As long as the signature is OK, then you can get it from wherever you want, even evilhackers.org or microsoft.com. If you trust the key, you can trust the package.
Now, do you trust the key that you downloaded (along with the iso) through plain http?
It must be fun to live there. In my city (Bydgoszcz, Poland), the most interesting random thing I recently saw happening on a street was a bunch of cats sitting together with pidgeons:
However, the only thing that actually keeps making my city less and less attractive to me, is that it's getting harder and harder for me to get lost in it. I just know it too good, and I like exploring new places, getting somewhat lost, turning a short, 3h walk into a "where am I and how the fuck do I get back home from here".
I was on a walk today. I bought a notebook and a pen, and I spent time writing anonymous, open letters or drawing things whenever I had to wait for the traffic lights to change. When I was heading back home, I began giving some of those letters and drawings to random people on the street. Some people were surprised, some didn't want to take the piece of paper (maybe thought it was just a flyer). I think I'm going to do that again.
Yea, I would, for the rest of my life. My children probably wouldn't, though, because I don't have any yet, and without the moon I'm probably not going to have any. Ever noticed that the length of a woman's menstrual cycle is about equal to the length of the full cycle of the moon?
It's not only about language's reserved keywords. All the APIs of the world are based on english words. Naturally, you don't need to know what does "memory" or "allocate" mean in order to use malloc, but then I could design an API that would use polish words for names of functions or classes, and I'm sure it would be awkward for you to use.
Oh gods, I've used NetBeans, Eclipse, Dev-Cpp, KDevelop, MonoDevelop, and a couple of smaller IDEs. I've broken a few keyboards while using Emacs, and I've even tried Vim. I've also tried a shitload of small console-based editors such as nano, joe, jed, vi, and even ed. And I'd say, when it comes to editing source code, I think only ed sucks more than Visual Studio.

Sure.
At this very moment, instead of enjoying the evening, I'm hacking the templates of one website to make it look less bad on IE6 before the deadline - tommorow morning (CET).
I'm tired of all these shitty hacks, really. I wish I could just ignore IE6, but it simply still has a significant market share.

You sound like you believe in democracy.
> Why do people write Python one-liners?
Because
1. I can.
2. I suck at Perl.
3. I like packing up a lot of logic into a single Python expression. It feels a little more like I'm dealing with pure math.

Open source yes, free software no.
That's what Stallman was talking about when he said he didn't like the new term.
How about a browser plugin compiled into native code?
Duh, let go of one barrier and people will instantly come up with another.
I think it's time for the mankind to realize that changing the world will never help anybody. If you want change, change yourself.
Ultimate solution to this, and a handful of other problems:
1. Buy a geographical atlas, with no countries marked at all,
2. Write "world" on it,
3. Tell everyone else to do the same.

Duh, the universe is written in Lisp, dude. Did you ever hear of tail recursion optimization techniques? :)

Shouldn't be too hard, should it?
Not so long ago I wrote a simple mark&sweep GC over a weekend, with no previous practical experience in this area at all.
But does netcraft confirm it?

From the top of my head: Simulating quantum computers?
I was about to write that that's what I always do, but then I reflected and decided not to.
Nice, true, etc. but everyone here on /. already knows that. Now, what can we do to stop it, hm?
You mean Godwin?
