. . . more than 80% of the
eligible voters simply ignore the vote completely . . . That leaves the power of the vote to those who
do go to the polls multiplied by thousands of
times.
What's Tux's motivation for getting ice and water together, and sitting in the hot sun all day to give them away?
This is one of the key points that traditional software companies use to attack Linux: basically people code for entertainment and there's no guarantee that a component that's critical to a particular user won't fall by the wayside when the developer gets bored of it. What keeps Tux from getting hot/bored and going home?
And of course there's the point others have made; that Linux is free in cash but much more expensive in time and effort. People should at least need to pour their own glass:)
NPR had a story on wardriving this morning. While they didn't use the term, they covered the topic pretty accurately (as usual).
They interviewed a couple of guys that regularly drive around in a "pickup truck full of gear" and document access points. Apparently one of them has documented more than 400.
The best part was when they said they do it at night, so people in "affluent neighborhoods" won't mistake the cylidrical antenna for a shotgun.
And you can't really "see" water vapor. The resulting "vision" is actually photons reflecting from or refracting throught the water and stimulating retinal nerves.
Everything you just said is precisely why the theory of relativity makes sense. Things move "relative" to other things. There is no "absolute zero" motion.
Motion is absolute only in relation to a specific frame of reference.
And why does the Linux matter?!

They've named their business and based much of their marketing on the fact that they use a particular computer operating system. This reads more like a tech-company pitch, not an airline pitch.
Linux is great and all, but I'd feel a little more comfortable knowing that the people behind the scenes are experts in something else, like, I don't know . . . FUCKING AIRPLANES?!
Point taken, but there should be a happy medium between complexity and performance. Just throwing more hardware at every performance problem leads to VERY underperforming software when you get to the macro level.
Think about if you implemented all of your sorts using a bubble sort because they are easier, then just "threw more hardware at the problem" instead of using a better algorithm. When your app starts doing 400 sort operations/second, the hardware cost becomes prohibitive.
Agreed. The way the work is drawn, the view is subtly transformed from inside the hanging print to the outside world and back as you move your eyes around the spot. If the spot were not there, it would force inside/outside to meet at some specific point. As it is now, it's a smooth transition.

Could you mean, perhaps, five times?

It's humor. Politics are dry enough already.

Maybe you should use a fucking real browser.
Eat your words now.
- Client for Microsoft Networks is not a network protocol. It works at a completely different layer.
- By default, 2000 and XP install TCP/IP as the only protocol (not NetBIOS).
Sure, it sucks regardless. But please get your facts straight before attacking.I could go from South Jersey to New York on a Starbucks kid-size latte.
So you're saying they're pretty accurate Red Bull imitations?

Your company spends $500,000 per year on you (assuming 40 hour weeks)? Man, I need your job . . .

Are you blind? You might reconsider if you were.
Nope, you have to find a biased reporter.

Maybe if you throw in all existing copies of the source. And throw in the source for Office too, for good measure.

People like you are the cause of today's crappy, bloated software. There is no substitute for well-optimized code.
