Only once. What he did repeatedly do is fail to remove "sudo" from commands he was trying to run after noting that sudo didn't exist, and he was already root.
Also, this process was repeated a bunch of times:
cd somewhere wget & untar archive perl SOMETHING error: 'perl' command not found
Yea, because redownloading your.pl 50 times is going to magically make perl exist in $PATH
I absolutely love it when I see someone act like an ass behind me, pass me, and then immediately get stuck behind someone/something else and drop back even further behind.
My reactions are nowhere near as good as yours, but certainly higher than 500ms when I'm not half dead from work or what have you.
As well, I'm cool under that kind of pressure. The jitters and butterflies come after. I'd rather they not be there at all, but I'll take it the way it is over "OHMAHGAWD"!
I especially love those who ignore (or even worse, get pissed) by brake-taps to tell them to back off. Sometimes I have to actually USE the brake and force them to react. They usually back off then, but only for a little while.
On my CVT, there is no fussing with these shift points. The belting adjusts to the optimal ratio based on input power and resistance. If I step on it, it smoothly accelerates my while changing the ratio. If I start going down a hill, it smoothly adjusts the ratio so that my speed stays constant without me changing my throttle input at all.
Driving with a proper CVT is certainly a new experience. I'd never go back if I have the choice.
Once upon a time, my being used to an onramp coupled with poor visibility and signage resulted in my spinning out on a highway onramp in California.
It was one of the loop styles... except for some reason there was a second loop that was never there before! I came out of the first loop and was up to highway speed to merge... and here comes a SECOND loop! Shit!
I managed to stay on the road during the spin and when I finally touched the guardrail, I was already almost completely stopped (A penny sized scrape in my bumper paint was all I walked away with).
It happened to fast for me to think it through, but the racing game driving that I had done in the past must have programmed me enough that I did was you're supposed to do naturally (IE, brake as much as possible before entering turn, turn wheels in direction of spin, not panicking, getting the fuck out of the way once back under control, etc)
Either that, or I was very lucky. I've not been in a single incident since, and it's been 6 years since then. I was a fairly new driver back then (less than 1.5 years driving). In case this matters, the car was a poor/moderately maintained 1991 Nissan 240SX.

On that note, does anyone have any recommendations for a distro to flop down to test this? I feel a bit lazy to go about doing the hard work at the moment. I did use it, YEARS ago - and I just cannot remember what distro I saw it on!
I'd rather not use PC Linux OS myself - in such case I'd rather use Debian or Ubuntu directly.
Well, the issue isn't so much that there's more pressure than normal - it's that the existing part couldn't cope with the pressure. Reinforcing it shouldn't pose any issues as long as the pressure level was normal to begin with.
The flashpoint doesn't have to involve us. Just like it didn't in WWI and WWII. AFAIK Russia was also not initially involved either (in WWII at least. I admit I don't know much about WWI)
Well, the formula (assuming it's correct. this is all theory:P) is of the form y=e^x, which will never cross that boundary, even if you accept the impossibility of infinite mass. Remember, that form never touches or crosses the boundary line (which would be c here) - just approaches infinity close to it.
Er... you should go take a look at the equation again. It's not a wave function. Mass approaches infinity (an "impossibility") as you approach c. It's of the form y=e^x.
Impossible to see from that angle. It looks level to me.
However, from my many experiences as a passenger AND in a simulator, you don't nose down unless you're too high on your glidescope or you've fucked up on your speed. If you're where you should be you shouldn't need to nose down below horizontal.
How many hours, and what planes? Pilot or FO? Does the pilot even let you touch the stick yet?
(and if you fly those little bush planes... that has almost no bearing on a heavy.)

Note he doesn't do anything with it. Perhaps he was testing bandwidth (for some stupid reason?)
I think the funniest part was repeatedly trying to run perl... and responding to failures by redownloading the scripts he wants perl to execute.

Er... make that "certainly lower than..." - stupid brain. "Half dead from work" indeed.
Same here :)

Sigh.
Just curious. Have you driven a CVT yet? Neat shit. I'd imagine than an all-electric would drive this way.
Control that is not needed.

My car doesn't even have gears. CVTs don't behave like either.
I'd back this up with some personal experience.

You completely and utterly failed to even approach the rhyme or meter of that verse. Yikes!
Look at the description again.
0.16.999.xxx -is- 17. It will roll over to 0.17 once it's "stable" (think kde4.1 vs kde4.2)
Huh, that's odd:

Erm...
I've had the calculator and weather widgets sitting on my folder-view desktop since Slackware 13 came out.
Am I doing something weird then?
And KDE is now designed for over-componentisation, over-information and over-configuration.
This is the very reason some of us prefer it over Fischer-Price interfaces like Gnome.

Happy now?
Do note this was back in 2004. Since then, at least 23 other patients have benefit from his pioneering!
Not only is his pair cast iron, but they've helped others live as well! Shit!

That's udev's configuration (done by your distro maintainers) and has nothing to do with anything else.
So, you mean that there's nobody who would get pissed off over it (or just see a use for it) and push the ball down the hill?
The region already isn't very stable. Shake it up a bit and we may not like what falls out of the tree. That's all I'm saying.
