starting with laws to stop raves Because the rave parties were being held out in disused barns in the countryside, through the night to the early morning, disturbing both farm workers and animals. olitical demonstrations in certain areas (like outside parliament) Because the MP's didn't want their work disturbed by the noise made by certain protestors - if they listened to the voted population in the first place, they wouldn't have protestors outside their offices in the first place. If your gatherd on private land you can be done for trespass, other than that if raves arnt doing anything illegal, the government has no right to interfere.
More importantly citzendium tried it and even let you keep the copyright, but there is only space for one wikipedia, all attempted improvements have failed because they simply dont have the numbers.
yeah. "The articles in the Britannica are aimed at educated adult readers, and written by a staff of 19 full-time editors and over 4,000 expert contributors. It is widely perceived as the most scholarly of encyclopaedias"[1]
England = England great Britain = physically connected countries = England + Wales + Scotland United Kingdom = England + Scotland + Wales + Northen Ireland commonwealth = all the places we conquered (Australia, etc)
generally though nobody really notices the distinction between the 1st three even though the difference between GB/UK and England is becoming significant as Scotland gains more independence
WTF you got moded insightful? I knew slashdot was bad since mods started using over/underrated but seriously, insightful for a post that is completely wrong? the 'dark' side of the moon is the name given to the side that always points away from earth.
nice but: 1) wont the dust trash them? 2) havent we sorted out atmospheric telescopes using lasers?
that said it would be a good idea of something to do while were swinging dicks, but were much more likely to build a misile base on the moon 1st just to keep swinging
The technological advances came as part of the war effort more than just having a race to the moon.
Anyone here that feels that going to the moon is just an expensive waste of money and time needs to have their geek status revoked and they must join the ranks of the PHB morons. No anybody here that falls for every piece of government propaganda or patriotism needs to have their slashdot card revoked, because that's all the moon-race is. It doesn't address the real issues of the times, lack of hope in lower class areas leading to increase in crime that's only going to speed up as time goes by, lack of money for both people and a country as a whole, outsourcing of everything stretching the rich/poor divide, goverments acting with nothing but contempt for the common man and a how much can we get away with attitude, no it just makes people go OOO-shiney and then go back to being mugged/broke/unemployed
but i find it usefull it sticks all my porn in one place and even sorts it by category, just remember to use your main profile next time your looking for an analysis though.
Yeah, there are numerous solutions, but no standard and nothing implemented by multiple distros (who can't even standardize on a package format I might mention). Actually there is a standardized package format, RPM (or more specificially a restricted supset of RPM that is gauranteed to work with alien) which is compatible with all major distros.
So far the most common workflow for installing software (research on Web then install based upon the info found) is still pretty mythical. A few developers have Web pages that will allow for fairly easy installation, if you happen to be using the right distro, otherwise, it's worse than Windows. Almost all developers offer both a tar and source, if you cant install software from one of those two your doing it wrong. Most developers also host a RPM or a deb too, i dont know if RPM bassed distros can handle debs but for debian based systems you have 4 different ways of installing it in no more than 3 commands. OFC using tars means you lose out on package management but you dont even get that on windows.
True but it takes two to tango, just like a website should never crash a browser it is relevent that the OS/website is abusing the specifications soo badly to cause the crashes. It is the manufactures fault that thier crashing, but this bug wouldnt be seen if xp was behaving correctly.
The only safe way to update a system is a reboot, sure you CAN do some stuff on linux bsd etc to avoid having to reboot( hell this was probably running some unix derivative so it was probably possible to do the update without rebooting), but you wouldn't want to run the risk of introducing an unchecked bug by doing a live update. when your choices are: a) high chance of accidentally shutting down a reactor harmlessly b) small chance of fucking up a nuclear reactor you'll always go for (a), if your sane.
Given the difficulty certain repeated contributors have getting code into the kernel, id guess that most of the one-timers are submitting small easily understood bug fixes. Sure its not like linux code is read as thoroughly as BSD but stuff doesn't just get stuck in there on trust either.
Slashdot Mirror
Be works out about the same but you dont end up with a sore arse.
actually if you need your broadband sorting you have to go down to your local virgin media centre to sort it out, so they are more related than that.
pah try getting more than 26kb/s up with a ping under 1s.
Its ok SOCPA is sorting those little glitches out, normal service will be resumed shortly.

wooosh.
There are plenty of reasons to be concerned about China, but neither of those are one of them. hyphenation FTW

unconfirmed? I have an intelligence dossier right here that says differently!

you mean once the connection charge and minimum call charge have already been made.

Sir, every time you mention bird rights and protection your page rank seams to rocket.
by that definition mac didnt start on mac.
Did they go for yellow dog or puppy?

I never got why star wars haven't managed to make a good RPG out of the huge amount of cannon surrounding the film eras.
