    I'm surprised that the OpenBSD core, being as standards-anal as they are, hadn't moved to gcc 3.x much sooner. I'm sure they like having their compiler back them up when they call someone else's code disgusting.

    Mechanic: Sir, your car is ready.

    Customer: Thanks for fixing it so quickly!

    Mechanic: We didn't fix it. We just brought it up to standards. Oh, by the way, your air conditioning no longer works, and your rear brakes are now disabled.

    Customer: Uhh.. What?

    Mechanic: That's right. The standard refrigerant is now R-134A, so we removed your old R-14 air conditioning system. Also, disc brakes are now standard in the autmotive world, so we removed your drum brakes. Don't drive too fast.

    Customer: What the fuck?

    Mechanic: Oh, I almost forgot. Your car doesn't have airbags. We're going to have to remove your car's body and replace it with a giant tube frame lined with air mattresses.

  8. Re:Free Thinkers Declare War on the RIAA on Congress Declares War on File Leakers · · Score: 1

    We do not grant the government rights under a representative republic. We elect representatives, who are then to act as a means for which the people to voice their will to the government. Unfortunately, it seems that the people no longer wish to speak to their government, and are more content to let corporations sway their representatives.

    Face it. What we essentially have now is a government that ignores the people, mostly because A) the people have chosen not to speak to their representatives any longer, or B) their representatives do not care, because their constituents don't give them kickbacks.

  12. My only request on Firefox 1.0.3 and Mozilla Suite 1.7 Released · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Please fix memory leaks. Firefox seems to allocate more and more memory over time, even when not in use. It will start off with around a 10MB footprint, and will eventually grow to almost 50MB, even with the memory cache disabled. This behavior shows up in Windows, Linux, Solaris, and NetBSD.

    No, I have not submitted a bug report, though I probably will. I've always figured that this was some minor leak that would be fixed "just around the corner," but its looking to be more and more unlikely.

    Thanks.

  13. Re:There are other differences... on Longhorn Preview · · Score: 1

    Imagine the ability to have something as solid, feature rich, and protected as Tiger, that you can run on a relatively powerful system you made from parts you bought off of newegg for $600. Personally, I believe that's worth waiting for.

    It's already here. Unfortunately, Slashbots insist on continuing to use unpatched versions of Windows NT logged in as an Administrator-level user, and then they wonder why buggy applications are able to damage the system.

    As for car shows, Full Throttle on History is pretty good. It's not flashy at all, unlike the other shows, and actually does a great job of giving the history of each featured model.

    They don't get too into the nuts and bolts of what upgrades they're adding to the car, but you usually know what to expect anyway.
