Well so far the only cases I've heard of someone being shot for carrying something that looked like a gun happend to be a police officer doing the shooting. Not saying police are bad (cough cough) but they are edge more often. The average citizen doesn't like to draw a gun on any occasion as a use of force.
Check out this history of swiss and guns. http://www.ssanz.org.nz/articles/swiss.html
Its from an NZ site so I assume its fairly accuarate. But apparently there no laws on long gun semi-automatic carrying, and some laws on pistol carrying though it doesn't seem all that enforced.
So why waste their time on DNs, when the most important thing that can be used to stifle the proliferation of hate is unity, knowledge, and that overabused four letter word called LOVE.
I agree. I also think that Seseme Street needs to stop squatting on all the letter of the alphabet and use that money to accually teach us something. But its not gonna happen. (btw Childrens Telivisions Workshop owns everysingle theletterX.com thats 26 domains $1950.00 dollars that could have been spent else where)
Well yea sorta, but there is a MAJOR problem with that line of though. Because the word nigger means black quite litterly. So using the term nigger to mean a useless person (even if the person is white, and or useless) is essentially making the equation that black=nigger=useless a=b=c so a=c which in this case is competly FALSE. but that is what your implying.

Well how bout one domain per unique web site?:) guess you could have a script that creates a website that just says the domain name.. and thats unique, but it would still slow things down. I prefer the one domain per true IP it atleast gives them a strange hurtle as they are accually careful when they hand out IPs nowadays.

I Read through all the comments of people who think they are all that and a bag of chips becuase they installed slackware. And then they call this winlinux an emulator, and make up things like it does partition becuase its imposible to install linux on fat. Which proves my point that the distro doesn't tell you how smart the person is. I run redhat and I knew about running linux on a fat partition, and i can read and find out that it reboots the computer, so most likely guys, its not emulating linux. So mabey some of you slackware guys should spend less time flaming and more time learning linux. Or are you too coool for that?

You switched from Linux TO Windows? Your a sick man... I do have to admit that netscape has had some major instability issues since 4.0. But I would recommend you try 4.61 (not 4.60) its amazingly stable, it accually made a IE to Netscape convert out of a MCSE friend of mine.
Yes, and No. The problem is that a few years ago when microsoft was first on trial, it was rulled that microsoft could not bundle anymore software into windows than they already had. Given a browser is an important thing to bundle into and operating system distrubution, but it is not the operating system itself. Microsoft is trying to get around that language by saying that the browser is an intergral part of the operating system and cannot be removed. Bundling is generally a good thing, and I generally appeciate it when any operating system bundles packages that I like to use with their operating system. But Microsoft was banned from such practices, thus making it illigal.
Sure, and you need a wordprocessor to read many other documents. An operating system consist of a kernal, and hardware interfaces and a shell and or GUI (though a GUI really isn't part of an operating system.. but I'll let that slide). Please before you make any arguments about what an operating system consist of go to school and take a class on operating systems, I promise, you will learn a lot. (and no I havn't taken such class but plan too as soon as I can).

Accually I've talked to an old chess oppenent who is a physics science reasearcher at SCRI (super computer research institute) at FSU and he states that the quark thing is a bunch of BS. Suppositivly it has something to do with the fact that a quark in a certain position is defininatly going to do certain things. If you have 2 quarks that are seperated both with continue to go through their patterns generally mindless of the other. But it gives the impression that they are copying eachother. But this is just his opinion, (and this was 2 years ago when he told me that, I haven't seen him in a while, when this theory was just being discovered.. so things may have changed)
I sort of disagree. I don't think the order that articles appear should be based on moderation. Then too many people would be complaning that articles they wanted to read where dissapearing (even if you could turn it off in settings) though having a little score box next to it would be cool. Though on the thought of the order of articles I have always thought it would be cool to give articles a boyancy rating. Of course their initial boyancy would be simply based upon age. The newest articles would appear on top. But articles that recieved alot of comments, would start to float up to the top, thus the people would continue to discuss this article till it became boring and eventually sunk into the depths of article decay. (maby have something like a article starts out with a boyancy of 0 (zero meaning it floats to top) and as it becomes old it gains say a point an hour (or whatever works best) but for every 50 or 100 post (this would be a variable that would need tweaking) the comment losses 1 boyancy point. So as long as a comment is receiving talk it stays ontop (though you might want to make sure some how that brand new articles stay ontop for atleast a half hour or so to give them time to catch on and have people start commenting)
In TurboLinux Cluster server beta agreement it states that. "This license is only for TurboLinux software components not under the GPL. Software components under the GPL include, but are not limited to, the Linux kernel, all modifications made to the Linux kernel, and many of the Linux programs included with the TurboLinux Server OS."
This would be a good comprimise Note: the turbolinux beta site seems to be down or something.. but I had already copied it from yesterday (in a conversation in technocrat) and thought it appropriate to point out here.
Yea, I posted that as an instant "whoa thats cool" responce. Though it quickly became annoying as anything that tends to limit you that greatly. Guess its just a novelty thing you know.

But good luck rewriting the TCP protocol for your penny network -- its end-to-end space-time delay is ten minutes! Just use a good setup of seperated bridges and gates along with a few wormholes, and such a network would not be a bit of a problem.
Maby it is just me, but I have yet to see a patent as of late that wasn't reverse engineerable (atleast to the extend of what would be covered in the patent). Now adays if someone invented the transistor, they would process the "Making of an electronic gate by which through the flow or lack there of, of electrons into a container causes the opening or closing of such gate to allow a free flow of electrons." Or something like that, never quite describing how the hell you did it, but keeping other people from doing the same thing unless they took apart your transistor and figured it out themselves.
Accually I'd personally wouldn't suggest rolling your own. A well functioning web browser is Extremly difficult to make. Mozilla, while admittingly under a slow design process is looking to finish up around the 2 year mark. When did netscape try and proprietise protocols. Admittingly they wern't the most forthcomming of giving up javascript, but look what happend to it. Before the days of AOL, and netscape going free beer they were a company I looked up to. But things change, and sometimes you have to fight fire with fire. While it is almost sad what netscape has become, it obviously did not begin that way. Many employees have left Netscape reciently because of that change. But we can't all know the reasons behind such change, I can only hope they relax a bit once Micros~1 is out of the picture.
Whoa thats scary. They own every single letter But I noticed that none of thenumber#.com's are owned anyone want to buy #1-12 and give them to CTW could be a tax writeoff:) HAAH
Whoa.. in their linux search they even have slashdot referenced for example you can type in Octos and see links to just about everything you said on here. (sure you can do that through slashdot too.. but this is so much cooler)
Microsoft today, mumbling something about having every linux developer killed off and stealing their copyrights, announced a linux distrubution. "It was through our brave new move, along with the help from Interix, that we can proudly proclaim the introduction of a brand new wave in computing. No longer does the IT departments have to stress over if they should allow an untested 'volunteer' operating system, or a true stable operating system such as NT. Now they can have compatibility with linux, and the benifits of being a partner with a well established company."
I read a long time ago that Microsoft had signed an agreement with Xerox (or was it AT&T?) that they would not compete in the unix market. Would this be considered compitition, as they could potentially offer a unix compatible (laugh) system. If anyone has any more info about the agreement I'd love to hear it, or was it just a passing rumor?
Yes, I completly agree with you, on the analysis on beta testers being internal. But the problem with that is, a company if wishing to give away the software, but not the source, could call its product a beta indefinatly. Look at ICQ (while they are not using GPL its just an example) everyone of their products have so far been called betas, but they are still making money off the advertising associated with it. We need to set legal presidence on this issue. And possibly what would define internal beta, and what would define a shipping product, weither they call it that or not.
I think you have a point there accually (and yes, I realize your intent was humor). But the point is that mircosoft would never admit to underminding a research study. So that automatically gives me doupts as to the credibility of such an admittion.
Yea, but atleast you have to have had training to operate it. Or be able to crack the security. Either way I'd trust an operator of one much more than a typical car... Of course, untill the burocrats get a hold of the notion that it is everyone "right" to be able to own their own flyer.
