If you are not a supporter of terrorism, and if you don't hate America then, this is simple math.
Judge + ((Bush support for what is on trial + far right conservative ideals)/case against what is on trial) = A
Now the higher the judge in the US legal system the higher the value for Judge. If more than one judge is involved in a single ruleing then add all Judge values together. For example a unanimous ruling of the US Supreme Court would have a Judge value equal to about 2.
If A is greater than 0 then the judgement in question has been made by an insane activist judge and is further evidence that the US is being held back by its outdated judicial branch.
Why does slackware even bother making a screenshot tour? From my understanding it is a stability oriented platform with a focus on the terminal interface.

No. The going rate is at least three retarded kids per router. You might be able to get a dumb hub, or 20ft of cat5 cable per kid depending on just how retarded they are.
Lets not forget that there is another alternative to one or the other theory being right, and that this alternative is far more likely, almost certain in fact.
The option is that neither of these theories are correct or rather neither is entirely correct. Both may still be partially true, and probably both are to a certain extent.
Newton was right on with his theories, yet they were proven to be incorrect, and they are still the first thing a physics student learns today. I find the idea of "if phenomina A exists then phenomina B, that we have also have some evidence for, cannot exist" because when you get right down to it we don't understand our universe we perceive it.
Well there is also the problem of what words are "innocent" as many words in the English language have alternate meanings. This will be one that will give a very interesting court case if it goes through and is enforced.
Be wary. Wars are waged more over competition for resources than any other reason.
This is what truely worries me. Look today at Iran, and especially at North Korea.
The point to sending colonies out into space is not to "ween" us from our high energy and resource consumption. The point is to make it harder for our species to be destroyed by a single event. While a change in out culture can save us from ourselves there are many things in this universe that are far far far beyond our control.
Everyone can wake up tommorow all with the mind to live in perfect peace and harmony with each other and with nature. We could bring the earth back into the balance it once had and build a utopia. And the next day a rock could fall from the sky and everyone dies just as surely as if we remained the same as we are now.
I think the arguements here are really just distiguishing between the word theft when used in standard speech (which organizations like the RIAA often work to change the meaning of to include "piracy" --which also didn't originally have anything to do with copyright infringment either) and "theft" in legal terms.
The RIAA wants people to think that copyright infringment is the same as theft, and previosly the word "piracy" has been coined to go with creative matirial to mean copyright infrngment. This allows them to use more moral leverage against those who infringe. Most people would think little wrong of someone walking through a lawn that is clearly posted "Don't walk on the grass." but would think they are doing wrong if they were to walk through an area marked "No Tresspassing on the lawn." However legally, if such an issue were to be pushed, walking on grass where you were not allowed to walk on is tresspassing.
Hand delivery is still a form of transmission and can still be intercepted, even if it is a lot harder. Thus there is still a need for incryption of such things.
Microsoft just felt threatened by Google starting to wear the evil dress. So to make up for it MS has shown off some evil it has been keeping on a back burner.
>>And morons will get just what they deserve in the end, don't be one of them.
No they don't. The fact that anyone "gets what they deserve" is merely coincidental. The universe does not care.
While behaving in ways that are considered to be moronic might seem to increase the likelyhood of "getting what one deserves." It is merely because we define moronic often to mean behaviors that are likely to get one in trouble.
In other words if this "." in quotes is you, then the universe still does not have any feelings to care about you.
I suppose the REAL debate is not over if MS is a true Monopoly, but if it is being unlawfully, unethically, or harmfully monopolistic. After all, monopolies in and of themselves are not bad things. It is their effects and the abuse of the powers that are granted by the state of monopoly over time that is what becomes harmful.
The questions in my mind are: A: Is MS illegally Monopolistic by its sheer size and control of the market (regardless of how it uses that size and control.)?
B: Is MS illegally Monopolistic in its practices? Is it wrongly taking advantage of its size and power through its market share?
C: Is MS unfair in its practices, even if not outright illegal, using its size and market share unfairly to its advantage over its buyers and competitors?
D: Is MS's size and market share causing any negative or harmful effects on the computer industry and the state of the computing world? If so what are these hinderances and their causes?
E: What if anything should be done and by whom to correct any problems with the current state of the computer industry as it applies to consequences of MS's effects on the industry?
Sorry guys, but well the icon is well to put it mildly boring, ugly and unappealing.
I don't claim to really be an expert but I imagine that Tux and the bsd daemon are some of the best icons out there because they are cute and good looking as well as because they stand for good stuff. This glider icon, while I do get the significance is just too simple in my opinion. It uses three colors has no shading and just isn't easy on the eyes.
A mascot works best if people want to look at it dangit!
What do they gain? Code that works without having to go through the trouble of makeing their own.
If this is an April fools I would like to point out that april fools are supposed to be something that might possably happen but really did not.
Is it just me or would it not be incredably funny if someone were to send the RIAA a gift basket of CDs copied off of the "copy protected" disc?
I mean come on. If you can get the music out of it, then you are able to copy it. I know the next wave!
Yeah, unreadable CDs! Discs which woln't let anyone read them without the proper armed gaurd looking over your shoulder...no wait that wouldn't work. Someone would just steal the player their useing and make a normal CD with it.

Just because he has a keyboard style named after him why does this make his thoughts worthy of Slashdotting?

Exactly that's why we(the US) left.

No. The feat is not opening the laptop but keeping it closed, grasshopper.
Don't you know that the Nasghoul's current gig is finding and slaying those very ambulance chasers?
No. He said FreeBSD, not BSD was the one with horns and faintly glowing.
I wonder what else you could do with formation flying satalites?
Oooh put a bunch of high power leds or lasers on those suckers and you could use them as pixels. Pop-ups IN SPAAACE!
