Linux does NOT have the option to run the hardware clock on local time, because if you reboot your machine during DST it does not know whether or not the hardware clock has been adjusted. It will come up an hour off. Don't do it.
For a simple way to tell if your Linux system is updated, just print a time after the change in both UTC and local and see if the offset is the correct number of hours. EST is 5 hours, but Eastern Daylight will be 4 hours. like so.

Upgrading FC4 to FC5 fixed some things for my desktop machine. Mostly from getting the newer firefox release. CUPS still can't configure a shared Windows printer, you need to use system-config-printer. They also dropped smbfs from FC5 and forgot to mention it in the release notes -- kind of a huge problem for me, since cifs won't mount samba shares. Given those problems I've been reluctant to upgrade to FC6. I may try kubuntu since I prefer KDE.
An alternative and simpler explanation is that the manufacturers are correctly specifying MTBF when drives are properly mounted and cooled. When used in the substandard conditions actually experienced, then overheating and lousy shock and vibration characteristics cause any drive to fail much sooner.
A libertarian in favor of taxing himself? Odd. Centuries of evidence to support the tragedy of the commons is a real effect. Don't know why an economist would argue with it.
Thanks for the packet drivers. I used them back in the day.
They have a huge room where your $10 is attached with a clothespin to a copy of the receipt for your monitor. Then when it gets recycled they match it up by serial number and pay your $10 to a contractor. If you don't recycle it, eventually they have to build a bigger room.
I'm all in favor of putting the real costs up front. It's almost impossible to enforce a fee at disposal time. People will just find some other way to hide these things in the trash or dump them.
Overpackaging goods with three layers of boxes and plastic should be taxed, too.
Gizmodo is calling for a one-month boycott of the RIAA sponsoring music labels: Warner Music, EMI, Vivendi Universal, and Sony BMG. Don't buy anything during March 2007 to let them know what you think of these tactics.
Oh stupid me. Also, Afghanistan hostilities ended in 2001 and Mission Accomplished ended in Iraq in 2003. Please let our boys in Korea know that they can come home now. Somebody forgot to tell them.
There are a lot of links in the transmission chain. I'm guessing that now some of those links are digital, so they are now introducing at least one A-D and D-A conversion in your analog signal, which is adding some noise. When you watch stuff like football games that are also broadcast in HDTV, you will see that noise tends to result in rectangular blocks of pixels dropping out, which is a giveaway that it is happening in an encoded compressed digital link.
The original US patent (5,440,676) that opened the door to patenting software was for an anti-aliasing feature in an oscilloscope display. Because it was shown that it could have been done in software or hardware, but the result was a physical mechanism, the patent was allowed. Once the foot was in the door, everyone just started adding boilerplate "device is an electronic computer comprising software to do X" and the battle was over.
Anyway, the original was on a device, not pure software. UK believes that they can enforce the same rule that the US PTO failed to enforce.
Temperature in South African mines goes up about 12 deg C per km. Considering that global warming refers to a few degree change, I would call that a significant amount. Don't forget that there are hydrothermal vents on the bottom of the ocean near the hot spots.
The Bathyscaphe Trieste made it to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, 10,916 metres (5969 fathoms) in 1960 with two people on board. In 1995, the unmanned Kaiko made it to a similar depth.

smbfs worked in FC4, cifs doesn't in FC5. Shares didn't change. I had to convert them to NFS to mount them on FC5.
You can use a cron to do this in the spring, but I wouldn't recommend it in the fall.

And those lying road signs, too. Everyone knows there should be 1024 meters in a kilometer!

One way they offer lower prices is by doing free advertizing on slashdot.

You aren't drafted "for a war", you are drafted into the army and they send you where they want.

Yeah. This is going to kill the trade-in value.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I was talking about patent law. I don't know of a challenge or court ruling on the SyncSort patent.
Subtle difference, Diamond v. Diehr was the case which allowed processes which include a computer program as a step to be patented. In re Alappat , the case I mentioned, was, AFAIK, the first case to allow a patent on a computer program.
