While I agree there is a definate tinfoil hat element to the peak oil thing, coal really isnt the answer. We are already overdoing the co2 emission thing, coals just gunna make it ugly.
Now that said, natural gas:: Tis a winner. Cheap and clean (solar/wind even better of course!)
Basically russia at the outset went a little nutty up to '65 with the veto's then dropped right off while the US took the lead.
Till 2001 it had only been the US and China that used them. I gather since france and germany have showed up on that graph.
Ultimately I suspect the best thing to do is replace it with a court. If you want to invade someone or attack, you prosecute them. They can defend themselves in court. The onus is on the attacker to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the guilty party has broken the law in a way that deserves intervention.
And if you cant prove your charge. The court finds the defendant guilty, and if you still attack them you would then be a war criminal.
If people can defend there lives in court, why not countries. Its the fairest way possible.
SInce when was china socialist? I'm not aware of the workers being in control of the means of production;) loose definitions make for silly conversations;)
Yes they where a linux vendor.. and if you read the article THEY WHERE A DOING IT 20 YEARS AGO (add the dots... they started with linux and claim to of started 20 years ago)
So its 20 years linux experience!!!!! . . . um?!

Well Maybe.
The Raeleans claim a mission going back to the beginning of time despite the cult starting in the 60's or whenever.
SCO claim 20 years experience in the article (despite that caldera was started in 1995).
So Raeleans are ridiculous by a few million years, and caldera ridiculous by only 13 (thereabouts) years.:) see.
Who do you think we professionals trust more? Reliable companies with tried and tested products, or that bedroom coder Thorwalds who publicly admits that he is in fact A HACKER???
Hats off to you good sir! The funniest troll I've seen in a while. Actually had me about ready to engage in a shouting fit till that last line. Hilarious.
I note in the rather excelent salt lake article that Linus was asked if he wanted to pass on a message to Darl, which he declined.
I would of loved that oportunity. I'd ask Darl a question. Sorta like this;- I'd ask "Darl, Are you happy? I mean *REALLY* happy?. Are you happy that you have made one of the most well loved unix brands into an almost universal object of loathing amongst IT professionals. Happy you are planning to capture and destroy the work of thousands of passionate individuals worth millions of manhours. Happy you are building an enterprise on a foundation of litigation of lies." I'd ask "Darl. If indeed you are happy then, tell me, would you in all conscience recomend to your children that they act as you do?" And finally I'd ask "Darl. Men live in this world only a short time. When your day of reckoning comes, just what *WILL* you say to your creator when he asks you if your prescence on this planet has made the world a better place."
What IBM fails to realise is that their market share is negligible. Intel and AMD lead, hell, even Apple's...
er? I'm not sure you gather IBM's market. Its big iron kiddo. I/O monstery , Fast-as-fury computation, freakishly humongous hard drives stuffing freakishly humongous amounts of data on em *fast*. Thats IBM's market.
And I suggest you keep your industry expertise to said console market. Methinx you make a fool of yourself.
I really do wish people would stop trying to hang andrew on a conversation he had with linus, like 10 odd years ago.
Andrew is a genius. He's implemenented so many damn things its mind boggling. Hey, so is Linus. But the domains are diferent, and so are the timelines.
Minix was ten years ago. Shit the web page seems to of not changed in about as much time.
And your 'bad 2 percent' example of 'active male homosexuals', 'nra members' and 'convicted felons' is offensive.
For what its worth, a good friend of mine got an actual psychologist to test her. she waltzed in at around 135 or a bit over. She's also a PHD candidate and one of the most brilliant women I have met in my 8+ years in higher education.
Psychologists must cringe when the uninitiated speak of IQ testing.
actually the registry does have a degree of security with acl's
One nifty but overlooked way to lock some stuff down (I do this with parents w2k machine) is to just set permissions on various critical reg entries.
to easy.
but your right. the worst problem for win security is userland chaos.
Hey, just open that temp file (or a preemptive dummy) and lock the inode (or whatever the hell its called in win) and watch that root program try and access it. oooooops. even more fun with dlls.
The GNU project is probably still too busy getting rid of project maintainers that do not agree to use the restrictive, some would say unfree, GFDL.
Just read my journal. It explains some of what has happened.
Who modded that troll? Geez. Read the journal article. The guy just got booted as a Hurd maintainer because he was worried the GNU doc licence is to non-free.
Also dude, you should submit your story onto newsforge or something. Its worrying.
Ignore em depesz. I know , as do most IT folk who have anything vaguely resembling a clue.
Unfortunately some folk see it better to critisize what they don't understand rather than.. oh... say... ask a question that leads to an answer that informs and delights other.
Had it been asked, one could of then replied "Savannah is GNU/FSF's version of Sourceforge without the proprietry bits or non free projects.
As an educated person, I can assure you I have no issue with french people. The francophone hate was purely an american phenomenon.
I also have no issue with american people. I quite like them infact. But I tell you now, that government of yours is presently scarign the hell out of most of the world right now.
Indeed comparing the US govt with the French is rather dismal infact. Sure the French Govt have displayed some deep hypocracy, but NO ONE missed the tragic irony of the US disobeying the UN on Iraq while claiming to be enforcing international law.
Leaders may be jumping to GWB's side, but you need to understand my friend , the US neo-cons are not loved, only tolerated. Its not like the rest of the world has much choice against a government hell bent on bullying countries that under normal circumstance would be quite willing allies.
Anti-competitive reconstruction contracts based on the political stances of democratic elected governments? No one apreciates that sort of unfair crap.

Hehe. As an aussie, I once was 'battling' a rather pernicious online neo-nazi troll who was trying to tell me that jews control the media.
I had to kinda point out that as bizare as it sounds, you could probably make a case in point that infact aussies do.
Tinfoil hats ON! Aussie mind control lazer satelites are orbiting the earth!

Putting the post under a GPL, genius!
Actually thats exactly what the judge ordered.

Because said person wouldnt just be a freak. They'd be a cover of scientific american freak.
Hey! I can use the console.
still cant figure out how the hell to export an nfs mount tho (For backup on the linux server):(
Forget DMCA. P2P will be one strange world with these confounded robots trading , searching and the like.
Imagine turning on gnutella and seeing searches such as;-
lube job.
crank shaft.
hard drive.
python.
MOUSE PORT FOR GODSAKE!
The mind boggles at the devious robots.
daemons I tell ya!
daemons!
Well since I've been obsessed a little with litigious bastards too much lately, maybe not mentioning litigious bastards too often might even help me stop obsessing over litigious bastards.
Eh... Doing my bit for the google bomb.
Also. Be cool if linus did move to australia. could even give him a beer to fix my dvd driver issue. Yeah.
Rather think bout that than litigious bastards
You do not have an IQ of 182.
The parent post is unlikely to have 140.

Honestly.
The dude should of taken countersuit against nissan motorcars and demanded they cease and desist using the name nissan to trade under.
I find it baffling that in the land of the free, only the big get to be free.
Erm. From memory (I havent tweaked with win2k in over a year and a half btw) its something like regedit32 or something.
Its in the windows/system32 directory I think
In there there is a security thingo that allows you to tweak the acl's for reg keys.
From memory.
Now go and lock down that pc.
actually the registry does have a degree of security with acl's
One nifty but overlooked way to lock some stuff down (I do this with parents w2k machine) is to just set permissions on various critical reg entries.

I kinda thought he filmed 1,2 & 3 together so that if 1 flopped, at least 2 & 3 where filmed so that at least SOMEDAY the trilogy would be complete.
