Sometimes people just decide they don't want a particular thing and nothing will change their mind. My mother was like that when she asked me to set her up with a new phone. I put her SIM in my old motorla and she hated it. Why are the menus different? Why is the SMS interface different? So I put the SIM back in her Nokia and left it at that.
My wife bought a macbook recently but she keeps going back to her HP laptop running ubuntu for some things because she is used to it and knows how to find stuff.
Regardless of the OS, for "control panel" stuff it has to be me or my 14 year old nephew. Nobody else in the family can cope.
Yeah that would be it. I recall that some people were suggesting during the ext4 articles of a couple of years ago that you have to use fsync() on ext4 to be sure your data is on disk.
Also mains power in WA runs at 260 volts for historical reasons (the rest of the country uses 240) so back in the days before switchmode power supplies you really did have to adapt your equipment to use it elsewhere. Even now they have special lightbulb product lines in Western Australia,
Also you can be looking for work while working for free with the old job. Its easier to get a job while you are employed. You don't get taken advantage of as much that way.
I wish Linux prefetched stuff. If I open program 1, and ALWAYS open program 2 after, why shouldn't the OS preload program 2?
Wasn't this the issue with ext4? It keeps a huge cache in memory so if you write to a file and don't ffush it correctly you can lose your content on power down.
(off to put fflushes before close in all my programs)
I believe the sensor is 3M Material 5559, which is a kind of humidity indicator. Wiki says, that these are usually made from Cobalt(II) chloride, which in pure form turns from blue to red powder by absorbing water.
Illume is the standard window manager for the openmoko SHR distribution. All the standard applications are written using the enlightenment toolkit. One advantage of enlightenment for phones and other small devices is that the toolkit has finger driven operation built into it. The standard list components can be scrolled by dragging a finger (or mouse or stylus) along them for example. Text components can be scrolled the same way.
TV networks pay so much for the rights that they have to maximize return, even is this results in catering to the masses who want to see only those things. Case in point is the channel 9 coverage in Australia which is really just trolling for viewers, and the more offensive they make it the better.
When managing a resource such as CPU time, memory use or network traffic there should be ways to transparently mediate between users. You set some simple rules like "everybody gets a go" or "each host gets a slice of the network" and write some simple software to implement it.
Okay so thats traffic shaping and I know its not as simple as I make it out to be but the approach used here seems crude and a waste of man hours.
I am running Illume (a version of Enlightenment) on my openmoko and developing applications for it. It took me a while to get going because many of the example applications are out of date and the APIs change quite fast. It doesn't help that documentation is either hard to find or non-existent. The toolkits are vulnerable to buffer overflows as well. Sometimes it is best just to stay off the heap while Elementary is starting up.
But once I got a few applications working I found enlightenment quite conducive to rapid application development.
The famine was an obvious and inevitable consequence.
Now it is.
Note, for reference, that when Stalin did exactly the same thing in the '30s, he got the same result - famine and the deaths of rather more than 10,000,000 of his own people.
Which suggests that the Chinese government had more than enough information to predict that repeating Stalin's actions might, just possibly, cause the deaths of tens of millions of Chinese.
Sure, but communist ideology was rampant. You could say the same thing about anti communist crackdowns in western countries in the 1950s. There was plenty of evidence that locking people up for belonging to certain political parties was a bad idea but we went ahead anyway. The consequences were not obvious to everybody because they were blinded by ideology, as sure as we are we even now.
Actually I think cameras would be much cheaper than these windows, but nowhere as cool. Despite my sig there is an element of "No Buck Rogers, no bucks" in this.
But how would a company know the race of the people working for them? I would certainly refuse to answer a question about my race. It should have nothing to do with my work. What if a light skinned person identified themselves as African American? Should an instrument be used to measure their albedo? Why should anybody care? I don't.

If this happen to non-professional unionised workers they would get the guys flight out of the country black banned by other unions.

Either that or the phone is pregnant.
Why? How is buying something in a bar different from buying it off (say) craigslist?
A guy I work with has one of these he bought in China. If it has a removable battery and Java it might be a good thing to own.
More likely the car drives at the lowest legal speed unless its speed limit database is up to date.

Maybe /. should outsource their search to Yahoo!

While I agree generally with your post I just want to point out that the difference between "dissident" and "terrorist" can be one of perspective.
Certainly.

Why don't you make like a tree and get out of here.
But whoever hated them enough to install the timebomb would obviously have sabotaged the backups. Maybe that was what the delay was all about.

If Phobos has ice under its surface the next 50 years will be very interesting. A mission to mars orbit with ISRU would suddenly look feasible.
