I'd like to hope that those down-home rednecks with a hand-bound copy of the Anarchist's Cookbook would have the decency to attack the invaders instead of their fellow citizens. I'd also like to hope that Mexico didn't further destabilize the situation.
While I agree that the fact the whole process is a little ridiculous in how its dragged out, generally primaries aren't the knock-down drag-out that this one was. Granted, I'm only 22, but all the primaries that I can remember generally ended up with the majority of candidates pulling out and one of the remainders crushing whoever was left. I have spoken with others who are older and wiser and they echoed these sentiments. I feel like the primary isn't so much to elect your parties candidate but more to get a sense of the feeling of the primary constituency.
While analogies are useful, I think this one is stretched beyond usefulness. Neither George W's lawn or my lawn has any economic value. Comcast's domain name does, as its serves whatever percentage of their customer base actually have it set as their homepage.
I do not think of the tax dollars that I earned and pay to the government as loot that should be divvied up amongst the rest of the world. There is a reason other countries pay taxes as well. The space program at least has the potential to drive technological development that can benefit all mankind, whereas a donation to another country in no way benefits myself. Perhaps that makes me a bad person, but I prefer to think of it as enlightened self-interest.
Ah, yes, the GIO/GVFS, which I didn't post, but is at http://library.gnome.org/devel/gio/unstable/
They are somewhat orthogonal concepts in my understanding, because if you want to use custom protocols across sockets you would need to use GIOChannel, whereas if you just want VFS functionality you would use GIO and friends.
Indeed, since spoiler is out of the bag, he wanted to give up weapons production because he saw U.S. soliders killed by the weapons he built to make them safer. I'm not really sure how that translates to anti-war. Especially since he built a suit of death to go beat the crap out of Afghani thugs.
I seem to remember the "runaway bride" case a while back. They charged that woman for the cost of her search, which I think is legitimate, since it was basically wasted money. Searching for someone who is actually missing shouldn't be wasted money, so why punish someone with a huge bill. Granted, if he was a millionaire, she can probably afford the bill, but its bad form.
I concur. This feature should, for the most part remove the need to have the option of scrollbars. When I upgraded ubuntu two days ago and got the new version, my first though was wow, the program is now smart enough to automate my task of resizing and scrolling. I know people like their control and are set in their ways, still I'd think the people that have the technical skills to fork pidgin would actually appreciate the elegance of a solution that doesn't require user intervention.
Does this necessarily mean agility? After all, they can charge you every month for 3 years for the same version, and then just release another big major version bump. The cycle continues...
Sure they could release updates frequently, but something tells me they aren't going to.
I was under the impression that traffic to legitimate hosts was being lost into these black holes. Its not a dead machine, but rather bad routes being advertised for live machines. Thats general not supposed to happen, although I suppose it would be sweet if all the gunk the white holes spewed out is sucked into the black hole.
I think this is an unfortunate side effect of group dynamics and the way lawyers do jury selection. I too have sat on a jury, and was less than impressed by my "peers". I feel like this stems from the fact that dense people can be more easily led around by the nose, so are more likely to not be struck during jury selection.
You can also look at it as cost vs reward from the viewpoint of a terrorist.
Using a $150 shoulder fired rocket, one can destroy an extraordinarily expensive piece of equipment and take 200+ lives. Were I out to cause mayhem, that would look like an attractive proposition to me.
Sure, lets never bother to prepare for anything just because it has never happened before. Because, after all, the bad bad men would never think of anything that hasn't been tried before either...
Will still an overly excessive law, it doesn't entirely prohibit people from the internet. From the article:
"it exempts work done as part of a job or search for employment."
Still if they actually wanted to do something restricting use of the internet, maybe they should have limited themselves to bidirectional forms of communication on the internet, like forums, chat, or e-mail. Stalkers don't hunt for victims at Amazon.
"The RIAA labels have radio and empty-v. Since the RIAA effectively killed "internet radio" P2P is all the indies have."
Mercy me, I must be imagining the fact I'm listening to internet radio right now.
Seriously though, every since the bizarre internet radio royalty rates business started not a single internet radio station I listen to has shut down. Granted, I don't listen to that many, but, that still strikes me as an overdramatization.

Granted, Glade is vastly inferior QtDesigner, but such is life.

Fabulous, the HD being a bottleneck in an internet download. I can't wait :-).
