Can somebody explain to me why an indexing system, which simply provides a catalog of what's on a network, is "a sophisticated network designed to enable widespread music thievery"? What if nobody was sharing music? I'm concerned, because if this precedent is set, then potentially any program whatsoever that can be used illegally will be illegal. I don't want that to happen.

I maintain that those sentences make perfect sense and that my usage of each word is correct.
How about this sentence? D00d, ima write sum txt cuz im l33t.
Would you consider that correct usage? Sure, language evolves, but some things are just clearly wrong and I assert that social pressure is and should be used to resist such useless changes. For words such as decimate, the damage is already done, but words like literally can still be salvaged.

Making a white page requires running the pulp through a bit of bleach. Bleach is easy (i.e. cheap) to make. Making a black page, on the other hand, requires running the pulp through a bunch of black ink, which is more expensive to make.

That's completely, 100% false. Look closely at a monitor that's on but black with a magnifying glass some time, and compare it to the same monitor that's off. You'll notice that when it's on, the phospohors are glowing only because of leakage from the electron gun, and not because it's somehow actively painting black onto the screen.

Yes, but the mask behind it is not - it's naturally black. In this case I think what the original poster is complaining about is that the monitor is actively glowing, whereas the paper is just reflecting the room light. That means that if the monitor is not properly adjusted for the surrounding light levels, it will be difficult to read the small patches of darkness amid a sea of glowing white.
I don't think 256-bits of evilness strength and type code will be enough granularity for the amount of variety observed in the way certain popular operating systems crash in response to an attack.
I fail to see how Gentoo doesn't have most of what you ask for above, i.e., nano is installed by default, use 'emerge' as a standard interface to install programs, automatic dependency checking, etc. Also, your statement that "with Linux, Notepad is called VI" is patently false. There is no standard default editor in Linux (remember, Linux is just a kernel). If you want nano, install it, if your distro doesn't install it by default like Gentoo does. In fact, the only thing you ask for that Gentoo doesn't seem to already have is a united KDE/Gnome, and of course they can't do that.
No, no, no! The space elevator is just the first step towards building The Big Mirror (giant parabolic mirror around the sun with its focus at a point on Earth's orbit). Glorious will be the day when the entire sky lights up as bright as the sun and half the Earth boils away into space!
That concept applies whenever any rational person is in a position to judge another's conduct based on evidence provided by a supposedly-injured party.
I burn CDs at 4x, mainly because my burner won't go any faster, but even if it did, I've had enough bad experiences with discs burned at 24x that I'm willing to wait for it. Seriously, not everybody requires blazing speed, especially for a one-time thing like filling a 20G hard drive with oggs. In this case, I chose the extra feature of being able to read DVDs over fast burning speeds, and I think a lot of people would be willing to sacrifice transfer speed for the ability to play oggs. I know I would.
You silly people and your bit micro-management! Real programmers write a specification and let the compiler translate it into machine code. Remember: Given a sufficiently intelligent compiler, all code is optimal! Now we just need to get the compiler writers to do their jobs...
So, don't use OTPs in situations where the plaintext is likely to be known by an attacker and not the recipient. Situations like that are pretty rare. It's just a matter of using the right encryption tool for the job.
OTPs make great authentication systems for insecure channels such as telnet.
Look, the idea behind a one-time-pad is that the attacker doesn't know the pad. Therefore, knowing what segment of the pad is being used does you no good. And you can't "solve for the pad" because there are as many bits of entropy in the pad as there are bits of information in the message.
Short of stealing the pad (which should have been thoroughly destroyed after use), there's no way of breaking an OTP scheme.
(d) You must make Source Code of all Your Externally Deployed Modifications publicly available under the terms of this License, including the license grants set forth in Section 3 below, for as long as you Deploy the Covered Code or twelve (12) months from the date of initial Deployment, whichever is longer.
and the definition of "Deploy" (1.5):
1.5 "Deploy" means to use, sublicense or distribute Covered Code other than for Your internal research and development (R&D) and/or Personal Use
So it sounds like R&D and personal use are okay, but using it internally in a company means you have to give a link to the source in the about box.

Right, like the RIAA really lost $97.8 trillion worth of potential income from STUDENTS.
Let's evolve some language right now:

There might be some useful information here.

Yeah, because we all know how easily files with resource forks could be transferred across the Internet in Mac OS
Why not just post all articles five times in a row? Then we'll be sure to see it!

As long as I can bulk enter a couple of hundred transactions with out getting yelled to save each and every one (gnu-cash).
You know, since it's open source, that sounds like it'd be pretty trivial to remove.
You mean it stops flashing, pulsing, twirling, genie-ing, being translucent, and generally wasting my CPU cycles?

He was talking about console logins. Try actually reading the post before claiming that it's false next time.
Idiot.

I AM TRANISTOR. Your debugging skills are no match for my computational power. MUAHAHAHA!
Only ASM itself is real programming.

And cheaper. And free (libre). Oh, and more secure. And available for more platforms.
Yes, I understand what you mean now.

As long as we always have things like Fluxbox in addition to KDE/GNOME, I'll be happy.
I think you've mistaken Iowa for Ohio
