that's one of the great things to slashdotters about getting fitted with one of these, it'll be let getting a handjob *from someone else*. A living hand you have to make numb first!
I had arpanet and HEPNET and then internet access at national laboratory since early 80s, but AOL made a good free backup email, and plus having it myself could get familiar enough with it to help old relatives who wanted to "be online". Even after leaving the lab in the 90s kept the AOL account though netcom was my primary access (remember netscape and having an ix.netcom.com e-mail?)
Actually, if you read reputable news sources Tanaka claims he had concerns in mid 70s the vessel wasn't strong enough to withstand stress of coolant failure. But the tinfoil hat blog sites have done the usual rumor monger / distortion thing with that. He became an anti-nuclear activist and regarding Fukushima mostly is criticising how TEPCO and the government are mishandling the situation.
Ubuntu is animal-centric in release naming. For release naming with sexual connotations, I suggest migrating to Gaybuntu, Archhole, Hoin'SuSIE, Ephebian or maybe OpenBSD&M
we sure hate it when 11.04's ssh client and sshd have all kinds of connection-breaking issues. That pisses me off way more than the half-baked Unity I can choose to not use.
find-and-replacing in text files is what Unix has been all about for decades, trivial and easy.
many nice solution scripts have been written for the "legacy grub" regarding presistent options that are still much simpler than the/etc/grub.d mess
silly, don't need grub but of course inux S390 can boot from card reader (virtual or physical), it the way its usually done under Hercules, for example. Since the console or running z/VM can boot other OS, why would you need grub?
The format and construction Arecibo message were incredibly stupid. All involved should have been smacked in the side of the head. Seriously, many slashdotters could have contructed a better message to properly convey the intended information and with less bits!
1, It was directed at an area of space with stars 25,000 light years away, instead of at closer collection within light-decades
2. There will not even be any stars at M13 when the signal arrives, the stars will have moved away
3. The binary numbers in the message are inconsistent, one representation at the beginning with fifth and higher bits in adjacent column (not used in rest of message!),, and there is a "always-on" extraneous bit added to the initial numbers, waste of bandwidth. (was this message designed by two committees that didn't talk to each other)
4. It gives the wrong number of base pairs in the human genome
5. The orientation of binary numbers for human parameters and radio telescope antenna is orthogonal to the standard set up in prior portions of the message, bit positions horizontal rather than vertical (did a third committee get involved)
this is a different matter than the mega-corporations with the government in their pockets, because alternatives exist. This is about foolish people spending money on a DRM device, knowingly giving up liberty, when alternative exists that has no DRM and will last for decades (which no electronic reader will). My 1978 Webster dictionary is in splendid shape, and doesn't make the errors that the auto-correcting system of slashdot (for example) does. Your Kindle will be useless in 33 years no matter what laws exist.
sorry to disappoint you, but sightings of man's air and space craft, radio controlled aircraft, deliberate hoaxes, blimps, weather balloons, etc., and absurd declarations by a couple now senile military men seeking fame (which scores of others at the same place and time have denounced as fantasy) do not constitute proof of alien visitation of earth. I know this will be devastating to the whacked weird view you hold between your ears, and your tinfoil hat wearing cyberspace "friends", but the truth is there has never been any credible evidence whatsoever of alien space craft visiting this globe.
my point was you can go to another bookstore if you wanted something my hypothetical one didn't sell. There are alternatives to buying Kindles, one of which would be to by an actual paper book.
it's heavier and not as easily airborne. Some was detected in the sea near Fukushima-Diachi, but at 1.3 times normal level quite frankly it's not a big concern, whereas the levels of radioactive cesium and iodine are.
we need to take spectroscopic measurements of earth-sized and super-earth-sized planets to detect evidence of life's biochemistry. But our short-sited congress cancelled the Terrestrial Planet Finder. The most monumental scientific discovery of mankind would be life elsewhere, it will need a little investment which is so very minuscule compared to the money we waste on enriching mega-corporations, imperialism and warmongering.
bullshit, this isn't about government action, a private company can choose to sell or not sell any kind of books it wants. If I had a book store, I wouldn't be selling certain kinds of material either just because I don't want to have to look at it, not out of any kind of fear or hatred for anyone. If you wanted to watch "Faces of Death - Babies vs. Whirling Blades Edition" you wouldn't be buying it from me.
yes, there are huge scalable databases out there, I'm saying OpenStack should have one.
That upper limit (thousands of nodes) was just an example, a venture that is planning to be big would want something with no scaling limits. Even if they only wind up with dozens of nodes, investors will want to see that they planned for a big future.
Slashdot Mirror
in German I like to call them "gutter-seeky"
suppose "planet" is large moon of homeless gas giant that is being mined for He3
you are the 1 who is much 2 picky 4 this venue.
making a few people go to google has to be the only possible way my stupid joke could have been modded informative

never used that AIM crap, only e-mail for communication

gone in many modern distros, replaced by a directory full of complex stuff
guess again, old timer. Have a look at /etc/grub.d/ sometime, it's a nightmare

"Seemed" a bit paranoid? You forget that stalker creep Maureen O'gara's and internet trash rag Linux Business News slimy actions.

We still have many one to three megawatt HF transmitters which are not going away any time soon
Funding has been deferred since January 30, 2007. Look at your calendar
