Ok, I obviously haven't read the much of the Aristotle "canon", but I did read (or at least tried to read) Nicomachean Ethics, and boy, what a useless boring worthless piece of crap that was. Remember it is good to be virtuous because virtuous means being right in the middle not that extreme or this extreme, not too much to the left of the middle and not to much to the right of the middle although we know that sometimes people want to act other than virtuous which is to say some extreme which is to say farther to the left or right of absolute middle than will be commonly accepted in this work, and by straying from the middle, that is to say virtue, they are being less than virtous. Now class, let us empirically quantify and categorize every single fucking category of "virtue" and all degrees of virtue, remembering not to be too zealous in such pursuit, nor too apathetic. *GNAW MY LEG OFF TO ESCAPE* I have had a grudge against Aristotle since then.
Excellent, now the mail server just has to authenticate your Plan 9 server! Ooh ooh, what if the Plan 9 server has it's own signon server? I bet that would solve it.
Actually it does...there are several laws, not sure if they are local or regional or national or what, but my wild speculation is that in most cases you will not be charged with trespassing *simply* by walking through an open door. That does not equate to a *right* to enter, but neither does it equate to a *crime*.
Also, anybody found in possession of chalking paraphernalia will be arrested. Chalking may also lead to eventually writing with actual writing instruments, and in extreme cases to the authorship of manifestos on intellectual property and the destruction of the commons. And remember, when you chalk you support terrorism.
Really, what good is a warranty? When your data is gone, it is gone...no warranty will bring it back (ok ok, expensive data recovery techniques can be used, but it's not like the warrenty automatically raises the quality of the product).
First, if you call the client and threaten to report the non-payment to the financial backers unless you get paid, you are most likely engaging in extortion, a crime.
Uh, doesn't extortion imply extracting money which you are not entitled to. If he is contractually (legally, whatever) entitled to this money, how is it a crime? If a neighbor steals money from me and I tell him that if he doesn't give it back I'll tell others (or the polic), is this really extortion? (in the poster's case, it is his labor that has been "stolen")
As a maintainer I would much prefere to see the previous example, with all it's redundancy than to take a second to understand wtf you were trying to do with x& (yes it is "obvious" in this case, but pile on a bunch of these and the "obviousness" decreases).
The goal of a programming language is not to decrease typing!
When deep space exploration ramps up, it will be corporations that name everything. The IBM Stellar Sphere. The Philip Morris Galaxy. Planet Starbucks.
Amen. Or even more to the point, *cracking* or performing *reverse engineering* (these two are functionally equivalent) without distribution has also come under fire of the DMCA. You can now no longer even open up something you bought to take a peek at it or tell others what is inside, without fear of being prosecuted. Questions about the morality of duplicating non-physical goods in the first place aside for now, if you duplicate and distribute warez that's your own damn fault. If you crack/RE and tell others how to crack/RE a "protected" piece of software, there is no copyright or duplication involved. This natural right needs to be preserved.
I agree with the sentiment, but even bad old evil coal/ plant can be made to be rather efficient and less-polluting (centralized scrubbers vs. tons of little engines on every lawn...?). The question then is, does the loss of power through power lines and the cost of maintainence outweigh these efficiency gains. Even wind power has *some* effect on the environment (you can't get something for nothing), although it is miniscule compared to other sources of energy.
"While I'd rather not have it be that way, NV's drivers are maintained from the *same* source base that ATi's are"
Huh?? Perhaps you mean to say NV's Linux drivers are from the same source base as their Windows drivers. Yes their unified driver model is a very Good Thing.

"IMHO if you need SSL on a webserver, you should be forced to go through the download + build + cert process yourself."
At some point you have to unless you want to run with a phony snakeoil cert.

Well, the MPAA and RIAA better get their drones up to Congress to ban pi.
Solution to war? More war!
Oh yeah, because you know, English is such a static thing. Why don't you go and read Canterbury Tales and shut up.

For all we know the earth MAY be the center of the universe and the Sun DOES rotate around us. Frame of reference and all
