Huh? There are plenty of archive tools for windows that read gzip/bzip - and anyway, most users don't need to open XML archives. Programs for windows can load a lib just fine.
I have to applaud the gentoo maintainers of sys-kernel. They've been really rather good about adding security patches to older versions of kernels, then bumping the revisions up a number. And of course, even if they didn't, trivial patches are usually trivial to add - one extra line in the ebuild and an extra file in the files directory.
The AC is right. Deltas are what are important with currencies, not relative unit sizes. (well, deltas and how they reflect a whole complex mess of loans in the form of currency, bonds, stocks, confidence in a country, mortgages etc etc) If the USD and the INR stayed perpetually at a ratio of 1:44 what would matter is how much you can buy with that currency. If 1 USD will buy a loaf of bread, but 44 INR will buy the same loaf of bread, it makes no difference and the INR could not be considered "weak".
But yeah, there *are* economic gradients. If I moved from the area where I live (where a single bedroom apartment is between $1000-$1500 a month) to some other part of the U.S. where it is only $250, then sure I'd be saving money. Helluva commute though.
So, anyway. I totally agree that sending money will help. Just that it doesn't matter whether you send it in USD or INR - and if the INR is stable, who cares? What matters is where your particular area is in the economic gradients. Just like someone in a city in india probably has way more INR than someone in the country.
Glimpse and WebGlimpse have been around for ages. Obviously their strength is text, but glimpse supports passing files through arbitrary filters which can output text it can use for indexing. pdftotext for example, although one imagines extracting meaning from an mp3 would also be feasible. Both are fairly fast and have been around for ages.
Sounds like you'd really be happier with the complete suite. That way your irc:// links will work, your mailto: links...
For someone who depends on all the pieces with complete integration, what's wrong with just using the suite? (yes, I know someone will spout some B.S. about bloat. They use the Gecko base people! Odds are Mozilla will use *less* memory since the libraries are more likely to be shared while you just might have different Thunderbird/Firebird versions.
So, how does that hold up with the large number of private schools that take government money and have to meet certain educational criterion? I mean, I'm not happy about *any* of this as a Libertarian, but... Once you start taking the cash, hard to say no - something the States have already learned from the Feds.
That's just redundant backup systems for the genome. Once the bot gets those, we'll score 'em too:) Anyway, the argument was regarding the bot, not cockroaches.
ahhh, pedants. lets see now. 1 : to remain alive or in existence : live on 2 : to continue to function or prosper transitive senses 3 : to remain alive after the death of 4 : to continue to exist or live after 5 : to continue to function or prosper despite : WITHSTAND
1 - subject to debate on definition of "life" 2 - nope, melted no functioning 3 - see 1 4 - exist, well, materially it will have existed maybe, but most people don't consider the rubble of a building to survive an earthquake - ditto a melted circuitboard. 5 - no functioning.
Paid $89 for my Samsung ML-1710 laser personally. Tray fed, reliable, fast. Crisp pages. Sure it is only in black and white, but rarely need colour anyway, and I might buy a printer designed for photo quality prints for those few occasions.
Well, as a non-U.S. citizen working in D.C., I can assure you that cuts both ways. I get to pay for Social Security without the hope of getting any, get taxed without representation, and am also without hope of being trusted with any security clearance, not even one shared by hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people in this area.
Oh well, fortunately knowing what you're doing counts too.
I don't see what this has to do with the main point, but I'll play along. The IDs claim certain processes *require* design. Scientists point out they are explained quite well by natural processes. Occam's Razor wins. Yes, you could claim that at every step in the evolutionary process there are invisible fairy Monsanto geneticists, but that's a little stupid, neh?
In the case of selective breeding, that's equally amusing. Selective breeding is an evolutionary process! Humans are the environmental pressure, but the variations are being produced by nature. It is simply as if sheep were suddenly in an environment that strongly selected for docility and woolly coats.
Just because we are suddenly capable of building things that have had to, up until now, according to all evidence, been produced naturally does not suddenly invalidate the existing processes.
bzzt. ID is a codeword for creationism. It claims there are aspects of biology which cannot be explained through evolution, thus requiring... "intelligent design" This is different from theological schools that integrate god and evolution, of which you are presumably a proponent (as are most sane theologies).
Most arguments in ID nowdays center around the concept of "irreducibly complex" biological components. Some examples. The blood clotting cascade. The human eye. DNA replication.
Most of the time they argue this while blithely ignoring a myriad of simpler intermediate processes in nature (Darwin himself pointed out that if you look at snails alone you can see almost every form of eye from primitive light sensing cells up to a complex focusing lens like our own) as well as the fact that components that are mutually dependant now may have evolved so without having been so in the past (the blood clotting cascade in humans versus lobsters for example, evidence that simpler clotting mechanisms were refined, and the components becoming inextricably linked - like hummingbird beaks and deep-throated flowers).
In short, it is their usual lack of imagination combined with a poorly concealed agenda of creationism. One amusing thing is how they try to explain these "irreducibly complex" mechanisms in a biological framework. A primitive cell created by some being that had all these mechanisms they clcaim required design. The cell had templates for blood clotting, eyes... This massive cell then, presumably, differentiated into the current lifeforms who lost all this extra information.
With respect to Libya, if you're referring to the current administration claiming the Iraq war inspired Libyan government to try and rejoin the world community, in fact negotiations on that began in '99. They were tired of sanctions.
ActiveX works fine under Mozilla. It isn't enabled "out of the box" but that was a security decision that AOL could easily override with a minimum of tweaking.
Guess it depends what you mean by zero pollution.
Bio fuels have almost none of the sulpher in the fossil fuels, and close the carbon cycle. That's good enough for me.
The only problem up until now has been finding a cost-effective
solution.
Thanks. Actually, after I posted my mind was jogged. Remembered one post on the infamous bug #18574 regarding the fact that the libpng vulnerability could also be solved by deprecating it and having PNG be a subset of libmng.

Your point?
So they have to zip 'em, so what?
And of course, real web browsers support "deflate" for web content.
For intranet apps userbase doesn't matter. And there's an XUL parsing browser for all the major operating systems out there.
Was just saying, for an intranet, you might as well do a PHP/XUL thin client app.
You can do nifty things with that same tech in a cross-browser fashion.
If you're building intranet apps, might as well just use XUL.
