Zonk can still mate with Zonk and is still classified as Zonk but as we can tell he is beginning the split into a new species which won't maintain compatibility for long (people will have higher expectations of him).
It is one thing to teach that theories aren't solid. But it is quite another to teach that every theory is equally valid. There is an extensive fossil record, etc. for evolution. Does this mean that God couldn't have just planted it there to trick us? No. But at the same time if there is a "God" that would do that, then he could also reverse all of the laws of physics tomorrow. Does this mean that we should discredit them? No. We should simply teach that based on past observation, this is how the think x works. We aren't sure, but we have a lot more backing it up than we do for every other theory about x.
Evolution is just a theory. There are other theories as well. Please make sure your kids get taught every possible theory or you will probably wind up in hell... or worse.
It is pretty unreasonable given that there is a robust package system which he said was a decade behind rpm. The package system in freebsd can actually get dependencies as well as the package you asked for: something rpm has been criticised for for years. Also, you can simply download an ISO and bam you have a full OS in the sense you say he is talking about. If you want updates of software, yes you have to either install from ports or from an updated package repository. Once you have the big stuff already on there though it isn't really a big deal to build some small app from ports.
What is "commas dude"? Perhaps you meant "Learn how to use commas, dude." Wow, (--COMMA) that is the first time I've seen a grammar nazi make a fuck up.
Public money is spent on symphonies all over the world. If you want to equate that with picking a pocket, fine, but then so would be every other tax that doesn't benefit every tax payer exactly what they paid in on more. So the money is already out there, spreading classical music has been deemed a good cause by the BBC in this case. The record companies have NO problem with the BBC paying for the symphonies to perform and then broadcasting it on the radio. So paying for the symphonies isn't equatable, even in the record companies' minds, with stealing anything. So the only part of your analogy left at this point is that the thing the record companies are complaining about is the sleeping with your wife--it may hurt their pride but it certainly isn't breaking any law or commiting any tort.
So lets go ahead and let the government build a huge oppressive framework so long as they aren't currently using the incomplete framework? That's right up there with selling Japan massive amounts of raw materials before WWII...wait I'm on Slashdot: that's like the rebels waiting on the second deathstar to be completed before their attack... but wait, it was operational.
Now look, I'm no privacy crusader. I just want the government and the people on equal terms. The government in my opinion currently gets a lot more privacy rights than individuals. If for every bit of privacy they took away from us they simultaneously lost an equal percentage of thier own privacy I wouldn't give a damn--how you measure such things is another question entirely.
Wow that "catch" conviently identifies just about every reporter doing research on terrorism--let's hope for their sake they don't bring into question the merits of the war on terror.
" No one says states' rights are absolute. If a state wants to reenact slavery, should that right be respected?"
States rights are garunteed in the constitution. Barring a restriction on slavery in the constitution then yes states have the right to reenact slavery; too bad there is such a restriction. The real problem is the commerce clause: for example (and it has gotten much worse since this case) the federal government can prevent you from growing corn on your land to feed your animals because it affects national commerce in that you lower the demand for corn! This is rediculous as under this line of reasoning anything can be held as a federal issue under the commerce clause except things explicitly stated to be state matters.
Except it was us sending you allowance... More like us kids skipped out on the bill we had been paying for you at your nursing home (what with your tired political, outdated political system and all).
I don't think the fragmentation of coders really would be anything to try and stop but the $30,000 could probably go to much better use. Seeing as many of the donators on the Blender front weren't planning on hacking it, just on using it, I think it is a fair warning to future donors on this project that Blender is already out there and getting this thing release free is going to be a lot less useful than a lot of other things.
They are cutting retirement benefits for those with low tenure. My guess is he had really high benefits and really high tenure and instead of just negotiating with him to lower them or lower his salary they just canned him.

It certainly isn't about saving bandwidth--it is about forcing some people with basic, easily fixable problems to buy a new printer.
"Personalized prices will make me leave a store and not shop there, period. Because while they might have a good price, I know that they might be simply screwing me when they could sell it lower if I had some kind of different "profile" in their system. No, fuck that. You give me the lowest price you can handle all the time. It doesn't always have to be the lowest in the world for me to buy it from you. I'll pay more for better service."
I guess you don't buy DVDs then? Because if you think region codes are anything but ways to get the government to enforce price discrimination you are crazy (BUT!!! They are for distribution rights!! We don't want the early release in one country to affect a later release in another!--Umm, well guess what, the reason you are getting a later release is more often than not because that was the time a release in your area was calculated to return the most profit). In this case your whole country/continent is profiled, in the ones you mentioned you specifically were profiled. The principles are still the same however; you are still divided into a group and treated based on that group's characteristics. Personally I don't have a problem with it--I do however have a problem with the government enforcing it (especially under false, or at best dubious, pretenses.) as the US government has with the DMCA.
If you care about them then get a job that doesn't make you sign one. Why move out of the state? Florida doesn't say that all jobs have to have these agreements, they simply say that these agreements are enforcable--if you don't like it don't agree to it, don't move out of the state where chances are you were born and where you maintain most of your social network.
If congress is about to vote on a bill and no protesters line the streets nothing changes. If a million protesters lined the streets they would think twice. This is an extreme example and numbers like that never happen; but it serves to debunk your argument that they have no effect: if protesters have no effect on their own then having a million present for something wouldn't have an effect either.

No, but God might decide that is deserves a repost so that some more people can learn about evolution and go to hell.
