The other spot it fills in from is your.ssh/config file as well if you have Host entries in there. Quite handy actually to have every server you log into at work in there and just writing scripts around that list or being able to do..
ssh app1 instead of ssh linuxapp1.host.domain.internal or such.
I've actually noticed, at least via amazon's history (which is somewhat scary how long they have kept my purchasing habits) that I've bought more cd's since 2000 and the napster revolution then before (that includes a general knowledge of second hand cd purchases as well). In the last 2 years I will tend to buy multiple albums at a time when I order. Course the thing is that the labels I'm buying from arn't part of the RIAA.
The last RIAA album that I actually bought was ~2003 and that was a Evanescence CD. I've not been trying to avoid buying from them, it just so happens that the music I enjoy is on Metropolis and projekt's labels. Its just like the MPAA I haven't gone to the movies a lot because the vast majority of stuff is crap. I'd rather just wait and rent it for one third of the price.
Let, me guess...you happen to think that portage is amazingly slow in doing anything right?
Have you tried the 2.1_pre releases yet, a lot of effort has gone into improving the scalability of it. You will notice a vast improvement on most systems with it. Especially when you hit the KDE modular ebuild updates.
You can also feel free to visit any of the developers in the irc channels ranging from #gentoo to #gentoo-portage for portage itself on irc.freenode.net. Generally, we're all willing to have a nice talk about our various area's with the end user, after all we are end users as well.
ps. just don't start in with the rewrite it in C so it's cool and awesome and python sucks...that'll quickly get you disliked:)
I'm scared at the ammount of people that are going to run out and buy longhorn when it comes out.
It seems like the only new thing thats destined to actually make it into longhorn is "transparency" and ie7. In 5 years that's all that seems to have happened. Oh and a new skin. That's some development model!
Who also wants to bet upon release there will be about 6 patches to fix security flaws as well.
You could also look at Gentoo as well, which has had 64 bit compatibility for a while. Course who'd want to look there for a distro who makes you compile things *gasp*
I'm a gentoo user on 3 different systems. A webserver being one of them.
As far as it goes about where the instructions for this or that goes. Unlike other distro's the forums http://forums.gentoo.org/ are probably some of the best I've ever seen. When you ask a question you tend to get some kind of helpful response. Even if its the amazingly simple question of how do you pipe a output to do something else. Others will net you a n00b ranking and razing without getting the response. That is one of the main reasons I've stayed with gentoo. The community around it just makes others appear elitist. *those of you who know which one i am talking about can say it but i wont;)*
Of course you do have those ricers who do the 80 different cflags (many of which end up being redundant when you use -O2 or -O3). You also have the currently crazy people who've been running on GCC4 for months now, and have it working properly.
Well, this all comes down to the fact that the uni is tracking usage of the network, without finding out exactly what its being used for.
In this case you might have a foot to stand on. If you can pointedly prove that you were using it to support FOSS. If you have logs you can take it to them and show them without a doubt that you were not doing anything illegal, and far from it something that supports the growth of community.
However depending on how hardline the university is deciding to be you can be out of luck entirely. That's about the only way i can think of that you might have a snowballs chance in hell to prove that you wern't using a "university deemed" illegal application for illegal purposes.
Out of interest, do you think trees are worthless except to make houses, or the ocean seaweed?
You forget about a few forms of power that everyone seems to forget.
Wind power, for many years has not been a reliable alternative to many other types of fuel. However, there's been a lot of recent advances in the technology. For the cost of approximately 3% of the nations (USA in this example) you could power the entire nation. (I can't give a link to this unfortunately, since it was in one of my classes during a discussion)
Solar power is another form of power that has made great strides as a renewable source. Its a possibility for individuals to do and save money. Though its not as viable as a alternative to other forms.
Finally you have hydrogen power. for many places cloast to the coast you have the ability to take water and use the hydrogen to power its own reactions to create hydrogen and then power to use for other things. The foresty service is already using this technology to save energey at its national parks. Yosemite being the one everyone would realize.
"No, you wouldn't. You do realise that the containers have been tested in collisions with concrete walls at over 100mph? It's not just loaded into boxcars."
And the titanic was the ship that was supossedly unsinkable. Well would you like pictures of it down on the bottom of the ocean? If something can go wrong it can..and eventially will.
I'm not even going to argue about hydrodynamic power and the enviromental impact they have. That's a topic for another discussion.
The entire problem in the US stems from the fact that the government wanted cheap reliable fuel and saw nuclear power as the solution to it. Among the consessions they made to get companies to build these hugely expensive power generators (beyond the obvious subsidy's) is that the government would take the waste that was produced and dispose of it.
The nuclear reactor's are now calling the governments bluffs (which it was), causing them to scramble for a solution. Yucca mountain was the ideal location. It is remote, [sarcasm]who lives near a giant mountain in the nevada desert anyways? [\sarcasm]. Everyone knows people live in either Vegas, Reno or Carson City. (yes i do live in nevada as a warning).
The problem with this solution is a couple of things. Transport of the nuclear waste. You have large sites of waste from the east coast that would have to travel to the west coast. The idea was to use the rail system to transport this. However, you will go through many many residential and commercial area's along the way. If you were to have a train derail or a vehicle hit and turn over the boxcar holding the waste, you could have a huge spill in a highly populated area. Secondary, there is no way to guarentee that you won't have some of the radiated water from yucca seep into the ground water. This ground water is pumped up by farmers and used to spread on crops. Thus you will have radiated food being fed to your people potentially. Don't you want to eat food that glows at night? Finally, you have earthquake falts in the area. San Adreas being the big one. Its the transition of the pacific plate to the North American plate. From research data, its long overdue for a big earthquake. Something bigger then the 7.0's we get periodically in california. Yes, the fault is some hundreds of miles from the site. But then you get a 7.1 earthquake 60 miles north of Big Bear and you feel a 6.7 in San Diego. So you would have the possibility of a huge quake (not sure how big. I believe it was stated somewhere at least a 8.0 if San Andreas was to go off), traveling this significant distance and shaking up a mountain filled with radioactive waste and fluids, above a aquafer that is believed to stretch well beyond the limited area of nevada (something like to the midwest).
Now, those people who say that it doesn't matter store it there...i don't want to see it. Do you want the consequences when something happens along the way, or at the site. That will effect you in some way?
*procedes to hunt down a HK laserdisc bootleg*
I might not of been old enough to see the orig. in the theaters...minus the last two. However, I refuse to buy the remade special editions. I'd rather get a "bootleg" of the laserdiscs then go out and buy something I know i'll loathe.
And the straight out refusal is just going to cost lucas money, his "piracy" comment just makes that all the more real, because a lot of people won't stand up for this kind of stuff.
P.s yes i thought episode 1 was really attrocious, ep 2 was slightly better, and episode 3 I don't expect anything from. Just let it die and let us keep our memories lucas
