I wanted to set up a nice tall antenna mast to try and catch a few, but the landlord was unenthused.
Doesn't matter. According to the FCC, landlords may not prohibit you from installing antennas except for well justified safety reasons.
The rule (47 C.F.R. Section 1.4000) has been in effect since October 1996, and it prohibits restrictions that impair the installation, maintenance or use of antennas used to receive video programming. The rule applies to video antennas including direct-to-home satellite dishes that are less than one meter (39.37") in diameter (or of any size in Alaska), TV antennas, and wireless cable antennas. The rule prohibits most restrictions that: (1) unreasonably delay or prevent installation, maintenance or use; (2) unreasonably increase the cost of installation, maintenance or use; or (3) preclude reception of an acceptable quality signal.
What's the point of running something "like Fedora" if you don't buy support?
BTW, do you know if Scientific Linux has current packages for R? I have to run RHEL on my bioinformatics machine because IT here is braindead. RHEL doesn't package R, so I've been stuck building my own. I figure SL packages would work for me, but I haven't been able to find them.
In any case, if I wasn't required to have paid support I'd go straight to Debian, not Scientific Linux. Why? Because the software I use is packaged and ready to go, and I can easily check that on their website.
Why would anyone choose Scientific Linux if you can't easily check what versions of what packages are available? And if the R project(one of the most popular scientific pakages) is unavailable, that's a really good reason not to use Scientific Linux.
I personally can't imagine why anyone would ever choose to use anything but Debian under any circumstances whatsoever.
He did not want to be forced to put everyone in this class in military detention (maintaining the option of civilian courts in some cases).
US citizens have a constitutional right to trial by a jury of their peers. Any legislation that conflicts with that must be vetoed, or the President is violating his oath of office.
Voting against it would have been used against him politically as not supporting the military.
That's when you address the country, and say "Fellow Americans, this is the change you voted for". And you explain why indefinite detention threatens us all. Directly address the militaristic rednecks out there, say something like "Do you really want me, socialist negro Barack Obama to have the power to detain you indefinitely?". They'll get the picture, and if not you fought the good fight. Better than being a collaborator.
But no, that would have taken integrity, something Obama has none of.
Sorry, but I don't vote for spineless twerps without any principles. If you're not willing to fight for the principles that made this country great, fuck off and die.

Well what the hell is the point then? If I can't compile and run native GNU/Linux apps on it, I might as well buy an Android or iPhone. Why hasn't anyone replicated the N900?
Really? Does his IP maximalism really come close to his support for the NDAA? His assassination of US citizens and flagrant violation of the War Powers Act? His crack down on government whistle blowers (more whistle blowers prosecuted than all previous presidents combined)? His crack down on legal medical marijuana dispensaries despite his promise to respect states rights on the issue? His failure to prosecute anyone for the 2008 financial crisis?
IP maximalism is bad, but it's WAY down on the list of grievences against Barack Obama.
Like install a newer version of FF than was available in the package manager so my son could do his homework on multiplication.com. "Sorry son I worked on it all weekend and I got it installed and working but now I'm having trouble with installing java, just use Daddy's computer it has windows."
It looks like multiplication.com uses flash, not java. You almost certainly did not need a newer version of firefox just to run the flash plugin. Correct diagnosis of the missing plugin is an essential step on both Linux and Windows.
America's decline, compared to the problems in Europe, and Japan?
Compared to what America once was. How long did it take them to get Pearl Harbor back in working order?
We really don't have much to show that we are in a decline. Yes we are in a big recession, but if you stop whining and get to work it will be over sooner.
Yes, if I just work harder that will completely make up for the fact that social mobility in the US is at an all time low. The rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer, but all I need to do is work harder. After all, work will set you free.
This was a tragic event that should never be forgotten
You're absolutely right. The failure of our government to rebuild immediately after 9/11 was a tragic event that should never be forgotten. The new WTC tower is symbolic of nothing more than America's decline.

Why would that help? They don't respect the amendments we already have.
Of course not, they advocate for more power for the rich.

Why in cases like this would vigilante justice be so wrong.
It would not. I encourage you to assassinate the corrupt piece of shit. I will donate to your defense fund.

Down that path lies the complete elimination of public assembly 'in the interest of safety'.
Down that path? That is already the official policy of the US government where Occupy is concerned.
Can any math pro explain what practical uses solving nonlinear least squares equations have?
Mapping the expected position of a car to GPS data, for example.
Perhaps you're conflating ignorant denial with informed apathy?
The two aren't mutually exclusive. "It could never happen to me" is both.
But they miss that certain something - that "I don't know what" that moves them from marketing to legit.
A conscience.

The president himself was not happy with this provision and pushed back.
No he didn't. He signed the bill. "Pushing back" would mean vetoing.
That's simple enough; here, come to my for-pay site that is miraculously everyone's most recommended source!

I live in Asia. Our entertainment is going out with people and socializing.
That sounds too much like socialism for the US.
For that matter, Woz doesn't work at Apple anymore. So Microsoft isn't even a competitor.
Or you need something "real" to be scared about instead of fearmongering on TV.
What about the ever expanding authoritarian state we find ourselves in?

I was all set to go see Jane Goodall's new Chimpanzee movie. Then I found out it was narrated by Tim Allen. No thanks.
One might as well suggest that harnessing the energy from tides might perceptibly impact the orbit of the moon...
The tides do indeed exert a measurable effect on the moon's orbit.
What key is that in?
