Which candidate will be better positioned to answer the problem? It will be the one who is able to make some hard decisions and stand up to powerful lobbyists. It will be the candidate who is able to apply creative thought and novel solutions to problems that we've been creating for ourselves for decades now. it will be the candidate who is able to rationally apply logic and recruit, retain and manage in their administration, unbiased and reasoned people who are willing to work hard on solutions that will benefit Americans and the wider global population.
Why aren't any racketeering/trustbusting laws coming into play here? The actions of the RIAA/MPAA are increasingly resembling those of a band of criminals.
As are the actions of a good chunk of our congressmen.
Wow. The more I read about Leonardo de Vinci, the more he reminds me of Sylar from Heroes (the 'knowing how things work' part, not the monster part). Especially from this segment of the article you linked:
The Italian artist had no formal medical training and brought together a number of disciplines, including mechanics and engineering, when he looked at a problem.
Cool...thanks for the info. I haevn't actually used housecall in quite awhile (I stopped fixing people's comps), so I'm not up to date on what it can/can't do.
Trend Micro Housecall. Scan for and remove viruses via a web-interface when you think you may be infected. There's no annoying software to download/install (other than either an ActiveX control or a Java applet, depending on preference/browser/OS) that pointlessly eats up memory and interferes with your applications.
Once you reach outer space and are going a certain speed, am I right when I say you don't have to continue propelling yourself through the air?
I'm by no means a physicist, but it seems to me you you couldn't simply just glide across space to Mars...you'd still have to fight the gravitational pull from other objects, not to mention the occasional instance when you'd be in a collision course with other objects (asteroids, meteorites, space junk, etc). You'd also need to burn through some sort of fuel to provide the ship with electricity to support the crew members...maybe that could be accomplished via solar power though.
Yea, no hate on RedHat. They are a very respectable company in my opinion. Not only did they not cave to MS's bullshit over a yeat ago, but they have and still do make valuable contributions to the Linux kernel as well as the open source community in general.
So, if you minus the lines of code that RedHat/Fedora didn't write (upstream projects developers' code), and added in the amount of man-hours associated with packaging/debugging/patching these packages, I wonder what they'd be at.
...why the TSA is allowed to open up packages without the presence of the owner of said packages. If they were forced to page the owner to come back and observe the TSA performing a screening on the contents, that would cut down a lot on the opportunity for this type of theft to occur. If the owner doesn't respond to the page from the TSA, then the package simply is not allowed onboard is a fair policy I think. Also, make sure that the TSA personnel are required to fill out paperwork for every package they page the owners for will cut down on abuse of powers as well.
That's some good thinkin you got there....almost a little too good. You're a witc...er terrorist!
Assuming this "99.8%" figure is accurate, consider this. 90% of the world was unaware that the holocaust was going on, but that still didn't mean it was ok....
One consistent thing with Asus seems that they don't seem to do quality (EEE or not, a lot of their stuff looks cheaply constructed/designed). I'm not talking about quality that the Far East may be used to, but the quality that this side of the world had.
Is too much to ask to attempt a model without those knockoff/cut-rate components(and not use an ODM)?
Uh, have you ever owned an Asus product..like...ever?
Blizzard is #1 at the moment and they are receptive to us, so if you care, vote with your pocket book.
I'll wait to vote with my pocket book until there's either 1.) a native client for Linux, or 2.) I know for sure that it'll work ok in Wine. I'm not going to pay first, then hope it'll work when I get it home.
But as a server distro, I'm not so sure. I'm surprised that Wikimedia didn't go with a distribution that's more established for server needs.
As a server distro, it rocks. I've migrated from Gentoo to Ubuntu Server for my home server and I've never looked back. As for enterprise-level distros, I'd have to go with Debian. There's not a whole ton of differences between Debian and Ubuntu Server, but I would trust Debian's 'stable' repositories over Ubuntu's repositories in a mission-critical setting, as the packages in Debian's repositories seem to be more hardened as opposed to Ubuntu's packages, which tend to be more cutting-edge.

So in other words, we're completely screwed.

If that doesn't sound like intuitive aptitude, I don't know what does.
I tried installing redhat a few times back in the 90s
Replace redhat with Ubuntu, and 90s with 2008, and I think you'll have a much different experience.
Man, you're getting ripped off.

And the modern-day witch hunt continues..

Wait until they know about galactic piracy.
Nothing to fear, Samus Aran is taking care of that.
..the RIAA looks to the stars for a new revenue stream.
I'm not saying McCain's out of touch, but he thinks GMT is a new truck from GM.

I guess it's just a matter of time before this guy is standing in the unemployment line.
Heh, I used to actually work with one of the developers of Action Quake (or so he said).

And yet another reason why flying in the US sucks.
I'd like to see a version for the iPhone, although I'm sure Apple would never let it see the light of day.

I'm sure this comes as no surprise to the /. community. Nice to see the truth actually did surface though.
