Some of the bands that I've recently discovered only announce their gigs by posting it on their myspace page, where it quickly gets obliterated by the 'thanks for the add! xoxox' crap. Even worse, some have the bizarre practice of announcing their gigs to people only on their friends list:/
Eugh.

Nah, already run ClamXAV on my macbook, admittedly more for scanning windows attachments for the users I administer (a mix of XP and Vista):)
I've been to a couple of Joomla conferences, and I have to say that most of the people who attended were developer types, and were into the whole 'conference thing'. YMMW of course.
ROFL, that is gold! You sir, have just given me a reason to dust off my old Windows 2000 VM to try this in Red Alert:)
Also (though this isn't really a glitch), have you ever played around with the config file? You can do all sorts of silly things, like make the grenadiers throw attack dogs instead of grenades... or have dogs fire tesla bolts (sharks with frickin' lasers etc...)
Thank you for a lucid and informative post. I actually do support a more minimal form of government as well, and am appaled by what the government in my country is doing now (OZ) to erode our civil liberties.
I just feel that most of the libertarians I've met or had dealings with when get into a deep discussion (read: argument) just end up making it about hating having to pay tax, and nothing more lofty than that.
Arrrgh! Libertarianism does not equal lawlessness! How these two get confused is beyond me.
Easy: I've never had it explained to me how you would go about preventing the former from sliding into the latter pretty quickly. That is, in a way that didn't sound inhumane (well, if they can't defend themselves they probably weren't going to survive anyway), farcical (oh, everyone will just get along and not hurt one another because everyone will just love having freedom so much), or sociopathic (I'll defend myself with strenght and weapons).
Firstly remember that FREEDOM often means FREEDOM to get shot by a guy who is FREE to have an assault rifle, and FREE to kill you because there is little of the FREEDOM restricting annoyances like police and judicual system you seem to dislike. You are also FREE to not pay taxes, but then again you are also FREE to not have decent roads as no-one wants to build and maintain roads for FREE.
Again, this is perversion. The FREEDOM I speak of is FREEDOM to do whatever you want -- including owning guns -- as long as you don't unduly and unjustifiably harm someone else. But some fear this freedom and seek to paint libertarianism in a bad light, including trying to equate it with lawlessness. Nothing can be further from the truth.
Again, how would you stop someone from "unduly and unjustifiably harming someone else" without hurting someone else? What about gray area situations, like abortion, euthenasia, soft crimes, the death penalty etc...
What exactly is your practical libertarian method of maintaining social order in a modern society the size of, say, Canada?
No, we would like social democrats (like the ones in Finland and France) controlling our lives. Big difference.
You may, and that is your choice that you are free to make, just as long as you don't make that choice for me. I want NO ONE controlling my life but ME.
Sorry to say buddy, but you already do. The government controls the lives of most people. Sure that may suck when you have to pay taxes, or you get a ticket for speeding, but on the other hand, that bored borderline sociopathic teenager from the rougher sides of town will actually think twice about breaking into your house, because the executive branch of the law will probably catch up with him and he will be in shit.
Anyway, I don't actually want to control your life. You'll find most socialists don't either. They're just happy to vote the way they feel things should go.
Incidentaly, did you vote Ron Paul? If so, good on ya for at least putting your money where your mouth is. If not...
And that gives us a solution to the libertarian problem. Throw them all together in a small area, let them regulate themselves, and the destruction the wreck on the land and air will kill them all off.
And you hate and despise us Libertarians why? All we want is FREEDOM.
Sigh, we don't despise Libertarians, many of us have just lived happened to have lived in some coutries that are libertarian (read lawless), and shudder to remember them.
Remember, noble lofty ideals can always be twisted one way or another, and exploited, including your lofty libertarian ideal of freedom. Incidentally, the closest things we have to libertarian societies are the wartorn and corrupt african republics that you hear about on CNN. Just how FREE are they? Well:

It just goes on...
Of course, I can understand perfectly well if you would rather have fascists control your life instead.
No, we would like social democrats (like the ones in Finland and France) controlling our lives. Big difference.
Of course, I am wondering what this has to do with air quality.
But I am used to it.
Some hate me for being a MAN.
Some hate me for being intelligent.
Some hate me for my dermal chromatics.
Some hate me for being an Atheist.
And now some hate me for loving FREEDOM.
Well, I guess you just can't please everybody. Sigh.
I've never forced my users to remember server names. Server names are for me, not the users.
The windows users have a global DFS namespace that abstracts any underlying server foo, and the linux users have NFS mounts, and are frankly cluey enought to work shit out for themselves most of the time.

In Australia, you see them all the time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Penguin
You can even sometimes see them surfing at the beach :) (although what they're actually doing is chasing schools of bait fish inside the waves)

Using a CMS, no. But developing for an open source CMS, yes.
Troll elsewhere dickhead.
Touche :)
At that point the grand mum would realize that she is paying 10$ per GB while the guy next door is paying 0.2$ per GB.

Is it just me, or does that look like Michael Moore?
ROFL, that is gold! You sir, have just given me a reason to dust off my old Windows 2000 VM to try this in Red Alert :)

Anyone remember these:
- selling buildings, and then stopping the action to get free infantry
which combined rather well with this one:
- dragging the '$' sell cursor off the sandbags so you could sell things you normally couldn't (like infantry)
I like the cut of your jib feller me'lad.
The only way to kill the profit for spammers is to kill all the idiots out there.
And that would be logistically difficult.
Yes, but unfortunately the smack on the bottom is no longer allowed, so you're kinda fucked.
Actually that may have more to do with their means to afford guns as opposed to anything else.

Wildly expensive my ass. A wildcard cert is ~US$300 dollars from godaddy. I'm sure a bank can stretch that.
Warning: The building you are about to enter may contain a virus. Are you sure you want to proceed?
>> Yes
You enter the building. You were eaten by a grue.
Oblig:
This child is still you. Simply, the best, of you. You could conceive naturally a thousand times and never get such a result.
Linux must have something competitive in this area.
Except this thing runs Windows, not Linux.
Yes, but you certainly do not represent the majority of that demographic, so the analogy still stands.
For one? One of what? Please be specific kind sir.
Sorta;
Sysops -> Helpdesk -> Senior support (supporting devs and project managers) -> sysad -> IT manager
Good guess!
