As Tarzan of the Apes said to the beautiful young Countess de Coude, "One does not judge the gazelle by the lions that attack it." That book, with that line, read when I was about 14, literally saved my life. I wish all victims of abuse of all kinds could realize this. It's NOT YOUR FAULT!!!
Right... when he's got his hands around my neck telling me how easy it would be to break my neck, and how he'd have to kill me and my mother to "protect himself" if I ever told her or anyone else. Obviously you don't know how this works, so at least I am fairly sure you're not a child molester yourself. But you cannot imagine how sick and tired I am of this "blame the victim" of whatever crime. I was molested because my father is a sick slimeball, not because somehow I "allowed it" or "asked for it"; I have no problems with my own involvement or lack thereof in the matter.
At least 40% of all child molestations are by family members with no previous record. It's a pity my mom didn't have something like this to let her know all those years when my dad was molesting me.
Ok, so don't call it "genocide". What do you call something that is deliberately pushed that is known to kill hundreds of thousands of a given species every year?
And when major tobacco exporting country `US` threatens major auto export country `JP` that if `JP` takes steps to reduce their tobacco consumption, then `US` will retaliate by limiting the import of cars from `JP`, knowing that this will cause the premature death of hundreds of thousands of `JP` citizens, I'd call that genocide. If it's for greed rather than socio/politico/religious reasons, it's still genocide.
Brings back memories of my wonderful childhood, when my father would beat me and my mother if we didn't smile and sing enough; he was going to have a happy home if it killed us.
Habitat for Humanity might be a good choice here; lots of skills needed, the opportunity for simple "grunt" work that doesn't take a lot of skill in a new field so it would be a nice break from geekdom, and again all kinds of people working towards a common purpose. Where did I get this thought? From one of my knitting magazines, talking about how a family getting one of these houses was also given a number of knitted items from a local knitting club. Maybe the "geek" of the group would be able to wire the house for networking, even arrange for a couple of donated used computers that he could repair and set up.
Folic acid (a B vitamin) has been used for at least 70 years in the farming industry to prevent neural tube birth defects in cattle, but it's only in the last few years that it was acknowledged by the "official" medical industry that it does the same thing in people. These birth defects become more likely the older the mother is; supplementing with folic acid prevents them.
For the same reason Jehovah's Witnesses will keep coming back. Next time they might get a different family member who will listen to them. Or maybe the original people have moved and someone else moved in.
The reason why it's not allowable to go barefoot in most places in the US is for legal reasons. Go barefoot, cut your foot on something, sue.
Also in many parts of the world there are nasty parasites in the dirt. Not to mention that in many cultures spitting is still common by men and women both, and sidewalks or paths are covered with dog shit, broken glass, men's and kid's piss, and big old slimy green hawkers. Yes, I speak from experience.
But I do go barefoot at home, since I grew up with shoes too small due to my mother's conviction that small feet were a matter of pride, and as a result have badly twisted bones that pinch the nerves if I don't go barefoot to spread my feet. I had to walk with a cane by the age of 24 because the pain was so severe. My feet gained a full shoe size in six months when my doctor told me to go barefoot as much as possible.
A) Installation IS a pain in the ass for anyone who isn't a geek with a decent amount of experience. Hell its a pain in the ass for those who DO have a decent amount of experience, especially when trying a new distro for the first time that has a wholly different install experience.
Windows SHIPS insecure, but once installed by any competent person who knows how to tweak the system, Windows can be as secure as any other OS out there.
So to install and secure Windows you need a "competent person who knows how to tweak the system". How is this different from Linux?
This won't do much good unless all warm-blooded suppliers of the mosquitoes are so treated. A handful of humans killing/disabling a few thousand mosquitoes every year won't put a dent in the total population. This kind of thing tends to have unfortunate side effects as well. A similar treatment for dogs and cats to kill fleas has been around for years, and I don't see any reduction in the flea population. I have had a couple of really sick animals as a result of the treatment before I gave it up, though.
I always make sure to get a machine that has the bobbin fill on the outside of the machine so I can also use it to quickly and smoothly fill a bobbin with tatting thread to use in my tatting shuttles. Right now, though, I'm drooling over a Bernina 830. Bernina and Pfaff now have motion sensing devices to control speed and stitch length as you move the fabric. These are both of German design, however, so I suppose this is actually off-topic.
I lived near a high school in the US, and often thought it would be a good idea to require a high school diploma (or equivalent) to get a driver's license. Keep the high school kids off the roads, solve the parking problem in the neighborhood of high schools, and also drastically reduce the high school dropout rate.
This is not exactly a direct response to the question as asked, since it's not F/OSS. That aside, Mac users can use SubEthaEdit http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/, and share a single document with each user's focus and changes being highlighted with a selected color. It uses the Apple "bonjour" protocol, but the concept shouldn't be all that difficult to implement in other software. I'm not aware of any at the moment, however.

Um, that was sort of my whole point. In the vast majority of cases, this registry is totally useless.

Christians supposedly go to heaven to be with Jesus. Jesus was a Jew. Question answered.
um... the code Microsoft stole from Sybase is now known as MSSQL.

Steamboat Willie was a parody of a Buster Keaton film (Steamboat Bill Jr. - 1928), which oddly enough is in the public domain.
Algebra is based on even older Indian mathematical principles, as is the numeric system we use. http://india_resource.tripod.com/mathematics.htm
Yes, you are quite correct. My sincere apologies!

Overheating a teflon-coated pan will kill parrots. As will teflon-coated heat lamps.
