why would a majour bank ever run more than one operating system? wouldn't it be much less hassle to standardise on one platform? Especially when both are so similiar (*nix). Just a question from someone whose never admined in their life.
No discussion of Canadian music is complete without them. If you've never seen them live then you are missing out. Though I hear they are not a big out west.
I've boughten majour label CDs such as Pearl Jam's vs. for as little as $5 CDN. Considering that at most places you can brin in CDs you don't want anymore for credit it becomes even cheaper. You'll bump into interesting people into music too and you can pick-up real bargains, indie-label, and out of print albums. I don't know how else you'd get a copy of Soundgarden's "Screaming Life/Fopp" EP
For anyone in the London, ON region may I recommend you check out Dr. Disc or City Lights-- which is also a great used bookstore with a cool vibe.
And MS doesn't damage the economy? Sending all your money to the US? I don't mean to troll but wouldn't it be better for an economy (not to mention more struggling ones) to hire a some local, that way your currency can stay within your country.
I don't think that would happen or actually help. I read somewhere that a large part of mobo manufacturing costs is the ZIF. That means your mini-ITX board with ZIF would suddenly cost A LOT more.
psychology is the study of behaviour, psychiatry is a medical field.
I was just about to point this out when I noticed this post. As my mom is a psychologist I can tell you how many times that has been reiterated to me. It is an important clarification that people fail to grasp, but the difference is quite pronounced. It would be like confusing physics and engineering as one field since they share a common root in Newtonian equations.
I know this will never get read being so nested, but I think its worth mentioning. Multiple Personality Disorder does not exist, instead there is Diassociatative Identity Disorder (much like as with Retarded to Developmentally Challenged). The difference is the the 'personalities' are really personalities. Personalities are multi-faceted while each so-called personality is flat, uni-faceted, one mood, one identity, etc. Instead the term DID better reflects the current understanding the disorder. In it the individuals disassociates aspects of them selves to better compartmentalize the trauma and to be better deal with the situation. It is a lot less like multiple personalities and more accurately a single fractured personality in which one aspects does not recognizes other aspects of the self.
IANA Psychologist so stake this a grain of salt, but my mom is (MSc)and I talked her about this out of general interest and have read some abnormal psychology.
Not to troll or nitpick (of course this kind of statement usually indicates that what is to follow is going to be a trolling nitpick...) this has nothing to do with Linux... it's about GNOME. GNOME can run on multiple operating systems, just about any *nix variant that I can think of. Because what you said wouldn't make sense if you didn't use Linux but still used GNOME on Solaris. If we can't be bothered to differentiate between the three of them (kernel Linux, window manager GNOME/KDE/etc, and operating system GNU/Linux), then how can we expect more of the masses?
Linux's future is one of proprietary drivers and payware wrappers around proprietary Windows drivers.
This would reduce Linux down to x86 and x86-64 since proprietary drvers do not help anyone running anyother architecture. I'm just trying to figure how to get a WiFi card going in a mactop Only open drivers will let Linux users actually have the freedom and choice they want.
sorry, i just used the paragraph tags, no break-lines, and some white space just to see what i was writing better and still missed a few mistakes, sorry about that
Nice. I'm planning on learning how to tie scripting (have decided on Perl yet but it's a contender) and databases this summer anyway. This book might make the decision as to what to use for me.
However, for those just picking up Perl for the first time I recommend the free ebook Picking Up Perl, and the ActiveState Perl Interpreter for Windows (this was a while ago-- if you are using Linux it probably aleraday has Perl installed). And then as it was Windows I was learning Perl on I used OpenPerl IDE. For Linux I recommend using Kate and Konsole.
Not trying to be off-topic here but I figure someone reading this may want to try out what this Perl thing is.
Disclaimer: Not a Perl fan at all, I actually perfer Python, but to each their own and as any Perl hacker can appreciate TIMTOWTDI!;)
Our best bet is to fund family planning to prevent the 6 kids per family that we see in some countries.
That should be all countries. Just in my neighbourhood I know a family of 5 and a family of 6 and a family of 9 (I believe). This is in Canada and I'm quite sure this happens in the States and pretty much everywhere. Two kids is the ONLY responsible thing todo (and no that does not mean you should kill triplets, just don't attempt more after that). Really I think China has the right idea. After all, someone having children is not purely a personal decision, it's a societal decision because someone having their own kids that will end up entering into OUR society. That means resources need to be shared, jobs fought for (because they've got a shot at a fair life as anyone else once they're born, can't blame them for their parent's behaviour), and space to be divided, and social safety networks to be strained further! Unless one wants to adopt an Ann Rynd approach to the value of others, there really is no choice but to limit the reproductive freedoms of others because they burden us all.
I am also persuing a degree in ComputerScience. I am working on a combined Honours with Computer Science and Philosophy, but am planning on getting a Master's or PhD. I was wondering about how much does having OSS development on your resumé improve your chances? Does it count for anything in the 'real world'? Do employers look at it as 'real experience' like as if I had been been employed? Really what is it all worth? For anyone hiring what are you looking for? Would say that a Philosophy degree brings a little something more to the table (I'm taking philosohy because I enjoy it and find it more intellectually demanding than under-grad CompSci, not for monetary gain, but I do figure it should at least show that I am a flexible thinker)? How about non-CS job experience?

well a change from "->" to ".", could this be to bring Perl in line with most of the other OOP languages? eg. python and java?

And I can get a physical copy with pretty linear notes to go with it.
when it says longest frame was 2days do you mean 2 CPU days or 2 days of all the processors working on that one frame was 2 days?

But whats the possible damage if one of these plants pulls a Chernobyl on us?
Thats my only explanation.

The one question I always had is when would someone want to use NetBSD except for when they want to t=use *nix on their toaster?

it sounds like what the tech evangelist from microsoft spewed at my school so probably it is
anyone else think it's ironic/humourous that the parent was moderated FLAMEbait as opposed to troll?

FreeBSD also provides binary packages like gentoo does too. In gentoo the flag is -K IRC, FreeBSDs I can't remember
"I expect to see a lot of mod bouncing on this post."
Offends me as a non-native Canadian and is blatantly racist. Eg. "spew" "fetid" "lot"

Ah, but the question becomes are the powered by Cold Fusion?
