But hey, anything goes as long as you can make the public vagely believe, or even not dispute too much, that it'll help them get Osama Bin Laden.
Who? Didn't Hussein blow up the Maine, shoot Archduke Ferdinand, stage the Munich Beer Hall Putsch, invade Poland, sneak attack Pearl Harbor, drop nukes on Japan, invade South Korea, cause the Gulf of Tonkin incident, run drugs into the US via Columbia, blow up the Marine barracks in Beirut, and shoot down TWA 800?
Self shutdown - if the heatsink falls off an Intel processor, it throttles itself down until it stops, if required, so that it doesn't burn, whereas an AMD chip just burns.
How often does this kind of thing happen? Other than at Tom's? I see, you said "if".
Truth is, most of our farmland is owned by big companies and as such they are milking us. We live in a place where the laws have been accumlated through a set of parliaments created by the landowners and most people don't even know it's happened.
We've only got what they've let us have to keep us docile.
Also, by not allowing other sites to "mirror" it, they maintain control on the distribution and users can be sure that the ISOs are not corrupted, intentionally or otherwise.
Kinda like OpenBSD's OpenSSH, which happened to be running on a Sun box. Oops!
irstly, the NYT is the best newspaper in the US. Period. They employ top-notch journalists, and Markoff and Hafner (whom I've had as a journalism professor) are some of them.
Keep thinking that. Designing GUI's isnt that hard. YOu just got to listen to the yeah's and nay's of your user crowd. If somebody says "WTF am I supposed to do", you did something wrong.
I agree. A good GUI is where the users, after they have figured out how to do what they want to do, don't still hate your guts. Bad example: SAP.
The only longterm solution to spam (that I can think of, of course;) is to create a "new" e-mail community, where servers would only accept e-mail from a list of "trusted" servers. Any server discovered spamming would be kicked off the list in no time. We would end up with a smaller, nicer, cozier e-mail system.
There is no solution in an open society. Look at all of our communications channels: all the open ones have lots of noise. Mail, phone, your front door, even speech. Mail, radio, TV, and press, where you have to pay to play, has lots of noise. So if you can solve email noise, you should be able to solve it all.
Remember his old shtick about how to become a millionaire? "First, get a million dollars." Here, it's "how to pursue your dreams: first, become independently wealthy."
Most of us have had to modify our dreams a bit, due to reality. I don't think I'll ever be Buckaroo Banzai, I have to settle for being a jammin' sysadmin.
What is a republic of free citizens doing with a Czar? Or do I assume too much about the USA? Or are we just a squalid rabble, demanding bread and circuses and safety?
*cough* FUD *cough* Fear of war hurts economies. During actual war times the economy picks back up. World War 2 is what got America out of the depression (the war was the final step, not the only reason). America's arms deals with the allies helped create jobs and so did the massive mobilization and temporary nationalization of many companies to enable a war time economy.
Dang, so the destruction of wealth or the creaton of wealth-destroyers is good for an economy! That's downright _1984_-ish.
Do I keep using what I have because it's more than fast enough for my uses, or do I throw it on a shelf and let it collect dust so that I can buy shiny new toys...

It's called "NetBSD".
Or "devil's advocate".
Australia has a Furniture Industry Association of America? You guys _are_ funny.
You could call it "Linucks for dumies"
Was the phrase "IANAL". Finally, someone on /. who _is_ a lawyer, not just playing one.
The price of liberty is eternal vigilance. Most of us are snoozing while Big Brother is hatching all sorts of nefarious plots to own us.

A mad cow? Or Bessie the discontented cow?

Not in the current regime. Freedom of association is dead. Bring on the battalions of lawyers.
I even saw one in the Frankfurt, Germany, area. My host said diplomatically, "It does OK, but we Germans often like high quality."
Plus, when you _go_ to WalMart, you can feel thin again.
The Divine Right of Kings has changed to The Divine State. We must obey the will of the State.
True, and papers in the US uniformly stink.
Don't forget Kitty Kelly.

Colin Powell will present incontrovertible evidence Feb 8. linking Hussein with Sanford Wallace.

He was probably overly nice and diplomatic.

You obviously don't have a Messianic view of the State. What's wrong with you?

Are you nuts? You definitely buy new stuff!
