What if AOL made an announcement in advance (perhaps as far as 6 months to a year) that they would be switching to Netscape, and that they would be making Netscape as w3-compliant as possible.
This would force web developers to choose between AOL compliance (and therefore w3-compliance) or MS compliance... eventually, if AOL compliance was the majority choice, MS would have to modify IE to be (more) w3-compliant -- they would essentially have lost their ability to set false standards.
Yes, the proposed situation would be an idealist solution (for the community), but I don't think anyone can justifiably say that it is not possible (though perhaps not probable).
A movie that should have little or nothing to do with the real world.
Episodes 4, 5, and 6 made refernces to WWII - particularly comparing the Dark Side to Nazi Germany (Nazi Storm Troopers, Palpatine as Hitler, etc.).
Also, the first three episodes seem to have some Biblical undertones (Anakin telling his mother that he will come back to "free the slaves" - al la Moses).
So, Star Wars is not totally without reference to the "real world," and Lucas would not have been setting a precedent in the series to make references to 9/11 (and I do not think individual who posted the comment that initiated this thread was implying that he should have done so) - I, however, am glad that he did not.
Not to be sarcastic, but is the submitter of the original story not familiar with a narrative device called a flashback? Just because they're in a picture of the episode, does not mean they're still alive.
Read the original post. I do not believe the "submitter" said anything about them being alive...
Uh, the emphasis there was on the "anyone," methinks. As opposed to, "people who already have Debian installed."
My apologies - I was solely taking into consideration the fact that everyone who is anyone should already have Debian installed (unless they are using FreeBSD, of course).

It's really quite an old tactic...

"Maybe this is why we need the new Debian. So that anyone can try and Install Debian with little fuss...
/etc/apt/sources.list file to be able to access packages in testing:
Last time I check, "trying and installing" -the "new version," nonetheless - of Debian GNU/Linux was as easy as this:
If you are using APT, you can use the following lines in your
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian testing main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US testing/non-US main contrib non-free
Read the apt-get(8) and the sources.list(5) manual pages for more information.
#apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
