hah awesome. what i meant was allowing art to be destroyed through inaction. Sure, its more work than normal... but these are unique peices of art! i just tried to google a picture but couldnt find one. i think i may have to make some of my own.
In my hometown, we have a corporation called Hobart. Back in the day (1930s-1950s) they made steel houses. They were all one piece as the left the shop, and were set up on site. Theres still about 15 of them left. It was the first time we ever got international headlines. These were no trailer homes either... think two story three bedroom / kitchen / living room. The only problem is once you get a crappy owner they can start to rust, and then you have to side it. It should be illegal.
it will bring your system to a halut (mine at least).
Currently I've got a 2.8Ghz 512Mb ram, XP SP2.
I couldnt even get into my task manager, I got about 10 virtual memory errors. Then I rebooted and tried with the task manager open. Once the VM graph shot striaght up past 1GB, it stopped refreshing (4 seconds).
its when the 32 bit timestamp that is standarly used to store time gets too large, and overflows.
Modern computers use a standard 4 byte integer for this second count. This is 31 bits, storing a value of 231. The remaining bit is the sign. This means that when the second count reaches 2147483647, it will wrap to -2147483648.
The precise date of this occurrence is Tue Jan 19 03:14:07 2038. At this time, a machine prone to this bug will show the time Fri Dec 13 20:45:52 1901, hence it is possible that the media will call this The Friday 13th Bug.
How is the overall morale of the devlopment team as far as being able to kid around and have fun? One example I can think of is about:mozilla in mozilla or firefox. It is obviously a pun of some kind, or an inside joke.
I think it boils down to:
As the projects get bigger and more professional do you see a difference in the team's ability to "have fun" with the software, or is there more concern for the need to "act professional"?
Is all the feedback going to be negative? Everything has to start somewhere, and frankly I applaud the efforts of this guy to at least start enforcing a license that many companies do not take seriousley. If nothing else, it brings to light the face that many legit companies in fact do not care to honor the GPL, but benefit from the software that is covered by it.
This is an excerpt i found interesting from the wired article about CherryOS (OCT 2004): Kryeziu said CherryOS runs to 36,000 lines of code and was inspired by open-source Mac emulator PearPC, but is not in any way based on it.
"There's a big difference," he said. "They are way slow."
Yeah... way slow and identical to CherryOS(?)
FTA: Besides costing $200 and posting a $50,000 bond, the license requires a one-year apprenticeship to a licensed auctioneer, acting as a bid-caller in 12 auctions, attending an approved auction school, passing a written and oral exam. Failure to get a license could result in the seller being fined up to $1,000 and jailed for a maximum of 90 days.
and a school to become a licensed seller?
what if i go on a spree, and say, sell like 30 items that i've found in my basement over christmas break? does that constitute as someone who sells more than 'casually'?
thats a bit rediculous... i was worried about the people in michigan who had to pay $2500 for cigarettes, but now this? how can the 'average' seller on ebay post a $50,000 bond?
The reason to upgrade is because in 3 years, you wont have a choice. With the Activation of Windows in full throttle, what will you do when you need to reinstall / change hardware when their activation servers / support goes dead?
I dont know if anyone else noticed, but the boot chart site is down (slahsdotted), and the mirrored image has been hijacked. I honestly cant say that I know what on earth is going on in the hijacked image, it just blows my mind.

Wow. I hope you know you just FUBAR'd someones webserver. awesome.
I live in Troy, Ohio. Search for "Hobart Troy Ohio" to see any history.

If you open up Cygwin on Windows XP, and run:

it will bring your system to a halut (mine at least).

very true indeed. so one pillar was the filesystem, WinFS. the other was indigo. with 1/3 pillars left, it had better be a good one!

I'm moving to poland. I can handle the polish jokes any day over this software patent bullshit.

wonder what their power supply rating was? =\
