Nike operates a factory (sweatshop) in vietnam, and even the socialist government there praises it as an ideal working place, with good pay and working conditions.
If this praise is truthful, then this factory is not a sweatshop!
Fair Trade critics never seem to understand the correct application of the term "sweatshop." Aside from being underpaid (e.g., they do not get enough to live on, unlike your subsistence farmer) or overworked (equivalent to your farmer), sweatshop workers are beaten, harassed, and threatened, and if they try to organize so that they can get enough to live on, they will be killed by thugs. All civilized nations recognize beatings, harassment, threats, and murder as crimes; indeed, as human rights violations. Observing that things could be worse does not excuse these crimes.
Yes, it is better for a person to have a shit job than no income, but sweatshop employers are, by definition, mistreating their employees. The goal of fair traders is not to shut down the (say) factory which has sweatshop conditions, but to pressure the employer to raise the factory's working conditions above sweatshop status.
"Sweatshop factory or no factory" is a false dichotomy.
Firefox is past the point of catch-up in many ways, but hopefully it will continue to show new features/improvements so that it can continue to become even greater
MSIE is way behind the leaders, but there are still browsers which FF/Gecko can catch up to in certain ways, especially Opera and also perhaps Konqueror/KHTML. A friend of mine gave a feature of Opera which is listed among "parity-opera" bugs on bugzilla given as the reason why he won't use FF. There are about 30 of these right now.

To be as clear as possible to anyone who has been confused when trying to type suprnova.org into a url bar:
1. suprnova.org - that's DOT OH ARR GEE. Not ".com", not ".net". It is ".org". DOT ORG. Like they say,.com and.net are scammers, and yes, they use dirty tricks like parent mentions.
2. suPRnova. There is no "e". Yes, we all realize that "supernova" is correctly spelled with an "e". The free bittorrent site is NOT spelled that way. It is spelled SUPRNOVA, with NO "E".
To the parent: an ad-scanning search engine would indeed be useful, but IMHO it would be simpler to use a browser that doesn't support the irritation technologies that the malware depends on.
The controller is a mat or pad that lies on the floor and is activated when someone steps on it. The game plays cheesy dance music and specifies where and when the player has to step, mostly in time to the music.
The sum of all this is several minutes of idiotic jumping around, but it's a lot of fun and a clever way to get geeks some aerobic exercise.
I try to engage you in debate, ask you questions, and you just ignore them and, instead, resort to childish name calling.
Oh, sorry. I figured that was your par for the course after you presented your selective reading of my references and accused me of being a troll.
If Windows Command Prompt is a terminal emulator, what terminal does it emulate?
It emulates a Command Prompt terminal. As far as I know, this terminal hasn't been implemented in hardware. An analogous example is the "Linux" terminal type, which also exists only as software.
Windows Command Prompt is a command shell, not a terminal emulator.
It's both. Microsoft, as usual, has ignored the subtle distinction between two traditionally separate functions, and written them into a single program.
mutt uses a full-screen terminal display mode, which is beyond the scope of a pure command shell. Command Prompt provides all of the necessary capabilities to run mutt in this mode, so it is a terminal emulator.
You keep swearing that there is some "terminal emulator" software which, under Windows, will let me use the standard GUI-based cut and paste with Mutt.
Don't put words in my mouth. I haven't sworn anything in this thread, let alone had the delusion that there is a good terminal emulator for running windows software.
This will be my last post unless you can provide an interesting argument against my position. I also won't reply again to the resume ego game, the manliness ego game, any other ego game, shouting, straw man arguments, or any other logical fallacy.
I think you should read those links again, all the way through, this time. They all support my position. Some of them support your position as well, but of the five of us, you are the only one who seems to think that the two are mutually exclusive.
Now, I defy you to download Mutt for Windows and run it via Hyperterminal. Go ahead. You're the one who swears that Mutt runs in a terminal emulator, so prove it.
The first full sentence of the xterm man page reads, "The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System." I can run mutt just fine in xterm. Hyperterminal is an irrelevant distraction to this conversation, since it is neither the only terminal emulator in the world nor an advisable way to run mutt.
If I don't know what I'm talking about, then apparently FOLDOC, everything2, and wikipedia are all equally misled. I'm not picky, though. Call it what you like. Too bad changing the name won't make it better software.
No no no, you have a Windows PC which is also a Linux Workstation! "PC" sounds like a toy - it even rhymes - while "Workstation" sounds like a piece of heavy machinery.
> I have had 2.4.20 completely freeze on me, couldn't even ssh in to it.
There are interrupt sharing issues with certain hardware in 2.4.20. I was able to get around it by swapping pci cards around. 2.4.21 was recently released and may even have a real fix. I haven't read the changelogs, let alone returned my hardware to its original configuration to check.
Contrast this to XP, which, with ACPI enabled, puts ALL devices on the same interrupt.
Even the monster of the week Anime like "Dragonball Z", "Yu Yu Hakisho", and "Yu Gi Oh" have better character development then these.
I've always wondered why it is so common for anime to use all of the episodes to tell a complete story - in *every genre*, not just the soap operas and weird "thinking man's" series. The first time I was really exposed to epic-rather-than-episodic animation was the X-Men series from the 90s, so my best guess is that it's because so much anime is based on manga, which usually takes advantage of continuity because of the nature of the print medium...
If I had mod points, I'd give you one just for knowing Bakshi.
> "... How could you be into that?!? This new is so much cooler than that. I wouldn't be caught dead being into that."...
>... it's become so palatable and mainstream that it isn't recognizable as the thing you used to love.
A fan whose fandom freezes as soon as whispers of mainstream acceptance start to spread is pretty pathetic. It is idiotic to discount the classics simply for being old, but equally idiotic to discount recent material simply for being new.
Bad dubs and network-tv censorship is a lame excuse for failing to see how the new things are brilliant in their own ways. Japan hasn't stopped producing good anime, even if some O.G. american otaku have stopped watching it.
By the way, I've also noticed that wanna-be NGE fans are just arrogant, glib, and narrow-minded enough to make me wish it had never been translated. Which is a true shame, because I still can't name a series that tops it.

International suppliers in these countries invariably offer dramatically better conditions then domestic industry.
On the contrary, even the wealthiest nations still have sweatshops.

Or you could go the other extreme and call it "adorable kittens". Then all the MPAA execs would have to take a tough stand against "adorable kittens".
"We will not stand for any more adorable kittens!"

Konqueror running on KDE is by far the fastest browser on Linux
lynx

How about ... log?

There is one - exercise. The PS2 is the best system for playing the Dance Dance Revolution series.

It's not their fault that you don't have an adequate terminal emulator.
And you put up with this?
the text-based nature of MUTT means that I would lose the ability to use GUI features like mouse-based operation, cut & paste, and so forth.
What modern terminal emulator doesn't support cut and paste?
No no no, you have a Windows PC which is also a Linux Workstation! "PC" sounds like a toy - it even rhymes - while "Workstation" sounds like a piece of heavy machinery.
