Yes, but boxes do come in handy from time to time. When you move, do you not try and sniff out where the boxes are (IP to Seinfeld)? It can be useful to have a couple on hand. That is the reason why 'yo mutha' keeps them around.
I agree and would do exactly the same. The problem is, how many units do you have around your tele? I look at mine and see: Digital receiver; original hacked Xbox; Xbox360; Receiver (sound); VCR (yes, I still use it); Clock. This does not include the Ethernet cables to the Linux box stashed in a cupboard as a file server. All require power. Cabling is a mess (but cleverly piled behind cabinets). And now there are going to be HD-DVD and BluRay? Things are getting crowded (unless by stroke of luck I can get an architect in to design my new imaginary house and design a setup for him/her).
Two new units for a technology that may last, what, 5-10 years? When downloaded movies work great and I'm already set up for it.
You would have to separate out the BrandX-haters who make reasonable arguments from people who honestly don't care but have a low opinion of that specific brand. That would be nothing like...
Is the site Java based? Dump that trash, because only bitches use Java.
and people weren't openly ridiculing your choice of footwear... Honestly, who cares if it is popular or not? If it works and is not breaking down, don't change it. This may not be a case of needing a "Superstar programmer" but actually having programmers who are barely competent. How hard is it to learn a platform and language that enables you to find what is breaking in unknown code? And making minor changes to that code to fix it. It's not rocket science. You only need basic debugging techniques and google.
Which proves the man is running a Microsoft product, because he's hiding something. I think he may actually be referring to Apple. But like you pointed out, wants to avoid the fans.
I did medicine when I first started university. I chose it because I came from a small country town and had little knowledge of anything else. My brother had just finished the 6 years (and always wanted to be a quack) and you earn a crap load of cash. Three years later I realised that it definitely wasn't for me.
Fast forward 2 years of "What the fuck am I going to do?" and on a whim, enrolled in a Mathematics degree and an IT degree (we don't have a c.s. course as such) because I recalled always enjoying that stuff (fiddle with stuff by nature, only learn when you break shit). 8 years later and I'm optimising and parallelising scientific codes on SMP and large clusters for a full time job. Am extremely happy.
Point? People will only last so long and be so good in an "in profession". Those who do something for the love of it will stand out like a sore thumb.
Oh, and you must be new here, in soviet russia, imagining a beowulf cluster of these.
It was interesting that that event was publicised after Kevin Rudd had a long private meeting with Rupert Murdock after which, Rupert came on the cameras saying how he thought Kevin Rudd should be the next prime minister of Australia. The strip club incident was exposed (pun definitely intended) by a journalist on the Murdock pay-roll. Hmmmmm.
Especially since some prick will probably steal your stuff at the first possible moment. I recommend anything that just has enough capability you *need* not want. When traveling, expect your shit to be stolen. That way you won't get as upset because you'll be constantly uploading your crucial data to a server somewhere. Having the best will just make you a target. Save your cash.
Because years ago when chip makers were using vacuum tubes, the SI unit dictated the use of the NIPS, which was a useful measurement but made some of the nerds giggle. Apparently, once another measurement was adopted, Moore's law kicked in and everybody was able to move on.
Yes, I used to get tired of updating. However, once I get a working system the way I like it, I remove the non-essential repos (mostly leave just the security ones - occasionally browse the other updates for anything new/worthwhile). The X-Server breaks whenever there is an update, but now have a script I run that automates the process of setting up the way it was.
I'm new to Linux (2 years) and have forced myself to be totally in bed with it. Our clusters and Access Grid machines run RedHat. I needed to know everything about them. Since, the OS has just stuck with me for some reason.
Programming is a much more agreeable world than what it was with Windows. OSX was also a bitch for me for programming. I hated the framework thing (why do they need to change the basics for OpenGL including?) and refuse to code in a language that has only one target platform. Java was behind on OSX.
Sorry, I can't offer any useful help there. I don't use LaTex. (a yum search reveals a lot though - surely there is something in there).
Word of warning before you do it, to save you a lot of time, resize your OSX from the OSX terminal, install rEFIt, install Fedora on free space, THEN remove OSX while having boot into Fedora. It's an incompatibility of grub thing. I didn't look to into it because I was running out of time. Ubuntu does not have this problem.
That's an easy idea in retrospect, but growing up did you ever bug your parents over and over about something until they decided to let you do it? No. Never. Mine were old fashioned and a clip to the ear was the result of asking a second time. Third time was threat. There was no fourth.
I'm reading this for the first time and wonder how long it is before it happens in this country.
She met a boy online who essentially dumped her online. Ignore that it wasn't real because she didn't know that it wasn't. I don't think you can dismiss this that easily. Thirteen year old girls are little bitches because they are still figuring out social skills, what is acceptable and what is not. Neural pathways are still being forged to align with empathy, sympathy and other such emotional responses. Adults, on the other hand, have already developed these skills (for the most part). So while I agree with you from the girl's response to "a boy", the emotional torture behind the "boy" was fully developed as an adult(s).
I'm sure if you emailed Paul, he'd let you know what happened to the previous contests (probably hiding under the data mat at Swinburne. He'd a very down to earth guy and would help you out if possible. His email address is at the top of his home page: http://local.wasp.uwa.edu.au/~pbourke/index.html

I was about to ask: Spot the odd one out "... assembly, Fortran and Visual Basic."
Holy crap! I've just had an epiphany! Sudo is just like 'old jedi mind trick!' Today, work just got interesting.

Hey G, can you change the permissions on those two txt files. 403. Or, is that the point?

I used to love Double Dragon (1987). Beating up people with baseball bats.
Sorry, what were you saying?
I think he missed the point entirely. I wonder whether the "FBI Profiler" had some hidden agenda?

Such is the way of the force.
Wow, your hit-rate is normally distributed. Today will be know as 'mediocre mod day'.

7.10 and 7.04 worked flawlessly. Mine is a first gen machine.

I agree entirely (posting from my macbook pro with only a Fedora install - best of both worlds ... excellent hardware, excellent OS).
