his persecution for being gay has a lot to due with his mathematical and scientific achievements. namely: he'd have contributed a lot more to the field if he hadn't been driven to kill himself by authorities.
i think that's something to note - and the article did note it.
specifically, i'd check monster.com - so i could get a new job. and in my exit interview, i'd state that my primary reason for leaving was because people were choosing technology based on uninformed politics instead of a decent understanding of technology.
i've wanted a laptop with electronic paper for ages now!
we're almost up to a lightweight laptop with a battery life of weeks, but no one wants to make one it seems. put together a decent low-power cpu, an electronic paper display and some type of flash and you're there. and all of that is smaller so you can devote some more room to batteries.
but no, they just focus on bigger hard drives and faster more power hungry cpu's.
they're in the replies you nitwit. i wrote a few of them. but then this is slashdot - you probably didn't even read the article, nevermind the followups.
security is usually inconvenient. but not all inconveniences are security.
considering that the usa had the WORST airline security failure - an order of magnitude worse if you go by body count; many orders if you go by a dollar count - i think there's probably still room for constructive criticism of us airline security.
as it turns out, paul is dutch, which if you knew how to read you'd know. asshole.
and as an american who has/had both legal and illegal irish immigrants in my family, i can state with some certainly that america has far more problems due to native born assholes then from illegal immigrants.
last i checked mcveigh, rush (big pharma) and dubya were all native sons.
sco has been suing people it has contracts with. in one of the first post-ibm lawsuit investor conference calls i heard a sco exec say that they would be "enforcing their contracts."
have ev1 customers ended up entering a contract with sco? has ev1's license purchase actually made their customers more likely to be sued?
if i was an ev1 customer i would get my contract details from ev1 and i'd consult my attorney. in addition i'd request *written* clarification from ev1 on my *specific* contract to describe how their license purchase affects me.
and in reality i would **also** change my hosting provider so as to reduce my legal danger.
supposedly microsoft is going to end up bankrolling sco to the tune of $100 million. thats a lot of lawsuits and it looks like sco are going after more then ibm. so i would want to be as far away from any sco contracts as possible.
localisation projects are impressive. that's hard work. particularly when dealing with charsets outside of us-ascii! and particularly when you cover 14 languages!
someone pointed out that libyahoo was done by indian programmers. with all the outsourcing, i wonder if there are some distributed whiteboard projects and the like being done.
i suppose i phrased that badly. i mainly meant that people from those countries did those things. obviously there are some gov't funded bits - the us dod funded bits of bsd, germany funded gpg, the eu is funding blender. but it was more the people from each country.
thanks for the project. i've used some yahoo clients so thanks india!:)
every country has it's own free software projects (that they are either started or maintain or fund). the usa can point to the gnu project, finland to linux, ireland to spamassassin, germany to gpg, wales to kernel hacking and gnome bug hunting and translations, etc.
i think there's a lack of visability in english-speaking countries as to the contributions from non-english speaking countries. what free software projects are "indian" that those of us in the english speaking world might not be aware of?
you let bush and the republicans get elected. they said they'd deregulate, and they have. and it's as crappy and shitty as we liberals said it would be. but hey, it is profitable, hurrah!
so pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. good going guys!
bush has raised $170 million for his primary - where he's unopposed. and then under federal election law he can raise that money again in september when he's nominated (that's why the gop convention is so late this year - plus the convention will be free coverage).
your only chance is dean but it seems like the dems are determined to eat their own. saw another dnc talking head abusing dean on fox news today.
but it's likely bush will win, and the gop will extend its control of the house and senate. i expect a fillibuster-proof majority in the senate and maybe the house. america can look forward to economic panics ala argentina, further erosion of civil rights, more religious extremists on the bench, more war, more terrorist attacks, less jobs, more gov't and a flight of foreign capital.
i'm sure i'll get marked as a troll, but if bush wins in '04, i suggest people bookmark this comment and see how prophetic it is in 2008.
so families are using a new communication tool to, um, communicate, and people are asking if this is reducing communication within families?
is im or email or irc or phone or letter or videophone or telegraph the same as talking face to face? no, they're all different. and none are best, certain circumstances lend themselves better to certain methods. some people find letters a better method of telling family members bad news. i like people to email me info like addresses, phone numbers or email addresses. irc is a nice supplement to conference calls as it lets taking minutes be distributed.
but i supposed change always sees this. "oh no, it's different, it must be BAAAAD!"
i took the t to the airport for porter sq. a number of times and always found it easy. yes you had to change trains a few times, but it was always faster and less hassle then driving.
a) ireland, as part of the uk at that time, only supplied cannon fodder to wwi.
b) ireland was neutral in wwii.
c) ireland is neutral in general.
d) disagreement with israel's policies regarding the palestinians is not anti-semitism. and ireland, like various european nations, takes responsible steps to combat racism in all forms. we're not perfect but i don't remember any police force in america asking for cultural training to properly deal with immigrants like the police did here. and i wouldn't cast stones - a white supremacist group was arrested with a large number of cyanide bombs in texas in late november. authorities fear they haven't found them all and the people they captured aren't talking. in addition listen in on the rhetoric being spouted by limbaugh (either), hannity and coulter to name a few.
oh, and sco won't sell me a license. i've rung them up and asked for one and they won't sell me one. i did request that they post me an invoice describing what i was buying, they seemed to really balk at that.

learning the theory behind things makes it easier to learn new things. that's what a cs degree gives you.
/me licks moofie's ear.
"Aithiests would have an absolute fit, when they translated the alien pledge of aliegence."
asshole.
given that choice, i'd hire someone fresh out of school.
wait, i thought bush was generating all these new jobs.

and now maybe the people with unlicensed versions of windows will pay up. and maybe they'll look at alternatives.

whatever.
this is a good thing for linux and bsd. it would be nice to see a dedemonizer to go with it. this shows to people what "open systems" REALLY can be.

thanks for playing however.
is it just me or are a lot of people misspelling "idiot" as "libertarian" these days?
"buy gold." what are you, william jennings bryan?
muppet.
oh, and sco won't sell me a license. i've rung them up and asked for one and they won't sell me one. i did request that they post me an invoice describing what i was buying, they seemed to really balk at that.
even sco fears mail fraud i guess.
