Th OS that the site runs is not the point here. It is the content encoding technology that is. They have a company that is delivering MS technology specific content through a FOSS server -goodness only knows where they're actually pulling the delivered content from- that prohibits a certain group of people from viewing the content. This -as far as the/. crowd is concerned- is a very serious issue for those who consider Obama/Biden as the candidates for change.
The epitome of Prop 95 is the labelling of balsamic vinegar as a known source of lead contamination. Apparently there are trace amounts of lead in the product that are introduced during its manufacture. The level is so low that you'd have to drink a liter a day, every day, for a year, in order to reach a level that would be equivalent to that which the EPA would consider hazardous.
Whatever happened to CA Cert and their push to get included in Firefox? They were supposed to be the FOSS solution to the whole certificate problem, yet years have gone by with them being no closer to being included as a CA in major browsers.
Four out of five/. users would recognize this post as sarcasm. You must be new around here. Oh, and BTW, not all of us around here with high IDs are n00bs.
Four out of five/. users know the passwords for eighty percent of their friends or family and probably could hack the rest if the other twenty percent didn't use a master password to protect their other passwords.
All well and good provided that the physics that we know works in these 'supposed' other universes. The fact of the matter is that you can play with all the numbers that you want, but without direct observations and repeatable, verifiable, experimentation, this is all just conjecture based on some doodles on a cocktail napkin with a cigar burn in it.
Burned animal flesh. America's favorite food!
No, seriously, cooking probably was 'discovered' by accident. One of our lucky ancestors probably came upon the still smoldering corpse of some tasty animal killed in a brush or forest fire and noticed the enticing aroma, decided to taste what was left (probably because he was hungry), and then made the cognitive leap to use fire to flush out or kill game. After many, centuries of 'take-out', they found that 'home cooking' was easier then setting the entire forest or plains on fire and proceeded to 'bring home the bacon'.
In this day and age, competitions like this serve no purpose except to exploit the participants in these 'games'. Many, if not most, of those participating are hoping that they excel -just enough- to 'win the gold' so that they may secure lucrative product endorsement contracts with multi-national firms. Rarely, if ever, do any of these participants return for another try at Olympic glory after they have achieved -or failed to achieve- the brief stardom of the podium.
If they do return and win, they may land contracts for a breakfast cereal or two of note and they may appear on the box for a year or two until they have been largely forgotten by the public. Then they go on to write an 'inspirational' book about their 'struggle against all odds' to achieve Olympic stardom. Finally, as their notoriety reaches its nadir, they sign on to do a reality-based television show on the E! channel that exploits their pathetic downward spiral and their life on the lecture circuit 'inspiring' people.

Pay attention to the embedded links dude.

How's that thing with Naraku working out?
Great minds think alike...
Burn them to stay warm.

that the order was altered by the simple fact that it was observed and that for each of the observers, the order was different.
