You may, no doubt, disagree and you're welcome to that, but stay on the point. Your government decides your rights. Please state what government presides over the land you live in, and please quote the relevant law of that government which states the right to housing.
I call shenanigans! It's "bowl", not "play bowling"... You really play nethack in a dark basement, admit it. Only if you are used to using the term in English. In Hebrew we say "play bowling". But, yeah, I'm as guilty of dark basement nethacking as you are.
All this does is prove that you can't trust people who work at big dumb companies. They can't tell you what they really think by email, so you have to assume they are lying to you. It's amazing that 41% of these companies admitted to the practice after the whole HP scandal.
I'd say around 1990 or MS-DOS 5.0, when Peter norton sold his company to Symantec. Peter Norton? He didn't by chance sell the 'o' and 'n' for an 'h' and make himself real famous in certain particular circles, did he?
I've wondered this for awhile, what advantage does quicktime provide that causes people to continue to use it? I'm not being snarky, I'm genuinely curious. Quicktime has some really cool 3-D features that other video formats do not. In fact, Quicktime is not a video format but a container format. It can even contain Javascript. I wrote about it here: http://what-is-what.com/what_is/quicktime.html
This kind of robot would act to find ways to encourage the person to continue kicking. Why doesn't it, you know, give her a hand? The robot is either holding onto something, and can therefore help her support herself in the water, or attached to the woman in the well, in which case it's more weight and dragging her down.
The sniper fire example also indicates this. Assume that you are in a location where the sniper can't reach you. So long as you stay there, you are safe. One danger is that you might get frustrated with waiting and leave safety. A robot like this could make the waiting more bearable by providing things that you can do other than stare at the walls. No joke, some soldiers carry gameboys and other things just to pass by the dull moments. There are lots of dull moments.
Before anyone says "but ubuntu already does this", the problem is that currently you have no choice but to learn the CLI in order to accomplish anything but basic user tasks. This forces every office (or family) to have at least one go-to person that understands the OS thoroughly (or at least better than everyone else). But Ubuntu already does this. And everyone I've ever known has had a go-to person for their OS. Often, that was me. And of course every business should have a go-to person who understands the OS thoroughly, whether they use Linux or Windows or OS-X or Amiga.
Then you've never seen someone die. It's not all nice and calm, and they don't talk, like in the movies. Rather, they spill and squirt blood, and drag themselves around, and claw at their wounds, and either scream or try to. They shit and piss themselves. They are confused and do not usually accept what is happening to them, if they even understand at all. I've seen it enough times, thank you (or rather, thank Nasrallah), and trust me, you don't want your family to see you like that.
redhat maintains and writes half of gnome and desktop software, where you think network manager came from or pulse audio, the suspend features in gdm, UI, who funds and built freedesktop.org? I did not realize that. Thanks. That information really puts a different perspective on things.
That's what I don't understand about the name change... unless RedHat intentionally wanted to re-brand Fedora as inferior. Red Hat said that they are abandoning the desktop market, as it is not profitable. Fedora is not Red Hat, and Fedora is not being abandoned. Fedora is a bleeding-edge testbed for what will be in the next RHEL. That's why there are over 100 MB of updates every week. Just don't run yum update for a week and see it!
The problem with abandoning the desktop, in my opinion, is that many new linux users are first exposed to Ubuntu. When they go to install a server they will then use either Ubuntu Server or Debian. RPM will be foreign to them.
I don't want a link to my family while I'm dying, thank you. It will be hard enough for them to cope with the knowledge that I died. Imagine them trying to cope with the fact that I am dying and there is nothing they can do about it but hear me scream. No, thanks.
I've been waiting to do that since the first time I saw that list on bugzilla, but never had the nerve until now. Glad you liked it, I hope the mozilla nerds frequent/. as well.
What do you find difficult about it? Answer a few straight-forward questions and hit submit? I find Bugzilla easier to use than posting to most blogs. At least there is no captcha.
Note that the Mozilla, OOo, Ubuntu, and KDE bugzillas / issue trackers are completely different and some are frustrating to use (especially KDE's). Which bugzillas / issue trackers have you had trouble with, and at what point in the bug filing process did you get stuck? I'd love to help.
The only problem I saw on Linux was the growth of the "urlclassifier3.sqlite" file. When it grew over 20 MB, it was necessary to delete it.
Were there other problems? Because apart from the above, I used the last beta every day on Ubuntu, MS Windows, and OS X and had no problems. It is the Phishing protection database. After you erase that file, disable Phishing protection. If you feel confident enough in yourself to identify phishing sites yourself, that is. I leave it enabled for the mother in law.

256 now. Nice round number.
I wish that I had modpoints because you are:
1) right
2) modded flamebait

Write to them about how their use of Silverlight makes using the page impossible for you. See this:
