And while you're there, don't use OS X, Linux, iPhone or anything other than windows to access this site, because they're all unsafe because they don't use IE6.
Let's just forget for a second that you can fit all of a dozen words on the screen at one time.
Maybe you should try?
I have just read The Count of Monte Cristo, and am reading Wuthering Heights on my iPhone, and it's great. Not because the screen is fantastic, but because I can read it anywhere, as my book is with me all the time.
I used to hardly ready at all because I didn't set aside the time. Now I can read bits here and there, waiting for meetings, trains etc.
(I used to do all this on a B&W Palm V, so this is a vast improvement!)
AIX still has significant advantages over Linux for us. A lot (all?) of the stuff that is new in AIX has come from the AS/400 390 mainframe stuff, and the hardware for AIX line is now the same as that for the AS/400 line (or whatever they're all called this week).
For our business, AIX is still rock solid, has excellent support (as you'd expect for the cost) and can dynamically switch resources between virtual systems. The CPU allocation is wonderful. It can automatically assign spare CPU to any system that needs it, giving preference to production systems.
The virtual networking and hardware self-monitoring is also far superior to what little I've seen in the Windows area.
While I can't comment on other systems, AIX has given us a lot of flexibility and reliability that the Intel team here (mostly Windows) don't get in their virtual server environment.
Of course all this is changing, and the smaller systems are getting the bigger system stuff.
So the real question is not "how ready is Linux to AIX?" but rather "can Linux do what I want now?" because all the mainframe technology is filtering down to be accessible to consumer grade stuff.
Well, I presume since they asked Slashdot, it was because his kids didn't answer. Young kids needs guidance, and the obvious thing for parents to do is to give them their values and let the kids work out what is right and wrong in their own time. A kid doesn't know what's out there until they've seen it. As a parent I have the benefit of experience that my kids don't have. I should share those experiences with my kids. As they get older and learn, they can then choose whether or not they want to accept my values, and I will support them whatever they decide.
Funny you should say that. Each year my family makes an old German recipe for pretzels. To get the crusts nice, they use caustic soda, which is also used for clearing drains, and has lots of directions telling you what to do (very quickly) if someone eats it.
My chemistry teach way back in High School refused to believe that we could eat the stuff and survive. She was sure I meant "baking soda" not "caustic soda".
What you say is true about rational people. Ever tried to debate irrational people? Logic and common sense do not prevail.
Not that I support censorship in general, but I see this as far more appropriate to censor than almost anything else that's already being censored. All the other stuff is just fiction.
Do you have kids? I thought like you did until I had a daughter and a son (4.5 and 1.5 years old respectively).
The daughter has picked up all of my logic skills (for better or worse:) and wouldn't have a clue what to do with dolls, except crudely mimic her friends. She is only now getting into the role-playing stuff (again, crudely compared with her friends.)
My son is much more the touchy-feely type (like my wife). He notices people, is sympathetic towards people, enjoys human contact more and the list goes on and on.
As for the nurture side of things, my daughter has heaps of dolls, kitchen stuff etc, but always goes for the Lego. She could construct towers with blocks well before my son. She is very methodical and not as much the people person.
So, in short, we can correctly generalise how boys and girls behave, but there are natural exceptions that I am certain are hard-wired into their little brains.
And of course, we tend to play/interact with people in a way that we think they would like. So of course we'd play with boys this way and girls that way.
Sure, it may be easier to go and have a drink to catch up, but would someone who chose non-alcoholic drink when they socialised make less money? Would someone who drank alone at home make more money than someone who drank tea alone at home?
The article doesn't mention that anything has been found. Rather a copy could lead to further clues. FTA:
"It is hoped documentation associated with Mr Clifton's reel will help direct researchers to the warehouse or museum where the missing tapes are stored - if they still exist."
When has the paper backup proved useful? I can't imagine running even a small/medium business and being able to retrieve useful information after a disaster. And then what do you do? Rekey it into a brand new system?
I think paper based backups would be fine if you had a paper-based business, but if you use databases to make it easier to getting to stuff, a paper-based recovery seems crazy.
You'd be far better off IMHO to get your tape backups to a state where they are reliable. Even if that means running a full Disaster Recovery test each week. If you don't trust the tapes, don't use them. They are useless. Get something better.
The main goal is to recover to a point that the business deems acceptable (ASAP, of course) for as little money as possible (of course), assuming everything in the building is destroyed (even the paper!). The costs and overheads obviously increase the closer you want to recover to the time of disaster.
Linus Torvalds might have said, "Backups are for wimps. Real men upload their data to an FTP site and have everyone else mirror it" but he was talking about kernels and files that are modified and then closed, not 2TB databases that always change (so incrementals, rsync, etc. are even impractical).
Why don't you try drinking a case worth of water and see if it's still yuk by the end of it? You may be surprised. After all, you were with the diet soft drink:)
Why wouldn't Apple include this feature? It'd quieten (so to speak) the people who criticise it for being too loud, while others can do as they always have been doing.
Rather than seeing it as an admission of guilt, Apple could use it to put an end to anyone who might not let their kids have one because it was too loud.

I think this qualifies, although maybe on a technicality. Surely if you put the worlds smallest motor on it, you'd have the worlds smallest motor car.
I think that it's not as sensasionalist as you make out.
Not music listeners. Music acquirers (either by illegal or illegal means.)
I hardly ever buy CDs these days, have never downloaded stuff (don't laugh!), and have 700+ CDs, all legal but getting a bit old. I listen to at least several every day.
Consequently, my passion doesn't even show up as a blip on their radar.
I also know people who download all the latest stuff but hardly ever listen to it. Who can blame them, really;-).
Quite agree. The Peugeot turbo diesel option (same Bosch direct injection technology) keeps setting world records. Their 307 just got 3.49 litres per 100km's (or 81.16 mpg in old money) according to this website. They averaged 1,700 Km per 60 litre tank!
Why add all the complication of hybrid technology, or why not couple an engine like this with hybrid technology?
Slashdot Mirror
"Mind wandering is typically associated with negative things like laziness..." and "our brains are very active when we daydream"
These aren't mutually exclusive. It just means our brains are very active on other topics
Are the ideals here really about freedom and liberty or just thinly-veiled anti-corporatism?
... or are Slashdotters just against the abuse of patents by certain corporations?
You missed one option.

Kit it out with stuff that you're passionate about. Only then can they get your passions...
What makes you think they don't search around the suspect's property? It's just that they don't need a warrant to look around public places.
Funny you should say that. Each year my family makes an old German recipe for pretzels. To get the crusts nice, they use caustic soda, which is also used for clearing drains, and has lots of directions telling you what to do (very quickly) if someone eats it.

I think that's very true for the broad Australian dialect, but not for the majority of Australians... just the ones that sound really Australian.
Except that this article says that they have included friends that are separated by distance.
found that even having a fat friend hundreds of kilometres away can affect a person's weight.Except that mainframes aren't the simple beasts they were. They have evolved like everything else as new technologies evolve and mature.
