Hire a hitman to kill Debian? I know the Internet has everything, but where would one begin to look? In clonehappy's analogy, the wife is the distribution, not LP.
Besides, I don't know clonehappy, but I'm pretty sure clonehappy would never hire a hitman to kill Debian, LP, or anyone's wife. Strawmen have no place here. (Yeah, I know: "must be new here lol")
I made the same assumption as found in the statement "15% of all Crimeans voted".
Further, arbitrarily limiting the voting population doesn't make an election result any more legitimate.
Whether it's 21% or 30%, the result is not materially different. The overwhelming majority did not vote for the "winner", yet each individual in this overwhelming majority is forced into subordination to the winner.
17.8% of the U.S. population voted for George W. Bush in 2000 [0]. 21.0% of the U.S. population voted for Barak Obama in 2012. [1]
Seems to me not very far off from the abstract's note that "15% of all Crimeans voted" to secede. If it's legitimate in the US, why not elsewhere?
[0] Yes, Al Gore did better by winning 18.1%.

One can ask if Dashboard is a rip-off of Konfabulator and it would be a very good question. Apple swears up and down it was an independent creation...however...
"However" what? You're right, "one could ask," and the answer would be that Apple did, in fact, create widget-type applets first and independently for consumer operating systems. The year was 1982, and they were called Desktop Ornaments (later renamed Desktop Accessories) for the new Macintosh OS. As much as I used to like it despite is enormous memory footprint, I don't think Konfabulator was a gleam in Arlo Rose's eye in 1982.
Are you serious??? You want the United States to focus on one scientific goal? You are saying, in effect, that even though there are well over 290 million people in the US, each and every citizen should be forced by the government to be focused solely on what you think is the Right Thing(tm). Give me a break!
The US is still (ostensibly) a free market, capitalist country. Each citizen and industry is free to pursue their own interests. And yes, that even includes interests that might not fit perfectly into narrow-minded people's ideas of what is Best For The Country(tm).
Thanks to visionaries pursuing their unique interests in a free market economy, non-conformists have made leaps of creativity and ingenuity that have created some of the most helpful technologies used around the world. Don't ruin it for the rest of us with your command-and-control utopia.
Wrong wrong wrong!!! Wind turbines are extremely disruptive, not just to the millions of birds being barbarically clubbed to death every year, but to humans as well. Consider this:
Other studies, also issued in January, showed wind turbines may be more dangerous to humans than had previously been thought.
On January 25, the London Daily Telegraph reported numerous studies show low-frequency noise emanating from wind turbines is causing a variety of ailments among area residents.
According to English physician Dr. Amanda Harry, who conducted one of the studies, "People demonstrated a range of symptoms from headaches, migraines, dizziness, palpitations, and tinnitus to sleep disturbance, stress, anxiety, and depression. These symptoms had a knock-on effect in their daily lives, causing poor concentration, irritability, and an inability to cope . It travels further than audible noise, is ground-borne and is felt through vibrations."
1 -- MS's fault for not obfuscating code by default? 2 -- MS's fault for including metadata? 3 -- MS's fault for not having.NET compile to x86 assembly language? 4 -- MS's fault for not simply holding all compiled.NET assemblies in escrow on behalf of their authors, releasing them only to trusted parties? 5 -- MS's fault for not changing the nature of information itself to make this particular information hard to interpret?
Possibly not. The officer would probably have trouble unless the messengers come to him with a verifiably accurate timestamp of the message they're delivering (ie, the Grub server instructs n clients to fetch a page at the exact same time and return the results with the timestamp).
Why? Well, given the dynamic nature of the Internet, pages change through the course of time (the General updates his messages often). So even a difference of one second can change the results of the fetching of a given page. Thus, we get the illusion of saboteurs in our camp (along with the nasty requisite beheadings) even though the messengers probably are legitimate (ie, no conveniently "touched up" results are returned, yet the returned pages have changed from one unit of time to the next).
Of course, adding a timestamp alone wouldn't solve the problem, either. There'd be issues with time syncronization due to network latency, timestamp spoofing, etc. I would guess a well-thought-out public key infrastructure would have to be implemented (for secure retransmission of the timestamp), which opens another can of worms.
You're right, the stream doesn't require too much bandwidth. I think the bottleneck actually might be the upstream out of the hotel to the server at wi2600.org. The upstream is being shared by a couple hundred geeks at the conference. The bandwidth of the network that wi2600.org is on is definitely not the bottleneck.

That is why you should go with a source-based distro such as Sorcerer GNU/Linux. Absolutely nothing will be "thrown on" your system without you knowing about it (as long as you're l33t enough to look), and you'll get better performance, also.
And, do you really think that the majority of the US armed services would actually fire upon there own families?
Most likely not. But they won't have to. NATO and UN "Peacekeeping" Forces will be more than happy to keep Swamp City (Washington DC) from "falling" to people who want nothing more than to keep the civil liberties guaranteed to them by the U.S. Constitution (and God, if you believe in Him).
Hitler and Stalin knew best: you can't take away a person's rights without first taking away their only means of defense.

there's still quite the engineering challenge here.
. . . not to mention the fact that that developing ~53k sq km with wind turbines would look like shit.

The following is directly from the guy doing the streaming:
"Dell inspiron laptop, oddcast for win32 for shoutcast stream generation.
lame codec is used here.
shoutcast binary on freebsd on 10mbit link."
I would imagine WI2600's Mediawhore will eventually have the full audio of the conference.
