Comment TIFF URLs missing extra "f" (Score 1) 84
If you want the "HI-RES TIFF" versions of the images, you'll need to add another "f" onto the ends of the URLs.

He was saying that in AIX it's all integrated and therefore easy and AIX admins tend to think of the way it's done in Linux as a step backwards, BUT with the Linux way of doing things it's much more flexible exactly because "every partition / [logical] volume can be partitioned again, and so on."

Sending him a "thank you" e-mail would be one way to pat him on the back.
As a followup, how long until we see a netmainframe?
You can have it now! Just run hercules on your netbook:

He shows how he straightened a picture he took and also mentions the SIFT algorithm which is disabled by default because of software patents. He says:
Your editor, being a daring sort of person, decided that he wanted to find out just what sort of functionality is being denied to hugin users by the oppressive US software patent regime. As it happens, Fedora users can get around patent-based repression by installing the autopano-sift-C package from the rpmfusion repository and tweaking the program preferences to use the real autopano tool. The difference is striking: with autopano-sift-C installed, the program proceeds immediately from image selection to a preview window; the whole "control points" and "optimization" process just sort of goes away. This package does a great job of finding control points, at least on your editor's sample image set.
Yes, because more people can copy him and up the sample size. If enough people do this ( also switching hands, say cracking their right hand and not their left, and also noting left or right handedness ) then you know the results are valid barring any association between liklihood of doing this and assymetric arthritis. Possibly there is a gene that causes both OCD and arthritis.
No, no, that's not double-blind! You have to have someone cracking (or not) your knuckles without you knowing it and also without them knowing whose knuckles are being cracked.
[...]and learn how to spell "lose" (rhymes with "news") correctly.
I agree on the spelling, but "lose" and "news" only rhyme if you're American.
There's a difference between shell globbing and regular expressions.
What's worse is they use BIND!

I've often found a bee on the ground looking like it's about to die and fed it sugar water. After drinking a bit of it it's amazing how they seem to recover.
Not necessarily. In South Africa we don't have yellow jackets and the bees do sometimes congregate around soft drink cans. People sometimes get stung in the mouth if they aren't careful and a bee decides to take a drink while they're not looking.
But your spell checker would not have caught that one
COBOL's reputation for being slow has to do with writing the programs, and dates back to its earliest days when code had to be written as SET RIDICULOUSLYLONGVARIABLENAME EQUAL TO 2 PLUS 2. Development time sped up a lot when Gracie was finally convinced that RIDICULOUSLYLONGVARIABLENAME = 2 + 2 would work as well[...]
You mean: ADD 2 TO 2 GIVING RIDICULOUSLYLONGVARIABLENAME
and: CALCULATE RIDICULOUSLYLONGVARIABLENAME = 2 + 2
It gets worse with operations with longer names and other variables:
MULTIPLY WEIGHT-OF-SPARROW BY NUMBER-OF-SPARROWS GIVING TOTAL-WEIGHT
Unix just turned 40, and Tetris just turned 25. What do they have in common other than closely spaced birthdays? They were both first developed on PDP-11 hardware (Unix on a PDP-11, Tetris on a Russian clone). And they've both been cloned, early and often.
And Lisp is 50 years old. It wasn't developed on a PDP-11, since PDP-11s weren't around then
I think you can say the same about cloning, since there are many different dialects of Lisp and many languages have adopted aspects of Lisp.
Bah. Your command would fail. You need to escape the splat just like the semicolon:
Not necessarily. It depends on whether there are files/directories in the current directory that start with the string "kids" (and your shell's globbing rules). If there aren't, then everything works find. If there's only one, things might seem to work, but files/directories in subdirectories will not be found (and therefore removed).
find my_lawn -name kids\* | xargs rm -rvf
Which will break if you have spaces or tabs or newlines etc. in your filenames. Use this instead (I hope you have a reasonable version of find and xargs):
find my_lawn -name kids\* -print0 | xargs -0 -r rm -rvf
