Could someone mod the parent up? There are a hell of a lot of soundboard recordings of gigs (like, 2000 of them) which the archive had have taken down. The quality of most AUD recordings just pales in comparison. That said, 71-08-06 is an AUD possibly my favorite set.
In java 1.5 they added quite a few nifty things to the language, (generics, varargs, etc). I'm surprised they've not thought of anything else worth adding.
Of course, it's still better to not fix stuff that ain't broke.
In 10 years, our communications infrastructure should be based on an architecture that provides a coherent framework for security, robust operation in the face of attack, and a trustworthy environment or services and applications.
Wasn't that what it was designed for in the first place?
I'm at uni and on their machines it's impossible to install stuff as root, so when I need something I have to install it in my homedir or/tmp. This is fiddly as hell, especially considering usually has to be done from source.
Can autopackage handle such installations (not having root, not knowing if a file is going to be persistent between logins, capable of running alongside another few instances of it)? Are there any other package managers which can?
They're only young, at least give them a chance to have a life when they grow up. In fact, it's probably your moral obligation to scare them off software engineering -- I wish someone did it to me.
Whoah.. what just came over me? For a moment, I really hated your dad!
And for good reason; if not for the patent thing, then because the he fathered someone who Linus considered "an evil man" -- and he's proud! (see parent posters homepage)
Are you on crack? If virtually suffocated myself cringing under a pillow when Archer suggested the Andorians and that other generic angry lot should "act more human".
If had had a drink every time the words "work together" were spoken... I'd be very, very drunk.
Boot times were atrocious, maybe worse than fedora due to innumerable services being started by default...many of them which I did not recognize. I seriously doubt postfix is a necessary service for the desktop audience they're targeting.
Firstly, note that this is not done in an insecure manner -- none of the services are listening on anything other than lo by default.
But more to the point -- I think it's really handy having a functional mail install by default. The user's attention is immediately grabbed on creation of a broken cron job, or on raid problems.
Having different fonts for your text and seeing them before you print it out and waist (sic) paper.
That's a bit of a lame example; experimenting with fonts does more harm than good. How could your work possibly have some characteristic making another font more 'suitable'? WYSIWYG is totally overrated. I recently found myself forced into using LaTeX and I'm loving it. It's really brought home to me that separating content from style actually is a good idea. Giving people too much power results in stuff like warning signs in comic sans.
I do like my GUIs, but it's always good to know about the text-based/CLI-driven alternatives.
Oh, and also:
Have 2 Terminals open one with the readme file in vi and the other is the shell window.
Microsoft say they/are/ putting a significant amount more effort into security these days, and I believe them.
However, they do still to provide stuff other than security patches to be able to sell an OS. They're duty bound to keep their XP patched for a few years yet.
Security patches alone are not enough for a new OS release.
I was using a wyse 75 just today. Green and black screen, keyboard which beeps when you type (I thought they only did that in the movies!), and the fear that using it will break something (shutting the thing off at the wrong time drops machines to prom, which is subtle enough to cause an annoying amount of downtime)
Yep, the retro charm of these things outweighs a software emulator any day:)
I absolutetly agree - the windows shell^Wprompt is remarkably unusable. It's a miracle noone has made a half decent port. (No, cygwin doesn't count)
On a similar note, I think "start menus" tedious to manage and inflexible. Admittedly most window managers in 'nix have these too, but at least there's the choice to opt out.
I don't know anything about Transmeta (other than the fact they employ Mr Torvalds) - is this processor x86? (I'm guessing so because of the XP thing - but XP should actually be actually quite portable)
Also, how do these things perform relative to Intels and AMDs of the same "speed"?

So as long as you use the metareference, you're okay :)
Funny that you implicate you can't spread viruses without an IP stack.
Sign of the times, I guess.

What was it, a single single failure in over 30 years?
Technology really is moving backwards.
Why don't they just cut to the chase and give us those cybernetic implants we were promised?

Now I hate clever people more than ever :(

... when they're going to introduce the short skirts again
Aha, thanks. Not sure which one it was I've now enabled, but all seems to be working :)
