I just love it that Alaska isn't considered 'part of the country'. Maybe we should just go back to being in Russia, although I would prefer Canada myself.
its probably just wishful thinking... if only Palin wasn't American
Is this all passenger data or just trips to USA? If it is just trips to the USA it is not asking for much more than you fill in on the ESTA any way. If it is all flights, then what business of the USA is it if I fly from Leeds to London or Paris?
But while Debian supports Itanium, Canonical specifically doesn't. And Proliants are based on Xeons, not Itanium. Integrity servers are what's based on Itanium, and they can run only HP/UX, Debian and FreeBSD, although NetBSD 6 is said to be supporting it for the first time.
You are right. I thought that the high-end proliants were also Itanium but this appears not to be the case
I am constantly being accused of shilling for Microsoft on Slashdot just because I write that they do some good things. Seems like Mueller was accused for that too. Well, turns out that not true and these FOSS lunatics just make out some huge conspiracy theories how the whole world is against them.
And by the way, who should comment on these issues then? Someone who doesn't work in the industry and doesn't know anything about it? Yeah right. But of course it's bad when the comments contain something you don't agree with. For the free speech and freedom, yeah right!
Does that mean that you are being paid by Microsoft in the same way that Mueller is being paid by Oracle, but you also think it is OK?
I have no problem with people coding the software in their car. I have a problem with people driving them on the public road before a certification process.
People doing experimental stuff in linux does not bother me. People doing experimental stuff on a machine I have stored my credit card info on does bother me.
I hate to tell you this but with many financial institutions the machine your credit card info is stored on is running Linux. In the case of my employer Red Hat Enterprise running Oracle RAC.
They should be open source. And, just like homebuilt airplanes, not allowed out in public until they've been inspected and passed the same level of rigor.
Why not like homebuilt cars, which have to be tested but not nearly as rigorously? I wouldn't mind betting that this is what you should do legally after modding a car anyway
Newer and less useful - it actually has less information than the "old-fashioned" Ceefax and worse information density - they can fit about 1 paragraph of a news story or 5 headlines of the index on screen at a time, compared to 4 paragraphs or the whole index with Ceefax, and most of the pages didn't make it in the switchover.
I would put that down to style rather than capabilities, they seem to have gone with sparse screens with a lot of sub-pages.
some guy somewhere is saying "WOW... Honey, look at what this guy built in his garage for $150,000" and his wife/girlfriend/significant other is yelling "AND ONE DIVORCE!!!!"
To which the guy responds, under his breath,
"... lucky bastard..."
He must have had a good lawyer. Most divorce settlements leave the man barely able to afford this type of simulator.
Millions of "Brits" have already had the old-fashioned Cefax replaced by the newer freeview information services. Journalists only just notice because it's London's turn now.
If he manages - you know what the next stage is. Patent trolls patenting tricks that someone might think of a way to do - so when they proudly show some illusion that has taken a year to perfect someone will say "I have a patent on making large objects appear to come out of Uranus" and demand most of the profit.
...want to know that anyone involved has been signed with an NDA before they consider giving you money.
In the case of financial services organisations (in the UK at least) we have to obtain an NDA by law. For overseas contractors we need safe harbour agreements too, or they must work on site and not take any information away.
The trust thing aside, that seems like a very good reason to refuse.
I'd never choose to race someone to completion on an idea, but the last thing I'd ever need is for anyone to come after me, my future products, or business partners because (in someone's twisted, bitter mind) something is distantly reminiscent of something mentioned to me under NDA.
Or more than likely not mentioned to you, but some idea that someone who worked for the company had and was dismissed at the time. Since they have evidence of the idea and you worked there then you must have seen it. Seeing someone make a success is a good way to remind people of their ideas in dusty old files.

Anyone have technical details for the reactors?
Hey, is that you Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?

Whoops - I forgot the link to Space Seed.
You know, I've always wondered why (in the original series at least) there seemed to be few, if any Indians or Chinese for that matter.
Well there was "Space Seed", which lead to the film "The Wrath of Kahn".

Why bother? The site is down.
That's one way its better. On the microsoft site you might waste time reading about Word

Well they've got to have something to run on the Itanium
You're right, Florian is a paragon of unbiased reporting. He exemplifies everything a truly neutral journalist should be.
Yes ... he is totally neutral about who pays him to publish their opinion ... Oracle, Microsoft, or anyone else with deep pockets

The Sun and its ilk (the UK's so called "red tops") are read by people of a reading age of about 9 -- about the bottom quartile of the population.
Ah that would explain the MP's interest then.
Teletext sets had been getting quite smart - caching commonly visited pages and sub-pages to speed up access.
With the cost of memory now I'm not sure why they didn't just cache the lot. Still its a moot point now.
Id rather a nigger than a toff.

... as they make sure that this sort of thing is not being used to train future terrorirsts.
They should certainly avoid selling the parts to Muslims
FAQ Teletext has some good pictures showing the replacement.

But beer isn't free. I don't understand..
Surely its what they serve with your free lunch?
