I don't really get this... yhis whole thing is bullshit, Linux is *not* going under GPLv3 any time soon, Linus doesn't care to, and if he did he does *NOT* have the right, legally, to change the licensing of all the parts of the kernel he didn't write.
There might be a point where GPLv3 licensed software FOR linux is launched, but even nowadays parts that are areguably vital to any fully working Linux system aren't GPLv2 licensed (Perl, Python), so I don't see the connection, really.
They should have a way to check that on their own.. what the fuck, why can't I delete shit? The illegal thing is to print more than two copies (and only if he's informed that he shouldn't), not to be able to
Why? Why is that guy (bush) alive? I'm not saying that I wish he was dead, which I do, but I consider kind of off topic, but why, if terrorists are SO dangerous haven't he been taken out in his trips to, say, Latin America?
I mean, you don't even need a bomber.. a not-even-that-well-placed sniper could take him out any day, and it'd be much harder to detect and stop than a bomber, if he was willing to die for it.
or a suicide bomber, since that's the topic.. Islamic people aren't afraid of dying for their god or whatever..
This proves they're smarter than they (not Islamic "them" but American "them") think.. they are afraid of represalies... or whatever the word is. So, it comes to reason, if Bush is still alive, he won't die from a terrorist attack, unless it's a rouge Arab gone berserk, and if this happens, a stupid jamming signal won't do any good.
It's as Shevek said... laws are stupid and useless. Would you kill me? no. And if you WOULD.. would a law stop you from doing it? NO.

Yes I'm sort of a Nintendo Fan.
I still miss Syndicate, Myst, and Doom2
and Monkey Island is still the best game series ever made and to be made
I don't know about other comunities, but people in #gentoo are helpful with the common mundane questions as well. Many times the help is a man reference, but at least they tell you where to look for what you're looking for
simple. If Vista goes up, so will hardware prices. If a PC comes to cost 3/4ths of what an expandable desktop Mac does, I'm gone to the apple side. And until the gaming companies see that everybody is doing this, I'll just have to dual-boot with XP..
Oh my god, you people are SO blind that I don't know if to laugh or cry, or pitty you, or all at once. As Ani DiFranco says "mind control is deep here".
There's NOTHING more important than the people and their right to know. You're here, and that means you have SOME connection with geekiness and in the deepest depths, hackerdom, and the only reason they've been demonized and misstreated all these decades is solely because of their stride for free-ness of information.
What's the need of hiding a video with people vandalizing a police car? it is surely not more important than SHOWING a video with a police officer hurting a citizen for making use of their freedom of speech and thought? Anyone remember the investigations on anti-bushers right after 9/11? or the.. don't know the english for it, but all the police killings (policemen killing, not the other way around) in the 80's ("who watches the watchmen", anyone?). But you americans are so gullible and brainwashed by your government, and patched up with your cars and your credit cards, and microwave ovens that you can't see that nothing your press is able to tell you is clean, un-meddled-with truth, and when you come across one of those, YOU ACTUALLY SAY THEY SHOULD BE IN PRISSION for not wanting to STOP showing it.
I would be sorry for you, if your votes wouldn't put in jeopardy the freedom of most countries in the world. Being this so, I'm scared.. very very scared. I can't but hope the Empire falls quick and hard, ASAP, and someone gets the sense in putting some education in you lot.
For the time being, I'd start by reading some Canadian press, or something. Might give you a brain.
1-5% of programmer-written code, I meant. Many times it is reused code, put into engines and whatnot, that's true. I would add all of the OpenGL and D3D libraries to that 1-5%
Plus, I'm a game programmer. Only about 1% to 5% of a high performance 3D game is written in assembly, but without that, you wouldn't be able to enjoy Doom3 or Stalker at a respectable framerate
You still come down to it.
And Java and it's cousins' bitcodes are not more nor less than VM assembly. And even if they are written in C, they have a lot of machine-code constants and whatnot. Ok, it's not assembly, it's even lower, and they are not writing the programs in it, but to do the decoding, they need to know how to write a flow control in assembly, when is it better to use a register than memory, and what are the probabilities of a certain piece of code being in the cache, to make a good compiler. That's all part of the "assembly language programming knowledge" the way I see it

you dont block IPs.. you just put people who excert their free speech in jail

Too many Java games to be too scared, tho

that's retarded.. if assembler was obsolete and no longer learned who the hell would write the f*ing compilers you use? -tard
