Yes it's a Tradmark owned by Linus. William De LaCroche Jr. used to own an illegitmate trademark on Linux, this was overturned in 1997 and the trademark rightly given to Linus and the internet community.
I was going to say something to the effect that the Indian government used a nuke in the past year! Which is different than using it over 50 years ago during a global war. The revisionist historians would have you believe otherwise.
But since you talk about "abosolute power corrupts absolutely." I'll agree, and add a corollary by saying that Politics is the only profession where a person can attain power without merit.
Incidentally, the US now has a very small military for its (US') size.
I know "fag" has a significantly different meaning depending on which side of the pond you are on.
BTW.... I remember a UK journalist covering the Kobe earthquake. He kept calling the town "ko bee" which in Japanese is the verb for animals in the act of conceiving young. My Japanese friend almost wet his pants laughing so hard.
I thought this practice came from Africa. (Kenya/Tanzania or West Africa) The "locals" were puzzled when the Europeans grew single crops rather than a multi-crop field.
Interesting...didn't know that. Thanks.

I think that the companies would be better off working on helping plants to be more disease resistant and need less water/nutrition. Rather than the nakedly greedy ploy of making "mule-like" seeds that are disigned to have no offspring.
Yet another reason to use Free Software :)

Yup, company loses its help. Product stalls. Customers need something more stable. Switch to Free Software.
Yes, Like the "swiss cheese" Acer Aspire of 1993/4 My brother has one that is _younger_ than an Acros and upgraded twice before going to an ATX design. The Acros is still being used today and still takes an AT MB. The "swiss cheese" guy has an "Acer Special" MB and the case is, well, a lost cause.
I have met a few 40+ technical folks (mainframers mostly...) and they still go on and on about their killer JCL and their COBOL. COME ON, keep learning new technologies like networking, HTML, SQL....(or even PERL)
I think that the folks that don't want to learn current development and/or networking technology *OR* how to manage folks are setting themselves up to be maintainance programmers only. When their maintaince responsiblity ages out, so will they.
Slashdot Mirror
How is this license different than the lista incarnation of glibc ?
How did it change ?
Anybody know ?

Wonder what the slashdot effect might have...?

I've heard a joke that India gets more foreign aid from its diaspora than from the US govt.
Something tells me this is not a _totally_ ridculous assertion, maybe only partially ridiculous.

So what does "bright" mean in the UK?

This was a joke!

...making fun on the guy who uses his complier as a grammar checker....
Incidentally, I have a 20 gal batch of Mild Ale that turned out really well.
Part of a 20 Gal batch is still leftover from a great batch of Pale Ale.
I eagerly anticipate February when I can tap into a 20 gal batch of Pils.
I'm glad malt is cheaper than silicon

I agree with you to an extent...
