Following common protocols and standards is a good idea and gets plenty of noisy support on Slashdot.
Why, then, is a uniform driver license considered bad?
For a long time one could not fly without a driver license, passport, or other "government issued" photo id -- something I personally resented greatly even during the "happy" Clinton era.
Invasive of privacy? Hardly any more than the current license. What's the big deal? Can't even blame it on a particular "special interest"...

Well, if you want to conflate a "Bush" gag with a systematic invasion of privacy and character assassination, sure.
Whoopi's attack was not even on the President's character. Merely on his last name. Let me re-write your highly acclaimed post so that you can simply send it to patridiots.com without any editing:
It's not censorship, you morons. No business, magazine or website is morally, legally or ethically obliged to publish anything, by anybody. Especially considering Whoopi will expect them to pay her.
If Whoopi wishes to continue to spout her drivel, there are roughly 27 trillion channels remaining open to her.
How about it?
The problem I had with SlimFast's response was it was vastly disproportionate to the whatever offence Goldberg may have caused
So, yanking one of the many endorsement contracts from a millionaire Hollywood star for a distasteful case of last name assasination, is worse than depriving a journalist from her primary (probably only) source of income for character assasination?
Can you not see, that your sense of "proportion" is heavily biased by your agreement with Whoopi and disagreement with Maureen?
I happen to disagree with both, so I can see right through your rhetoric:-)
Also, I don't know what's the status of FreeBSD on AMD64, ie if the kernel lets you use 32 bit code easily or not. If you can't drop a "normal" 32 bit app/libs and have it work, tough luck.
It can run FreeBSD/i386 binaries and Linux/i386 binaries.
I'm more interested in Windows/64 binaries -- there is no real reason, WINE should not be able to run them (the Word-viewer is a particularly useful "little" utility), but I'm sure, it will not for a long time...
There is no difference. The extrapolation from actual voters to eligible electorate is perfectly valid, comforting as it may be for the losers to hope for there being some statistically significant "hidden reserves".
Especially this time around the voting crowd was quite diverse and the preelection vote-encouraging rhetoric more shrieking, with the "Choose or Lose" of the past replaced by the pompous "Vote or Die".
You realise the exact same post could have been made for why not to develop Linux.
Linux does not require $1mln to get bootsrapped... (That said, IMO, it should not, indeed, have been developed -- BSD did and continues to offer a superior solution:-) But that's a different topic.)
so move over and let fresh blood through who are willing to babysit a new product and idea.
What the call "ANSI" is bad, bad mojo that bears all marks of intentional sabotage.
One does not need to "intentionally" sabotage even. Just treat it as "low priority" (which is justified) and assign a rookie programmer to implement it... Then keep treating bug-reports on the feature as "low priority" too.
Works in other walks of life too, BTW.
Unless there is a clear monetary insentive to it, it will not be done properly. The "command and control" methods are not very effective.
And even the facts cited by zogger, which they implied showed that the PNAC Bushites caused the event, are actual facts
Nope, zogger did not "imply". Zogger was quite explicit:
It got ordered to "fail" is what really happened.
and:
This is a coup, just accept reality.
You agree with zogger and blast everybody, who disagrees as "zombies", who use "rhetorics" against "facts".
There is nothing wrong in using rhetorics against conclusions made from the established facts. But your raging against ccmay (and a host of others) for doing so, means, that you actually agree with zogger, that neocons' involvement in 9/11 is a fact -- not merely a theory.
It is not all lost, though. You can still post a follow-up to your highly-rated post stating something to the effect:
"It seems, my words were mis-interpreted (by lying fascists) and I need to clarify my position. Neocons' involvement in organizing 9/11 is merely a prevailing (among me) theory, but not an established fact."
It is less efficient/more expensive to deliver electricity to your house, than the oil (or gas) needed to generate the same amount of heat. (That is even if you completely ignore the waste of energy by the air-pushing fans.)
This is why electrical heaters, stoves, driers, tea-pots are the most expensive of all, although favored for convenience and flexibility.
If we waited several months after any repeat sex offender did some evil deed to a kid before we did anything about it, we'd never do anything about it.
I'm not at all suggesting we don't do anything. The scumbags should be pursued and prosecuted as per the laws already on the books. But no new laws should be considered on the subject until after a cool-down period.
This is more of a steady boiling issue, not a flare-up.
Of course it is a flare-up of passions after the death of the young girl in Florida at the hands of her former sex-offender neighbor.
Not that his history was a secret to anyone, especially to the girl's mother. And not that knowing, where he is at all times would've helped prevent the crime, which happened next to his house.
But your kind of electorate demands action -- with no freedom limitation too Draconian -- and the lower quality politicians are eager to deliver...
As smart people don't shop for food while hungry, responsible legislations should institute a rule, preventing them from considering any new laws until after several months since the crime, the repetition of which the new law is intended to prevent/deter, took place.
Try getting off the beaten path of American success that you have apparently followed: any dirt road in Mississippi (or within a 400 mile radius) will probably do.
And yet their welfare checks are a FORTUNE by the standards of countless millions of the world's truly poor. Combined with the opportunities these people have by the simple virtue of being American Citizens, calling them poor is foolish.
without the baggage of generations of disadvantaged family?
Interesting. So first you blame "Bush's America" for "poverty and rapid decline", and than it turns out, it is the "baggage of generations of disadvantaged family", that is responsible...:-)
"[t]hat neocons organized 9/11 to advance their agenda", that I never stated
Really? Never? How about in here, when you call ccmay "a zombie" for ridiculing zogger's claim:
Funny how all the "planes off course" years previous all had fighters on their ass within 10 minutes, but on 9-11 "the system failed". Uh huh, sure it did. It got ordered to "fail" is what really happened.
You did not just call ccmay "a zombie" -- you also called zogger's conspiracy theory a "fact" in your post:
you can't dispute the facts, or the simple logic
.
And now you lie, that "you never stated" it -- which facts were you talking about then? Oops...
Go back to your rent-controlled appartment and stay quiet until the next year's May 1st...

Already a cop in California can check a New Hampshire license from his cruiser -- and check for any arrest warrants too...
What else?

Well, just last year the thing was called Censorship by some very progressive people...
I doubt, many benchmarkers will bother turning these off on their systems and recompiling libthr/libc_r ...
Exactly. Hence the Subject of this whole thread :-)

Plus the recently unclassified (and popularized) help on de/encryption and other intelligence cooperation.
At least 51% of Americans don't attach this string...Will Wine be able to run 64-bit Windows programs on FreeBSD or Linux amd64? Not any time soon...
Running 32-bit Windows programs on a 64-bit Unix? Forget it...
It seems, the sophistication of the commercial offerings is rather substantial. True, Xorg/XFree86 are usually unable to take full advantage of it.
But will the new cards not be hardware-limited to what the commercial ones can already do even with the incomplete drivers?
Works in other walks of life too, BTW.
Unless there is a clear monetary insentive to it, it will not be done properly. The "command and control" methods are not very effective.
You know, this makes it all worth it :-)
