...every other 911 derivative for the last 50 years.
The original 911 would just swing that engine right around in front if you'd let it.
When did they become mid-engine?
(Oh: I see: *the 980* was mid.)
this is going to be as stupid as Mozilla's plan to rev a new major release of Firefox every 6 weeks.
It's easy to look at this and say "what a great idea"... but the people who do that are, nearly unanimously in my experience, people who are only responsible for 1 or 2 PC.
When you're responsible for 100 or 500 or 20,000, you come back to me and tell me how many more IT people that's going to require you to hir... oh, wait.
No; this is a *great* idea!!!
> It's easy to blame Microsoft for this, but isn't this really an issue that is intrinsic to all installed applications?
No one read John Carmack's "don't let the client control anything" screed several years back, about how gaming systems cannot let the client code *know* or *control* things, because then it could be replaced with something that would cheat on the user's behalf, by looking around corners for bad guys and such?
This is the same exact thing, as far as I can see...
Wasn't there any actual *coverage of the case* somewhere on the web that could have been linked to, Ray?
Nobody tell David Hasselhoff, ok?
I've run Zimbra for 3 years now, back to 5.0.9, which I installed for my then employer. The architectural people there have taken, right along, an attitude that I can characterize only as "RFCs? Who cares about those?"
It doesn't handle fixed-pitch well; its editor won't re-wrap (though they might have finally fixed that in 7), it doesn't uknow from RFC 2369 -- in fact, it handles mailing lists poorly in general; notably, you can't change the Reply-To in any way when replying, if you generally want HTML off (as I do), the only way to turn it on is to dive into the Preferences and switch it, then reload; same turning off...
Check for bugs filed on their bugzilla by jra@baylink.com if you want a full list of the ignominy. But in general, I would say: evaluate it pretty thoroughly to see if you can deal with its crap before deploying.
It's *very* pretty. I just don't know if it's worth the trouble.
"Yes".
Pay attention, editors.
in all their "Mafia protection racket" analogies, they didn't use the phrase "You gotta really nice lookin' business here", which nearly always precedes "It'd be a shame if something happened to it".
Nice piece, though, over all.
I don't have a problem with a developer deciding to use names like this for a package, if they want to stick their neck out.
The point here, is apparently that *the developer* wasn't sticking their neck out; someone else did it *for them*. *That*, I have a problem with.
So, y'all people shooting at the name itself? That's a strawman; please look at what's actually offensive here.
"I think the Internet contains things which are a negative influence on my life, and I haven't the self-control *not to do those things and go those places*."
There; FTFY.
Or things even worse. You can do this, but you're going to need pretty hefty realtime dust collection; I suppose it's possible that a Rainbow water-curtain vac might be enough, but I'm not sure.
I'll bet someone else will be sure.
And I'm not sure if you can finish off the cut edge of a board to a point where it won't unravel -- or at least, how you would do so.
People *do* do this: I have a favorite notebook whose covers are circuit boards. But it's non-trivial.
I was there, for the STS-132 Tweetup, and it is absolutely incredible.
Nearly 2700 press were badged for this launch; the record was 2707 for STS-1, and they might find they've beaten it when all is said and done.
Shame the press paid no attention to the 100 or so in the middle; perhaps the public would have raised more fuss with its legislators about NASA's miserable budget.
It'll be awfully hard to fix...
and TFA is apparently only available to Sigma Xi members. Great work there, Slashdot editor.
