Hmm, actually there are companies that don't solve every bug in their releases, but pick and choose, because managers think it's an added incentive to buy the next releases. And they are right.
On the other hand I think there are plenty of features to be developed, so I think it's stupid to do this in the long run...
Pros: Incredible number of different (blond, dark, short, tall, Nordic, Greek, Asian looking, etc...) beautiful girls. And, hmm, well, nothing else really, which kind of sucks...
You don't have to chroot anyway. I got an mplayer32 binary and it works just fine. It all depends on which ld-linux.so the executable is using. See ldd, or simply view the start of the file, it's right there. The 32 bit one can find 32 bit libs in/lib,/usr/lib, etc and 64 bit stuff in/lib64,/usr/lib64. I'm using Fedora Core4 as a base by the way. And you can do all sorts of funny stuff by changing ld-linux.so with a hex editor to something else:)
That's exactly what I did, downloaded Firefly off a torrent. I enjoyed it so much I bought the DVD box set.
The internet should be about this: make people interested in what you want to sell. Not sell them stuff and see if they are interested, cause that just won't work on me.
I've read his works in hungarian, one of the many languages they were translated to. I fully agree on "He was one of those whose books had actual content and were more than mere entertainment."

what's the big deal about desktops. I'm useing FVWM2 everywhere with a small panel with pager, clock and net/temp meter. Everything else is in the menu, which comes up if I click on a free space (there's always free space, or you can just add more panels). I mean what's the point of having a nice picture of SMG as the background if I can't see her:)

The sad part is that you cannot have a series like that. The show was cancelled.

People can't eat gold/money/diamonds. Read the news about aid going into Africa and you'll understand.
done. Now for my well deserved break. ZZZZzzzzz...
Seriously though, Joss Whedon is the god of superhero women. (Hmm, ok, maybe not seriously, but you get my point).
For the avarage movie it would be more appropriate to give a urine sample.
I'd love to get a job where I get payed for thinkin up stupid things like this.
From TFA: "A chip, the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), is used to encrypt data streams between the operating system and applications."
One question: why ?
I thought modern processors (like the 386) already kept processes from reading each others data. So it's not for separation.
It certainly won't keep an application from hacking the operating system, cause I don't think the TPM could possibly figure out if the data it encrypts is harmfull or not. So if the system call is buggy, it will be hacked TPM or not.
One use could be to only let digitaly signed/unmodified application to run... hmm, why do I think that this coming from Microsoft is not good ?
Feel free to add more ideas...

It's been 2 years now since one of the best TV shows ever made ended. I hope Joss will get a chance to create something like that again. In the mean time, let's go watch Serenity...
I don't want to block sensible ads (such as the ones on google,imdb), so I don't use adblock. What I do instead is just stay away from websites that have too much ads.

Yep, I remember. And there was some mention of Google(TM) even before that, IIRC.

I _am_ relieved.

Even though Serenity didn't live up to my expectations, it was still better (for me) than the three prequels put together.
What Lucas did to SW just makes me wanna hurl.
Bring back Firefly damnit!
Oh, and Han shot first
And by more modern you mean it's easier to shoot yourself in the foot with it ?
Correct.
There are several problems with trying to stop hurricanes, see section C5 of the NOAA Hurricane FAQ: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/tcfaqHED.html

Maybe they want to compare past results with new ones ? Just a guess.
Hi, http://www.edfilmfest.org.uk/news/articles/detail/ 16
rumor has it that their server crashed when Serenity tickets went online. I hope it will be good, score lots of money and they make sequels.
