I've driven from Austin,TX to Madison,WI a few times (~1250 miles) in cars 25-33mpg avg, and what you claim sounds like BS dude. I stopped more than a couple times, to be safe whenever I got to a half tank and stretch.
My 1250 mile trip was 20 hour drive strait though, your claim would be closer to 28 hours non stop.... Really?
The only car off the top of my head that has 800 miles per tank is a newer Audi A8 diesel, and at $100k, a rare car for consumers. Most vehicles on the road I would say are under 400 miles per tank.
What you posted about his being the 4th post struck me as wrong, given how far it was down the page. I'm bored, so I took a moment to look at how many posts have an earlier timestamp than the one you are slamming (at least 8), and 2 make dismissive statements about hardware, including the first comment of article at 8:12, and another at 8:19 seemingly dismissing hardware as a possibility.
So your snide comment is not based in fact. It's like you are reading a different page. Maybe you need glasses. An attitude adjustment, for sure.
Perhaps my comment was rude, and 'a bit over the top' as you say. Microsoft's VP of Operating Systems is probably not a moron.
My initial reaction to Belfiore seeming to downgrade a previous version of their flagship product by referring to it as a first gen Prius, and then extending the bad car analogy to try and sell us the new shiny pissed me off.
Comparing a previous version to an niche, ugly, low powered econobox (that is heavily government subsidized) to an electric car, made by an independent company and is decidedly not meant to be mass market cheap, nor aimed at the same demographic... Having the people in charge of these products make these statements gives me the impression the same brain trust that turned Windows 7 into Windows 8 is still running the show.
What car would he have made Windows 8 in that analogy?
.... Microsoft's Joe Belfiore pointed to the millions of customers still using Windows 7, and said the company wants to make their transition to Windows 10 much more comfortable than the unfamiliar leap to Windows 8 two years ago. "We want all these Windows 7 users to have the sentiment that yesterday they were driving a first-generation Prius, and now with Windows 10 it's like a Tesla."... nice car analogy, moron.
I've had similar experiences with EHR vendors requiring old, old versions. The lag time and impracticality of their limitations can be frustrating. One product I've worked on shares a parent company that was part of the Obamacare website roll-out (they wrote middleware). After spending some time working with the database on that product, I began to believe in the Infinite Monkey Theorem.
Ok, I am using SRWare Iron 8 (stripped chromium webkit build for win32) with this user agent string as it's same WebKit build as Safari 5 ---
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/534.10... I get SPORADIC errors trying to post comments... site works in IE8... gave up on FF until they multi-thread the UI
I'm sort of curious why the slashdot story summary is so annoyingly biased in it's phrasing - "FreeBSD rather ends up taking a wallop to Ubuntu Linux, but there are a few areas where FreeBSD 8 ran well", when the arguably flawed test suite shows NO SUCH THING!
The FreeBSD system has very comparable or better benchmarks on nearly every metric in the test, just click through TFA and see for yourself.
Tripe.
Besides the needless and counterproductive bias, the phrase X "rather ends up taking a wallop to" Y is clunky and sophomoric. Editors, get a life.
Well here one reason: strlen() relies on the input data being zero terminated.
The code: char foo[20] = "test string" would not have provided that, so the result would have been unknown (probably a large int) and the loop would have performed unexpectedly.
I think most people are capable of understanding the situation, but the politically motivated among us are willfully ignorant and deceptive in their arguments. If they were generally rebuked/shunned for their logical fallacies this would be a better place. Instead they are the most vocal -- and largely unchallenged.
Some of us appreciate the rationality around here, though. So thanks.
Also, love how the "enormously powerful supercomputer" descriptor made it onto the front page.
I just added a new eBay account last night, and when setting my user preferences I noticed two settings for targeted ads from ebay. I opted out of each option in one second.
Sorry to hear this is bothering multitudes of people --- but it is REALLY SIMPLE to disable.

Who are you trying to kid? Try looking for the recent quotes from the people that worked with Rather at the time he was preparing that bullshit report. He was an active participant and had editorial control. Enough time has past, stop deluding yourself!

I filtered out user, machine name, and full description of action (offender and long description of action taken). You get the gist, and you can repeat it yourself of course.
I think you missed the test archive password is 'a'. Using that password, I attempted to extract every file from the archive using 7zip. I have ESET NOD32 running in a test W2k3 Std VM.
Running version 2450 (20070810) of NOD32's virus database, it caught every file and removed content as it was being written to 7zip's temp folder. I then disabled the file system monitor, and tried to extract again. The resident memory scanner wouldn't let 7zip process any files either.

Wouldn't they be motivated to reach a cross-licensing agreement on the patents?
It would seem there would be mutual interest, but maybe I'm missing something?

This is a PEBKAC problem with eBay options.
There is always world race for food, resources, and wealth. There always will be. That type of life/death competition is a 'cold war', is it not?
"Show me one piece of evidence indicating that UN weapons inspectors dismantled ONE piece of weapons making technology between 1991 and 2003."
They couldn't find their ass with both hands. They had iraqi-made phosgene laying about for the janitor to find in the UN building. Last month.

They dismantled enough to hold onto a piece of those WMDs that "never existed".

Um, yeah. Hansen from NASA refused to release the algorithms he used, funded by public money.
The blogger reversed engineered them from the data. Hardly the open scientific process you are ascribing to it.
Also, NASA has very quietly updated the numbers, replacing the old ones without reference. No transparency there.
Try again, pollyanna.
