Wel I'm not USian, right? BAh anyway the latest vote here was for reducing the president mandate from 7 to 5 years... I did'nt care either way so I did'nt vote... just like most people here. First time I ever missed a vote.
Gandi was created by hacktivists who know their shit about censorship... among them is Valentin Lacambre, former operator of Altern.org, the ad-less free hosting service which had to close dues to too many lawsuits and unfriendly laws.
Well in France, Microsoft would come to the door and I would tell them to fuck off.
Seriously, BSA is in some trouble here because they sent threatening letters, and actually the implied threats in it make it illegal (according to one lawyer at least, but go figure how it would turn out in court...) since it might fall under slander/libel laws and a few other reasons.
$100,000 per violation? That's insane. Question: suppose you cripple someone. Will you ever pay $100k in damage? Maybe, but probably not. A piece of crappy software is therefore more important than a life... great world we're leaving in. Don't forget to hug your lobbyist.
I know Goreisn't against it; he's not because he would'nt stand a chance to be elected given the mindset on that topic for most americans. However, Bush is ACTIVELY supporting it, and has refused numerous time to grant any grace whatsoever, even in very very very dodgy cases.
I guess it's a good topic to laugh about, but let's keep one thing in mind, one thing that's not exactly funny: Bush is a criminal, a criminal because he has a sad track records with death penalty. Legal murders are the worst of all developed countries, and Texas alone compares quite "well" with such "democracies" as Saudi Arabia or China.
Way to go, Dubya! To all of you who are going to vote Bush, FUCK YOU, you're a bunch of criminals, or accomplices at best. Especially those of you who are stupid enough to elect him for tax cuts.
I know you mean this as a flame, but as far as *code* stability is concerned (not talking about database stability -- which would require transaction to have any kind of meaning), I've never ever seen MySQL crash on me in like 4 years of using it... quite impressive.
Most ascii file schemes end up eating some shit usually. And Access... BURP.
Look, you keep changing the parameters... First you said the volume is constant. Then you say n is constant. Nope. Either you consider the tank and tank only, in which n rises and therefore P, or you consider the gas at P=1 atm, whose volume will shrink to fit the tank...
Bah, it's just common sense; clothes can't be bought on the net. You have to try them out. Except maybe for socks and briefs. And then women would still want to touch them before buying. But fuck, I would never buy shoes without trying them out.
I bought groceries on the net and got them delivered yesterday, and it actually is convenient. Especially all those milk bottles and coke and beer and Perrier that are quite heavy, I'm glad the delivery boy had to walk the three stairs for me... eh eh. What irked me though is that they went a bit hard on the packaging. I had to put 3 kilos of cardboard boxes and plastic fillers in the dump... not exactly environmental friendly...

Modded down more than up? Mah, wrong I'm still flying at 50. Thank you very much.

What do they know about perl? They don't even USE it as their database package!

AFAIK, you're wrong. Quick google search yielded this.
It was introduced before Napoleon, BTW.

But who are the competitors?

As anyone who has pumped up their tires knows, it takes lots of work and a good deal of that work is wasted as heat.
... but the slower you go to fill that tank, the lower the loss ... limit being 0.
So if you have time (like, while you sleep), the loss could be very small.
