I had assumed Ogg Vorbis would would become a CODEC which could then be used to create/play music files in an.MP3 format. (Much like DivX for video... well, except more on the level.) Does Ogg necessitate creating a new extension/bindings etc?
I'll probably get modded down for linking an MS site, but this satire says it all.
YES! Because today's SUV pollutes less than an economy car from the 70s. I guess speaking the truth does require "balls".
Yes, I'm sure they pollute less than coal trains and volcanoes too. Irrelevant. 70's econo-boxes were designed to save gas, and probably spit out greenhouse gases like crazy. Back then nobody knew any better. Now we do. Where did you get this tidbit anyway?
I didn't say anything about the Kyoto treaty one way or another. Does it actually have any effect on SUV's?
My main point is that it's not just FUD that people hate SUV's. They're unsafe (well for everybody ELSE anyway), are actually REVERSING the trend in US fuel efficiency, and they're too big for drivers to park correctly or drive within the lanes (this just coming from my observation and dings in my doors).
As far as your popularity "argument", I KNOW they're popular. So is crack. That's the whole problem. I'm tempted to buy one myself so when a soccer mom yelling at her kids in the back seat slams into me, I'm not killed.
I love how you have the balls to try and say Americans don't pollute more than other countries, and ALSO mention SUV's.
I certainly hate SUV's. It's the ultimate self-absorbed, take-whats-mine, do-it-cuz-I-can attitude. I think most other people who DON'T drive SUV's are also annoyed with:
not being able to see the road due to the oversized 'offroad' station-wagons
the fact that what should be a fender-bender usually ends up getting the non-SUV driver injured or killed
How they guzzle gas and have higher emissions, yet get around the gas-guzzler tax by using the truck/van loophole.
Of course, I'm replying to the ever-assinine Anonymous Coward, so I've probably just be trolled.
I thought Mandrake was based on RedHat. I know it uses rpm's. Wouldn't it carry all the benefits as far as hardware detection? Or has it forked completely some time before the current RedHat?
Actually, blood-caffeine content is tested and limited in certain chess 'Federations' although the actual benefits seem to be anecdotal at best.
Competitors and tournament officials alike said they had never heard of a chess player taking drugs to become sharper -- although a good strong cup of coffee was not out of the question. Even then, the caffeine level in players' blood is restricted under Spanish federation rules.

Yeah, I know all the press I've seen has said, "Apache, an alternative and better web server, and would have saved all these admins from this huge headache."

Perhaps instead of a War on Drugs, we should have a War on Broadband, instead? It's equally addictive, and more expensive than most drug habits.
Dude, you GOTTA tell me where you're getting your drugs. Cuz if you can support a drug habit at $50/month your Sams Club must have a drug section.
Unless of course you're talking about your PORN addiction. God knows how much you can blow on pay-per-porno sites.
Yes, with the collapse of Covad, Ricochet, and now Rhythms, I wouldn't be surprised if the average bandwidth/user on the internet is going DOWN for the first time in the internet's history.
Well, the first time outside the Melissa virus and when AOHell changed over to unlimited monthly anyway.
So who's suing? The owner of the infected box? I hope he enjoys the counter-suit by me and several hundred neighbors all armed with logs showing his computer attempting to infect us.
Hmm. What country are you talking about? In the US, school districts require it... and who requires you to go to school? Say it with me now: the GOVERNMENT. (see: TRUANT OFFICER)
This is wonderful advice, so long as your morality system can be summed up as "don't get sued".
Ask your lawyer the same question about an injured person lying in the street. If you do nothing, they can't sue you right? but if try to help them, you might actually injure them and they'll sue you. Does this mean the RIGHT action is to do nothing? No. It means the legal system is fucked.

If you're talking about the Microsoft patch, you're the moron. You're right that the worm has been disassembled and we know what it does, and it's NOT only memory-resident. The Microsoft patch will save if you only if you're not already infected. If you have been infected, your registry settings have been altered to allow filesharing of your c and d drives and a trojan explorer.exe has been placed in your c:\ directory to restart the worm on reboot (and then run the real explorer.exe so you don't notice).
We now have a millions of machines excercising security by obscurity.
If the infected machines are constantly running 300 threads advertising the fact that they're compromised, that's not very obscure, now is it?
Considering how many scans I get on a cable network and how prized cable-based zombie machines are for DDoS attacks, I'd say there's a good number of scripties out there amassing huge collections of boxen...
"Hacked by chinese" WTF? Spending all that time devising a crufty virus, and that's all they have to say?
Yes it was rather crufty wasn't it?;) I believe the 'Hacked by Chinese' tagging was limited to CodeRed 1 (and 1a or whatever they call it). Which is totally NOT what we're talking about here. In case you didn't know.
