    They aren't American. They don't have our rights.

  2. COOL on Creative Uses for 5.25" Drive Bays? · · Score: 1

    THAT IS NEAT!

  3. I wrote my own... on Which Shell Do You Prefer? · · Score: 1

    I call it gsh (Geoffrey Shell). This was an assignment I had in grad school that somehow never ended.

    It isn't very full featured, and as far as a scripting shell goes it is somewhat buggy - but if I need some programming done I use C or Perl.

    However it does the stuff I want it to do!

    I could GPL and release the source, but in all honesty everyone I have gotten to try it hates it. I like it tho. And if it pissed me off I have no one to complain to but me.

    All you out there who like to complain about shells other people write: get off your rear and write your own.

    So there.

    Hey, I don't exclude myself! But let's call a spade a spade.

  13. You can still post the binaries..... on Open Source vs. Academic Dishonesty? · · Score: 1

    ....just a thought.

    Also, I have been considering the following: what if an entity want's to distribute their code in a compilable, but not human readable (with implies it cannot be modified), form?

    For instance, the code is encrypted with a key that is used at compile time (weak) to decrypt the code for the compiler. The compiler has a built in key (weaker). The compiler uses a OTP to encrypt the code (slightly less weak). The compiler recognizes different tokens (wierd).

    I don't know why one would want to do this, but consider the mental exercise anyway.

    Do you, really?

    Do you really think that Gates hasn't put a kick ass team together that whipped up a marvelous distro that makes every distro out there today look like the random keyboard peckings of idiot children?

    Please.

    Bill G is has no constraints - be it capital, time, motivation, talent, ideas, or secretive Linux development.... the man has unlimited resources.

    India will follow the rest of the world like the sheep they are... right into Bill G's wallet.

    There are threee collisions in an accident:

    1) bike with object (or road)

    The mindless automatons in H.R. need to see the right words and letters on the resume before they will forward it to a hiring manager.

    Sometimes it isn't even a human doing the processing these days - OCR for the few that still snail mail their resumes (a red flag in itself), coupled with full text indexing and data mining determine which resumes are deleted and which are forwarded.
