The problem with libertarians is that most of the vocal ones seem to be either druggies or greedy hypocritical scumbags who think they should be allowed to do whatever they want, but still want to cling to mommy government's apron when something goes wrong.
I doubt that the GGP poster is interested in actually eliminating government intereferences like "bankruptcy" and "incorporation".
something like "for file in *" in bash will ignore special characters and run the loop once, for each actual file.
bash's for loop understands * as a special case. if you need something like "for file in $(find...);" you'll get one loop per word again. Also, even when you get one loop per file, you still have to quote $file when you use it because bash parses arguments to the command after variable substitution, so something like touch $file when $file is foo bar becomes touch foo bar where foo and bar are separate arguments, rather than what most people would expect (that the value of $file would be passed to the command as a single argument)
Removing space from $IFS (the "standard" way is to make it tab and newline: IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b") ) fixes many of these quirks.
Yes, but it was committed with a computer or other telecommunications device, which somehow magically makes it a completely different event!
That's because government officials have run out of new things to make illegal that won't get major pushback from the citizenship (eg guns) so in order to make it look like they're still needed, they make existing things illegaler, just so that your hard-earned tax money doesn't go to waste.
Based on the stories of people getting bricks in harddrive boxes and such, I'd say it's managed by using the shrinkwrap machine in back to close it back up and put it back on the shelf. Save on labor by not looking in the box first.
I'm sure the whole thing is very well documented, it's just that all that documentation on military activity is wherever the government keeps the rest of the classified information in order to protect themselves^Wus.
the rest of the world plays grande ball with the H.264 format and the superior encoders available for it
Up until Dec 31, 2010 when the patent holders have stated that they're ending the royalty-free period and it becomes the GIF of the video world.
You can bet that with all the money youtube loses now, Google ain't going to pay for millions of H.264 videos and H.264 will literally disappear overnight. I'm sure Google is working overtime on getting that shiny new codec they just bought into chrome, if not firefox. Perhaps they'll write a flash player for it too.
So if the vendor promised to you that they'd continue to support a 6-month-old buggy version that was incapable of downloading new virus signatures, you'd be glad to run that version for 5+ years without updating?
Debian created the -volatile repositories about 5 years ago ( http://www.debian.org/volatile/ ) for keeping up with antivirus and spamcheckers that must be upgraded or become useless.
I think Debian dropped the ball here, Lenny should have shipped with the lenny-volatile repository at least commented out (if not enabled by default), and all of the packages in -volatile being only in -volatile so that people would enable the repository to use them and get updates.
you indicate that you believe at least one of two things:
Or a third: that you believe you are innocent but that the police will twist whatever you say to try and make you look guilty, which is true in just about every situation and jurisdiction. You have a right to remain silent for a reason, and the cops are serious when they say "anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law".
when a child has an indication they can give them help, and since this is a rough pre-selection they can start with very non-invasive projects at the school.
I'm sure you have all your warm fuzzies intact, but our job as pessimists here at slashdot is to think "whatcouldpossiblygowrong" and point out that given the history of zero tolerance policies in school, I'm having a hard time seeing how this is not going to become "-1 tolerance" and expel students before they start a fight. It might not right away, but some ninny is going to show up at a PTA meeting screaming about how her little angel could have been hurt and the school knew it was going to happen and what is being done to keep it from happening again and she's got her lawyers on speed dial and and and.
They're trying to impose harsh restrictions on their copyright but how does it effect consumers of competitors such as Jamendo?
That's what the media player searches are for. Cartels go after the customers of the legit services that don't participate in the cartel in order to keep everyone "in line". Since your "legally acquired" music has no sign (DRM) of being acquired from an RIAA-sanctioned music outlet, it must be illegal. Enjoy carrying around your invoices for every song you've bought from them and/or having your media player seized for months for "analysis" you commie pirate scum!
BTW, if you're anywhere in the shaded area, you can be subject to a border search at any time for any reason. And anyone driving in southern Texas can tell you that this is not theoretical. If you're living in the middle of the country, don't worry, I'm sure that the government will be happy to declare any airport with international arrivals to be a "border" (as well as any river that can be reached from a border) in order to protect the cowering masses from terrorists and illegal aliens and mp3s.
Thirty hours of a forty-hour workweek devoted to meetings? I'm sure managers are getting nervous at the idea you can spend two hours a week on meetings and 38 hours a week getting stuff done.
Just like I have to show that I've gotten something done for the company in order to justify my paycheck, maybe it's time for the meeting-happy managers to show that their meetings have provided value to the company.

Obama will open up the 256.x.y.z network!
and helps provide some border control of undesirable services from inside your network.
Like gaming, teleconferencing...
WTF? I've done this before. Why are the double quotes not quoting the $F?
It's already split up by the "for ... in ..." construct based on the characters set by $IFS (space, tab, newline by default).
In the 1400s and 1500s
Why look that far away? In the 1700s and 1800s, some American colonies (and states) didn't allow Baptists to marry.
Remember that when conservatives write Jefferson out of our history to fit their religious worldview.

let alone get their port forwarding to work for Gears of War
Did the Gears of War developers at least bother to tell you what ports you needed, or did they leave that to be discovered in the forums by a bunch of people guessing random numbers until it kind-of works for some people?
As does spelling not applying on Slashdot.

But I've been trained in C, where it would be i=10
Only if you never want your loop to terminate, since during the loop termination check it would set i to 10, which would never be false.
(int i=1;i<=10;i++) is the correct "numbers from 1 to 10 [inclusive]" answer.
how is the cost of returns managed?

there's no documentation.

Because the number of people who can stand up and say 'I only used bittorrent for legal purposes' is almost 0
Possibly so, but I bet the people who had their Lotus Notes messages blocked certainly have legs to stand on.

If this was posted to Slashdot yesterday
It's probably in the queue to be posted tomorrow.
we would drop said vendor immideately

What's worse, a murderer or someone who willfully wastes 1 minute of 10,000,000 peoples' time?
I dunno, if one of these people who keeps buying stuff from spam gets killed by fake/off-spec pills does that make the spammer a murderer?
Great, we've got a variable constant now.
Don't worry, we'll just set up a system to tweet the new value whenever it changes ;)
Or "Is Mr. X a moron?"
