Contrary to what that moron above said, she's quite pretty. The photo and lighting aren't great, so it's hard to say what she's like in person, but she definately is above average.
I'm just using my G/F a reference. Her and her friends are quite attractive (read: "drop dead gorgeous").
That said, the gal in the picture wasn't ugly by any stretch, just not as attractive as Rob & Hemos are making them out to be (and this could be in part due to the camera and lighting).
And I mean quality-wise. Hopefully they've fixed this, but I doubt it (which is one reason their support site sucks for getting drivers).
Gateway performs the wonderful function of changing parts out from under you in the middle of a production run. One day, you'll get a Cirrus Logic video card, the next it'll be an ATI, and yet another day, you'll get a Matrox. Motherboards change, too, as do drives and sometimes soundcards.

Perhaps you mean the "sizing the Linux market" survey? Yeah, it's guess work, but fairly reliable. Of course, you don't have any way to refute the stats, huh?
Is not collective bargaining simply an employee utilizing all the resources at his disposal (his fellow employees) to get him the best deal for his time? I think so.
Regardless of junk snail mail, someone has to do the sorting. Conveniently, there are laws in place to forbid people from sending you something if you ask to be removed from the list (not so for spam). Usually it's filtered through several people or a very few people do it full time. The cost is far less than negligable.
failure to remove your name from a list despite your request to do so is different than sending you the mail in the first place. i haven't made any comment about that, moron.
Yes you did. It's still spam. By not making a statement about it you implicitly included it.
so, in conclusion, if you think this is "exactly the same" as getting a billboard erected on your front lawn because you gave someone your address, i think (a) you should acquaint yourself with property laws, and (b) i'm glad you're not an elected official.
Hrm, is it "exactly the same"? No, of course not. Is it an effective analogy? Of course so. If it weren't would you be capable of logically destroying that analogy? I would hope so. The fact you couldn't through 2 replies shows that you are simply trying to assert the analogy into being poor. It don't work that way, boy.
A billboard being set up on your property does three key things. A) It reduces your property value. B) It reduces your available space on your property. C) It costs you time and money to remove it.
A) is similar to the ISPs loss of economic power through more servers required, more bandwidth, etc.
B) is similar because it reduces the available space on your disk quota (you can't ask for a better mapping).
C) is similar because it impacts you directly by costing you time to download it as well as the potential cost of money to download it for those on metered (either per minute and/or per Mbyte) bandwidth.
About the only difference is it is quite a bit more expensive to put up a billboard than spam 100,000,000 people.
That said, the law probably should be struck down because it doesn't target only the right mail.
Your ISP has to (either directly in many non-US countries or indirectly in the US) pay for a bigger pipe to handle spam. They will pass those costs directly on to you. And this is not the same as the rumors of LD charges for a call to an ISP. This is simply that only so many bits will fit down an ISPs pipe.
Spammers don't often provide legitimate return mail methods and often do not remove you from the list.

FreeBSD wasn't very friendly with my 486. Succeeded in making me waste a full weekend before I got it running. Linux, OTOH, worked nicely out of the box (RH 4.2). Admittadly, old, and FreeBSD was nice enough once I got it installed, but I like the general feel of Linux better.
I really hate to make reality crash down upon you, but, um, it *IS* a blob of cells. At conception, it is a *SINGLE* cell. It divides into two cells, then four, then eights, and so on.
Up to a few trillion which make up you. So, since you're just a "blob of cells"....
Showing me pictures of aborted fetuses doesn't bother me. Am I supposed to be disgusted at the sight of a dead miniature human? Oh, sorry. I'm disgusted at the sight of the countless bible thumping sheep inhabiting our world instead.
Actually, legalized abortion is, itself, hypocritical.
Enough of petty insults, though. What kind of favor are we really doing for an unborn baby by preventing its termination? If someone *wants* to abort a baby, how well do you honestly expect that person to take care of the baby after being told "Nope, sorry, you can't abort this baby."
Thus, adoptions.... It is very easy to find a home for an unwanted BABY. There is difficulty finding homes for unwanted children above something like a year because they've already begun "growing up" (I do forget the exact age).
Resentment. Jealousy. Anger. Add that to whatever behaviors *caused* the pregnancy in the first place, and you've got one really screwed up mother. Oh yes. We saved that baby from death. But we've committed it to a fate worse than death.
Hrm, euthenasia sound familiar to you? Or can he not kill his grandma to "put her out of her misery"? Remember, the father has no say in an abortion. An unborn fetus can inherit property. Unintentional killing of it during a crime is manslaughter. Intentional killing of it against the mother's will can result in a murder 1 conviction.
Without males around, you are not having any children for a while, now are you?
Hypothetical here (I'm not married):
If I sire a child and it is in my wife's womb, then you mean to tell me I have no right to decide if that child should live? I have no remedy for my wife depriving me of a future, and conceived, daughter or son?
That is, for those of you paying attention, sexual discrimination. If the father has no say, then by law, the mother can't, either.
Now, to shoot your next arguement:
What if the father wants the child aborted but the mother doesn't? What if the mother wants the child aborted but the father doesn't? If you give tie-goes-to-the-mom, then you are again discriminating against the father because no matter what, the mother gets "2 votes."
You say that removing the right to an abortion is returning women to a submissive role. Well, what about a fetus which is (legally) allowed to be the recipient of a trust or will (i.e. it can own property)? What about a fetus which, if it killed in the course of another crime, immediately allows the addition of manslaughter to the list of charges (yes, virginia, that means killing the child is manslaughter IF the woman wants it alive)? What about killing a one-minute old baby? 60 seconds changes the charge from nothing to murder 1.
You really, really don't want to go down that road. It just gets worse for you.
Remember, it's "interlaced" which means only half the lines are drawn. So, really, it's 720x240x60fps which is still the same bandwidth as 720x240x30fps.

When Babblefish first came out it was nearly impossible to read the translation anyway.
RMS claimed that nearly half the code on a Linux distribution was GNU code. Ergo, using his own stats is the way to defeat him.
They don't want to make the right hand bar customizable. That, and when you go back to preferences, it forgets what you put in the side.
THUD. that didn't take long.

And that across a VNC connection. Worked fine to me.
Opera Software itself doesn't do the porting generally. They had tried to contract it out to several other people, but no one would finish the work.
Things look much better now that someone at least stepped up to the plate with something. I'd call this the first real announcement.

We think we're a democracy, but we're not. We're a republic. It doesn't matter how much we chant that we're democratic, we're not. We are a republic.
Chanting over and over that the soviet union was socialist doesn't make that true.

You, sir, are an idiot.
The ACLU has supported the KKK's (oh, doesn't that hurt) right to free speech when it was done on their own property and in public places.
Yeah. Always leftist.
Yes, I'm in a pissy mood right now.
At least you signed it right.

Rasterman's claiming you were very, very reluctant (see the Feb. 18 entry). I guess you got into things after that, huh?

But I won't fault MySQL, either. Since both are gratis for testing, I would suggest testing both.
