No one can actually play a decent-length chess game in 30 seconds, can they? I would think it would take at least 1 second to physically complete a move, with no time for thinking at all. If that's true, sounds like they were (rightly) assuming the guy would win early.
I suspect this is the new Windows "boot" where it actually resumes from hibernation after you "shut down" the previous session. They just don't bother to tell the user, to make it seem like it boots really fast.
When I shut down my computer, I want it to **shut down**, not lie to me about it.
I wonder what the heck the LMDE guys are up to, then...unless these update packs are a rollup of the regular patch updates, this would mean that their claims of LMDE being a "rolling distro" are pretty much demonstrably false.
People forget about Andrew Johnson, back during Reconstruction. He was impeached and came within a single vote of the 2/3rd majority required to convict him.
Yeah, I think a more logical expression these days would be, "it's all physics to me." Although I'll admit, I would have a hard time randomly finding someone in my area who knows Greek if put to the test.
Didn't they use one-time pads? Those 6-char settings for the day on Enigmas. The problem was that, while those settings were supposed to be random, a lot of the operators would use HIT-LER and other easily guessable ciphers. (Or are those not OTPs?)
His original goal was to preserve the prior software climate before companies close-sourced everything (right?). So working with the existing patent/whatever infrastructure, he tried to make a license whose software companies couldn't immediately steal and close-source. Companies eventually found ways to get around that legally ("tivoization"), so he made revisions to try to close those loopholes and restore the integrity of the implementation of the philosophy.
I can't really blame him. Both GPLv3 and what led to it were just maneuvers by him and corporate interests. It's true that "forcing" people who modify GPL software to license it under GPL does infringe somewhat on their rights, but this is (from his perspective) in the interest of protecting open source.
GPL is both cynical and idealistic. BSD is more pragmatic and exploitable. Public domain is completely free.

Plus he was making the apparently fallacious assumption that the article writers had any idea what they were talking about.
Oh come on, the editors obviously add a lot of value by carefully all the submissions.
In this case, it seems to pretty accurately.
Once, yes, a number of years back. Is this some in-joke that I haven't heard?
Then I have to lean over it. Neck strain.
Wouldn't that make more sense as mnt?
Seriously, we had to come up with a new, rarer version of a unicorn because we run into too many unicorns walking down the street or something?

No no, that'd be mN.

*Pogrom. If you're going to use a foreign word people may not know, please at least spell it correctly so we can google it.
IIRC this is actually *not* the first article that has been Godwinned in TFS...maybe the first one where the Godwin was in the headline, though...
That was instructions to the Israelites at one specific point in history, not an ongoing directive.
libertarian
You keep using that word.
No, he didn't. He was making a statement about a general platform issue. The guy he was responding to was talking about Libertarians.
They decided not to call a vote on something they knew they were going to win anyway? How dare they!

And hundreds of thousands of people have been slaughtered in the name of eliminating faith; fuck you, and the atheism you rode in on.
Calling someone mentally ill is the response of someone who can't construct a decent argument against their opponent.

He apparently stood for NOT being a Republican or Democrat. That's a good start.

Ah, that must be the part that DICE isn't telling us. Isn't as exciting, you know :)

Are you a BSD proponent then, or something else?
You *have* been following all the stupid shite the patent office rubber-stamps these days, right?
