Depends on what the pamphlet says. Just yesterday I was at the mall, and some lady handed me a religious pamphlet. Inside it told me I was living a life of despair and disease and would eventually try to kill myself due to "immoral activities", one of which was listed as "dancing". Yes, I was pretty insulted. I don't think handing someone a LiveCD compares in any way.
They got rid of one main actor; they still have three more, genius. Amanda Tapping, Micheal Shanks and Christopher Judge have been on the starring cast for over a decade. They still need to pay them huge sums of money. What's more is that they are all on three year contracts; they can't get rid of the original cast until season 12 unless they cancel the entire show and start over.
By the way, Richard Dean Anderson is still a producer for SG-1, so even though he's off the cast, he's still costing MGM millions. Starting over without all the baggage is really the best way to go to make the franchise more profitable.
What the?? All of the replies to this post surprise me. Everyone has all these elaborate ways to prevent themselves from accidentally using rm -rf on an incomplete command; subshells, pound signs, ls... Why do you all want to type -rf right away? Here's something that should have been in the guide:
If you're using rm recursively, always type the modifier *AFTER* the path.
#rm/a/b/c -rf
If you accidentally hit enter after typing "rm/", you get "rm: cannot remove directory `/': Is a directory".
[i]Why don't they just acknowledge that SG1 is essentially a new Stargate series and just keep it going?[/i]
Because they still need to pay millions to the actors who've been on the show for over a decade. SG1 didn't get canned because of low ratings; it got canned because it cost too damn much to pay everyone. They're swapping out SG1 for a new series so they can get a fresh new cast of B actors that they can pay pennies to and keep to themselves all the revenue from the free viewers they'll get from starting a new series in the Stargate franchise.
Linus is so awesome. I get a hard-on just reading some of the stuff he posts to mailing lists.
I like how he suggests they try to get this merged into Ubuntu and SUSE. The latter is now M$-pwned, and the former will soon be including binary video drivers by default. He knows full well this patch isn't going anywhere.
Linus is a great BDFL. I'm proud to run Linux.
The problem is that Novell is extending it with functionality that is likely patented by Microsoft. Since Microsoft is offering them patent protection, it means their extensions to OOo, and any other F/OSS they'll likely fork, are not actually usable by anyone not running a SuSE distro. This is the loophole they have found in the GPLv2 that allows them to add proprietary extensions to OSS software.
Their extensions may as well be closed source. Novell should burn for this.
My brother and I once built a machine out of the Lego Mindstorms robotics kit that could make peanut butter and jam sandwiches. We also built a rudimentary photocopier. It was pretty sweet.
Now isn't this ironic? All this time Opera changes their user agent to look like IE in order to get in sites that would otherwise block it. now we see Opera used to block everything else on Nintendo. Now aren't you glad that it is Firefox and not the closed source Opera that is gaining ground on Microsoft?
What are you talking about? The Opera browser included on the Wii doesn't block anything. It just doesn't give you anywhere to type in a URL, which is why you need to use a DNS redirection.

Don't feel bad. I laughed.

Definitely works on this version of GNU tools. I've never used any other Unix variants, but this is always a good practice to use on Linux machines.
