What if my system doesn't have the resources to run XP, then what? Besides, AFAIK, Windows 2000 still has official support, so an upgrade should be unnecessary.
In Norway, the media doesn't spend the majority of the time trying to scare people shitless. We still have reasonable debate programs and interviews (favorite is actually a Swedish program called Global Axxess).
And the country isn't as polarized as the US currently is (which makes debate possible).
Now that there has been a Romulan thrown into the mix I think the Vulcans and emotions stuff fits it pretty well.
That was Manny Coto trying to explain the clusterfuck Berman & Bragga left him.
I don't think continuity is that big of an issue.
You don't see a problem with the fact that Enterprise already met species with access to holodeck and replicators? How come the Federation doesn't get access to that tech until Picard's time even though the Federation had become one of the dominate powers by Kirk's time. It would be like Sweden developing working quantum computers today, and the NATO countries not trying to license the tech.
The Borg and Ferengi shows up, and that idiot Archer forgets to note it in his logs, because nobody has historical data on them in Picard's time (of course, they already clustedfucked the Borg with 7of9's parents knowing about the Borg long before Picard meeting them).
It's not a big developing story. Berman and Branna is pulling it out of their ass as they go along (even though last season's big Xindi story was ongoing... they had no idea on how to it would end).
Reason people don't accept it is because it pretty much destroy all the accepted continuity and heart of Star Trek(Vulcans behaving irrational and emotional etc).
Heck, Berman is on record not liking Star Trek that much. And it wasn't until the rating went down the toilet that TPTB did everything they could to be associated with Star Trek (first two season, the show was called Enterprise, now it's suddenly Star Trek: Enterprise).
Hopefully, now that Manny Coto has taken over, it should get better (the first two three-parters were pretty good).
I would probably just get the source from the unstable branch, and compile from there. Or, there is another site that might have it (but I can't remember it the name right now, something like apt.org or something...)
Use backports.org. Some of the packages (most?) are put there by the Debian developers. Backports.org basically give you a somewhat changing system (since you are only upgraded the packages you want to upgrade and not the whole system).
On my servers running stable, I've done this with packages like samba, ssh etc.

Who gives a damn? The guy used nerve gas on his own city, pushed little kids out of helicopters, randomly terrorized his people with the police force, turned a blind eye to his kids raping women, and a lot of other crap that the body count just doesn't do justice to!
And all that was OK as long as Saddam was Washington's little puppetman. As soon as the puppet didn't follow its master, then suddenly he became the most evil man after Hitler.
Hmmm... By default, what services run in Debian linux? No portmap, mailserver (not even local delivery), no ftp, no ssh, no telnet, no smb, no printing, no X.
I'm hard pressed to remember what you can do other than install software on a newly installed Debian Linux system....
you cannot copy your music from iPod to computer by just dragging it through the windows or mac filesystem
Why not? They're just files. Unless Apple has changed it drastically since I last tried my brother's IPod, the music files are stored there with random file names. Which is not a huge problem, since the mp3tags are still present, and most decent music software can rename the file based on the mp3 tag.
If the sleeping giant that is America's small business community goes for Linux (possibly as a result of being introduced to the open source concept by Firefox), Bill has a really big problem on his hands.
Why? You don't think Microsoft can adapt? It seems to me that Microsoft is the master of adaption. Why can't Microsoft go the IBM route?

Yes, there was a poll some time ago, and the majority uses IE (although I think the poll predates Firefox).
There are many Windows users without XP SP2
How do you install Windows XP SP2 on a Windows 2000 system?

Not NBC, SciFi, and not a rumor. http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/
Yes, NBC
Rumours has it NBC will be showing Battlestar in January...
And they also put it in the right order on the DVDs.

This wouldn't be a problem if companies would just stop insisting that every product they make should have their own domain...
What's wrong with apple.com/itunes?

That's been because testing (Sarge) has been on the verge of freeze for almost a year now (just waiting for the installer most of that time).
Wait a couple of weeks after a release, and you will see breakage galore in testing.

Probably because it doesn't make economic sense. With a sub-$200 box, you aren't making back your cost.

Why would doing it md5sum on the source be any safer than on the binary produced? Have you checked the compiler and the OS?
Check out Ken Thompsons' 'Reflection on Trusting Trust' how you can introduce oncoverable bugs even if other people have the source
Eh, WBEM is XML.
Is 90% of the Mozilla/Gecko code written by Netscape, lather AOL employees. And coders are currently payed by the Mozilla foundation?
Considering people like this, is there any wonder that the US government has the rules in place that they do?
