Holy shit, what does everyone have against ESR? He's done a good job of convincing companies to think harder about open source (for that matter, he helped come up with the definition of open source. Remember, before him, RMS's Free Software was the only game in town). Without ESR, Netscape would not have opened Netscape. Okay, we can all bitch about how Mozilla has taken 3 years, but better 3 years than never! Otherwise you'd probably still be stuck with Netscape 4.XX, or Konquerer (and boy would it suck to be a Gnome user).
On top of that, how cool was the text adventure based kernel config? Yeah, he's egotistical. Yeah, he gets more publicity than other coders who have done equivalent amounts of work. But I don't think he's done anything worthy of this kind of hatred.

Yes, it's under the QPL. It's also under the GPL. If you want it free, you may have the GPL'ed version. If you want to write closed source (or at least, non GPL-compatible) software, then you've got to fork over the developer fees.
It strikes me, this is the best of all worlds. TrollTech makes money off of closed source companies, the community gets QT, and the world at large is monetarily encouraged to write GPL-compatible software (whereas with the LGPL, it doesn't matter).

Huh, that's funny, I always used my left hand because the right was occupied using the mouse. Of course, I had a friend who moved his mouse to the other side, so he could use his right. Different strokes, I guess.

I think this happened to me! I got clear holes in my first Final Fantasy 8 PC disc. It looked like someone had spilled some very mild acid on the disc or something, because it ate through the top of the cd, down to the aluminum layer, and stopped there. There was one little cluster of about a dozen holes in one area, and then another 4 or 5 on another part of the CD.

Why do you have to condone abortion as a libertarian? If you believe that a fetus is a living human being, then abortion is murder, and libertarian or no, should be illegal. Now then, I don't happen to believe that, but I don't see any inconsistency in being a pro-life libertarian.

Why in God's name would you pay $8 to see a girl run around, NOT showing you her (sfx-enhanced) breasts, when you can get FREE pics, of girls ACTUALLY topless, on the net?
That's a better option even if you put aside the whole girlfriend possibility, which I realize may not be possible for some readers of this site.

No, the fundamental problems with micropayments are that they are not easy, and not cheap. Micropayments absolutely would work if, regardless of denomination, nearly all of your money goes to the artist/site owner. My recollection is that Paypal used to just charge a percentage, but they were losing money on teeny tiny transfers (which is exactly what micropayments are THERE FOR!) and so now they charge $0.25 minimum. Money simply cannot be moved for free, and this is why micropayments are not (yet, and maybe never will be) workable.
The other prerequisite is that it be easy. If it were integrated into the browser such that a site can pop up a dialog asking you to donate X amount of money, and you can just click okay. Furthermore, it should remember your preferences if you want it to (automatically donate X every time you load up the site, up to a maximum of once per day, or per week, or whatever, or never donate anything and stop popping up the dialog). Obviously security would be a major concern, and so even if we can find free ways to move money around, it still might not matter. Maybe set a $10 a day cap, and send you a daily email letting you know who you donated to and how much.
Micropayments really are the ONLY way to make an online economy based on content work, I believe. But, unfortunately, it may be impossible, and so content is likely to be purely amature or promotional in nature forever.

*sigh* A dark period in American history to be sure. But, at the same time, what SHOULD we have done? I acknowledge, I don't have the answers. We do know for a fact that there were a very large number of Soviet spies in America. The now-unclassified documents from Russia prove this beyond any doubt. Furthermore, the USSR was absolutely committed to our destruction (Nikita Khrushchev's line "We will bury you" comes immediately to mind).
So, given that, what was the correct course for America to take? Communist witchhunts? Bury our heads in the sand and hope that the Soviet Union collapses? I don't know, but singlemindedly demonizing the Communist witchhunters is stupid.

How about the Little Mermaid? I mean, at least all the others are fairly well known books, and even if kids think that Disney made them up, they'll soon be set straight.
But the Little Mermaid, I didn't even know that was a previously invented story until I read a bit in Death (by Neil Gaiman) about how in the original story she lost her soul and died. I'm guessing you probably didn't know that either, as you missed it in your list.

Er, Kyoto was never passed. Clinton said "yes, I like Kyoto," and Congress said "shove it." Now, Bush is just telling Europe what they should already know, that we never agreed to Kyoto in the first place.

OK, I'll take an RPM. And then lib hell began... three days later I gave up and told her I couldn't do it.
Actually, if you're using Mandrake, the Mandrake-Update tool is actually starting to become useful, give it a go. It's definately not ready for primetime (it sometimes hangs on downloads, or gives highly uninformative error messages ("package installation failed")), but when it works, it does a very good job of satisfying dependencies for you. Basically, the theory is, it uses.rpm, but it acts like.deb.
I'm very much looking forward to this a year from now. Given how much it came along from 7.2 to 8.0, I have high hopes for how it'll work in 8.1 and 8.2. Of course, if you're running 7.0, you'll have to first upgrade to 8.0, which comes with GnuChess and XBoard anyway.

No, it squelches litigation because it removes liability from software vendors. The ABA has one, and ONLY one purpose: to drive up laywer salaries. That's why they make the Bar Exam a pain in the ass restrict supply of new lawyers), that's why they donate 99% of campaign contributions to Democrats (the tobacco lawsuits were one of the biggest windfalls for lawyers, ever), and that's why they're opposing the UCITA.
