This is not true -- the expectation of behavior in private establishments open to the public is already established in case law and there is absolutely NO legal recourse that enables circuit city to force the customer to produe his receipt. I don't know why you continue insisting along the lines of your wacko theory that people should just do what they're told.
Plus, he was arrested OUTSIDE circuit city, so there goes your theory.
RSS does not mean non-shared you ignorant prick. It means Resident Set Size which is the amount of RAM that is actually resident on PHYSICAL RAM instead of in need to be paged in.
MOC is a kludge whose pain you don't feel. Trust me, all build systems work with it just fine. It was a good invention that enabled C++ to not mongle so much cock (despite being the best tech available when KDE appeared).
Well, I must say... I sometimes have this weird issue when I click on a link in Konqueror and rapidly move my mouse after releasing the button, that sometimes causes the X server to just swallow the pointer and never let go again. This sucks big time and it only happens with KDE.
And the other complaint is that konqueror's icon view is really flickery when loading large folders (I tested dolphin from KDE4 and the problem is GONE), and you must wait till the entire folder is loaded to use typeahead find for finding and selecting a file. Not a huge deal, but very annoying when you type 90 words a minute and you want to get to the target folder fast. Oh and the very big beef about Konqueror not working properly with WordPRess NOT RENDERING Web pages until every single bit and image has been loaded -- very annoying that incremental rendering in Konqueror is so fucked up; and even if you hit Escape, a blank screen is left staring at you. For me as a blogger it really posts a HUGE disadvantage when I want to blog something quickly -- it's faster to actually open Firefox and load my blog post page than to wait for the blog post page to render in Konq.
Other than that, the feature set of KDE is invaluable (fuck, keybindings rule, their amazing configurability as well, konq's split views accessible with hotkeys make managing files BRUTALLY fast, network transparency is a must in my line of work, and Amarok knocks me off my shoes every time I use it), and that's why I abandoned GNOME. I still use Evolution because it basically manages my 2 GB of e-mail just fine and because it syncs up with my palm TX like a charm, versus the entire Kontact suite which is still quirky and whose interface looks EXTREMELY busy. But at some point when these issues are fixed I plan to take the plunge and move to Kontact.
It's the simple fact that, even with the showstoppers outlined above, with KDE I can do more, and do it faster. It's as plain as that.
X Server crash: back to logon screen, or sometimes the mouse refuses to work. Desktop environment application crash: crippled desktop, other stuff still works. Linux Kernel crash: dead mouse pointer, dead numlock key, sometimes keyboard lights blink.
I've had them all. Fortunately not with my new machine.
Sorry, but the Constitution does not say "life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and guaranteed profits". It only mentions the three first rights.
I am fucking tired of tards saying that the recording labels deserve their profits. They do not, they never have, and they have colluded to make everyone think they do. Fuck.
Convenient that you use the word "stealing" when none such thing takes place while one downloads music -- change the word and you will see your analogy fall to the ground. Stealing requires as a precondition that you no longer have any use for what I took -- because you don't have it: that is the real harm of stealing and without it, the concept of "stealing" vanishes. See you used the word "taking"? Downloading is NOT taking because the original copy remains and still has plenty uses. Period.
That the distributors have the sole right to distribute the music doesn't make it right or fair. In other words -- something holding status quo does not necessarily make it right.
Why do I get the idea that, ever since Slashdot covered the FAUX "investigative" report,/b/tards have been lurking and occassionally partaking in Slashdot conversations?
I dunno if that's good or bad, but a lot of comments crack me up now. Welcome, anon.
Conservative and religious fears have been documented in the past. Jack up the fear factor of bunnies enough, and you can get a conservative to vote for banning all rodents any day.
Obviously, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes is a moron who has never read the EULA on his Microsoft Windows copy. And he could just go to Fluendo and get the codecs legally.
But no, he has to rant. The only explanation I can conjure is that he is an imbecile.
That's not true. I developed python-inotify, and this was impossible due to race conditions. Fast directory creation followed by removal would cause my library and the kernel not to agree on what was being watched AT ALL.
Plus you're limited to 4000 watches per process. Amarok just gives up on my music collection exactly for this. And Beagle too. They spend countless cycles adding watches that take PRECIOUS kernel memory only to give the ghost when they quickly reach their limit.
Non-recursive watch notification was the stupidest idea behind inotify.
Screw you man, I did these changes and my machine died. I had to chvt 1 and then log in then kill the program manually. I guess the scheduler I'm running isn't that good.
My machine started this program and laughed its two cores off, 199% CPU usage, and the machien was COMPLETELY RESPONSIVE. Didn't even flinch.
Of course, I have a Dell PowerEdge SC1425 as my *desktop* machine, so I guess your mileage may vary.
Truly, what makes Linux stall is NOT CPU consumption, but disk starvation. The "Userspace braindead" talk that mingo (I think) gave around the world was a fine example of the amount of shit userspace does... it's no wonder, evidently, that the disks on my machine are continually starved. Every time my machine flinches, it's because it's reading from DISK. Amarok is one of the culprits in this regard.

So what's your point? With a gold standard currency system, the money in checking and savings accounts is all backed by existing gold.
The Fed just lends the money to the Gov't. Since it's so easy to overborrow when money isn't backed by a commodity, you get inflation. See?
It sounds absolutely reasonable to me. Read Confessions of an economic hit man to get the whole story.
But the difference between gold and fiat currency is that no one can print gold, debasing the economy as they go on.

To remove the stoopid from your brain.
Of course it didn't work proplerly. Nixon spent all the gold!

Piping is useful because it lets you do useful shit. If you knew what you could accomplish with piping, you wouldn't be asking.
Since my story didn't get posted, I'll just paste its text here ;-)
"Hours ago, Google announced the launch of AdSense for Mobile, an advertising service in its own class, targeted to mobile users. I took it upon myself to write up a cursory look into the implications of this new class of service, asking myself if it will change the Web advertising landscape."

Obvious news is obvious.
Fire.
The U.S. bill of rights was an anonymous document at some point.
