Shoe? Other foot? It's still wrong to do. That's like saying "Your murdurous dictator is more benevolant than ours normally, but today is different, how does the shoe feel on the other foot?"
Releasing a distribution before it's ready can be disasterous (RedHat's gcc 2.96 anyone?)
I believe this has been addressed several times by Bero on this board. If I read his posts correctly, it is the people's code that is broken, not gcc 2.96, though I don't claim to be proficient in this area, I'm just throwing the information out there.
BTW, I love debian, and redhat, and freebsd, and I'm gonna give gentoo a try soon:)
English has a language has evolved for quite some time, and it's rules aren't exactly the clearest things in the world, but I have just now made a new rule (which is not much more crazy than some of the others):
A proper noun which represents a group of people is treated as singular (like "sand"), but when referred to with a pronoun the plural is used (they). This is because we don't have any pronouns which are plural in meaning but singular in form.
There you go, no more inconsistancy! A better solution might be to add a new pronoun, something like "thes," or "yem" maybe. That way, we can be consistant in our use of nouns which are singular in form but plural in meaning. Though, I can see a company being both plural and singular, like any other group of people.
"My LUG is full of great people, they propably know more about linux than anybody!"
or using my new pronoun:
"My LUG is full of great people, thes propably know more about linux than anybody!"
Maybe people think about being offended too much... I mean, should I bitch about Foghorn leghorn being offensive to southern peoples, I mean, they can't help where they are born, or who they learned to speak from...
Anyone who would feel bad because they saw a movie where people who had dark skin were evil probably feel bad about pretty much anything.
You are an idiot! That's not what he typed at all! You are assuming you know his logic when nothing he typed indicated what that might be. By the same token, I can take what you said and come to an equally radical, and most likely false conslusion:
You cannot mean what you say!
unless you believe the old line "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs"?
From your flawed line of reasoning, I take it you think that everybody deserves a computer, a million dollar house, and several Jaguars in the garage?
.. you get the point. Anyway, dip, the original poster merely questioned whether these people need computers more than they need other things which that money could provide.
I used to build parts of my system from scratch, and Mozilla did take a long time to build, but then I learned the convenience of binary builds... still, I wonder how long it would take to compile mozilla on my Athlon XP 1600:)
Galeon can do cookies and images on a per-site basis, though I don't know about using a false user agent string. WRT tabs, Galeon was the first browser I saw to have tabs (though that doesn't necessarily mean that it was the first, just the first that I saw:))
Galeon is by *far* my favorite browser on any platform.
Firstly, the parent comment is a joke, secondly, the command line is faster at many tasks, not just a select few. I suppose if all you do is view email and browse the web, then that isn't the case, but more advanced computer usage yields many cases where command line tools (not just a command line, it's actually the tools that one has access to that's important, like a base linux system) are many times faster.
I've only had my address for about 3.5 years, but it's only in the past year that I started having trouble with spam. I gave my address in emails, newsgroups, etc, but for some reason eluded the address collectors until just a year ago. And while there are good spam filters available (Spamassassin), they don't catch all mail at higher thresholds, and catch legitimate mail at lower thresholds.
Well, I don't know. I've set up and run several LFS boxes, slackware boxes, and FreeBSD boxes, but have not once enjoyed a Debian set up. I think Debian clashes with some people's "groove":)

As a reader who is also looking for literature more "filling", what do you recommend? This is an honest question.
For example: the large, national "Dick's Sporting Goods" is *not* at "dicks.com", it's at "dickssportinggoods.com".
LOL, I actually made that mistake, and realized my error *just* after hitting the enter key!

Maybe everyone should quit their bitchin'
Racially offensive? Of what race is he? Maybe only racist people find that true.
I have to disagree. People can get away with lying in court too.
And this is supposed to make it right? When resources are scarce and people are desparate, they exploit each other more. What a lovely vicious circle.
He didn't say it was right or wrong, he simply stated the truth.
Why must people assume that when you say something you support the facts you stated?
Geeze
And using equally outrageous logic: turning that program into a 200,000 page program would make it SOOO much easier to read and maintain.
Actually, yes.
The joke, I believe, is targetting Mr. Stallman's appearance, not his social behavior or his environment.
I've been to Canada several times, am I allowed to think this is funny?
I think it's just that the different software pieces get downloaded heavily at different times (IE a new distro release, a new kernel release, etc).
Then get yourself a DC10+ (http://www.pinnaclesys.com) or other video capture card and play through that, that's what I do.
Eh? How large is your family?
Here in Rochester, they luckily don't block port 80, but *DO* block port 25 so I can't run a mail server.

Given the current atmosphere, I think I *will* sue you
Idiot, that's not what he said. You took something he typed, and twisted it into an extreme statement.
Lemme guess, you also like to associate yourself with a political party, and you watch ABC for "news."

Maybe I have to spend more time using Debian.
That still doesn't back up the previous statement. The shows enumerated on that list are opinion shows and never claimed to be "news"
You're not even close! Anyway, you're both wrong, since we call the government a Republic. In reality, though, our government is a corporate republic.
But in no way shape or form is our government a theocracy!
No, it's true. I use eBay frequently to sell stuff, and people with webtv and aol email addresses are the most likely to be clueless.

Though somebody selling a 25k arcade machine prolly knows what he's doing
He who knows not, and knows he knows not is a wise man
