Absolutely. I want to be able to walk into a store, buy some random piece of hardware and be absolutely sure that it will work under Linux. I don't care how many people use Linux, I just want to make my own personal choice to use it easier.
The question is, what market share is required to achieve this? I'm betting it's fairly low, I mean, even at 1% we are starting to see some traction. Boxes with Linux pre-installed are available from major manufacturers (albeit in a limited and hidden manner), more and more hardware makers are starting to produce drivers or release specs so the community can (I'm looking at ATI here).
If we are getting all this at 1%, then surely full-support can't need a huge amount more, I'd guess at 10% we should be good. How long it will take to get there is another question.
We should reinstate the draft and send these people to some foreign country to get blown up. Or at the very least, basic training.
Yes because it is much better when the annoying people are trained killers. Military training doesn't necessarily stop you being an inconsiderate twat.
We can't even be sure of that, we never heard details of its programming. If it had self-preservation as one of its primary directives then it could well have just been following that. It didn't try to exterminate humanity until after they tried to "pull the plug".
It's a good idea but we don't even know if it will affect them.

Linux 2.6.27 Out
·
· Score: 1
Support for the chipset used in the EEE 701 has been written and tested for ath5k, but it was too late to get in to 2.6.27 through the normal way (missed the merge window). I read something about trying to get it in anyway but I don't know if that happened or not.
It should definitely be in 2.6.28 though. This is based on stuff I've read on the ath5k-devel mailing list.
That's not exactly right. Women want to fuck *powerful* guys. Being physically fit is one form of that, being rich is another. High-level politicians seem to do well too.
You could be working at a company you were moved twice in one year, had your stapler taken away, be forced by your boss to share your cube with storage that takes up almost all of your space, have your paycheck suddenly stop coming, and finally be moved to the basement with the cockroaches. I'd burn the place down if they did that to me.
[Guys] all want to get laid by as many good looking women as we possibly can in a lifetime. You may think you're just being straightforward and honest, but you're being straightforward and wrong. True, they don't have to be good looking.
The advantage of OpenID is not replacing typing in a username and password with a URL. It is not having to sign up with Joe Random's blog site in order to post a one line comment. I don't want to give out my email address to every site I want to contribute to. Sure I could make up fake info for the site, but most of the time even that's too much work to bother with.
OpenID has problems yes, but there are technical solutions for all the ones I know of, including the redirect/proxy one you highlight. I've yet to see another solution to the identity problem that doesn't involve a centralised trust authority.

Does that mean that in two million years we'll be using the younger races as pawns and telepathically programming them to view us as their gods?
Either that or we'll be busy convincing them all to go attack each other so they can evolve.

or some sort of Death Clock.
Serenity? Really? It is a space station, not a ship. It should obviously be called Babylon.

They aren't afraid it will blow up, they are afraid that its very presence will contaminate everything for hundreds of miles.
It's the planet Trenco where the Thionite grows! Now we just need to find Arisia and we are set.
If they are treating their own VOIP differently than other traffic then it isn't "protocol agnostic" at all.
Skynet went rogue, but that's another issue.

I'm beginning to think we should revisit Guy Fawkes' plan.
It would be a boon for the genetically engineered soldiers who recently escaped from Manticore though.

Firefox, an early 80s film starring Clint Eastwood who is sent to steal a Russian thought-controlled jet.
Bleep bloop
It only does that when it gets hit by black rectangular objects.
In the same way a tiny percentage of the human population are psychopaths, a tiny percentage of lawyers are good.
Never mind wiping it, this stuff should never be stored unencrypted in the first place.
Come and see the violence inherent in the system. Help, help, I'm being repressed.
