Fedora is Free. Arguably more so than Debian since there's no official non-free repo.
Geez, it's not as if checking how moronic you sound (hint: very) while resorting to personal attacks on trivia while being badly wrong yourself is a new thing.
The chipset does support USB Host mode. Linux drivers for it don't... or should I say didn't. Someone just announced USB host mode patches for kernel yesterday on maemo-developers mailing list.
Presumably you'll still need power injection hack, though.
How does it come from denying your human nature and animal nature?
I can see how someone who believes he's a mirror image of an almighty god would think he's perfect as is and can't be improved.
But if anything, acknowledging the fact that one is merely an animal should make one more likely to regard artificial as potentially better, since "natural" is just another word for "whatever crap evolution tacked together that was barely good enough to survive". Having few actually working and "intelligently designed" parts would be refreshing.
It's something that happens had you interbred that modem and the wireless router. A modem with some router, firewall and switch features and sometimes wireless bundled.
Nothing now required, but often convenient for people who don't want to have all that gear separately.
You are basically asserting that if we got rid of corporations that we would end up with a better class of person. No, he's basically asserting that we will end up with the exact same class of evil and greedy persons we have now, but individually they're not capable of causing nearly as much damage to the society.
The middle level guy is either a fool or prefers to risk the consequences to keep his job. The people running the corporation would always do whatever they could to exploit other people. Corporations are only capable of doing what the people working for them are willing to do. And therein lies the crux of the matter. The "fool", when covering behind the anonymity of the corporation and "I'm only following orders" excuse WILL do things he would not alone. And the people running the corporation hiding behind the anonymity of the corporation and "I didn't do it, it was the fool" excuse WILL do things he would not alone.
The hilarious part is that when another civilization discovers our remains they're going to wonder how the hell we were able to predict the apocalypse to within two years. After all, why else would we reckon our time in such a way that the calendar ends exactly then? Well, they would just discover all the other few hundred thousand apocalypse predictions with their assorted calendar endings and conclude we were loons, and that you've got to guess it right eventually.
Not to rain all over your parade of doom, but I doubt the erruption is going to kill us all...it's just going to send ash and shit all over the palce I don't know about you, but most of us have to eat. "Ash and shit all over the place" means no sun means volcanic winter means no plants means HUNGRY.
not explode cities.:p Well...at least that's what I understand. Yeah, I realize it's not quite as exciting to die slowly out of starvation than go out in a grandiose exploding city event, but no worries, you can have that too! Though it's just mere ten thousand square kilometers or so, so make sure you live somewhere in America, the closer the better.
If 10 meters of water on average is an ocean planet, what is Earth? We are covered to two thirds in water, and a lot of it is hundreds of meters deep. Average ocean depth on Earth is 3720 meters, average land elevation is 820 meters above sea level. You do the math.
Re:Just installed FC5 with SELinux turned on.

SELinux by Example
·
· Score: 1
So, before i can turn SELinux back on, i have to go through the SELinux learning curve. A book like this could help. I've not yet looked for on-line docs. You might not need the book any more. The configuration has been simplified a lot in FC6, it has a daemon that monitors the log files, and a gui tool that pops up a notification whenever SELinux blocks something, and in common cases tells you what do to tweak the specific setting.
For example, I tried temporarily turning on the "don't allow apache to read home dirs", and get this if I try to access them: http://www.cc.puv.fi/~e0600613/sealert.png
or more correctly, we haven't observed one [speciation event] We have observed quite a few speciation events in plants and insects.

However, despite the fact that we've (for example) been breeding dogs for 80,000 years or more, they're _still the same species_, even though there's more variance in physical characteristics between a huskies and bulldogs than some distinct species such as cougars and jaguars. Are they? Or do we just continue to refer them as such out of convenience? Consider the fact that, for example, the size difference between smallest and largest dog breeds is such that they are physiologically incapable of breeding with each other, a Great Dane and chihuahua can't get on with it.
These days GNOME is mostly there (a) as an ego trip, and (b) because it's more compatible with cheapskate proprietary software developers. These days GNOME is mostly there because many people very much prefer it thank you very much.
You can choke my desktop with billions of useless configuration knobs for every minor functionality nobody ever knew existed, and fischer-price & blinkenlights infestation over my dead body.
Now take your misguided evangelism and stick it where the sun doesn't shine.
As for differences, I don't really see the ribbon as such a major design change, although I do find it annoying that Microsoft decided to use a non-standard UI control.
Microsoft has used non-standard UI controls in Office (and Visual Studio) pretty much forever. They're their testbeds for them.
Not very, but since their customers are reflective of the part of population (geeks) more likely to pirate than the general population, it seems likely those targeting gp would see even larger benefits.
And the information on the 10 things you might know is wrong. 1. The blog states the vaccine only decreases the chance--that's wrong. If you have not been previously infected with HPV then there is a 100% effective rate. For someone crusading against "wrong info", spreading blatant lies is pretty worrying indicator. It's already been mentioned again, but since you keep on repeating the lie, it needs to be pressed again: it prevents only a few strains, which amount to maybe 70% of the cancer cases.
Dude, until I can click on setup.exe You mean "I can click on setup.exe" after I've: a) spent few hours googling for it, chasing broken download links in dusty corners of the web, or banging my head to the wall because it's hosted on some thrice-cursed commercial download farm that gives you the alternative of throwing a bunch of money for them or waiting in queue until the other 10000 people in front of you are done b) successfully managed to evade all the crapware infested shit lurking in the same corners
and it just works, and then there is an "Unistall Program" menu in the program folder on the program menu...
You mean "it just works" as in: 1) I've got to scan it with anti-scumware to make sure the part b) of the last phase was successful. 2) Hope the installer works 3) Answer bunch of pointless questions, remember to tell it to not install any scumware not caught in the previous steps. 4) Hope the installer works 5) Hope it didn't ruin your computer. 6) Pray really hard the "hello world" you just installed doesn't require administrator privileges to run. 7) Hope the uninstaller works. 8) New version? Security update? Remember to keep checking manually, go to step a.)
I just don't have the time.
Me neither. Which is why I don't want to go through all that crap. Which is why I don't use Windows any more.
Exaggerated? You bet. Does it happen? You bet. Running into at least few of those steps is hardly rare, but even in the optimal case, good package manager with easy frontend and comprehensive repository is arguably better.
100% of Americans love GWB 100% of Americans love Fox News
So it's only half of 'em? Gee, almost no-one, a puny minority of mere 150 million. Nossiree, nobody should be allowed to joke about that.
100% of Americans know absolutely nothing about geography, politics, or history
100%? No. Enough that the stereotypes are largely justified? Hell yes. COME ON, 20% you can't find the goddamn PACIFIC OCEAN! Single largest thing on the planet? Can't find on the map? CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT SHIT? How long before they start spouting "world being round is only a theory"?
That's absolutely the worst thing that can possibly happen.
Windows is pretty stable in theory and on it's own. It's not stable in practice. Why? Because companies provide drivers on their own and delivered with their hardware. Drivers that suck. Drivers that are unstable pieces of crap. Drivers that take the OS down with them.
It's also a "critical mass" sort of thing. Once all hardware companies provide full support for Linux, then Linux will be in a position to truly be a mainstream replacement for Windows.
Once all hardware companies provide the same kind of "support" for Linux, Linux won't have to replace windows, Linux will BE Windows.
Having played at customizing it a bit recently, that pretty much sums up TinyERP.
It's got a lot of potential, but absolutely requires someone who's familiar with it, or your own guy with plenty of time to work around all the small and not-so-small issues (without documentation, unless you hand over the cash). Some of the bugs are really embarrassing and would've been caught even with minimal testing, if Tiny does any QA on it at all, it's truly appalling, and I can't help but wonder if it's intentional - their business is selling expensive "partnerships", documentation and support, after all.
Python actually is partially on sourceforge, though they've been moving away for quite a while, but tracker is pretty much the only thing left and even that is being moved at the moment.
He's right though, in a roundabout way sourceforge is great for identifying mature projects - you don't find them there.

There are self-charging electrical watches that indeed do what you say, power small generators from a pendulum.

They don't generate anywhere near enough to power a cell phone, though.

Oh Europe, why did you have to export all your religious crazies to the Americas???
Hey, that's not fair! We only exported a few of them, your own fault for letting the stuff multiply.
Why else do they always say "Take me to your leader"???
Well, they don't. It's all just part of horrible miscommunication, the poor aliens can't really pronounce English.
What they're trying to say is, "Take me to your dealer".

With competent support, it's probably great.
You must be using a meaning of the word "idiot" I wasn't previously aware of.
The meaning "lacking common sense" fits the bill quite well.
Putting all the eggs into a single basket is stupid, maybe it paid for you (so far), but it's still stupid.
They try, but don't do a very good job at it. Ever heard of cancer?
