This is embarassing to the Linux community as a whole
Actually, it isn't embarassing at all. It wasn't the "Linux Community"'s fault. This is the fault of AMD who anounced/classified the bug as a Windows 2000 issue instead of a hardware issue. Many posters have pointed out that kernel hackers probably don't follow hardware bug reports for OTHER operating systems.
The failing was on AMD's part, and nobody else. But don't get me wrong, I love AMD, and this won't change my overall opinion of them. If things like this continually happen, then I may have to reconsider. But if this is a one time thing, I'm not going to get overly mad, and I hope no-one else does either.
Hell, I'm 18 and I feel like that condescending unix computer user! Not to the extent you seem to, I use ICQ as alot of my friends do, but I think that has alot to do with the age of my friends and the 'net that they were first introduced to. Thing is, while all of them were oggling Napster, I looked at it, and asked "this is better than irc how?" I guess it really depends on how you want to use the net, and what you're willing to learn to do it. I'm so much happier after having switched to pine from Netscape Messenger for my email. When I did that, I actually felt like I was making progress!
As for: Whatever happened to the "talk" command?
Talk is where I turn when ICQ fails. And LICQ has been having it issues lately, with large UINs and what not, so talk has come in very handy indeed.
Looking for the funny...no funny found. Fagot.
$ man -k fagot
fagot: nothing appropriate
Seems about right. I still think calling somone a fagot has got to be one of the dumbest insults around.
I too made it to a midnight showing. And I sat through the first 2 hours of the movie, and loved every minute of it. Then just when I thought nothing could ever go wrong with the movie, it happened.
Apparently, the film that was being fed into the projector jumped, wrapped itself around something, locking a frame in place.
I saw a frame MELT before my eyes on the silverscreen. I now have a free pass to see it again. I'm in pain. Let's hope I have better luck second time around.
Microsoft doesn't care that I went to Meijer [meijer.com] this morning for coffee, and that it was exactly 3.5 miles from my house, and that I walked about 20 steps to get into my place. That's my privacy!!!
That WAS your privacy, as you put it. But now that you put it up here, it's public knowledge for all eternity.
Well, first I'd need a car for this to hold true... BUT!
If I were to walk out to my car, in the morning, in my pajamas, to start it in winter, I might make it to the top of my driveway.
When it's 25-30 degrees celsius below 0, walking outside in pajamas isn't a good idea. I for one, when I can afford car insurance, will be getting a remote starter for exactly this reason.
My memory may be fuzzy, but I seem to remember there being a small explosion at the Atlanta games.
The reason I bring this up is that the article mentions the "great hack of 2000" where it was thought that the Sydney Olympics network would be compromised.
Given the current state of affairs, current legislation, and this soon to be widely publicised network, are we going to be seeing any "Terrorist Attacks" against these games? Seems that it would be a very convenient situation for the US gov to prove the neccesity of the U.S.A. legislation just recently passed.
I'm sure we'll be reading about this in the paper later...
Oh yeah, I can see it now:
Sources have confirmed that after the DoJ provided an email address for the public to comment on the antitrust case involving Microsoft Corp (MSFT), the DoJ servers suffered a Denial Of Service Attack, no doubt propagated by those people in against the case. Industry analysts suggest that the DoJ should take this as a sign to drop the case, or risk further attacks.
I find it rather funny that you choose to reference an article, while trying to prove that the Ali chipset doesn't perform as well as the other boards mentioned in the article, when within the first three paragraphs the article states:
Overall, this board has been a major pain to work with, but you must keep in mind the fact that it is a "PRE-PRODUCTION" board. So, with that being said, it is really not fair to use these results to judge the board that will finally make its way to the retail sales shelf.
Not to mention, they make reference to that fact throughout the article.
I think, that all the [H]ard|OCP article showed, was that the board had potential once refined.
That's all I have to say.
I've managed to get some installers to run properly under wine. The last time I tried it out, the only one I really cared about was Ultima Online. But, I stuck the cd in, mounted it, ran the installer with wine d:\\setup.exe, and it installed just perfectly. You can configure wine to use a specific directory on your HDD as the c:\ drive, and then your cd drive(s) as normal.
Basically, you can set wine up to keep all the Windows stuff contained (read: easily removable).
"proposed a budget satellite for 50K. Boeing said it couldn't be done and gave them 250K. Well now they can build five more because the smart minds on the bay have built one."
OK, so you build one satallite for $50,000, that leaves you with $200,000.... how do you build five more $50,000 satallites with $200,000?
So you want to make more of your cubicle?
It's really something you can't do on your own, and it can't be forced either, you have to set the right mood.
Firstly, you'll need another cubicle, introduce the two, let them get to know each other, and when (if) they hit it off, go down to a local liquor store and get a few bottles of wine, get the office/cleaning staff to clear out, turn the lights down low, play a little Barry White, give them the wine and some premade (please, they needn't worry about cooking) instant noodles (they have more than likely been indoctrinated in the ways of geeks), and let them be.
The problem is, nobody is sure of the gestation period for a cubicle fetus, but I'm sure you could find *something" on google.
Eventually, say, in six months, you'll have a brand new cubicle to do your bidding.
Although he started full time in October, Jon hasn't told his family. "My mom would kill me if she knew."
I can only wonder how many people involved in the tech sector are going to be questioned by their mothers after they have read this article. "Jon, son, you know you can always come to us if you need help, financially. Are you selling porn?"
now if only we could eliminate all-Flash sites as well."
Well, if we want to eliminate all flash sites, we'll just link to em on slashdot, and have nature take it's course. From where I stand, Dack.com is not available.
Because we all now that was unintentional, right Hemos?
I can only wonder who they will try to hold repsonsible for letting them (SDMI) release a falliable watermarkings system. Considering the millions that many stand to loose, could the hacker community be faced with some form of backlash for *NOT* breaking the watermarks, or for boycotting the challenge in general?
I realise there is no legal basis for this, and no one is actually obligated to participate, but, considering the nature of this challenge, and the average understanding of the public of this whole thing, I really worry about there being some call to arms against the community for not breaking it, and letting SDMI fall flat on it's face. I know this is far fetched, but it is an interesting "what if" none the less.

but... but... no!!! She's been with us since the beggining!

Thanks a lot guys, depriving me of my ability to make jabs at what this thing looks like. Thanks a whole bunch!

Overkill? You think slightly glitzed up is overkill? Browse throught this gallery, and tell me most a "slightly-glitzed-up ATX case" is over kill.
No, that site wasn't my summer obsession and didn't inspire a short lived hobby, why do you ask?

It's your website, isn't it?
Pfft. I can't believe I gave you a hit, and maybe have actually help you reproduce!
I officially renounce my traffic on your site! It doesn't count. So subtract 1 from your stats.

I wonder, has it ever been known to happen that the slashdot effect has been applied to an email address?
This is obviously going to end up as one huge mailbomb!
I wonder what mail server they ran...

There are those that will tell you it works exactly opposite this.
You Learn Violence through trying to program in Java!

And this could have been a thoughtful comment. You failed too.

Bad joke, I know, I know.
In other words, we'll never see this. Ever.
"Controllers have not transmitted a hard reset command yet, which would work even with the flight computer crashed,"
Is that like hiting ctrl-alt-delte?
