I was about to say something like "it's cheap unless you consider taxes"...but thought I'd better check on that. And bigger than shit was I wrong. The USPS actually runs on it's own sales. I guess I'll STFU now.
This is contrasted with Mac OSX which uses a combination of Gracie-style Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Hapkido, and oratorical prowess to keep would-be haxors at bay while the police are enroute. Or the Linux lack of social skills which avoids "physical access" altogether.
If you put a wind sail on a golf cart, then arrogant rich people can combine their favorite two past-times: golf and sailing. It's okay to stereotype rich people, right?
You know that "just works" meme? How about the USER just getting work done, not "enjoying the inspirational GUI". Writing a paper? Doing research? Coding? How about you STFU about how the GUI looks and get your fucking work done? Like your productivity is better with Aero turned on? Wasted HDD, RAM, and Cycles. And that goes triple for every Apple OS.

Among the features are "cloud computing" and "turn-key" email servers. *groan*. You guys have been saying "linux needs an advertising dept"...well this is what happens.
Actually...a lightening rods primary job IS to discharge without a strike.
Lightening is caused by electrical charge difference between clouds and the ground. Electrons tend to build up on higher points, until the difference is great enough to create an arc. Pointed metal poles actually allow electrons to bleed off, which actually prevents most strikes. Only as a secondary job does a lightening rod safely carry the current to ground if struck.
Look at the trailing surfaces of many aircraft, you will see lightening rods pointing back. These are to help bleed off static electricity that is gained by the aircraft rubbing against so much air.
Remind us who is the world's #1 supplier of arms again?
Total: Russia #1, then the US, then France.
Per capita: Isreal #1, then Russia, France, Sweden, Malta, Switzerland, then US at #7.
By pct. of GDP: #1 is Russia, then Uzbekistan, Jordan, Isreal, Macedonia..US is 16. Under Canada and the UK.
I wasn't ragging on the UN oil-for-food program, I was stating that the so called "good guys", the nations who objected to the Iraq invasion, were only protecting their own illegal trade. Smart? Maybe. Good? No.
Where was your righteous indignation when Clinton sent troops to Somalia, Haiti, and Kosovo?
I was an Infantryman from 96 to almost 2003 in the Regular Army. I've been a National Guard Artillerymen ever since. I was in Ramadi for OIF5, where I spent time on FOB defense and patrolling. I've been shot at with RPGs, SAF, and indirect fire more times than I can remember. I don't talk about shooting people unless it's with my fellow troops, but I've "killed" probably thousands of cans of soda, gatorades, and partially-moldy blueberry muffins there. Did I beat Iraqis? Damn right, I beat an Iraqi soldier at rock-paper-scissors once! It went two out of three, I let him have my can of Coke anyway.
I was in during Clinton and Bush, I did my duty. I will continue to do it under Obama. Why? I'm good at it. The fact remains, appeasement doesn't always work. Sometimes you have to take the trash out.
BTW, if we are the chicken hawks, what do you call France and Russia for refusing to get involved? They were selling weapons and buying oil under the table, undermining the UN oil-for-food program the entire time. Is that the honorable alternative?
Who said I was talking about Iraq? I said "sometimes" which is somewhere between Iraq and the Revolutionary War. Being content to sit on the sidelines, never intervening even when you can, is worse than intervening a little too often.
By the same logic, your neighbor can beat his wife...but you don't say anything, cause "hey, it's not MY problem".
We live in a society where 'life' fosters people who mindlessly take the action which most increases value of their assets. If a law is written such that it can be gamed - it will be.
Lawmakers should take that into account and legislate around it; cause they sure ain't gonna change Global Human Behavior any time soon.
Well...FPS games based on the Revolutionary War or the Civil War are hard to come by...because they would be lame. Unfortunately, every other US military involvement fails your criteria. By your standard, the US involvement in WWII was an unjust, illegal war. Or when Clinton sent troops to Somalia.
Sometimes, you have to take the trash out, even if it IS in someone elses house. But if you can't be bothered to fight for OTHER people's future...well by all means, have none of it.

I guess I should have known better to say that here. A one-bit unsigned, 2's complement integer as represented in Big Endian bit order.
I can count how many times I've rooted for Real on a one-bit integer. Yesterday, I didn't even need that.
your ternary operator has a syntax error.
OMFG! Where are my mutherfucking mod points!!! +11

With a big knife you could store them in a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Freezers. RAIF-0 supports striped lawyers.
a few bar associations, including Oklahoma, officially endorsed them.

That is not enough for me.

Do any Slashdotters have info on this topic?

It would be more efficient to outlaw kidnapping and drug dealing.
..in which case you aren't haven't committed a crime, so the difference is zero.
It's never necessary to have a GUI on a server.
They must be the leadership cell of the Beowulf terrorist organization.
What you are telling me is this thing isn't y12.013k compliant?
