2) I will tax the top 5% and distribute the wealth through increased funding for basic academic research, reimburse college loans for students carrying 3.2GPA or higher, national daycare programs, and national health care programs. As a libertarian I would dispise such a change. I'd reduce tax drastically and make it flat - everyone pays the same amount. I would introduce a complete user-pays system for everything - including education, roading. I would remove the consept of a pension - people should save for themselves.
3) Prosecute the supreme court justices who appointed Bush, and every person in the federal governemnt who continued to aid and abet the terrorist regime.
4) Establish a department of peace, reduce military funding, and give anyone a seat a a negotiating table so we do not have to fight them "over there" or "over here".
5) Reparations for the victims of hurrican katrina who were failed by their governments. It's not the taxpayers responsibility to fund disaster recovery efforts. A compassionate community should be able to do that without needing to have the government confiscate our property from us (in the form of taxes).

I've been running triple head for a couple of years now (on Gentoo) with minimal issues and before that was running dual head for a few years (also Gentoo) - without issues. (My only current issue is that Beryl/Compiz won't work with Xinerama).
Where <domain> is replaced with your domain name and <machine-name> is replaced with the name of your machine. OO.o does some silly dns lookup or some such thing and having a specially crafted "127.0.0.1" setting in your hosts file greatly speeds up OO.o.
If you could do that on 3 monitors, that would be great! At the moment though I see no way of achieving those 3d effects across 3 monitors that are represented as a single screen.
It doesn't work with a triple head setup though. I have 3 LCD's and use twinview to join the left two which provides one logical xinerama screen, and the xinerama extension joins the right hand (3rd) LCD into the mix. Given I want to stay with 3 screens providing a "big desktop", I'm stuck in plain old 2D world for a while.
I would love to take advantage of the eye candy a 3D accelerated desktop provides, but until I can do it with a multi-head setup it won't get used by me. The COMPOSITE extension doesn't play well with the XINERAMA extension. It's a showstopper for me.
Indeed. There are many technical ways to get around blocks. A client I worked for knew which websites we visited and although it wasn't an issue they were amused how much time was spent bidding on online auctions. The solution? Us NX to connect to my home computer and do remote X through NX to visit whatever site I want. All they see is encrypted traffic on port 22.
I have 6 virtual desktops with a triple head setup (giving me 4240x1050 pixels per desktop). I dedicate 1 desktop per client and often have a console on "all desktops" (as I use it a lot). I'd normally have between 15 and 30 windows opened at once (at least that's how many are in my task list). That number doubles if I use Gimp.
Rethink your desktop, abandoning the Windows-like defaults you were given. Do like the UNIX workstation users.
Another huge productivity boost can be seen when using dual or triple monitors. Combine that with 4 to 6 virtual desktops and you should never minimise a window again. I have a triple head setup (17" LCD, 20" widescreen LCD, 17" LCD) and use a different virtual desktop for each type of task or for each client I'm working on. As suggested, set "focus follows mouse". I also set "double click on title bar" to "put on all desktops". I tend to have at least Konsole on all desktops, and sometimes VMWare, depending on what I'm doing. Makes a big difference - it's amazing how trapped I feel when I work on a single head Windows computer.
I am a developer for an ERP solution and we recommend people do not run any other hefty applications (i.e. mail servers, web servers) etc, when they host the server for our application on Windows. Why? Because when they start complaining about performance that's where we point the finger first. If we don't know what other processes are doing on the server, then diagnosing performance issues is more difficult. Anyway - when the software costs 5 or 6 figures, and the hardware only 4, it's not a big deal from a financial perspective.
Sponsoring people based on gender is prejudiced. I didn't like apartheid in South Africa and I see this in a similar light - it's discrimination based on something that cannot be changed. Next they'll be sponsoring blue eyed people because not enough blue eyed people work on Gnome - as if it even matters what colour your eyes are, or in this case what your gender is.
You can ALWAYS get other customers/bosses/co-workers but you can't get another family.
Too true. I did a month stint on a high deadline job a while back and while my wife supported me 100%, it was hard on both of us. I flat out refuse to do it again, and management know this. I've made it clear that no job or project is more important than my family.
ssh provides ample access, and if you need access to a GUI then remote X will do the job (we use an NXClient connecting to a FreeNX server). All over an ssh tunnel.
Why stop at a TV license? Why not cherge people progressively more for bread, milk, meat, cars, computers etc. based on their income. I mean, surely it's unfair that that rich pay proportionally less of their income on food than the poor do - right? That's the logical conclusion of such a corrupt socialist system - people are rewarded for doing poorly and punished for doing well. Quite frankly it sucks.
I do the same. In my case it's to get around the firewall of a client of mine who changed from a PPTP VPN solution to a proprietary one that I just can't get working on Gentoo from home. They understand that if they want me to work from home (which is 200km away) then I need access to their network.
I have a reverse ssh tunnel setup from an office computer (also running Gentoo). I use autossh (which I highly recommend) which ensures that the reverse ssh tunnel is always up. Even if my machine is rebooted or my dynamic IP changes, the office computer still established the remote SSH tunnel (with the help of dyndns).
Through this tunnel I forward port 5900 (VNC) and 3389 (for rdesktop usage). Forwarding additional porta through the tunnel is a simple matter of doing a:
ssh -L:: -L -p localhost cat -
Works very well, is ultra reliable and fast. Also a darn site more secure (IMO) than the VPN solution. The VPN solution is still only as secure as the usernames and passwords. to hack my reverse ssh you'd have to somehow hack the dyndns entry to point my domain name to your machine, then somehow get my private/public ssh key pair AND know my username and password.
The definition of a word is exactly that, what people define as the meaning of the word.
From this discussion (and others I have had) the term "atheism" is a word with two common and quite different meanings. I, myself, take the the meaning of the word from it Latin roots, and also because there is no single word in english that merans "lacks belief in gods".
I always thought that zone plates ("lenses" that use diffraction instead of refraction) give a higher degree of accuracy a lower wavelengths. Zone plates are often used where a traditional lens is opaque to certain wavelengths outside of the visible spectrum.
So what do you call a "belief of lack", if not atheism? Because there certainly are people who believe exactly that, and they all call themselves atheists.
People who hold that position are atheists, but not all atheists hold that position. I.e. they are a subset of all atheists. Some would use the term "strong atheism", but being an atheist does not imply that position.
Agnosticism is the state of believing *knowledge* of gods is impossible, atheism is a lack of belief (not a belief of lack). Agnosticism is about knowledge, not belief.

Make sure you have this in you /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost.<domain> localhost <machine-name> <machine-name>. <machine-name>.<domain>
Where <domain> is replaced with your domain name and <machine-name> is replaced with the name of your machine. OO.o does some silly dns lookup or some such thing and having a specially crafted "127.0.0.1" setting in your hosts file greatly speeds up OO.o.

Slashdot didn't convert the "<" tags from the command. it should be:
ssh -L <local port>:<internal address of remote computer to forward to>:<remote port> -p <local reverse tunnel port> localhost cat -
