You know, just the other day I saw an unemployed open source programmer by the side of the road holding a sign that said "Will Program for Prescriptions"
On my Debian system, I don't install any kernel packages or headers at all. I get the source and compile it myself, in the same way that everyone else does (not the Debian way - compiling the source through the packager).
This works just fine. Woody has absolutely no problems with the 2.4 kernels, so if you want to go that route, you should be fine.
When Potato became the stable distribution, everyone said that they should have waited just a tiny bit longer, because Linus was supposed to release the new 2.4 kernel any day now. It turned out that the 2.4 kernel was delayed, and if Potato had waited for it, it would have been far too long.
There are thousands of packages in Debian. If any single package upgrade is not ready for the release, it's not fair to the other packages and their maintainers to make them wait. If you want to have more up to date stuff on your system, then when Woody becomes stable, don't change your/etc/apt/sources.conf file to read stable. Leave it at testing, and you'll get the new KDE and Gnome very soon.
Actually, no. It's the truth. I just got a Celery 1100 for the one and only reason that Mozilla was not fast enough. In another 4 years I'll probably upgrade again for a similar reason.
AOL was the first destructive force on Usenet. (spammers were the second).
Everyone who is happy to see these bastards writhing around please follow up with a "me too". And then post something stupid. And then someone else followup (without quoting the original article, or if you do, get the attributions all wrong) with a heartly LOL, or even a ROTFLMAO.
AOL losers make me sick. I never saw a Henry Spencer post with LOL in it.
That's a gcc error. Some compilers do a slightly better job (I'm thinking of Visual Age for C++ on AIX machines) of formatting the errors, but they are usually about as long.
Believe it or not, eventually you do learn how to read them without much trouble.
Not true. You can stick pointers into the containers with as much ease as putting objects into the containers. The problem you have is freeing all the pointers when all the references go away.
I use the Boehm collector, a custom allocator, and specializations of the containers to solve that problem. If you read a good STL book, they will probably solve that problem with smart pointers.
Don't do this! Every STL programmer knows the idiom string foo="";
If you #define NULLSTR "" somewhere in a header, you just waste someone's time when they have to go look up what it is. There's absolutely no reason to make that definition. Reminds of the time I saw code where someone had
#define ONE 1 #define TWO 2 #define THREE 3
etc. There's no point in it other than obfuscation.
Just to add to the parent... That's right. STL does not use virtual functions. In fact, STL is not an object oriented library at all. It's generic programming, and it's the coolest thing that I have seen for C++ ever. (Now is the place where LISP programmers can shout out that they've been generic for 40 years.)
I got my card at the store, and they handed me the form. They told me to fill it out with my information and return it. I threw it in the trash, and the card still works.
Good. For many of the things I do, I don't want to see another human. Bank tellers are slow, and they are sometimes rude. I can get my money out of an ATM in 30-45 seconds, just by swiping a card and pushing a few buttons. Bank tellers require me to fill out a slip of paper with my account number on it (just where the hell did I put that account number anyway) and they want my signature. Very annoying.
When I play a good game, I play it for years. I'm still hooked on Age of Empires and X-Plane. In a few years when I get tired of those, I'll buy new games.
So, I wonder - do you just get bored with games, or do you buy them for some other reason?
All I did was ask a simple question. I don't know about radio stations. That's why I asked the questions. So I ask myself what you suggested, and I get the answer: I don't know.
That's why I asked the question!
I find it strange that I was marked up insightful, because I don't know a damn thing about radio stations.

As always, US TV took a good idea and sanitised it for the masses.
Even with the sanitization, Max Headroom was much more complicated and demanded more of the audience than anything else on TV.

He should have been the Captain of the Enterprise instead of that Quantum Leap guy. Imagine the xenobiology possibilities...
I just retired my Celeron 300A. It was sweet for C++ and Python programming. But it had to go because Mozilla just didn't seem very snappy.

That's not nice. You should apologise.
I am fairly certain that I did not purchase Crossover for THIS.

I can see it now: Jar Jar vs. Godzilla.
Goodwill Computing in Austin, TX. Fun place to visit. I'm taking my old server (or parts of it at least) there this afternoon.

Now that would be a spectacular stunt, and with all the slashdotter here doing it, we might just get that link into the top rankings of google.
So, please, don't click on this link, it's just for google:

I'm from Michigan but living in Texas now. Similar weather.
As I recall, those horrible winters were a hazard for about 10 months out of the year. But it wasn't so bad -- it was a DRY cold.
I never liked the encumberance rules anyway.

I did RTFA.
And to emphatically emphasize...
Why the FUCK do you need to use a minidisk? Why the FUCK won't tape work just fine?
