Wait, the Surface Pro comes with 64GB ROM?

Who the hell wants their SSD to be read only?


> languages > Bergen speaking any form of normal Norwegian > Norwegian words are from Sweden

And you just lost any and all credibility you may have once had. You're just wrong.


“auld lang sine” has lang for lenge, and sine for siden as well.

Does this mean that Scandinavian is a celtic language? :O


It would be fun to include it, and license it as free to use for anyone who gave a dollar to Unicef or something.

And then, the next time this shit happens, the patent defenders would all go “How would these children get their basic needs met if it weren't for patents? Why do you hate children?”

It would be glorious.


fag and faggot doesn't mean “homosexual” in 4chanspeak.

Worst case scenario, you'd get it from your package manager.

There's likely a few downloads on torrent sites for the download as well.

Of course not. Oracle would never do anything bad to a developer community.

To be honest though, if this have already happened TWICE do people really have any excuse for using a server that goes down a lot for something important?

See the link to the w3c - several times they've started delivering 503 HTTP error codes, hoping that the applications would start to break. It didn't have a big effect, either because the application didn't actually use the DTD they've retrieved for anything or because they broke in a non-obvious manner (like with the servers I'm administering). Had the outage been shorter or if I wasn't monitoring the Tomcat JVMs it could've stayed under the radar. That's one of the reasons I've made this submission.
