For hell's sake, man, this is 2011! Why any compressible data is still released using gzip, when xz (even bzip2) is way better, is totally beyond me.
Squash those bits, man! Squash 'em good!
"Cloak and Dagger" was a bad 80's movie with Dabney Coleman and the kid from ET.
Hulu's increase of commercials has severely turned me off of their offerings. I once watched a ton of stuff on Hulu, but now I stick to NetFlix or just do without.
It's quite jarring to be in the middle of an intense show and then breaking to an HPV commercial.
Yes. The Man's greed knows no bounds.

Seeing this article made me think of the robotic/cyborg "guardian" animals in the Dark Tower series. I wonder if this cold war stuff inspired that part of King's story?
That is apparently the case. I've been called to jury duty once in my life. I was actually excited about it. All my work peers cynically said some version of this: "Just tell them you've been to college and you'll be tossed from the pool." I was like, WTF?!? During selection, we were all asked our professions, our level of education, what periodicals we subscribed to, and if anyone in our family had been subject to domestic abuse (it was an wife battery case, IIRC). For whatever reason, we were *all* pruned out, and I never did get to sit.
For the life of me, I can't understand why people with *any* familiarity with a topic should be pruned from a jury pool. If I were on trial for some computer/tech crime, I'd rather a bunch of slashdotters or redditors (gods help me) be on the jury than the uninformed Joe Schmoe who rely on left- or right-wing hate media for their news sources.
The "-P32" (at least in FreeBSD "xargs") means to have 32 instances of the target command (wget, in this case) in parallel.
yes "http://www.amazon.com" | xargs -n1 -P32 wget -e robots=off -q --tries=2 --timeout=32 -H -p --output-document=/dev/null
Okay, "-P32" may be a *little* excessive.
I realize this, but ignorance by the populace is not my problem. It's not like we're doing so well on that front anyway. Half the problem, of course, is medicated livestock feed. Antibiotics are used as a feed additive because it somehow lets animals put on weight faster, so many grower/starter feed rations have antibiotics in them. But a huge problem is ignorant soccer moms who insist in a round of penicillin for ever little sniffle Little Johnny gets.
That said, my 12-year-old son has never once been administered antibiotics, as my wife and I know what a problem it is. I've only had them twice in the past 10 years, my teen-aged daughter maybe once in her life. Obviously, the ignorant reap what they sow (like in Mexico, though they've put a stop to OTC antibiotics), though it can obviously be a problem for the rest of us.
I prefer a more libertarian solution to health care, as the current system is far too restrictive and screws over the poor (and the self-taught).
Your valid criticism lost a lot a sway when you so lightly invoked prison rape. Don't be a douche and please stick to the facts.
I will point out that a lot of people (many of whom I will assume, like myself, have never been convicted of *anything*) are complaining about other people's sentences, so it's not like only those with a rap sheet have a monopoly on decrying the joke of a justice system we currently have.
The problem is that the medical establishment is a self-protectionist racket. I have no problem with astronomically-priced doctor salaries, drugs, and equipment. If the rich want to blow a $million+ on end-of-life care that buys them 1 month on life support, then who am I to argue. However, in return, I kindly ask that the AMA get kicked to the curb, licensing be a voluntary requirement for practicing, and that we allow effective OTC meds (like antibiotics) to be sold. There's no reason a retired army medic, nurse, or EMT should not be able to perform procedures for folks who want to avoid (or cannot afford) the high-price of a "real" doctor or ER. Nor is there a good reason why we shouldn't be able to effectively self-medicate if we're intelligent enough to do so. (Yes, I have successfully self-medicated with feed-store antibiotics. It's not rocket science.)
That's a little harsh. I personally think that *The Last Airbender* has been one of the best cartoons to be produced in recent memory, from a normal US TV source anyway. I haven't been so hooked on a cartoon since *Animaniacs* and *Batman: The Animated Series*".
It's worse, given an over-zealous prosecutor. Search for the "little lupe child porn case". Poor dude had videos of an obvious, over-18 "pro" and even though a phone call and a fax would have produced the age custodial records, the prosecutor refused to cooperate and plowed head-on with trying to ruin the defendant. I hope there's a special hell for this woman (the prosecutor).
I've used FreeBSD since 6.0 as my daily workstation, and I have few complaints. I'm currently running 8.1-RELEASE/amd64 on a 4-core machine, 8GB ram, and almost a TB of ZFS space. ZFS isn't the best performer, granted, but I beat it up pretty good and have nightly snapshots running, and stability has never been an issue.
I can count the number of times FreeBSD has locked these past 5 years on 1 hand. 3 were due to the 3rd-party fuse-ntfs3 port (non-stock, try to avoid it when I can), and 2 from reading the entirety of
And I don't know why people dis the ports system, as I find it far more functional than anything in the Linux arena I've ever used. Yes, gentoo fans, this includes portage.
You forgot the output to "mount" or "zpool status" or "zfs list".
Byte your tongue.
