Of course, some examples are not the best of the best, and some others don't hold up at all.
Still, I hate the extended (ab)use of 'sexy' with a passion. It devaluates the concept of sexyness, and does so in what I consider is an unnecesary way. There are plenty of other words to say that electronic devices are neat.
That, and it contributes to the survival of the geek-who-has-no-sex-life image in the real world. You know, the place where a sexy electronic device has to be a vibrator to make sense at all. Not that there's anything wrong with them...
Youre right, but not in this world. In this world, both enterprises and the majority of individual users just have to have what they think is the best of the best, and that, for the general public, happens to be the latest.
So Microsoft is guilty of bloating its apps, indeed, but it is at the same time guilty of feature hyping. Why? Because they keep releasing new versions! They dont go from Word 8 to Word 8.1, they go from 2000 to XP to 2003.
They are playing the game: they are making users think that all their software is a breakthrough. They are guilty.
I use a non-standard resolution for my CRT (1400x1050 on a Samsung 750s) that tops at just under 60hz.
I actually find it strangely soothing, to tell you the truth, and have never had headaches or vision problems.
When someone else comes along, though, it's a different story altogether; some people can't use it for longer than ten minutes or so before backing away horrified.
I prefer the following (from a post of mine at the linked gentoo forums thread).
If you've given shell access to untrusty people and just want to be on the safe side, adding the following to your/etc/security/limits.conf (if it's not already there) should do the trick:
@remote hard nproc 10
Then, of course, add shell accounts to the 'remote' group. It worked for me.
I *know* this is offtopic, but as far as I know the concept of the Flawed Hero comes from the greek tragedy, and I wouldn't ever call it characteristic of contemporary literature, which is more fond of anti-heroes methinks.
Microsoft said that it has published the specification for MHT and that it offers a free software development toolkit for the digital rights management system, enabling anyone to develop a new software application to decode and read the files using another browser
Well this was indeed funny, but kept me wondering about this thoroughly off-topic detail: english is not my first language, and so I don't know why you tend to mispell "article" so often. Is this a running joke I'm not aware of? Or is it really an all too common mistake because of its pronunciation?
Hoping that this doesn't ruin my scarce karma. I don't mean to insult anyone... or myself if this is about something I'm not getting : )
Sometimes you don't want to do a lot of cool "stuff," in fact most of the time I just want to resize my image and fiddle with the colour depth to make thumbnails for my webpage...
I'm not questioning your future probable choice of Krita, but for resizing, adjusting color en masse and other things related, perhaps a script that made good use of ImageMagick could do the trick. Just a suggestion.
I thought I had made it clear that I wasn't sure about what I was saying, my intention was only to point what I thought were similarities between the approaches. My english isn't that good, I guess I failed. Your aggresion seems out of place, but I'm sorry if I spread(ed?) misinformation.
With traditional volumes, storage is fragmented and stranded. With ZFS' common storage pool, there are no partitions to manage. The combined I/O bandwidth of all of the devices in a storage pool is always available to each file system.
Until now it does sound just like raid, but:
When one copy is damaged, ZFS detects it via the checksum and uses another copy to repair it.
No competing product can do this. Traditional mirrors can only handle total failure of a device. They don't have checksums, so they have no idea when a device returns bad data. So even though mirrors replicate data, they have no way to take advantage of it.
I guess I just don't get it; I know they are talking about logical corruption and not a physical failure, but this is kind of like raid with somethink like SMART, or isn't it?
And what kinds of corruption can there be? Journaling filesystems already work well for write errors and such, or so I thought.
I know the architecture seems innovative and different (at least for me), but is there really new functionality?
Sorry if I seem ignorant this time. I don't know if I was able to get my point across; the things this filesystem does, wouldn't they be better left on a different layer?
Well, having received all the time under the spotlight Google has, with it going public and all, I'd be surprised if this kind of aggressive propaganda eventually doesn't result in a aggressive -although segmentary- outcry against the company.
A group could think the strong focused targetting implied in the ad is racist; or even that leaving people thinking makes google responsible for a climb in the number of accidents on the road : )
After all, it seems logical: The anti-google movement has to become strong, eventually.
Damn, now I know I'm alienated; I really had to stop there for a couple of seconds before realizing you were not talking about notepad.exe.
The engineers answer? Epoxy glue in the USB slots. Not the best choice.
Perhaps not the most stylish, but what about circumventing OS security with a boot disk of choice? If the machines have cdroms... Epoxy doesn't sound that bad after all. If an employee is really willing to fuck you and retrieve undue information, perhaps physical backup enforcement like this is just what you should look into.
I find intriguing that there aren't any transcripts of the talks next to the videos and the papers? It would be nice to have a transcript next to the paper the talk tries to explain; perhaps they don't have enough man power to do this?

More computing power for me, I say!
"Pescadero" the codename for 0.1, doesn't mean 'fisherman' in spanish. That would be "Pescador".
"Pescadero" is the person that sells the fish.

Yes, and while you're at it, also catch the entry for 'irony' as that is probably more like it :)
Sarcasm and irony are similar, but not quite the same thing.

I find using ctrl+pageup/pagedown more comfortable and easier; two mod keys are too much for me, given my lack of coordination.
Then sorry about the comment, I didn't want to be offensive : ).
It's just something that I find intriguing.

You're right, and I wasn't dismissing Krite as trivial or not adequate in a range of settings.
And I don't, as I'm ignorant of perl : )
Perhaps something in cpan?
Have fun with that,
perseguidor.
