We should be attracting aliens by producing a stable intergalactic fleet of killer robot ships. They will want to trade with us if we have heavy firepower. It's a status thing, really.
Did they "demand" or "request" the restart? Both are claimed in TFSummary, and being from outside the EU I'm ignorant of which body is able to demand this kind of thing...
I've done quite a bit of work in SVG under Inkscape and I must say that I think the format is wonderful. Whether it's appropriate as a native icon format or not is pretty much a matter of choice, but it's *great* for designing them.
Interesting idea. However, try placing your cursor in a corner and zooming WAY out. Like out to the point where nothing is on screen. Now, move your mouse elsewhere and zoom back in to find whatever you were looking at.
Yup. Apparently it's that easy to lose your data. I really hope that they cap the zoom-out function, assuming this is what the interface is really like.
I recently replayed SMB3 from start to finish on my NES console. If you get enough baddies onto the screen at once, things very obviously start to choke.
Once I've finished with the connector transplant, I just may give this a shot...
It's the same as in hospitals (in Ontario, Canada at least). It was determined that cell phones *might* interfere with important equipment. Failure of important equipment in hospitals and airplanes can lead to bad things, and were thus banned altogether.
In fact, cellphones generate VERY little interference for hospital equipment. I've read that they're used all the time in some Asian hospitals by patients, doctors and everybody in between.
This is a classic example of the fire alarm principle: alarms are too sensitive because the PITA of a false alarm is much less costly than not alarming when there's a real fire.
As we realize that cell phones are pretty much harmless from an interference perspective, they're being phased in due to customer demand.

You must be American.

This happened to me the other day, too. I think they somehow got a hold of http://http//anything
I'm not from the UK, but apparently they did.
"Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire" my ass...
So am I free to say and do anything(talking to another on IM that is) without it ever coming back to haunt me?
You are if you use an off-the-record plugin.

Hey, he said it
Does anybody know if this is covered by their previously mentioned zero dead pixel policy?
Pfft! Only 10 gigabytes? I can write an infinite amount of info to /dev/null and not read it...
You immediately made me think of this :P.

using SVG icons for no real reason which look ... crap when you actually use them (@ 16x16 or 32x32 ... as they just don't scale properly
Umm... you know that the `S' in SVG stands for scalable, right?

...no.
We've gone too far!
Please also stop thinking that North America = USA.
My distro *is* your distro!! How can it be both "superior" and "pathetic"?
I wonder if this will throw his brain into an infinite loop or something...

I thought we where years away from having to defend ourselves against the machines...

This is about the same parallel as "Don't take candy from strangers."
What do you mean by, "Don't"?
You call that art?

Man, you have a wierd phallic fetish going on there.
Dude... maybe the poster is, you know, a girl...
Everyone wants a Friday or Saturday birthday.
Simple, then. We simply design a calendar whereby everybody's birthday is on a Friday or Saturday.
which should end the argument on whether the Live CD operating system should focus on small footprint, or greater support for external applications.
Not likely. It'll just mean that each camp will have a disc that suits them.
There is a modest amount of anecdotal evidence that a "modest amount of anecdotal evidence" means pretty much jack shit.
Was that a French game based on the Death Star attack?
