A firewall is an ugly security hack. Ports that you need listening to the outside world won't be helped by a firewall (unless you selectively allow packets through) and ports that you don't need listening to the outside world shouldn't be listening to the outside world. A properly configured system is secure without needing a firewall as a crutch.
Why should Bill Gates be irritated that he can't steal code from GPL projects? Just because it's open source doesn't make it his code any more than the code of a proprietary competitor is his.
I can't see how any reasonable, thinking person would see the GPL license as anything but generous.
You can't write a bash script in C++, that's not what he was saying. He was saying in Unix by default you can choose from several interactive shells as well as several different programming and scripting languages. This is quite unlike the Windows approach.
Nifty feature? That seems to me like something obvious you should always have been able to do. I don't use cmd often, but I seem to run into that bit of foolishness whenever I do. That and the pathetic inability to resize the terminal.

Yes. You may be a self-aware intellect, but obviously not a humor-aware one.
NASA is detecting upward temperature trends on Mars and I really don't think that is amendable to human intervention.
Oh yeah, you think it's just a coincidence that Mars is experiencing global warming after NASA has been driving two cars around the planet for over a year?
For instance, assume the Earth is warming in a non-cyclic pattern. Is the answer to destroy industrialized civilization in order to save it or is it possible to use our science to offset the bad effects?
No one is out to destroy industrialized civilization so put away the tin foil, but I'm sorry to report that industrialized civilization will be fucked anyway when we hit peak oil. Whether you deny the human influence on global warming or not, we have no choice but to move beyond petroleum post-haste.
The area where they "almost" cancel each other out wouldn't be large enough to worry about as the tidal forces are extremely intense near a black hole. In fact, they are strong enough that you would be torn apart by just falling into a single black hole, you don't need the tug of another singularity to do the damage.

Hey, the man says he's a dentist. Who are we to doubt him.
Personally, I'm very consistent about which side I use my phone on. Be it cellular or land line I nearly always talk on my right side. I use a phone on my left on occasion for various reasons, but it feels awkward when I do.
Isn't Osama a bad example? He isn't a suicide bomber after all. Perhaps the people who organize and recruite bombers are motivated more by politics then by desperation, but don't they need a large pool of desperate souls to find people willing to actually strap on the explosive belt?
I haven't read that book you refer to, so I am very curious what it has to say about that.
I care quite a bit because I think this is an overreaching attempt to control what people do in their own homes. The content of video games should be way outside the jurisdiction of the government. This is just as bad as Ted Steven's recent attempt to bring cable and satellite tv under FCC supervision.
Another reason why I am very much opposed to it is because it is a waste of time and money. There are so many issues that congress needs to be dealing with: the war, economy, environment, political corruption, energy. Even if this was an issue that congress should be involved in, it is still a waste of time compared to all the important issues that she should be focusing on.
If you use a license key you downloaded from your favorite warez site, hopefully all the games you download from that site will be tied to the same license:)
I believe being under 18 doesn't mean they aren't allowed to agree to the EULA, it juts means that their agreement isn't leagally binding. That would mean Sony's EULA wouldn't protect them (assuming the EULA is even worth the electron's it is written in).
It's pretty much just the Cocoa software written in ObjC. The Mach kernel was developed independant of NeXTSTEP or OS X, so it would be very surprising to see it written in ObjC. I'm pretty sure it is written in plain c.

Thanks!
Would you mind sharing an example of how you embed HTML in your PHP? I'm curious, I've never found a way that I was terribly happy with.

It's not whining, it's called stating the truth.

Damn! Where are the hell are my mod points when I truly need them? That is one of the most insightful comments I've ever seen on /.
And as a bonus, all the radioactivity will lead to even more biodiversity!
Also, regarding VMS. VMS is a rock solid OS, but still from what I know, it isn't nearly as flexible as Unix. Personally I don't like DCL at all.

The problem with extra shielding is that it weights more. Weight is a big concern for commercial aircraft.

Absolutly brilliant idea!!!

Why are they different? I don't think that's obvious at all.
In 1990 MTV wasn't bad, since Yo! MTV Raps took over it's gone to shit (all programming no music).
Yo! MTV Raps was a music show. I believe instead MTV's The Real World was probably the beginning of when MTV started turning to shit.
