I am posting to undo accidentally moderating the parent redundant. Should've been insightful. Africa is not just made up of villages in need of running water & sewerage.
Try counting the instances for each OS, and perhaps you'll see....that the majority of times the tag is incorrectly applied is for Windows? So why mention OS X or Linux at all?
Unlike Al Gore, what the parent describes is not Palin's M/O.
Let me get this straight, you seriously believe Al Gore's M/O is:
trying to connect this blob with the second coming of Christ, or the rapture, or something? Or, going for the Ghostbusters explanation, saying that the blob contains all the evil left wing energy from California that's been seeping into the Ocean over the past 50 years from all the liberals and fags. Then hiring the FagBusters from Kansas, led by Rev. Fred Phelps, arm them with unlicensed nuclear accelerators, to come up with a solution.
Yeah, that just reeks of Al Gore's M/O. Thanks for pointing that our - and thanks to the moderators who modded you insightful too.
were shots fired at her dad's house. This is an out right fabrication. No shots were ever fired I know quite a few of the police officers in town and none of them can account for any of that sort of thing.
I don't see how you can assert that it is an outright fabrication. Even a police officer can't say for certain that something did not happen.
If you have any other questions about it let me know. ..
Why are the people in your town so petty and pathetic that they give a flying fuck what's on a myspace page?
Tech oriented? Why don't you come up with a solution then? This is not a hard problem to solve.

Aaaaaaaaah, OK. I see where you're coming from.
The most obvious solution I can think of (assuming you're on XP/Vista) is for you to set up a second user and Fast user switch whenever someone else wants to use your laptop.
Assuming your classmate's technical competence is below yours, that should be adequate security measures.
Yes, absolutely, they do.. except for the whole patches upstream part.. last I heard, that doesn't actually happen. Bug reports upstream, sure.
Oh, you heard did you? Want to provide us with a link to back up your assertion?
Here's a choice quote from my link:
GregKH: "Canonical only contributed 6 patches in 5 years"
BenC: First off, Canonical hasn't even been around for 5 years, so expressing the numbers in this way leads to some incorrect conclusions. Second off, using a check for ^Author with a canonical.com or ubuntu.com email address in the v2.6.25 tag of the upstream kernel tree, shows 91 commits (I should know the numbers, since 63 of those were from me). Granted, Redhat and SuSe outnumber us considerably, but then we don't have > 100 kernel developers on staff (we have less than 10).
I know, I was trying to say that maybe the MS/Oracle thing was a similar case, but they just assumed they'd get enough randomness without telling people
When you try to return data from Microsoft Query 97 to a Microsoft Excel 97 worksheet, the spinning globe icon (which signifies that a query is processing) may appear for a long time, and then the query returns no data to your worksheet.
WORKAROUND
*snip*
Method 2: Move Your Mouse Pointer
If you move your mouse pointer continuously while the data is being returned to Microsoft Excel, the query may not fail. Do not stop moving the mouse until all the data has been returned to Microsoft Excel.
NOTE: Depending on your query, it may take several minutes to return the results of your query to the worksheet.

if you are using software in violation of a EULA then you are technically using it without a lice nse
Well whoop di fucking do. That's not the same as warezing it. Is it?
technically violating the EULA in this manner means that you are using the software Unlicensed. This is the same as warezing it
Oh FFS. If you'd bothered to read the thread before replying, you would've seen this comment.
Violating the EULA is not the same as infringing copyright.
Yes, yes it is - the EULA is *exactly* what gives you the right to have a copy of the OS on your machine
Wrong
it's pretty much the same thing since a EULA is an agreement with the copyright holder
Wrong.
so you might as well just download yourself a copy since you'll be in "violation" of said license either way.
Violation of an EULA is not even the remote equivalent of violation of copyright law.
Didn't Sins of a Solar Empire have a budget of just $1 million?
Just 1 million you say? Wow! Let's hear it for those small budget indie games!
You picked up that? But missed: You must remember that our national life boar service (RNLI) ?
Or did you think the RNLI was a pigs-in-trouble type of organisation?
Only on slashdot is the moderation system so broken that you can get modded as +1 Funny and -1 Overrated and actually lose something.
Feature, not a bug. Funny trolls are still trolls.

Try arguing with what I say, not your own caricature of my statements.
The OP argued that Apple stifles innovation because it blocks applications.
You replied that it was hard to develop mobile applications before the iPhone SDK.
See how the logic does not follow now?
My point is that the claim that Apple is stifling innovation is absurd on its face.
You seem to be arguing that because Apple is innovative in one way, they're incapable of stifling innovation in any other way.
You need some basic logic lessons sonny.

"Critical Security Hole in Linux Wi-Fi"...
*snip*
That tag is cheerfully applied to many, many stories about Windows or Apple bugs.
And linux bugs - not sure what your point is.

The government has regulated the cost of food for a long time for many reasons...
Hey dude, as someone else has pointed out in this thread, your tale of cabbage regulation is an urban myth
Do you have anything to back up anything you're saying - or are you just trolling?

I've had too many wines to be assed doing the maths.... but 16% should be perspective enough for you.

Plus, Opera hides in the systray, and stays completely idle until i need it, or it shows me a new RSS, or email.
So does it stay completely idle, or does it show you new RSS / emails as they come in?
Can't be both.
If all you have is a stud....then everything looks life a heifer?
I guess that's how adobe / ms view HTML 5 anyway.
Because we would be the nation most punished by the Kyoto. Duh!
You're also one of the nations most likely to be punished by climate change (although losing Florida is probably more reward than punishment).
OMG! I never noticed that before - BING is a recursive acronym. Meaning Bing Is Not Google.
Yet another example of MS following the GNU project ;-)

You don't actually think Canonical does any of the work which goes into Ubuntu do ya?
So why aren't all the other distros the same as Ubuntu?
Polish? Integration? Patches sent to upstream? Notification system? All these things count as 'work' in my book.
I know, I was trying to say that maybe the MS/Oracle thing was a similar case, but they just assumed they'd get enough randomness without telling people
Well, you answered your own question. Compare how MS collects random input:
To the way Putty collects it:
See where the bug is now?
