D'oh. I googled 'belgrado gay pride' and didn't even check the date of the story. This year's was indeed cancelled, tho: http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/nationalist-glee-as-belgrade-gay-pride-cancelled-20090919-fw5i.html

He never said he's had any luck, just that he's always been attracted:-)
Shameful ? No. But it could be dangerous. You seem to be misinformed about the general enlightenedness and well-willingness of most of this planet. Yesterday, the gay pride parade in Belgrado, Serbia was cancelled because the police did not think they would have been able to protect the participants.
I just googled for some more info, and it seems that the actual march did go through (kudos to them for not giving in), and the results were as expected, unfortunately: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1415789.stm .
In my experience, non-IT people tend to like the relative simplicity of a Gnome desktop, once they get used to it. Shiny things tend to get in the way very quickly once you try to do actual work.
An extension to existing Fair Use rules ? Don't you know that Fair Use is Evil and must be abolished ? Have you learned nothing from the RIAA's valiant struggle against the evil pirates ?
"certified to fix" is certainly the key indicator here, as the only ones who can reasonably certify someone to fix a given brand is the brand itself. They'll just raise the prices for the trainings, and provide "club discounts" to brand dealerships.
... but a warning for an issue I've encountered in the past.
USB sticks, as far as Linux is concerned, are just another block device. As such, you can partition them. I did this in the past, making both a FAT partition for my Windows stuff, and an ext3 partition for my Linux stuff - SSH is picky about keyfile permissions.
I happened to put the ext3 partition first, and the FAT one second. Worked a charm, until I booted windows. Windows correctly identified the secondary partition as being FAT and stuck a drive letter on it, but the files I had dumped on there in Linux weren't visible. I assumed I made a mistake somewhere, dumped some more files on it, and rebooted back into Linux.
I found the original files on the FAT partition, so I hadn't made a mistake, but the new files weren't there. When I tried to access the ext3 partition, however, I found out where the new files went: apparently Windows identified a FAT partition on the key, but apparently then assumes it is in partition 1. After all, who would partition portable storage, right ? My ext3 partition was suitably fucked, of course.
I tried this several times over, and behaviour was consistent. I also tried it the other way round, FAT as primary and ext3 as secondary, and that worked fine.
This was back on Windows 2000, I've never tried it on later versions as I now just use the ext2 IFS driver, but you've been warned:-)
OpenOffice reads and writes MS Office files reasonably well, and saves in a freely available and well-documented format. MS Office can sometimes not even import it's own proprietary formats correctly, let alone read or write OpenOffice files. Who's under the delusion that they're the only app being used ?
You're just comparing with your own language, which tends to build entire wall-like structures of sentences out of totally arbitrary combinations of nouns and subjects, with the single verb that you need to make any sense of it all firmly lodged at the end of said endless storm of letters, just to ensure that any non-native will already have forgotten what it was the verb was referring to by the time he gets to it.
Yes, I'm joking, mostly. I'm a neighbour, both geographically and linguistically, so I'm allowed:-) You lot do tend to have some rather 'interesting' constructs, tho:-p
Given how well water conducts sound (and pressure waves in general), "within audible range" is still pretty fuzzy.
No, my concern goes more towards the natives. There's already been studies pointing towards our nice underwater technology confusing the hell out of any marine lifeform that uses sonar, so now we're gonna add 220dB blasts to it ?

Funny ? If I had mod-points, you'd get a +1 Insightful off me.

I don't trust script recognition for systems administration commands, sorry :-)

Enjoy your fluffy cocoon.
Apologies, I should have specified that I was talking about individual users, not corporate users. For the latter group, you're absolutely correct.
Under what circumstances would anyone consider spyware a prank ?
Funny, as I remember it, *I* would be the one to scream whenever 95 was involved.

Strange. One would assume that [g]irls is a Gnome application.

Well, to be fair, the dolphins aren't the ones destroying their own habitat.

I don't know shit about this sh1+ you mention.

Of course they'll allow ReactOS to set up their HQ, there, why not ?
After all, 'accidents' can happen to any repository, right ?

Not really new, is this ? I remember JWZ blogging about this years ago. See http://www.jwz.org/gruntle/burningman.html
So is the one about the marathon.
I had the same thought, but then I assumed he meant something along the lines of "how long until the universe evolves a better idiot".
