First they came for the Americans and I did not speak out because I was not an American. Then they came for the Australians and I did not speak out because I was not an Australian. Then they came for the Linux users and I did not speak out because I was running NetBSD. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me except for the slashdot crowd but nobody was listening to them anyway.
Funny thing is, Mitnick was a VAX expert, not UNIX (and certainly not Linux). Of course, none of the other shit you said was true, so I guess you don't really care.
I don't think requiring it will work but I do think it could at the very least be socially encouraged. Make election day a national holiday and provide incentives for public events that day which celebrate democratic heritage. Or make election day a couple of days long so people can't be too busy to vote. A publicly sponsored ad campaign could make a huge difference in voter turnout, especially combined with social incentives to vote. My polling place should be next to a large public park, preferably with events scheduled for election day including educational events that emphasize the history and philosophy of democracy.
I don't think it would be that difficult to actually increase voter turnout, but people have to actually want to increase turnout. Politicians don't want to do that because then voters are far less predictable. The 30% of people who actually do vote fall into nice categories that are convenient for pollsters and campaigners. If politicians know they only need to convince upper middle class 60+ year olds, their jobs are easier.
Open Office, the Official Office Productivity Suite of the Zionist Occupiers!! Giving you the office productivity tools that you need to slaughter and displace Palestinians in a manner that is both efficient and user-friendly!
Here's a test for you. Try using the word "niggardly" in a sentence and see how many thin-skinned feebs decide to tar and feather you for being a racist.
People need to get over their accute desire to be offended at every stupid little thing and just get on with life. And governements, of all sizes, need to stop wasting time and taxpayer money on useless, pointless bullshit and work on real problems.
I agree -- we need to quit all this niggling; it makes us look like a bunch of nigglers!
Remember how the generic pronoun "he" was considered sexist, and now we're supposed to write the contraction "s/he" to mean "she or he"? Well, it's pretty clear that this discriminates against nongendered species as well as inorganic objects. Thus I propose the written contraction "s/h/it" to mean "she, he, or it." I'll contact the LA County supervisors right away with my proposal.
injecting arbitrary code thereby gaining remote root access on the machine
I'm no cracker, but I imagine that if you want to gain root on a machine, you're going to have to inject pretty specific instructions, not arbitrary code.
At last, a CEO not afraid to break the silence about Linux. I was a linux user, so I know the kinds of pressures that you succumb to. You wind up using crack to check the security of your system. And to detect intrusions, you snort.... It only gets worse from there. Listen to this man, before it's too late.
Slashdot Mirror
Blender is open source, so if your friend wants a fork in it all he has to do is download the code and write it himself.
You misspelled "are."
It's the extremist centrists up to their old tricks again.
your girlfriend knows what .ogg even means?
you are proposing tomorrow, right?
Nah. We'd just prepare a powerpoint presentation.
You just violated the DMCA.

I'd love to give redhat some slack, but they'll just say it's still not ready for the desktop.
emacs.

presumably, they will be doing the voting.

No. This is.

I bet it was less well written, if you spell hope with a "v"!

Yeah that's what we need. Leno trying to explain the GPL.

It is -- you can do all the above with only one mouse button!

Who needs mirrors? Can't somebody just seed a copy on bittorrent for Internet2?
Actually, it's more like "Boy, that BMW looks really cool; the only thing I like better is this flying Batmobile."
Like run OS X?
If they could just include some liquor/bar nuts etc., it could be a worthy competitor to my local bar.
