They liberate the farmer from the milking process (at least twice a day)
Absolutely. I spent the last four years in a dairy milking area, and it's incredible how the town has to run itself by the timetables of dairy farmers. Given the small margins made on milk here in Australia, most smaller farms (200 head, say) just can't afford extra labourers.
Apart from the odd broken fence, it's not that likely to happen, at least on the dairy farms I know. If the bull's in the same paddock as the cows, they've been dried off and they won't be milking.
And if a bull does get into the paddock, he's going to be way too busy to check out the dairy.
Speaking from experience, they also like to be able to delete stuff that could render them liable to a discrimination lawsuit--date of birth, marital status and so on that many people still seem to insist on including.
I should also point out that although the CFA staff are volunteers, they are quite well trained and professional in their approach to their jobs.
I know Warrnambool quite well, and I can say that the CFA there are definitely better than the volnteers firefighters of Springfield, although I can't really speak for the rest of the town...
The CFA will also routinely deal with incidents involving downed power lines--car accidents, storm damage and so on--and thus (as others have pointed out) need to be able to determine if a line is live or not.
Let's not forget that the acceleration of those cars will reduce the earth's speed in the first place. Assuming lossless energy transfer, the best you could hope for would be a brake (boom tish!) even result.
Or it makes them sound like they don't speak English as a first language.
I've seen this word many times, but the author nearly always comes from a non-English speaking background. I presume the equivalent term for 'software' in certain other languages has separate singular and plural forms which is mistakenly carried over into English.
Unfortunately, English has many native speakers who do their utmost to sound retarded, as you seem (my guess) to have done admirably.
No offence intended to people who may, in fact, be retarded, however you want to interpret that word.

Umm, if it's not a cow what species is it?
I, for one, thought the story referred to an old Apple OS. Thanks for the clarification.

Of course, wet dreams will still be a problem.
Nobody seems to have asked what the current rules are, especially on the ISS where crews have to deal without human contact for months at a time.
Exactly. Nobody who reads Slashdot comes close to functioning properly.
Makes you wonder... is Greece in the EU?
So they've copied a several thousand year old computer, software and hardware. Surely there's a lawsuit there somewhere.

Look honey, another person using flippancy to rescue their karma because they're not able to delete a post they're really, really going to regret.
That's funny, dear. Now come back to bed before I stick a gun to your head.
Plus they all used big words, correctly!
/.?
Is it possible we've got informed debate on
Nah... Funny mods don't count toward karma.
Which I find a bit annoying, because most of my most insightful comments come in the form of sarcasm.
Oh well. Nobody likes a karma whore.
It seems to my untrained eye that the developers only have to provide the source for the changes they distribute.
Given that there don't appear to be any publically available binaries yet, they're in compliance with the MPL.
I really hope that means you've never clicked on a link with the word 'goatse' in it. Because if you have...
So Linus has started to accept patches from Redmond?

Come on... for most people around here, an article summary is informative!

At least I have one.
Look at that! Your reply has as many letters as his UID has digits!
Wow, so /.ers know something after all!
Whoda thunkit?
Down here in Australia voters tend to go for whoever gives the upper-middle class more free stuff, and to hell with the poor.
And this is a country with proportional representation and in which voting is compulsory for all citizens eighteen years and above.
So Godwin was right, dammit!
