A good memory is an excellent asset, but with only that ability you're limited to solving problems to which you've already seen a solution. Given the choice, I think I'd rather have high intelligence than a good memory. Please remember that this may change as I get older.
I've always thought IQ tests were fairly useless at least in many cases. Most of the software developers I know score very high on IQ tests, but it seems to me that we're cheating to a degree. Our day to day job tends to train us to solve many of the sorts of problems that are on IQ tests. Of course we'll score well.
If you use KSplice, you don't need to reboot. I believe KSplice is already pushing the fix for this bug, although I'm basing this statement on what I remember from the description of the patch. Can anyone out there verify it?
Problems plugging in an external monitor on my netbook. Workarounds are available, so it's tolerable. On the upside, it seems a bit better on batter life. Strangely, I'm not seeing any improvement in boot times, which people seem so obsessed with. Until it's under 10 seconds for my netbook, I'm sticking with suspend/hibernate.
The new disk utility picked up the informed me that my laptop disk is in serious need of replacing, which is a nice thing to know before it fails. Overall, not as smooth an upgrade as Jaunty, but not bad.
HTML has the same problem as PDF... it describes how to display the data, not what it is. Using CSS and XML would be a far better idea. As in software development, separate the presentation from the data. It's fine for the government to provide both, as long as they're separate. You would always have the base XML to describe the actual data, and it's in an easily machine parsable format.
As they say "The meek shall inherit the earth... if that's alright with the rest of you". Well, I guess in this case that would be "the geek shall inherit teh Earth".
Even at an implementation level, the jockdom approach to war was over decades ago. Oppenheimer et al, and many, many others over the years have obsoleted most of that approach.
I'm completely on board with old people using steroids. I've seen the damage an old person can do with a car... giving them control of one of those suits from alien sounds like a bad idea.
Slashdot Mirror
That my friend, is an excellent idea. You could even earn levels.
There are actually accomplished non-asshole, intelligent, and fair-minded people here on slashdot.
Those would be the zealots.

Was he the other guy on the Pedro ticket?

I'm just happy to see them actually realizing that it should require a warrant.
If you have the client code, you can pre-encrypt before the communications layer if you need the added security.
If that was the ruling, then the law, or its interpretation are quite wrong. Just because it's the law doesn't make it right.

What if I'd like to buy my apps from Borders?

Ubuntu Release Party
I can't wait to have a working circuit printed on as a tattoo, with the components inserted as piercings. I'm thinkin' 2 stage amp.
Sheer persistence ends up getting these things passed,
You've spelled "corruption" wrong.
The image search engine TinEye will become very handy.
So that's why they always say "free, as in beer" ...
Sounds like something that might be useful in a video game console ...

Yeah ... but dancing bunnies .... it is a tough call.
I generally feel the same way about George Lucas.
That's no moon! It's a space station.
That hole is probably where it fires its main weapon from.
... if it gets approved, which really should not happen.
