There was a kernel bug on (I think) the 7.04 CD that caused timing on Intel Core Duo (not Core 2) CPUs to hang for a long time. Try letting it sit for a couple hours (there's also a boot option, but I don't recall it), then do a semi-quick apt-get update && apt-get upgrade. Of course, using 8.04 is an option too.
Sure, the US is handing out a shitload of money to poor countries. Since US is heavily indebted, just who's money are they giving away? This statement assumes multiple things:
1) that the U.S. Government is the one doing the charitable giving, not its citizens.
2) that the U.S. Government is borrowing more from other countries instead of from U.S. citizens.
3) that it's wrong to give away money one has borrowed.

Iron Man Released

Then you haven't read about how his powers changed into electrical powers and he split into two people.
Um okay just where does iron man keep his rocket fuel? Positional thrusters? Technically, it's repulsors. And the positional repulsors are on the palms of his gauntlets (also weaponry).
I just want to know if this movie's suit has the retractable roller skates. Those were hawt.
When one's brain goes wonky, sometimes comfort is all one cares about.
I took a few good whacks to the head in my youth, and my first response was always utterly dumb. One time, despite bleeding profusely, I wanted to stay by my mangled bike so no one could steal it. Thankfully, my friend was able to think straight for me.
With other accidents, I always sought medical care, although I had a fever once that rendered me stupid for the duration.
The whole point of video games is to do things that you couldn't possibly do in real life safely. Including things which are criminal. Indeed the title of the game (and the three which came before it) is a criminal act. Devil's Advocate:
We've already got games that allow (and encourage) the players to do worse criminal acts like murder, human sacrifice, and cannibalism (NetHack). How far will society let this trend go? What if GTA V includes ways to do truly despicable things like rape, serial killing, cannibalism, stalking victims? What if the victims of the above crimes are children or animals?
The debate already occurred, the pro-temperance side had their chance to try out their side in reality, and it was a disaster. So I'm going to say with hubristic confidence that a temperance union is a bad idea. Just because Prohibition failed doesn't mean a temperance union is a bad idea. There are some people that can't hold their liquor. A (lame) temperance union can show them that there's a path through life without alcohol. Think of it as a more active AlAnon, with picket signs; it keeps the members energized and focused on not drinking (which may very well be a good thing for society in general).
I'm not sure how power-down information retention relates to pattern-matching abilities. It doesn't. The fact that each memristor can store from 0.0 to 1.0 (not just 1 or 0) means that it's got built-in capability for fuzziness.
Hmm, I wonder if a loop of something similar (with a longer lifespan) might be useful for yea old printed log files (the ones continuously printed to prevent against adulterated logs). Since a lot of them are shredded when their electronic versions are deleted...
It will be interesting to see what the popular desktop distros do... RHEL, SLE, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSuse, etc.
If they use Funpidgin or Pidgin... (I predict FP in Fedora, openSuse, but P in RHEL, SLE, and Ubuntu)
If they use Pidgin, will they add the resize plugin by default to please their user-base? (I predict P2.3+sec patches in RHEL, so non-issue, maybe same in SLE, and P2.4+plugin in Ubuntu)
With the exception of the few remaining totalitarian regimes, government can no longer change and shape information as a form of control. But I think the days of hold-back dictatorships like North Korea and Cuba are numbered and the numbers are dwindling. I wonder if this article makes it past The Firewall. You know the one I mean.
If you have Eight or X Cores, Couldn't one or two (or X-1) be dedicated to run MESA (or a newer, better, software GL implementation)? IIRC, SGI's linux/NT workstation 350's had their graphics tied into system RAM (which you could dedicate huge amounts of RAM for), and they worked fine.

But you do see Racer X say "Oh No! Speed!" and look like he's crapping his pants for Speed when Speed's in trouble.
Agreed; this must only look correct in IE. FF2 on Linux has his eyes shifted, a hole in his head, a bulge on his neck, and his nose is split in two.
Just say you use BSD with a proprietary UI on expensive, but stable hardware. Most of us male geeks have been fooled worse by women.

Sounds like they captured the character from the comic book perfectly.

Now Tony can use Memristors too! So his future suit won't require boot-up times, and can have an AI that is human-level via pure circuitry.

You can't take on the sins of the world and get away completely scott free.
emacs is RMS' baby. "better" is an argument for vi vs emacs debates.
But this uses emacs!

Awesome, I'll take your double-u idea, and instead write it with two V's = VV Eat that, PitaBred.
New editor foolishly posted a story with the /. comment thread as the main link. The slashdot effect took hold, and the editor has been sacked.
That's better than "The Web, goatse"
