Um. Not that I'm doubting you but... What exploit in mozilla? Mozilla uses libpr0n, and this is the first I've heard of any such libpr0n vulnerability. I mean, there *was* a recent one about a GTK vulnerability which would affect Gecko browsers using GTK, but that was only in chrome. That'd require you to, oh, install a theme to get hacked, and if you're installing a bunch of stuff to your HD anyway, seems an image exploit is rather the long way to go about it.
"Recognizing that abortion is a very sensitive issue and that people, including libertarians, can hold good-faith views on both sides"
This is a completely different issue from the debate over the ethics of abortion. They are noting that the issue is not as simplistic as you make it out to be. I'd recommend reading the party platform.
I'm not going to be drawn into an interminable debate over abortion - consciousness, potentiality, nature of humanity etc. However, your straw man about murder is just that. And really, there is not much more to be said.
This is the current version of the party platform on abortion. Basically, the party doesn't advocate banning it, but they don't advocate government funding. But then, the LP rarely advocates government funding of *anything*.
Speed has never been what attracted me to gentoo. Configurability, the easy generation of ebuilds (often just copying the ebuild text file to a new version name suffices), not to mention simplicity of tweaking a tar.gz myself or adding a patch file - everything I got out of building myself, but with package management system to keep track of what gets installed.
Then of course there's getting me out of binary dependancy hell for which I'm quite grateful, and there's always revdep-rebuild if some interaction gets lost (due usually to my having done a restricted update, but...).
As for the features, I agree. Adding the patches to Gentoo will be trivial. And Gentoo has had things like prelinking for ages - not to mention parallel startup and fancy gcc options.
But I've never seen the linux distro game as that competitive, looks like this one will serve a different market, offering a fully integrated, if less flexible, distro tweaked for speed. Each distro has its uses. I use Knoppix and Fedora at times, even if every machine at home runs Gentoo.
I doubt there are many people who are purely anti-war. The LP holds to defensive wars with the approval of Congress. Most Libertarians I know are fans of the Zero Aggression Principle which is a close parallel too. No situation is clear cut, but there aren't many who try the convoluted logic that turns the latest Iraq war into a defensive action. (well, the Republicrats do, and to some extent Kerry tries the same)
Oh please. The embarassing press release for research that turns out to be wrong or difficult to replicate is a common phenomena. It is embarassing for the researchers and often the university or company that pushed for the release, but hardly an attack on the peer review process. If you read the actual article, you'll see the researchers working on this effect are working with Fleischmann. And the experiments they are doing are repeating his original work, homing in on what is required to repeat the effect.
Sure the whole thing was big 'ol fiasco, but I hope Pons and Fleischmann get full credit if this research turns up something real.

I'd like to see *that* repeated. Fact is my car is suppoed to achieve 35 on their test track, and I routinely do better than that, even with a fully loaded car.
Lot of factors that result in unusual speeds. Wind, pump precision, terrain...
But the idea of everyone moving 55 I find quite amusing. I've often toyed with the idea of start a protest of "civil obedience" where people would obey *every* traffic law (proper number of car lengths driving no more than the speed limit, slowing down if someone cuts into that space, etc). Ah, the chaos that would result...
apt-get takes more ingenuity? or are you dissing the dev team for not having built an ebuild that does this, yet? naturally you have already examined the binary and determined the watermark is in a regular and predictable place in each that will lend itself readily to automated removal (since Gentoo ebuilds often grab packages like this directly off the mirrors of the corporations themselves).
Even if Gentoo decided to put the entire massive binary on the portage mirrors, someone is going to have to take the time to track down the watermark in at least one copy of the game. And no, I don't think it'll be quite as easy as simply comparing two separate.tgz's - not if the folks creating the watermark had any sense.
If the program has been tampered with, the most obvious thing to tamper with would be the validation mechanism. I'm going to stick with a separate md5sum, thanks.
Even easier, symlinking/usr/mybrowser/plugins to/usr/mozilla/plugins and relinking on upgrade. Heck, if you upgrade it yourself, it is as easy as aliasing tar xvfz mozilla.tar.gz && cd mozilla && rm -rf plugins && ln -s/usr/foo/plugins.
Mozilla. The Gecko core plus a bunch of XML and Javascript that just happens to do a lot of useful stuff that is web related. Firefox. The same Gecko core, not much more increase in speed, with a heck of a lot less XUL.
The thing people don't seem to grasp is Mozilla has erased the barrier between web page, browser and application far more effectively and more safely than IE. Microsoft is trying play catchup with XAML, but at the moment there is already something out there for those who want to, oh, create a web app in PHP.
The point is, the trump card of Microsoft is the ability to provide mail/news (Outlook), web browsing (IE) and file system (Explorer) all with the same hooks. Mozilla offers this and more. For those who want to be able to have Javascript debugging, DOM editing, chat, mail, news, encryption and more, Mozilla is a great technology demo for Gecko.
For those whom choice confuses and scares, they ship Fire* with the *same* bloody core, not much difference in speed, but a nice restrained set of options.
Frankly, those obsessing about an extra 4 or 5 megabytes of XML on top of the Gecko core need to accept that we aren't exactly using 2400 baud modems anymore.
Encrypting AIM has been possible for ages. I did it with Tik using stunnel. The issue, of course, is the people most likely to read it (i.e. AOL) are still perfectly capable of doing so since the tunnel is not direct from your client to your friend's. ICQ does allow direct connection chat, so theoretically could do encrypted tunnels too. I haven't investigated, though, to see if it is part of the protocol or if a wrapper would be required.
If that were true, the recent anti-spam laws would actually be enforceable. Numerous methods remain to make you too hard to track. You can be using a vast army of windows zombies as as proxies (one of the many windows users whose machine was taken over in this fashion successfully defended himself against a child porn charge that way). Any machine where you can wipe the logs is a good place to have the trail go cold. You can use public libraries, and other public internet locations. Unsecured WAPs work too.
The fact is, is that you are only traceable on the internet if you aren't really trying to hide, or if you are too stupid to hide.
Yes. The reason this works is Mozilla Mail's native format, for better or worse, is a spool (+ a file to keep track of it, but that gets regenerated if deleted). So, at home, I use fetchyahoo (emerge fetchyahoo) to collect mail from certain Yahoo! directories and write them to spools. The spools specified in the crons, in this case, being Mozilla Mail's own. ~/.mozilla/default/random.slt/Mail/Yahoo/Fol dernam e
Amusingly, I'm *more* secure using the screen scraper than others are using Yahoo!'s POP services, since they still won't run secure POP, while they *do* offer secure HTTP.
My 4 year old Honda Civic Ex, that I do a lot of stop and go beltway commuting in, and have only taken indifferent care of still gets 33-34 in those conditions. On long highway drives it gets 36-37. I'm willing to bet his beltway commutes put him in the low end of his range which means I'm running at 50% greater efficiency.
Hey, if a tree can manage it... I wonder if a hydraulic ram pump would be in keeping with the spirit of the challenge, or if they expect creative use of vacuum around the whole aparatus. If tree method employed, is there a limit on the number of straws?
And what if you then set up the person's basement as meth lab? Is that still just trespassing? Wondering if there's any law about using the computer for malicious purposes, once you trespass illegally.

Metacrawler easily predates Google.
I was using it in, like, '95 or '96. (Webcrawler *was* my first, though)
I seem to remember it didn't even have a domain name back then, it was a page on some university site.
I know Google has some history, but I only started using Google Beta sometime in '99 or so.
I'm sure the initial engine wasn't around in '95.
I'd say, highly unlikely given the main QRIO site spells it in romaji.
