The Challenger blew up because it was launched on a day that was too cold for some o-rings, causing fuel to leak out. Software had nothing to do with it.
Face it.. the libertarians are a minority in this country. The mainstream drives politics, and the media drives the mainstream. It's these "you should be offended at this" news shows that really warp people's minds.. FOX News comes to mind as one of the worst.. And who is FOX run by.. one of the hardest-assed Republicans ever, Mr. Rupert Murdoch. The Democrats are only listening to their brainwashed constituants. (Listening to their constituants? Ohhhh.. that's what representatives in a republic are supposed to do.. too bad most of 'em only listen to the biggest pile of cash.. and who's against campaign finance reform of/any/ kind? Mostly Republicans.)
Trolls like you are the biggest argument for censorship I've ever seen. So pull that right wing stick out of your ass and go to college, where you might actually learn something about software and figure out microsoft sucks... Or are you so weak minded that you'll avoid college because you don't want to be "brainwashed" by liberals. Go fuck yourself.
The problem I see with what you said is that you equate kids shooting themselves with guns with kids seeing porn. These are two entirely different, uncomparable things. Dead kids are dead kids... but a kid who sees naked people, or even people having sex, isn't any worse off for it. The only reason people view porn as dangerous to "the children" is because it seems to violate some principle of society whose only logical basis is some religion. The only real way you can compare porn to guns is teaching. Parents who own guns should be able to teach their kids not to shoot themselves, as they should teach their kids not to go out and fuck people until they have lots of babies. Seeing porn is like watching people get shot on TV. It's not the same as getting shot.
I believe there is some detailed information about bandwidth usage one the Worldforge pages.. I've haven't examined the project in detail for a long time, but check the Acorn and Atlas sections of the pages.
The problem with analog copies over digital copies is that a copy of a copy of a copy... of a song/will/ sound noticably worse, whereas an mp3 still sounds like an mp3.
The estate tax may hurt some small farms a little bit, but in the rest of Bush's budget proposals, you'll notice some of his biggest cuts go to agriculture programs...Farms aren't his concern.
Being able to nanoassemble stuff in 2D is nothing new. 3D is a "goal", which means it's a long way from anything useful. (And I know high school students that can write better articles than the AP reporters.)
Well.. If the governments are seriously dedicated to stopping the proliferation of pirated music, I think the amount of cases will go down. It's kinda like people can still smoke pot in private and get away with it for the most part, but the government adds a certain element of risk that discourages some people from doing it.
You right wing freaks simply don't understand something. Reporters aren't stupid, like you. They are train to investigate and interpret facts. The reason major journalism agencies are liberally "biased" isn't because they're biased. It's because they're right. So take your ignorant, selfish or backward ideology and go straight to this imaginary "hell" that all you right wing freaks believe in because you're so ignorant that you are forced to believe one interpretation of what happens after you die, and, on top of that, you try to force these beliefs onto others with you mangling of the political system. Fuck all of you.
The way I believe it works in netrek, which doesn't have a big cheating problem (But only because a very small number of people play, I think) is that when the client connects, the server sends it some random data, the client encrypts it with a certain key and sends it back. The server encrypts a copy of that data and sees if the two encrypted copies match. Obviously, in a much more popular game this method wouldn't work since it would be reverse engineered in no time.

Linux Is Going Down
·
· Score: 1
You're partially right, in that Windows boxes are targeted much more than linux machines, but it is very hard to bring down a linux box with a non-root program, where my Win2k box still manages to crash when I do ordinary things from time to time.
Well, it's not completely functional, since most implementations now support side-effect functions, but many coders frown on their use. It is, however, most definitely the ugliest language I've used.
First, you used "religious types" out of context in your quote, and second, by racist, I meant the people like those in KKK, who say openly that they want Jews and black people to die. The fact that people like this still exist invalidates your claim that people like Jackson are causing racial problems.
I've noticed that most online, voluntary response opinion polls (In a totally nonscientific survey of my own) on mainstream websites like businessweek.com or cnn.com lean strongly to the right. I do believe, though, that most people in this country don't have a clue what's wrong with Microsoft.

The card you heard about was a big hoax.

Worldforge doesn't allow people to just commit stuff to CVS.. You need an account, and one of the human project members needs to give it to you.

Posting as Anonymous Coward is also fairly chicken.

Well.. considering that he obviously does, you have contradicted yourself.
Va te faire foudre.

Amen, brother.

If you ever code in MUSHcode, you'll learn to hate functional programming.
Well, yes, but their numbers are extremely low compared to the numbers of white racists, even if adjusted for their proportions in the population.

The same argument would hold if you replace WinMe with W2K. W2K is even more expensive.
