Ups. I'm guilty of being German-centric, it never occured to me that the war had started earlier in Asia. I don't think we learned that in history class.
Flickr uses Flash to display the photos, so you can add notes to them. Notes are litttle squares with text underneath, that render directly on the photo. Makes for great annotating. When the mouse is over the photo you see the squares, when the mouse leaves the picture, they fade away. See this and this.
Also, there is a Linux uploader for Flickr available here.
First of all: You're equating "hacking" with rape. That's just disgusting.
Second: Apparently, said "hacking" was typing in an URL into the location bar. Hardly hacking.
Third: The fact that the applicants were able to see their acceptance letters is obviously a security failure and a fault of ApplyYourself. If they are not supposed to see them, make sure they can't. It's really that simple.
For your "evidence", I suggest correlating gun ownership numbers with fatal shooting numbers in any goddamn industrialised country. You'll be suprised.

Nope. The politics regarding this topic are far too politicized. (Well d'oh!)
Most scientist pretty much agree that humans are causing some of the global warming. That is, most scientists when you filter out those that are paid by corperations and the US government.
Open Source works because of much more than capitalist methods.
It's transparent. It's a social network (aka. community or rather many communities). Depending on the project it's more or less peer to peer. It's also based on trust both between developers and users.
Plus, you can actually build a business model based on open source. Which is great, because you'll always need money.
> Of course, but the other half of my reason is that PPC is inferior in terms of price/performance and hardware compatibility.
What fucking hardware compatibility? Everything is USB or Firewire these days and you know what: You can put the same PCI and PCMCIA cards into PCs and Macs.
You might miss a software driver, but guess what: Linux isn't there, yet, either.
By the way: This comes from a former Linux user who had Debian installed exclusively on my iBook 2.2 (arguably best Linux-supported PPC laptop) for more than 18 month until finally I gave up and dumped Linux for Mac OS X. Never looked back.
About your last paragraph. Obviously you think those blue-scaled lizard midgets were just made up. I agree with that. But there is a point to this. Isn't it possible that God was just made up too, by someone, but the people who heard the story believed it and it kind of got out of hand from there, with people killing eachother over differing opinions on the details of the stories?
You nailed it! Evolution in Religion. Religion as a meme.
Schadenfreude is in the OED. As well as angst, gestalt, kindergarden and other assorted goodies from the German language. (Hmm, in German it's actually Kindergarten, whatever.)
I remember doing that in high school, English class no less (I am German). I would chit-chat with my neighbor and the teacher would ask me what he had just said. Sometimes I had no clue and got an F, but most of the time I could just rewind that last two or three sentences he just said in my head and quote him literally.
This still works today, but I'm not that good at it anymore. Hurrah, I get old!
The trash icon changes into a an eject icon, signaling that wiping a disk is not allowed.
Which makes sense because wiping an entire filesystem is akin to smashing the filing cabinet in your office with a sledge hammer. You don't delete filesystems (CDs, USB drives, iPods, Shares) you eject them out of your workflow.

IIRC, clauses that restrict reverse engineering are null and void in some jurisdictions, such as Germany.
Yes, but without proper memory management the computer can do nothing. It should just work, so the user can concentrate on what he wants to do.

WW2 started on September 1, 1939.

For 'ze Germans among /. readers it might be nice to link to the actual source and not a translation.
Thanks you very much

Yes.

Probably this: Desktop Manager
Yes, but SusanHU the actual blogger (or rather diarist) who broke that story is not.

Some people have style, some people don't.
This quote is attributed to a lot of people in a lot of versions. The earliest I could find is Frederick the Great in 1757.

Never mind the fact that the blog you source lists a followup study which refutes the fraud findings.
Well done, indeed.

Isn't that the whole point of Free Software?

Come to Germany!
Wait, to late.
Yeah, there are lots of other options to eject.
BTW, I don't think that this is feature bloat, because whenever there is a way to eject a CD it always makes sense. Take iTunes for example.
However, the Finder and Trash in the Dock are special, because they can also eject other mediums. Are they not?
So you have sledgehammers in your office. Do they have confirmation dialogs as well?
