If he doesn't, it will be because he's learned nothing from this whole ordeal (and his non-apology suggests this may very well be the case) and continues to treat people like shit whenever he thinks he can get away with it. And if he does that, he was going to fail at life whether all this happened or not.
And he said: "I could have nipped this all in the bud by being a little nicer. You never know who knows who, and lesson learned."
Lesson definitely not learned. It is his character, he'll be an asshole for life. Sad thing is his son have a good chance of following his father's footsteps, joining the uncountable assholes of the world. That's life...
I love Gnome 3's concept, and I tried really hard to get used to its current limitations. But in the end I gave up and searched for a more usable setup. I made a Frankenstein composed of LXDE with Compiz and Nautilus. It is significantly faster than Gnome 3, and has all the keyboard shortcuts I'm used to for handling a 3x3 workspace grid (mapped to Ctrl+KP_n).
Exactly, and that's the reason the patent system only works for lawyers these days.

Indeed, it is looking good. I'm installing it right now. Perhaps it will be my DE while GNOME 3 sucks. After two weeks using it, the bugs and lack of features are starting to really get on my nerves.
Nice, never thought of that before. "After this operation, 75.8 MB disk space will be freed." Au revoir mono.:) And it was nice to find out Gnote, a C++ replacement for Tomboy.

I had a similar opinion before I started using Gnome 3. Now I know that Gnome 3 is all about extensibility. They are in the right path, IMHO.
That said, I agree that right now it really sucks.
From the grandparent: I think anything made in each of the american continents can be sold tariff free here
Regardless of where 'here' refers to, the GP is wrong. And by referring to 'each of the American continents' (namely North, Central and South Americas) he/she could only be talking about ALCA. The Mercosur treaty, as you said, consists only of a few countries, and the name of the treaty itself is a contraption that means 'market of the south'.
So you and all the AC's that replied to my post mentioning the Mercosur didn't really interpret the GP right. And the GP is wrong, definitely.
Now imagine if the guards were told the prisoners were evil terrorists.
And then what if they were?
Now imagine you and some of your family were captured together with all the terrorists. Yeah, they are really terrorists! You and yours? Whatever, I don't give a fuck. Fuck you all.
You got to be careful though... last time we tried to smoke a bear we almost got eaten by it. When there was almost no bear left to smoke, some PETA guys showed up and we had to run for our lives! I'll never do bears again.
But society would benefit from legalizing cannabis.
Just yesterday I became aware that people drink (or inhale the vapor of) a infusion made of VHS videotapes to get high. It's been a long time since I laughed so much... with ideas like that we can confirm that there are no bounds on human stupidity.
[Warning: VHS tea may cause cancer or metal poisoning, take it only if you are completely retarded and want to kill that lonely neuron of yours.]
A tiny camera won't do much good for you if you are thinking only of prostate cancer. For that you can use the PSA blood test, but after an anomaly is identified you will have to be subjected to the touch exam. Unless someone makes a device to measure the prostate's volume, texture, density, etc., which will definitely not be a camera.

Happy new year! Cheers!
ANd I assure you, if the social bargain that is copyright was abolished, people would continue to create works.
And people would continue to contribute to the authors, as we do with donations to Wikipedia or paying a fair amount to Humble Indie Bundles.

No, there is not. Do a little bit of research before posting wrong information.

Slashdot should give one extra non-expiring mod point, that when used would only be recredited after a long time, like one month.
If I had that mod point now, sir, it would be yours. :)

"Java compiler", "Python interpreter", "C++ compiler", "Assembler", they are all good languages, don't you think?
I bet it is because you can't lock operators anymore, after the newer x-sim's (e.g.: http://www.super-xsim.com/ )
And the sad thing is that this comes from the company that patented the "genius" 1-click buying.
I want to know if a Ginsu knife will cut it and a tomato with the same ease.
[Gee, I'm old... now get off my lawn!]
Nah, better yet... the dog ate my homework AND I had to take him to the vet because he was not crapping!
Would it be impossible to coat it with some kind of varnish? Say, like they already do to avoid metal sheets from oxidizing...
