Also being a Canadian, I agree wholeheartedly with the thrust of your argument. For now, we'll just have to sit back and wait until the EU
starts fighting amongst themselves as they have for most of the past five hundred years.I'll just satisfy myself by taking another look at Berlusconi
getting cracked in the face. A couple more of them and he'll start to look like a hockey player. The EU is a joke.
Hasn't the Freedom of Association been cancelled out by the anti-gang
legislation, wherein you cannot be a member of a criminal gang? As well,
you CAN have a conversation with whoever you want as long as you don't make
a racial comment or insult their religion as this would be a hate crime.
And if you make an inappropriate comment about anything repeatedly or
even look at someone in what is deemed an improper way that is harassment.
As well, if you are talking about getting drugs or robbing a bank, that
would be a conspiracy charge.
So yes, the Bill of Rights does give you a right to talk to anyone you
want. Just be very careful what you talk about.
This has to be one of the worst examples I've seen of law enforcement
over stepping their boundaries. Nobody can argue that child porn is
bad stuff BUT taking your computer if you accidentally dl it is almost
more outrageous than 20 years in prison for possession.
Wouldn't it be better if you were trying to download something of
dubious origin to save it on a USB thumb drive? Just bypass the
hard drive until you're sure it's safe.
This must be getting old to the people that use Windows and have to put up with these things, but to the one percent of us that use Linux, it never becomes old. I feel rather schadenfreude!
It seems when the only thing of value that the U.S. can produce is
Britney Spears and her ilk, you've got to protect that to the fullest
extent of the law. And if that doesn't work make some new laws.
What the U.S. should be working on is a new business model.
Three strikes and you're out. Nice analogy, another crooked game.
I don't think you did dismiss my point by virtue of replying to my post.
Rather than being dismissive, it seemed defensive.
It is heartening to see that your entire family enjoys KDE. For myself,
I'll be sticking to something lighter weight like, well, everything else.
What would make me happy is for someone to revive Kahakai, which is still
chugging along every day on my laptop.
Perhaps your daughter doesn't notice but KDE is s-l-o-w too.
Ummm... you missed my point, which was they are using a hackneyed old
advertising ploy to obscure the fact that it's got problems.
Your whites may be whiter, etc., but how does your sound work?
Has anyone yet mad a connection to this episode and the fact that jobs are
fleeing civilized countries were you could refuse to do your job because
there is icky cigarette smoke residue on a Mac Mini and going to uncivilized countries where you'd be fired on the spot for suggesting it?
I'd bet there's a guy in Asia right now, smoking a cigarette and having
a good laugh reading about this.
To say that someone did an objective test which found mp3s or flacs sound better is fundamentally flawed. Now if you listened enough and trained your ears you would hear things that others might miss. I have no doubt that a top studio producer would hear things in the mix that I would not. And also,I would hear things that the teenager up the street with ADD and a fifteen second attention span would not. If you want to LISTEN to music, you have to really LISTEN. And I don't care if some people think that mp3s sound better. Their opinions are obviously irrelevant. Even a 320 kb/s mp3 sounds "off". Some people think Creative makes a good sound card. Go figure.

Nice to see someone else who's spending too much time on/. Made me laugh! Almost as much as which is better, Fedora or Ubuntu.
It must have been a slow decade. If computers are all about problem solving, then what problem did the iPod or iPhone solve? I can tell you one it created, the world's garbage dumps will be filling up with them soon.
Three and a half billion would probably just cover the bills for a month in Iraq. One of these days Uncle Sam's gonna reach in his pocket for more money and find out he spent it all!
A job for Bill Gates, smartest man in the world. Only he can catch Osama Bin Laden and keep the world safe for democracy.
Isn't this all sounding like the story line to a bad movie?
Until then the Gnome developers can just keep using their Apple laptops running OS X, as that seems to be all they ever to write about.
Makes me wonder if they even use Gnome.
In the meantime, I'll be sticking to Fluxbox.
While they keep making things for Joe Average (who won't use Linux).
Wouldn't it be nice to go back decades ago, perhaps doctors could start making housecalls again and we can all drive Pontiac Catalinas. You're better off hoping that you don't get sick. Or shipped off to Afghanistan.
Just as "someone" had to pay for that free beer, someone of course, must pay for the health care. In Canada (yes, that one) I can go in to see the doctor or if I were to break my arm go to the hospital with no money,no deductible,no up front cost,nothing. Consequently our taxes are higher than yours, but we haven't been brainwashed to hate them as much as you have. As a result,overall our health costs are much lower per person than in the "free market" medical system. Try it, you'll like it.
It's funny because it's true. And no you are not responsible personally as I am quite sure that nobody with any power, influence or self respect would respond in the manner you did. You're probably more reponsible for Jerry Springer's high ratings. By the way I HAVE free health care, and it's great.
My understanding is that inflation was caused in the 1970s because of the United States rampant spending in Vietnam and subsequent dropping of the
gold standard. Not the Europeans "Socialism". In fact there seems to be a direct correlation between most problems in the world and the U.S.
Speaking on behalf of the rest of the world, we'd like to say thank you
for all the insight and entertainment this issue has raised about your
country. Reagan a good President... indeed! We don't want health care
for our children! Hilarious, just hilarious. Keep up the good work.
Perhaps a better analogy might be if Bill Gates can borrow Linus Torvalds car,then why can't Linus borrow Bill's?
It's rumoured that Bill has a Porsche 959 that he's never driven.
Yes you can! By giving your money to those companies who don't use these tactics and questionable practices. Such as, er, um... uhhhhh.... well, maybe I spoke precipitously when I said yes you can. No you can't.

The new KDE makes your whites whiter and your brights brighter. They've lost direction.

A lot of people don't know that Schwinger himself was also very entertaining at dinner parties, and a bit of a lothario. Hence the term sha-wing!
