I heard about this on NPR last night and was amused by two different displays of technological unawareness displayed by the intervewer:
32nm was described as the chip size. Yes folks, the chips are ONLY 32NM big! I mean small!
The interviewer was asking the Intel guy why they were spending a brazillion dollars in this time of economic downturn and just couldn't understand why that was an economically feasible thing to do. Admittedly the Intel guy didn't do a very good job of explaining (higher yield per wafer, killer marketing, industry position), but it was funny to hear the reporter repeat the question in her "shocked" voice.
If you are running Ubuntu it might look like that. Not all distros pop up the same message. Try Debian, for example.
I like the package you mentioned though - I would love a cup of coffee and a back-rub when installing packages. Is that an add-on to Aptitude, or can you only get that with something like Yum?
You have clearly never actually used LEDs in a project. They only achieve full brightness when you have supplied them with full voltage - BUT - they most definitely will give off light at slightly lower voltages.
If you look at this diagram, as long as Vin < Von but Iforward > 0, you will have some light emission.
Well, the most secure configuration is to turn the power off. But I've eliminated that [more] secure configuration because I actually want to use the machine.
It is behind a firewall and a NAT table, and its primary network interface will be used to pull files over a LAN. In this case (and especially considering the older hardware) I just don't see that SELinux overheads are worth the supposed benefit.
Well, its actually pretty standard. I don't work for MS, but we had a similar memo go around. No merit increases, no bonuses, no more 401k matching, at least until the end of 2009.
I have to admit - the next time I install a linux distro, I will be turning SELinux off by default. I installed Linux recently on an old P4 machine, and when I changed some system setting that SELinux didn't like, the machine was brought to its knees.
Not worth the extra processing power on a media box.
Does anyone know if you can change the disk controller's sensitivity (probably by changing a reference voltage or a threshold voltage) by modifying the firmware?
Actually, funny you should ask. I have n brothers (2 < n < 10), and we have always had a problem with telling whose socks were whose (esp. since they all go into the same loads in the laundry). So whenever new socks were bought, our mother would sit down at the sewing machine and quickly put in a couple of colored stitches in each sock - a different color for each son. Viola! (violin!) If you are wearing socks with someone else's color, you are wearing the wrong socks!
Public libraries are a less and less important source of information as time goes forward.
Disagree. Libraries are chock full of peer reviewed information, a quality that much of the information on the web does not share. As wikipedia has shown, a reliable source to compare to can be invaluable.
And the information they do provide tends to be historical and biographical. It's not the scientific or technical information that leads to innovation.
While the information provided may be largely historical, one of the most valuable engineering techniques is reading about what was done before and then improving upon it. There is also a significant amount of technical information available (at least in the local library that I frequent).
Also, you did not substantiate the connection between generic education and innovation.
I don't have to, I never said that a generic education leads to innovation. What I said was that innovation is necessary to drive the economy out of troubled times, and a library is a great (free!) resource to use when you are getting the kind of education that innovation usually requires.
Does an Art History education lead to innovation that fuels economic growth?
Probably not, but I didn't want to hurt your feelings by saying that.
Why does someone need to address your assertions
To avoid sounding like a jerk
when you can't back them up with a factual or logical argument?
As noted twice now, you should have read my argument more carefully before making comments like that.

We don't have a justice system, we have a punishment system. Its been that way for a while.
er . . . aptitude brings up the "gui"; apt-get is the command line tool.

Seems to work ok to me!
No, definitely marinara. All red and tomato-y
. . . and then I read down and saw that other people had already yelled at you about this. Sorry!

There are no more original stories. They have already all been told.
Prove me wrong.
No, no, no good. You actually did some reading before you did some posting. Get out of here. Just go. Leave. You're not wanted here. // jk . . .

Urrr . . . what color is "fat," exactly?

I'm with you on this one.

Lets face it though. If you could join the US Space Force, aka "Star Fleet", you would.
Your keyboard is capable of putting the letters (o, i) in the right order, though.
But my fingers clearly aren't.
Merci pour le correction. Je ne sais pas comment on peut faire des accents avec un clavier QWERTY.

Highly concur.
