Chances are - yes. The bits in linux designed to keep it working are of the same idea as in MS software, and whilst it would be difficult to make them BSOD it would be quite possible to roll out an incompatible patch and knock out the networking.
I was just thinking the same thing. This isn't Microsoft that ballsed it up, nor is it inherently the fault of DWP. Chances are it's an underpaid sysadmin somewhere who hit the wrong checkbox when rolling out the patch.
I had the same thought - the BitTorrent ideal is that lots of people share the same file. The chances of readerships for blogs with videos (mainly ones read rarely) neing large enough for this to work is slim to none. Especially since the chances of everybody being online at once are even more remote.
It takes me about 30 seconds to build an expression on my palmtop which allows me to find the nth root of any number. Does this get me bonus points for not only taking very little time, but also for saving me potentially a whole minute in my future life where I may have to perform this calculation?
I lament that people need to make this comparison in any article mentioning work in foreign nations.
Personally, I don't care where my goods come from as long as they are quality and do the task they're supposed to. Apple is an excellent example of this (Yes, I prefer PCs. But Apple hardware and software does what it is supposed to do and does it well).
I'm in the UK, so it can't be excessive patriotism. I just know that Apple works.
I'm with you on this. Even though I'm only at 6th form, I've found that it's possible to work solidly as long as you have a significant break. It's even easier to work if you take advantage of non-timetabled periods in the day to just idle through background work or to relax.
Out of 9 current machines in my house - the AMDs have never burnt out. I've had 3 Intels fall over, but the AMDs have never gone and I've got a feeling that even the old ones in the loft would work perfectly if I dropped them into a testing mobo.
Google isn't chewing their bandwidth though. Apart from the initial index and crawling (which can be turned off by a simple robots.txt) everything comes from Google's own cache unless you actually click to view the image, in which case it is displayed as you would see it anyway. There's no hotlinking going on.
In a twist from the norm, it's the end of the day and I'm running down from caffeine.
Apologies for missing that one, my bad.

Can't be more worrying than the theater I work in for AmDram productions. We don't actually know what's holding the procenium arch up - it's counterbalancing the backcloth via two wooden beams and we have a fair amount of lights hung from it (not to mention 3 curtains from aforementioned beams), but nothing is actually supporting it.
I'm sure there can be more uses found for this in clubs than just making PCs looks cool. Decks? Colour code your records (on the centre, not the track info) so you can find them in the dark?
Slashdot Mirror
I'm the same. I use P2P to sample an artist, then if I like them I'll buy the album (even if i've already got all the tracks on it)
difficult to make them BSOD as in they don't actually go blue... not get the kernel to fall over.
Good point showing how easy it is though.

User friendliness.
That exact reason in fact :D
I hear they used blue-screen technology to film that one.
People who buy came consoles suddenly feel an irrational need to put new bits of hardware in and install 3rd party software.
Per.. perso... personal computer?
Just buy your local PC store's Family Friendly Box with Free Internet and achieve the same effect.

God bless technology.

Consistent at 96kbps 'Radio Quality'?
All my media (MP3s of CDs I own before you ask) is at 320kbps, and I'd like to keep it that way.

And?
It never said that a computer was a requirement. Copiers could do this with very limited processing power even in the 1980s
I very much doubt my nice old BJ-10ex does this.
I was just about to make the same comment. Maybe they could have The Even More Definitive Guide to MySQL?
Elastic-trickery? Sounds like you could use it for lots of stuff.
I think we're fairly safe to be honest. It hasn't fallen down so far despite having no physical connections to the rest of the building.

I want to see how they put down lane markers.
