Everybody understand and know their own language perfectly. It may or may not coincide with standard English, or whatever the preferred variety of their native language is, but that's beside the point.
When I first came across wikis I thought that they'd be prone to vandalism, but it seems to work well. Anybody know why this is? Does all the good info get backed up? Are there full-time people who patrol it for trolls?
As long as there are more people willing to remove spam and roll back maliciously deleted pages than there are who try to spam and make nuisances of themselves, it will work.
Not really. You have to remember there is no god-given set of "human rights", it's a set of rules set up by a group of people. If those rules say you can't sell this and that software to nasties, then it's a violation of human rights to sell such software to nasties.
I can't, but I can imagine a lot of SCO employees may be a bit disgruntled over the fact that their owners are destroying the company, putting the employees jobs at risk, possibly damaging their street cred at the same time.
The language is, in many places, ambigouous and misleading. The concept of a derived work is not explicitly defined, nor has specific attention been paid to dynamic versus static linking.
The language is defined in copyright law and practice. If you think no specific attention has been paid to linking, where have you been the last 15 years?
The GPL has many bizarre concessions and terms, such as requiring those who distribute GPL software to distribute it by mail at anyone's request, charging only the cost of media.
Not to knock this impressive project, but I just have to say that when you find yourself putting together thousans of 1x1/1x2 pieces, you should ask yourself if there maybe isn't a better way.
This made me want to play around with a TRS-80 emulator. I can only find any such programs for Windows, though. Does anyone know of any emulators that works in Un*x?
To me, it seems like a far better idea to make the Hobbit without looking back at the LOTR film series, since that was how the books were made.
The books aren't very similar, so why should the films be?
Though it may be a good idea to cast Ian Holm as Bilbo, since Bilbo is kind of the only link between the two books. Gandalf on the other hand isn't much like himself from Bilbo when we see him in LOTR.
To me, the obvious reason for it is to stop Israel for using this to terrorise civilians, which is what they will undoubtedly do with it when it's finished.
Even if the development is just delayed for half a year or so, the perpetrators may have saved hundreds or even thousands of lives.

Very few authors manage without a day job, so that definition of "being worth it" isn't very realistic.
I'd say it is, since it's the norm for books and most newspapers.

One word: BeOS.
I don't know a "innermost workings". Wouldn't that be microcode, or something...
Well, this is pretty much like Hollywood 40 years ago, isn't it? That's why people like it.
Apparently Alan Tudyk, of Firefly fame, will be in it. Hopefully that will make up for casting Will Smith...
My bet is that Whedon's bean-spilling policy is because he actually has high hopes of making the movie.
The series rocks, btw. It's the only space-adventure show I've truly enjoyed except for Babylon 5.
To clarify, that's a /. error. There is no claim to origami on the actual web site.
Isn't there a Linux port under way? Has anyone tried that out and can share their experience?
I certainly do. Lapsang Souchong is the queen of teas. Earl Grey isn't even pure tea.

No, it does not.
Hey! You don't have to be a trekkie to learn Klingon. I don't appreciate Star Trek, but I find Klingon interesting in itself.

Why Earl Grey when you can go for a nice black cup of Lapsang Souchong?
I don't agree. The Hobbit is very different from LOTR, and it would be better to aproach it as a separate work.
Though I think Ian Holme as Bilbo might be a good idea.

Is this already the installer you get with Debian, or is it still in development.
I'm thinking of going back from Gentoo to Debian, but it seems sensible to wait until this new installer is deployed.
Farscape was a regular TV-series of four seasons.
