if something breaks we want it fixed, not in a couple of minutes, not after discussion on a newsgroup, but Now.
And how do you get that from Microsoft [I'm assuming MS is the current closed-source base]? Microsoft only releases patches once per month (if that often).
Don't I remember some company lending a multi-processor system to Alan Cox a few years back so that he could work on scaling SMP code?
Ah yes, I think it was a company called "Caldera" who did that (http://www.linux.org.uk/SMP/title.html). You know, they're called "SCO" now..
Well, that explains it. Because SCO (nee Caldera) lent AC the SMP system, they obviously own all SMP code in the kernel. Can Darl have his <PINKY-TO-MOUTH>FIVE BILLION DOLLARS</PINKY-TO-MOUTH> now?
Within the stick itself. Somebody else pointed out that the motion is transferred by electrostatic repulsion, which being transmitted by photons, travels no faster than c.

The Tenth (same link) says that the Federal Government has no powers except those explicitly listed.
To paraphrase:
9. Even though we didn't mention them, you've got those rights.
10. If we didn't say the feds can do something, they can't.

I think Ellison should sue the New York Public Library. After all, they're making his copyrighted works available to the public FOR FREE!
Except that there's those inconvienent billing records. Of course, getting the FBI out to Vanuatu is another matter.
my main problem with the Pledge of Allegiance is that my allegiance goes to the Constitution, not the flag.
I had that problem as well for a while. But the key line there "And to the Republic for which it stands".
And with any luck, the Ninth Circuit will be upheld, and "Under G-d" will go away.
we might see a movement toward good engineering praxis
No, the eletrical grid shut down. Praxis blew up.
More importantly, will Troy McClure star in the movie?
Yeah, the same guy who did Chaos Manor for Byte,
He's writing it now for Dr. Dobbs.

Homer: I'm going to take you where there's nobody around for miles... Disney's California Adventure!

Sort of like the way Caldera morphed into SCO?
The Brits tend to refer to companies in the plural.
It's a form letter. According to the Groklaw-ites, several people who wrote to complain got the identical letter.
AOL is not the internet.
But... but.. their commercials flat out say, "AOL is the Internet"!!!!
They wouldn't lie to me, would they??
Look in your doghouse.
You forgot to link to The Moon: A Ridiculous Liberal Myth.
I live there too.. You're right. Lead doesn't melt on the ground, it just goes straight into the groundwater :-)
Seriously, though, LA has a much smaller problem with Acid Rain and such than the east coast does.
I learned Simula 67 back in 1987. Cal State Northridge had it as part of the "Intro to Programming Languages" course (a 200 level course).
OK, I downloaded 0.8 (Win32), and installed it.
It trashed my SeaMonkey 1.6 settings. Anyone else see this behavior?
Maybe we could name the mail client "Rodan-zilla"?
Anyone else have problems where installing FireFox0.8 wiped out their Mozilla SeaMonkey settings?
Shrek was Universal. Was Pixar's deal with Disney exclusive?
The answer is right here.

So lie about it. The NYT thinks I'm a 70 year old female CEO living in Afghanistan pulling down less than $20K per year.
