I wouldn't know; It's one of those crappy airports I've been avoiding since the 1980's, Eespecially because of the guaranteed extra hour delay for connecting flights.

I'm curious about the judge though. Is that a simpleton as well; or perhaps a shrewd official, well aware that allowing the case is going to splatter a new meme "tax avoidance cayman islands bank julius baer" across the web for years to come?
Again, how is that bad? The patent system is deliberately designed to transfer more money from consumer to patent owner. I'd say the patent troll is just an extremely environmentally friendly way of doing so: by not producing anything at all in return.
Oddly enough I get a segv if I compile it with as a.out with 'gcc crap.c' but the exploit works with 'gcc -o crap crap.c'... (stock 6.24 kernel and fc-8 6.23xxx).
Woops, I forgot all about that. But you're right I didn't have problems with that one either. or with this one for that matter: http://www.geocities.com/rcwoolley/
I personally have experienced none of the problems you mention. In fact, I haven't had any problems with XP, 2000, NT, CE, 98, 95, 3.11, 3.1, 3.0, DOS 3.3 either.
"Everyone always thinks the scientists lead the way discovering cures and shit, but thats B.S., really we have marketing research what people are the most insecure of, what we can make the most money in treating.. This is their standard level of B.S.. In fact, no marketing research department has never asked for something that wasn't already discovered and making money for the competiton. If marketing were really to identify something new they would be the first to claim their place on the patents. I have seen the exact opposite however: marketing droids massaging the management to stop the development of some new drugs because the company didn't have a market share in the field at the time (so they would have to retrain their sales people...)
I guess it is just one way of being anticompetitive (I don't remember Microsoft being the champion of free markets or competiton in the past so it's not really big step) Or perhaps Mr. Gates has just realized that he actually has enough money?
I'm guessing that the rise of value in the stock option plans after announcing a 15% salary cut is going to be more of an incentive to the management than 'keeping employees' (after all, in a free market with rising unemployment, employees are cheap as chips).
Think whatever you like about the French, but their stupid economical decisions have so far resulted in a 60% faster growth of their economy compared to the US in the last 5 years (Computed as CAC40/DJI*$). Perhaps we will learn that state-run industries and industry-run states are both sub-optimal endpoints of an economical spectrum.
Your whole comment was one statement about what you were going to do. How could a reply to that not be personal? If you consider an invitation to substantiate your suggestions about the loss incurred by your decision an ad hominem attack you must have a very poor self-image.
If the symmetry and isotropy give diamonds their shine, why are crystals of for instance Si, Ge, Sn not as beautiful? They have the same isotropy and crystal structure. And why is a low-symmetry sapphire prettier than high-symmetry table salt? I would guess high index of refraction, and the lack of absorption of optical wavelengths are the more relevant properties.
It's a sad fact that the hardware industry is being driven by bloatware and anti malware You should look on the bright side: Since everybody has to buy high-end hardware, it also becomes much cheaper for people who need it for more interesting stuff. (I would for instance very much like to see the next main-stream OS requiring 16 cores or more to run a simple email client on a desktop machine...)
Oddly enough I've also been to the biggest geothermal plant, and it's neither in Iceland nor in the Philippines... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larderello producing 4,800 GWh per year (about 4 times more than the theoretical maximum of the 125 MW of tongonan)
My old boss once suggested something similar to the US ambassador: why not use your military spending to bribe the communists governments. The reply was that bribery was unethical (but killing apparently wasn't...).

No worries, it will be finished sooner, January's Gentoo will definitely be compiled before christmas.

Well, apparently you can sign up for some advanced field training, where you will learn all those advanced skills lacking in this version.

I'd say the 'Puritan Coalition' is closer to the mark, or perhaps 'the coalition of countries that don't talk funny'.

Of course you are free to cease your creative work.
I wonder if anybody is going to notice.

for instance Si, Ge, Sn not as beautiful? They have the same isotropy and crystal structure.

(see any textbook on crystallography, or for instance http://cst-www.nrl.navy.mil/lattice/ )
Other countries don't have terrorist problems (yet), and so they don't have to perform intrusive procedures.
Are you joking?
You miss my point: I wouldn't run a gui on such a 16-core desktop box.
