I'm looking for investors in a company that's planning to make a Space Gun Accelerator and we're going to be using Carbon Nanotubes, you insensitive clod!
I disagree with your dichotomy of Faith and Proof. These two are not opposites. Due to the nature of how humans use symbols in language, everything rests on the quality and quantity of proof for or how much faith you have in the symbols you use accurately correlating with a given concept. That's to say that, when push comes to shove, your confidence you've picked the right word to communicate a concept to me is an act of faith or statistically-verified proof. Even 'the ratio of the diameter to circumference of a flawless circle' requires us to be sure that {ratio, diameter, circumference, flaw, circle} are appropriate terminology, even if Pi is a proven constant.
Then I'm mistaken that fanatical obsession over small details, technologically-advanced devices and obscure fields are the mark of a geek. Sorry that this attempt at humour failed.
I apologise for the confusion: the original post should have read "...not as final as death". I don't think that manslaughter for self-defence is murder either, but I do think that taking life is to be avoided wherever possible.
It's inexcusable to say that murder is ever an appropriate recourse after crime. But then, I don't support capital punishment. For the simple reason that, as terrible as Identity Theft is, it's not as final as murder.
Afterall, with ZFS being open source, Apple doesn't have to pay royalties or licensing fees to them. The CDDL isn't acknowledged as a 'free' copyright license in the same way that the GPL or BSD license are. Additionally, there are elements of ZFS which are patented by Sun Microsysytems. I don't think it's at no cost to Apple Inc.
Hey, I'm sorry, I was being facetious about the state of Slash. I'd tagged the post with [sarc] to indicate that I wasn't being serious. I know what it's like to have little-known but excellent restaurants, and know it'd be cool to see them noted.
I don't know if you were around in February 1993 when Al Qaeda operatives tried that with a truck full of explosives, planning to have Tower One collapse into and take down Tower Two. But the structure in the WTC towers were stronger than that, having load-bearing columns in the external frame of the building as well as its core. The truck bomb filled the central core with smoke, but it wasn't enough to do more than a five-storey (out of 110) hole -- with the building still standing.

I guess you could probably use SELinux permissions to deny anything from the Google Desktop access to anything like a network interface.
Winelib, if Picasa is the pattern they're following.
The stuff at http://www.microsoft-watch.com/content/security/mi crosoft_is_counting_bugs_again.html shows that the Microsoft count is per patch instead of per vulnerability. I don't think it is a fair comparison, and Jones should have admitted that.

You are Jeff Murdoch, and I claim my five pounds.
The Mono C# compiler and tools are GPL; the runtime, LGPL; the headers, MIT X11. I guess that would put the Moonlight stuff as LGPL.

I see that you're also unable to click links and find things out for yourself. I'll take that as strike two. :P
Please hand in your geek card: FIC neo1973 is the OpenMOKO free-as-in-gplv2 handset.
Gamma radiation is too fast. Water's slow enough to get in. Remember: "the slow blade penetrates the shield".
We're still held hostage to the atomic bomb, first made and used by the US...
I agree with the "Overrated" moderation; I didn't realise this was contentious and I really didn't know I spoke Troll.

Thanks for your comment. I take the loss of life as the adequate proof that execution is excessive punishment.

Dunno -- it might be a fatal flaw in the universe, so keep quiet. File it under "3) ???", before "4) Profit!"

That's fast. The last chap was up the mountain getting them for 40 days but then spent 40 years wandering the desert...
Vin Diesel? Bah. Jennifer Aniston is the new Vin Diesel.

I suspect you missed the [sarc] tag in my original reply.
Slashdot's really gone down the tubes: corporate shills every-bloody-where.
Parent post made me laugh. I would rate it "+1, Funny". Thanks for listening.
