I'm from Indonesia as well, and can read it just fine. But I lived 4 years in Australia and read/. a lot (which is more or less english). Is she a geek? Maybe the way geek brains operate make it easier to process garbled data.
Unfortunately Eskimos/islander would probably be way too different to city humans, I wager they'd be healthier because they have a better environment and they don't sit in a car/on a chair in front of a computer all day, but instead move a lot, their diet would be different as well.
9. Some fed folks carry out investigation, and dump them in prison!!! (wishful thinking)
Come to think of it, I wonder what sort of press release they'll be having when they declare bankcruptcy? They'll probably say stupid Linux stole their IP and made them go bust. I look forward to Linus saying, "have a nice death" or something politically inccorect. Although, the execs will certainly be having it nice, if they get away with it.

Let's equate State to Homeland and Committee to Department, what do you get?
Yes I realise this bill is happening in the UK not the US, but who was it that commented "I wouldn't be surprised if Blair started a speech by saying 'My fellow Americans...'."
Don't know a lot about CryptoAPI, but I assume you can still plainly see how many partitions the disk has. Rubberhose scatters its "segments" ("partitions") inside the disk/partition, so that no one knows how many partitions there really is in there.
They should start using Rubberhose. Basically, you have a partition that looks like it's filled with random data, but give a password, and you see some files, give another password, and there are other files, and so on, but the KGB agents won't know if there's still another cache of data hidden in there or if that really was all of it, and the rest is really just garbage.
What about South Africa? Don't know much about it though.
There are also "minor" English speaking countries like Singapore and Hongkong (although I believe Singaporeans speak better English than HK'ers), they have pretty high standard of living (and great food), though risks like SARS make them less desirable places.
Nevertheless, a GUI can make life simpler, even when rescuing.
Knoppix does offer a failsafe boot option in case its fancy hardware detection program doesn't work, as well as the option to not start X, i.e. stay at the console. The fact that its CD-ROM based also means it can fit in a more rescue tools in comparison to 1.44 MB disks.
It's interesting that we now learn, that the US is actually the evil one. I feel like a Storm Trooper in Star Wars, dumb and conditioned to believe those "rebels" are evil and that I should hate them. Bush was in fact just following tradition as a US President I guess, too bad he can't send the world into nuclear winter, or maybe that's coming soon when he restarts a pissing contest with North Korea. Hey, there's some fuckin' WMD, what about them North Koreans, Mr. Bush? Aren't you going to bomb them? You won't need to spend $ X + 87 x 10^9 afterwards either, no oil pipeline to build!
I wonder if they have thought about using Lithium ion batteries. Well I know of at least one Logitech mouse that you place on the receiver/recharger unit when you're done for the day, I guess that one needed a lot of juice. Mine eats AAAs like crazy, but luckily I have rechargable batteries. My Logitech keyboard is another story though, it can last 4 months on a set of AAs, I guess that shows I don't use it that much.
I must have missed that, what was the reason? Nevertheless, it was still poorly done, I doubt anyone paid full attention to the 10 minute fight scene, it was so boring, Neo just hitting the Agent Smiths one after the other. If it were a Jackie Chan fight scene, the eyes of the audience would be glued to the screen for the entire 10 minutes, because he jumps all over the place unpredictably and excitingly. But it wouldn't have fit into Reloaded.
Well, online sites like CDnow, Amazon and iTunes do offer 30 second preview clips, so I guess they're allowed? But perhaps only as promotional material? Not sure. Who wants to go and ask the RIAA?;-)
A sporadically connecting (and constantly moving) p2p client that is only sharing fragments of files is not really an entity that you can easily track. In addition, since the files on any individual client change often, or are (most often) unshared the second they finish downloading, it is almost 100 percent certain that "copyrighted works" (as well-formed files) are not shared by more than a small percentage of users, except perhaps accidentally.
Gee, that gives me an idea... what about a P2P app that only gives downloaders access to a part of the file, while making sure another peer elsewhere share the other parts. The client downloads and merges them automatically, of course, but the shares are never, at any time, providing access to a complete file. Coordinating who shares what might be difficult, maybe those with odd-numbered IP get to share parts 1 and 3, and the even-numbered share part 2 and 4 from a file chopped up into 4 bits? I wonder how lawsuit-proof this idea would be.;-)
It's innovative because it's an idea implemented on Linux, whereas when it's to be implemented on Windows it's, a lousy idea (well, lousy because of 3rd party compatibility nightmares).
Interestingly, some archeologists claim the Tower of Babel did get built, and some other researchers use this fact of disrepancy to claim that the bible is not really a correct retelling of what happened in the world, but that some parts of it are fantasies, ideas written down by people who were opressed but dreamed their folk ruled the world and had big kingdoms.
Ah yes, milk the moneycow till it drops dead. I'm sure Peter Jackson is not George Lucas, and the guilty party here is the New Line execs, but I hope it won't over-expose people to LotR. The title of the/. article had me expecting that they were going to release a 10 hour film, but I guess that would be too long, and the movies would make less profit. Instead they can make a 3 movie marathon and have everybody pay 3 times as much!
Will Warner Bros. be doing the same for the Matrix Trilogy?

Fix Or Repair Daily describes Windows nicely. :)
R can also be "Reboot".

That was him, right. :) Thanks.

What else is there?
How about Darl McBride's skull, and those from other SCO execs?
:)
And if you run GNU/Linux on them, then it would be an interpretation of "Linux is our intellectual property!" blather they've been puking out..
So who wants to come head-hunting at SCO?

Wasn't just some little company, it was .. it doesn't look to be going anywhere though. :)

Yeah, they're scum, even Microsoft doesn't like them. OTOH, maybe their latest press release is an attempt to win Gates's heart (==money).
Forget Half-Life 2, will it run Doom 3?!?

I thought you were going to say they weren't real journalists, but instead propagandaists.

Maybe he wasn't thinking "Global" anymore, but "Universal" instead. :)

Haha, if that is true, it would be the most fun slashdotting of a server!
