If you are launching from US soil through US airspace to reach space... Yes, they have jurisdiction over your launch site and path taken to reaching space which they may then use to regulate various things related to your travel.
However now with the minimum wage laws it doesn't work that way. The government now tells employers how much a job is worth.
You have to be kidding me or completely retarded. US minimum wage says no job is worth less than $5.15 an hour. That's piddily.
You absolue free market dorks believe that individuals should undercut each other without relizing the collecting ass fisting workers receive in the end. How we suppossed to buy stuff if we've priced ourselves to the point where we can't afford it?
Yeah it sucked, but does anyone remember the Robin William's movie Toy's? The whole plot was about the military using a toy company to create video games which would develop skills useful in the military. It sounded farcical 12 years ago.
Just read/usr/ports/UPDATING and the note about the xorg ports. In it are the commands for handling the conversion with portupgrade. The conversion will only directly affect you if you are running the -CURRENT CVS branch.
If you are using a release point (4.10, 5.2.1, etc.) or the -STABLE CVS branch then this will not directly afect you. That is unless you decide to force your release to use xorg over the XFree86 ports. If you're running one of these versions and are concerned about doing the update, just leave well enough alone and you will be fine.
If enough people just don't vote for either of the idiots, then maybe the people running the parties will work harder to find decent canidates however in a typical election the number of people that don't pick one of the two major parties is so small it doesn't matter.
Good point. I seriously think that today's political climate is designed to drive people away. For simplicity's sake we'll neglect the electoral college in this example. If only 10% of the electorate turns out and canidate "A" receives a majority of the total votes cast (which would be >5% of the total electorate) then canidate A wins. There is no incentive for change because someone will always win. Forget the fact that our government derives their legitamacy from the people. Most people I find aren't really aware of that and feel it is their duty to vote and support the system no matter what they're given to choose from.
In case you're wondering, I openly advocate not voting in the hopes that the current political climate will "go away" (not exist because the people no longer recognize it) and we can start with a fresh system. We did that once before remember... Think of it as a total scratch rewrite.:)
"A BSD user almost *has* to know about Linux to get a lot of stuff running on BSD..."
You are utterly retarded. A *BSD user needs only to know basic UNIX concepts to get stuff running. In fact, to use linux effectivly the same is also true.
"Most Open Source/FSF/GPL software is built for Linux."
...And probably runs on *BSD as well. Check http://www.freshports.org for a list of the FreeBSD ports tree.
Has anyone seriously thought about using AIBOs to detect wireless access points? Why not let them roam freely around a building looking for insecure or unauthorized access points? You could use the camera on the AIBO to take a picture of the location so that a human can investigate the situation later. Heck, could you unleash a pack of them and attempt to triangulate the source of a signal?
What's the problem with a government acting in the interests of it's people? They're just helping to protect national health. I mean when was the last time you ate at Red Lobster and weren't sick afterwards?
Is there a link to the original ESRC study? Reading a newspaper digested synopsis of serious scientific research is like reading the slashdot summary of something without ever clicking on links to the original article and thinking you know what's going on. (Anyone remember the Melbourne Man Patents... The Wheel article and the comments that came up?)
When newspapers digest serious research we get a lot of misinformation. I remember when the media reported a study a few years back that found early North American inhabitants were white causing much uproar and discussion. The original research used the word caucizoid which means caucasian features, not white, but was retermed caucasian in the media. This difference caused much of the debate to become confussed over racial issues that should have never entered the picture because most people relied on the media's interpretation and not the research itself to form opinions.

The guy asked for a picture so I provided one. Why was that modded down?

Right, just like each state has their own FAA...

This is obviously spam... C'mon, Monica? A girl posting on Slashdot?!?!?!
OpenBSD up until 3.5 has used BIND4 by default. It was their own self maintained fork of the program.
Your link says "The connection was refused". Definitely must be your wife's site. :)

DVD player kills YOU!
That's why you write your scripts for sh since posix says that sh shall exist on your system.
I have FreeBSD instead, less people will think it's a nasty venereal disease.
For some reason it sounds to me like taking a clock radio, removing the radio, and calling it something new. *shrug*

Ummmm... Is it a bad sign when a serious idea of mine is modded up as funny?

In Soviet Russia, supermodels jerk off to you?
Only if those supermodels are from the chernobyl area.
First there was SCO Amends Suit, Clarifies "Violations", Triples Damages where the C|Net article mentions that his son is defending SCO. And now this...
Who needs a beowulf cluster in Soviet Russia when you can have Orrin Hatch instead!
