At first I thought that “Oh Just One” referred to the fact that there can be only one search engine (as in “there can be just one”), but I’m fairly sure it means “O Just One” in the sense of a person who is just, based on my limited Arabic.
And here I was thinking about what you say when offered a box of chocolates.
The thing I love most about Slashdot is that they wait until I've completely forgotten reading a story before they post it, so its like a whole new experience.
Slashdot: news for amnesiacs, stuff that... whatever.
No. The Linux kernel still requires GCC to compile.
Sure about that? There are non-gnu compilers, both free and non-free. If I build the system with DECC have I created DEC/Linux? Linux doesn't need a compiler to run.
I think his point was that we have the choice between one open and barely capable kludge and one closed but broadly supported and well understood kludge.
Personally I would rather buy a crutch for my broken leg so it can heal, then have a sprained ankle that I was "free" to walk on day after day until my foot fell off. Oops, sorry, I am taking BadAnalogyGuy's job away from him...
No, actually, you just revealed BadAnalogyGuy's secret identity
(Could we get a Linux version of IrfanView? I don't suppose IrfanView would run under wine in a way that would play well with GIMP, Inkscape, and Blender... but has anyone tried this?)
IrfanView does run well under wine. In fact, it's one of the few useful windows programs that does, in my experience.
But I can't speak to how well it plays with others.
Thing is, quite cheap and rather small laptops based on Intel CULV chips showed up recently; some of them certainly can do 10h, perhaps there are some with 12h. And they are fast, if needed.
Speaking of technical flaws and Lisa... You could plop the boot drive into the Dumpster, and it would format it. The tech savvy devs who designed the "drag-to-trash = format" function never imagined that users would be stupid enough to do something like that!
Even my IIci, bought in 1991 or so, had a similar bug: if you dragged the boot drive to the trash, it would "eject" it (logically, not physically), rendering the system useless until you rebooted. (The drive was not factory installed, so it might have been a driver issue that Apple was not responsible for.)
I am SO swinging that phone from the rooftop... Let them figure that one out! Or tossing it across the road to a friend on the other side. Yes boss, as a matter of fact I can fly!
Centrifuge it, and tell your boss you'll finish that code module after you return from the space station.
The windows registry is a hierarchical system of configuration settings (with parts that are global for the machine and parts that are local to the user), and/etc is a hierarchical system of configuration settings (contained in text files)... Where's the big difference?
The difference? grep, sed, find, diff, git, tar, rsync,....
I can say that I have met some Jewish people with questionable business morals, but then again I've met people with NO religious beliefs that are far worse.
A qualified use of an ugly stereotype? Perhaps you mean well, but that's just diluted bigotry.
"Regardless of insurance premiums, there is the cost of basic emergency services: police, ambulance, emergency room. These costs will be incurred regardless of the insurance status of the injured party (and I hope we keep it that way)."
And I'd put it to you that wearing a helmet or not isn't going to affect these either...police and ambulance will still come either way.
Sure, but what's the cost of dealing with a major head trauma, vs. the cost of "I got up and walked away"? I would be surprised to hear that the former was less than US$5000, just for the emergency room, not counting long term cost.

I'm not advocating, I'm asking: is this what you would want from "Gnubuntu"?

Have some tasty Internets?
Oh, just one.
What does this article have to do with white fishy pervs? Some days tagging just does not make sense to me.

I know that place! I'm going there in November to drop off some kind of ballot thingy.

While I am pretty sure there are compilers that will compile other languages into Java byte code, I suspect it isn't done all that frequently.
Jruby and Scala have gotten a fair amount of attention, and there are many others: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_JVM_languages.
It's no good, I can't moderate!
The earth was created by god. god was created by a giant frog. the giant frog was created by robotic jesus.
And all those lies were created by man, in particular, certain individuals who where trying to control the rest of the population.
You can't fool me, Mr. James. It's frogs all the way down.
This doesn't change the fact that WAY more people complain about ubuntu f$cking their machine than everyone else combined.
Probably more people complain about the common cold than about the black death. Your point?
No. The Linux kernel still requires GCC to compile.

We finally understood the universe, so it has been replaced with something even more perplexing.
This already happened long ago....

Yup: http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/11/asus-ul80vt-review. I have a UL80vt, and get about 9-10 hours reliably (both linux and win7), and that's while running overclocked by 33%.

Also, I'm in the market for a new toaster. Can a nerd get some info, eh?
You may have to wait a while, if you get your news here:
Anonymous sources in Cupertino today leaked the specs of the iToaster to be released April 1, 2011....

Xfinity sounds like it should be the name of a sports car company... or perhaps an adult film company.
Sup dawg, we heard you like porn so we put xfinity in yo xfinity so you can xfinity while you xfinity.
... So kids born in early July were the result of an an April fools joke involving contraception that was tampered with?
Actually, there was an accident involving a contraceptive and a time machine.
