Yes, as an official red hat representative, I can say that we can. All you need to do at this time is respond posting your server addresses and login credentials. We will fix it from there.
Ok, the login name is root and I use the default password: password for all our production machines.
Oh, I almost forgot. Our IP is 207.46.19.254
Please let our CEO know that I was the one who gave you this information.
Just as a note, most jurisdictions have death taxes ("estate taxes"), in some cases as high as 90%, such as in Sweden. But even most US states have them. Physical property is not inalienable at all.
Stop lying, Sweden no longer has a tax on dying.
and it was never this high, your truth was a lie.

Seriously, we used to have this type of tax but removed it some years agon. Before the tax was removed I believe it was on the same level as normal income tax (30%) During the red 70:s I believe it was much higher, but then again so was anybody you spoke to.
Doesn't he also provide you with continual service in the form of general house maintenance, plus snow showeling in the winter and perhaps guards your (temporary) home, keeping it safe from burglars?
...this creative process only leads to discoveries, not creations. In other words, something that was already there, waiting to be discovered, a truth as you call it. That's different than artistic creation, which does add something that was not there in the first place.
RSA encryption
Even though I oppose patents on algorithms, the mentioned system was not "just discovered", but an impressive creation / construction. Creating this algoritm took several steps and was a creative and directed effort.
One could argue that any abstract painting was just waiting to be discovered by an artist, discovering what looks good on the canvas. (I know his is not the case and I also know the creativity and heart that goes into each painting.) In my opinion, creation is directed discovery followed by implementation.
If you have a right to a retirement then why don't they?
As a developer I don't have the right to retirement any more than you do. I earn my pension by having part of what I make put aside for later use. (Not the code, the money)
If you are anything like me, you do what you do not in order to make the money, but because you have to, because you love it. I don't mind the money I make, but if all I wanted was a lot of money, I would go and do something else. Since I don't want my soul to die, I'm staying with software. I suppose you would still create your music?
It is my understanding that the copyright laws where made, not to help artists make a living, but to advance the arts. In my opinion, the proposed law would only hinder new artists in creating what they need/love to do, and not advance the arts in any way at all.
I am not adding my own classes to the collections framework, but I do suspect that this is what you think.
In my case these are components of a language for the java platform, where each component represents an operation. By traversing the linked components, all the code will be exercised, but you still have the option of dynamically altering this structure. If there was no linked list, encapsulation would be broken and the system would be a whole lot harder to understand.
I should probably have used the wording prime components instead of just primitives since I am refering to the low level components of this project, not of java primitives which may have led your thoughts in the wrong direction.
Perhaps you are a better programmer than I am, but I often implement linked lists.
I build graphs of objects where each part handles a small part of a larger operation. That is, the entire complex hierarchy works smoothly together, because all the primitives are easy to understand in isolation. (Not just linked lists, branching allowed etc...)
When implementing encryption algorithms, I frequently get to use the binary operators. Why would this be a bad thing? I would say, not knowing them well is probably not significant, it just means you have not worked with them. On the other hand, I think that it is a positive indicator when you find that someone knows them and is interested enough to learn.
Refering to your story about the many votes for an illegal chess move:
Have you ever heard of any representative of the people who have voted for unconstitutional laws? I know of more than 100 MPs who have done so and that is just in my country.
In any gathering of people aiming to decide on matters, you will find those who vote wrong by belief, by accident or for personal gain. A lot of good/honest people can even be convinced to vote against their own beliefs, if you change the way they view the world.
If you can trick a driver into believing that the film of a sunny road he is watching is actually reallity, he will whistle as he drives off a cliff. All his moves are correct based on the information he has even though the decisions he makes are dead wrong.
Like the gal who was on the show "Smarter than a fifth grader", who said she thought Europe was a country... it was ha ha very funny and cute.. but really that is more of an example of how self absorbed the people in this country are.
Well, she will soon be right. They will just have to find a good reason for ignoring those irish no voters.
If the defence in a murder trial claimed that little green men from Mars materialized, shot the deceased and dematerialized, I doubt that the prosecution would even bother trying to disprove it because the probability of the jury finding it reasonable is nil.
This is exactly the reason I never got involved in the SETI project.:-)
Its kind of funny (not really) how a lot of countries ended up with a similar scheme of no wiretap warrants needed - the "terrists" are out to get us - kind of laws.
If I didn't know better I would think that a couple of "old boys" from each country got together and decided what to force into local legislation. The recommended way: to use some "great external threat" to get the parliament moving in the right direction.
In my [european] country, the threat from terrorists was cited. When an MP asked when our country had ever even experienced terrorism, it was mentioned that an old primeminister was shot to death, a minister of foreign affairs was stabbed to death and a man had been arrested who had planned to kidnap an old minister of justice.
These are all very serious crimes, but the first was commited by a single run down alcoholic, the second was commited by a single psycologically unstable man, which was also the case in the third crime. How many believe that these three violent crimes would have been stopped by using warrantless wiretapping?
More importantly, how did these crimes constitute terrorism? Needless to say, we now have warrantless wiretapping.

Have you been smoking moon rocks? Dont you know thats loco?
Somebody think of the children!
However, sometimes we conclude that copy and paste is the best choice.
Cut'n'paste is funnier if you are several people working on the same project.
Gives new meaning to the phrase 'someone stole my code'.
Why not just send it into space?
Because sometimes they come back!
You mean my internet
:3.

Excuse me, I've gotta go find some VC.
The war is over Rambo, just come on home!
You can program assembler on the java virtual machine as well. See project Jasmin if interested.

Those where my 2 cents (EURO btw).
Well, I hear torture is ok.
What Comcast did wrong was to change the service and not inform their customers.
No, Comcast actively engaged in sabotageing their customers communications.
If I'm not mistaken, there didn't even use to be a Rhode Island before the 50's.

Sarkozy, any ideas?

(As a not native english speaker, this phrase had me laughing for a looong time. Thanks.)
