By and large, in my corporation, the IT department takes a "We control all attitude." We're not even a tech-company. We make engines.
It pisses me off everytime I need an application or tools that are only available for Linux, or Linux could just do the job better, and I can't use it because IT says no.
Corporate IT departments need to realize that they are there to SUPPORT, NOT TO CONTROL its users.
Until they realize that, I will be completely 'ignorant' of what they want (be it ColdFusion, WebSphere, HP-UX or WinNT) or of their supposed standards.
If the planets are rotating at a constant speed relative to the Earth, we will eventually be able to travel to them via telegraph wire with RFC-0001 MORSE-CODE protocol.
This rare event could only take place because of heavy machinery polluting our air with toxic fumes.
I think MRAM will get some major industry backing when Microsoft realizes that it will stop all those complaints about having to reboot Windows continuously:)
Just why do you think this will help Microsoft at all? The whole reason you had to reboot in the first place was beacuse Windows fscked up in memory and didn't know quite what. Rebooting the computer would mean this: After sitting through your BIOS test sequence, you are presented with a Blue screen.
Actually, that was during the episode where Sam and Al got switched. Since Al still had the controller of Ziggy in his hand when they were switched, Sam couldn't use it to tell them to open up. (One wonders why they wouldn't have just opened it up after a certain amount of time anyways). Yours truely, Sam Beckett
You are thinking on very elementary terms, my friend.
You wouldn't will the mouse to move-- there would be no need for a mouse, or a cursor. Second, there would be no need for such childish thing as bash prompts-- instead you would just think of what you want done and the computer will do it.. (i.e., How many times does the letter e appear after the letters R, S or T in all of my text files beginning with the letter Q).
And if they ever perfect the reverse--- controlling your thoughts via quantum states-- you wouldn't even need a monitor. You could actually READ AN ENTIRE KATZ article in one day!
PKZip was shareware and NO ONE ever paid for it. Maybe he was a dismissal financial failure and paid for it with his life. That's too bad. If only he used the GPL.
I've been using PayMyBills.com for the last six months or so--
You change all of your billing addresses to PayMyBills' address, and they actually scan your bill and enter it into their system...
Which lets you.. View your bill, pay X dollars, Tell them what day to process it (usually gets mailed same day), etc.. They even warn you if the date you entered would make the bill late, or if the amount you pay is not enough.
Because I was one of the first subscribers to their service, I was awarded a free lifetime subscription ( I think ) that allows me to pay up to twenty-five bills a month. I am very happy with the service!

The "graph" of primes does NOT make a pattern! If it even remotely resembled a pattern, we wouldn't have all of this hub-bub about finding primes.... Here is a graph of the first 15
I don't think it's really a bug-- you have to actually click on your correct "keymap" during the installation (instead of just clicking "next" when the one you want is highlighted-- just because it's highlighted doesn't mean it's activated).
They even give you a text box to try it out on, too.... Shame on you for clicking "next" too fast.
You can not have anything rotating circularly forever. This is because circular rotation requires an acceleration (even if it is not changing speeds, it is always changing directions), hence requiring a Force (Force = mass * acceleration).
Objects in space can move forever because there is no notion of zero velocity, no point of reference, so to speak. Travelling 400 miles per hour in space (constantly) feels like standing still here (accept of course, the changing background of the planets).

Get real.
And don't forget that the Earth is realllly big. Less than 1 per cent of the surface is still a shit load, yo?

If only they had a 32-bit x86 simulator that ran on 64-bit machines, Micorsoft could finally port Windows to 64-bit platforms!
Wouldn't they need a 16-bit emulator first?
Why don't you just compile the sources and release the BSD binary yourself/
I find it very, very funny that when I clicked your link, I was presented with a page and a banner ad. The banner ad was Amazon's.
Get real.
Ten to one they hacked the web servers up so they would report false information.........
Especially you, Garp. You wrote your comment on the wrong story.

Why do you write crap?
Thanks you. Thanks you very much.
PitImp,
Your signature rocks, but you still suck at Magic.

Actually, they wont display them fine-- at least Netscape wont.
If you have a CSS element defined for elements, and you don't close them- Netscape wont render it with the proper CSS element

ArsDigita uses Tcl instead of Perl or C or whatever because that is the language the AOLServer uses.
ArsDigita is built around the AOLServer. AOLServer uses Tcl.

I doubt it for two reasons......
1) If his 'driver' had access to the password file, why did it waste time by sending it one bit at a time??
2) If the people that ran that system trusted him SO greatly to..... not check his driver code?
Anyways, that wasn't a very incredible feat, imho.
It's two system calls (i.e., read and chmod on the driver side and a lstat? on the client side).
That, my friend, is from a previous slashdot story about legos-- the automatic machine gun built entirely from legos..
Who ever made it had some[body|thing] make the instructions in postscript.
You misread the article.
They aren't suing the norwegain-- they are suing a New York web publisher who refuses their requests to remove the deCSS source code.

BUT!!!
The double helix isn't symetrical along the perpendicular line of rotation-- which means angular momentum does not apply.
I think.
You can not have anything rotating circularly forever. This is because circular rotation requires an acceleration (even if it is not changing speeds, it is always changing directions), hence requiring a Force (Force = mass * acceleration).
Objects in space can move forever because there is no notion of zero velocity, no point of reference, so to speak. Travelling 400 miles per hour in space (constantly) feels like standing still here (accept of course, the changing background of the planets).
