You can actually set it so that when your computer BSOD's it will simply reset. Discovered this when my graphics card was continually causing the kernel (with the graphics card driver) to memory dump.
After reading my own comment I think I see the problem...
Also from the GPL Faq is that you need to specifically add the exception text to the license. If this was not done then yes there is a problem.. Otherwise then there wouldn't be... As per usual the slashdot blurb is a bit sensationalist...
As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font, and embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the document might be covered by the GNU General Public License. If you modify this font, you may extend this exception to your version of the font, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version.

My experience is that the berkley db orgiginally the only choice in SVN sucked. I had a full database lock with a small project witihn 2 week. However now that I'm using the fsfs repository its been smooth sailing.
I really like subversion, better than CVS in every way I know... except the checkout and lock functionality.
In terms of security I fail to see your point. How is subversion not secure? Perhaps you set it up incorrectly? It sounds to me like you're simply trolling... whoops i bit..
Actually a liger is the result of the mating between a tiger and a lion. It actually exists and sadly doesn't display any magical properties. It is also the largest of all cats so thats gotta be pretty cool..
I'm the author of one of those "monstrosities" you're talking about. Initially I was embarrased to hypothetically release it but then I realised that almost all of the projects on SF simply don't work as well as my hack does. If my app was released onto SF I'd consider working on it from home too which is something I will NOT do if its just at work...
My application is a web based timesheet program. The only part I'm "proud" of is the pdf timesheet generation. Other than that the application runs, with almost zero maintenance (occasionally a strange bug pops up on average once every three months). The part I'm least proud of is the interface which looks worse than slashdot.. and the code that generates it has SQL, PHP, and php generated javascript all in one file (ie a total mess). It is reasonably well commented though since I've had to have other people working on it. Oh the database sucks too since it was converted directly from an excel sheet its pretty much one huge table... whoops..
My feeling is getting the company to actually release its previous IP freely unto the world would be an uphill battle. Maybe there is a different culture in other companies but mine is heavily protective and risk adverse in that sense.
Perhaps that error makes perfect sense to us but to someone who doesn't know much about computing that error can be incredibally crytic. I once came home to find my dad actually trying to remove the hard drive. Perhaps its easier with some disk drives since the button doesn't come out so far when a disk is inserted.
I do use debian. I love it for my home server. Its on an old box and I don't want it spending all week building everything with gentoo. But it is running Debian Sarge which I feel is the best combination of stability and newness.. Throw a few backports in and you get most if not all the software you need for a server with no fuss...
If i had a faster server I would for sure be heading down the gentoo route...
Everyone knows that iTunes allows a user to play purchased music tracks to up to 5 computers, without repeated payment, under the condition that the computers are registered. The computer registration involves a process of identity verification in which a user is required to key in into the computer the correct Apple ID and password he used to purchase the song.
This is certainly a patentable technology. If iTunes does not patent it, there must be a very good reason for them not to do so- someone else has patented this.
Certainly patentable? Perhaps apple's version is although it's a bit of a stretch. It's a huge assumption to make that because apple didn't patent it then someone else must have. Perhaps apple considered this to be an obvious technology and therefore NOT patentable? Perhaps they didn't patent it because they wanted everyone to be able to use this technology?
Pat-rights named the technology as "Internet/Remote User Identity Verification", earned a US Patent 6,665,797 therefor, and world-wide patents pending. In the end of 2003, Apple indicated in its communication to Pat-rights that Apple had no interested in licensing it and remain silence ever since then.
As far as I can tell it's called "Protection of software again against unauthorized use" who knew we could "again" protect against unauthorized use?
"We have kept a close watch on every development of iTunes. We believe this is willful infringement", said CEO of Pat-rights, Mr. Philip H.K. Tse,"We lose face. Apple shows no respect to us and our patent rights!"
The US Patent 6,665,797 is written in plain English, even a layman can read and understand it. "They are playing unfair to their customers, not us." Mr. Tse further commented.
Plain english is debatable, here is the abstract: "A central program comprising a EI sub-program for providing identity information of the rightful user thereof for accessing a network central computer to obtain service(s) or software product(s) or alike, in which a secure operation on an account of the rightful user for payment therefor involved; and a AS sub-program for using the existence of the EI sub-program in a computer as a precondition for authorising use of those software products obtained on that computer. The central program is for managing the use of the individual sub-programs therein so that the AS sub-program can be protected from being copied individually."
That's a whopping TWO sentences! Although I guess it is "plain" english.
To me this seems overly broad and stupidly obvious. Authentication is a security mechanism covered in any undergrad network security course so it seems a bit of a stretch that this isn't obvious to anyone skilled in the arts.. hmmph.. disgusting.
The summary said over a specified interval. So obviously the computer has some sort of catapult-like device attached. No doubt the python script calculates the angles and force required to put the specified interval between the fish puree.
I also initially read 11,000 rather than 11 kelvin. Its not about the summary being incorrect (it's not) its about improving understandability. But we'll work on that once we get the spelling errors and the dupes taken care of (ie: a day after hell freezes over)
Re:Man, you're buying the wrong motherboards...

Mac mini Dissection
·
· Score: 1
1. With fedora core does the bundled software with the motherboard work?
Answer: Nope.
2. Which free alternatives for av software currently are AS good as what is available for free with the macMini?
Answer: Probably none. If you know of some I'd love to hear of them.
3. How much value is gained from knowing that if you want to take up a new hobby you have some quality tools available to you?
Answer: At least some, even if you personally aren't interested in DVD authoring, creating music, or editing movies. Perhaps you'll meet someone you want to do a favour for, perhaps someone in your family will want you to do so, perhaps you'd like to just have a bit of a play?
4. The grandparent forgot to mention you'll need to buy and equivalent for xcode. Which would be some form of IDE so either Visual Studio, or something from borland? I'm fully aware you can just as easily use emacs/vi with gcc (or something similar in windows) but these aren't equivalent.
5. So because all your appliances are getting smaller they are easier to rip off? I've got a nice big rear projection tv with anti theft protection available to you at the price of a new plasma.. deal? Perhaps smaller is nice, you can use the mini as a 2nd computer on your desk, or even in the loungeroom as a PVR.. its more flexible.. this adds value.
6. The mini has more style. Your daughters glowing sphere doesn't. Okay.. thats a bit unfair but style is a subjective topic. I'd prefer the mini.
7. You get things done more easily in fedora? What type of things? I like linux but it isn't ready for the desktop. OSX IS... you get the power user shortcuts that advanced users delight in. But you can do pretty much everything with the single button mouse most of us have. Can you do that in Fedora?
Answer: Didn't think so...
Result: Probably the mini isn't for you. You don't like OSX anyway and would prefer a big, ugly machine running a nice, but difficult to use, operating system.
The grandparents post was indicating that they haven't had time to lose a dominant position. True they've been very good at getting to the top... strategies for remaining at the top are entirely different.
Ask any company CEO, MD and you'll find that staying at the top is another challenge in itself. Microsoft is discovering this (almost certainly the management of all areas already know this).
I'm pretty sure that on the windows featurelist is "the ability to run windows programs" or something to that affect. So if MS releases a patch to stop a particular app from working then people should be bitching and moaning. Therefore your analogy is wrong and your argument bunk.. so I'll ignore the last part..
Once again, my point was that its better to have stuff like that automatically and properly tested by a machine rather than a human. It may be more programming work but you'll spend less time testing. Yes.. unit tests *SHOULD* catch things like that.. but compile time checking *ALWAYS* will (provided you are using a true statically typed language)
I don't know about you but spending my time testing typing issues which can be better examined automatically at compile time is exactly my idea of "huge cost".
Using an appropriate language for the job (statically typed or dynamically typed) is much more appropriate, instead of advocating a one size fits all approach.
Slashdot Mirror
What the fuck do you think ASP is? Okay sure its a pile of junk (unless he means .NET which he probably doesnt). But get over yourself.
The summary states that 24 hours of vulnerability would increase infection rates. This is, of course, correct.
Slashdot gets it right for once. While hell is freezing over Microsoft will also provide 24 hour turnaround on providing patches for vulnerabilities.
Akamai for static content and take a look at livejournal's setup for dynamic content (master-master replication based on mysql).
Other people are much more qualified than I to answer the number of servers questions though.
If you violate the terms of the license then the license is revoked thus making you a copyright infringer..
Same for the .au version... I think it might be everyone except the plain .com version
You can actually set it so that when your computer BSOD's it will simply reset. Discovered this when my graphics card was continually causing the kernel (with the graphics card driver) to memory dump.
Perhaps someone can help out with the setting..
In Australia the correct acronym is ARIA, as in Australia Recording Industry Association.
But they are pretty much the same thing.
The price is horrible though... the current exchange rate is 1 USD = 1.28923 AUD... so 1.80 AUD per track is outrageous.
urr doesn't that make the directory non browseable?

500mA and 2.5W as can be seen here. Your point is still relevant though.
