Yet "the Three Doctors" establishes that the first Doctor is, in fact, the first. The dating of UNIT stories is also impossible to pin down (an alternative 1970s? the 1980s?) not to mention the mess caused by the TV movie's "half-human" line.

Continuity has never been one of Doctor Who's strong points since the show is often self-contradictory.
They're "lazy" because they don't do any work until necessary. For example, a function can return an infinitely long list, but only the elements you request will actually be calculated. Or, to compare them to Python, it's like having everything function like an iterator.
It is compeltely obvious to so many people on so many levels that the building was imploded
Controlled implosions on large buildings require months of preparation, miles of detonator wire, and literally tons of explosive charges placed at thousands of locations - sometimes requiring the demolition of interior walls. I've not yet heard a convincing explanation on how this process could be accomplished without anyone noticing.
Red Hat's OpenSSH bug involves X11 forwarding. As I recall, Debian's OpenSSH bug was a "fix" that dramatically reduced the entropy available for randomizing. I don't believe the two are related.
While working as a student computer lab attendant, a fresh-faced new user once asked me what the rename command was on the SunOS boxes. He told me he'd already tried "rn" and "rm", and now his files had disappeared.
The main one that accumulates memory with open tabs? I have heard that it was still not addressed in FF3, but that was a bit ago and I hope this is it!
It has been addressed. While FF2 would hog all my available RAM over the course of a day, FF3 releases memory regularly as tabs are closed.
NoScript, Adblock Plus (w. Filterset.G) and FlashBlock are supported in the current 3.0pre Firefox, so they'll work in the final build. Checking Mozilla's addons website isn't that hard, really.
But I don't get why enabling cut n paste would lower the learning curve.
Since most everything else uses Ctrl-X/C/V for cut/copy/paste shortcuts, having Emacs use those same bindings is easier to adapt to than trying to learn its old Ctrl-W/Meta-W/Ctrl-Y bindings.
The main point is that with a few minor one-time tweaks, Emacs doesn't have to be a pain to learn or use for those that want to.
On top of that the emacs death combo buttons would probably give me carpel tunnel, so adding sick leave every once in a while would not help (I'm not kidding, my hands are not made to do the button combinations, tried E-macs got real sore hands and gave up)
Emacs is also GPLed, but that doesn't mean everything I write with it is also automatically GPLed. Unless the BSD people are planning to become Git developers, the source license makes no difference. Try reading it sometime.
I'm not convinced Java's "synchronized" facilities are a significant improvement over Python's global interpreter lock. They both try to solve the same problem of shared data management across threads in a similar way, and I think neither will really scale to huge multi-core systems so long as the lock-and-key mechanisms remain in place.
Erlang's "nothing shared" philosophy, and functional programming in general, seem to me like a more viable strategy for building large, reliable software systems that can span dozens, or hundreds, of CPU cores.
Wasn't the model of the earth flat at one time? I mean, it's great there is a model called evolution, but don't fool yourself into thinking it is absolutely true, no matter what additional information comes about.
Even the ancient Greeks knew the earth was round, and measured its size pretty accurately too.
All the facts, from fossil records to DNA, point to evolution as the mechanism by which species change. The finer points of its operation are debatable, but the overall theory will not. There simply aren't going to be any facts which contradict evolution, anymore than facts will arise to show the earth is not round. It's a solved problem, and it's time to move on.
Ah, the old "evolution is religion" notion rears its ugly head - again.
People get riled up because you've trotted out the same old pile of ignorant misunderstands the anti-evolution crowd is so fond of, and those who grasp the subject are getting a bit tired of having to correct them.

If you really want to be remembered, it's best to accomplish something they'll read about in their history books.
Change the world, and other people will preserve your existence forever.
That's been found, too
Everybody, walk for your lives!

It seems you've answered your own question.
Just because no one likes SecuROM doesn't mean one is entitled to download the game for free.

The bottom paragraph of the security advisory "details" section lists a minor bugfix, in addition to clean packages related to the breakin.

That's an urban myth. NASA has a complete Apollo rocket suspended in pieces from the ceiling in its tourist center. I have pictures.
That was one of the first sets I ever received.
Had I known it would become so valuable, I would've kept better track of all the pieces.
While working as a student computer lab attendant, a fresh-faced new user once asked me what the rename command was on the SunOS boxes. He told me he'd already tried "rn" and "rm", and now his files had disappeared.
I'm sure he learned something new that day.

That's probably because your "Ctrl" key is in the wrong spot. Try moving it next to the "A" key to minimize hand strain.
Also, in modern Emacs builds, enabling "Options"->"C-x/C-c/C-v Cut and Paste" lowers the learning curve dramatically.
Emacs is also GPLed, but that doesn't mean everything I write with it is also automatically GPLed. Unless the BSD people are planning to become Git developers, the source license makes no difference. Try reading it sometime.
Beta NVidia drivers are available for the beta x.org server. There's also the Nouveau drivers, which might be good enough for 2D performance.
How do you propose removing the freedom of developers to work on things outside of the One True Distro?

I suppose the nature of the job ensured they wouldn't stay really fat for long.
