And if we make freedom of expression illegal, everyone will stop right. Ever since murder and coveting thy neighbour's wife has been illegal murder and adultrey have stopped. Oh wait. No.
You can make "fuck" illegal, but when you do the government is one step closer to jailing you for the above comment. Think about that. Society needs to be able to be free to offend other people. Because sometimes good ideas are offensive.
Sorry if it bothers your kids. Don't watch TV. It's not that good anyway:)
Too fucking bad. Does the word fuck on slashdot bother you? Too fucking bad, don't fucking read slashdot:) [Don't like TV? Don't watch it. Loss of ad-revenue hurts the execs more than a fine for swearing. Let the market control language and profanity. Oh yeah, you have a god-given right to get whatever you want 100% of the time. Now I see...]
Seriously, too bad if kids were watching the Superbowl. Actually, not really. There are bad words in the world. People fuck. Stop shielding them from the real world.
Honestly, you'd better not let your wife breastfeed your kids. They might see a nipple. And no sex for you two either. What if they walk in!???
Is this encrypted like satellite TV? Or can I buy a receiver and not pay for the signal? Are these people going to sue all purchasers of smart card IO devices?
Umm, because there's no new MacOS software that will run on my iMac Rev. B's. So I installed Linux on both of them and now I have two more XFCE workstations for my family. It's a good deal (better than having them sit there unused), and far more useful than MacOS ever was (I installed Linux on my mac right when the USB support first came out. Now (several years later... I started at 2.2.6) I have 2 ppc Linux boxes and 2 x86 Linux boxes:)
Frankly, I think Debian should not include it until the Firefox people lighten up. Is this really OSS? "Yeah here's the source code, but don't change it." is almost what they're saying. That's what M$ says*, as well.
* I think I just invoked Godwin's Law:) Hitler didn't let people make derivitive works of his software, either:D
> You could get in the same trouble if you don't say you're not a lawyer and you give some damn credible advice.
I can give all the damn advice I want. It's not illegal to sound like a lawyer if you aren't one. This is a fucking online forum. (Maybe if I set up an office of "Dewey & Cheetum Law Firm" and acted like I was a lawyer, but I'm not)
Think about it. If I give advice about which compiler to use, am I saying that I am a computer scientist? Am I qualified to speculate about which algorithms are best?
No. And I don't have to be. If I want to be an arm-chair lawyer (or CS person) and post my opinion on slashdot, I can (and I will!:D).
Really. Think about it. I can say whatever I want online (although I shouldn't say it as jrockway:D), nobody's going to stop me.
Windows is for the Mainstream crowd. I mean, most people don't care about Freedom or choice in software. Sometimes you have to deal with a "hard" installer to get a "better" OS.
I was raised on MacOS. I have no problems with anything under Linux.
I am good at reading, though. If you like reading, and don't mind having to think, Linux is for you. Otherwise, it's probably not worth it.
Hmm, I have XFree86 4.3.0 and linux 2.6.3. Both installed from packages (actually I compiled 2.4.3 for this machine, but my server uses the stock debian 2.6.3 kernel).
Anyway, yeah Debian Stable is old. That's a feature.
Debian unstable, however, is bleeding edge, but not broken. It's great. Much newer than any other distro.
Debian gives the user the choice of old packages/high reliability or new packages/average reliability. That's better than semi-recent pcakages/semi-decent reliability that Mandrake, Fedora, Slackware, and SuSE offer.
Thanks, apt*.
* Other distros have apt, but Debian's is better because the debian developers use it properly. I've NEVER had a dependency problem (problems yes, but they weren't too bad). Apt is the best feature of any operating system I've ever used.
I really like the Debian installer. I'm used to it (on x86 AND ppc), and it just works for me. I know what to expect, I know that I don't have to get graphics working to install the distro. The more I use it, the better it seems.
Then again, I've never used a graphical installer.
You're the only person in the world who would want things to work like that. Each window gets an icon to focus that window. I mean, how else would you do it!?
Peet's Coffee, eh? I just discovered that stuff a few weeks ago and I have to say that it's the best coffee I've ever had the pleasure of drinking! I'm making some right now. Keep up the great work:)
That's a good analogy. One is expensive and popular, and the other is Free and has better output quality. I don't really understand why people are taught word instead of LaTeX. Is \section so hard to type (nooo i just press bold and press enter a few times... then when i want to change the format i'm up a creek).
Anyway, computers are much better about being consistient than people. That's why LaTeX'd documents look so good; we know what good documents should look like, and we tell the computer how to make them. People have memory lapses (wow I like that font!!!); copmuters don't.
Wow. I'm way off topic here. Moral of my post? Try to learn LaTeX, you'll be glad you did. Especially if you're a math person... you'd better learn it now:)
Okay, the name of the goddamn website is "Linux Musician". Yhat means, to me, that it will be about making audio under Linux. And guess what, THAT IS WHAT IT IS ABOUT.
The two words aren't designed to put you in some demographic. It's merely informing you that this publication is about music and linux. It's pretty simple to understand, IMO.
Yeah, they'll be "emmigrating". Oh wait, that would be illegal. You know that contract you signed? Yeah. You can't just quit for free. You have to pay for the rest of the year.
Moral of the story? Dish/Echostar is shafting you, Viacom is shafting you. Just download what you want to watch:)
It's getting harder and harder to legally obtain the content you want (companies fighting to raise the price and make it unavailable. hey guys: if it were cheap and readily available WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO `STEAL' IT!!!). Take back control! That's what BitTorrent is for. It's your right AND obligation. (Well, maybe not that much:)

I like the unreadable clock that takes up half the screen. So shiny.... so goood.

So yeah, Linux has it's uses as well.
Hey... this is why we should all use emacs exclusively :)
:D
Seriously, RMS is the one person who that we can trust to not pull shit like this. I mean, he's RMS
OTOH, people know that Debian's modifying it.

This is a very very good point. Please mod this up; it's truly right on (and well worded, too!).

Yup, I got an entire class of non-tech people through the knoppix-installer stuff. Works like a charm :)

Of course your computer can't throw darts. We already knew that :)
You're the only person in the world who would want things to work like that. Each window gets an icon to focus that window. I mean, how else would you do it!?
Um, your first link is from 2000 and GTK1. That's a bit old.
The styrofoam is also a great insulator and should cook your hard drive to death in about 25 to 40 minutes :)

With a system like this in place, anyway.
we :) do that in english ;) too.
okay, ^_^ maybe not T_T

How about your gf? That's as many fps as you want :)
Maybe because you're not going to die if Word crashes?
