You're clearly running Linux then. Just reboot yourself (make sure to type an -r after shutdown, not -p...), the panic won't return that easily. Oh, and if it does, consider filing a bug report, will ya?
If this hurts your feelings, please forgive me... But have you tried formatting the thalamus and installing a better OS than Windows Embedded? I mean, sure, ThalLinux might boot up slower, but it's more stable, so it won't have to do that as much anymore...
In the long run, this will make Java more portable too. It took the FreeBSD Foundation some serious time lobbying before they could distribute Java as a package. Even from ports (source, for the non-BSDies here), Java is a pain on FreeBSD, because the lack of support, crazy patchwork and the need to download everything by hand, whilst signing agreements.
I really hope that we can look forward to a working, recent Java version on FreeBSD without the old bugs and the trouble with OSS-principles in the near future. Kaffe / Classpath just isn't doing the trick. I wonder what this will do to OpenOffice.org.
It all depends on the license. I do hope this will draw some of the fine folks at Kaffe / GNU / Apache who have done a great job by recoding Java to Java itself. But then, if it isn't the GPLv3, RMS will probably keep screaming for a "real free" reversed engineered version of Java.
You are making the same mistake in thinking as everyone else here seems to make.
Not all of the.cm-zone is redirected to their adsite. yahoo.cm is not, for instance. They are just redirecting everyone who looked up a domain that doesn't exists in.cm.
It's even a question if they are spamming the.com domainspace, or that they are just trying to make money and keep up with the cost by directing all unused zones to said site. I was kinda waiting for DNS-providers and small free ISP's to start with this practice. I'm not surprised, nor annoyed.
The site is not that bad, and at least it loads faster then / as fast as my browser can time out when a non-existant domain is looked up. I won't be more annoyed.
Has anyone ever approached their facilties department and asked for a bigger desk because they don't have the time to tidy it?
For some reason, folk at work think I'm the facilities too. And yes, they keep bugging me to change their desk (in height) whenever they feel like. Maybe it's something in our genes (crosslinked with capability for being sysadmin): Bug me! I want it!
Sidenote: you are absolutely correct. Sysadmins are undervaluated. Secretaries get more day-to-day appreciation, and yet secretary-day is more broadly celebrated. Other odd thing: my wife is a nurse, and there exists a nurse-day here. At her work, secretary-day was celebrated with a day off for all secretaries and activities in a theme-park, payed by management. On nurse-day, there was cake, paid by the workers organization.
When they asked me at work if I would do something on secretary-day, I said no, and explained why. They kinda understood me.
I nearly was. The darn thing couldn't be forced to be friends with our ADSL connection, nor would it handle passive FTP properly. I had it replaced with a m0n0wall x86-PC + el-cheapo Alcatel DSL-modem within two days, and then the boss was happy. Not the best solution, but still good enough.
That was the last time we bought Cisco gear.
(Yes, we had a Cisco-certified technician called in. He fixed the issue with the ADSL (costed him three hours) but couldn't fix the FTP-issue, forcing us to use 56k dialup for online banking. I'm not kidding.)
To apply the brakes you need Administrative privileges. Continue?
Allow this program to apply the brakes? (only do this if you have run the program before, or if you know where it came from)
Windows detected that this program did not brake correctly. (Brake again / It did brake correctly / Cancel)
Windows Firewall has blocked this program from braking. (Keep blocking / Unblock / Cancel)
All updates installed correctly. For some updates to install correctly, you need to reboot your car. Reboot now?
Hi! My name is Clippy. Would you like some help on driving? (Hint! Hint! When you do that hairpin again, try it without braking. Braking is not a registered Microsoft protocol. Would you like me to uninstall the brakes now?)
You have not yet registered your copy of Windows. You have 1 day left to register. Would you like to register now?
WGA has not detected a Genuine copy of Windows on this car. You can keep driving this car, but the brakes will be disabled.
the UI from Vista will make a lot of users cry out in agony.
An I think it'll prove you wrong. All you need is a little force, because users are lazy. They never will go through the hassle of installing XP because the Vista they got with their Dell is to hard to learn. Do the same with N*x + Gnome / KDE and people will make the switch eventually.
The problem is much smaller with the switch to OS X. And I know a lot of avarage Joes who are attracted to the shiny once they had heard from it.
OTOH, if the hypothesis that humans caused global warming is correct, this is definitely not the way to go. It would only be a temporary solution, giving human kind an excuses to further pollute our planet.
I'm terrified by the idea that science is giving us a possible solution without exactly knowing the implications. There are far to many ways in which this could go either wrong or right, IMHO.
You state yourself that there was a long time needed to hear all that there is to tell against RMS. Yet that isn't enough?
Sure, I believe that many here are tired of hearing the arguments against the FSF over and over again, but that does not mean they are less valid. There are nog arguments to tell someone who doesn't want to hear them, but there are those reading/. who do want to hear them. So let's hear them!
Pre-emtive demonizing indeed. The small group of pragmatics that were mentioned as the exception on A, B and C might just have a word for that...
Leave. Please leave... Insensitive clod! I have enough lives already, I can't handle anymore. Besides, I've heard that "out doors" is much harder to play than, say, RuneScape.
Really, just to insinuate that the people in your favorite game are more interesting than the demons I slay everyday... Bah!
Very few members of OSDL are actually kernel-producers. Oracle could well be on their place in OSDL because they could have a certain influence in the direction Linux is heading, as well as paying for it (no small thing to pay Linus).
But my question is: why is MySQL AG not a member? (some above stated they where, as a reason Oracle isn't. Look at the memberlist on osdl.org before making such bold statements)
Or when "producer of Linux" is THE requirement (I think it shouldn't): why are Linspire Inc. and Canonical Ltd. not members?

Well then, off to Flash... Adobe?
Damn funny.

Oh, but nurse-day is allright. Compared to what they must go through every single day, a sysadmins life is pure bliss.

Mind if I disagree? Oh, and it was indeed the first movie. Didn't think clearly, clearly.
here is the reason.
Thanks guys. I'm about to see that movie in a few hours. Hadn't heard anything about the storyline UNTIL NOW!!!

(on-topic: you must admit it's funny that the serpent is even in the minds of the evolutionists
My comment was mean cynical :)
You're forgetting the version bump from 5.2 to 6.0
I find Google to have a very rich user experience. You are forgetting that "experience" is more then just "interface".
Where MSN has a rich user interface (or an ugly one, if you ask me), the experience is "less rich" then it is at Google.

Maybe that's the case right now, but no one should have that right. Economic freedom is the foundation of poverty.
