Still incorrect. Not greek. There was Angle language and the Saxon language, which merged, and were influenced by the then-insignificant Roman presence. After the Norman/Frankish invasion the language changed radically, becoming more latinised.
Before jumping into space, I'd concentrate on the whole, you know, like... third world deal - poverty, starvation, destitution, banditism, diseases that doesn't exist elsewhere anymore, steam engines, mud huts...
What's next? Rhodesia (*cough* Zimbabwe) building a Mars colony?
It's also comletely unusable. It uses X11, doesn't look anything like an OS X application, doesn't behave like an OS X application, takes almost a minute to start up on a 2005 mac.
But that all would be nothing if it... you know... actually worked with alternate keyboard layouts as used in OS X. However because this is an X11 app, I cannot use russian. That sucks. Basically, OOo is not viable on OS X IMO until a native aqua port.
Incorrect. DRM is _intrusive_ and limiting - even well-implemented DRM like that provided iTMS. Sure, it plays fine/now/. What happens in 10 years? I have books printed in the beginning of 1900s - and I can still prop-them-open and read, without needing some weird limiting technology to unlock the content. Same goes for tapes, CDs, LPs.
Will I be able to read the ebook or listen to the music in 10 years? Likely no - which btw is perfectly fine with the content providers, who don't think you own anything anyhow and thus are glad to "lend" as many crippled copies as you like/need.
Hence, it's real paper for me for books (or PDF/PS/DJvu) and AllOfMp3 for my music needs (can't find russian music elsewhere anyhow).
Then again, this is Ilfak of IDA fame here we're talking about. Putting it lightly the guy is a sheer genius as is. I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't to get a letter from Microsoft HR, if he hasn't already at some point in his life...
See, if your technical skills extended beyond the daily running of cables for your IT department, you would realize that you're being a ass (and a dumb one at that) for somehow trying to assert that all they've done is drawn a penguin - did you notice the kernel messages, or busybox running, or what?
Welcome to the global economy, Jon. This means I can to the Mitsuwa in Arlington Heights and buy japanese goods. I've had hot canned tea, sweetened tea, sweetened tea with milk - canned tea insofar has been pretty good (but again, it's hard to fubar tea). I've seen no sweetened coffee insofar.
If I recall correctly, some years back they had a japanese PS2 on sale for Astro-prices, before it came out in the US.
I used to be a longtime GNOME, on the flawed premises that it seemed like a clean design. Then I got an OS X laptop and I realized that no, GNOME doesn't even have that going for it. I've stuck it out with GNOME for a long time, but I'm dropping it since with every new release, there were actually/less/ features and more annoying ones (hello spatial nautilus). I won't even go into the whole GNOME Windows' Registry -alike. Who the hell thought/that/ was a good idea.
Btw, I can't stomach KDE either, but for a different reason. (Hello? Can we adhere to the same UI guidelines, or ensure there aren't outright mismaintained/crashing programs in purportedly stable releases?).
So, looks like I'm going back to my roots - this means FVWM2, or likelier... WindowMaker.
Personally I'm not a fan of canned japanese coffee. The stuff I tried was straight coffee with no sugar. Cold coffee with no sugar tastes pretty asstastic.
I'm probably going to get modded down for this, being Slashdot and all. Keep in mind that I primarily use Linux, so don't take me for some kind of kiss-ass Microsoft fan.
I don't understand why there is a running sentiment that Bill is a mediocre coder. If he was a mediocre coder then he wouldn't have resigned from a managerial position to become Chief Software Architect.
But hey, Windows has bugs and is largely unpopular with/., hence Bill surely couldn't code his way out of a paper bag. Don't know about Bill, but David Cutler (RSX-11M, VMS, NT) is probably a better programmer than most of Slashdot combined. Since geniuses generally avoid idiots, I'd gather Gates is worth more than a million of Slashdot cable-running fanbois combined.
It wouldn't be sensational enough otherwise./OT If you were going for a symbolic "Nazi anniversary" date, wouldn't you want to pick a...er rounder number anyhow? This is about as good as saying "OMGeee... in two months it will be such-and-such anniversary. Symbolic!" What a joke...
I was with you until the start-up comment. Generally speaking, it sounds right, but at least in my practice hasn't been so. From the day I started out as an intern up until now, when I have become a crucial team member and the go-to Linux guy, well... I get the same mediocre pay. I sure learned my lesson though - never become sold on empty promises (where's my 33% promised raise?), or start working without a contract you have read over, understood and signed.
Otherwise you end up in a position like me - overworked, overstressed, unappreciated, underpaid, the guy everyone dumps little shit on because they don't know *nix, scapegoat, on mediocre pay with no benefits, and getting screwed out of taxes (being a consultant blows). I also somehow ended up with three layers of management. That's uh... great.
Webmail will never replaced a normal MUA. Essentially, until I found a decent up-to-date MUA (Being an ELM user hating PIne and Mutt), I used gmail. Now that I have Mail.App, I just use Gmail as a safety repository for deleted mail.
Damn, I'm envious. You've got a *pentium* based MCA machines, Plus IBMs are built like tanks. Back in the days (1999 actually, which really wasn't ``the days'', I was just broke =P), I somehow forced an old version of slack with the latest patched-du-jour kernel (MCA wasn't in main tree yet) onto a 2.9MB RAM 60 MB ESDI PS/2 m55 (386).

Nice troll Rockway. Too bad it's complete bullshit.

Script above is not a /bin/bash script, you tool.
I sense you're trying to imply that my honest opinion on this "tech matter" is somehow off topic and inappropriate in this forum.

Actually you've a pretty good idea there, but this reinforces even more my statement that DRM is limiting and intrusive.
Tormozish?

I have no problem *landing*, I just don't know when to quit =(. /getting walked all over for shit pay when I'm worth at least 2x what I get.

Nevermind that '9x and NT are completely different code bases, but hey, keep talking like you know what you're talking about - after all, this is /.
Yup, and "shahmaty", where h is aspirated and y has the same one as the chinese i in "si", is the name of the game in Russian.
No shit. Now go back to my post and find the sentence where I claim otherwise.
