The legislative analyst projected surpluses of $2.4 billion by June 2014 and $5.6 billion by June 2015. Reserves are projected to continue growing to nearly $10 billion by June 2018.
Yeah, I've seen "projections and promises" like those off and on for nearly two decades on the part of many states. Oddly enough, it doesn't wind up working out. Attempting to counter with Future Money (TM) is no counter at all. Nice try, though.
The technology is great, but I hope those $1M payments are via cashier's check or out of state escrow, as the state of California is dancing on the fine edge of bankruptcy.
The second sentence of your reply was indeed my point, and therein lies an apt description of the single-mindedness exhibited by some leaders of nations. Sometimes that tendency leads to tragedy.
If you think each world leader, regardless of relationship status, doesn't already have ready access to a dozen beautiful girls (or boys), you're significantly more naive than I assumed.
I am indeed still interested in doing the kite thing. I'd appreciate any assistance you could provide in getting touch with the right people. I can be reached most readily at pparadis@palegray.net.
I've worked in hosting, infrastructure, and development for nearly fifteen years. People who care about running Red Hat compatible solutions (frequently for dev or QA environments where RHEL is running in production) deploy CentOS. People who care about RH** certifications deploy CentOS. People who care about deploying mass shared hosting or control panel based solutions crud deploy CentOS. The rest of the world tends to deploy other distributions such as Debian and Ubuntu, or the various BSD flavors.
Given the various train wrecks (political infighting, months without security updates owing the such issues at one point, etc) involving the CentOS project, and given my general love of Debian over the years in terms of stability and security, whenever I have found myself in need of a distribution that pursues RHEL compatibility I simply deploy Scientific Linux. It's a distro maintained by the kind folks at CERN and Fermilab, and gets the job done just fine.
In consideration of recent coverage of the matter, and referencing my previous/. comment on an attempt to promote open source operating systems to kids via kites, I think I'll just go ahead and start producing small scale production of kites with the Ubuntu logo on them. After all, my goal is to support introducing people to Ubuntu, and I honestly don't care what the entity known as Canonical thinks about this anymore. If they care enough, they can sue me if they want, and they can explain it to my kids later. Doing this today, I'll be sure to include a kite with a Debian sail with each Ubuntu kite, just to be sure kids know what Ubuntu is derived from and give credit where it's due.
You, remember, are asking for permission to display a logo where no relationship exists between you and Canonical, and where none is implied.
I won't bother quoting more of your reply, since it's all repetitious regurgitation of the quoted text. You've entirely missed the point that asking for permission to utilize a trademark, in other words asking for a license to use the trademark, is how you establish a relationship. In this case, it would have been for promoting open source operating systems via a means that would have been fairly interesting to kids without trying to deliver the initial message through a computer screen. Damage the mark? Are you serious? You're demonstrating you know absolutely nothing about how trademark dilution of licensing concerns work.
Sadly, there is a huge difference between many of the aims of the Ubuntu community and those of Canonical, and there's a sincere lack of imagination on the part of the latter, at least in terms of the folks they have "answering the phones" in their legal and PR departments. I imagine you'd fit in well, though.
and nothing has the long-term mortality of nicotine
With a BS in neuroscience and an IQ of 151, I made the foolish assumption that you would have been informed enough to know that nicotine isn't what kills tobacco users; it's the countless carcinogens and ancillary destructive compounds in said products that produces fatalities. Nicotine alone, in the dosages consumed by routine users of products containing the chemical, is no more harmful from a physiological perspective than caffeine. Perhaps you should educate yourself further before posting again.
There is a massive difference in promoting something that is nothing more than a simple corporate brand, and promoting something that represents the ideals found in an open source operating system. Ubuntu is supposed to be about its community, but Canonical has increasingly hijacked that goodwill over the years. If you can't see the difference between these two things, I'm sorry dude, I can't help you.
On the laughable topic of profit, see my other comment on the subject. Cheers.
You should probably read my other comment on that point. We're talking about a laughably low level of profit, if you could call it that at the low production levels involved. Meanwhile, apparently it's totally okay for others to sell $20 t-shirts with the Ubuntu logo slapped across them. I wonder if they even bothered asking for permission.
Slashdot Mirror
So fix the compiler, or stop compiling for 32 bit. RAM is cheap, especially when you're talking about the cost per GiB of hundreds of gibibytes of it.
Let's look at some documentation instead of speculating.
Incidentally, the same is true of explosives, amphetamines, and hookers.
I don't have to be a mathematician to say that sounds like one hell of a party.
Oh really.

Roger that:
As soon as you're done reviewing that information, plus what you can find with a simple Google query, kindly go fuck yourself.

Oh my, that was supposed to be a link to a Philosoraptor pic, but it appears I had to wrong URL in my buffer. Sorry about that, folks!
Indeed.
I think you missed something.
It's probably been five years since I saw a TV commercial.

Clever girl
Let's see if Canonical thinks it's silly, meaning let's see if they decide to pursue legal action over it.
That's exactly the point I'm making. Let's see if they challenge it.

There's trolling, and then there's trolling on drugs that only got invented last week. Damn dude, whatever that new stuff is, it's no good for you.

I have a lovely hat for you. It's fashioned from pure curium, and you'll undoubtedly be the first on the block to wear one.

You find the NHTSA tests boring? You must be willing to strap yourself in for a crash test like this, then.
