I suppose it's not an optimal solution, but you can always lock down the server and only play with people you know. The drawback is, of course, that you won't always have a full server, but then, locking down the server is a good way to manage how much time you spend playing online =)
I don't see where AC asserts that Sklyarov was interested in "helping grandma read." He's just drawing an extreme contrast between the way DS's actions were portrayed and one that would clearly not have flown. It seems pretty clear that DS' actions fall somewhere in the vast middle of AC's spectrum.
errr, compare citrus to citrus, chum: RPM is to APT as.deb is to (e.g.) gnorpm --.rpm and.deb are package formats, gnorpm and apt are tools for managing those packages (and IIRC one can now use rpms with apt -- Linux Mandrake?)
APT is a tool for managing DEB packages, it is not a packaging format itself.
don't be spreading misinformation... makes you look... well, like someone you wouldn't want to look like.
In his book ("If Chins Could Kill"), he spends more time talking about Renee O'Connor ("Gabrielle") than any of his other female co-stars.

Netscape 6.2

Because you want the branded version with all the proprietary gewgaws. Mozilla is pre-1.0, Netscape 6.2 is released to the public. That's about it.
Chances are, if you know about the existence of Mozilla, you don't want the Netscape branded releases, although here and there there could be sites that will recognize Netscape and not Mozilla -- but chances are, you don't frequent such sites anyhow, if you know of the existence of Mozilla.
I didn't see a heck of a lot about Libranet that I don't already get with Debian unstable... OK, maybe the newer packages are tested more for stability and interoperability, but I bet Debian has more developers working on Debian than Libranet does.
(re: title... OK, not surprising, but I boggled at this quote:)
Dr von Muggenthaler said that purring had to be advantageous to a cat to survive natural selection,
That's at best contentious, and at worse misleadingly false. Not every trait that survives or is prevalent in a species needs to be advantageous. I'm as hard-core a Darwinian as you will find out there, but there are lots of reasons purring could have survived without being advantageous to cats. It could be linked to something that does something that does contribute to survival but is in and of itself of no advantage or even small detriment to survival. Or it could have been useful at some point in the past, and not any longer (who knows, primordial feline predators who have since gone extinct might have been confused by those frequencies).
No sir, I don't like it when scientists make these sorts of errors.
"Windows 2000 does lack serious system management tools"
was stated about "linux 2.4" BY a supposed Linux consultant. I don't know if I want to consult with someone who doesn't appear to understand the difference between the kernel and the other tools one might package with it.

The only even
partially succesful peaceful leader I can think of would be Ghandi and he had very little real effect on the world.
You're right, that Martin Luther King Jr. didn't accomplish anything. Not even a major law or anything was passed as a result of his nonviolent methods.
Hmm, recall when Barbara Bush said she worried that Gore was going to hit poor little George during the third debate. Gore's much bigger, and I'd guess in better general shape (that's just an impression, though). Lieberman's a slight dude, but I think he could take Bush and of course Cheney has that heart thing.
Sounds to me then like it's a battle over a word. Fine, don't call 'em "marriages." And, as you mention, the laws will have to be rewritten. You could have "civil unions", a subset of which are "marriages."
But that's not what the Shrub was saying (Gore sounded amenable to it, at least, so is perhaps marginally less weaselly on the issue)
I know exactly what he said. I also know that it takes a deliberate misreading of those words and an ignorance of the context to read it as a lie, rather than (at worst) a misstatement.

People can join games for the sole purpose of making you mad. They can even do it by sending out inflammatory messages. Sounds like trolling to me.

ehh, just wait until more folks see the trailers from SW episode II.
Dunno about that company's product, but the IBM version of the thing works pretty well under Linux.
Basically, it's just a USB disk, just the medium is flash memory.
Damn, this blows my "geeks getting taken in the early-adopter Rapture" theory.
They're just getting sucked into their iMacs -- literally.

Plenty of today's PCMCIA NICs don't have dongles, e.g. Netgear FA411 (not an endorsement, just a remark).

You *do* know you can configure what user-agent string Konqueror sends on a per-domain basis, right?

Did they try to boot the kernel they compiled? =)
The kicker ... the last bit you 'regexed'
My condolences. And thanks for the info! Turns out Manning is even closer to me than Phillips ... I didn't bother trying to look it up =)

You seem to be counting innovation as "changes relative to earlier MS OS products".
Some of us seem to recall there being a consumer OS that provided a GUI interface having been available from a company other than MS since, oh, 1984.

wow, that's two people who have equated holding (voting) stock in a company to being a citizen of a country.
Nah, we don't need campaign finance reform, the corporations don't have too much influence ...
I think that's the problem, according to the "rest of the world". You belong to corporations.

Then why should the state endorse the marriages they do? The stopping point is arbitrary.
