nonsense, I guessed (correctly it turns out) from the description that Xp and older versions of windows would have problem. But those of us who keep older computer around for windows, with no interest in going beyond Xp, aren't fretting.
You have an imagined stereotype that isn't true. Here's my stereotyping, Less than 0.1% of readers of slashdot would be "lay readers" in matters of computers so you needn't worry.
but in windows server 2008 and Exchange 2007 the command line and scripting (powershell) is back with a vengeance. Even Microsoft realized dah Powah of dah Toiminal!
terminals are a very necessary and relevant part of Linux. That's how most server administration is done. That's how sending commands to many network appliances is done. That's how setting up high end computers is done (e.g. set up a midrange Integrity or Superdome and you'll start with terminal on the serial port, whether cu in linux or hyperterminal in windowws or a real terminal). Also how certain tasks are performed in GUI environments. It doesn't matter that the terminal is now mostly virtual, the cursor control and font attribute features make convenient applications possible. Even on the weekend here I am chatting via IRC to some tech friends with irssi in terminal under screen, and reading server status emails with mutt. the terminal, it's 21st century tool.
And that red herring about sea level rise, here's a news flash for "climatologists", the sea has been rising for millenia, for most of the time much fast than it has been rising today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise
Yes, there were many in many alarmist reports of runaway warming. Extrapolation was even used to build the thing by Mann's admission, and those statistical methods have been repeatedly discredited.
The sun of course is a variable star, the climatologist nonsense you link stating that solar output is constant and has been since the 1970s is laughable.
As is your ignoring the "hockey stick" was used via extrapolatoin to warm of temperature runaway. which has not happened, global average temperature dropped in the past three years even while CO2 output increased, which is of no surprise to real scientists as CO2 is a minor contributor to atmospheric greenhouse effect, which is dominated by water vapor.
there are scientists in all those organizations that question validity of current "climate models", and the real scientists among them will tell you the dominant greenhouse gas on this planet is water vapor, next to that the effects of CO2 are negligible. And it is beyond our ability to model the effects of water vapor.
There are 30,000 scientists who have signed paper saying the science behind AGW is questionable.
over the past ten years, the "climatologists" (not real scientists) have wasted billions of dollars saying "climate change will cause drought", then "climate change will cause stronger storms, then "climate change will cause flooding"...depending on what the global weather at the time seemed to be doing. Thus exposing their basic methodology of cooking the books to conform to what answers they wanted, including taking a 25 year period and extrapolating into the future to get the "hockey stick". They when planet earth went off the hockey stick, "where is the heat going?" the "climatologists" were wailing, and now the public is awakened to their scam.
We don't need a government organ devoted to spewing unscientific nonsense to support the agenda of Al Gore and his ilk. We don't need to continue the funding of utterly useless and bogus "climate models" that have nothing to do with what the sun-driven climate of this planet (and all the other planets, as real scientists have noted).
The real purpose of climatology as practised has to do with channeling of trillions of dollars of wealth through the World Bank in "cap and trade" fraud, and the pumping up of carbon emission derivatives for the money cartels such as Goldman Sachs.
I've found I don't like glowing sights or even colored sights. If there is enough light to positively see attacker/enemy's body, there is enough light for using plain black sights. And yes, over the years I've fired untold tens of thousands of handgun rounds with iron sights, glowing sights, laser sights (which would be my second choice in addition to iron), scopes.
could be, or they might just be twisted. You can untwist them by grabbing one in middle and walking in a half circle. If it's pointing the right way when you are done then the twisted nail has been fixed.

your logic is fallacious, there will always be a percentage of people for whom a vaccine doesn't work anyway. There will always be a percentage of people who cannot take a vaccine. It therefore doesn't matter if one child in 25 has parents who choose not to be vaccinated.
And humans are not herd animals, though interestingly those advocate forcing compliance with the state's health mandates have that defective point of view.
I hate to break it to you, but besides all the rebukes about your misunderstandings of diesel throttle technology, commercial diesel truck features are of no relevance whatsoever to consumer car issue I was pointing out. You may as well have posted about motorboats or all terrain vehicles.
No, you are stupid in failing to see big picture. Hoses and hydraulics had many things to do with overall power delivery to wheels of traditional systems. Ever heard of vacuum advance? transmission modulator? Those any many other "hose and hydraulic" functions are now done by computer.
citation needed. I'd say the opposite, huge number of replaced PCM modules and sensors show electronics are short lived, needlessly complex solutions offered in lieu of time tested mechanical and hydraulic ones. For example, guess what can happen if O2 sensor in exhaust system is faulty, car can drop rpm to idle then rev high in ten second pulses, very dangerous on highway. Happened to me, found myself in 4000 lbs. bucking steel bronco. Computer should not have so much control over throttle, just a small amount of mixture and timing adjustment, not complete potentially deadly control.
it is useless if the attacker bleeds to death half a hour later or more after stabbing you you death.
My cousin was shot in the head with a.22 pistol, died over twelve hours later in surgery, was able to talk before then to relate details of circumstances
The inefficiency is very small, clever construction of emulator means no need to do constant flipping. Consider that the Java Virtual Machine is presented to programmer as big endian though the internals are not implemented that way on x86
Oracle wants to assume direct sales relationships with the enterprise and government clients of Sun, to get consolidated stack offering and cut out the partner middlemen. Huge (but not unexpected) for some of us who work for value added resellers (VAR), at least my place of employment also sells the other Unix(tm) big iron, Sun becoming ever smaller piece of revenue over the past five years
a little hint might have been Oracle promising UltraSparc users continued "future binary compatibility"....like they may at some point ditch the chip and offer emulation on x86-64.

and how exactly are we going to look at future climate change? Our models have already been proven the most useless rubbish in the last three years, and they might be based on tainted data: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/environment/article7026317.ece

the vehicle, 2006 Caravan with 4 cylinder engine, does indeed have computer controlled fly-by-wire throttle.
