Hmmm... slackware 1996 (with X, FVWM, etc...) vs Win98. Slackware wins big, feature-wise. MacOS probably does, also. You are wrong, you know. By 1996, a slackware could do everything WinNT 4 could not, *and* run X+fvwm95, presenting a somewhat similar interface. Ok, the daemons were more difficult to configure, but that's it. I worked at a ISP at that time and I can say to you: it was WAAY easy to drop a NT4 machine off the net (remember the ping-of-death thing? i had to disable all icmp in our Sisco router because of it)
Sue your service provider I don't live in a lawsuit-against-cell-provider-friendly jurisdiction... But the SMS-spam seems to have slowed down the last 2 days... maybe it was father's day fever (last sunday down here, it was)
What I do want to understand is: why there isn't a single non-rich OR non-white OR non-christian running for prez in the US of A? why both Dem and Rep always indicate them? Why don't you for the love of $DEITY start voting ONLY in non-Democrats-non-Republicans for every single instance?
Ok, my experience with Europe is not pan-European (Spain, Portugal, France, Autria) but, despite my looks -- slightly dark complexion, a mix of typical Italo-american and Arab, not very tall, dark hair, light brown eyes --, I was well treated in all of these countries, with no problem at all. And I lived in Spain for a year, but there I was at home -- almost every Spaniard guy I knew looked just like me:-)
are vastly more affected because they don't really mingle (as a rule, with exceptions).
Point in case: me.
My grand-grandparents are of the following origins: Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, South American Native, Black, Middle Eastern (Nobody [currently alive] knows if she was Jew or Arab), and Oriental.
How can I be a bigot? Whatever your race is, I certainly can feel related. Many Brazilians are in the same condition as I am, maybe I am more conscious (having done some extensive genealogic research) of my multi-ethnicity. When filling forms with "race/ethnicity", I usually seek for the "all of the above" option...:-)
But USofAns, more than European people, apparently segregate much more deeply, by race, by religion, etc. They don't seem to intermarry as commonly as down here.
What appalled me in your link was the fact that this woman *is* in fact intermarried with a white guy and she fears and have nightmares with black folks. This is a sign IMHO that *she* has serious problems.
BUFFER OVERFLOW. Yes. The plain text SMTP mail client in your phone may be infected by a virus-type code injection via a buffer overflow. The Bluetooth stack (if existing) can be infected this way too, and security flaws can be exploited from 50m (150ft) away, using a properly shaped antenna.
the "opposite" meant "using GPL'd code in BSD'd projects". This is not possible. You can get another license from **ALL** the copyright owners (one that is BSD'd compatible -- not the GPL), but then it's not "the GPL'd code" anymore, is it?
And I took some weeks to get used to their -15C winter.
But you really have to take in consideration my clothing today [very cold (to us) winter day: 8C (47F) min, 23C (73F) max. -- current temperature]. I left my home at 07:45am, wearing black pants, t-shirt, and a Hard Rock Cafe sweater(*) (which I got off by 3pm).
When I was in Madrid's winter, I had three to four kilos of wool clothing on to go out... And, no, 18C (65F) is cold to me. I would have to put my sweater back on. 23C (73F, the temperature right now (5pm)) is comfortable in my t-shirts.
(*) is this the right name of this clothing piece?
Just so you know, more than half the world's population live in places like I do (Belo Horizonte, SE Brasil) where THE FUCKING ROOM TEMPERATURE IS COMPATIBLE WITH HUMAN LIFE ALL YEAR LONG -- that is, between 12C and 35C normally (50-100F?), ranging in extremis from 0C to 45C (30-120F). This includes most of India, large portions of Africa, most of South America, large parts of East Asia, Middle East, large parts of Oceania...
You deserved the flamebait moderation.
Now, even for that kind of places (as I said in other post) car windows would be great with this glass...
Where I live (Belo Horizonte, southwestern Brasil) 84F (29C) is room temperature 9 out of the 12 months of the year. In the northern states, it's 11/12. We usually only turn our ACs on at home when it's 37C (100F) and above.
Notwithstanding, this is _great_ (if the yellow tint and the toxicity when broken issues are solved) for car windows. AC won't kick in as often (less gas spent), seats/steering wheel won't get ultra-hot when the vehicle is left under the sun (the beach!!), baby-left-in-the-car dehidration deaths won't happen.
I am laughing my ass off. What is a "Brazilian issue"? What does Orkut have to do with blogs? The only complaint I have with Orkut is that their "forgot-my-password" thingie seems not to be working.
1. don't try to track sid every single day. 1(a). this means: apt-get upgrade if and only if there is a serious vulnerability; optionally, once a week, preferably once a month. 2. USE apt-listbugs. 2(a). this means: READ the fscking bugs. take a special look in those marked by apt-listbugs with , but DO read all of them. in any apt-get dist-upgrade, I get at most 30 bugs. 3. USE apt-listchanges. 3(a). yes, you know the drill. READ the changes. SEARCH for changed functionality, especially in packages you tinkered with the config.

Don't trust me, trust Schneier on this: once you deliver the encripted stream *and* the key to somebody, there is no security at all.

I'm currently shopping for a cell phone that can filter SMS spam... :-(

Here in Brasil, it's forbidden to get your license driving an automatic. period. Your license is valid to drive automatics, too.

Slightly longer answer: yes, if it is 2- or 3-clause BSD; 4-clause BSD code must have exemption from all copyright-owners-GPL-licensors to be used.
The opposite is not true - period. If all copyright owners relicense their software under BSD license, then it can be used in BSD'd code.
I should have marked the humour in my post as such. I am replying to you in hope the other guys down there look at this reply, too.
But the vast majority of guns that are used at all are used to commit crimes. Period.

how can you be so sure?
