Did not 'Scotty' wear a 'red shirt' uniform in the original series?
He not only, had a name, but lasted a long time in the 'Trek World'.
Yes, but the unlucky ones were the security people in the away-teams. "Spock and I will descend to the planet surface, Bones as well as two security crewmembers in red shirts!".
TFA was about a person calling another person homosexual, hence the remark "You're gay, I'm doomed" was fully on-topic. Redundant probably, but fully on-topic. Political correctness has struck again, zOMG he mentioned the g-word, let's mod him down!!1!

I do like having my bookmarks available from any computer I happen to find myself on and I'm aware that there are other ways to achieve this, but I'm not sure how or what the best methods are. When I say "hapless *nix user," I mean I can get by in Debian just fine, but I tend to keep things pretty simple... no advanced server set-up, no tricky configurations. I no longer use GNOME, preferring a simpler Openbox set-up. I've gotten pretty good at navigating around my system in the terminal, using mc for file management, even writing a few very basic bash scripts, but networking especially remains something of a black art to me. I'm not a programmer or web designer and have no desire to be; I use Debian because I like the philosophy of OSS.
So what are the easier more-or-less "point-and-drool" methods of achieving remote access to one's bookmarks, without having to mess with SAMBA or NFS or similar complexities? Do they exist? If cloud services like Delicious and Magnolia are inherently risky and soul-suckingly closed, are there any safer, more open alternatives that are as easy to use?
To have your OWN bookmarks at hand wherever you are, try Foxmarks: it syncs your bookmarks from and to every Firefox-machine you work with and have the Foxmarks-extension installed, AND the bookmarks are available online. (they also have a Safari and IE option, still pretty beta)
Just get a free account, but don't forget to export your bookmarks just in case, because, well, shit tends to happen.
In English, the term "myriad" is most commonly used to refer to a large number of an unspecified size. In this way "myriad" can be used as either a noun or an adjective. Thus both "there are myriad people outside" and "there is a myriad of people outside" are correct.
DVD-player, TV, cable-box and Wii are on the same energy block, one master-plug in the wall-socket enables/disables all of it. It's unplugged 8 hours per day, and several hours per day: I guess it's the best/cheapest solution .
You mean Africa, with 20% of population infected with AIDS.
Taiwan has 0.1% of population infected.
Untrue, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/05/AR2006040502517.html False positives play a rather big part in this money-hugging world. Same goes for the AV-world, that recently has been shaken up by the news from Intego that a critical worm has appeared for OS X. They're all in it for the money. The end-user is not important, they are just expected to pay.
Is EXT4 backwards compatible with EXT2 and EXT3? (3 is backwards compatible with 2) I'm asking because there are only Windows drivers for EXT2, and this could cause problems for those that dual boot.
Well, it'll probably be be limited to the ext3-options (like ext3 compared to ext2), but it'll work. But I'd wait for a couple of months before implementing it, you never know.
This isn't news at all. We've known high doses of stimulants cause hallucinations for decades. I fail to see what is new about this study.
The 'news' value is, that the symptoms start at 3 cups of coffee. I was quite startled to read that! That's my hourly amount from 0630 to 1000, then I switch to a different drink (mild tea). Not healthy, I know, but hallucinations?! No way.
A new one can be purchased for about $500 bucks these days. It simply isn't worth cleaning up a major virus infection or re-installing the OS and applications. The billable time alone would exceed the cost of the machine! Basically, computers are one-trick ponies. Once they get infected, physically throw it away and buy a new one. We live in a disposable society and computer usage is no longer an exception that it once was.
Mostly it's used as a lousy excuse to buy a whole new machine, while a new disk would have 'solved' the problem as effective. Speaking for myself I find that rather objectionable.
The article's illustration includes an astonishing statement regarding the two J-2X engines: "NASA says the extra engine doubles the chance that something will fail". Wow! Applying that logic would really simplify most of our jobs. RAID? Don't waste your money; all those extra disks just increase the odds of failure.
Well, RAID0 _does_ have some perks. And I think that these engines' work makes them dependable on each other. Even a RAID1-system has quirks.
Comparing this particular situation to a RAID-setup doesn't work, imho.

Oh hell YEAH, this IS the appropriate situation to use that word!
I think you're gay.
I'm doomed.

Fully on-topic, I tell you.
You've been a wonderful crowd. Thanks

|| for a date with Inara Serra / Morena Baccarin? Mmm.. don't know who THEY are; I just wanna marry Kirstie Allie! OK then; just a "date".
Oh no you don't: http://scrapetv.com/News/News%20Pages/Entertainment/Images/kirstie-alley-skinny-and-fat.jpg .
I like engine girl. :)
A LOT of married slashdotters do :) Because she knows stuff about things, and things about stuff.
I for one would not be surprised to see China and the likes implement IPv6.
We write 22-7 in the Netherlands, pi isn't close to 15.
Five more minutes, but noooo, my mother had to give birth on the 21st. *sigh* I would've been a Leo as well, instead of Cancer.
Oh fiddlesticks!!
There's nothing inherently bad about gaming, so long as you remember to exercise. But most Americans are a bunch of fatasses so they won't do that.

Actually, I looked it up after your post because it sounded like bullshit.
Well done :) and thank you.
It wasn't broad. A Unix is a certified Unix. Anything else isn't. Hence GNU--"GNU's Not Unix".
Oh, this was one of those situations where posting on slashdot was easier than googleing, wasn't it?

Are any of the free BSDs or Linux variants certified Unixes?
(Honest question, I don't know.)
Well, there's the POSIX-compliancy that "sort of" might answer your question. (Your question was a kind of broad, imho) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX and more here http://www.unix.org/version3/
Enjoy! :)
Is that a joke? Antivirus XP 2009 is a particularly nasty piece of malware.
I wouldn't accept anything from anyone who had that, regardless of whatever esoteric operating system I had.
WHOOOOOOOSH!!
Wasn't that in a movie with a robot?
sigh Robocop.
Motiondetection, bionic arms, waving aluminium foil: wouldn't that scare the animals away?
From Wikipedia:
From the Oxford Dictionary http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/myriad?view=uk :
/mirid/ literary
myriad
â noun 1 (also myriads) an indefinitely great number. 2 (in classical times) a unit of ten thousand.
â adjective innumerable.
â" ORIGIN Greek murias, from murioi â10,000â(TM).
I'd trust the Oxford over Wikipedia on this one.

Computers are cheap.
A new one can be purchased for about $500 bucks these days. It simply isn't worth cleaning up a major virus infection or re-installing the OS and applications. The billable time alone would exceed the cost of the machine! Basically, computers are one-trick ponies. Once they get infected, physically throw it away and buy a new one.
