Cops beating someone up ARE criminals, and you can bet your booty they'd get a law on the books allowing law enforcement and other "officials" to have cameras which ignore the facefuzz flag while transmitting it themselves.
There's a pun in there somewhere about the fuzz using a fuzz flag... fuzzbusters... old memory cells coming back to life, creakliy...
With your film camera, the bodyguards stroll over, open the camera, take out the roll, presto!
With a wireless digital camera, too late, it's already been transmitted and is on its way to worldwide distribution, *especially* when you send a followup -urgent- signal and series of pictures showing said bodyguards on their way over.
I used CVS for a long long time, over ten years, finally switched to SVN to get renaming. This is all for personal use, altho I have used CVS at a lot of companies too, so atomic commits didn't have much to do with CVS --> SVN. But I never liked SVN keeping things in binary files, and not being able to just look around the repository with any old editor, and 6 months later, I switched to DARCS to get the simple repository. I was surprised to find the patchset mentality very refreshing, and why I will stick with it. I have only started understanding how much more flexibility it provides. I can't see going back to CVS or SVN.
Try DARCS on some small project sometime. It has conversion scripts from CVS, but I don't think from SVN, altho I could be mistaken; my time with SVN wasn't long enough to obsolete most of my CVS repository.
Really, DARCS is liberating. It's the same feeling I had getting out of the navy. A breath of fresh air, great gobs of it, just fine, thank you:-)
Good gosh, slashdot is really going to pieces. Two people explain Spinal Tap to me, another comes up with a possibly real, possibly tongue-in-cheek answer, and, worst of all, someone mods me up as "insightful". What do I have to do, add footnotes and explanations?
I guess the two Spinal Tap explainers never heard the joke about only 10 people in the world. No, I'm not going to explain that.
This is pathetic. Insightful, jeez. Now watch someone mod this as flamebait or funny.
what reason do I have to take PJ's word over O'Gara's?
Any literate person can read articles written by both of them, see which ones have references and are internally self-consistent, and pretty easily decide who is lying thru her teeth.
Anyone who considers O'Gara reasonable probably also thinks Fox is fair and balanced.
LILO used to require the boot image be within the first 1024 cylinders I think. So/boot was/dev/hda1 and small enough to guarantee the entire partition was within the safe range. Otherwise, as you installed new versions of the kernel image, it would eventually migrate away from the safe range.
I think it was Napolean who derided the British as a nation of shopkeepers. He was referring to their crass mercantile system, symptomatic of less class snobbery, as compared to the French. What he didn't understand was that the British could (horrible word) innovate much faster than the French. French society was much more static and rigid and bureaucratic than the British.
I don't want the ISP to filter my email, because I like having my own domain to which I can add temporary accounts when I want, and not have to edit their filter rules and wait for the next cycle. Plus, their filters are not by user name but generalized spam filters, and I don't want that. I have thought about satellite, but to use my own domain name and run my own SMTP server, they charge an arm and a leg.
You recognized it, you offered an alternative which you feel is legit, but you did recognize it, and that's all any word is good for. Therefore it's a good word, a real word. As Andrew Jackson said, it's a poor mind that can only think of one way to spell a word.
No, it was brakes alone, in order, I suppose, to simulate contaminated fuel or who knows what. The picture in the article showed the red hot brakes hours after the 747 had stopped.
The two presidents with the worst budget deficits, both accomplished by combining tax cuts and with increased spending, are Bush (Republican) and Reagan (Republican).
The last two presidents to have a budget surplus were Clinton (Democrat) and Johnson (Democrat).
Social Security is NOT in crisis. The trust fund is growing, and will do so for another ten years or so. It will then gradually decline and take about 50 years to be bankrupt. This can easily be fixed by a small payroll tax increase. Entrusting Social Security to the likes of Enron and World Com, who were run to the ground by friends of Bush, is a pretty inept way of rescuing a system which does not need rescuing any time soon, and even then, can be easily rescued by a small tax increase. MOre likely, Bush wants to make it appear to be in crisis so he can destroy this leftover from FDR's New Deal. Socialism and all that, doncha know....
The privatization plan would require another two trillion $$$ to finance during the transition period, all borrowed of course. A small payroll tax increase is far less intrusive than the massive inflation tax generated by such borrowing.
I wish I could think of a way to make this work for me...
I have my own domain name, I have had it for about ten years, and a uucp name before that. I am also on dialup. Up until about 6 months ago, the only spam I got was the usual, and since I can use whitelists, it was pretty easy to weed out.
Then some scumbag decided to send spam to all possible names he could think of at my dowmain. It started out slowly, but has been increasing all the time, and I now receive about 50,000 (yes, it will soon overflow a 16 bit counter) spams a day. These are pure unadulterated spams, to accounts that have never existed, which have never opted in or surfed the web or anything. I have a friend who wants it for his own spam analysis, so I have been bzip2ing it and saving it until I can get it to him.
But this is starting to be a real pain. If I bounce it, my ISP deals with it, since I am only online a few hours a day. It's not seeing it that bothers me, I never see it or do anything other than save it for my friend or delete it, it's the bandwidth hog on dialup. When I first connect after several hours offline, it becomes a flood which interferes with everything else, even with my qmail throttled back to just a few simultaneous connections. I can't configure PPP with on-demand because the constant spam resets the idle timer, so I have to explicitly bring ppp up and down.
I'd love to reject these connections, but most of it comes from my ISP having saved it up as secondary MX. I can't get broadband here, or I'd be happy as a clam at high tide in bogging the spammers down with slow tarpit connections or just plain rejecting the email or dropping the connections. I have thought of doing this to the few spams that come in while I am online, but that would only cut a small fraction of the volume, since most of it comes from my ISP as secondary MX.
I hate spammers. Burnt to death with matches, one at a time, is a just reward, and I'd be more than happy to do it myself, except for the time involved. Hang 'em by their toes with their heads in a bucket until they drown in their own vomit sounds more efficient. They are scum.
The AvLeak article I remember (but I could be wrong, of course) was very clear that engines could not be reversed for this test. Spoilers, flaps, I don't remember, but it was basically brakes alone, no engines, to stop the plane safely.
suppose you're powering down the runway in a Boeing 777, just about fast enough to take off, and the nose of the plane starts to lift.
Suddenly, the right engine fails. There isn't enough runway left for the plane to safely slow down and stop. Oh god, you're going to die, right?
I think this is wrong in a nitpicky sort of way. I believe that one of the standard certification tests for an airliner, maybe for any airplane, is to reach takeoff speed at max gross takeoff weight, then come to a complete safe stop using brakes alone, no thrust reversers. Aviation Leak had a picture of a 747 having gone thru this procedure, with the brakes still red hot an hour or two later. The plane must not catch fire from the heat, but the test doesn't care about how much has to be repaired afterwards, like new tires or frozenbrakes, it just has to be safe.
This is all from memory. I am not a pilot or aero engineer.
But once the plane is in the air, engine failure is as you describe. And it may be that if the nose has lifted but the mains are still on the ground, it is a gray area. So maybe I am just talking out my ass --- but this IS slashdot, ne?
4.7GB each side. Being in cartridges, they supposedly have a much longer lifetime than DVD-RW. Plenty for weekly full backups. I don't backup the system directories like/usr/bin because they are from an install. I backup/etc//home/root/usr/local/var/{various}. No need for anything fancy.

My bad
Your good. Or better yet, you're good.
Teamwork!
We're talking some wowser amazing techno feat here, boys and girls, if Google pulls this off ...

1. Their frisbees don't hurt when they hit you.
2. Their frisbees don't travel as far, so you don't have to run as much.
3. If you don't catch their frisbee, not only do you not want to pick it up, you don't have to, it is generally biodegradeable.
2. Dogs have more fun when they catch one, and are generally inclined to take a break, thus giving you a break too. Much more relaxing.

My kernel only goes up to 11.
How'd you get a three processor system? Is it a quad board, discounted heavily because one socket was broken? That'd be neat, where'd you get it?

Sent in the correction while it was still "in the future", redly ... sometimes they pay attention, sometimes not.

Programmers who can't spell? Now I've heard (sic) everything!
Slashdotters who have bad grammar? Now I, too, have heard of everything!

It was rotating as it went down, I think 5 rpm or so, and if the microphone was on one side, maybe the volume peaks at certain angles.

Not Berkley!
Or call it Berserkeley. But get that E in there!
there very well may be no usage of brakes
No, it was brakes alone, in order, I suppose, to simulate contaminated fuel or who knows what. The picture in the article showed the red hot brakes hours after the 747 had stopped.

OK, educate me. Is V1 the speed at which you raise the nose? Or do you rotate at V1 + 5 or something?
