I figured that out a long time ago when it was found that having an opinion that didn't fall in line with everyone else gave me the same mod as the horse cock guy above.
Ubuntu Kung Fu - Tips and Tricks for Exploring, Using and Tuning Linux? Actually, this would fall under Tips and Tricks for Exploring, Using and Tuning Ubuntu.
It's all well and good that Ubuntu is one of the most popular distributions out there but I'm getting fed up with people presuming that Ubuntu is Linux. There are other sturdy, proven distributions which deserve recognition. Ubuntu isn't the only one and it certainly isn't definitive of "Linux".
I'll use it because it is a legitimate concern jackass.
The law might not exist but one of the tenets of law enforcement agencies is "to protect and serve". If they did nothing while someone was taking pictures and that person ended up being part of some kind of terrorist scheme people would be up in arms that nothing was done.
I always find it interesting when people have this Utopian view of things when in reality risks have to be taken to ensure the world runs smoothly. Get your head out of your ass. Your civil liberties don't always trump the good intentions of the well meaning.
What use is your argument, when Amtrak literally invites people to take pictures:
"Photo contest winner to appear on Amtrak's 2004 wall calendar
WASHINGTON - Do you have the perfect photo of an Amtrak train or are you ready to snap it? One that makes anyone who sees it yearn to climb on board and travel across America? If so, it could become a part of an Amtrak tradition -- the corporation's annual wall calendar."
You did not even bother to read the summary, did you?
Please note that I acknowledged the lack of communication being the catalyst for this situation. Had the marketing department notified the Amtrak police of the contest we would likely not be talking about this right now. But, since the law enforcement was seeing things in light of the state of affairs they are working under, they did what they felt was the right course of action.
Now, had the marketing department informed the necessary parties and they still behaved this way after the facts presented themselves, I would have no love for them.
And it doesn't always work that way does it? There are times when people with the authority make the decision that civil liberties are less important than the safety of the masses and rightly so.
Granted, this is often overdone(domestic wiretapping, for example) but if a law enforcement official asked someone to stop taking pictures, detained the person or asked them to delete the photos of public transportation I'd be happier than if they just sat idly by out of fear of stepping all over their precious dignity.

As much as I hate to use it as a excuse for them, since the Trade Center attacks photographing public transit has become a point of concern. A similar reaction could be expected of someone standing at the end of a runway taking pictures of the undersides of planes as they took off.
I agree that the lack of communication between the marketing and law enforcement departments is where things went wrong. However, it isn't the law enforcements responsibility to call every other department after an arrest to find out if something legitimate was being done. They were merely doing their jobs based on what they knew of current affairs.
Schools are allowed to make all kinds of money licensing their sports images to videogame makers while students are the players making the name for the teams. But heaven forbid the players get any of that money. All this is doing is continuing the trend. Let's take advantage of the talent we've got but not give them the benefits derived from their work. In fact, let's charge them for the work they did.
AC didn't even mention Linux. Perhaps AC was referring to FreeBSD. Or perhaps you are one of those that thinks because you did it long before so many others that you are better than the next geek.
I'm still waiting for my Nokia N810 WiMax. It's been on back order almost since they released it.
I keep looking for iPhone rumors indicating when they'll be available on other carriers. I don't see the point in switching networks just to buy a phone no matter how innovative it is. Likewise with the G1. I have no interest in switching to T-Mobile just for an Android-based phone. Though, I have no interest in switching to T-Mobile period.
PCWorld.com has a brief write-up detailing methods to ensure the unlock works. Additionally, they link to a chart on the yellowsn0w website which lists "supported" carriers. This answers my previous question/post.
I read the Dev Team blog entry about this and didn't see any mention about which carrier was supported. I assumed it would only work on other carriers which used SIMs (ie T-Mobile). If it will work with non-SIM based carriers this needs to be clarified.
But that swings back to the other question: how can Sun prevent the community from forking? Sun may be preventing commits from outside their organization or superseding them with their own but there has to be enough people in the community to support a separate entity. Unless that is the problem at the root: the community just doesn't have the concern for OOo.
I'd be willing to bet you think the Constitution should be interpreted exactly as it was written 200+ years ago despite the changing of times/techonology/temperament.
For years I viewed the reluctance to retool and improve things like fuel economy as the industry leaders strictly being jackasses. While that is still a significant portion of the problem let's not forget to put a large chunk of the blame where it belongs: UAW.
Taking into account all the wages and benefits (including full pay for not working) the average UAW member makes $65/hour; in the name of competitive wages.
Ah, good ol' Quebecois...neé, Francois...arrogance thinking that they are above it all and are entitled to so much more than the rest of the world. Heaven forbid they recognize their place of equality amongst the rest of the world.
It's no wonder you folks are the butt of so many jokes.

So much for the open minded people here.

...if they continue to make their price point so high they aren't going to win over many outside of the hardcore gaming circles.

So, having a dissenting opinion makes me a troll, eh?

Isn't Rose the one with the chainsaw teeth?
At the rate things are going, I may tell the organization which has purchased it for me to hold out for that instead.

Why fool around with bogus copies? Just get a copy from work and use the key for that.
Movies that depict rape as part of the plot will soon be outlawed in Virginia (I'm thinking Boys Don't Cry, not porn).
Is this anything like Gnu's not Unix?

I see a headline about an alternative to cooking gas devised around necessity and immediately the ignorant masses turn it into an orgy of jackassery.
