I think the biggest advantage we have over Windows users though, is that No flavor of outlook or Internet Explorer will run under linux, at least, not without a lot of work.
True, from a security standpoint is just horrible. Outlook is a different story. The idea of a scriptable email-client isn't bad as such, it's the combination with stupid/ignorant users that is. Granted, that windows defaults to quiet liberal permissions for users is a problem, but again, any competent admin would fix this. Anyway my point is, there isn't as many ignorant UNIX-users who would connect an unfirewalled box to the internet as there are Windows-user doing the same. This, I think, is mostly because there are more Windows than UNIX-users, but also partly because UNIX-users tend to be less ignorant of security-issues. NOT because one OS is inherently more secure.
The same thing you just said could be said about any OS! Instead of "deny everything" try to explain why these numbers are wrong for Linux and not for the other OSes. Every time some evidence of any UNIX, and especially Linux, being unsecure comes up there are people declaring that the evidence is faulty because UNIX is secure...
Though this will propably be moderated as flamebait I must say that if you take the same care to secure your windowsboxes as you do with your UNIXboxes you will be rewarded with, surprise, secure boxes all over. Windows isn't inherently insecure as well as UNIX secure.
Sanskrit (or rather samskrta) means "ordered". Ordered because the works of the great grammarians Panini et al. actually was the genesis of Sanskrit.
So, the deep algorithmic aspects of Sanskrit actually have more to do with Panini himself than with a feature of natural language. Ie. those algorithmic aspects are in a way there because Panini wanted them to be, not because they were there in the actual spoken Prakrit.
Last, but not least, the works of Panini should be a mandatory read not only by linguists, but by all people who in one form or another works in the field of philosophy and logic.
One of the reasons for being able to interoperate with the GPL is that it's a neutral copyleft and it's pretty much the only neutral copyleft. As long as you can interoperate with it, so can anyone else's project who also chooses either the GPL or a license that interoperates.
So what you are saying is that GPL-compatible licenses allows a project to use code from a which's license is GPL-compatible. Now that is very observant of you sir! May I please hire you for future license-consultation!
You're right, I'm wrong (see, wasn't too hard). When trying to impress the/. crowd with my enormous collection of _data_, I forgot to process it. My bad.
As for Texas, of course it's no longer a part of Mexico. As for India, it is by my logic as much a part of Pakistan as the other way around.
Hope any of this makes sense, clock beint late, me being drunk, english not my language of choice...
...shows your utter lack of basic geographical knowledge... And shows your utter lack of historical knowledge a well;-) (and probably the parent's post too). Pakistan where a part of the crown colony India until 1948.
A crash course in copyright law: 1. Unless stated otherwise, you aren't allowed to copy a copyrighted work! 2. But it says copyrighted! Yes, the right of making copies granted to the author.
And now, you wouldn't blatantly copy a book giving away free copies. Why would you do otherwise with software.
So, unless clearly stated, you can't redistribute any copyrighted work.
Doesn't this mean that nobody else is allowed to distribute it?
No, the GPL isn't the only way for distributing source code. The code could be in the public domain (or no license), allowing anyone to use/distribute it, it could well be under a BSD style license which would allow anyone to do whatever with the code.
And no, whichever way the code is licensed Microsoft couldn't lose source code. As this is a standalone fix using the IE COM interface the code doesn't link to any Microsoft object code. Therefore the GPL doesn't apply.
Iraq would colapse into an Al Queda haven if we were to leave now.
Tell me 1. Why would this happen? And 2. Why would it happen in Iraq, the most secular of all arab countries. Heck, even the president himself has denied that there were any connection between the Iraqi regime and Al-qaida.
Second, ox is a noun of the old weak declension, or a n-stem, whereas the noun brother with the arcaic plural brethren is a noun of the root-declension.
Third, neither of these declensions are very productive, and neither of them have been for a very long time. Therefore it's all the better if you decline box/boxes than any old plural of which you have no idea how to use properly.
Fourth, boxen doesn't sound cool, it just shows your lack of knowledge of linguistics.
Fifth and last, this is funny, how come that people who knows, and correctly so, that language is a constantly evolving system use that knowledge to defend a plural like boxen, when some mechanism of language they doesn't know of contradict that statement?
In modern english, n-stem plural, like that of oxen is an anomaly and shouldn't be allowed to spread and contaminate an already irregular language even more.
Also - 3Ware controllers don't take kindly to simply powering off the machine - graceful shutdown is necessary to avoid a long array verification (and fsck) when coming back up.
Complaining about fsck is out of order, since you can't possibly expect the RAID card to handle a clean unmount of the filesystem, which is done in software, not hardware.
As for time to verify the RAID-array, that is a legal complaint, though to me it seems more like a feature. I for sure wouldn't like booting up only to see a the array corrupted.
Is a 64-page proposal with snaked-columns and pictures and graphs, a paragraph???
On one hand, you've just showed that AbiWord isn't limited to writing small paragraphs.
On the other hand the fact that AbiWord doesn't do footnotes makes it useless for much scientific work. If you for some reason or another has to use Oxford notation for references you can't use AbiWord.
The ending crates, or more correctly krates as used in proper names is derived from kratos meaning power (compare with greek aristokratos). The meaning of the name Hippokrates would best be rendered as horsetamer.
I knew my education in greek would eventually pay off, Hoorah!

A propos RISC vs CISC, the g4 has more instructions than a recent x86 chip. Now which chip was the RISC chip?
You're dead on about power consumption though...
I am the English grammar fetishist ;-)
Actually, it's spelled fetischist
Therefore, most of the Nordea banks have signs reading "Divorced Man inc." at the bottom

Just curios, but surely 3m is more like 10 feet than nine? I just can't seem to get a hang on imperial metrics.

probably paralleling vixen as the plural of fox since vaxes sounds rather ugly.
Vixen is singular of a noun 'female fox', not an old plural for fox. Vixen is derived from the same root as fox though.
Repeat the following ad nauseam: Dice is the singular of the noun dices.
Come on, this is what differs and elevate us pen and paper types from and above them, those computer gamers (scoffs)
First, it's irregular, not illegular ;-).

Now what better could you ask for?
