true, though if it were a little larger itd make a nice codpiece, so you could us it *for* your tool.... At least then it might have some practical value
How about college students, most colleges have some sort of internal filesharing going on, direct connect based, internal bittorrent tracker based, ftp servers on campus full of warez, movies, and music, etc.
A lot of college students (and consequently many 20-something graduates) have plenty of illegal movies to put on a ViPod. After all, for all that the itms store is great and all, it's illegal music dls and music swapping between friends that really fueled the ipod initially...
Read about it a while back, I believe they took the way gentoo boots (starts processes on seperate threads so machine is in a usable state before everything is loaded, non-priority stuff continues to load in background as you log in andd start to work, etc), and some more efficient boot options on the kernel (from fedora?).
I had been under the impression that SuSE had not had a ppc release in a while (since~7.2?). Glad to see they're back with it, it might just tempt me to migrate my apple-debian servers to SuSE ppc (I love SuSE's config tools).
...as they pesumably did, they documented what external changes were introduced into their official realeases, in which case they already know what needs to be removed without a code hunt.
I'm betting this is more a case of the MTA wanting to make sure that maps distributed are licensed from them and therefore correct. It would hurt them if the map was incorrect. For example, how old was this map, did it include the repairs finished this summer to the N and F trains for example?
just for the record, having just fixed our win2k3 domain controller, I can say with confidence active directory is a true PITA and POS. It's like they said "let's take something neat and cool and make it ugly and painful!". Grrr.. exploring moving to a osx server box with OD as I type this.
Mac people.... arent those the strange folk from across the pond that speak with a funny accent, see funny little men with gold, and drink copious amounts of wiskey (how they see the funny little men)...
I believe that since it uses a normal dock connector, if you buy a firewire cable it should work fine (just like new minis only come with usb cable, but firewire cable if you have it works fine...)
All right, for all you "just use firefox" idiots, there are unfortunately times when you need to use IE (like for some non-standard compliant web based software - hell there are times when I need to fire up IE under wine on my main box, a debian machine). This is a nice compromise.
I'll give you most of that, but on the Cuomo issue with the state budget, remember something. Most of the state budget comes from the city to begin with. In fact, upstaters get something like a a buck twenty-five back in state services and such for every dollar they pay in taxes whereas city people get approx seventy-five cents back for every dollar. As bad in other ways as cuomo was, what he wanted was to give the city a somewhat fairer return on its taxes.
Other than that though, spot on. The city people being assholes in rural areas are the ones that, as you said, can't really adapt to mvoing environs.
Rural definately has some major advantages. I prefer the city myself though, rural nice to visit and spend time in but a not a place to live for me.
Let me beg to differ here. I grew up (and live) in the heart of NYC. My family too took (and takes) long vacations up to the adirondaks and the catskills (actually, the 8 summers before the last 2 I spent exclusively in the adirondaks). I also now go to college out on LI.
The city certainly has plenty of drugs, but it also has a lot more people. In my time spent upstate I saw more underage drinking (which is far more dangerous than drugs in some ways, becase there also seemed to be a large amount of drunk driving), more heavy drug abuse, etc. than I ever saw in the city (and I went to a "stoner" school). Cookie cutterness I always associated with rural actually (or suburbia really) not urban.
If you want stupidity in schools look no further than your typical rural football based highschool (and before you make any comment about that being unsubstanciated, my parents used to live in missouri and my father once had a rather long argument with the local school board becuase they could find millions for a new football stadium, but not thousands for new books - and I've heard simillar stories from my upstate NY friends)
As for gated communities being influence by city ppl, I call bullshit. There are 2, maybe 3 gated communities in NY (seagate being one for example) and they hardly represent the normal city population.
the race issue is interesting, and on the surface you may be right about "more" racism in NYC. But remember the size of the city and it's diversity. There's more room for conflict and friction, more cultures butting heads. It's very hard to have that kind of tension in, say, a white one horse town with one "other" family in it, and when that friction occurs it's much less noticeable becuase the one "other" family isnt going to be backed up by others of their culture/ethnicity/religion/etc. I'm reminded of a friend of mine who grew up the only moslem family in a wasp town in alabama, you should here her on racism...
Oh, on the subject of rural outside the US, did I mention I was born in reasonably rural missouri and have spent much time there.
A city like NYC has its drawbacks, yes. But it's advantages are manifold. In the city you can be gauranteed there will people there yu like, that there'll be a good school if your kids can get in, that you and your kids will gain a greater appreciation for the world at large and for other people than you can in a rural setting. SUre it aint perfect, but it's pretty damn good.
oh btw, to counter what you said, I have all of NYC at my fingertips without driving (and with the price of gas how it is, that's quite nice). I live 500 feet from the CO for my dsl connection, I have cheap cabl. I have 4 supermarkets, 3 theatres, 3 movie theatres, and about 70 restaurants within easy walking distance of my house. My neighborhood has very little crime (and NYC btw has a very low crime-per-capita rate, lower than many subburbs), and 90% of the stuff in my neghobrhood is open very late, with a large smattering of stuff 24/7.
(on an amusing sidenote, the word check for/. was "perfect":-p)
you're quite right, but it's not true of the independant theatres, only the big corporate ones. I have 2 theatres in easy walking distance from my house (and yes, I live in the city).
In the neighborhood we have a 12 theatre UA multiplex and a 2 theatre indie duplex. The UA is as bad as you say (probably worse, it's 10.00 for a ticket, drinks are as you say about 4-5 bucks, etc, people tend o be loud and obnoxious in the theatre, and there are tons of commercials etc before the movie).
The duplex is 6.00 for students and seniors to get in, 4.00 for kids under 12, and 7.50 for everyone else, has only slightly overpriced drinks (1.75) plus brownies, coffee, tea, etc. They only show one preview before the main movie and no ads. Also the people who go there tend to be quiter and more happy to watch the movie without annoying people. The tradeoff is a slightly smaller screen, but it's very much worth it. They usually show at any given time one indie film and one mainstream film.
If you find the monster multiplexes as irritating and overpriced as I do, go find the indie theatre nearest to your house and go there (and if you live in the city there's plenty of 'em).

wouldnt that argument that you're using also apply though if he were taping the show or using a PVR?

Do you know how much work it takes to get a pilot's license? Or instrument rated? Time and $$$$.
wouldnt rich old men have both of those?

This ain't rocket science.
turbines, resistant materials, big engines and sealed eviroments... sounds like it could be...
damn, not sure if it's worse that I broke out laughing at that and scared my roomate or that I read it without even thinking about it (scaring me :-P).
good stuff!
