While all that may be true, it doesn't dillute the original point which stated that no one but Americans (and only those of the US persuasion) have any business voting for an American president.
I can't even believe anyone would legitimately argue that foreign bodies should have any say in our domestic government. Even taking into account the influence that the US has on the rest of the world, only a retarded gorilla would see the US as a nation whose elected officials have to answer to anyone *but* it's citizens.
Besides, are these other nations going to abide by our laws? Are they going to pay our taxes? Of course not. Which is precisely why they have no say in our elections.
I used to use BeOS, but the lack of decent browser finally drove me off the edge and I decided to switch to a different OS. The question then was, "Linux or Win2K?" -- In the end I chose Win2K, because the stability was there, and so was the browser. I don't care about being able to see the source to my OS, and other than that, I don't see any advantage to using Linux on my desktop.
That's a flawed argument. It's understandable that you'd be less-than-pleased that IE isn't available on your platform, but it doesn't make IE any worse as a browser.
When I used BeOS religiously (that ended a few months ago), I couldn't use Mozilla, Netscape, or IE. That didn't make the piece-of-crap browser that came built in with BeOS any better than the others.
Without argument, IE is a better, stabler, and more generally capable browser than Netscape and Mozilla (although the latter is closing in fast). It's a better product, period. Just because you can't use it, because of the platform you choose to operate under, doesn't make that any less true.
Oh please. That's so ridiculous; He's not a hero or a martyr.
The entire situation stinks of "ooh, look at me!". I can completely understand his resentment for this sort of popularity contest, but there are better ways of expressing it than this. This is just pissing on what would otherwise be a fun event for the majority of the school. Most people enjoy the Homecoming experience -- that's why they have it. I wasn't elected King in my class, but I still had a crapload of fun.
In fact, in my class there was a kid who *did* decline the court nomination. But he didn't make a scene out of it, he just made it very very very clear that he wasn't going to have any part of the Homecoming court. Not many people agreed with him, and most people thought he was a little odd for doing it, but because of the tasteful and discrete way he did it, no one's feathers were ruffled and everyone was able to enjoy Homecoming.
As for suspension, well that's clearly going overboard. Someone in the administration dropped the ball and now they're going to get crap for it, as they well should. But a hero and a matyr? Hardly.
Yeah, there are huge "how's" involved in this situation... Flat fee or per song? I'd sign up for unlimited access to BMG's library for $20/month. But I think we all know that's not going to happen, unless BMG is feeling awfully feisty.
Yeah right. Who's going to pay that? 0.1% of the current Napster user-base? The entire appeal of Napster is that it's free. If Napster starts charging, people will just use another service.
This may solve the Napster issue. But it sure doesn't solve the P2P issue at all.
There's more to a microkernel than just modules. Sure, Linux has pluggable modules, but they run in kernel-space. HURD's use of "servers" is much different.
Uh, it did come out of campaign pamphlets... Nader didn't give these answers; they're from an assistant. The ones that weren't answered were the ones where the assistant wasn't sure where Nader stood on the issue, or wasn't comfortable issuing a statement about it.
Are you fucking retarded? You can disable the stupid serial number. Nobody cares about that anymore. It's yesterday's news. But hey, if you want to do your stupid "Ooh look at me! I'm a pretty H4x0R!" go ahead.
It would be basically impossible to implement a system wherein all X apps acted as actuall Mac apps. The reason is that X, at its lowest level, does not know anything about high level controls like buttons and scrollbars. These widgets are all implemented at a higher level by toolkits like Motif, Qt, and GTK. And they don't work the same way.
However, it would be possible to write a port of GTK, Motif, or Qt (or any other toolkit, I'd imagine) that would translate the high level controls into their MacOS equivalents. This is very similar to what TrollTech does for it's Qt toolkit under Windows. However, TrollTech has no plans to make a port that runs under anything but Windows and X11. Maybe if you've got some free time on your hands...:-)
I run OpenBSD, and just upgraded to 2.7. My NE2000 worked fine during the install, but then it crapped out on me when the machine first booted up. "Device Timeout" it kept saying...
Turned out that it had an IRQ conflict with my soundcard. Since this was on my firewall, I just took the soundcard out (who needs to listen to MP3s while they're routing packets?) -- But since then I've had zero problems with NE2000 cards.

Oh so clearly in the recent DeCSS case, the judge was just stupid, right? Did you read his paper? He most definitely understood the DMCA, and abided by it to the letter. A judge's job is to interperet laws, not to overturn them.
And plenty of people have seen hundreds of NT boxes run under considerable load, and never crash once. I've seen Linux shit the bed from some Javascript under crappy versions of Netscape. I don't blame Linux though; I blame Netscape (for the most part).
If your website is crapping-out on you, the problem is likely to have something to do with your website. I.E. Your application was poorly designed, and the author didn't truly understand the platform he was designing for.
I'm not saying that IIS and MS SQL Server are perfect; They're not. But neither are MySQL and Apache, either.

Slashdot is not running on a single machine; it's load-balanced. MSN.com runs on IIS and it get's probably 100 times the traffic that Slashdot does. Not because IIS is so much better than Apache, but because they've got plenty of machines handling incoming requests.

"You can't shake the Devil's hand and say you're only kidding."
Completely different issue. This was a problem with Samba, which handles file-sharing, not Apache, which handles webservices. It's my recollection that the specifics of that problem were worked out in the meantime.

"You can't shake the Devil's hand and say you're only kidding."
There's that, and there's also the configuration of your entire system. Is it just going to be one machine sitting by itself on the Internet? Will it be behind a load-balancer? Will it be making requests to other machines? What are those machines running? Will they be behind balancers?
There's so much that goes into setting up a serious web-server that the comparison between IIS and Apache really needs to be made at *your* site, using *your* settings.

While that's a noble goal, it would probably be much easier to just port the GTK libraries to OSX (using this X server) and use a OSX-like theme.
However, it would be possible to write a port of GTK, Motif, or Qt (or any other toolkit, I'd imagine) that would translate the high level controls into their MacOS equivalents.
