Odds of getting the flu, feeling like absolute crap for a week The few people I know that have had H1N1 reported that they actually felt like crap for more like a month, The initial 'flu symptoms' passed after a week, but they were left f

At a guess, Liability. For Yahoo to state that they'd be keeping an archive of geocities up, there would be legal issues about what kind of guarantees they're giving, legal state of the sign-up 'contract' that people entered into when they

How could I have known OJ was involved with covering up the moon landing hoax without geocites? I forgot how much fun random readings of goecites could be. OJ was in Capricorn One, which many of the moon hoax nuts think is a documentary a

I wonder which Labour sponser lobbied for this. None of them per se. This is Mandelson's baby, of course the fact that he's been in bed (pun or telling?) with hollywood execs over the last few months, tells you a lot. Labour knows they're

Actually, no, they didn't. If we believe the official story 100%, then they merely plotted to do so, but never actually attempted it (they did, however, according to the official story, 'smuggle' non-volatile liquids on in a dummy run, with

I disagree, I use emacs with vertical splits (ie 1|2|3 layout) and 16:10 and 16:9 is great for that, also it means that spreading over onto the second (16:10) monitor isn't a change in layout policy. I could never go back to 4:3 layout for

They'd probably do well to have a seperate 'technical search' for searching for things related to technical matters, eg programming languages, physics, chemistry, medicine, engineering, etc. And remove the casual stuff (facebook, myspace, p

It has certainly gone waaaay south since day 1, that much is undeniable. Of course, a large part of that is that the internet has gotten a lot more useless filler in those years, and this has of course made 'relevant search' an astronomical

No, sparc.org is the right domain, most likely someone thought it funny to report sparc.org (although google's malware interception page states that it's been reported several times over the last couple of months, so maybe Sparc Intl. reall

One of the odd things about SSRIs that I learnt recently... I was reading up on peripheral neuropathy, since I'm suffering some nasty nerve damage in my feet due to diabetes, and discovered that SSRIs are one of the most effective treatment

It was probably necessary, the only other options would have been to continue with the VM-T which the soviets were using for the same task on smaller space parts, or the An-124. The VM-T would have been underpowered for the Buran, it was re

I'm not sure why it's a surprise to these people, MS announced a couple of months ago that they weren't going to implement the ballot screen 'out of the box' on 7 until the EU courts made them. Anyone that had been following the issue enoug

Probably because there isn't really contention over the issue at the present between the two countries involved. Individual people in Argentina may well believe that they have a right to the Malvinas, but the official Argentinian government

I'm fairly sure that the nested repl 'define' being allowed at all is a fairly recent change, I seem to recall just getting an error when trying to define in a nested repl in 4.4.x.

by NikkiA 17y ago
I've had these crashes, and I can tell you exactly what it is that is causing it... You're not at the top level of the repl, for some reason, defining things at a lower nesting level of the repl sometimes produces crashes, it's annoying yes

The irony is that the people running these businesses probably are very aware of that potential, since they likely scour the european market for the cheapest supplier for the business. Yet they're, for some reason, too short-sighted to re

Personally, I think chicken is the least interesting of the 3 (bigloo, gambit and chicken) scheme->c compilers. Bigloo has the best FFI, hands down, it's simple, it offers mapping, and doesn't require you write chunks of C for each defi

Country Story is more like Farmville would be if it had actual depth... but then it becomes blatently obvious that the idea is simply a rip-off of "Harvest Moon". That's not to say Farmville isn't fun, it is, but I find Country Story a litt

So, that's humanity finished then. And to think the 2012-ers were so very close, just 2 years out from 'all human productivity ceasing and mankind dying from starvation within 3 weeks'.

They're so proud of shipping a Mozilla browser, but how the fuck are they going to integrate that with Qt? http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2008/08/nokia-helps-... Says that they did the easy thing, mostly, and wrote a Qt backend

Why do you need your tools to perform the ordering for you? It's really not that hard to group by functionality when you write the CSS, and a little bit of discipline will keep them grouped as you make changes.

Sadly, there are enough patent trolls and litigation-happy companies that would just love to have someone as determined and single-minded as him, on board :/

I use Ubuntu on my web servers, and archlinux on my general purpose servers... Ubuntu is just so easy to get apache setup right for multi-hosting and general web app setups, the converse is that archlinux is surprisingly difficult to get ap

by NikkiA 17y ago
I suspect that Arch has displaced a lot of their potential market anyway. Gentoo always seemed to be made up of two groups, the people that wanted a rolling distribution, and the people that bought into the whole CFLAGS optimisation thing.

It wasn't just the linux companies, most every company in silicon valley at the time was attempting to find a reason to get him on their payroll. He could probably have taken his pick of any tech company anywhere in the world.
