... with this sort on thing happening I won't be travelling via the US next time I go to Europe. I think I'd prefer to go via Japan and Russia now-a-days. Seriously, US citizens, it really _is_ time for a regime change in the White House. The Republicans seem to have taken too many pages out of the Nazi rule books for my liking.
Wrong canal. The RiverRat in #gentoo will give you the answer in all of 30 seconds.
Definitely the best support channel ever. Beats hanging around on the end of a phone for a semi-literate nitwit to try to find an answer on his screen by a country mile.
Just love this new/. except that the printing in the top lh column is wonky.
Just say no!, if you wish to preserve your mind's v^Hsanity.
A friend of mine had to produce a similarly large - dozens of screens, menus, and a WWW interface - VB project as a team leader. He came within a whisker of being admitted to the emergency psych. ward.
Get your head around that lot and you will be a very valuable item. Toss in a modicum of accounting knowledge to ice the cake.
Everything mentioned in the above links is $ free.
Please, please, and ask him why the Reiser4 filesystem is not in his Linux kernel. It has worked for over a year better than any other for me. Even if it's tagged 'Experimental'.
Now that MacOS has been ported to Intel there must be a distinct motivation to use, incorporate, and perhaps modify, x86 software which has been written elsewhere, possibly by one of Apple's minority shareholders. Those shareholders are distinctly allergic to any licence which includes the letters e, n, p, and o adjacent to each other in a single word. Remember that Redmond has to have a viable competitor to look ok under the agreement with the DoJ. Thus Darwin has to be closed. Bunch of kids chucking sand at each other. Smallest one has to run away to avoid sand in eye.
Install KDE in Kiosk mode so if they fiddle about with it and stuff things up, just logging out and in again will restore the settings.
As part of the install supply KPDF and Kate, Festival, Mbrola, and kttsd. Together these projects provide a very effective text to speech system which reads text pretty well to folks who are either dyslexic, or have tired eyes. KMail is not yet speech enabled, so you will have to use Konqueror and Gmail instead.
Started walking at least half a mile almost everyday, sometimes more, but not if it's raining.
Stopped eating butter & drinking full cream milk.
Gave up the petrol|gasoline habit.
Started eating a least 1 orange & 1 apple every day.
Started eating green veges of some sort almost every day.
Cut back severely on the amount of meat I eat.
Gave up drinking sugar-laden soft-drinks.
By doing that I have dropped 10 kilos without even trying, and feel so much better. Can't give up coffee though. Tried very hard and felt like death warmed up for three months so started supporting the Central Americans again.
It really _is_ addictive, don't start youngsters. I've never smoked and drink only very lightly. A glass or three less often than weekly but more often than monthly.
I am fortunate to live in a country with a caring social welfare system, and am very grateful indeed for it. It was when I was taken several hundred miles - at no expense whatsoever to me - by car and 'plane to the specialist hospital for a chest operation that the penny dropped. The point was reinforced when I read about Patrick (Slackware) Volkerding's strange illness and the ghastly tribulations attached. That tale was what made me truly realize how lucky I am. If a tiny country of only 4 million souls can do that, why can't the richest one in the world? It's time for a revolutionary rebellion on that point if nothing else.
... that European governments, either individually or as a Union, could well pass a law which proscribes contractual bundling of software on any hardware platform. Microsoft, and any others tempted to do so, would be well advised to remember that that is a distinct possibility before they send in their legal heavies with the intent of subverting both corporate and individual freedoms. IOW, Licensing pre-installed software and activating it would then become a separate transaction item at the retail level.
Genuinely Democratic governments who have merely the narrowest of majorities are remarkably malleable when faced by organised civil agitation.

And the ability to curl up to go to sleep. That's what I'd like. The tail idea, or 3 hind legs, would be useful. So would more hands. 3 hind legs would mean that we wouldn't have to bother with chairs any more, because we'd have a built-in 3 legged stool to sit on. I don't think much of the idea of only one eye in the head, and the brain in the chest, Isn't the optic nerve as short as it is because if it was made longer the bandwidth would be insufficient to see details properly. Only one eye means an end to binocular vision and the ability to judge distance properly. No thanks Reproductive organs in the mouth? Wouldn't that give an entirely new meaning to the words "Blow Job"?
Just use a different port. Filtering then becomes so simple that it's an absolute doddle. Never happen of course because it would make the multi-billion dollar filtering industry redundant.
When both countries and people have run up debts that they cannot service they have to be prepared to sell off things to repay those debts. Warmongering is an expensive exercise, you have to pay for by selling assets. US, get used to the idea; it will happen more and more in the future.
The problem for all 'governments-of-the-day' who enact stupid legislation is that there is always a way around the 'problem'.
There is also clandestine high frequency high speed RTTY.
True, but much more difficult to make and ignite the fission. The uranium bomb only needs to have the two hemispheres of U-235 whacked together. The Hiroshima bomb used good old gunpowder to do this, whereas the Pu bomb needed to have a very complex geometry with a sphere and a concentric shell collapsed by very carefully engineered high-explosive . The certainty of the Pu device actually going critical was by no means certain until the Trinity test. The U-235 device was never tested.
That's simply because the BBC is not centrally funded.
The TV licence fee is not the same as a grant from general taxation. A grant from taxation is controllable both in magnitude and application by the politicians, whereas the the (UK) TV Licence is not.
I have been using the GIMP since it was version 0.54. OK it's different from that which is normal for the World of Windows, but if you are used to a particular method of interfacing to a program it is your standard and learning to use any alternative is a unnecessary chore.
The recent changes to the UI as a result of the whinging and whineing from people who are used to other UIs is just such a chore for me. If the UI is to be changed yet again please can we have a compile time option to retain the existing UI.
However, the idea of a centrally funded broadcaster is a good one: it means that the quality of output need not go into freefall in the pursuit of ratings.
Not really, because the programme material is then open to interference by the funding sphincter which will insist that the programmes are dumbed-down to suit their political agenda before opening even a millimeter. This is the reason why http://www.mvgroup.org/ and http://www.digitaldistractions.org/ etc. find a place un the sunshine.
