Once it 'works' . . . my guess is something will go wrong with the measuring instruments. There's no reason to think that the base functionality is the only thing flawed. It'll be great to finally have particles fire around the track, collide, and have bad data.
Cutting-edge science uses cutting-edge technology. Of course it breaks ! But in a few decades these technologies might be ready for industrial uses.
According to a principle reiterated by its Republican Regulations "the Assembly is always in force to deliberate and settle its agenda". The votes are valid regardless of the number of members present unless a group chairman calls for quorum before the opening of the ballot.
The quorum refers to the presence inside the National Assembly by an absolute majority of deputies (based on the number of seats actually filled).
When a vote may not take place due to lack of quorum, the session is adjourned and the vote postponed for at least an hour. The vote is consequently valid whatever the number of deputies present.
Also, from the linked article (dammit, accentuation removed, won't they ever learn UTF-8 ?):
Apres 41 heures et 40 minutes d'une discussion passionnee sur le texte, il ne restait qu'une poignee de courageux deputes autour de 22H45 jeudi soir lorsque l'Assemblee Nationale a decide [...] de passer immediatement au vote de la loi Creation et Internet, qui n'etait pas attendu avant la semaine prochaine.
The vote was called 41 hours and 40 minutes after the start of the session, at 10:45 pm, and the vote wasn't expected that day; no wonder only a few deputies were remaining.
I had issues once because of a buggy BIOS setting a bad voltage on the memory chip. Check for BIOS updates. Also memtest that memory on another computer if possible.
I noticed the same behaviour : Windows wouldn't even install in optimal performance condition (not overclocking, simply set up for dual-channel) while Ubuntu would install.
However some programs wouldn't work because during install some buffers went corrupted and the binaries were then corrupted on disk.
So it's not because Ubuntu doesn't crash that it can be considered reliable.
In the case of a bad memory chip :
Linux doesn't do the "A" part of the parent post, but you can tell the kernel that some memory range is bad (other posts are giving instructions)
And I have a "D." item :
Linux apps uses much more shared libraries than Windows ones, so have a smaller "unique" memory footprint and are therefore less likely to fall on a bad memory portion.
Oh, you can steal the software, just walk into [...] Best Buy and shoplift a copy. That's the only way to steal software.
Well I prefer the other way, go to the developer HQ, and take all copies of source code and art there. That's what I call software theft, why stop at a copy ?
And all that time I thought that the main feature of a browser was to render so-called "web pages" correctly. I mean, I'm using my browser primarily to access content, not for playing with tabs and search bars. Silly me.
Next time they will tell us that IE9 is better because it has a better embedded Flight Simulator than competitors...

As you also stated, he neither understands that Linux != distribution and that distribution != single entity developing everything. It's not like non-MS windows applications all are using the same configuration methods...

This hypothesis never had significant scientific support, but gained temporary popular attention due to a combination of press reports that did not accurately reflect the scientific understandings of ice age cycles; and a slight downward trend of temperatures from the 1940s to the early 1970s

Probably that one.

3. Start crying how the GPL is a communist cancer that should stay away from corporate source code to avoid "infection"
That was in 2001.
2. Make sure that someone drags you to court for the violation
That was in 2003. Not directly but supposedly partly founded by them.

That is in 2009.

41 hours of session, but over many days!
Agreed, 33h from the start of the week.
Full retranscription here (obviously in French)
Start and stop of individual sessions are given at top and bottom of each session.
Translated excerpt of French assembly voting rules (emphasis is mine):
3. - Quorum
According to a principle reiterated by its Republican Regulations "the Assembly is always in force to deliberate and settle its agenda". The votes are valid regardless of the number of members present unless a group chairman calls for quorum before the opening of the ballot.
The quorum refers to the presence inside the National Assembly by an absolute majority of deputies (based on the number of seats actually filled).

I suspect the intersection between those who get it and those with modpoints will be the empty set.
Nope, I have modpoints. But no more for this story, GP got +5 funny anyway.

I will add that memory is not necessarily bad.
I had issues once because of a buggy BIOS setting a bad voltage on the memory chip.
Check for BIOS updates.
Also memtest that memory on another computer if possible.

These incidents show that submarines stealth technologies are inspired from ostrich strategy.

They're preparing to replace Web2.0 by Web3.0, a.k.a TV2.0 .
Big Corp. know what's good for you and won't be bothered.
If you're not Big Corp. you had nothing to link here in the first place. You just deserve that fine, collateral damage or not.

They wear [...] a beard, this can't be a good thing
Actually this is a good thing.
Yes, it's been implemented in FreeBSD the day of publication of the RFC, just to be removed the day after :
Implementation
Removal
Credit : Wikipedia ... so, yes, it's just a joke RFC (april fool's day RFC)
FYI, the IP over avian carrier RFC1149 has also been implemented.
Apparently iiNet didn't enforce the evil bit
They deserved to be sued.
In most cases, the thing won't be done on Friday.
And in the case of some CEO, someone will be found fucking killed by some chair.
Plus it won't be done on Friday, until it's been redefined as "Friday... next year".
Parent post is not insightful, it is plain wrong.
As you and the modder seem unable to follow links here's one of their technologies pages
And yet another link about Tai-chi, with videos.

Would you care to backup your claim with some source ?
I can only find mentions of (modified) Ford motors in Saleen cars.
And they indeed have an agreement with Ford, it's on their "About Saleen" page.
That Steve Saleen owned a Porsche and was member of the Porsche Owner's Club is unrelated to the engines in their vehicles.
Can you point me to a car brand powered by Ford engines without an agreement between Ford and that brand ?
You can't ? Maybe there's a reason. Just sayin'.
