That depends; if it saves enough people sufficient trouble patching their Linux source trees, then redundant data transfer might be a price worth paying.
So you've noticed sex can be geeky to? You know, you half-wake in the middle of the night from a C-hacking dream with the raging horn and your s.o. lying next to you, there's only two chars' difference between hacking and **cking, one thing leads to another, we've all been there, right? As the int main(int argc, char *argv[]){..}s scroll through your minds eye, your scrolling through her pie! Know what I mean??
If you logged in rather than being an AC you could turn off all the colour schemes and graphics. My slashdot is quite similar in feel to google - minimal and lightweight.
However, on the tables and HTML code side, you're quite right.
Why is an RDBMS with a GUI not also a solution for single user applications (with the added benefit that the scaling up to more users in the future is already done!
True; however I don't think "retard" is commonly used to mean someone with Down Syndrome. It's a bit like calling a spas^H^H^H^H I mean someone afflicted by cerebral palsy "a spastic". Or someone with African heritage "a black".
Sounds like an interesting game. But you avoided my main question!
I don't see any point in "addressing... issues" if it doesn't make people act differently in the "real" world. You're gaming strategies may change, but do your life strategies?
So, has your gaming experience changed your Big Blue Room attitude? Or perhaps, has it re-inforced your original attitude? No change?
If people used "that's so female" to diss products and people regularly, would that be ok? Ignore the feminist backlash -- would it be ok in terms of its effect on how people treat one another away from the spaces where they say that? I don't think so.
While it's less and less common, its not unkonwn around me for a man to be accused of womanly behaviour as an insult indicating cowardice or technical incompetence. But indeed, jovial accusations of homosexuality for identical reasons are more common; for instance, prior to implementing configuration changes in production without following the appropriate change management procedures: "What are ye, a poof?". Actually, sometimes it can be funny. No, I'm not a poof, but I have been called one and I know a few.
What is a retard? I would guess it's an American term for a stupid person.
I'm in the UK; we don't say "retard", we say idiot, moron, fuckwit, imbecile, etc.
Anyway, the word "mongoloid" does indeed refer to racial characteristics of people from the far East - especially Mongolia.
The word "Mongol" means someone from Mongolia. Additionally, it has a politically incorrect meaning - someone with Down Syndrome. The cause of Down Syndrome is genetic. The syndrome's obvious manifestations are low intelligence and a distinctive appearance - similar in some ways to the appearance of real Mongols. Hence the link.
The link between the word gay and it's "bad" associations is completely disimilar to the link between the word "mongol" and it's "bad" associations. One is based on appearance. The other is based on prejudice.
Homosexuality may well be genetic. However, the word 'defect' implies a list of necessary attributes to be an acceptable human. What makes you think heterosexuality is a requirement for being an acceptable human?
Did you ever consider the possibility that homosexuality benefits society?
Even from a narrow minded selfish-gene perspective, homosexuality may bring things to humanity as a species that promotes the genes of the species. Perhaps we need childless people to devote their lives to works other than raising their children.
And escaping from that narrow minded perspective, perhaps homosexuality benefits us in other ways. Don't you think the arts are richer given the unique perspectives and styles homosexual people often bring?
I've given you the benefit of the doubt by presenting some reasoned counterpoints to your original post. If you've got this far and still maintain your original view, here's my verdict: bigotted moron.
That wasn't very funny. Please see my post for an example of a successful way to refer to SCO, and simultaneously entertain your audience, in this story.

You're right. I'm an atheist, and I'm against the declaration and execution of war, under false pretences, upon underdog nations. Tony Blair and George W Bush are both Christians. Hallelujah!

I don't think he'd have kept his system running long enough to transfer stuff to another system if he'd just uninstalled glibc. Sounds like he removed something useful but not essential. Maybe glib, for example.
Dunno, maybe his cp is statically linked. But my point is, if it was just glib, it could simply be reinstalled, no need to sweat.

I don't think it is, but it might be.
Don't delay, there's no reason to. It took me a while to get everything hammered out... [list of problems]...
Ummm...
Don't get me wrong, I'm running 2.6.3 on a Toshiba Libretto 50CT and it's fine.

Actually, Magnatune do flac.
But re-encode it on a new format and you will tell the difference. Anyway, I'm now downloading a FLAC-encoded album from Magnatune; I paid $8.
Nice! Flac is good! Magnatune is good!
Just bought my first album. Recommend it for those who like techno with an edge. "Processor: Insomnia".
Audio Lunchbox looks good too, but their streaming is a bit broken (perhaps slashdotted) and I couldn't find much music I liked.
Thanks for the heads up.

Have you changed your gameplay strategy to avoid using jet? Why, in the game, would one shoot up jet in the first place?
You're a sample of one, but anyway.
