i was just about say something along these lines. Theo can turn folks who encounter him for the first time, but i gotta tell ya, i sleep better at night with a stripped, clean, secure OpenBSD firewall. i give money to the FSF, i think OpenBSD is deserving of my monetary support as well. Glad to see this type of recognition for his work:)
Meh, how about changing the size of a pint!? Huh? Yeah, who's with me on this one? i could certainly go for pints being larger... 'specially around lunch time:)
Will some one give me an idea of what this means for our current encryption systems and me as a private citizen... kinda wishing to keep things still, ya know, private and without having access to the same horsepower?
to have the sales folks in a store be able to read the info, check your limit, and in *MY* case, simply leave me alone while i browse, since i'm always broke anyway and don't like to be hassled whilst i look at stuff i can't buy!
* Temperature--Tardigrades can survive being heated to 350 K and cooled to less than 30 K.
* Radiation--They have been known to withstand 570,000 röntgens of x-rays (500 röntgens would be fatal to a human).
* Pressure--They can withstand being in a vacuum and in pressures that are many times greater than atmospheric pressure.
Damn, i love this place. Seriously, dammit. Here we have post on a tech/it site titled "Harry Potter and the Bible" modded +4 Interesting at the time of this posting... that is actually interesting. And even i find it interesting and the fact that you are most likely of age and know what is and how to spell "quidditch" is quite frightening. i'm sad to say i knew it too (they took my Ko0lBadge away a long time ago).

i had no idea all the stuff going on with Enlightenment (haven't used it for years), but after reading what Rasterman had to say, i think i'll begin checking Enlightenment out again. Does it play well with Fedora?

Dammit, now i'll have to buy a blinged out mp3 player from these twoguys. Shizzle mah nizzle, these will be tiz-ite. Seriously, the second guy is the president and CEO.
"with 'super-hits' like Tomboy, F-spot, MonoDevelop, Muine & Blam!"
Keep that in mind for a sec. Disclaimer: i use GNU/Linux, support the EFF with real $$, and buy boxed distros when available.
Having said that, heh, F/OSS program/suite names just crack me up sometimes. i was doing fine until that last one.
Picture this: Dimmed boardroom (lolz, yes lights and minds... funneh.), that stupid projector and powerpoint setup and you pitching new support and installation services for some really cheap software... like free... beer and speech. You're calmly cruising through the lists and what each does. With a nodding of heads and whatnot they listen to you drone. Then you jump forward and scream, throwing your hands out:
BLAM!
Swear all of holy hell, you're goin' to jail for dropping 4-6 members with heartattacks. Not good for business.
Never, never, never, should you leave the polling area with "proof" of how you voted - it will lead to cooersion and intimidation and all sorts of other shifty dealings. There is a reason that your vote is private.
For those who are still not getting it: Guido will wait outside the polling area, if you don't have the "proper" vote, your kneecaps are fucked. Or your family, or your dog. Whatever. This is a silly example, but i figured i'd share with you why paper proof in your hand is NEVER a good idea. Yes, private paper trails for recounts, blah, blah, blah - that's not what i'm talking about here.
i normally rip on Michael for posting crap, but looking back over tonight he's done a fair job of picking good stories. i should probably post this on my own journal, but felt i'd make it public-like.
Seriously, nice track of stories tonight. Mod OT if you like, but i needed to post for the record (i'm not an ass). Fair is fair, Michael, you did alright by tonight. Peace, bro.
Wrote a post the other day about being discouraged (and pissed) about companies (and ultimately your fellow man) being willing to "fuck ya" just to get a buck, beat the "other guy" to market, and make another buck.
Burns me up.
This is just not an "oversight"...surely they tested this....surely. All i can do is sigh and just....fuck it - makes me...just sad. This should have shown up in routine, run-of-the-mill tests...and they shipped it anyway.
i know you can't cover every corner case, but, er a cell phone hitting low battery is not what i'd consider a corner case. Now, if there was 3rd party this or that crammed in there after the fact (ie customer did that crap), now way to forsee that, but damn....hearing damage? C'mon, if i had to choose one of two options:
a) batt low, be fucking LOUD to warn of it..
b> batt low, warn, beep, blink, flash, beep more...and then even more...
hell, beep that ass off, but loud enough to damage one's ear? Fuck that. No one to blame, but the dudes that made it...period.
i gotta ask what state is this? (State? i meant, where are you located? Not all folks on/. are stateside)
While the point was made that one might not be able to cruise the highways and byways without paying a fuel tax, i must ask those that pointed that out: have you asked your congresspersons why a person not using fossil fuels might not be gifted the pleasure of being exempted from said taxes? After all, they are making an effort to move from them, why punish them for it? Where will that revenue come from if everyone jumps on this boat? You tax me on my car, that i own, already, tack on a "right to drive the roads" tax and keep the fuel tax for those willing to keep using the fossil fuels (in addition to the RTD tax). i know, i know, outrage, riots, blah, blah, blah, you and i both know Americans won't take notice of....well, anything until it hits that pocketbook. We should not be so dependant on the fossil fuels as it is, so tax the folks using it, enter the "right to drive the road" tax, and give a small break to those making the effort to break from the norm. The roads will be paid for in some way (hell or high water), so why not start "helping" folks convert by punishing those that still refuse to buy a hybrid?
Oh but not everyone can afford a hybrid or biodesiel!!! Tell ya what, subsidize that them, give tax breaks for buying them. Not that hard to imagine....unless you own an oil company, or distributor, or refiner, or get campaign bank from them.
Poor guy shouldn't be picked on, perhaps made to help pay for the roads he drives on, but not singled out or made an example of (a bad one).:-)

If this was for a technical reason, i guess i'm wondering what that reason was (mainly because i only run AMD at home and would really like to know).
Anyone know why? Or did Intel stop by and mention something special is in the works?

Yes, it's a joke.

... is there a gigantic-ass picture of the Sun name and logo linking to an even giant-ass-ed-er (what?) picture of ... the Sun name and logo.
Solid review.
Yes, i'm kidding and going to read the review now.
Something in my head just popped.

i hear ya. i'm pulling e17 from CVS on source forge right now to see if i can get it to work on FedoraC3. Here's to hoping :)

Heh, i'd like to see this thing in action...and hear it (safely via some video). Can't help but think it's louder than all of holy hell.
