Not quite on topic, but those trees take decades to grow, once we finish off the rainforests, we'll have to wait decades before we have enough trees to make a notebook. Plus, the wildlife that lives in those forests can't wait for there homes to grow back.
So even though we are destroying our rain forest, it's okay, because we're planting new tress?
Even though I was driving 25 mph over the limit, it's okay, because I slowed down before I got home?
If there is still a violation in any release of the software, regardless of what has happened since then, it needs to be fixed, the source for the original violating software needs to be accessible.
But, at least they have splited it now. Better than nothing.
If there's a GPL kernel... it won't be long before someone builds an entire, purely GPL OS on it. That would be really nice, I think.
Someday (soon, I hope), I'll be able to build a handheld device from parts, and install a great OS for a very low price, and it's just the way I want it. I can't wait.
We broke 100 shuttle flights earlier this year. Thursday yet another will be launched. This mission will feature a brand new and much improved set of main engines that will be much safer and much more effecient. Every mission teaches us something new, not to mention having a permanantly manned space station. The likeliness of another catastrophe is decreasing much more rapidly than the number of flights is increasing. NASA is constantly refining their processes, to be be more effecient, safer, and faster. Space exploration/research is key to technological/medical/physical/meteorological/etc/ etc/etc growth for the whole world. I think anything necessary should be done to ensure the successful future of NASA and space agencies around the world.
The security manager will throw a JavaScript exception, preventing the function from being called. Unless the web page catches the exception, the script will stop and an error message will appear on the JavaScript console
How long until ad companies start catch execptions, and figure out another way to annoy us? Long time, I hope.
Agreed. It's the same thing... If you don't like ads, block them (pick a method), if you don't like smart tags, don't use them (pick a method). If you want to write a browser that displays everything backward, that's fine too.
The linux kernel is, by definition, GPLed. Once, I have it, I can do anything with it. If I wanted to, I could add something to it, and charge $1,000 per copy. but once someone else got a hold of it, they have those same rights, and can distribute it for free. It sounds like caldara is using as little GPL software as they can and still be able to call it Linux. That means there probably won't be source code, which entirely removes any freedom you have with GNU. I'll have no part of that!
Hmm. Sounds very similar to the situation that the Messiah 2000 years ago faced. He was assumed to be psychotic for claiming to be the Son of God. He was homeless, didn't have any possessions, and had no money. But, there was something special about him that changed the world. People followed him, and believed in him. It's kind of amazing isn't it?
Here at Ole Miss, there's a B.S.C.S from the School of Engineering, or a B.A.C.S from the School of Liberal Arts. I know, it's weird, but that's Mississippi for you.

They don't want to have to download a JVM (which are normally about 10-20MB - long time on a dial up connection).
To get just the JRE to run java programs, it's not nearly that big... just a few megs. It's the JDK that's 20-someodd megs.
Somewhat true, but you have to rewind and fast forward and turn over cassette tapes. I really like being able to go directly to a song I want to hear.
I've got a plastic space shuttle that was one of my more cherished toys when I was 3 (22 years ago).
That's very interesting, especially since the shuttle didn't start flying until 21 years ago.
How many people here would jump at the chance to work for NASA for free if it meant the possibility that they may, themselves, go into space?
It's worth a shot!:

If you read on in the release notes you'll find:

In high school, I sometimes changed teachers' dos prompts to something like "Press any key to continue formatting C: ".
...since ".Net" comes from the word "networking", while "Mono" comes from the word "monopoly".
Or perhaps "net" is a root of the word "networking", and "mono" is the same for "monopoly." But still ironic.
Note that NASA's shuttle's external tank splashes down in the Indian ocean after being launched from Florida.

$EST = $UTC - 5; $EDT = $EST + 1; print "You're wrong" if ($EDT == $UTC - 4);
I think Space Stations, by laws of physics, orbit. ISS's orbit is ~90 minutes.
Let's Go!!
