Maybe they should see how long it takes to get SPD out to beat it into submission.
Nah, first they have to surround it with four squads of police officers, tear gas it, block off all the exits, and then take away it's rights of free speech.
Then they can bring in the robot tank they bought. Gotta justify that big waste of money somehow.
After all, it might be a bomb.
But, I have a simpler solution - check the version number - if it's a point zero release, it's a bomb, if it's a point one or higher it's mostly harmless.
Really. Now that the Seattle Post-Intelligencer has settled it's strike, the Seattle Times (which is still on strike) needed to do something to raise it's circulation and page hits, since most of us are only getting the Seattle P-I now.
You'll see Frank out at the Monolith with his shotgun, trying to shoot it, just like he did his neighbors dogs when they wandered onto his property.
Just lift up the Monolith and look for the union label.
Certainly a valid opinion, but here's mine. Cities are communities, and taxes go to build all aspects of the community. That means zoning to keep industrial waste more-or-less out of your front yard, fixing potholes, providing parks and recreational areas, and yep, you guessed it, public art. So that's publically funded public art. And if you don't like the 'foo' at 'Baz & Main', then write a letter to your city council. Personally, if you don't like a few surprises in art, I'd rather you just find some other community where you can be a curmudgeon to your heart's content.
Wait, it's not just Monoliths, it's also Monorails that Seattle needs, wants, and desires.
And, we actually have a 2 percent for art requirement in King County. Not just your paltry one percent - two percent.
Seattle is on the West Side of Lake Washington.
Mercer Island is in the middle of Lake Washington.
Bellevue and Redmond are on the East Side of Lake Washington.
Just think Seattle = New York and Redmond = Trenton and you'll get the idea. Except it's reversed, since it's the West Coast.
The Monolith is in Seattle. Bill Gates is in Redmond. Oh, ok, that cheesy suburb right off of I-520, but same concept. And, sometimes, just to be nice, we let Bill Gates come to Seattle to pretend he has culture.
On New Year's Eve, a parade/protest/whatever was organized from Capitol Hill in Seattle (the "Bohemian" Neighborhood) up and down its main street and then into downtown Seattle.
Ahem. Fremont is Seattle's bohemian neighborhood, Capitol Hill is Seattle's gay and alternative neighborhood.
Nah, if we get a sense of humor, noone on slashdot will get the point that we had a parade with the monolith at 9pm on New Year's to mess with people's minds and then put it up somewhere else for the same reason.
Does this mean that this parents died in the incident?
No, his mom was at home when the plane crashed into Bill G's house. Think his dad was not at home at the time.
Of course, if we're lucky, Bill G will be the only one home, his wife and kids off skiing when the orbiting satellite hits him. Then they inherit the money and keep the foundations going, but the slate is wiped clean.
One should point out that this will also cause some minor vaporization of the metals and glass, both of which are highly toxic to humans, so don't breathe in the fumes when you look at the results, unless you have adequate ventilation.
When an old microwave of mine went, the resulting vapors set off the fire alarm... so let's be careful out there!
Good thing Bill G has an ego or IE would rule

Seriously, if those guys at MSFT didn't hate Linux, they'd just crank out a (slower, less capable) version of IE for Linux, and stomp all over Netscape.
Yeah, I know, many/. hate MSFT, but not all Linux users hate MSFT, it's just an OS to them.
I was just talking (cell phone) with a friend of mine who's been working for the Gore campaign, first in Pennsylvania and then in Florida. She's been offered work in Washington DC during the Supreme Court hearings on this.
It is not over.
I still figure we have until Dec. 12th before we get a real answer.
But, in case noone told you, it is official that the contested election in Washington State for US Senate is over. Republican Slade Gorton lost, Democrat Maria Cantwell won. Whoever becomes the next president will have a US Senate split 50-50, where you need at least 60 votes to override "automatic" filibusters or call issues to the floor from the committees where they will be buried. Even a dead vice-president (appointment of someone more right wing probable) for Bush won't stop that basic fact.
It will be over in four years. When the next election is over. And not before.
It's so Ozzies and Kiwis can download tons of stuff from the good old USA. Yup, it's a big fat pipe with plenty of curl and lots of air... no Yanks globbin' it up yet, either!
Well, maybe now I can get good download speeds for music from my fave band in Papua New Guinea, although one could also get it from fan sites in New Zealand.
Oh, wait, it's not just for Oz - it serves a whole bunch of countries down there.
they're all Fantasy. Heck, even David Brin will admit it, although he can at least be fairly technically accurate.
Now if we could get Brian Stableford to do a good science background on a movie, and throw in a good dialogue/human writer, maybe I'll revise my opinion, but it sounds like more of the same.
We all know the ARMY will be rewmoving Linux and installing xMach because well... xMach is cool... it boots on some systems... err it supports Linux 2.4 devices... uhh... well.... it's not Linux!
I am a second class US citizen of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and I am not allowed to vote for President and only have a non voting representative in the US Congress
If you're lucky, Gore will win the electoral college, Nader will win 5 percent, and Bush will win the popular vote.
This will infuriate the GOP House and Senate, the Democrats will realize it could happen to them next time, the Greens won't let up. And maybe, just maybe, we can get rid of the Electoral College and, as the sweetener to the deal, Puerto Rico will become the 51st state, so that the Democrats will vote for it.
Hey, it's the 21st Century next year - a man can dream, can't he?
I think I will just move to Canada or the UK or something if Bush gets elected.
I've thought of moving to France or the French West Indies. Could always move back to Canada, but might like to just lie around the beach and let my money sit in T-bills, bonds, and a very small amount in some stocks that won't dive that bad under a Bush presidency. My dad's thinking of a similar move for his holdings too.
Seriously, I can see Intel using its war chest of cash, helped by MSFT, to take down competitors. And get stupid judges who don't know tech to rule a cease-and-desist action for the non-licensed competitors.
Just think, elect Bush and it will all get even worse...
As some others have said "It's the Patent Office, Stupid!" - we need to get reasonable limits on patents, a more open search for prior research and work, and more true peer review. And then we need to work on that silly copyright extension as well.

There go our plans for world domination.
We figured with Bush as President he'd be clueless as to geometric progression, which would give us enough time to get monoliths in all 51 states.
ouldn't an advanced alien species measures things in meters? Or have they not converted over yet, either?
They made it easy for the people who are Microserfs. The rest of the Seattlites can do metric, it's just those wannabes across the lake who can't.
Actually, they're not just a National ISP, not just a cafe, they're:
...
a place to do performance art;
a place to have a band play;
a place to have an art show;
a place to host the Green Party of Seattle's Election Night Victory Party on Nov. 5, 2000;
an intergalactic ISP (entrance behind the bar);
right next to the coolest pool hall that Seattle ever had;
and a bunch of troublemakers.
But it wasn't them, that was just some of the Monolith people from the parade

Just like we did when we had Santarchy, where me and some of my friends (big pic with fire) rampaged thru Seattle dressed as Santas. Some more pics were at Santa John's website.
It's a joke, people!
But did she actually die in the incident?
Nope, it missed both her and Bill, while severely damaging much of the house, and fire and police had to put out the fire at the time.
Does this mean that this parents died in the incident?
No, his mom was at home when the plane crashed into Bill G's house. Think his dad was not at home at the time.
Of course, if we're lucky, Bill G will be the only one home, his wife and kids off skiing when the orbiting satellite hits him. Then they inherit the money and keep the foundations going, but the slate is wiped clean.
I mean, he's one of the only people I know (true fact) who survived a plane crashing into his parent's house.
... we can only hope ...

Yeah, I know, many
Anything less and any US Senator can invoke a permanent "filibuster" and stop any action from occurring.
The 50/50 split is important in that that determines committee chairs and assignments.

I can see it now, distro wars between the services.
Navy: Windows. Yeah, unfair, but it's huge, it's a battleship, it's slow as hell.
Army: Embedded Linux. Clean, mean, and green, stripped down and ready to fight.
Marines: Embedded BSD. Secure but limber. Fewer apps.
Air Force: Windows 2000. They crash and burn.
Green Berets: Since they're fazed out, Windows 98. Buggy as hell, but it usually works when it's not drunk.
Is Embedded Linux for Transmeta.

Put it together and you get
Linus is coding kernel that meets the spec you refer to. No need for SMP, slimmed down, trim, and ready to fight
