And frankly, I'm tired of people telling me that I need to give up my privacy so they can (theoretically) feel safer. In Soviet Russia, they didn't feel safe even without that pesky privacy...

The lyrics to war pigs (Verres Militares) are as such:
Centuriones convenerunt sicut magi sacris nigris-- mentes malae destructionis artifices omnes mortis. Campis corpora comburit belli machina laborans. Mors et lis humanitati perturbarunt mentes sanas.
Eheu, Deus!
Venefici se abstrudunt nunc, qui bellum inceperunt. Ipsi pugnam cur ineant? Cogunt ire pauperes, vae!
Poena subit verribus, qui per jocum belland. Gentes tractant sicunt pecudes, dum nigra venit hora, vae!
Nunc tenebris munus horret, cum auditis: flammae torrent. Verres non jam habent nervos. Dei manus trudit fervens. Hora nigra Dei advenit. Supplicantes verres repunt, peccatores precanture. Satan ridet, laetatur.
Eheu, Deus!
I dunno about you, but I don't see any resemblance from this song to the current "military action" in Iraq. First, the Iraqi speak arabic, and the very likely, none of the invading forces speak Latin. Unless you were making a thinly veiled reference to this being a police action.
"After all, we would rail against a bill requiring MS products to be considered."
Why? It just says that they have to be considered, not that they have to be used. Requiring consideration is very different from requiring usage.
Requiring usage would be anti-competitive, but requiring consideration is pro-competition. Unfortunately, requisitions are always written so that only the program they want will work, so even if you consider using a competitor, it won't fit all the requirements for the requisition.
Think about it... do you want the type of people who want clear cases breeding? Sure, you could argue that they aren't likely to breed anyway, but this is just an extra precaution.
That's why I (as a card-carrying paranoid whacko) take apart my cell-phone every night before bed.
First I was fine just removing the battery... but then I remembered that capacitors carry a residual charge, and if I remembered that, then the Man knows it. So, now I take apart each individual component, except for the LCD...
You don't think they can track me by the LCD do you?
Well, since the code in question they distribute in Caldera, it means that we -do- have the right to distribute.
It's in the GPL, section 7.
They cannot restrict the patent to GPL'ed software that has only been released by them. If they do so, they cannot distribute under the GPL, which means they cannot distribute the code at all, and they cannot make it a part of their Linux Distribution.
If Caldera is using their Patents in their GPL OS, then they have to give open use of all patents to everyone, or they cannot distribute their code under the GPL. If they are making modifications to their Linux OS with concepts under the patent, then they cannot distribute their Linux OS. Correct? Since they are precluding usage of their patented code by anyone else, then they are adding additional restrictions to the GPL which makes it no longer "free".
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
I seriously doubt that every cd will be "winable", more likely, they have a limited run of "winable" cd's, followed by a larger run of cd's with limited winnings (like five or ten dollars), which the majority of scratch-off "winnings" are.
They'll probably have one cd that can win the "grand prize", and that one is probably at the bottom of the St. Charles River in Quebec.
1. What are you going to do with a bare-bones laptop without a display? Where do you propose to obtain a display?
The joke is partly at the company for selling a quasi-useless laptop case.
The other part is at the prevailing opinion of the trolls on Slashdot that all/.ers should boycott the MPAA, hence my getting movies from Blockbuster, rather than giFT.
Slashdot Mirror
This is the same website that the vast majority of readers complain because .doc incompatibility, Microsoft breaking Kerberos, XML and shit! HTML.
How can you condone breaking ONE standard, and on the other hand vilify breaking another?
Pot... this is kettle... you are black. Repeat, you are black.
So did I... are you my mom?
It's so good, it even mirrors the slashdotted state of the original...
And frankly, I'm tired of people telling me that I need to give up my privacy so they can (theoretically) feel safer. In Soviet Russia, they didn't feel safe even without that pesky privacy...
No, I'm refering to Contact the book, not Contact the movie.
That was a pattern in Pi, not a pattern in primes.
Damn, Gnu hippies, always shoving RMS, and ESR into everything.
It is not illegal to modify equipment you've purchased.
He still maintains options, and is paid yearly no matter the financial state of the company.
and the mirrors are all slashdotted to hell.

That's just... unpatriotic.
konsole.
It's faster to type some shit in, than to click and wave a soap-bar^Wmouse around.

The good, Intuit gets punished for being stupid.
The bad, the Lawyers are going to win either way.
The ugly... the picture of Scott Gulbransen(an intuit spokesweasel) in the red thong bikini...
Yuck.

Good one Caldera.
I was commenting on the write-up, that states that "crackers" are going to win all the money.
I seriously doubt that every cd will be "winable", more likely, they have a limited run of "winable" cd's, followed by a larger run of cd's with limited winnings (like five or ten dollars), which the majority of scratch-off "winnings" are.

If it looks like UNIX, acts like UNIX and runs the source found on "legacy" UNIX systems, well, what is it?
A DUCK!
Hmm... I'll make sure he gets a copy.
From Dennis Ritchie's point of view, Linux is Unix. So, if Dell is switching from Solaris to Red Hat, then Unix really isn't all that dead.
In light of becoming a registrar, Amazon is going to patent no-click domain registration.
And then muscle everyone out of business even Verisign!
Sad thing is, I'm not sure which is worse.
If you had read the article, rather than just glancing through it... those were the terminal emulators he used.
Eterm was affected, Putty, Xterm, and Rxvt.
I'm going to have to endure ANOTHER 15 hour build of XFree when I go to emerge something innocuous...
I REALLY need to remember emerge -p
