What he says.
In any case, nobody knows what happened to Jenkins all those years ago, except Jenkins. Put it this way - if you knew your family was at risk of getting gacked by NK agents, would you say anything that might piss off the Glorious Leader?
Loose socks aren't a "anime-derived fetish" - if you've seen them in anime, it's because they were representing a real-life fad in that anime.
Loose socks as a fashion trend in Japan originated in Ibaraki Prefecture, north of Tokyo, after a local sock company started manufacturing them (this company later went bankrupt after they invested heavily in improving their factory - just as the loose sock fad was coming to and end). The socks spread from Ibaraki down to Tokyo, and then to the rest of urban Japan.
I have a 440GX+ machine that ran RH8.0 with no problems... I haven't upgraded it since then because of Alan Cox's comments about IRQ routing issues with that chipset in later releases, but 8.0 should work fine.
You might be interested to know that one of the late-war invasion plans for Japan involved a landing along the northern coast of Ibaraki and a southern sweep down into Tokyo.
I believe it was proposed as a last resort in the event that the USSR managed to land troops on Honshu, in order to prevent them taking TOkyo themselves.
For the whole savage comments, eating American pilots livers, raping women, bayoneting babies, doesn't quite lend to the whole civilized thing. I suppose the germans weren't much in that way either.
I have a new word for your vocabulary: propaganda.
Please, spare me. His argument was that since the Japanese "think differently", it's OK to drop nukes on them, since they can't be reasoned with. Hardly what I'd call a rational argument.
Would have been nice to ask them beforehand, though, eh? Rather than justifying it after the fact by saying "they would have gone along with it anyway"... after most of them are dead.
They are great people, but not Westerners by any means.
I don't think you'd have to be "overly PC" to see the racism inherent in that statement. For someone who actually spent time there, your horizons don't seem to have been broadened very much... (Disclaimer: I've been living in Japan for the last fifteen years.)
I've never actually tried it, but you might be able to get away with just doing a ssh forward from port 6000 (or whatever port XDCMP runs on) on your laptop to port 6000 on the remote server, and kick off your X session on the laptop with something like "xinit -- -query localhost".
Any system which still stores the hashed passwords in/etc/passwd is almost certainly so old that (a) it has 10,000 other known attack paths and (b) doesn't use MD5 for its hashes.
Solaris 9 runs just fine on machines going back to the SparcStation days. An E450 is a new kid on the block compared to those fossils. Isee nothing unusual about it being able to run Solaris 10.
True. But the article was not an objective analysis of the similarities in method of the two groups - it was a deliberate effort by those on the legally gray side to associate themselves with those who do their best to do what's right, which I'd say is out of line.

He's talking about how you have to switch off all the AutoCrap(TM) in Word to actually make it usable.
From your post, I'd gather that you enjoy having a program tell you what you want to do. That's your choice, but it's not everybody's.

What, some kind of leading-edge jock itch?!
Quoting stuff said by a guy who isn't dead yet is not healthy, OK?

Er... I believe a "couple of thousand grand" is normally called a "couple of million".
I think you meant to say, "When Longhorn comes out, Sun will be worth no more than a chunk of coal" ;)
If you're talking about the problem with loki_patch where it craps out when trying to install the updated files, see here.
Perhaps you missed the second half of that sentence: doesn't use MD5 for its hashes.
Personally, I'd be more worried about handing my password over to someone whose main point of contact is a Hotmail address.
Any system which still stores the hashed passwords in /etc/passwd is almost certainly so old that (a) it has 10,000 other known attack paths and (b) doesn't use MD5 for its hashes.
Not to mention, you'd also end up with the world's largest collection of naked cow pics!

BTW, I am also interested in how well City of Heroes may or may not run under Crossweavers, Wine, and/or WineX.
But not more than in Japanese culture, which neither you nor Mr. Tourrilhes seem to be particularly familiar with.

In case you hadn't noticed, manga aren't your works.
