Ever get Popular Science(magazine)? There's always an area up in the 'front' of the magazine that hilights nifty new toys. This article is similar to one of those.
There's a fine line between advertising and reporting sometimes. How do I tell you about something new from X company without accidently advertising it (given the purpose of advertising is to inform the public about a new product)?
Quit complaining? I said "It wouldn't compile for me." I didn't bitch, or moan. Just stated a fact. I'd never seen that error before. I looked at the code where it said the problem was, and couldn't figure it out. I *did* hack a little you elitist fuck, and I *didn't* write the authors for help so I don't know who's ass your second comment came out of.

Actually, it was only after IE was integrated into Windows that it became nearly as good as Netscape (IE 4.0).
As for buggy: I'll assume they are equally buggy. HOWEVER, when Netscape crashes, Netscape crashes. When IE crashes, icons disappear, the start-menu tray-icons get b0rked (until W2k that is, they seem to have fixed that now), and open folder windows hang...
It costs a lot more than the price of the OS to upgrade a production system. Custom code must be ported to the new OS, tested, and fought with...
I've got a client who's just now *considering* an upgrade to 2000 (not XP or '03 mind you), and that's after we suggested it to them as a matter of security.
Probably through some statistical analysis of your game-play. I had a co-worker who used to play 'minesweeper' on-line. He was *damn* good, and the site accused him of cheating and disabled his account (thinking no-one was *that* good).
Not always perfect, but cheaters *do* tend to be greedy, and would be obvious to spot.
I wrote an app called LogMon that allows the user to sorta have multiple 'tail -f' sessions in one terminal (does a 'split-screen' effect). Also does syntax coloring in a user configurable file...
There are two types of people in this world (okay, probably more but)... Those with 'drive', and those without.
I'm a programmer, and I also happen to do that for a living. If I weren't hired as a programmer, I would still code. I like vacations away from programming sometimes, but often I wouldn't mind to do some tinkering late at night (yes, even while on vacation).
There are people like this in many professions (math, arts, etc.). Some people just gotta create!
The net effect is still the same though, is it not? Closing the window (even without *exiting* the program) still loses all the tabs and open sites. You can just launch a new Window quicker.
But your intent would decide what sort of sentance you got.
And your analogy isn't good enough. I will resist the urge to create another unworthy analogy too though.
The thing is, how can/. be responsible for linking to a site you made public? *don't* put it on the web if you *don't* want people linking to it. Or block/. referrers. Now this is turning into a rant though...
I think you're being a bit hard on the scientists.
Typically physicists follow a "if the equation predicts obsesrvation, it must be correct" point of view. So if they randomly plug together numbers and variables, and it seems to describe how things work, then it's at least 'probably' true.
I think this calls into question the entire validity of the reported weights though. What if the PowerBoo was originally weighed in kg, whereas the Dell machine was originally weighed in lbs? Somebody is not converting properly, and it can only be known which is which if one knows what units the original measurement is in.

I case you haven't noticed, /. ain't the NY times.

Firewall? Isn't this the same issue one would have with Windows file-sharing?
I'd tried "make CC=gcc296" (don't have 2.9.5) and that gave the same error. Others had suggested removing -Werror, and that seems to have worked.

You could also get advanced access to *porting* code to 9.0...

Your implicit assumption is that we *know* the number of Iraqi deaths.
As you say, this is not a game. When one destroys a building, one must wait to determine what the effect was (if any).
"when lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner."
As an American, I hope (and believe) our troops have the same sentiment.
well, for one I'm proud to be an American (it's not USian), and don't think it sucks at all (why should it?).
As for "unbiased news", you expect we'll listen to someone with a blatent 'anti-american' slant?
Yeah, I know you're a troll. Just frustrated at the latest anti-american 'fad'...

Ahh, I see U.S. bashing is still in season... I guess Saddam is actually a truly gentle man whom everyone would love to live near?
Fucknut.
Flamebait, troll, whatever. I don't care.
*rofl*
Great troll!
Stupid statements like the one about "My Documents" is sure to keep this flame burning.
Aha!
I've found a Mac user!

Since when are the Germans preparing for war?

I had a korn shell script once called "AndysMakefileFixOMatic.ksh"
It's purpose was to fix a common problem in a large tree of Makefiles...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but English isn't Miguel's first language...
What I was noticing was that if you compare 'lbs', the Dell laptop was heavier. BUT if you compare by kg, the Apple laptop was heavier!
Somebody doesn't know how to convert lbs->kg properly...
I think this calls into question the entire validity of the reported weights though. What if the PowerBoo was originally weighed in kg, whereas the Dell machine was originally weighed in lbs? Somebody is not converting properly, and it can only be known which is which if one knows what units the original measurement is in.
