What good does having/var on a separate partition on a webserver do when every single Linux distribution I've seen for the past years has used/var/www for storing web pages?
Maybe he shop-lifted it first, and when caught tried to convince the shop assistant that it was only 4.99 and they shouldn't make such a fuss about such a cheap thing?
Of course anyone with half a brain who wants to get reliable information from wikipedia would at least check the history and discussion pages on the topic as well. Depending on HOW reliable they want the info to be they might additionally just-fucking-google-it or even (gasp!) read a book.
EZ is used for things that are really simple and doesn't require you to do much
Well, the first encounter i had with that particular combination of letters was the Adaptec EZ-SCSI software that came with my Soundblaster 16 ASP SCSI. (After writing this i feel very old.)
Anyway, since I had learned in school that "Z" is pronounced "zed" in english, it took me a while to understand WTF they meant with "EZ".
when a game allows a player to virtually commit sexual assault and murder, as a society we must do what we can to protect our children
So the reason we want to prevent violent crime isn't that we want to protect the victims from harm but the children who typically commit that crime from getting corrupted? WTF?
It's actually a quote from an episode of Third Rock From the Sun, that old NBC nightly sitcom.
No wonder i didn't recognize it then. Didn't watch that show much, and then only dubbed in german which probably would have crippled it beyond recognition anyways.
It's all interconnected, and as a society, we need people studying _all_ fields of science to keep increasing our quality of life.
You are SO right.
Also, I think a "all i ever wanted to do was physics" physicist is more likely to come up with a cure for cancer than a "i wanted to study physics but they told me that there was no way i would study physics until a cure for cancer was found so i'm sitting 9-5 in this medical lab reading slashdot" cancerologist could ever be.
[Einstein] did eventually acknowledge [Quantum Mechanics] though
Not only that, AFAIK he also called his statement of god not gambling his "biggest mistake". Which makes other folks critizising QM and using his quote as support look pretty not-so-well-informed.
Yes, that's a possibility. Thing is, CSS is broken. Both by design and by hackers. There's two ways to create a DVD player. Licensing CSS is the difficult way: you need to hire lawyers, sign contracts and let other companies tell you how to write your software. If you took the easier way - letting libdvdcss deal with it - you could have spent that time and money on actually developing your product. You also would get community contributions (bug reports, patches,...) for free.
Everyone who wants to play DVDs on linux can already do so. And most people probably don't see a reason why they should pay for a closed-source product that does what their open-source player already does.
The fact that DVD playing on linux doesn't work the way the DVD forum wishes it to doesn't have ANYTHING to do with people not willing to pay for software.
The DVD consortium doesn't *prevent* anybody from making a DVD player app for Linux
No, but they would probably literally roll on their office floors if you wanted to make your "legit" DVD player app GPL, LGPL, BSD, Apache or any other of the licenses that people want to put their code under.
You know, if you can't make a "legit" DVD player and license it the way you want, why bother at all? CSS is so laughable it probably doesn't even qualify as "copy protection" anyway. Some would even claim that ANY "copy protection" is laughable and impossible.

What kind of filthy pirate is that Schneier guy anyway? No-one here ever heard anything about him.

Just like "murder is only evil if someone gets killed in the process"?

It's called yurop.
Didn't want to mess up the papyrus with sauce bolognese?
We're not talking about you, we're talking about "z". And we both know that "z" doesn't live anymore, because "z"'s dead baby, "z"'s dead.
And yes, the pun only works for non-land-of-the-free-ians.
that depends

You misspelled "either". (hint: they counted their years backwards back then.)

Sounds like a spell from Harry Potter and the Lessons of Trigonometry.
Someone named Jim, formerly alive, but now dead?
You are SO right.

How would you know if it matches?
It's because of the alliteration. Junk from Japan. Crap from China, Garbage from Germany, Trash from Taiwan.
What if on the first boot it asks you where you want to install linux to?

Must it also be accompanied by dry water, a working perpetuum mobile and world peace?
