The real problem is that Linux distributions, taken together or individually, presents developers with too many completely unnecessary choices as to where essential library files can be put, and also, there is no standard version naming and locating convention.
You say this like it's really a problem.
Linux distributions differ for good reason; some distros (often the embedded ones) may have no/etc or/usr/share or other paths because they don't need them and are lighter or faster because of it.
It's not a defect, it IS a feature.
Linux is not Windows, it is meant to embrace ALL environments.
Is it so hard to adapt a *nix program from one *nix to another? No, it's only a matter of knowing the target distro properly.
[...]each channel can only mux so many signals before you start to see degradation. Can anyone with more wireless expertise than I have confirm or deny this?
After 6 years of having switched to Linux, all these discussions have a slightly unreal feel to me. I wonder why people would put up with it, being on a corporation's time-table for software upgrades...
It seems REALLY alien to me because I am running the latest version of Linux with enough eye-candy to make Vista blush and it's all so run-of-the-mill...
I don't need to jump for the arbitrary "CHANGE PLACES" call inevitably issued by MS or Apple...
To be fair, entertainment is a need. People who aren't getting any will start doing unbelievable stupid things just for fun, quite likely getting themselves and bystanders hurt.
Many *many* scientific advances have been made by deeply religious men and funded by a church. This is true historically and into our modern era. If you want a citation, use google.
My favourite example - Johannes Kepler He was devout and originally undertook to discover a system of planetary organization that would reveal the heavenly perfection of the planet's orbits and such. He eventually discovered that there was NO perfection in the planets orbits. After struggling with his conscience, he disclosed his findings. This at a time when people could be burned for heresy. Nevertheless, he was courageous and steadfast in his pursuit of knowledge and truth. He is a model for all of us, scientists, clergy or laypersons.
Friend, I'm in almost exactly the same position as you. Keep your head up. It will work out.
As for your questions: I believe Obama is a good man but he can't just unilaterally decide to pull the troops out of there. Not because it isn't in his power, but rather because he may end up dead if he does. I know I sound like a nut, but defence contracts ARE worth hundreds of billions annually to the war-mongerers and they won't just let him switch off the tap, you can be sure.
For your working on a solar project: Realize no one else has any background in it, so you're as good as any other applicant on that merit. You can do it!
The defence budget for the current war is around 480 billion dollars per year, so it's the equivalent of two day's budget for the war to be spent on something that may eventually reduce the number of wars. Money well spent, all drunken sailors should be so wise.
I mean if the crystals are entangled and you put one of them on a spaceship and accelerate it to near c for a long enough period, when you change its state, at what moment will the other crystal change?
What is going on in that cat's head right now? Any cat psychologists on Slashdot?
Well, in that one video, he looks very uncomfortable with the attention he is getting to the point where he appears to want to go hide in a cardboard box.
Otherwise, it's most likely "steak steak steak steak" or something like that.
As the candy hearts poured into the fiery quasar, a wondrous thing happened, why not. They vaporised into a mystical love radiation that spread across the universe, destroying many, many planets, including two gangster planets and a cowboy world. But one planet was at exactly the right distance to see the romantic rays, but not be destroyed by them: Earth. So all over the world, couples stood together in joy. And me, Zoidberg! And no one could have been happier unless it would have also been Valentine's Day. What? It was? Hooray!
It's the bean-counters' fault. Revenue losses from service blocks and credits are really easy to measure. Profits from customers made happy by good customer service are really hard to measure. So, as is frequently the case when organizations become hyper-focused on metrics, decisions get made that maximize metrics but don't make good business sense.
I suppose if they performed long-term trending analysis they'd realize that after adopting a policy like the one they have just put in place, they will lose customers and wind up in a worse place than where they started from but that might take years...
Especially when they are on SyFy channel every night.
That's a good point: If you download a movie that has played on a television channel you have a subscription to then doesn't it become an instance of time-shifting, like a VCR or Tivo? It just saves you the bother of having to program your recorder.
I'LL pay your 1.5 trillion... But first, you need to wire me some transfer money so I can send you the 1.5 trillion. Wire me 2 million and it should be OK. Then I will send you your winnings, I mean money. Thanks

about Yakutsk usually being easy to protect
First!
I actually posted this a while ago, but eh, you get the idea,,,
the cure for the anxious cats was discovered long ago, it has something to do with giving them cheezebugers,,,

It means EVERYONE has at least a little bit of culture...
For the same reason that ...
1 = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 +
As they converge to infinity. they both sum up to 1.
The difference between them is infinitely small.
The decision of taking the high road by Canonical is the correct way to do business.
And anyway, courts cost time/money.
Claude Shannon nods.

Am I the one that's crazy?
Looks like the bug is part of an auditing module... If you're using per-cpu-task accounting.
Hopefully the Singularity will include an augmented sense of humour.
Darwin wins, Youtube wins, I don't see a problem.

Is it possible to change its orbit so it's constantly in the umbra of something? The earth, the moon, IIS, anything?

WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!

Agree totally!
You're right, that's even better with an even brighter future if fusion ever (and it will!) pays off.

You've highlighted the very problem:
Microsoft has simply NOT produced anything better.
No matter how much their PR department tries to distort reality to make everyone believe it, XP was Microsoft's peak.
I mean what have people got to switch to?
Linux? It may be superior but it frightens people because it appears alien.
MacOSX? Same problem.
I suspect the original person posing the question is a Microsoft shill hoping to appeal to people's fear of falling behind trends.
Disregard the man behind the curtain, folks, if XP works for you, stick with it.
