Yes, I had 5.1 on a USB stick. After resume, my laptop's keyboard would not work anymore. No amount of documentation reading or googling solved that (the paper you kindly linked is one of the documents I remember reading).
I even signed up to a mailing list to report the bug, but never got a reply; so I finally gave up.
The only sorts of people satisfied with a smart phone or an ipad rather then a proper computer never really used the computer properly in the first place.
That describes something like >90% of the general population, IME.
Until there's a vulnerability in something you installed and you then need to upgrade. Then you're pretty well fucked and are going to likely end up with a mess of broken dependenies and/or substantial downtime while you upgrade.
Not if you know what you're doing. Your described PEBKAC.
Jesus did say a few things that, when taken out of context, can be thought of as anti-marriage or anti-family, but most of those were metaphors for other things.
LOL... so typical of christians! Jesus and/or the Bible say something inconsistent or just plain wrong? Hey, that's a metaphor! It doesn't mean what's written, it means something else that is right or acceptable!
The church held a monopoly because nobody else was interested.
The reason why they had a monopoly has nothing to do with my point. They did, and that spurred the consequences I'm discussing.
Why don't you do yourself a favour and just admit to yourself that you have prejudice and that your fear of religion is based on ignorance?
You're wrong on all counts. First of all, I have no "fear of religion". Contempt is more like it. It's not based on ignorance, because I know the christian religion better than 95% of christians (and that percentage comes from personal experience). Lastly, it's not based on prejudice, but on factual evaluation of the many failures of religion vs. logic and science.
I cannot argue you into changing your mind.
That's right, you can't. And that's because your belief has no rational basis.
You seem to have a problem with cause-effect relationships. The monks were the only chroniclers because the church held a monopoly on education. Probably, without the church's monopoly, there would have been non-religious chroniclers who would have reported the facts without religious interpretations.
The chroniclers were all monks. Your underwear is showing.
That's because the church held a monopoly on education. If that weren't the case, the chroniclers wouldn't have been monks and the chronicles would have been more accurate. Your cowardice is showing.
Unlikely. Back then, every BASIC interpreter (certainly all of those for 8-bit home computers) used to "tokenize" commands to save costly RAM (and CPU cycles on interpretation, too). Tokenization usually meant translating every command to a 1-byte index to a lookup table. That's what is called "bytecode" nowadays.
Mr. Roberts' claim proves too much. Let me show you why using analogy with mathematics, as I'm particularly fond of mathematics. Let's suppose I believe that there exists precisely one even prime, and analogously that precisely one god exists. Let's suppose furthermore that Mr. Roberts believes that no even primes exist, and analogously that no god exists.
So you to took a provable mathematical fact and compared "believing" in it to believing in a god. And you probably think you're smart, too!
So, if we find out that a handful of corrupted people employed a dirty tactic, what should follow? Sure, let's convict those guys but after that... Should everyone stop voting for the party they felt to represent them the best, because of a couple of bad apples?
"A couple of bad apples"? Are you serious? You might want to study some recent history. It's always the conservatives spying on people and generally pulling dirty tricks. They're the scum of this world.

...if only ACPI suspend/resume worked well.
Linux gets it right, why can't the BSDs? Actually, I haven't tried it with NetBSD, maybe I will.
We're not starting, we have more than 50 incineration plants. The incinerator in Brescia has been burning trash and warming homes since 1998. It even won the WTERT industry award in 2006.
Why don't you get your facts straight before commenting?
Italy does have incineration plants and recycling facilities. Although it's true that there is still way too much reliance on landfills.
Americans sure are obsessed with their president.
If Linux were as popular as Windows, do you believe it would still be more immune to malware than the Microsoft OS?
"wouldn't of" + "what" instead of "which" + "eachother" + "noones" + wrong capitalization + bad punctuation = You find the joke "clever".
That describes something like >90% of the general population, IME.
If you want dependency tracking, you can install pkgsrc for Linux, as I did.
To anyone who really digs the Slackware way, the concept of a distro-mandated packaging system simply doesn't make any sense.
Not if you know what you're doing. Your described PEBKAC.
Yes, it is. Being as close as possible to "vanilla Linux", Slackware never needed much specific documentation of its own.
As a Slackware user, I'm actually a bit surprised at this piece of news.
Newspapers of the time could have obtained the same results without any plagiarism (e.g. by hiring field correspondents).
The alleged cause-effect relationship exists only in the author's obviously underpowered mind.

This is NOT "Conway's game of life". I rushed frantically to TFA in disbelief, only to be disappointed.
Are your misleading titles and summaries a pathetic attempt to prove you can still pull a "slashdot effect" on sites nowadays?
Be warned, your readership's patience is not endless. Mine certainly isn't.
Lamers.
No, there is not. It's just a silly semantic trick.
People kill people? Yeah, using guns.

By the chroniclers of the time. Your religiousness is showing.
More likely, the event would have been recorded more objectively without all the religious bullsh^Wovertones.
Experimental evidence is always welcome, but to me this article's title sounds a lot like a tautology.
A new study finds that intelligence can decrease stupidity! Maybe the two teams could join forces.
