If you just clone IE, what's the point of having Mozilla?
The whole point to mozilla is to compete with IE. They are producing a superior, standards complaint browser that will eventually force microsoft to clean up their act.
How many were just stuck in the mob, and how do you get the 250k number?
The Nation of Islam claimed to have 1 million men march on Washington DC, yet the number of people present looked far less that marches claiming 90,000 or less people.
Economic activity has little to do with the presidency.
Someday, morons like yourself might oneday realize that there is thing thing called a "business cycle". The dot-com extravaganza was a boom that busted. Period.
Bush pushed his tax proposals through in the Summer of 2001. The dotcom bubble and market started imploding in 1999. Anyone who can blame Bush for economic collapse after major banks and venture capitalists were funding companies that delivered wholesale groceries under cost is an idiot.
From the horses mouth:

"GNOME is chock-full of cutting edge technologies. Network transparent component technology using CORBA, extensive use of XML, and one of the most advanced imaging models on any platform are only some of the features that makes GNOME the closest to rocket science you're likely to run on your desktop. In addition, it's all implemented in extremely efficient C, which makes it fast, lean, and very portable."
Is it just me, or is it somewhat amusing that the authors of a bloated CORBA graphics framework like GNOME are complaining about re-inventing the wheel or performance sacrifices?
Wasn't the GNOME project the outraged response of the GNU crowd to KDE?
The one thing that all large open-source projects have in common is a bunch of prima donnas running the show.
The agency that I work for just purchased four large IBM mainframes, which will run virtual Unix and Linux partitions that will replace approximately 250 Solaris, HP-UX and Linux servers. We'll save aroune $2.5M in software and hardware service contracts in the first year alone.
Guess what's going to happen to the bloated Open Systems/Unix system administrators during the next round of budget cuts?
Oh, btw, our state's DMV just decommissioned a water-cooled mainframe originally purchased in 1981 and replaced it with a new more powerful machine. The switchover resulted in approximately 4 minutes of downtime. That simply isn't possible on any other platform. Heck, Bill Gates was playing with Basic interperters and Linus Torvalds was playing with Tonka trucks in 1981.
I'd get another accountant. Have your new accountant review your previous returns.
$30k in deductions for a professional couple sounds a little high to me.
Also, you're not saving $14,000 in taxes, you are saving $14,000 *.
Plenty of so-called "consultants" improperly deduct portions of their homes or cars or fail to follow the rules properly. If you don't do these things properly, you leave yourself open to stiff penalties and interest.
It is quite easy for repressive governments to repress the use of the internet. While there's a huge community of repressed peoples in China and the Mideast, they do not have ready access to the Web.
If you go to Saudi Arabia, you'll find a handful of ISPs all owned or controlled by elements of the government and running on State-owned telephone monopolies. It's not very hard to track a user's internet usage, and a constant flow of encrypted traffic will prompt the local secret police for a visit.
The child pornographer, on the other hand, may choose from thousands of internet providers that are subject to minimal government control. The kiddie porn purveyor or organized criminal has ready access to technology and is protected by a strong tradition of civil rights.
Comparing a freenet page to a book published under a pen name doesn't hold water either. A freenet page essentially comes out of the ether -- other than an encryption key you have no idea how reliable the publisher is. With a book, there's a paper trail. (pardon the pun) A anonymous book published by Simon & Schuster would generally be held more credible than a book published by Paladin Press or some other less-than-reputable firm.
And as to me, I'm not really anonymous. I have a long posting history backed by hundreds of comments made over the last five years. My given name is Brian Duffy, if that makes you feel any better.
If there was widespread political oppression in the United States, Europe, Japan and Oceania, open forums like Slashdot or the internet would not exist period.
I'm not a "save the children" lunatic -- I'm just someone who can see through your transparent rationalization.
Guess what -- places like China and the Mideast will firewall and/or investigate Freenet users. It's pretty trivial for the local Secret Police to detect gobs of encrypted traffic from a particular person.
In the civilized world, if you are unwilling to have your speech attributed to you, you're not worth listening to.
There is zero advantage for anyone doing something legal to use freenet. You have no control of how long your files remain availble, no reliable way of searching for it and a small user community.
There are plenty of advantages for small niche communities like kiddie porn purveyors, organized crime/terrorists and software/music/video pirates.
Is a way to pirate software and distribute child porno.
While you can put public domain texts on freenet -- you can also do that on the web without any fear of persecution.
The only people with a real need to use an anonymous medium for communication are criminals and political dissidents. Since there isn't political oppression in most nations with unencumbered internet access, freenet will never be a repository of literature and information.
Tivoli Storage Manager is the only "backup solution" that I have ever seen that truly works well without alot of tweaking and twiddling.
I've worked at places using Legato and Amanda, where restoring from backup was an unreliable and error-prone process more likely to be a waste of time than anything else.
TSM is not cheap, but is worth every penny. We have one full time and one part time employee handle the backup/restore jobs for about 2000 servers. Try that with Legato or Amanda.
The problem isn't the card... its the monitor. If Windows defaulted at a high res/refresh rate that would toast someones ancient Packard-Bell moniton, Slashdot headlines would scream "MS Software destroys monitors!"
I've overlaid every major upgrade release on my personal machine since about v0.9.2 without incident.
Some of my coworkers have had issues with browser addons that required either hacking arcane files or reinstalling to fix. They chose the uninstall method. Be particularly careful with the "Mozilla Google toolbar" from www.mozdev.com.
I routinely use Mozilla for email and browsing (often with java) on a Pentium 3/500 with no problems. Actually, I have noticed the IE experiences all sorts of strange pauses.

If I have perl 5 code and years of experience writing it, what is going to make me want to re-code everything when all my old stuff works anyway?
perl 6 is a solution without a problem -- which is why commercial sponsors aren't sponsoring it.
if you can run ie in mozilla, fagboy, ie becomes the most common denominator.
If you just clone IE, what's the point of having Mozilla?
The whole point to mozilla is to compete with IE. They are producing a superior, standards complaint browser that will eventually force microsoft to clean up their act.
How is this going to happen? The core perl developers are broke and nobody is funding them!
Plus, Perl 6 is a totally new language. If I want to learn a new language, I'll bite the bullet and learn Python.

No shit.
"Alpha" releases are never ready for prime-time, hence the "Alpha" designation.

Depends on where you live.
In my town, a 75 year old woman was arrested for eating a peanut from the produce dep't without paying for it.
One peanut.
If you are not required to keep a time card, a consistent written journal would serve as sufficient documentation.

You are touting the P2P aspects of Freenet. P2P is the future of network communications for sure.
The anonymity of freenet is where the problem lies.

If you are collecting SSI, you are supposed to be disabled and unable to work.
If you are capable of managing a construction project and being a landlord, you are not disabled an unable to work.
Why don't you post your name so someone can turn you in for defrauding the social welfare system.
Fucking cheat.
You are suffering from hysteria.
Gypsum dust is produced when you are cutting plasterboard or mixing plaster. When it's up on your wall, it isn't releasing dust.
Nobody lines an interior wall with cedar - it's too hard to cut properly to use inside. Some people choose to use cedar for their outside siding.
Bricks are inert baked clay. Other than background radiation from the clay, it releases nothing.
