Yup... I'm the oldest on my team and the young pups can spit out more code, but when the rubber hits the road it's the old farts like me that deliver quality, stability and scalability. (Sort of a symbiotic relationship, they spit out tons of schlock then we fix it.)
Only on Thursdays, most of the rest of the week we're too busy complaining about Apple's walled garden and pretending that Android is a clear sign of the age of Aquarius.
One and a half million Facebook users die each year.
Am I the only one who is celebrating?

KDE 4.5 Released

SUSE is the champion.
Mod up parent. If I wanted people to try KDE I would recommend SUSE for the out of the box experience. (But I'm a Ubuntu/gnome guy... short, friendly and mostly brownish)
He pretty much hits the nail on the head with every single problem I've had with Linux audi
Bloody latency, the 'o' still hasn't arrived.
Wh*t do y** mea*... f*ne h*re.
(I love linux but pulseaudio in an Ubuntu 9.10 upgrade made me want to pull my hair out... clean install of 10.04 fixed it but then I retired the machine and replaced it with a macbook pro to play with the iOS SDK)
Face it, Monsanto is the BP of their particular sector of the economy. Both need to be taken down a few notches, if not outright disbanded and their assets sold off.
Monsanto makes BP look as innocuous as the funny old lady at the health food store that tries to sell you "vitamins".
Problem is that NOT ONE captive in Gitmo was treated as a POW. IMHO the US is in violation of the Geneva convention and many members of the administration should be up on human rights charges in the Hague, starting with Cheney and Bush and I'm beginning to thing we should include Obama if he doesn't correct this.
Remember what they did to Pinochet? Watch out Mr. Bush, one day it will be your turn.
This hadn't occurred to me, but now that you mention it I'm reminded of a friends failure to install SIMMs correctly on an old 486 era desktop. He actually managed to damage the motherboard since he didn't notice the retaining clips and just mashed them in.
A plug & play architecture that is so modular and simple that even the noobiest of noobs can upgrade might have some legs. Right now upgrading is such a bitch that I don't even bother anymore, I just get kick-ass machines and replace them bi-anually and ask relatives if they want my cast-offs.
I'm not blaming the wife for anything. I'm just surprised she never noticed the signs or smell the infection. Something that bad had to have smelled, right?
He also passed out drunk, I'm sure that EVERYTHING smelled.
Obscure to the majority of the planet who have not memorized the Simpsons. That being said I make obscure SciFi references all the time, the difference is that I KNOW they're obscure.
A lot of people voted for Obama because they thought he would hold true to his word and try to restore a lot of what we had lost, shut down Gbay, etc
With respect, what did "we" (the people, presumably) lose with Gitmo?
I would hope that the descendants of the founding fathers would have lost their self respect. But then this is the same nation that revels in "reality TV", MacDonalds and "Intelligent Design" so that might be asking a lot.
There are shitty husbands out there too. Honestly my wife never knows about my minor medical issues, if she did I'd never hear the end of it. Now I say shitty husbands because deception is a terrible way to deal with problems and I'd probably be better off if nothing was hidden.
Whats more this guy has diabetes, anyone with diabetes knows to take special care with any kind of wound or infection. He didn't take care of himself, how is that his wife's fault?
It's a shame. I have a feeling, had they managed to stay in the game, and progressed along with the times just like the PC and Apple platforms did, I'd probably be a Commodore "fanboy" these days.
I often feel the same way about the Roman Republic. Damned Imperialists!
Slashdot Mirror
Not a single word on Intel killing overclocking, eh? According to anand's article majority of new CPU's won't allow ANY kind of overclocking.
And 128 nerds cried themselves to sleep... :)
They should patent illogical naming of processes.
Come on, you need to click "START" in order to STOP something???
I think of it as "start shutting down"... once I accepted that double-think I got on with my life.

Wrong, his name is actually spelt "Fuckwit"
A common mistake, it's spelled Glenn but pronounced Fuckwit.
Wait...we're still doing that one?

Do you honestly think 'b..b..but terrorists' is any sort of intellectually valid answer to questions of national transport projects?
Within which country is the question being asked?

When did America go from being the nation of "can" to the nation of "can't"?

Lunnnnnnggggg....
Lovely, woody word....lunnnnnggg...
Sounds a bit tinny to me.
.... oh god, I just realized I had peanut butter last night!
Quick! Have someone lick your nuts and see if they taste salty!
That is going on my to-do list for the weekend.

Now I've got to figure out what to do with that corner of my basement.
Two words: Time Machine.
You know you want to.

Do we really want growing open source use in the military / intelligence sphere?
Bit late to worry about that. Where do you think SELinux comes from?

Modular computers. Easier upgrade paths.

Well yes, theoretically eventually a new equalibrium will be reached, just like it has after every other extinction level event. No worries then.
Higher temperatures increase the total amount of arable land on the planet and the amount of total precipitation.
Except of course for the marginal land that undergoes desertification or the low lying coastal areas that are flooded.
Do you not agree?
So it's good because we can't think of a better way? Is that really the best you can do?
