    Why is this funny? Mark it as insightful, intentional or not.
    Even though I think those crazy (in a good way) texans will get there a lot earlier than 2023.

  2. Re:$Revision$ on Multi-User Subversion · · Score: 1

    You also have to set the svn:keywords property, like this:
    svn propset svn:keywords "lastchangeddate lastchangedrevision" [file]

    Actually, X does not manage the windows. It only does rendering and user input.

    Uhh, it looks fine to me.. Anyway, you can find more nifty things to try out here

    Or you could try zsh. I use this prompt, which
    does the same thing: '[%B%n%b@%B%m%b]-[%B%3~%b]%# '

    IIRC, if you define a DTD for your page, mozilla switches to standards compliant parsing.
    Otherwise it tries it's to handle old/buggy HTML.

    "You just ask the leader of the mission, Harry S. Stamper [...]"

    You didn't see it to the end, did you? ;-D

  10. Re:Hard drive Partioning on Death to the 3.5" Floppy? · · Score: 1

    I thought you can take the bootable floppy image, burn it on a cdr[w] and boot it?

    Umh, it is not.

    The bit about 128bit color is probably true, 32 bits per channel can be really useful when using various blending modes and pixel shaders.
    It also says you can choose what depth your framebuffers are, 8, 16 or 32 bits per channel.
    The output precision is supposed to be 10 bits per channel.

  13. Re:OH MY on Maverick Rocketeers Pursue Space Access · · Score: 1

    You probably only want to see the Space Frontier '01 and Space Access '02 videos. They kind of capture all the best bits anyway.
    Besides, they have better things to do with their money that to pay for the bandwidth.

  14. Re:I think he's trying to say... on Photonic Structure Increases Light Bulb Efficiency · · Score: 1

    That just doesn't compute.

    Sorry, but that's an urban myth. See this for more information.

    Maybe that's what sony means with the biotech stuff. No need to engineer hardware, just turn the kids
    into biological computers. ;-)

  18. Re:Waiting to happen? on Bug in zlib Affects Many Linux Programs · · Score: 1

    You don't have to upgrade 20+ packages to fix this, unless they are statically linked. Most programs use the shared libraries AFAIK.

    Yes, it's pretty neat. :-)

    I seem to recall that he said in an interview that
    he doesn't feel that computer graphics are as challenging anymore.

    The learning curve is real steep, but when you get to the top, well, it get _real_ tough. No one to rely on and so on. So he
    went to rocketry to get back the feeling of making discoveries and gaining insight.

    Maybe this will even affect his code. I know my code is affected by strange stuff I learn. :-)

    Exactly, what should one do? I mean, I'm a finnish citizen and I really don't think they'd care a rats ass if I wrote to J. Random US Congressman. It makes me mad that US can make up silly laws that make things harder for everyone else. Hmm.. maybe I should start my own "internet" ;)

    Maybe it's just me, but /. is a bit too "americanized". Maybe we should have a poll. How many of you are american citizens?
