I don't know if this is a MySQL weakness or bad admin work.... but I do know that this does not happen on Postgres.
We've had a many a postgres running machine suffer through unplanned reboots without anything more complicated after the restart than deleting a lock file.
I've seen applications (big and popular ones) use tables instead of sequences (Oracle). Yeah, lock entire table, read row, increment value, update row, unlock table is much faster than a sequence when you have a hundred concurrent users doing updates... Brilliant design, but I guess it runs on all the databases they want to support.
If you've ever used sequences under old versions of Sybase, you'd understand why some of those goofy hacks come into play. There usually are better solutions to the "auto-generated id" problem than relying on a crappy db implementation of one (though admittedly, the Sybase example is an exception).

Ok, so non-LHS stuff is great!

In the US sales tax is disclosed separately from the product cose. Sales tax is generally less than 10%.
In the US, Sales tax on GAS specifically is always included in the price quoted by the station. The Gas tax is a federal ~18%, plus state tax that is usually at least 12%, for a total of >%30.
Do you think that's a coincidence?
Personally, I'd rather keep the fact that people have to be aware of how much taxes they are paying while buying products.

Trillian 3.0 Released

> The last time I tried this, running Trillian in Wine brought down the whole computer. I've been very leery of Trillian, and repeating the experiment, ever since.
Have you upgraded your kernel, X, or drivers since then? Running on Linux, those would be the only possible causes of the above (and X only because of video drivers). This is definitely not Wine or Trillian's fault.
I don't think the Slashdot mention above meant what you thing it means. Maybe they are not interested in a Linux port, but perhaps they reevaluate the option of providing Linux and MacOS support from time to time (they've obviously helped the GAIM folks quite a bit).
Perhaps it would still be useful to mention your desire to purchase a Linux copy, anyway? If they ever did decide to, it would at least help to estimate sales.
Of course (as always) be polite when doing so. Believe it or not, most users know this.
Can't agree.... IE has generally started quickly for me, but recently I've found it to be quite slow on low-memory machines. I've got a 2.4 Ghz Celeron here with 128 MB (and XP SP2) that just clocked in at close to 20 seconds.
Hate to reply to my own post... but here are the hardware requirements for those not yet able to get to the site...
CPU: Pentium or betther (Yes AtheOS use Pentium only instructions and will crash and burn on a 486)
Chipset I have tested AtheOS on a few machines, and seems to run vel on everyone.
Video adapters S3 Virge and Matrox Mill1/Mill2/g200 have native drivers and are hardware accelerated. AtheOS can also use any video card that support Vesa 2.0. This will ofcourse be un-accelerated and dog slow!! The matrox driver is pritty generic and may work for other Matrox cards aswell. The cards listed is the one it is tested on and found to work with. I also tested it on a G400, and it kind-of worked but I had to install a Vesa extention and the blitter could not blitt backwards so I could only move windows in one direction:)
Mouse: Standard serial and PS2 mices should be ok.
Network: NE2000 PCI or EISA.
Disk There is an IDE driver on it's way (Only tested on one machine, and not part of the current distro). But generally all disk access is done through the BIOS, so most IDE and SCSSI disks should work. I even boot AtheOS from my panic ZIP disk every now and then.

Good news! Evolution for win32 is on the way! The last that I heard, Novell was even pushing a port directly.
How do you know that Microsoft's RDP server implementation works differently from this?
Actually these guys are very close to having one that works like that, and I'm pretty sure they are not Microsoft.
I know I've seen them in stores, but try Gateway and eMachines to see for yourself.
Me too.... I'm pretty sure it's been quoted at closer to 37:1.

Actually, that has been EOL'ed.
All of this assumes that your electric heater being used for comparison is using heat strips.
Heat pumps are usually far more efficient (depending upon ambient temperature).
Mod parent up.... it is 65 MPH of force.
How do you know he doesn't already live near them? I support nuclear power, and I do live within a few miles... of two of them.
There are several alternatives:
All Tray
KDocker (not kdes specific either)
That's a bunch of bunk. OS/2 could be crashed by bad drivers, just like any other OS.
Well, Gentoo Stats has some guesses (times approximate, of course).
Mozilla Firefox - 48 minutes
KDE - ~8 hours (more or less depending upon packages)
OpenOffice - 5:42 minutes
And, you could always get the binary builds of firefox or openoffice. Binaries are always available for the big packages.
Funny thing is, this is actually better than it used to be.
I remember when it seemed like every other day they would post the same story twice SAME day.

Ok, following LHS is great!
Er, which is it?

I think Firefox on the same machine is around 10.
An assignment to null in Java is used to indicate a manual override of the null checking. This is to make complex cases work, such as:
...
String s;
if (someConditionWhichMightBeTrue) {
s = "blah";
}
if (someConditionWhichMightBeTrue) {
s.length();
}
That will through a compiler error if you do not at explicitly indicate that you know what you are doing by declaing:
String s = null;
I'll second that. Especially after the wanton destruction of Meigs Field.
Yes, but from where shall he take off, now that Meigs Field (CGX) has been all carved up by the Evil Mayou Daley, and his goons?
