Your example isn't that great. Making up lies and attacking a person doesn't work in this society. In this case, I would sue you for libel or something like that (I don't know the rules but I think I can sue you if you publish something saying I am a pedophile)
In that case, though, there are consequences. Sorry, but you just proved my point.
For those who've used these shiny new touchscreen voting machines...
How do they handle write-ins?
Example: in the (just overturned) 2003 Gubernatorial election, I voted for a write-in candidate, because through some quirk of fate, the Libertarians nominated "Captain Loogie" and "Ferret-Boy". The old system allowed me to write-in my vote.
Free speech means what it implies: free speech!!! People should be allowed to say whatever they want without any consequences.
Fine. You're a dickhead. And a pedophile(*). * Disclaimer: parent poster is not really a pedophile, I was trying to prove a point.
Seriously. Free Speech means that you are free to say what you want without any consequences FROM THE GOVERNMENT. If people believe Howard's an idiot, and more importantly, can convince his superiors he's an idiot, then fine. With rights come responsibilities. The right of Free Speech implies the responsibility of accepting the consequences of ones speech.
RTFOP. He already had a PPT file. He had a windows machine. He decided to use OOo instead of "pirating" MS PowerPoint. He ragged on OOo. My point was he could have stayed nice and legal by using the PPT Viewer.
I'm well aware that PPT Viewer is closed source and Windows only. For his needs though, it would have been fine.
I was referring to nanosecond as meaured by the speed of light. You were referring to a nanosecond of longitude, which I didn't realize until I read your second post. I'm used to dealing with decimal degrees when playing with latitude/longitude (occupational hazard for my particular line of employment).
Slashdot Mirror
here are a number of free utilities to block popups in IE that work well, but AFAIK, none can block Flash animations
Then use Mozilla Phoenix. And download the "click to play flash" extension.
The OP probably knows how to update the FW. He's wondering about what new backdoors/advertising/whatever Belkin has put in...
Yeah, but Hollywood movies never turn a profit. Just ask Art Buchwald.
If the GPL is valid, SCO will be in big trouble for continuing to distribute the code.
And if the GPL isn't valid (an outcome which I doubt), SCO will still be in big trouble for continuing to distribute the code.

First of all, it's "Belgium", not "Belgian".
Second of all, you didn't use it in a Serious Screenplay.
Maybe the Sun wasn't getting enough response from its X-10 popups?

No, it was Voyager 6.
The Klingons destoryed Pioneer 10 in STV.
They won't be able to, because if they try to play it, the RIAA will sue them under the DMCA!
This is slashdot. Nobody clicks on the links in the story.
Oohhh!! That brings up a question.

Sean Connery: All right, Trebek, I'll play your game! I'll take "The Rapists" for $500.
This will look like a troll, but it isn't.

Because wings are dead weight that need to be hauled into orbit.
Of course, the fuel for landing could be considered dead weight, too...

WinFS was supposed to replace NTFS. Now it's just gonna be IMDB
So WinFS will contain all sorts of information about movies? Does Jack Valenti know about this?
(PS, yes, I did read the whole post.)
Giving new meaning to his father's quote: "Why settle for BILLIONS, when you can have... MILLIONS?" (pinky to mouth).
So yes Linus still works, at least to some extent.
Unless OSDL fired him, I would assume that he's still working....
I figured they'd use cows to distribute it.

Downgrade your ME to 98SE (or upgrade it to 2K). WinME is the most bloatedly useless steaming pile of shit that Microsoft ever produced.
For the DOS based Windows versions, 98SE is the best. For the NT family, I'd go with 2K over XP.
Fine. You are aware, though, that Microsoft provides a free Powerpoint Viewer? All you have to do is go to microsoft.com and download it.
