Isn't that like the Iranian government saying that the U.S. Congress is more corrupt than they because we air all our disagreements and debate on TV?
I mean, when was the last time we heard a debate amongst the Iranian leaders, the likes of what we see on C-SPAN? Does that mean their system is less volitile than our republic?
Full disclosure is vital to the security of open systems.
The only outside connection my linux box has is a floppy drive and a network connection. No CD-rom to boot off of.
I may just bite the bullet and get a cd drive, though. I'm only against the idea because I never use the cd drive to introduce media to my linux boxes, and I'm trying to prove to my wife how little I can spend to build a useable workstation.
I guess I should have clarified. I was using Fedora Core 1.
They may have fixed this in a later version, but I install using a floppy and http install, and the Fedora Core 2 Test 1 didn't have a network boot floppy on the image.
I was upset that the system pointed to download.redhat.com for updates, which is constantly being hammered. I would get 9k/sec if I was lucky, and the download was constantly freezing.
However, in looking through the messages, I found that there is a document on how to use mirror servers as a source for updates. I'm surprised that Fedora doesn't have a system for balancing clients to different mirror servers, a la Gentoo, but now that I've picked a few mirrors, things have been a lot smoother.
Well lets see. To recoup this fine, Microsoft would have to sell 3,424,581 xboxes, 3,065,000 copies of windows xp home edition, or 1,228,456 copies of office. Yep, doesn't sound like peanuts to me. I doubt microsoft nets much more than than in an entire year, maybe less.
According to the BBC, the file is equal to 5% of their 2003 income...
I was interested the $3 million figure being thrown around, wondering where the number came from, and whether he actually charged the credit cards. However, the number comes from the cost to the credit card companies for closing the compromised accounts and reissuing new cards.
Now I need to type a lot of inane information, because the lameness filters are unintelligent. Perhaps I should phrase it this way: "Could it be that you are recalling, in an imperfect way, the excellent sci-fi thriller, The Sixth Day?"
Customer : I should be able to rip music off the CD I just purchased for my own personal use without having to pay for a new "license". I bought this CD with the understand that I was purchasing the music for my personal use, and don't need to purchase a license for each new copy.
Record Labels : No way... just because you bought the CD does not give you the right to all the contents to do with as you wish. However, just to be nice, we will give you a low-quality, non-transferable rip of the song.
Artists : Wait... aren't you making another copy of the song? Since are selling two different copies of the song for every CD you sell, we're going to charge you twice the royalty.
Record Labels : No, we purchased the song from you for a particular customer, not for an individual copy of the song. As long as a single customer uses the song, we can do whatever we want with it.
But that's biased against people who are illiterate, non-english reading, or idiots.
I worked as a judge of elections, and the laws state that unless you've convicted a felony, as long as your registered, you have the _right_ to vote, no matter how retarded you happen to be... thank you 14th amendment.
According to about.com, "If you are denied a security clearance, or an assignment to a sensitive position or a position of trust, or your current clearance or access is revoked, you have the right to appeal the adjudicative decision. Under such circumstances you will be provided a statement on the reason(s) why you are ineligible for the clearance and the procedures for filing an appeal. If you believe the information gathered about you during the investigation is misleading or inaccurate, you will be given the opportunity to correct or clarify the situation."
While I can see (and would welcome) PNG replacing GIF, I don't think it's in a position to replace JPG. PNG doesn't do lossy compression, dithering, etc., which JPG does well.
New Zealand will be following up their success on Campbell Island by attempting to eradicate the European homo sapiens who have have been severely detrimental to the native population in North America.
The European homo sapiens was brought to North American on sailing ships, and immediately begin to wipe out the native species, bringing them to the edge of extinction. The populatation of the European species has been stable on it's native habitat, due to self-policing of their population levels, and their odd habit of killing each other.
It's expected to take many years for the native species to recover.
Perhaps you're trolling, but it might help if you offer some suggestions. What printer manufacturers don't use this business model? I would be perfectly willing to purchase from a manufacturer from the light side, if I knew who they were.

Thanks for the info, though...

BBC article on Grey's conviction.

Hmmm... sounds like someone got rejected.
Seriously, though, I joined Mensa just so I could say Mensa is for losers and not sound like I was shouting sour grapes.
Of course, now that I'm in, there are always greater heights to achieve.
I wonder if this at all affects the cover of Nirvana's Nevermind album.
So, can someone write a patch to make IE properly support PNGs?
ICQ is the same way, if I recall correctly.

No, He didn't.

Had to rebuild the tables from scratch...
FYI, if you're denied a security clearance, you have the right to appeal. The Defense Office of Hearings and Appeals takes care of this.
According to about.com, "If you are denied a security clearance, or an assignment to a sensitive position or a position of trust, or your current clearance or access is revoked, you have the right to appeal the adjudicative decision. Under such circumstances you will be provided a statement on the reason(s) why you are ineligible for the clearance and the procedures for filing an appeal.

Oh, and first post.
Any ideas?
They need to pick a name like "||gazm", "JizMop", or "Mozilla" like all the other cool OS projects. I'm sure they'll learn their lesson soon.
Gotta love Gentoo ;-)
