Oh, see the thing is he was talking about a constelation of Leo satellites, which is just a term for a bunch of them, kinda like a gaggle of geese, or a herd of cattle. Please learn appropriate collective nouns. A constelaiton of LEO satalites is not the same as the constelation Leo.
Big time dittos man, big time dittos. The growing illteracy in this country is a major problem. We sould be embarased about having higer illteracy rates than Iraq and Cuba, let alone most of europe. For most people learning to read isn't that difficult. We need some way to encourage people to learn, and to read.
The car analogy is more apt than any of those. Computers are complicated. They have things go wrong. Would you go into a store and pick up a chain saw without knowing how to use one? Who would be at fault if due to a lack of proper precautions you cut your foot off? Is it the manufactures fault if you run your car out of oil and seaze the engine up? We're not talking people having to be able to write a kernel, or their own kernel modules, we're talking knowing proper safety precautions with a saw, or proper maintance for a car, such as changing the oil or filling the windsheild washer fluid. Most people understand at least a basic concept of how an internal combustion engine works, even if they can't repair it. Generaly to a much more basic level than people understand computers. I don't know why anyone would want a car they couldn't change the oil in. Or why it shouldn't be required to at least know how to ADD oil to the car to be able to use it.
Hmm, do a google search for linux, the first thing to come up is www.linux.org, Linus's website, which under documentation has links with the magic word howto in them, and directly to the LDP. Next are a string of distros, and news sites. All of the distros have links to the howtos. So even if they don't search for howto or linux howto they can find them.
Or how do I do sloppy pointer focus? Or how do I run programs off 4 different app servers all displayed at my workstation, concurently. How about how do I remotely run programs on MY workstation from across the internet? There are lots of windows questions I'd like awnsered.
Um, the term hater started in black popular culture. The US is a melting pot of ideas and English, especialy American English is a melting pot of linguistic content. It is said that other languages borrow words, while English hunts languages down in dark alleys, beats the crap out of them, and riffles through their pockets for loose grammar.
Now that you know the origin of this word you are free to continue disliking it, however please, at least be accurate in your diatribes. Thank you for your time.
We never did, we elect electors and the electors elect the president. It's stupid, but the founding fathers thought political parties were a bad idea, and they had no ways of logisticaly supporting an election from the general population. No canidate could posibly get a majority of geograpicaly seperate people to agree to have him as their President. Instead the population of each state would elect a certain number of electors equal to the total of their senators and represitives, and those people would then go to the capitol and listen to the canidates say their peace, and vote for two of them, the one who received the most votes would be president and the one who received the second most votes would be vice president. After Washington left office this quicky broke down, and John Adams and Thomas Jefferson tied. Then the 12th ammendment changed the way electors vote, from simply casting two votes to casting a vote for president and a vote for vice president. This also coincided with the start of major political parties. It takes a constitutional ammendment to change the facts of the matter, but that is the way the constution works. Sorry if it's not to your liking, but it's the way it is.
Actualy I was directly arguing against your actual argument. I've loaned or given out Linux disks, I've been loaned or given Linux disks. I would expect to be able to worst case find a LUG and get a free disk to install Linux. I could probably find the same resources for windows, but that wouldn't be legal, nor would it be as well publicized.
Why shouldn't I? I've burned free copies for other people, that's what karma is all about. I do this because I hope it'll create a culture where my peers will do this for me, if I need it. Even if they just burn me a knoppix cd I can use it to get a "real" distro.
MS says it does, but they crouch it in terms of "integration". I have yet to see a windows version of a GNU program that outpreforms the UNIX workalike version. Some windows ports don't totaly suck, but most feel out of place.
No, I simply find the whole thing distastefull. I don't want to see it, if you want to, fine, watch all of it you want to. I don't care. I do not have any illusions about the actions of any person involved in those movies being "socialy acceptable" though, and when a child is still learning what is and isn't ok, I think they shouldn't be exposed to it. I also don't think they should be exposed to bondage pornography which I rather enjoy, but which children do not have a frame of referance to understand it from. I'm not saying anything about taking it off the internet or anything like that. I'm a big supporter of "I may hate what you say sir, but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say it". That is not the same as the right to be heard though. Now the beauty of the internet is I do not have to support those people who do things I find distastefull. You do not have to care what I think. This is, however, a discussion board, and last time I checked, the editors like people to discuss issues here. Now if you want to refute why I shouldn't block my future children from seeing people behaving badly for no reason except because they are bullies please, feel free to put words to it. Logged in even.
I find bangbus to be extremely distastefull. I might set some of this shit up just so I don't stumble on to it any more when I'm looking for better porn. What I've seen of it isn't realy rape, but it still is distastefull. I mean seducing some woman, then leaving her at the side of the road? Is this realy what we want our children to see? While not illegal, it's quite immature and selfish, it's not something that someone who doesn't have a frame of referance for it should be watching. Also on the subject of BDSM, I love it as much as the next guy, but I don't want to explain it to someone who doesn't have the framework to understand it from.
So fucking what? This probe has been in space for over 2 years. Life goes on, and there realy is no reason why we can't be interested in scientific progress and in kicking the shit out of the ragheads who planed gullible stupid zelots flying into buildings.
Big space theory. Space is realy big. Everything is spread far apart. There's plenty of room for one little probe in all that space especialy if the probe doesn't go somewhere where there is a high probability of matter being. Such as actualy IN saturn's rings. Now because space is relitivly predictable we can also hit something if we realy realy want to, such as sending a kamakaze probe into jupiter to gather data until atmospheric pressure crushes it. on the time scale we're dealing with a random collission is improbable.
It's a big fucking galaxy, and a big fucking solar system and saturn is a big fucking planet. The concentration in the probe may be fairly high, but there is LOTS of saturn. I'm sure the aggregate amount of plutonium on Saturn is more than in the probe already. Even if not, it decays fairly quickly, espeicaly when it's used in a nuclear reactor.
With Plutonium it's not the radiation that kills you, it's the heavy metal poisoning. Think lead, only WAY nastier. It's chemical properties are far more deadly than it's radioactive properties. Well, unless you turn it into a bomb anyway. OTOH, once it's in space, no big fucking deal.
Microsoft makes realy nice mice. Work in X to. If I was in AZ I'd be getting one. Especialy since the settlement says the value of any vouchers redemed on non-software products goes to schools.
Good point. The anacronisms were a rather welcome bit of spice to the show, and the time travel mini arc is wonderfull. Although it gives you headaches thinking about how much Real Politik goes on in the minds of the Vorlons. They caused a war that countless humans died in, and not a few Mimbari, just so a space station would be built, that would later be stolen by the army of light, and sent back in time, allowing them to beat the shadows. To bad Sinclair was predesitned to tell the Vorlons about the future, but I guess the two of them introducing him to the contemporary Mimbari was the payment for that. I supose he could have just told Kosh, but he wouldn't have any reason for not trusting the other Vorlon, who I realy dislike. Um, I think that's enough rant for now.
On my house, I'd be pissed about the trespass, on my car, well I can always go to a drive through car wash. It's not that expensive, I'm just to damned cheap and lazy unless I have a reason.

I dunno, but that's not as disturbing as the assfucks who modded it insightfull. Funny, yes, troll, maybe, offtopic, yes. Insightfull, what the fuck?
Sure they can, and then the judge will hear about the prior art, take a look at the filing date on the patent, and throw the case out.

Well, I was being sarcastic about the next question remark. I honestly don't know if it does. Probaly doens't in dosemu.
Yes, dosemu needs a DOS to host. The standard Dos distributed with dosemu is freedos. Next question please.
