Shouldn't capabilities be in the filesystem so that it can be managed like permissions? Or at least in crt1.o so it can be managed by some standard utility and isn't affected by most library bugs? Otherwise, you still have software being given more privilege than it needs.
No, when the 4500 is officially junk, you want a rack, and to fill the rack with 4500s. Right now, a rack full of 4500s is the most CPU power per square foot that you can get as far as I know. (It beats the E10K!)
That's because Intel CPUs have fairly poor floating point performance. Alphas are some of the best.
Floating point performance is not all that relevant for most people.
For most applications, Intel hardware is much faster for the same money. It may be poor quality, and have a poor architecture, and all around just suck, but it is usually the best deal for your money.
I would never join a union. I would never work someone where many of my coworkers were in a union.
My explanation about why I hate unions is best given as an example. I worked at a large company where all the maintainance/construction people had a union. Anything that was their job, you would get in serious trouble for doing - for example changing a lightbulb or emptying a garbage can. I saw a lot of laziness from these people, but the example is the day I saw 10 guys digging a ditch. They each had shovels, but only one person was digging at a time. They would dig for a minute while everyone else watched, and then switch to someone else. Complete laziness.
Every casino considers using skills that give you an advantage over the house to be cheating. You will be hassled by security and then banned from the casino if they merely suspect it.
Where can I find a list of changes in 2.4 vs 2.2 that I, as a sysadmin and end-user, would find interesting? It's not really possible to get the information from the change logs.
Are any of those production quality yet? Or are they all still in alpha?

Flight didn't seem impossible, even then. Everyone knew that birds could fly, and that simple gliders are trivial to construct. You're comparing flight to things which violate the laws of physics as we know them. At no time did our understanding of the universe indicate that flight is not possible.
Sorry, you're wrong, and the internationally renowned genius is correct.
Floppy disks are extremely unreliable. The last time I went through a bunch of two-year-old floppies, about 2/3 were unreadable. Floppy disks are too unreliable to use for anything important. Hard disks are cheap. The cost of downtime when your floppy drive or disk fails will exceed the cost of a small HD.
Everyone knew that the commercialization of the internet, and bringing millions of people onto it, would cause this to happen.
Consider the original IRC network, EFnet. It's essentially dead - completely unreliable and virtually impossible to connect to. Because of people DOSing the servers.
I liked the net a whole lot more when it was just us geeks.
Your ship produces a known thrust. It is easy to accurately measure accelleration. You can determine the total mass of your ship (or the net mass of your cargo if you know the unloaded mass of your ship) pretty easily.
Nobody has yet mentioned that there was an episode of Star Trek Voyager where B'Elanna did this (on the holodeck). I always thought that was a good idea.

I think you should read Junkscience.com's DDT FAQ.
Why does everyone on slashdot think that this joke is so funny after the 500th time it's been posted here?

Mmmmm, 16 tits.

What can I use to play these in Linux? mpeg_play doesn't work, and neither does mtv.

All vxfs, of course.

Elevators are pretty foolproof, and will not fall to the ground in a power failure, or even if the cable snaps. Mechanical safeguards prevent this.

Yes, about 3*10^-8N for an 80kg human.

But can we see it in New York? We have the worst light pollution in the world.
You picked (1) the most verbose Unix command, and (2) still something that has only 7 characters of extra typing (ame and rint).
And you'd better quote those *'s, in case something in the current directory matches *facial*.jpg.

Excellent analysis.
He did answer the question. His answer was "no".
Does anyone kwow where I can find that video?

So, some questions for any patent lawyers in the crowd:
Is it illegal that we are discussing this clock?
Is it illegal to build this clock, even if not for sale?
Is it illegal for Slashdot to have posted this article pointing to the plan to build this clock?
Is it illegal for the site that is posting the plans to be posting them?
