Because _distributing_ Free software is the distribution's job. The developers should only make the source available and let any distros that want it package it themselves.
See, it's nutcases like the Anonymous Coward above that are preventing a real discussion about real issue. Calling the right an equivalent of "fascist baby murderers" isn't helping things, you're just driving the divide further instead of conducting politics in a rational manner.
I'd call it slash-fic, except there isn't enough sex in it.
* Ezekiel 23:19-21
19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt.
20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.
21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
There's no reason we should need faster than light travel to get to another star system. It makes it a lot more convenient, sure, but once you have enough energy to accelerate a ship to a significant fraction of c (and brake it at its destination), there's no reason you can't send a generation ship or a crew in cryo-suspension (once/if we figure that out, anyway) to travel for a few decades. It will make an "interstellar empire", and any notion of holding sovereignty over the other star system impossible, and the communications delay would be measured in decades, sure, but it's still a possibility, and a much more probable possibility than proving just about every physicist from the last 100 years wrong and inventing FTL travel, too.
Actually, Bern is the capital of Switzerland (which is also famous for the clocks), and Hitler was born in Austria and was the dictator of Germany. It looks like you've got some problems with geography and history.
The adjective form of the noun "Elf" is "Elven". However, there are many different languages spoken by Elves, Quenya being the most prominent. There is no such thing as an "Elvish" language.
Surely you're missing the projected launch costs. SpaceX has the most cost-efficient launcher out there, and they also have had several successful launches with the Falcon 1, which is effectively a smaller version of the 9, sharing the same engines, materials etc. If they succeed with the Falcon 9, this will be nothing short of a revolution in the low earth orbit launch market.
SpaceX has already had their share of "catastrophic launch faliures" with the Falcon 1, which had quite some faliures before they managed to get it right. Falcon 1 now uses the same engines, avionics suite and design philosophy as the Falcon 9. It was basically a test for the bigger rockets, and I'd say they have all the experience and data they need to pull this one off.
Godspeed, SpaceX. They earned this.

“As a hypothesis it makes sense, though it’s still in early stages," says Sanjeev Gupta of Imperial College London. "There’s lots more to be done to explore this idea. It’s quite exciting, and I think it will get people interested in this topic.”
They have a hypothesis, it appears to make sense for the time being given the evidence they found. What evidence do you have for your 5 thousand years ago hypothesis, other than a loose interpretation of a two thousand years old work of fiction?
From what I understood, Gears was the primary reason a computer with chrome OS is somewhat more useful than a brick when offline. Does this mean they'll have to allow real local applications for chrome OS now?
A manufacture process than uses robots instead of children (than need to sleep 5 hours a day and eat every once in a while) for repetitive tasks, I'm guessing.
Not just NASA and space programs. A good chunk of our entire worlds resources should be devoted to getting us off this rock.
Oh come on, "get us off this rock", "all eggs in one basket" and all are nothing but petty sensationalism.
So suppose we do "get off this rock", establish some permanent, semi-self sustaining colonies on the Moon, Mars, and upper Venus atmosphere. A star in the local group goes Nova - we're still screwed.
So even if we somehow prove Einstein and 99% of modern physicists wrong and figure out how to travel faster than light (or take a few decades getting there) and colonise the local group - we're still screwed if there's a gamma ray burst, or some other cosmic anomaly we don't even know of and aren't likely to know about before it wipes us out.
A sapient monkey can't significantly alter it's chances of survival against the cosmos. We should focus our space exploration efforts on real science, not pointlessly spamming the universe with out genes.
A friend had me try fedora a couple of days before the core 3 release. Back then, I only used PCs for web and email (which it worked perfectly for), then, after learning more about Linux and computers in general, I've been distro-hopping for a while before settling on Debian and Arch.

You stealthily divide by zero. Slashdot detects your attempt and is now ridiculing you!
Why do so many people develop for the iPhone?
Even desktop linux has a higher installed base than the iPhone..
Because desktop Linux users won't pay $1.99 for fart apps.
Oh Powers that Be, can we please have a hate speech mod so we can still browse at -1 for moderating purposes and not have to read through this crap?

You're probably talking about Awesome WM. It does both tiling and floating.
The other one is still going just fine.

That's how science works.

It's a well-studied and well-understood, large molecule, which is used for carrying information in nature and therefore well-suited for the task.
Until we can forego dealers and just snort the stuff from our banknotes?

So is my being deaf on the right ear an advantage or disadvantage in this case?
