Your mugging suggestion raises another issue : how do I leave my thumbs at home ?
When I'm going into a territory I consider risky I minimize my risk by leaving my wallet full of cash & cards in the safe and only take with me what I think I'll need. Same goes for a drunken night out.
Just wait for the first ATM drug rape victim !! - hope I'm the perpetrator and not the drowsy victim =)
Can you drive any old wreck of a car in the US then ?
Here in the UK were have the Ministry of Transport test, all vehicles must pass a roadworthyness test once a year and it is an offence to drive a car at any time that would fail the test (and also invalidates one's insurance).
There is also emissions legislation. Drive with too much smoke pouring out and it's potential prosecution for you.
The US is a crazy place sometimes. Those sobriety tests you have look awfully backward compared to the technological tests we have had since the 1970s. "Blow into this tube please sir/madam" is a system I don't think any one of us ever calls into question (in principle).
Blunkett's 'zero tolerance' consultant from the US has also been suggesting points on your driving licence for anti-social behaviour, so there will be that to consider in the future as well.

For the UK driving licence : 12 points in one year leads to an automatic 1 year suspension.
Brandy is an interpreter for BBC Basic (or Basic V as it is refered to here) that runs under a variety of operating systems. Basic V is the version of Basic supplied with desktop computers running RISC OS. These were originally made by Acorn Computers but are now designed and manufactured by companies such as RiscStation, MicroDigital and Castle Technology.
What does it run on?
The interpreter runs under RISC OS, NetBSD, OpenBSD, reeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X, Amiga OS, DOS using the DJGPP DOS extender and Windows as a console application. The program is written in ANSI C and comes in source form so it should not be difficult to compile it to run under other operating systems.
Brandy is distributed under version 2 of the GNU General Public License.
The current version of the program is 1.16 (January 2004).
Why are you bringing evolutionary theory in to the discussion?
Your assumption that my hypothesis is god related is fallacious.
We evolved from single celled organism who's actions are ruled by the laws of chemistry and physics.
You also assume that the laws of chemistry and physics are all knowable through the human senses and via our conduits, the machina.
It is this assuption that I suggest is wrong.
Your use of evolution is interesting. You are trying to suggest that all the sense we have evolved to live on this planet are enough to discover every fact in the universe and that is how inflated your ego is.
but don't fool yourself to believe that the human brain is so miraculous or that human life is so incredible that it will never be able to be reproduced mechanically.
Are you *sure* about that ?
Are you 100% sure that there is not another dimension which our physical selves cannot see due to biological constraints and that interaction with this dimension is what powers life and intelligence and therefore no matter how complex a machine one builds it cannot ever emulate this intelligence ?
You almost have a point, and indeed the wording was previously different but with enough pressure from users and developers enough changes have occured that the now OSI Certified Lucent Public License Version 1.02 clearly states:
----
7. EXPORT CONTROL
Recipient agrees that Recipient alone is responsible for compliance with the United States export administration regulations (and the export control laws and regulation of any other countries).
----
On 9th Jan the GNU foundation and in particular RMS. changed their stance and agreed that:
The current license of Plan 9 does qualify as free software (and also as open source).

but it did!
on the contrary, pissing someone off, in power or not, is *exactly* how one get's an Anti-Social Behaviour Order
If you came to my room and said "I think you have virii" I would laugh and laugh and laugh at you, just like I am now.

wrong, that was a pre-release
this is the release
But if they could do that then who bother to spend all the R&D money to start with.
because you needed to treat waste water in a way that was cost effective
From what we understand of chemistry and physics we have been able to understand the actions of simple organisms.

Can you please also apologise for using "begs the question" when you mean "raises the question".

he says later on it was a mistake in typing
we'd still be stuck with an age-old kernel like OpenBSD
you say that like it's a bad thing ?

yeah, my mum is much better as swapping out hard disks than putting in CDs

so I could
1) fix it myself
or
2) be aware of activity to watch out for should a work around / fix not be available
Amazon use Linux and no doubt have *very* compentent Linux people on the staff, which do you think they would like to see ?
oh yes, you are right, I had failed to follow the links on that page to check against 404.
Perhaps I should host the iso somewhere myself.
