Do they port these to their Linux clone themselves, or do these projects already include support for it?
If the latter, perhaps it would be wise not not to explicitly support it in future versions.
And it's really difficult for me to understand how a company can claim the GPL is invalid/illegal/unconstitutional while distributing copies of it to customers.
Let's tax gyms to help fight violence, banks to help fight forgery, and telemarketers to help create an anti-spam task force (or just fund carpet-bombing Florida, which could have pretty much the same result).
Murder is only clearly a disproportional response if you believe in an inherent value to human life... I was trying to point out that there are other reasons for wanting the guy dead.
I'm sure the he wasn't such a great guy overall, and there were quite a few people who wanted him dead for one reason or another.
However, I do believe in an inherent value to human life - but that goes for the victims too. How would you justify not killing somebody who you knew for a fact was going to murder - an innocent, mind you - again? I don't see why this person should be treated any better, just because his evil is spread thinly over millions of victims instead of focusing on one.
This person has made a living by harming other people. He has done so for a long time. He would have been delighted to continue harming people for the rest of his life. Murder is clearly a disproportional response...
Is it really?
Every day, he was responsible for several days (weeks?) worth of wasted time.
Unless his time (on earth) was far more important than the victims', the world is better off with him gone.
What do you think should be the appropriate punishment for, say, several billion counts of fraud (email headers?) never mind even the unsolicited aspect and the fact the mail was probably sent from either unknowing relays or zombie machines. Let's add a few million counts of whatever the legal term for that is - tell me, what would be fitting for the crime? A fine, maybe?
Is the only problem with those emails the sexual content?
Were there no forged email headers? Was the unsubscribe link valid and not a source of more spam? Was the spam not sent from unsecured, unknowing mail servers? Was there no attempt to deceive recipients or get past spam blockers? Was the sender properly identified?
This should end with prison sentences, not a fine - but unless there's evil porn involved, good luck getting law enforcement even mildly interested.
Remember kids: if it's sex, it's bad. Otherwise, it's good. A simple rule, and easy to remember.
If you have the time to contemplate the word "gamer" then you [are]... great at managing time in which case you should write a book on time management.
In that case, wouldn't you be really bad at time management?
Oh - and by the way, the study says "These were informative and motivational messages sent weekly for 12 weeks". How is that spam?
I'm guessing they didn't opt in, the email headers were forged, they were sent through open relays, and the mails included referral links to sleazy web sites offering related products.

"P2P stands for piracy to pornography" -- Andrew Lack, CEO of Sony Music Entertainment.
Now, I know the RIAA is against piracy - that means they're using P2P for pornography!
Parents, make sure to protect your kids from RIAA music filth! They will grow up to become slutty cop killers like the ones in that game that tells you to kill all Haitians, or maybe the ones in resident of evil creek!
Now this is a flash ad right, so you should be able to right click on it and stop it from playing, and stop the flash from looping. Nope. The creator of the flash disabled all controls.
Why do you have a plugin installed that lets you have such little control?
Uninstall it, call the plugin vendor and explain why you will not use their product until the necessary features are implemented; convince as many others as possible to do the same.
Unless you're buying in bulk (and even then prints at a shop often go down in price as the quantity goes up), you're still probably paying 1 1/2 times as much to print at home. And that's before you find out that the print is less durable.
The only real benefit to a printer is convenience. Get your prints without having to take/send your files to the photo lab.
Another benefit is being able to take pictures of your 6 month old baby without being worried about a minimum wage drone calling the police.
How about some characters who actually fall outside the 16-21 age range for once? Please?
There's a very good reason for this. You see, like uncle Ben put it, these are the years a man changes into the man he will be for the rest of his life.
More incentive to use a completely closed and proprietary VOIP solution
Fine. Please recommend an open source, multiplatform VOIP solution that just works, letting people find each other and communicate securely without understanding their firewall configuration etc or having to type in the address of (or install?) a central server. If possible, something that supports video and/or text and/or whiteboard functionality.

Is there some new show on G4TV that's even more awful than some of their current shows? ("cheat": buy a new game, get stuck, ignore the net and game guides and hope that show covers your game soon?

Game publishers are on streets selling crack to feed their family.
Or just sell magazine subscriptions door to door, pretending to be reformed crack addicts.
Is this a legal or moral position?
Let's just pass a law to this effect, and we should be fine.

If the presentation was Hilarious, I assume that in future Apache configuration will be easier.
Otherwise I'd define it "sadly realistic"...
"sadly realistic" is an anagram of "really sadistic".
> "At this rate kids won't be able to play Mario because Princess Peach is dressed too slutty."
Oh yeah, because Nintendo's been leading the charge for the last 20 years to reveal more skin in video games.
Well, in all fairness, she does appear in a shower scene in Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.

Now, back on topic: If your photos look too good, why hassle with the local Walmart just to get yourself what's going to be, at best, an 'okay' print?
Isn't it obvious? It's because we love Wal*Mart, and want to support its business practices by voting with our wallets.
Quick, somebody tell the guys at Mario Fan Games Galaxy! I'll bet they'll start a web site for this kind of thing!

That's true of every article... yet they still have titles. It's almost as though the titles are the to serve some kind of purpose, isn't it?
If all the titles from now on were changed to "Information About Subject" your precious advice would still be true, but so would my observation.
