Why don't we change the law so that when you have a patent you just get to put a little sticker on the box the devices comes in that says "I did this!" so your shareholders and your mums and dads can be really proud! Well done! And if you can win a law suit against someone else, they have to put a stick on their boxes which say "this box contains stuff some other company worked on" and people can decide whether they give a shit or not, and if they don't (clue: nobody cares), they can buy the product, but if they do care, they can go and get the first companies product instead. Let the market decide that way.

For a while there, there were some 2560x2048 monitors being marketed for ATC as well. And then there was the IBM T221, which did 3840x2400.

Don't forget Tech Source, who had beat Barco to the market by years with 2Kx2K graphics cards: http://www.techsource.com

Incidentally, Tech Source is now owned by Eizo, but they still produce ATC graphics cards.

Alas, if you DON'T ask, you'll still get the recommendations and even scolding if you ignore the unwanted advice.

Further, 'they' will continue dispensing that advice even as the evidence piles up against it. They won't stop giving that advice until they find an excuse to tell people they must not eat something else that most people enjoy.

To add to the fun, the 'science' behind all of these food and drug fads just isn't there.

Very very good price. But cheaper online. Very cheap.

Yes, files declare themselves to be dependencies of other files. It's as rational and comprehensible as the joke 'COMEFROM' statement (think opposite of GOTO).

Basic plug strip for the cord that comes out of my computer. I don't have a cord coming out of my armpit... :-)

Especially funny. Rock Stars don't multi-task. They lock themselves away in a darkened office working on the currently interesting single problem until it is solved. Then they come out, decompress, and repeat.

Part of why they have rock star performance is that they don't multi-task and don't sit through endless meetings re-hashing yesterday's meeting.

It might work as a dirty hack, but I would really like to have my fstab not be hackery. Noauto is supposed to mean not mounted on boot after all. I do know that systemd isn't actually issuing the mount command. I also know that once in the emergency shell, a simple mount /aux works perfectly (showing that the fstab and dependencies are fine).

There should be a way to alter systemd's configuration to let mount -a take care of fstab.

I'm a bit skeptical that a .mount file will behave any better since it's still part of the systemd world that has already proven it isn't up to the task. I may try it though just to see if systemd failures are at all hackable short of twisting it to resemble sysV.

Mod parent up!

I think the many megaton explosive effect of a comet hitting the Earth and the resulting severe disruption of the weather and massive loss of life would probably make us forget all about the kilo of plutonium.

That's 12 kilos for the SNAP minus the weight of batteries and associated chargers/management, solar panels , and heaters.

And still, all the fear would have been unfounded. Yes, from ESA's standpoint, it would be no consolation to know that the fear that was destroying them was unfounded.

Perhaps they should just say the space probes are powered by new and improved power pellets! (Pac Man approved!)

As usual with competitions like this, you shouldn't settle for the prize money if you develop such a thing because its worth quite a bit more.
