Yeah, iirc no 6 was something about not killing people. Shortly after that, the CEO of the Universe rang back and gave them instructions for the next fiscal year: go thou into the land of Canaan and kill everyone.
Even Universal CEOs have to throw chairs sometimes.
Mmmm, quantum porn. Super-position, entanglement and some guy with a pussy.

pornography and gambling is one thing, instant messaging and blogging is another. one enriches your life, one destroys it.
YEAH! Ban blogging and bring on that enriching porn.
You're right: People vary. People are different. Some people are not like me or you. Sometimes that is beneficial to their lives, sometimes not. Five hundred years ago, I (small, short sighted but great at understanding things due to my obsession with learning) would propably have been human trash - now I'm a useful member of society.
We should celebrate the variety within our species, not label everyone who is not average with a 'disorder'. Anyone who says 6-10% of humans is built wrong in some way must've gone to school in Kansas.
a continent full of "criminals" with success stories.
Strange. At first I assumed you meant Australia, but now I'm not sure... it could be the US. After all, the original Aussies mostly only stole bread. Compare that to the Land Grab, The Mafia, Halliburton and the Neocons, Worldcom, Enron. (Whoops, cross out the last two...)
Ever seen 'shatter'? Google for it. It's a demonstration that Windows is fundamentally wide open. Use a vuln to get a guest account and you can get admin privs for free!
Strong words aside, the guy is right. Open Source authors tend to be rather bad about listening to their user base- the snotty answer is "if YOU want it to do X, then code it yourself", and many times reported bugs that are annoying current users are put off or ignored, often because the development version is almost ready to go stable, and fixing the bug would be "a pain".
Just to remind you, the exact same problems occur with proprietary systems, but you can't see the bug reports. I fully expect that systems ship once all bugs affecting over perhaps 2% of users are fixed - all the rest will be considered minority issues.
In fact, I have even found a bug in VBA* that Microsoft wouldn't accept a bug report on unless the business I work for paid them!

* 'Save sheet' (as CVS) in Excel will sometimes save half the current sheet and half another one if it is followed by a change to the active sheet - even if both are done by name. I think it's some kind of race condition probably caused by a late dereference after blocking on I/O.
You can't 'patch' a rootkit to turn it into 'not a rootkit'.
F-Secure shouldn't have given Sony a chance at all - they should have added a signature so that if I stuck a Sony CD in my machine it would be detected and I would be warned. What the fuck else would I want their product for?
Bloody hell, I was trying to explain a spelling mistake that only makes sense if you know that it is one letter. That letter was and is written as a y with two dots by lots of Dutch people, dead and alive, and has only recently been written as i-j. In Afrikaans it still is a y!
If all you are really complaining about is that those two dots aren't technically an umlaut, and you would have rather I said "originally a y with two dots over it" then you have waaaay too much time on your hands. My description was meant to inform, not to function as a primer for the history of Dutch typesetting!
He's an idiot. A search for "cyber monday" which only finds the two words together, not co-incidentally in the same page, finds only about 1,020,000. Still, more than I would have expected.
Eh? Why the hysteria? You say yourself they were/are interchangeable.
FWIW I used to live in the Netherlands and speak a bit of Dutch (much less these days). I was *trying* to explain why the misspelling was obvious - it's not i,j it's 'ij' thus it was clearly a typo. And I find it hard to understand why you can call it a dotted y but I can't call it a y with an umlaut!
My point was that it didn't used to be written ij but y umlaut... it's not two letters it's one. It was a comment about a misspelling of Geijin for Geijn for fuck's sake.
God, geeks: determined to find an argument where none exists.
Strange, I read the same article and think it agrees with me. It's written as a y with an umlaut. Doesn't have the same meaning as it would in germany, but that's definitely a y, and it definitely has two dots over it.

Ta for that, checking rc3 became final was the only reason I was reading this article ;-)

It is?! (valid in c)
I tried it and got a parse error from gcc. Sample code pls? (I like to learn a little something every day!).

(Forgive the crap indenting, buggered if I can make it any better)
Thankfully for my sanity, that one is a typo. It's Van de Geijn (the ij is originally a y with an umlaut - Dutch).
Justin.
Nice anti-anti-us troll though, way to slide it in there.

Thus it becomes more and more expensive to try to bother me. This is a Good Thing.
