I completely gave up on GNOME back in the 2.x range as I saw features get continually moved, removed, or just made harder to configure. I loved KDE3 and tolerated KDE4 between crashes (now, thankfully, gone in newer versions) until I realized that as KDE versions got newer and newer, they also got slower and slower on my, admittedly aging, hardware. I've since switched to XFCE and haven't looked back. Much.
I have personal knowledge that some parts of the government do care about the constitution. I suspect they tend to be the parts of the government that hire the most intelligent people.
And yet you post anonymously and fail to give specifics. Are you, perhaps, in fear of those parts which do not care?
You can call, send an email, send a physical letter, or visit in person. If that's too involved for you, you can vote. Those are all input, with no level of effect.
You're talking about a password escrow policy, a damned good thing to have in any case. He's talking about the actual risk you only briefly mention. How would what you're talking about here prevent or minimize the risk that he's talking about here? Answer: it wouldn't.
So, removing your own money from the bank is an actionable offense there resulting in arrest? Also, while I can appreciate someone wanting to hang onto good, competent help, arresting them to keep them from crossing the state border sounds a little too extreme to me. Sounds like all the more reason not to work for the SF government.
The way I remember it, Microsoft supported OS/2 from the beginning; see here for screen shots of Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel for OS/2.
Yup. I seem to remember seeing that. The other big "supported" application on OS/2 was Microsoft Mail (anyone else remember that one? Try not to shudder too hard....). At least it beat trying to run it under DOS/Windows.
I'm not sure about Blackpool, but Casanova has been broadcast in the US. Also, as far as I know, Ruby in the Smoke has been broadcast recently here in the US.
The museum had a policy of no photographs. This is hardly uncommon: not only do many people find it annoying to stumble over photographers and deal with flashes while they're trying to look at art, but repeated exposure to light flashes can damage art.
You obviously haven't checked the facts or read any of the article. Photography was specifically allowed in the part of the museum he was in when he took that photograph. It hadn't been in the past but the museum changed their policy.
Why not just double check all the time? Better yet, why not just always make it best two out of three? Sure, it would increase DNS traffic bandwidth but, compared to a lot of other stuff out there, DNS traffic is pretty light-weight.
I'm curious. Just exactly what bunch of asshats is this (i.e., who is trying to get you to sign this and where are they located)? I'd like to do my best to avoid them if at all possible (as, I'm sure, a lot of others here would as well).
Meanwhile back in the real world AMD produces Athlon 64 X2s with a TDP of 35W, while the lowest Intel can produce is 65W.
Really? You ever try to buy one? The 35W AMD X2 is complete vaporware. Also, I'll believe the recent announcement of the new 45W TDP CPUs when the hardware is readily available and not one second before. Reviews on Tom's Hardware for vaporware just don't cut it for me any more.
That said, there is a difference between the 65W TDP AMD and Intel CPUs. AMD rates their TDP as a maximum of 65W, while Intel rates theirs as 65W under "normal use" or "average" or "optimal" or "insert-your-own-marketspeak-here" with a maximum that is higher than 65W.

Handing over your private encryption keys to the FBI and leveraging existing wire taps with ISPs could accomplish the same thing.
They already tried that. Do a Google or Wikipedia search for "Clipper Chip"
Nonsense. Number one, it's not half the bandwidth, unless you somehow count magical pixie dust compression on Comcast's side.
Nope. I've seen the magical compression on Comcast's side and it doesn't come as dust. It usually arrives in big, slow-moving blocks.
The government must be made to listen to the reasoning of how SOPA breaks some things that are very fundamental operating principles of the Internet.
I agree. Short of "this sort of proposed retaliation", how do you "propose" to get their attention?
The only venomous mammal is the platypus.
That's funny, I don't remember my lawyer as having webbed feet or a bill........
I still remember my node (I ran a BBS), all these years later. (3:800/428)
I had one of those too. Mine didn't have a colon or slash in the number though.......
I smell a revolution brewing.
So do they. That's why they're putting the ban in place.
Apple has a 40% profit share in the pc market. That's clearly overpriced.
TFTFY
Out of curiosity, what behavior from KDE 3 is not possible in KDE 4?
Konsole window cannot be set to a fixed size in rows and columns.
Konsole and Kate can no longer be scripted using a shell.
OMG!!! I can't wait!!! OMG!!!

Either this is a magnificent troll or someone's a complete jackass.
Why does it always have to be either/or with you people? "All the above" is a perfectly viable option too......

There, I fixed that for you.
I agree with you 100% except for the idiot part.

I want to know how he ditches the Secret Service long enough to make it to the bat cave though.
He doesn't. One of them is Robin.
I've done X over a 28.8k modem. It was ugly.
I sometimes still do and it (always) still is. Where I'm able to use NX its....slightly less ugly.

I have to agree, if you are a law abiding citizen what is wrong with proving who you are?
If you are a law abiding citizen, why should you have to?

is not intended to compete with Thunderbird, but instead to complement it
Translation: I come not to bury Thunderbird, but to praise it. That certainly explains this.
