Money keeps you in the race, but it can't get you in. Ron Paul raised a hell of a lot of money, so did Howard Dean in 2004. The bottom line is if people don't like you or your ideas, they won't vote for you, and that makes you a poor candidate.
Stances on issues don't matter, turning them into results matters. If Gravel can't get votes for his issues from the people, he can't get votes for his issues from the legislature. That makes him a bad candidate for President.
Yes, and if I were to somehow get nominated, my chances would go up as well. But being able to get nominated is an important ability to qualify as being a good candidate, let alone the best candidate. If you don't have the ability to use politics to get your name out, how can we believe that you have the ability to use politics to get your agenda across?
Yeah, I'm not sure why it was modded funny or overrated.
If the guy can write an XMPP client, and knows exactly what is wrong with Pidgin's implementation in order to "fix" his client to support it, then he should be more than capable of providing a fix to Pidgin's code, so that he doesn't have to keep fixing his code, and the all of us Pidgin users can benefit as well.
Perhaps it's not a vast media conspiracy, and just the fact that some 90% of the population doesn't care about Ron Paul, doesn't like Ron Paul, and doesn't agree with any of his policies that his supporters think are so wonderful?
I know who Ron Paul is, I know what policy changes he's proposing, and I would never vote for him. It's not that he isn't being heard, it's that the vast majority don't like what he's saying.
Ask yourself, IF George Washington, Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson were alive today. WHO would they vote for? Washington would vote for Jefferson, Jefferson would vote for Washington, Franklin would probably also vote for Washington.
None of them would vote for Ron Paul. Why? Because they all knew that the Constitution isn't sacred.
And also Struts, Velocity, Axis, Xerces/Xalan, etc. Most of the APL code business use is going to be library and component code, not end products like Httpd and Tomcat.
I don't care cause I have the freedom to say anything I want thanks to the first Amendment. You also have the right to remain silent, which would have probably served you better in this case.
Maybe you should kill your self you stupid Gnome/Windows User. Gnome means doesn't work like the Chevy Nova in Mexico. OMG, you have no idea who Miguel de Icaza is, do you?
I'll probably get modded down by the "music wants to be free", let's steal everything we can groupthinkers out there, but whatever. No, you'll get modded down by the "ISPs aren't fucking law enforcement" crowd. If a court tells an ISP to terminate service, they'll do it, but it's not their job to enforce the law. The last thing you want is a MegaCorporation in charge of interpreting and enforcing the law against you.
For Aiding and Abetting the theif? The guy driving the getaway car goes to jail for murder, too. Yes, but the City that provided the roads they used to drive away do not.
And of course we should shut down those record stores that are profiting from people who are just going to rip their CD's and put them on P2P networks.
And we should shut down the recording companies who make those CDs that people are ripping to put on PSP networks.
hmmm, I actually kind of like where this is going.
But seriously, since when did ISP profit from content? I worked for an ISP at one point, and we didn't see a damn bit of money from content, all we got paid for was access to the Internet. Where we getting ripped off?
Can you think of anything in Windows that couldn't be figured out by someone who has been trained on Linux? The Registry. Though to be fair, even people who have been trained on Windows can't figure out the Registry. Heck, I don't know of anybody with any amount of training in anything that can figure that mess out.
Pardon? Are you implying that there have been zero incorrect assessments of Microsoft's impending death? No, I'm saying that the common phrase "If I had a nickel for every $x, I'd be rich" requires that $x is a large number. The fact that he used "would be richer than they already are" changes it so that it is true for any non-zero value of $x, no matter how small. For example:
If they had a nickel for every time a slashdotter got a date, they'd be richer than they are now. If they had a nickel for every time Dvorak was right, they'd be richer than they are now. If they had a nickel for every virus that targets Linux, they'd be richer than they are now. If they had a nickel for every CEO they've had named Bill Gates, they'd be richer than they are now.

Sorry, the ring is PowerPC based, fight canceled.
Ok, ok, maybe that hasn't been decided, but now that everyone agrees that DEB is better than RPM, maybe we can make some headway in other areas.

Well at least we've settled the fact that Gnome and Vim are better than KDE and Emacs.
How can someone without a chance of winning be considered the best candidate?

Wouldn't it be easier to just make the fix in Pidgin and submit a patch?
And also Struts, Velocity, Axis, Xerces/Xalan, etc. Most of the APL code business use is going to be library and component code, not end products like Httpd and Tomcat.
I would imagine things like Ant, Log4J and Commons alone count for the majority of the APL code.
Oh, and the Chevy Nova thing? It's wrong.
Oops, never mind, turns out he's not the same guy who worked on Gnome and Mono, my mistake.
Gnome means doesn't work like the Chevy Nova in Mexico. OMG, you have no idea who Miguel de Icaza is, do you?
Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) is going to use Gnome 2.22, so I would assume it would have all the features mentioned in this article.
The engineer in me just found a more efficient solutions than fixing copyright laws.

The phrase kind of loses it's impact.
