Correction Linux is the Linux Operating System's kernel. That's right Linux is a kernel, an operating system, and an operating environment.
Because we're free to use GNU/Free software as long as we stick to the GPL, which lets me call the OS Fred if i want to.
In fact I can create a new operating system, call it something like Penguin OS, use a Linux Kernel and the GNU utilities. Because its mine call whatever I want. And as long as I stick to the terms of the GPL, (And other trademarks regulations), there's nothing RMS (_|_) can do. The correct name for the OS is what ever I call it, because I put it together.
So RMS is free to call his little distro whatever he wants, but neither him nor his lackeys have any business telling the rest of was what to call it.
Have fun trying to get a job without being able to implement or use the binary trees in a language, and being able to convey that knowledge in an interview. Because if you aren't proficient in at least one marketable language, or your aren't from a top CS school like MIT, you're going to be fucked. I've known people with Masters in CS from GA Tech who couldn't code for shit. I don't care what kinds of algorithms or advanced math they learned, if they can't apply it,(i.e. code), to design and build a decent application, they're fucking incompetent. I know people who got their CS degrees go never got a decent job because they never learned a decent language.
Lean all the CS you can, AND make sure you can code. Learning to code will get you the first job, learning the CS will hopefully keep you employed.
Then we should call Debian Linux/Debian to be more accurately differentiate it from Hurd/Debian.
In addition Linus has the right to call his OS whatever he wants to, and he called it Linux. Yes its true, Linux depends on GNU; but it doesn't matter. Does the FSF require that users of their software name their systems based on GNU? or is this just a special case because Linux is widely successful?
The fact is if Linux were not successful, the RMS would have not tried or cared to prepend the GNU brand to Linus's little OS.

Many people refuse to do business with ANY part of the former SBC oligarchy. So Steve jobs can do to himself with his iPhone what SBC/ATT/whatever have been doing to their customers.
You need to schedule follow up teleconferences to discuss the proposals and get on the phone and call them. You can even setup conferences so that is dials out to the other participants.
If at the teleconference you find out people aren't reading your proposals find out when they can have them reviewed, and schedule another teleconference.
If you continue to suffer the noncooperation, especially from your boss, find another job because you obviously aren't needed where you are.
I do think it's wrong for the ISP to block phishing sites. That's not what I'm paying them for; I'm paying them to connect me to the Internet. Alert the offending system's ISP? Yes. But for them to remain a common carrier, they should be required to allow me to look and browse any phishing site I want to.
If you want an ISP to nanny you that should be an additional service, possibly a different corporate entity. And the ISP providing the nanny service would then not be a common carrier.
As for people typing information into a phishing site: never type your information into a site that you receive via the email.
How are you supposed to show that there is no evidence for a myth? Its a myth because there is not evidence.
Besides conspiracy theorists don't need evidence, they make stuff up, claim is fits their distorted view of reality and call it evidence; just check out the Electric Universe or Moon Landing Hoax.
Homogenization of the desktop OS has crippled the growth of the PC and ensured inferior products.
The carriers are whining because they want the power to customize the OS so they can charge fees to unlock built in features and make phones less portable across carriers. More operating systems means that the have to spend more money to squeeze their customers.
I'm not sure when the last time I've read so much only to realize the guy said absolutely nothing meaningful.
Just to answer one his taboo topics, does community work?
Well, the community was able to produce an operating system, that while may have not be most user friendly system, has features that took MS years add; like a built in firewall.
You can question it all you want, but the OS on my system was produced by the community and it works. Thats all the proof I need.
We know a lot more than you give us credit for, perhaps you need to read a little deeper, try Relativity by Albert Einstein. AE just made up stuff because observations didn't fit Newtons proven model. So he just made up some equations to match the observations. But alas his made up equations didn't correctly model acceleration or gravity, so he made up GR.
GR is a very accurate theory, and there is experimental evidence of it. The two most famous are the perihelion precession of Mercury, and stars visible near the eclipsed sun. Of course being semi-interested in Cosmology/Astrophysics you would already know that.
Stuff like Dark Matter that just doesn't get made up, it falls out naturally when equations which are shown to work in one situation are shown to fail in another. DM vs GR for example. There's a lot of guess work as to what DM is, but that's where life gets interesting, we don't know what it is. We know 'something' is there, we just don't know what the something is. DM isn't a convenience item, its a wart, because without the wart GR which is shown to work in other cases could be used to correctly model galactic motion.

That may be part of the problem. Cheap junior programmers from India doing cut'n paste coding.
Your labor worth exactly what you can convince somebody else to paying for it.
Here you go:
Everything from paypal.com and all other financial institutions goes in the trash.

It still should not choke on correct syntax.
Not so long as the iPhone is Cingular only.

You can't know both location and momentum of it.

If that's what it takes to get the child to behave, then fuck yes.
The parent should stand in the corner watching their brat until the child fucking learns, or finds an alternate school system.
And those powers include signing treaties, which the states are specifically prohibited from doing.
Many companies don't give the freedom to implement change to salaries; that requires a change request and management approval.

Just follow the $$. More time in the evening means that people will go out and spend more $$ after work.
That should be more correctly Linux/Debian to distinguish is from HURD/Debian.
Lets hear it of Flashblock!
If Adobe would give end users a little more control over their Flash apps, like a way of turning off the volume, I wouldn't bother.

Please report to your Physics 1 instructor and ask for a refresher.
