among all the OSes out there, I think only Linux has problems, and that's a tiny fraction of the desktop OSes out there. This is quite telling. OSX hasn't had too many problems adding it, and neither has freebsd. It's the GPL that has issues, not CDDL.
The fact that GPL needs to have everything that touches it be opened makes it very difficult to use it in proprietary environments. By using CDDL and allowing ZFS to be in freebsd, I could now use freebsd to create a proprietary network storage device using freebsd as the OS, zfs as the file system, and not have to release any source if I don't want to. That's pretty powerful.
My dad has worked in steel for the past 38 years and he says they are busy as hell because the fuel cost and weak dollar has been making US steel cheaper for a while now.
Try changing the drop-down to various other locations. Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, etc. Orgy comes out on top everywhere. I'm thinking maybe it's not the geographic region that puts "Orgy" high in the list, but rather the fact that it's what people are using the internet for. People in general probably have different interests than the internet population.
In fact, in Pensacola, I'm pretty sure there's a large retirement community that never uses the internet for anything. And they'd probably not be too thrilled about orgy talk.
Was it really Northrop Grumman, or one of the bajillion subsidiaries that the conglomerate known as Northrop Grumman is made up of? Is there even anything like a specific Northrop grumman any more? Or is it just a board of directors bossing a bunch of subsidiaries around? Because that's the way it was 4 years ago when I left (after TRW was bought out by them).
If it weren't for policies dictating how we conduct ourselves during war, we could all just use a quake-like FPS strategy and blast everything that moves. I bet with the money saved by NOT developing brainwave monitoring binoculars, we could afford LOTS of ammo.
Before OSX, there were all kinds of hacks you could do in the Mac labs. I never even bothered to log into them most of the time, you could get access with a few key strokes. I guess that shows my age though. There probably haven't been OS9 labs in the schools for a while now...
This is true. When my uncle in Kentucky was drilling his well for water, they struck oil 3 or 4 times before they hit water. There just wasn't enough there to make it worth while. Although with the current price of oil, it might be cost affective for small time oil people to set up a pump in a place like that. I don't know what the barriers to entry are for the market, though...
The only reason's Brazil's find is profitable is because of the current high price of oil. Their oil is VERY difficult to get to.
Also, if you believe the Oil Sheiks in Saudi Arabia, there is NO supply problem. It is not a low supply of oil that is driving the cost up. If this is true, the US will add their oil to the market, continue to get high prices (making the US oil barons rich(er)) and the price won't move. The only thing that will happen is the natural environment wherever they decide to drill will get torn up and rich people will get richer.
Sounds like we need another solution, if you ask me.
With current legislation, the cost of the material will be easily offset by carbon offset credits, considering nuclear plants have no carbon footprint.
I work for a large power company, and let me tell you, if we could make a nuclear plant without all of the red tape hurdles, it would be a HUGE money maker. The red tape just makes it not worth the trouble right now. Come on congress critters, make it worthwhile!
Your mother could just as easily get a Netflix account they are not that expensive. I'm not saying ripping dvd's is the answer, but "not that expensive" is rather subjective. Netflix is basically taking away a free account.
If this were MySQL taking away the free version of their software, everyone would use PostgreSQL.
'We think they are forgetting that the public road is not theirs, and are exhibiting territorial behavior that normally would only be acceptable in personal space,' the researcher says. Sounds like the same problem the Internet has.
Yuck, even the print version has pop-ups and other ads. I know a good web browser can block that sort of thing, it just seems silly that a print version has popups. I'm imagining a newspaper with pop-ups like a child's pop-up book.:)
And here I thought Firebird and Thunderbird were related to the cars. Maybe it's just my slashdot nature of trying to find car analogies for everything...
You'll probably have to wait for 3.11 for Workgroups. Or possibly Firefox 95. Firefox 95 will have terrible security and crash all the time. Just wait for Firefox NT and then you'll never need to upgrade again.
Yes. Apparently it's especially annoying when you are demonstrating something to a client and they get to see all the websites you were exploring the night before... Doesn't everybody do a full delete of their history before presentations? When you click that history bar you want it to be BLANK. Duh. I set my work laptop to do this automatically whenever I exit firefox.

In that case we swap DNA. Sexy, huh?
Yeah but there's also a big difference between an admin with 2 weeks experience and one with 5-10 years.

Is that anything like the Mystery Hole?

What's TMI? You explained the others, so I'm set there though. Thanks...
BTW (By The Way), that was sarcasm.

don't children see boobies all the time when they are breast feeding? What's the big deal?
mod parent up please.
With a title like that, I thought you were gonna say the best chair is a waterboard...

My only hat is tinfoil. And I'm not replacing it with anything. And if you try to make me, you're one of them.
I'm going to trademark NSFL. "Not Safe For Lunch". This could serve multiple purposes, from hilarity induced choking to depravity induced nausea.
