I read about it on google news, caught the facts from several sources, then came to /. to see what my idiot nerdy colleagues thought about the news. Anyone coming to slashdot for breaking news are the same folk who use /. poll results for any useful stats...

Change ok to of in my last sentence. Damn autocorrect....

If the Dakar rally, World Cup, or World Series of Poker were bombed, we'd hear about that too. Bombings of sporting events make news no matter in the world they are...this is not a US story, this is a world event.

Look at how many different nationalities are represented in a top level marathon - the Olympics are the only more diversified sport event I can think ok.

and would be a nifty trick for them to leapfrog to polar flights since they haven't had smashing success with their rocket program thus far.

Hey now - the US has a desert! :)

Too lazy to search for the actual article, but search Wikipedia for Sept 26, 1983 - that's the day it happened. Stanislav something or other - guy actually saved the world that day.

And I meant this comment to the story submitter. Maybe yes, more VM specific distros are needed, but without knowing what you are looking for, how can we help? You state you have a specific environment yet want more off the shelf options. Er, which is it? For what? Come on /. admins, please edit or revise before posting story nonsense.

The truest answer is to grab slack and build it once, the right way, for your particular environment. Done! :)

It is a time honored/worn line, true, but the timing of the joke is what makes it funny. Audience, timing, material. The stuff of comedy. Try a glass of warm milk and settle down a bit, bubba :) it'll all make sense.

And my personal fav, the Thunderbolt II - much more fondly known as the Warthog. God what a delicious tidy package of mayhem it packs....

If you want to post in a story you modded already, do so as anon...there is a tick box for it when you post. That way your moderations stay intact.

I love Publix...where shopping is a pleasure. Wish we had decent groceries up North...

If I didn't blow my mod points, this would go up. Wal-Mart isn't doing this to be good guys, they want additional business.
