    It looks like some software and hardware companies have figured out how to do it.

    I think the safest thing for you to do is buy more SCO stocks

    Unless the package is compiled against a different glibc.

    For example: testing stayed at 2.3.6 while sid moved to 2.5.

    Now their both at 2.6.1 so there is no problem, but that was not always the case.

    I find running straight sid easier to maintain than a mixed system testing / sid.

  12. Re: Why they look at the dumb receipt on Man Arrested for Refusing to Show Drivers License · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I used to be a theater manager (I know - wow!)

    A typical scam was tearing the movie ticket at the box office register and then selling the next customer the other have of the ticket.

    As log as the usher was away from his position (and the customer did not notice their ticket said theater copy) it was an easy scam.

    At $8 a ticket in a 10 stadium theater, one could easily "earn" an extra thousand a shift.

    The trick was to make sure that you did it for different movies. Cashiers would be caught when a theater sold out but the system only reported it half full.

    Walmart doesn't highlight every receipt in San Antonio. They don't even stop most the customers unless that alarm goes off.

    Costco is the only store I've seen practice this.

    The thing is, standing with the man who cheated on her does look bad.

    Before you mod me done or shove a hundred cheating conservatives at me, there is a reason why. Hilary stands as a role model to all woman. She has set herself up in that position. I don't know if feminist is still a pc word, but it was a word that described her in the past.

    Now she has shown that she needs a man to keep her career going.

    Now you can mod me as a troll :)
