Godwin's law is completely obvious to anyone that is in contact with her brain. Where is she, and how much do I have to pay to fondle her gray matter? *cough* all in the name of furthering my understanding, of course.
...didn't invent the Internet (capital 'i' please),... How about.... HELL NO! There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to capitalize the word internet./sigh
Wait, your Department of Justice?!? was suspected of unethical or immoral actions? Yes, Oldspeak is out, Newspeak is in. Welcome to 1984, 24 years late.
RTFA, Reiser's defense attorney didn't want to put him on the stand, but Reiser insisted. Not only that, but his attorney is NOT a criminal defense attorney. Reiser insisted this guy represent him, even tho the lawyer did not want to. At the very end, he tried to have a mistrial declared because his lawyer was no good.
I never heard of that project, so I google'd it. First hit was schwartz's blog. "what is project indiana? I can't tell you!" I closed that browser tab immediately.
wow, you sure missed the entire point of that post. Congratulations! (there was absolutely no wit involved, so I really don't understand how you missed it...)

Tag this 'itssatrap'. You know it is. Comcast has nothing to gain from this upfront. It's their hidden agenda that is making them do this. They do NOT want to proliferate p2p. They want to control it.
In general, I've been getting tired of the growing video bandwidth issue. It feels like more of the rendering should belong in the display and we should move to structured display protocols.
I realize you didnt mean this, but we already have such protocol, and it has already delivered all the benefits you seek. It's called HTTP. Think about it...
Ya, he does have a right to demand sugar is used alot less. Let's face it, collectively, we consumer about an order of a magnitude more sugar than that which is good for us. The more people that bitch about it, the better off we, collectively, would be.
Same goes for the blind. YES, they should attempt to raise awareness as much as possible. It really is in the best interests of all parties to make the web as accessible as possible.
I can conclude beyond a shadow of a doubt from each and every one of your points, that you are also bat shit insane.
First: We're talking about a gui for configuration. It doesn't have to be running on the server. The size this takes up on disk is absolutely beyond a shadow of a doubt completely insignificant.
Second: Having a GUI in no way shape or form increases the number of attack vectors. Nor does it make your available attack vectors more vulnerable.
Third: you have GOT to be kidding me. Even before HIMEM we had guis to configure apps.
Fourth: Again, you have GOT to be kidding me. You're either patching the machine, or you're asking for trouble. You think one more feature in an application is going to somehow make that application harder to patch? I'd hate to use any software you create.
Fifth: No, your statement doesn't even make the slightest bit of sense.
And how many of those people have the proverbial (and literal) keys to hundreds of "nukular" bombs? Those other people have a valid excuse for saying it wrong. The Pres. does not. of ALL the people in the world, HE, MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE should know the difference.
I don't expect everyone in china to know how to wield a Katana, but I do expect imperial guard to know a thing or two about them.
You sound miffed that you had to edit config files to get apache working correctly. THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE. I don't want a gui installed on my servers. Just so you know... You're fucking bat shit insane if you think NOT having a GUI makes something inherently better than if it did have a GUI.
Did you ever stop and think maybe you don't know enough to be running a server? No, did you ever stop to think that you're bat shit fucking insane for thinking a text file interface is better than a gui?
2.8ghz desktop P4 uses 130w at 100% and ~20w at 1%. Although the C2D is rapidly replacing P4s, there are still quite a few of them in the workplace. The earlier P4s actually consumed more power, and Rambus ram consumed about 3x the power as "regular" ram.
BTW- you have a terribly inefficient computer if its sucking down 134w when idle... typical of an office computer is around 65w. Unless of course, you're talking about a gaming machine... (just realized the vid card you ref'd... d'oh!)
There's a HUGE difference between an idle computers power consumption and ones whose CPU and RAM throughput are being taxed to the limit by a process like folding. The 240 watts I mentioned is just the CPU, northbridge, RAM, and internal heat evacuation. Drives and monitor are completely irrelevant.
You execs are right to dismiss the notion of shutting down a computer thats idle. It's NOT consuming much. However, when that same computer is crunching foldings numbers for it.... THAT is a huge cost.

Oh good. This means we are that much closer to being completely 100% fucked.

UbuntuDupe, is that you? it's ok, really, you don't have to post anon just to make fun of yourself.
what comes after that again?

If I'm staying in a hotel at nights, then I'm bringing my own laptop and thus, STILL don't need to use a public terminal.

How does that not fit *nix/OSS zealots?
pfft..
