Try changing your EDITOR environment variable to something else than vim, then. Like pico. EDITOR controls your preferred editor, which apparently is not vim.
No job in America is safe from this destruction to the free market.
This must be the least insightful comment on globalization I've ever seen. What constitutes a free market seems... vague. Do you really have any proof that government intervention in Canada is any less than in Mexico?
Here's a mind bending newsflash for you: The difference between the countries you want to trade with and the ones you don't want to trade with is that the non-tradables are _poor_, while the tradables are _rich_. You don't want free markets. You want protectionism, where the rich world is allowed to keep its benefits by keeping the poor away through immoral trade barrier.
So it isn't the free market that is being destroyed in the US, it is the protectionistic privileges. That's the true essence of the free market: it makes sure that cheapest (per quality unit) is preferred. And it's no way the US can remain cheapest without dropping some of its (relative) riches.
I don't know where you ask, but I've done the same thing a lot of times without getting anything like that. An it's relevant to point out that if you're going to run PHP, Apache _is_ better than IIS.
And BTW: Windows installation of Apache, Apache/win32 installation of PHP, IIS installation of PHP and pretty much anything Samba is described extremely thoroughly in the installation documentation. When looking at support forums and mailing lists, I am really surprised to see how many questions which are answered _directly_ in the docs. And we're not talking about some obscure FAQ or mailing list archive, but bundled docs in nice HTML, often searchable on php.net or apache.org or whatever.
After writing the massive amount of documentation, I understand that the standard OSS developer doesn't care to answer the same questions in online forums.
(No offense BTW: There are obviously problems that go beyond documentation, and some projects have clearly lacking docs.)
It isn't a logical fallacy unless his premises are incorrect. You say they are, I bet the GP doesn't. His claim is that "products are hardly better than the last version". I agree that it's a subjective matter - mostly dependent on your definition of "hardly". But what constitutes the logical fallacy? And "100% false"? Propositions are either false or true, so anything but 100 % false would be surprising.
I'm happy we don't have any "-1 Logical fallacy", because people like you don't understand logic.
No. The standard error (SE) is sqrt((p(1-p))/n) = sqrt((0.67*0.33)/66) = 0,057879185. If we are aiming for our standard 95 % confidence, the margin of error is 1,96*SE = 0,11344.
It has a margin of error of 11 %, meaning that the true number is 67 % +- 11 % with 95 % confidence.
I don't know much about the methods and people behind this test, so it's hard to say what population this statistic is correct for:-)
I doubt the code says EIP.jumpTo(rand.newInt()). There is probably a way to foresee what address the EIP will pick, and that makes this potentially exploitable. But obviously it would be very, very difficult.

But 2003 is outdated now. Internet habits are vastly different now in 2006 here in Norway, and in that timeframe (3 years) ISDN came and went as the major way to provide internet. I imagine new things come and go even faster in an emerging market like Jordan.
I agree that OO.o's documentation is weak here, but after all the idea of having the page format under "Format" instead of "File" makes sense. A newbie to both systems would probably identify the OO.o way first. The conclusion is therefore somewhat dubious: Yes, OO.o is not exactly equal to Word, but apparently it's better designed (in this respect), but somewhat lacking on the documentation side. So, what to prefer? It seems to depend on whether you want Word-converts only, or will (in a while) start training newbies.

You know, GNOME hasn't really been developing for 1996 computers for quite some time. Fluxbox, icewm and the like are meant for people like you, who use obsolete hardware. Don't misunderstand me: I don't think using old hardware is wrong - I just don't think you can expect GNOME to target all possible desktops.
OTOH, GNOME works very nicely and swiftly on my 2002 computer. And I do personally believe - without having tested it - that 2.10 and 2.12 improved its speed.
Windows and WINE are both implementations of the Win32 API. So by that standard, Windows would also be an emulator. That certainly doesn't make sense. If you make a dish in the same way as a chef on TV, you would be the cook who made that dish, not a person emulating the cook who made the same dish somewhere else.
In Norway, the King asks the Prime Minister candidate of a given coalition to form a government. He then picks whoever he want, although the King has to agree with the PM's chosen disciples. These form the government (council of the State), which have weekly meetings lead by the King,
However, the King doesn't actually interfere at all in any of these matters. A majority faction emerges from the 6-8 different parties in the Parliament, or some minority coalition gets the needed support from some of the lesser parties. The parties generally position themselves before elections, so it's obvious who the King will ask. Exceptions can occur, however, as in Germany recently.
If the government loses a vote of confidence in the Parliament, the PM and all the ministers are thrown and the process starts from scratch. This is not explicit in the constitution, but has become law-like anyway. Furthermore, the government can threaten the parliament to resign if it doesn't bow to the goverments wishes (a "cabinet question"). This system works because every time a majority votes to throw the goverment, they have made sure to be able to present an alternative. To do otherwise would be true political suicide.
The split of power between the King (that is, the government), the Parliament and the Court of Law is generally not static. Much of today's law was created during a political crisis in the end of the 1800s, where the King refused to sign a bill coming from the Parliament. Today, it is acknowledged that the King only has a postponing veto, not an eternal one. In Norway, nothing can dissolve the Parliament (although this is a matter of discussion nowadays).
The distribution of seats in Parliament is made regionally in 19 regions. In each region there can be any number of party "lists". The party regionally elects the candidates on the lists. The voters can alter the list to some degree (promoting and striking candidates), and this affects the final order of the candidates. You need a certain number of signatures to run a list. The method for distributing seats is advanced, but not impossible to understand. Generally, it leads to a distribution of seats close to the overall percentage of a party with more than 4 % of the votes.
Because we all know the world is divided into rich countries, which would all benefit from a laptop-per-child-programme, and poor countries, which are all like rural Madagascar.
Economic status, OK. Social status? I doubt so. You'll always be the guy with the ad on your forehead, and no matter what you do you'll be considered a sell-out or a person without other means to get rich than selling your body.
If you study FSF's GPL howto, you'll notice how important it is that you first preserve your copyright of the code, then GPL it. This is to establish that you - the copyright holder - choose to do the GPL on your own rights. Notice how this only works because yo own the rights yourself.
You can obviously withdraw this later, but people who have used/copied/improved/whatever'd your code won't be forced to stop using it. This is specifically stated in the GPL. But I can take what I own the copyright for, and release that (or a derivate) under a different (non-GPL-compliant) license.
So the licensor is obviously not bound by his own rules. He defines the rules, because he is the licensor. The code he has released can't be recalled to his command, but he can do what he wants with his own copy. Contributions to a GPL project is often copyright-transferred to the project maintainer, which would make the above apply to them as well. If not, individual agreements would have to be made if Nessus wants to bring them into v3.
Seriously, get a grip. When she wrote what she did, on a Geocities homepage, clearly marked as written by herself, clearly with a journalistic attitude, and without any claim that you are an omniscient creature, you obviously write your own opinions (suspicions). A homepage is a place of opinion. Unless her claims are outright lies and constructed evidence against the company, her freedom of speech clearly entitles her to report what she has seen and comment on it on her own homepage.
I really thought americans would be clear on this. I'm from Europe, and this seems completely obvious to me.

I'll bite. A little enlightenment on vim can't hurt.
instead of being able to undo the undo you just accidentally undid
Well, almost every text editor and word processor in the world has this. The command for 'redo' (undo the undone) is :red or CTRL+R.
vim can be a real surprise when it drops you somewhere into the middle of a file
set viminfo='0 in .vimrc.
And colorized editing!?!
I'd appreciate a "strict vi mode" command
vim -v

Uhm, have you looked into this checkbox labeled "search subfolders"?
3rd world countries will be able to "grow" a very essential component of fuel.
