GP does have a point. On the rare occasions I'm forced to work with Windows boxes, I can rdesktop to them from my Linux box at home and get a virtual desktop with *much* better responsiveness than any remote X client I've seen. I can also close the session and log in from another computer and get the same desktop back, with all my applications still running. I haven't seen anything in Linux that comes close to that. Screen is about the closest I can think of, and it comes in a very poor second.
I think that circular reasoning is a misrepresentation. Most Christians I know believe the Bible is the word of God not because it says it is, but because it has been revealed to them in the Spirit.
Of course if you don't understand the notion of spirit, soul, etc then this must appear as another logical fallacy.
But if you do:
God reveals to person through the Spirit that He exists. Person, desperate for more knowledge of what he's just experienced, seeks more information. Same Spirit points to and endorses the Bible. Said person then hooks up with a church or other Christian group.
Konqueror and the Konsole has this. Right-click on a Tab, click 'Detach' and voila.
I wish, oh I wish, firefox had this feature. I tend to like having one window per 'topic' I'm working on, so if a link leads to a new area of research, I'll naturally want to detach it to a new window.
Perhaps, but no one's forcing you to fly anywhere. You're only searched if you/choose/ to use civilian aircraft. Don't want to be searched? Drive or do a videoconference instead.
(I'm not justifying this, just pointing out a potential legal loophole)
I don't believe this. I'm guessing you haven't been about many big companies, but a lot of them are divided into subdivisions.
Subdivisions with IT departments who have no control over the corporate DNS or DHCP servers but still need to administer local proxy servers and browsers. Perhaps the *upstream* IT department is retarded for implementing such policies, but that's reality I'm afraid. And that, sir, is why we need.PAC files.
You got a better way of handling these situations? Please, I'm all ears.
The challenge is to compare the *ink* colours (lightness, hue, whatever) in two sections of that picture. The other prompts in the picture are there solely to inhibit the capability to accurately make a comparison by producing an illusion of a shadow cast by a cylinder.
The fact that one cannot easily do this as with a flat checkerboard for example, is what makes it an illusion.
I can discern Pulse-Width Modulated LEDs without eating:) By rapidly oscillating my eyes I can tell you in a second which light sources in a room are PWM. Car brake lights, dashboard lights, billboard signs, power LEDs - it's surprising how much equipment is now PWMd. That unfortunately includes other POV-based technologies like DLP. I see the rainbow effect in every single-chip implementation that I've ever come across.
Though it's usually the other way around, with salt water having a higher SG than pure water. This is demonstrated on earth by some locations being freshwater at the surface with salt water a hundred meters down.
I'm not going to claim that filesharing is a fundamental sin, but by creating a zero-value market for digital media, it is effectively removing the incentive to create it in the first place. Evidently a great proportion of the population hasn't yet even heard of filesharing but that is slowly changing as tech-savvy people come of age and start having disposable incomes. If things carry on as they are, then it's only a matter of time before media sales really do fall due to file sharing. Then it is reasonable to expect a drop in production as money becomes less of a motivator for producing an album/movie/series/whatever (Some might call this a good thing:)
These companies that are slamming lawsuits left right and centre, evil as they may be, are effecting self defense. They see their lifeblood, revenue from media sales, as being threatened and will do anything, ANYTHING, to protect it. Survival was and is still the name of the game.
I think they have way too much power so can fight much harder to survive than many others, and get away with dirtier tactics. I don't give them money any more, but I also don't endorse their wares by giving them mindshare (listening to/watching them).
I often wonder why other evil organisations such as the freemasons aren't ragged on as much. Perhaps it's because they have ~700 years of history they are somewhat accepted as part of society, thus failing your rule #1?
From what goings on I've seen though, these guys deserve every bit as much exposure as Scientology is getting.
Ooh I've got one. How about the nVidia Network Access Manager, which merrily installs itself with your nForce chipset.
It doesn't tell you it's a firewall. It doesn't let you configure it. It doesn't tell you it's blocking a lot of ports used for videoconferencing. If you figure out how to un-install it, it deactivates the first ethernet port, forcing you to use the second one.

You shouldn't take his, my, or anyone's word for it. That you don't believe it has no bearing whatsoever on whether or not it is actually true.
It's not all about you. Or me.
Sounds more like a cod ham arms race.
About half of them.
... increase gas prices to the point where lighter cars are the only option, ... i.e. not gonna happen in the near future
I find your ideas intriguing. What part of the world do you live in?
Currently we're using ~1 tonne of steel to shift N x ~70kg of person from point A to B.
I've always thought there was something wrong with that equation.

Waldo? Is that a bit like Where's Wally?
Any course of action that increases Microsofts monopoly in any market is, by definition, a bad thing.
Kudos to Mr Yahoo for stopping this. Now I wonder if Facebook, Myspace and Amazon would do the same.
Uhm. Yes it is an illusion.

Two billion years from now it may be difficult to imagine life evolving on the Earth.
Well in 2008 I'm still having a hard time imagining it.
Agreed. I think that shot at the start of ANH is one of the best reveals in cinematic history.
However I also think that the opening shot of ROTS was well on par with it.

But at the end of the day, has it influenced foreign policy?
Well, we *do* tend to eye taxation of trade routes a bit more suspiciously than we might have otherwise.
Oh and Bush? Totally like Palpatine.
No. Not even a little bit.

A sad state of affairs, and most likely a genius. I wonder what Peter is doing now...
