I don't know. Who did? I said one needs to be able to house their family.
Main Entry: house Listen to the pronunciation of house
Pronunciation: \ËhauÌz\
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): housed; housÂing
Date: before 12th century
transitive verb
a: to provide with living quarters or shelter
Rent a one-room appartment.
Yeah and have 0 living space for a family?
That's certainly large enough for a family witha few kids.
I'm guessing you've never actually had a family to make such a statement, have you?
Presumably, your husband/wife would also have a job at McDonalds, so we are not talking about one income anyway.
Wow so you can net a grand total of around 16k on those splendid McDonalds jobs. Good luck affording housing, food, vehicles, etc for even a family with 1 or 2 kids with that amount.
I for one, know I dont want 1 click everything with (for e.g. mono, imho novell really likes to push this on people) some screwy licensed software being eventually installed without being asked and or notified about it.
What is screwy in the licensing of mono? The various parts of the code are licensed either under the GPLv2, LGPLv2 and MIT.
Seriously, why does linux have so many release cycles.
Because people want the latest versions of software?
That's one thing I didnt like about Ubuntu. It took me forever to get it running just the way I wanted and by then a new version was out and I had the pressure to upgrade..and of course..I had to set up everything again since invariably, it broke something.
You didn't have to upgrade at all. No one forces you to do so if everything already works just fine.
It's funny how many people here bitched that windows was coming out with Win 7 so soon after vista, but they don't mind that linux seems to release something every couple months depending on the distro. Odd.
Because it doesn't cost me a couple of hundred dollars to upgrade from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10? Or from Fedora 10 to 11? I'm sure that has nothing to do with it.
Because a web host has the time and money to spend auditing every single line of code of every software they use? This is discounting the fact that the software in question was a proprietary app that was also widely used by others. So I'd say that they probably did as much due diligence as was possible but all the due diligence in the world isn't going to save you when someone may find a way to exploit code.
But if you really are/that/ stressed about your job, even a job at McDonalds might be better even if that means you can't afford that 50 inch plasma.
And how is that job from McDonalds going to provide even the most basic of needs for a person and their family? This goes beyond not being able to afford a 50 inch plasma, it would be more like you won't be able to afford to house your family on that salary.
The users probably didn't consider it a likely occurrence, and may have believed that the web host should be able to fix a problem that they allowed due to their negligence.
But this wasn't due to negligence on the part of the web host. This was due to some Indian guy putting out apparently shitty software that contains amateur-level exploits.
There have been many people who use "loose" where they've meant "lose", but I think this is the first time someone has made this stupid mistake in the reverse.
So does this mean it was all one huge typo? Or was Oracle/Sun tentatively testing the waters to see the community's reaction? In either case it's nice to see Java's back on the right path."
No, it means that the original article was a misleading pile of FUD since the G1 garbage collector was released GPL + Classpath exception from the beginning. It's amusing that after being pointed out that the original submission was misleading and wrong that instead of this being a retraction that this article still tries to implicitly claim that Sun or Oracle did something wrong.
This seems kind of retarded because Google Gadgets is already GTK and Qt.
And Google Gadgets has different engineers working on it. The team working on Chrome, as Ben pointed out, has more experience and familiarity with GTK which is why they are using it.
And if you actually READ that study, the study was done on RATS, not on humans.
I did read the study and did know that. How does that make it any less of a breakthrough? Was the initial polio vaccine not a breakthrough just because it was only initially only worked on monkeys? I never once claimed this was some ready for human therapy but that doesn't make it any less of a breakthrough. In fact, it's because of that trial that the study I linked was approved and the ones running it admit to building upon the work of that previous trial.
No wonder you've never heard of Humanae Vitae- you're as illiterate as any science-worshipper I've ever come across.

Who says you need a house?

I was always wondering why this protocol and all related software have not disappeared yet.
Because of alt.binaries.*
This coming from the person who replied to my post 19 hours later?
Ubuntu and Fedora are desktop OS's. Not that they can't run as servers, just why would you.
Ubuntu Server Edition would like to have a word with you.
5. Non-Simple Update from Different Revision of the OS. Maybe I am ignorant but These this hinder linux from becoming a complete powerhouse.
You are ignorant. To ugprade from one Ubuntu revision to another requires hitting a single button marked "upgrade". Wow, that was so hard.
This is a good thing, because I like using commercial software on Linux (read: I like using VMware Player to run virtual machines),
Why would you need RHEL to run VMware Player? It's been in the Ubuntu repositories since 6.06.

There is nothing sad about having a brother who is hung. Unless he's stealing all your girlfriends that is.

You've already signed up for that. It's overpriced in part because they're paying a chunk of the price of the phone.
Yeah which answers your question of how they are going to get their money back.
So why should they throw away another couple hundred dollars on a customer they already have?
Because they are going to make that a couple times over on the ridiculous monthly bills from your phone and data plan?
Additionally could this implicate free software as we saw on the iPhone, lots and lots of extremely hampered trial-ware?
What would be the point since this isn't going to be a pay-for-apps store?
How is AT&T supposed to make money giving away subsidized phones before they pay back the ones they've already subsidized?
The overpriced data plan that they force you to sign up for?
If he changed his last name to Patches that would be Pirate Patches.

People were so buy foaming at the mouth that they never bothered to read the actual article
But but but! Oracle is eviiiiiiiiiiiil! Who cares what the truth was? Did you know that Oracle was eviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiil!
True. I seems like poor English grammar skills and reading comprehension are requirements for becoming a Slashdot editor.

Well when did ScuttleMonkey ever actually read, or even comprehend, the articles he posts?
Actually the original article was posted by ScuttleMonkey, but both are masters at spreading misleading, FUD-filled articles.

Well then you better get to porting that Javascript JIT to PPC then if you want it to run on your G5.
