Oops, typo, he can't run until 2016. Most likely Maddox will be the Republican pick for President because most of the modern Republicans left after Bush can't get their shit together to run a decent campaign like Maddox could.
Why does everyone always sing the praises of civil disobedience? What good did it do for Gandhi? He's dead. What the hell is civil disobedience anyway? You can add the word "civil" to any crime (and yes, protesting is a crime, or will be if I'm elected in office), and suddenly it has a positive connotation? What next, civil first degree felony with aggravated assault? What's worse is that these black-foots stink up the streets with their VW bugs and harass the officers just trying to crack some skull. Which leads me to my next point:
No more police. Police officers will be replaced with a strike force with the ability to tap into your phone conversations, spy on your Internet connection, arrest you for no reason or any reason at all, and interrogate you behind closed doors during secret hearings. It'll be awesome, and if anyone complains, they will be labeled unpatriotic. The beauty of it is that people won't protest because protesters will be victims of police brutality. The reason I say victims is because the punishment for the crime of brutalizing police would be murder. It's the criminals who need to be brutalized, not the police.
You thought Bush was bad? Wait until Maddox is President in 2012?:)
Besides it is not like she spammed them with Viagra sales pitches, it was just some stupid protest that was part of the liberal agenda her liberal professor told her to do like a good little puppet. The Internet is full of such liberal puppets and they are on Slashdot as well.
What is a Bad Patent anyway? Slip the clerk a $100 bill to change the date stamp to the 1980's and claim everyone else stole from your patent?
I would rather think it would be something like trying to patent a FOSS name like "Linux" as a "trademark" and not a patent.
The cost of filing a patent is expensive, so when a FOSS invents something, someone else patents their work as their own, now that would be a bad patent. Can some FOSS group help FOSS afford patent fees to avoid others filing a patent for their work?
Actually sometimes instead of out of memory errors you get blue screens or a system crash instead. Such is the curse of Windows. Unless you use a different OS that does not require as much memory like a Dumb Terminal, Thin Client, or Network Computer that stores data on a remote computer.
Well a form of VM is used when a computer goes into standby mode or hibernates. This is to save power, when the computer wakes up it pulls data out of the hibernation VM file into main memory.
Oh it has been used and is found in most encyclopedias but you are confusing computer concepts with various types and classifications of memory like L1 and L2 cache memory like a n00b would.
You want a 4G RAM system to hit virtual memory load up several videos, edit huge pictures in Photoshop, open up as many application windows as you can until you finally hit the page file. Sure the average user just surfing the Internet and writing word processing documents and email won't hit that page file, but the above average user that loads a lot of things into memory will.
By writing funny comments like you just replied to.:)
Orion Blastar is my "character" account that writes comments that are meant to be funny. Like writing in a pre-21st century concept of memory and calling someone a n00b.:)
I guess you weren't smart enough to "get it"?;)
In most of my comments I leave the smiley faces off and see who gets the jokes.
End Illicit Drug prohibition and more people will use them, and the DUI charges will increase and more innocent people will get killed in DUI accidents.
What amount of money can you put on a human being's life snuffed out by a pothead or cokehead who couldn't control their car? It is bad enough we got drunk driving and boozeheads killed plenty of innocent people already, we don't need to drive that number up.
welcome to computer science. There are two types of memory, primary memory and secondary memory.
Primary memory are RAM chips, Random Access Memory, the computer uses them as a temporary storage to run the operating system and programs within it.
The secondary memory are such devices as hard drives, USB drives, SD flash memory cards, etc. When something is saved to secondary memory it is permanent unless it is deleted later.
When an operating system runs out of primary memory it has a backup called virtual memory by caching out data from primary memory to secondary memory, mostly things not recently used.
Even though you have 4 gigs of RAM in your system, it might not be enough if the operating system has over 4 gigs of data it is processing. Eventually you'd need virtual memory. Even Bill Gates was wrong in the 1980's when he said 640K ought to be enough for anybody, because the people who did graphic photo work needed megabytes of memory just to hold a photograph in memory at the time.
If there was no virtual memory on your Vista computer you'd get "out of memory" errors that used to be quite common on 1970's and 1980's 8 bit computers that had less than 64K of RAM. My old Timex/Sinclair 1000 had 4K of RAM and that 16K add-on pack didn't always connect right so my BASIC programs always got the "out of memory" errors. Back there there was no such thing as hard drives and the T/S 1000 only used a cassette tape and not a hard drive for secondary storage. For some reason the quality of the Sinclair computers in the USA were not as good as in the UK as they teamed up with Timex and had poor quality and Atari and Commodore beat them in the USA while in the UK the Sinclair series got Sir Sinclair Knighted.
But your question is quite funny in a way, as it shows your ignorance of how a computer works, and shows how low in quality Slashdot's article publish system has become. Computer Science 101 can easily answer your question. But then there are no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid people, whom the US Philosopher Ron White says cannot be fixed, but I disagree that they can be educated to be smarter.

Actually Microsoft wrote IBM PC-DOS and resold it as MS-DOS to Dell, Compaq, Gateway, etc. IBM had a loophole in their contract with Microsoft that did not prevent them from selling the same software under a different name to others.
Mac OSX is written by Apple, and they claim that installing it on a non-Apple branded PC is piracy.
That could be the difference based on the EULA, but otherwise there is no legal reason why a non-Apple branded PC cannot run Mac OSX besides the Apple EULA for it.
you are making Big Brother in George Orwell's "1984" because they will watch your Internet usage to make sure you don't break any laws.
We need to innovate our way out and block virus like code from being transmitted and make better encryption for business transactions.
Also companies cannot leave hard drives with unencrypted credit card and bank account numbers on it so people can steal them and do identity theft with them or sell the list. They should encrypt the list and not leave the decryption key on the hard drive.
I think that Red Hat can bundle FOSS and support in one package that CentOS cannot offer.
Also Red Hat should be making Linux native programs for Business to use to help switch them off of Windows and MS-DOS and over to Linux. maybe bundle those Business applications with Red Hat Enterprise and leave them out of Fedora and CentOS.
Let's face it, people want more than just an alternative OS, they also want useful applications for their business.
Individuals will want CentOS, but businesses want to be able to switch from Windows to Linux only if the software they need to run their business exists for Linux. That is a big problem that Linux has in getting companies to switch to Linux. For example my brother-in-law has PLC and Voice software that does not run in Vista and he has to run 2000 or XP in order for them to work. But if Linux versions existed he'd reformat his laptop to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and buy a copy if it could do what 2000 and XP do and run the business applications he wants to run. No they won't run in WINE either.
We will see human personalities downloaded into a human like Cylon after Zoe Graystone dies in a terrorist attack. Then Zoe-R will be the prototype for the human Cylons. 50 years before the fall of the Twelve Colonies.
The Adamas will most likely be opposed to the creation of the new Cylons and feud with the Graystones who created them, but they have Graystones involved in relationships with the Adamas to make it more complex.
You do it like Apple does, free version is Darwin, commercial version is Mac OSX.
The free version is the core, skeleton, just the basics needed. The Commercial version is the skeleton with meat added on it for bells and whistles and features.
The BSD model works great for Apple.
Red Hat uses the GPL model, the free version is Fedora and the commercial version is Red Hat Enterprise. Novell free version is OpenSuSE, Commercial version is Suse.
There there are custom versions that fit a certain client's need like a glove. One size does not always fit all, and sometimes you have to custom tailor a version for each client.
Also you sell bundles as solutions and the client pays you to set it up for them.
we can finally unfreeze Walt Disney, and bring Elvis back to life. Maybe we could bring back George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to advise Barrack Obama?:)
Ah for the good old days when only Jesus could raise the dead.
Macs used to have 15% to 20% marketshare in the early 1990's. Now they have less than 10%, when they had the Mac Clones they really sold a lot of them.
If Apple allowed Mac Clones again, I am sure Macs could easily capture that 20% all over again.
Does that report count retrocomputers that run MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 and Windows 95? I know a lot of people who still do use older PC technology. Modern Linux won't run on them unless it is command line based. The old 8M and constantly swapping Windows 95 machines with a 486DX 66Mhz processor or 386SX processor at 16 Mhz.

Yes Civil Disobedience is still Disobedience according to Maddox.

It also could be that when people get stoned, it makes the stupid. Then they do stupid things like drive stoned or rob banks.
If so why do people still drive drunk when alcohol is legal? Why don't we model a safe use pattern after alcohol first to see if it works?
