You get them in packs of 15? I get packs of 5, but I am literally being spammed with them.
Hmm, I wonder why they can't do better..

Maybe because the customers buying planes and turbines (i.e. airlines) did not give a damn up to now?
Volcanic ash is quite usual in a few places, but they never complained about grounded planes _there_. Why? No economic incentive. Now that it has hit Europe, they lose money big time. Now they care.
No idea what that level of certification means, but I have been using Linux exclusively since around 2001, first dabbled with it around 1998. The first thing I ever did on a running Linux was to learn the basics of vi and then went on building my own custom, static kernel without module support. And I still learn new things every week or two.
I agree that this was a dick move by Gizmodo. But... at least now that the name is in the open, Apple will not be able to fire him in the near future. They may be the behemoth of doing whatever the fuck they want, but this would be _bad_ PR.
If the emergency documentation I carry with me gets stolen along with my backpack, people will be pissed. But I am supposed to keep this stuff near me so that is a calculated risk.
If I leave the emergency documentation in a bar because I was drunk, well...
Admittedly, it's easier to pull out and lose a cell phone, but the basic principle remains the same.
You hide behind a crate, through which you can easily shoot a hole. This happens without anyone hearing the shot, the splintering wood and no one notices the exit hole in a random crate through which muzzle shots flash. _Then_ you shoot through said hole, not seeing anything. Your Magical Box Of Holding will then just eat all bullets which want to go the other way.
Moral? If you say you make realistic environments, make realistic examples.
I have nothing but contempt for people who don't have the guts to ban something outright but try to make it de facto banned by forcing people to jump through hoops.
Damn those people who require me to have a driver's licence and be sober, too!
You know where they are coming from, but it seems the tier 1 & 2 ISPs are not willing to filter incoming routes from China. With signed announcements, they would have something to filter on. While that won't help if they just strip all intermediary AS numbers out of the routes (unless upstreams are also verified, at some point), it will still improve the overall situation.
Well, New Zealand wanted to open ACTA negotiations for a lot longer, but one of the conditions of the ACTA negogiations is that _everyone_ needs to agree if they want to open up anything. Which is what the US tried to strong-arm everyone else with.
There's Intellisense which, you may have heard, is kind of a big deal about Visual Studio. If the language adds new constructs (which is does), and the IDE isn't updated to cope with that, then you end up with useless, or even worse-than-useless, Intellisense.
Disclaimer: I never used VS, never will. I may be making wrong assumptions etc pp.
You seem to imply that the toolset around the compiler needs to newer or exactly as old as the compiler. While there are ways to get around that I'd say that this is painfully obviously the case pretty much everywhere. That would still mean I can use newer tools around an older compiler and stuff works. Which is what GP wanted, imo.
Wow, this is NEWS! I am sure there is a Wiki with more furry-related information than Wikipedia, too. Do I care? No. Does it appear on/.? No. And a good thing, also.
Well, neither do I. Noodles are fine for dinner, too.
That in and as of itself does not count very much unless said researcher is shown to be a leader of opinion and/or part of a larger consensus. I don't claim to know either way, simply wanted to point that out.
Is it really that surprising that they found a very cool, and thus faint, brown dwarf nearby?
This is a serious question. Sure, space is large and everything, but (common) faint stuff should be easier to find nearby.
As an aside, I am always thrilled when interesting things are found nearby. Sure, 10 light years is a long way, but it might be feasible to reach with robot probes within a generation or ten. Add ten years of time for the information to travel back and we have More Data.:)
RIPE is pushing to have all route announcements signed by 1.1.11 and the other four RIRs are following suit. Personally, I can't wait for this to happen:)
Then you either need to know your car and thus the pedal positions very well or you need to use the hand-brake to start driving uphill. Personally, I prefer to not use hte hand-brake and see it as free practice lessons.

Ah, because public outcry made them unban people and still tighten their rules it's not an issue? Neither in this specific case nor generally?

That's all nice and dandy, but I don't see why I should install non-free codecs :)

So... what generated more buzz?
This is a serious question, I try to fade out anything Apple. If not for the "revealed the poor sod's name" thing, I would not be in this thread.
[...] three [...] out of the last 26. [...] You people claiming Slashdot is full of Apple articles are full of shit.
Full of shit I might be, but do me a favour and count how many stories there are about any other company. Oups.

Also, I probably care more than I should ;)

So the question still stands: Did they succeed?
IIRC, the USA only wanted to drop their veto if the other countries agreed to some draconian "improvements" to ACTA, first. Did that happen?
Ah, k. Thanks for that clarification. As I said, I never used VS and based my posting on a lot of assumptions.

640 k cores, you mean.
Wrong, It is _not_ unstoppable. Go read up on Hawking radiation.
Not sure if a single atom can become a black hole, but I would say no.
Yay! MoO!
Number one on my "why don't they open source it" list!
PS: MoO2 & 3 sucked.
