What I call a friend, is somenoe who does NOT backstab, someone whos honest, and who is a REAL friend
No, thats your mother.
The best way to deal with the bad stuff, is to aviod the "bad" stuff
The best way to be disapointed is to demand the impossible.
Your definition of real life = people who backstab each other but still consider each other friends and trust each other. Essentially people who never learn from their mistakes, who tolerate everyone even people who backstab them, etc etc
People stab each other in the back, lovers do it, parents do it, children do it. Why expect more of a friend?
If it came down to it, I would expect my friends to stab me in thr back for a 'good enough' reward, and I would do it to them as well.
The importent questions are, how good a reward? and can you tell them in advance?
Better to have a few true friends, than a ton of fake ones.
Better to have friend than to wish for the impossible.
Frankly, if you want somebody to roll over for you (your definition of a 'real friend'), get a dog.
Hes the richest man in the world because he backstabbed every idiot who thinks just like you do "Bill gates is my friend, he wouldnt dare take my idea"
Which is why Paul Allen is living on the poverty line.
Why? Because bill gates KNOWS this is a competition
1. Producing them is boring
2. They take a long time to write
3. 'Real Hackers'(TM) don't use them
4. Did I mention boring?
5. If you get them wrong, you can end up keeping bugs because it's easier to work round the bug than to change the test (been there, done that)
The bill of rights was passed by the english parliment long before the US had one. (OK, it only really protects the govement from the monarch, but it is a bill of rights.)
What exactly is the point of using a very fast link for a palm? It's not like it takes very long to shove the entire memory of one around using USB. Use the right tool for the right job, this is exactly the sort of thing USB is good at.
There is no competition as the only phone company is also the only broadband company. I tend to think that were BT setup today from scratch, rather than being ex Govenment, the guy would be lucky to get a phone.
Of course, nobody is willing to do that, they get too many perceived benefits (for example, your broadband service) by having socialists in office. Sort of like them cutting your hair for you as long as they're raping you from behind anyway. Unlike unfettered competition, where you have to pay to get your hair cut while being raped from behind.
Because fast FPS games would require zero ping and huge bandwidth to be completely server side. Read some of the stuff John Carmack has written in his.sig about this.
I actually doubt that this is feasable, let alone cost effective. Picking out a single screen in a crowded office is not that easy, throw in a few walls and a couple of moblie phone signals, and you are going to be lucky to get anything. Also a lot of piracy goes on in small firms that buy single copies from shops, so no site license to check against.
As the law stands in England (and Wales, not sure about Scotland), the only people who cannot vote are prisoners, the insane, and Lords, convicted criminals are allowed to vote when released. This might well change now the EU rights charter is law.
IBM does not work like that. The Thinkpad division has to make its profit, and the microelectronic division has to make its profit, there is not real link between the two (except the name an a crap internal Email system).
Unless you count the bad press when the price drops $100 three months after launch. An economist might say that there is no such thing as bad publicity, but..............

Even worse is that Crapital bought XFM and turned it into a playlisted 'alternative' station.
And where exactly does it say the computers must be binary? Pong is a computer game played on an analog computer.
Mobile phones went last week, and are now called mm02 or some such crap.
I like you, can we be friends :)

To repeat myself, WTF?
If nobody knows you, it is easier to spread rumors about you, because nobody will be able to refute them.

He who dies with the most money, still dies.
What makes you think I am not a reliable source?
Anyway, the quiet unknown guy is not a good source, since he knows nobody, so he can't know anything.
In order to backstab a person you need some sorta personal information, leverage, or something to use against them.
No, you just start some rumors. Anyway, I have nothing to hide in my personal life.
IF you treat everyone like a business partner, then theres no way for them to backstab you.
WTF?
It is easy to backstab people without ever having seen them, much less being friends with them.
There is no test suite because

2. They take a long time to write
3. 'Real Hackers'(TM) don't use them

We are talking about adults, not some little five year old.
So you think people should abstain from pre-marital sex because they are afraid, not because they think it's wrong?
Is this what you saw?
Anyway, Oracle just released migration tools for MySQL so they must know that SOMETHING is up
Could it be that lots of people have found that MySQL is not up to the task, so they are switching to Oracle?
the lack of a Bill of Rights in the UK
The bill of rights was passed by the english parliment long before the US had one. (OK, it only really protects the govement from the monarch, but it is a bill of rights.)
but unless they embrace firewire, screw it.

GPL'd code would be easier with IBM owning it. It would be IBM, rather than a group of programmer who releaded it under the GPL.

Err, the question was about minority religions, that includes any religion with less than 1% of the population.
