So does this mean no more ads featuring a 55 year old woman who looks 75 peeling off her face to reveal a 35 year old who looks 20 underneath? With blonde hair.
Not that it's relevant to the argument at hand, but you might like to research the practice of back-firing, in relation to creating a firebreak, particularly with bushfires.
Thanks for that. With the release of Audacity 2 I had feared that the features, usability and stability I enjoyed in Audacity 1.4 were lost and gone forever.
I mostly agree with what you say, but we are now seeing governments effectively bought by corporations who are writing laws to benefit only them. So you can right now be slapped with ludicrous fines for copyright infringement. How long until imprisonment is on the cards too? Then there's the business laws, that make small computer programming businesses so difficult as to be unfeasible.
This case of a judge beating his daughter has nothing to do with physical discipline. It's a sick bastard beating a child for pleasure. Clearly abuse and completely different from what I was talking about.
The liberal media will often try to equate physical discipline with abuse (and of course use terms such as "beating") and will report horrific child abuse cases as "raising the question" about smacking in general. I live in a country where it has for several years been illegal to smack children for any reason (though of course children are still allowed to hit whomever they please, since this "think of the children" society is hell-bent on giving children more rights than they can handle but no responsibilities).
And guess what? Since that law came into effect, actual child abuse hasn't decreased at all. Not a bit. What has happened though is a generation of disrespectful children who can get away with near murder and a culture where and any parent who pulls their two-year-old away from traffic is regarded with suspicion.
A point I neglected to make but assumed people already knew was that the gap between ubiquitous CD drives and ubiquitous DVD drives is only about three years.
These places that aren't "full of rich white people" as you so elegantly put it are only slightly less likely to have DVD drives than CD drives. To cater to such places perhaps Ubuntu should be distributed on floppies, and compiled to run on i386 processors (no i586 optimizations please) with 8MB RAM.
It's about time distro makers stopped restricting their content to what they can cram within the artificial limitations of 700MB. Pretty much every desktop and laptop computer since, what, 2004 has had a DVD reader.
I've always felt that the Ubuntu DVD ISOs were a bit of an afterthought. Hopefully this will now change.
Oh good. Perhaps these experiments will put to rest arguments that zero point energy is the Next Big Thing(tm).
Proponents of it (at least the ones I've met) won't shut up about it.

I don't need full-on syntax highlighting either, but I do want the jolly cursor keys to still work when in syntax mode. Vi, at least as packaged with Debian, doesn't allow that.

So is it now time for Kim Jong III to take the throne?

The dermatologists will be pleased.
Geeks fed up with Nokia and Microsoft.
Here's a gem:
In my country Shell petrol stations have recently re-branded as: Z
Co-incidence? I think not.
Wow, over-generalise much?
I take it they're talking about using maliciously-crafted print jobs to exploit vulnerabilities.
Because every networked office printer should have its administrative interfaces password-locked and, if possible, be behind an lprng server.
Now we need a cool name for it. How about:
Zero Point Entropy
In fact that is the school's new slogan: Nerf or nothing.

Does this mean they'll be bringing the + operator back some time soon? /wishful thinking
Law enforcement being scared or bought? Or both?
Anyway, these fuckers need to be exposed and ousted, and now. No more excuses.
I'd say all bloggers even remotely involved with this need to get anonymized now and expose everything on these cartels.
Sounds worryingly Microsoft-ish.
Not that it's a problem in this case, since this system is doomed to fail before it even begins.

It is a travesty that you were not modded up for that.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this.
And this, kids, is why energy economies based on waste oils do not scale well.
Cringely... wasn't he that talking frog or something?
Please stop being deliberately obtuse.

Fuck you, asshole
Looks like someone needed a bit more discipline when growing up.
