Yeah, but you can't tell it properly without the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, and Turgon, and that ties the story too much into the wider context of Sil, so it'll have to wait for a TV miniseries or something that can have a total length of 20 hours. Otherwise, the curse on Turin doesn't make sense.
Sil was published by CT, but not in the manner of HoME. HoME is the description of the process leading up to Sil; Sil is what CT decided (at the time) the most publishable possible end-product looked like.
Well, yeah. Deal is, most of Sil was repeatedly `finished'. There were three major revisions before the LotR, the last of which was mostly finished (ready enough to submit to a publisher (or so Tolkien thought)) when Tolkien began LotR.
Good God NO! LotR was the story Tolkien did not want to tell, the story he avoided telling, the story he regarded as an accidental by-product. Sil was the story Tolkien wanted to tell, the story he invented in the trenches (although as a national mythology for England to rival those of Greece and Rome, not as a `cautionary tale'---one of the fundamental (and ancient) bits is the story of Luthien, grown out of his wife's (at the time his girlfriend's visit to France). Sil was the story Tolkien was willing to ditch publisher, friend, and early audience and critic of LotR to get published. Sil was Tolkien's life work, the story he could never finish because it was too much a part of him, and he wasn't finished yet. It wasn't `historical notes'---those were the Annals, the Lhambarkanta (sp?) and the linguistic material. The Sil was the story Rumil and Pengolod made of that material, and which Aelfwine translated into English.
In summary: you don't understand it. Try reading the History of Middle-Earth before you spout off about it.
Note: it's not because I'm trying to specifically exclude stupid users, it's just that it takes a hell of a lot more work to create a dumbed-down interface, and that these type of interfaces often make things slower
Very true. In fact, I go one step further and eliminate all error checks and attempts at stability. Restarting after a crash is faster and easier to code than proper error recovery or attention to correctness, believe me. Besides, I know how to avoid the bugs.
Um... he's not complaining about the existence of the dialog, just that the prompt gives you no idea which username to give. If you've ever installed linux, you know there are at least two identities you could have at any given time; which one do you log in as?
Besides, what's the difference between `administration', `manage printer classes', and `manage printers'? And, why is there a redirect page to this under/usr/share/doc/cups-1.6.1? And why is that redirection page called `printers'?
I'm sorry, are you really anal enough you can't use the dialog because there's a deep meaning to the capitalization and layout of the dialog beyond `here's where the buttons are'?
I'm the beta tester if I'm using the CVS or a pretest. If I'm using a version that's not only released but in a distribution, it's no longer beta and I shouldn't have to be a beta tester. And, the point of OSS is not that I personally am a beta tester, but that many people like me, with access to the source are beta testers.
3: Your choice of media is such that you don't see the full statements of those released
I suspect number 3.
But if your choice of media were such that you did see the full statements of those released, and if such statements included allegations of torture, then you would be able to quote such allegations and provide citations. Since you haven't, I suspect you're bluffing and trying to change the subject from the facts to your paranoia of Fox.
Most conservatives don't think owning a gun is morally wrong. And the ACLU would still be refusing to defend free speech, when they disagree with the content of that speech.
the settlers who had grown rich through exploiting the land
How do you `exploit' land?
and from slavery
Which (a) didn't exist in Massachusettes, where the revolution started, and (b) was dieing out where it did exist.
Luckily the French were on hand to provide a professional army and navy which was just as well since the poorly equipped and badly trained settlers were being cut to pieces by the professional army of the English.
Not that french involvement changed things all that much...
This isn't a 2nd ammendment issue. Even if the government mandated this filtering software, it wouldn't be a 2nd ammendment issue. It would be a 1st ammendment issue. Since when does the ACLU consider the right to disagree with them `immaginary'?
Oh and, btw., the ACLU has defended NAMBLA's right to tell perverts how to rape people and get away with it, so that half of the argument doesn't was either.
No, I most certainly can defend access to any and all content I want to defend access to.
OTOH, why do you think you can object to parents being informed about what, exactly, they are doing with the `control' they obtain by installing this product?
I have two questions: 1. Are you and NanoGator different people? 2. Do you and NanoGator ever actually do anything on/. besides flame people who praise/recommend Linux (even jokingly)?
if Bush looses power in such a way that a return of Republican government looks to be unlikely in the near future then Fox news will flip flop to the left.
Just like Fox was leftist when Clinton was president, right?
Have you read the book? The point is to develop small software: fetchmail, termcap, GUD, Emacs version control, etc. (all projects he either originated or maintains).

LotR series? Have you read anything by Tolkien? I mean, this is worse than `trilogy' even...
Hello? This is Eric Raymond, famous gun-toting loony-anarchist neo-pagan `witch'. If you don't know who he is, go find out.
This is a wonderful, discussion-opening subject line. I applaud your dedication to the quest for truth.

If the people on that board are majority share holders, they have the option.
