Saying you will provide this service on best-effort terms in return for cookies/lawn-mowing/kid-collecting etc is your best, friendliest, non-legally dangerous way of doing this. A great idea that I shall probably copy.
Collecting kids is legal? Do you need to put them in the basement so they don't run away? I do assume you don't squish'm and put 'm in books like lizards since they might be a wee bit too big for that. Is there some sort of reference list where all the different types are listed and where you can hook up with folks that might wanna trade kids they have double?

lemme guess, someone gave you an education. which, as we all know, is somewhat like a transmittable sexual disease. it makes you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and you have the urge to pass it on.
flaming MS? I've been happily using XP since it came out. that doesn't change the fact that i have seen plenty of occasions where a single app could bring the system to a grinding halt, including some of the crap i wrought myself in my early C coding days;-)
mostly poorly-written games, but last time i checked those were considered applications.
Not only that. This is going to be an OS that ships with Thunderbird and Firefox *by default*. iow, following the same concept used to shove IE down everybody's throat.
That's the problem with communism in practice. It is based on a mistaken view of human nature. Human's aren't naturally good/caring/giving people, they're mostly selfish bastards that couldn't care less what happens outside their white picket fence so long as it doesn't affect them or their family/friends. The whole concept of a "greater good" quickly goes down the drain when there's mortgages/car payments/diapers that need getting paid for one way or another.
We should foil all their plots by going back to pre-80's technology levels. Aye, pre-1880 levels. Let them try hijacking horse-pulled buggies and drive them into buildings!
Not to mention the fun we'll have shooting all them terrorist-communication-thingy-spreading-pigeon-th ingamabobs!
> If firefox wants to sell security, they need to appear secure. Not having the installed signed isn't a good marketing tactic.
Bullshit. it needs to BE secure, not appear to be secure. Apperance is deception, and all a secure appearance does is make people not pay attention.
His points are perfectly valid from a marketing point of view, which is what he's adressing. Marketing does not give a shit about what something is, all they care about is what it appears to be. Once it turns out to be a cat in a bag it's not their problem anymore.
I call BS. the 20 minutes is a fact. If I hooked this pc up directly to the web instead of through a firewall, with a clean install of winxp and let it running for 20 minutes, I can practically guarantuee it'll get hit by something.
just because a sun isn't a black hole doesn't mean it doesn't have any gravity...and don't you have the nerve of disbelieving that, the universe might decide to agree with you and slingshot all of us into the black depths...
Which is why I'm set to away all the time. Somehow the fact that when i move my mouse after coming home from work means everyone instantly knows I'm back bothers me, it really does.
just wait till they find out they're built in france. i visited the place at one point, there's like an entire village pretending to be a car factory, or the other way around. looks pretty nifty tho.
the odds of mice interfering with each other at a lan party are slim at best, and even if they do, only one of the interfering parties needs to change channels and voila, problem solved.
as for cable clutter it's not just a matter of the cord getting in the way, cords on a desk are just plain ugly. not to mention that the space taken up by cords can now be used to put papers, pretty trinkets etc.
there's lots and lots and lots and lots of films and movies around this very concept. in fact, pretty much all those storylines can be summarized in 3 words "people are stupid".
kinda like me walking around the neighbourhood and then telling you where you can buy illegally copied DVD's? or at least "obtain" them one way or another. one *could* argue that in doing so i'm somehow being an accessory. ofc the argument isn't entirely valid considering google scours the web for everything there is to find, not just this kinda stuff.
no? i can think of all sorts of ways of punishing people for being stupid...or at least having acted stupidly. simply up the ante on "stupid" acts. get caught drinking and driving? that'll be your license please. no, not for 3 months. forever. you're never ever touching the steering wheel of a car again. i leave it as an exercise to think of appropriate punishment for someone who had his license revoked in this fashion and is found driving a vehicle anyway.
no, it is not. just because 40% of the population always votes democrats and another 40% of the population always votes republican does not mean that this is actually normal...those 80% could actually choose to turn their brain on for 5 minutes and consider what they're doing instead of simply voting what they always vote, what their parents always voted, and so on, and so on...
you don't have a job, and there's 2 possible reasons. a) if this guy worked 40 hours, there'd be 40 more left for someone else. b) you're a troll and noone will hire you. you pick.

depends whether he's wearing the typical fatigues uses in SG-1 or one of those cool peacekeeper outfits. i vote for the latter.
when watching Buffy i kept expecting the principal to start asking for bribes in gold-plated platinum...alas, no such luck.

Am I the only one who pictured boob implants bouncing around under their own power!
;-)
Reality took hold however as I read the article.
Whatever it is you took hold of while reading an article about bouncing boob implants, feel free not to inform is about it
does an emperor picture in this tale anywhere?

not to mention the fact that 95000 dollars in japan != 95000 dollars in the usa...
you don't even *have* to. It's turned off by default and you have to manually enable the option during install. at least, for me it was.
no, it is not. just because 40% of the population always votes democrats and another 40% of the population always votes republican does not mean that this is actually normal...those 80% could actually choose to turn their brain on for 5 minutes and consider what they're doing instead of simply voting what they always vote, what their parents always voted, and so on, and so on...

Personally, I don't see any real reason for this. But there may be some.
One word: Ramdrive.
