This is actually my biggest problem with the Greens: they can never get elected, because they'll never get the funding...
I used to think that money made the world go 'round and felt it was hopeless to work against it, but at some point I guess I realized it's better to hope and try and fail than not.
For the Greens to win, they have to appeal to the working class, and for many people, Environment + Anti-corporate + Pro worker = Socialism
Let me let you in on a secret: In most cases in the US, Green == Socialist. My local Pacific Greens was initially a merger with a nascent Green group and the local Socialist party. There are some die-hards like Walt Brown who keep the state Socialist Party alive, but for all intents and purposes we are the Socialist party.
At some point the old codgers who bought into the Cold War crap will die off and humanity can begin to dream and work toward those dreams again.
(Care to take a true democratic vote on civil rights in 1860 America?)
In other words, having allowed women, blacks and 18-20 year-olds to properly vote on civil rights issues in 1860? Yes, I suspect elections would have turned out differently.
Besides, you're ignoring the fact that democracy is a process, not a state of being. Democracy is more than just having elections every few years--democracy requires involvement of the demos. And you don't get that by effectively disenfranchising 50% of the population by not making sure they're educated in their responsibilities and in the topics at hand, by not making sure everyone's vote counts, and by ignoring other viewpoints as those of the "looney fringe".
Um, it's just a mild amount of phosphoric acid. Try it with other acids, like lemon or tomato juice. Of course you'd be foolish to waste money on lemon or tomato juice when Coke is cheaper. Now, the refined sugar, caffeine and murderous anti-labor activities *are* something to be concerned about.
It's like that "big deal" that Taco Bell sauce cleans pennies... It's just vinegar in action; you'd get the same effect with a $100 bottle of fine Balsamic vinegar.
It's relevant to the extent that if either assertion is true, the other is moot (NB: not mute) and Connolly's case falls on its face. It would seem that Furthermore redistributing the modified code would be easier to discover, since a code comparison relys on Connolly providing his code.
Yes, 163/164 is the breaking point, now that you point it out, at least on Solaris 8. I don't actually code in a terminal that wide, but often when I'm doing sys admin work I maximize one of the terms to tail or view a log, which happens to be 165 characters wide on my laptop. I rarely return the window to it's original size immediately and open something to edit and *bam*, puke-city.
How do you write if off your taxes if you're a regular employee? I was under the impression it was only a write-off if you were a contractor or business?
92nd Street Dancers! Not as bad as the Boom Boom Room (East or West), but nothing to bother visiting... I happen to live about 30 blocks west on Foster.
And most of the Intel places I know of are in Hillsboro, not Tualatin, although there are a number of high-tech places there, some of which are my customers...
Tejas is the Spanish name for Texas. Cascades are our little stretch of mountains here in the Pacific Northwest. Tualatin is also a suburb of Portland, just to the south, part of the Silicon Forest. Tulsa also happens to be a sizable city in Oklahoma.
I'm sure there will be hordes of Slashtrolls repeating this, but doesn't this pretty much qualify as obvious? You'll probably not find a paper written about it because it's too dumb to actually write a paper about. Since URLs are plain text, it's pretty obvious to send URLs in any plain text transmission medium, like e-mail, fax, instant message, text file via FTP, dial-up BBS, etc. (I didn't say it wouldn't be dumb, just obvious.) Once you've established that sending a URL via e-mail is obvious, the purpose of the transmission should be rather irrelevant, I think.
At any rate, you might also check that sending a telephone number with an electronic reciept is either obvious or published, then you can make the arugment that an URL and a telephone number in this case serve analogous functions, so the application of an URL instead of a telephone number (or fax-back number for that matter) is likewise obvious or otherwise unpatentable.
I'm a fan of the Lamy Safari myself for day-to-day use. I have a beautiful Mont Blanc Meisterstueck that is too expensive for daily use. Both pens are noticably larger in circumference than your average disposable pen--don't be afraid of a thick pen. Men's hands (and I assume you're male, since you're on Slashdot) have less fine motor control than women's, so a thicker writing instrument and larger strokes, with practice, will almost certainly make for better handwriting. Practice of course is not secondary, but it's something I've never entirely worked out, although my handwriting has improved with a better pen and larger writing. A medium or thicker nib will also help keep you from destroying it and force you to write larger.
Taking care of tendonitis or carpal tunnel or other similar afflictions is also necessary. I've noticed my writing has gotten much worse as my RSI has gotten worse. I've found that I am most comfortable using two college-ruled lines. (Yes, I should probably take my own advice.)
As a former employee of WireX, I can tell you there was little government control--It was a grant-funded project by a company that does a lot of security projects funded by DARPA. The control was effective to the degree that the government approved the grant proposal and did enough follow-up to make sure the requirements for the proposal were fulfilled; it's not as if there were NSA guys standing around in black suits watching what we did (at least, none in the open that I saw).
My limited experience with pair-programming was quite the opposite. I felt I developed a stronger relationship with my programming partners, who were nearly strangers to me. Of course, we weren't forced into doing pair-work by some sadistic professor--we were motivated by an interest and curiosity. I've also found pair-programming reduces the Slashdot Temptation--the compulsive reloading of Slashdot and reading e-mail, which can be disastrous to someone with an attention as fragile as mine is.
Yes, and WHEN I invent cold fusion and the perpetual motion machine it will be worth TRILLIONS! Invest in me now! It may never pay off, but if it does we'll be Masters of the Universe!

The point is that that justification for its existance is moot.

#1 is a damn good point. If he's licensed the code (taken money for its use), he's effectively distributed it and he changes are redistributable.

Heh, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one then ;)

Ooooh... So you are the reason D. C. is at orange now.

Theist agnostics or atheist agnostics?

Do you have any good references to this therapy? (Perhaps something slightly more filtered than a raw Google search)

Oddly enough, I learned calculus from a former punk rocker who spent as much time in bars as I did--he graded papers while I did homework.
In summary, I don't think there's a better solution than DocBook, despite the fact that it does not fulfill all of your requirements.
This might be relevant only for b, but using channel 11 will considerably reduce interference from cordless phones. I'm assuming it applies to g also.

Not quite like Vonnegut predicted...
Not even that good. It gets converted to coax and connects to the VCR/DVD player, which has a dinkly little set of rabbit-ears (w/o bowtie).
