If you're regularly using NTPD your time is probably not off by more than one second, and if you've got a GPS receiver it almost certainly isn't. But I agree with you that a kernel change isn't necessary, in fact, the kernel shouldn't be involved with terrestial time at all.
PC hardware sucks, or just mine. I sync ntpd every 4 hours on my workstation which is on all the time, consistantly it needs to adjust it by "0.31xxx" seconds. And that's just for four hours, imagine running it only once per day or once per week or something.
I agree, they shouldn't just do as their customers tells them to but rather what is best for the game and everyone. It's in the druid forum so of course almost everyone there want druids to be better, but it doesn't mean that they should just implement whatever they say.
the AWP wouldn't be in CS for an example.
You say it like it would be a bad thing. *confused*
It's not at all impossible. More people closer/faster to him could be using lokitorrent than used suprnova. Bittorrent is only as fast as the people using it are uploading.
What? You mean you don't comment your code to include not only what it does, but why it does it? And maybe more importantly, why it does it the way you do it, and not some other way?
I much rather have it working properly the first time, and then if I want to change the kernel than to have it not work because it hasn't been verified to work on my exact hardware and leave me with a broken system.
I think the secret to using emacs comfortably is to map your right alt key (admit it, you've never touched that key in all your life) to be the left control key.
Ehh, maybe for you with us layout. I use it all the time (swedish layout) as some, albeit not so commonly used chars are bound to it. Most used are probably @ (right alt-2) and $ (right alt-3). I got those bound to capslock ($ without shift and @ with shift) as it's just a pain in the **s to code perl without it.. but they are used.
And just for the record, I love vim and couldn't live with out!
I find it ironic that you're bashing W3C and making an html/xml-error in the same post. You include the type of tag you're closing, which is not valid.:)
Maybe in webbrowsers, but the feature has been there forever in editors. Of course you could argue that tabs and gestures have been around before Opera added them to their browser.
I dont know how Winny works but freenet does this yes. As do GNUnet (and you can turn this behaviour off, I dont know if you can in freenet). I think it's a bit weird that you can be accused of doing something when someone else is doing it, it's like phone companies should be accused of helping bank robbers if they happened to talk about it over the phone.. but I guess nothing is impossible with stupid technology laws...
But also, where do you draw the line? as others have mention should the makers of HTTP be guilty for anything illegal said/distributed over http? same with FTP? IRC? ICQ? etc...
Guns are designed to shoot bullets efficiently. You can use them to shot anytying, including people. The choice to shoot people is yours, and has nothing to do with the utility of the gun.
Filesharing applications are designed to share files efficiently. You can use them to share anything, including copyrighted material. The choice to share copyrighted materials is yours, and has nothing to do with the utility of the application.
Another issue is that he's using some weird bundled version from some company in someones basement. I'm sure there is at least one that package gimp with freetype included etc... with Photoshop (and other comercial software) there is only one vendor and hence only one package way (excpet different versions and maybe "pay some more to get me!"-addons) but all in all, if you install Photoshop you get pretty much the same thing all the time. Which is not true for free software where there are many different people that create their own packages with different options enabled.

I know a guy who has the entire run of The Simpsons, which is 59 gigs IIRC.
59!? must be bad rips, mine is 72.
$ du -hs/it/tv/Simpsons

and another 16 gig of Futurama...
and yes, I own all the 3 seasons of Simpsons released on dvd so far (and all four of Futurama). I can't wait for the rest of the simpsons to be released also...
yes most window managers can change the size of windows, but that's not what I said. I want it to remember how big it was the last time it was used, as a lot of other programs does. Mozilla for example remember how big it was last time and starts that big this time, but ohh no, that little fileselector just has to be different and start in tiny-tiny mode all the time.
Getting it to remember the size is the single most important thing imo, I couldn't care less about "Desktop"-buttons and such, I would probably not use them and if they can be removed, all the better. But they do not bug me as much as that silly small little file selector does.
and they only send this image to you, every spam mail they send gets a unique random-char image name. They can see in their logs if you've seen/loaded it or not. Of course, you could tell all your friends about the link to and they could look at it, but then they'd notice that it is more than one ip that has seen the image.
And no, it's not really that hard to implement such a thing... just a little bit of mod_rewrite magic in apache for example.
* Remember the damn size of the thing! or if that for some reason is not acceptable, then at least let it accept a standard -geometry argument!
Why does it always have to make such a damn small window? It's not the 1980s, we got larger resolutions than 320x200, we should be able to use them too!

Seems like you were not here for the Napster affair then.
Seems like you didn't read the whole thing, or believe that US is the only country in the world.
(added bold to original comment to make things clearer)
Your dog also eats dog food and licks his own ass. I don't think he has world domination on his mind.
;)
So? It's a dog, of course it eat dog food. It's like saying we're eating human food as an insult.
as for licking our own ass, we're all just jealous

No point in competing for speed, better to make it properly. As Debian does.
It's more a question of "how low can we go"?
Slashcode needs a "-1, Boring and pointless correction to an attempt at humor"

I live by the theory that anyone who says "lol" is the real idiot, works so far.
Nothing beats konqueror support for google and other things.
;) (of course that is customizable too)
To search, yo simply put gg: plus the search terms on the location bar.
Opera beats it, with one char! just "g <search terms>"

So? An evil spammer could still see if you've loaded the image. If they send you a link to an image such as:
d qq weqxz.png
http://some.evil.server/images/asda2739asfafaas
and they only send this image to you, every spam mail they send gets a unique random-char image name. They can see in their logs if you've seen/loaded it or not. Of course, you could tell all your friends about the link to and they could look at it, but then they'd notice that it is more than one ip that has seen the image.
