Lol! I know Sawfish starts out with less memory usage, but after a while, it will tend to eat all your swap. Beware of the memory leaks! E doesn't leak like that (not in the latest 0.16)
Hrmn, only burnt one coaster? I've burnt quite a bit more, but they were all my fault: if the ISO is set up correctly (hah!) then I never make a single coaster. And this is on BeOS, where I don't even get to set the priority of cdrecord. And I've got an off-brand CDR drive.
You, my friend, are not an idiot on your own. Console yourself with the fact that your lack of concern for society is indiciative of a long social decay which we are in the midst of.
Only because you are afraid of him and do not trust him.
No kidding. With the US having a population of 250 million nitwits, who wants the Libretarian party in power?
Society based upon people having the best interest of society at heart can only succeed when people are enlightened individuals. Propaganda destroys libretarianism, so let's destroy propaganda! Anarchists of the world, unite!
Stage N of the decline and fall of a modern society: It fails to propogate the mechanisms that keep the society alive, such as voting and the family structure.
Stage N+1 of the decline and fall of a modern society: Those that control public opinion, such as the propaganda, err, enertainment (ugh) industry pay off the politicians and placate the people.
Stage N+2 of the decline and fall of a modern society: Society is restructured with those who control public opinion (the TV) at the centerpiece. Propogation of "enertainment" values becomes vital to most people.
At this point, the society bears little resemblance to what it was before, so the original society can be said to be dead. These stages do overlap, and we're already partway down stages N+1 and N+2.
Societal advancement? LOL! We've gone far past the point of "societal advancement", execept for advancing towards the TV.
Face it: The US of history is dead-or-dying. Neither Bush nor Gore will make a dent in that. To reapply what Asimov said about the falling Galactic Empire: In times of strong presidents, the legislative branch simply deadlocks with the president, and stagnation furthers. In times of weak presidents, the legislature is overwhelmed with petty lawmakers with visions of glory, and stagnation furthers.
Well, I don't like either the government or people as of late. But then again, I'm an extreme radical, so please kindly disregard me!
Basically, if a new government were formed upon the basis of libretarianism, it would ultimately fail when mass propaganda, err, media were introduced. Stupid people do not deserve and a libretarian govt, and vice versa.
Tell your boss you're taking the day off to vote. Then, spend the day with a copy of "Walden" (and other major political-philosophical works) and contemplate the political system. Then, write about how you feel.
Vote Libertarian! The choice that makes the success of the govt. depend upon the large groups of stupid people in the US suddenly having society's best interest at heart (or having their self-interest coincide with the interest of society).
If you are an activist most of the year, then that's a valid point. However, if you're an armchair anarchist, then that's simply equivalent to saying "I don't care".
What about those of us who believe that nationalism is wrong?
...employees of backbone service providers? If you send an email badmouthing your boss (you work at, say Sprint or MCI) and it travels through a Sprint or MCI portion of the backbone, even if you sent it from another provider, can they then still read your email, because you work for Sprint or MCI?
Yes, but (on your break) do you use company equipment to send email? Is it not their perogative to monitor any usage of equipment they own? Go take a walk to the local library and then send your email, okay?
It's good that this was posted on slashdot. It's simply exemplifying a larger trend. It does not start a trend, and it does not (in and of itself) mean anything. It's comparitively insignificant.
The important thing is not, however, that this was posted on slashdot. That's completely unimportant, and has no measurable effect on the world. Our effort falls within the realm of statistical error. The important thing is that there is a larger trend, which this is a small and completly worthless piece of.
Of course, all trends are composed of small and worthless pieces. That's why we need to delude people into thinking that their little movement does matter, right?
Civilisation: The process of deluding large groups of people into believing that they, as individuals, make a difference.
The American form is the most intriuging: Every four years, we go off and participate in the largest demonstration of mass psychology ever been attempted, and then spend the next four years thinking that individuals make a difference in the world.
Except, of course, I shouldn't be saying this: It's necessary to maintain the delusion in order to keep the people working in society, right?
If you suspect that, go get Open Motif (Connectiva is RPM, so try Metro Link's packages, which work great for me!). However, Flash for Linux is likely statically linked to Motif, because they don't expect everybody to have a copy of "Real OSF/Motif" (Lesstif just doesn't cut it when they use obscure portions of the API, as they might).
You gotta figure that all that EM radiation would degrade your DSL performance, right? All I know is that my network goes spaz when I'm putting out 100 watts....

But, then again, you knew that, right?

Yeah, which Java? Java the language? Java the security model? Java the Virtual Machine? Help me out here.

Even if you do these things, there are a thousand times as many people who don't. Individual rights mean nothing in an age of propaganda.

I nod my head in respect to you. That was laugh-out-loud excellent.
I think that most of the Socalists are actually going behind the Green party, as they've semi-united behind the Green movement in Europe.

There is an option like that. However, they've adopted the wording "Ralph Nader" instead of "Abstain".

BeIA is simply a better tech than QNX.
You can see that here.
