In reaction to this announcement, Mr. Stallman screamed in anger. "This sort-of-closed-source BSD licensing scheme is inappropriate and unacceptable, and furthermore, the press release clearly says 'Linux,' not 'GNU/Linux.' I want Taco's head on a plate with a side of refried beans, now!!"
That feels to me like a Social Darwinist argument to me. In human society for thousands of years, parents haven't been expected to put in 100% of the hours. It seems that oftentimes the "second family," as some sociologists call it, is really fundamentally broken. i don't think that people without the time shouldn't have kids, I think that people withou the WILL shouldn't have them.
... Everything as The Mystery Project thought up and developed years ago by Nate & I, which has since taken on a life of its own.... both priceless and worthless to this bizarre experiment in distributed collection and maintanence of information. If only we figured out a way for it to break even;)
Perhaps redundant, but hear hear! I have to add, though, that oftentimes people in working-class situations can't do all this stuff. They just don't have the time. They have to work.
Ok, if that's your argument... The American colonies were mostly angry about taxation without representation, a situation which the British Empire, Canada, etc. have mostly come to term with.
I'm really bothered by this notion that when people put their kids in daycares during the day, they are being greedy and selfish. This is nonsense! People have to go to work to feed their kids. Yes, they can't care for them personally all day every day, but they sure need to put food on the table.
i think that people can be horribly contradictory on their demands for people, especially those within the "working class." Say a poor 18-year-old gets pregnant. She can't get an abortion, easily, anyhow, because of protesters & societal pressure. She is near the welfare threshold. However, she is made out to be a lazy welfare mother, so she gets a job and manages to get her kid into community day care. Now she isn't pulling down society by taking welfare, but she is still bad because she's "trying to selfishly climb the corporate ladder." Hence, no matter what she does she is bad.
When people say that people shouldn't put their kids in daycare, they are speaking from a position of sheltered privelege, and need to be aware that maybe some people HAVE to work during the day or starve.
Well I'm not sure what the correct course of action is here, but yes I know all about zero wing and all that. It's just that jokes about it usually get modded down as trolls or OT and it must have taken a conspiracy to get it up that high. Yeah
When I saw this i sort of figured a bunch of trolls got together and decided to get it modded up with their scattering of mod points, especially because of the one "informative" point on it. IMHO the tolerance for off-the-wall humor on/. is way too low. way to go, AC man.
In a cheap bid for Informative modding up, Hongpong,/. user 226840, noted that the Drew Carey show in question will be on at 8 PM in the Central time zone. That's seven minutes from now.
In eastern, it will probably at 9 EST, and mountain, 7, and pacific, 8, if i was to guess.
By coincidence i ran into a ranting lunatic (on the internet) complaining about how "invisible laser beams" in the RF band are messing with him. Fortunately he's suing Janet Reno. Yeah...
This isn't really OT, because I say it's a helluva lot of RF radiation coming from that tower. Maybe the raving derelict is onto something!
That is both mind-blowingly awesome, and terrifying, and, well, obviously difficult to believe. I'll check it out on snopes.com, an urban legend-debunking site, see if there's anything similar. Cool though, man.
That's a lot of RF/microwave radiation! I bet there will be 2-headed pigeons and stuff. Or maybe just cooked pigeons. Oh, yeah, no birds that high.
As long as I am rolling on a stream of consciousness, reminds me of a story, back in the day microwave station operators in the artic used to stand in front of their dishes to warm up. Maybe true, I don't know. Anyone can corraborate?
I think it would be difficult to monitor downloads. Uploads, or rather, making files available on a P2P network, on the other hand, would be far more easy to moonitor, I'd think.
When I was a little younger, I loved Space Ghost Coast to Coast. However, until just the other day I'd never seen it written up anywhere. In The Oxford American they had a really funny, interesting article. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be available online. Here is a tidbit about it though.
If you want a laugh, go onto Napster and search for "Space Ghost". My favorite is known as "Brak is stoned".
Well, I've been a sort-of-fan for some years, and I believe I know the root of one big problem. A lot of the guest actors REALLY suck! I think in particular of one example, the one where the Doctor gets to be a famous opera singer. His love interest on the planet was the most terrible actress I've seen on TV in a long time.
Then I had an idea: Why not use the same core group of actors repeatedly to play all sorts of occassional characters? An actor could become known for his plethora of alien beings. It would sort of harken back to the theatre, I suppose.
I remember that that one crazy chick, Cezca, the Cardassian spy, played a Romulan security officer watching the cloaking device on DS9, so it isn't as if this hasn't been done before. And of course Tom Parris played a senior cadet in TNG. And Nurse Chapel == The elder Ms. Troi. And Doctor Pulaski played a blind weirdo on TOS. Wow, they've actually done that a lot. How do I remember this stuff?
Anyhow, this would be a definite shift from the usual garbage, I say.
I believe that only a neural net capable of adjusting to common misspellings, combined with a method of sampling songs at random and matching the first couple seconds to a massive database would have any chance of stopping piracy through name-blocks.
However, it is likely that the neural net will need to be expanded rapidly as 31337 H4XX0R 5p311ing becomes commonplace. The Neural Net, now known as SkyNapNet, employing heuristic algorithms, will cross a as-yet-undiscovered threshold and mankind will marvel at its own ingenuity as it gives birth to 'AI', spawning a whole race of machines.
It was unknown who fires the first shot, us or Jack Valenti. We do know, however, that it is us who scatter billions of CDs of Metallica's 'Kill 'em All' over the earth.
A lone intrepid robot, reprogrammed by the rebels, ventured back into time into 1980's Los Angeles. There he began gunning down every Shawn Fanning in the phone book...

That's sort of amusing... a DEITY variable for a shell... I wonder if we should ask Korn to put it in the next version of ksh.
