On the ASCII sort "bug", he writes dates have to be reversed to sort correctly. No, the correct way to write a date is 2004-11-29, what's the problem. That sorts correctly!;-)
Too bad Russian is also making a new kind of nuclear missle. (Sounds like a Cruise missle - not actually new) Hey won't the nuclear explosions cause some global warming?
Its especially funny that this article is from Australia... the place where they have had more than their share of invading species intended to fix an existing problem.
So now I suppose this is a new silly field that people will compete in. Every 6 months we'll have to hear about the latest largest digital image in the world. Maybe slashdot should make an icon... or maybe would should just ignore it.
The car metaophore should be banned! Its like you are lying on the ground on front of my car comparing something in computing to cars and I drive over you.
Slashdot Mirror
The Decimal type! Finaly Python is catching up to COBOL. Yeah.
Actually, its useful. Every language should have it.
Does it use that new Parot thingie that Python and Perl were supposed to share?
Instead of having a special keyword for immutable sets (frozenset) wouldn't it be better to have an "immutable", "final" or "const" keyword?!
www.google.tv is registered and goes to the regular Google page. Rememeber how they denied gbrowser.com meant anything.
To my collegues (here in the US) IM is MSN.
I hate that Microsoft cr*p. So I refuse to use it. If they switched to, say, Jabber then I'd consider it.

I wonder if the "security" dots are placed under software control. If so, it can be hacked.
Sadly, no... what about the new guy who want to launch a new business selling some crap and advertisizing with spam.
Why not just:
for (;;)
{
Dig(); Picture();
}
In my experience mutex's, semaphores, etc always cause trouble. There is nearly always another way to write things.
And you'll never ever seem me coding an infinite wait for a mutex. That's just asking for trouble.
Bad: in Windows, FindNextChangeNotification()
requires those IPC operations and I always gives me grief.
Good: The Linux File Activity Monitor (FAM). Lets you open and read a pipe of actions. Nice!

Good idea!!!
Sorry to disappoint you but that picture is a radio. ;-)
Yet another good reason for copyrights to expire after a reasonable number of years.
Sure, but what about a Point-of-Sale system in a store or resturant. Things like that. Now every job is a "knowledge worker" job.
... then you don't need any security updates.
Really. Lots of business desktops don't need
full Internet access.

An AMD Opteron (64-bit) 4 CPU system with a LinuxBIOS and silent cooling please.

There are some fine community rpm repo's - eg:

First there was ATX, not BTX. Could the next be possibly CTX?!
Thanks for the info. I have FC3 installed and didn't know all that.
/dev still have every possible device there?
If udev only shows installs devices why does my
Left over from my FC2 inistall? Should I delete them all?!
To me FC3 seems faster. Maybe its the reduced latency kernel mod.
Sure, other board games, like Risk, Clue, Scrabble.
