BIOMASS doesn't produce CO2? What the fuck are you smoking? Biomass is simply the combustion of naturaly occouring fuels, such as methane, the only difference between biomass and fossil fuels is that biomass is more quickly replenished. Now personaly I feel this is a good thing. But know what you're talking about before you open your pie hole
I didn't say anything about stoping using petrolium products. I said that there was a better use for yard products. I said that it's already a bad idea to put them in the landfill. There are already many technologies that allow you to turn worthless biological stuff into energy, one of the simplest is a compost pile, another one that yeilds human usable energy is a methane digester. All that realy needs to be studied is the viablity of these existing technologies and methodologies, not new technologies that do what nature already does. Enhancements to these existing technologies and methodologies would be a much better use of our resources, however that is neither here nor there. Also many communties already have special programs for yard waste to be composted instead of going into the landfill. Sorry, I'm not the most linear person in the world.
I say let's burn everything. Any waste biological. Cows, pigs, sheep, people, dogs, cats, whatever. Of course some people have religious objections to this, so I don't know how we'd deal with that. Especialy some sects and degrees of christianity, who feel that creamation makes it so that you can't rise again at the second coming.
Anyone intelegent is already recycling yard waste, it's called a compost pile, by using a readily available mix of bacteria, all native to the area in which the yard resides the yard waste is turned into high quality soil. this is then used to enrich the soil for soil leaching crops in your vegitable garden. People who put it in the landfill are idiots.
I call bullshit, source please? My experiance has been completly different. Also there is no such thing as a Linux 7.0 webserver, Linux is only at version 2.6 at the moment, and isn't a complete OS. I'd realy like to know where you're getting your numbers on webserving to. Would you care to follow up with actual supporting information rather than just made up bullcrap?
Depends on what you are doing with it, for applications that are primarily data processing, yes, for latency on UI, sometimes, sometimes not.
More secure? No.
More easily securable, yes, more secure, depends on the admin.
Does it have more apps? No.
Once again, depends greatly on context, it has more apps for everything I do except edit photos. Of course what do I need dozens of IRC clients for since I mostly use BitchX or X-chat, and several handfuls of web browsers? For my image requirements ImageMagick and the Gimp work well enough. In fact I love Image Magick. It's a very well done application, and very helpful for batch processing of photos. Screen and telnet or ssh are very nice programs and allow me to get great deal of use out of my computer when I'm not at it. One thing I'd like more of would be console Jabber clients, but the ones I've used work well enough.
Absolutly. If someone wishes to port Gimp to Aqua then maybe it can be an alternative to Photshop on the Mac. I'm a pretty hardy Linux supporter, and think that Macs are hard to use (where's the alt key, how come alt key bindings don't work, why doesn't the ctl key work the way I expect?) but I know that it's just as hard for a Mac user to come to grips with X11. Damn Mac for stealing our letter! I don't think the folks at gimp.org are looking to beat photoshop, they are looking to put out a completly different tool that simply hapens to have a lot of the same functionality. Sure being better than Photoshop would be nice, but it's realy for a different audience. Gimp is designed for Unix geeks who want to do art, Photoshop is designed for photographers and artists who want to use a computer.
The GIMP for mac isn't a Mac Application, it's a Unix application, using the Darwin layer and displayed using X11. There was no real porting effort. the application is designed for X11R6, and is being run on X11R6. If Gimp had been ported to Cocca then there would be a legit gripe, but it wasn't. It was ported to Darwin, not to MacOS X.
Good point. The decisions made in the gimp are to make it most usefull in an environment with the profile of X, Where MDI is not posible. Where there is no Menu Bar or whatever they call it at the top of the page. Oh, and to the Mac dude's gripe, he needs to look in/Volumes/ for his data drive.
this would be a bigger deal if pritnter companies didn't ship crap for utilities that fuck up your system and do needless useless crap. honestly a simple cups driver would be more than adaquete.
Linux doesn't run on a 286. It needs the task switching and memory protection of a 386 or better. So yes, if you're running a 286 it's "don't make me laugh" time. Freedos OTOH will run on a 486.
Ok, I'm going to awnser your questions seperatly. If I had a Palestinian neighbor who was willing to take the oath of citizenship and then owned those weapons, I'd think, good for him. I'm glad he's on our side. Now this does not mean that we should not keep a profetional Army that can be used to project our desires and power outward.
The constitution protects the right to engage in all those types of speach, however it does not protect you from being found criminaly or civily liable for the consequences of those actions, hence if you yell fire in a crowded theatre and someone is trampled to death, you will be tried for manslaughter. If you cause damage to the theatre by people panicing and seeking alternate exits, you are liable for the damages. If you threaten or harrass another person this is a matter of you impinging on their rights, and as such criminal. So the speach itself is not illegal, it is the way it is used, just as we have the right to bear arms, but if you use your gun, or your sword, or your knife, or pike to take a life, you are tried for murder. Libel and slander are both civil laws, and as such, don't realy have the same limitations. after all you are perfectly free to print libelous materials, so long as you can pay the damages.
resting your wrist while using a device is about the worst thing you can do CTS wize. that's why tying instrucors are always bitching at people to get their wrists up. Mice are about the worst contributor to RSI anyway, the big ones are also mainly designed for people with arthridis.
Well, as someone who gets attached to hammers, multi-meters, screwdrivers, drills, swords, axes, my car, my PDA, my stylus pen, and just about every other tool I regularly use, I wonder about anyone who doesn't get attached to those things. sure sometimes you have to move on, but knowing your tools helps you get the most out of them.
Yes, targets of strategic value get freedom first. I hate to break it to you, but there's no use in overextending ourselves. Once we have conqured^Wliberated the countries of strategic value we can strategicly go about building our empire^W^W^Wfreeing the rest of the world. As a good little imperialist I do feel the need to point out that we realy should be using the Roman model for conquest though. We have a 2 very large trainable groups of people we've recently conqured we can use to fight wars^Wpolice actions in places that don't matter^W^Whave limited resistance. This has the added advantage of meaning fewer American soldiers die. This does however also have the disadvantage of meaning higher casualties for our side in toto.
Dude, I take home $1200/mo as a phone monkey. I "make" well more than than. I'd honestly be happy with about double that for the stress and hassle of IT, especialy considering the extra hours and stuff I'd have to put in. but you realy need to look at what living costs.
Here here brother, millions for defence but not one cent in settlement or whatever. dammit, to bad I'm to broke to even be able to afford the cost of filing papers. hmm, maybe a frivolous lawsuit countersuit would be in order to.
Linux is not public domain, Linux is licenced under the GNU GPL, but all contributors to Linux keep their copyrights. So Linux being placed in the public domain would NOT be a win. now saying that the code in Linux apears to be properly contributed would be.

Um, well, now that L-Zs patent is up it's not, but it used to be. Even if it's not Microsoft Proprietary, it's still proprietary.
And there's a not deleted scene where Owen introduces his girlfriend Beru.
Um, I belive the point Linux is helping with a properly funcitoning infrastricture.

Gee, post to a story nobody cares about and get an FP, it must be slashdot.
Well, if you run an old version of sendmail and finger you might be albe to catch Morris
