By the time Ratzinger was in the Nazi Youth, it was mandatory. He even had to man an anti aircraft gun, but couldn't because of an infected finger. Ratzinger has been a priest, devoted to serving God, for over a half century. If this doesn't prove his non-Nazi creds, nothing will.
Please stop babbling and finish the last Alvin book. Seriousl,y this series has been going on decades and is one book away from completion. I know you are having cashgasms with your Ender's stuff, but really, shut up and start writing.
Murderers are never allowed near a computer in prison, especially one connected to the outside world. This is because a murderer might be able to track down witnesses, etc. Hans Reisers' days as a coder are over. His primary concern now will be who will make him their bitch.
I agree 100%. I'll read the comments on/. to get a general sense of good/bad something is. One or two comments wont tell you much, but read 20 of the highest moderated ones and you a get sense of what's what.
I used to love KDE in the 1.x days. My first experience with Linux. But these days there is just too much clutter; so many K-apps just piled on. If KDE was more modular; i.e;, I can pick and choose what I want to install I'd be happy but I can't, so I go with Gnome which is modular and I can start with a minimal Gnome and work my way up.
I played D&D for the first time when I was thirteen and the game has had a profound effect on my life. To say it helped shape me as a person is an under statement and I am deeply saddened by his death.
I met Gary Gygax once at Gen Con and he gave me a bag of Famous Amos cookies, telling me I must try them and I did. Nice, nice guy.
Spy agencies have claimed that the expiration of the old legislation has caused them to miss important information.
Riiiiiiiiight. If you can't illegally wiretap, how could you possibly know what you missed? Besides, there is a perfectly good FISA court still around; you can even wiretap and get a warrant 72 hours later.
Fear mongering sucks. We're a better nation than this.
Divorced geek, uses Debian (and installed it with the original installer, natch), can code some perl, works as an IT geek for a small non-profit. Likes installing alternate OSes for fun and experimenting with various window managers. Cross platform and virus free.
Want to know why Google is beating MS, I mean besides the fact their search engine rocks?
Google gives you all this cool stuff for free, with minimal ads, or none at all. Gmail, Google Chat, Google Earth, etc, and all its all class platform. They don't try to lock you into IE and Windows Media. It isn't perfect but its far better than MS which makes no effort.
On top of this is the perception that Google is a cool company that really looks out for its users. People see MS and wonder what pile of horse puckies will be next.

You laptop needs to be looked it. That is not normal behavior.
This is why I love the choice of UIs. When I use Linux I don't want it to look like OS X or Windows. Been there, done that.

We tried this. It would be a joint Iran/Russia plant. Iran rejected it because it wanted total control.

They're Seagates, last I checked. I don't think Apple has anything branded on the inside.
The new Doctor Who is running on Sci-fi Friday at 9pm Eastern. Just started the new season.
X-Windows Linux
Small quibble: It is the X Window System. No s. It runs on top of Linux, not part of it.

They fixed the EULA for Safari. I believe it was a couple of weeks ago.
You can probably tell I can't program, but what is "K&R level of experience" ?
I am die hard Mac fan and the two are even close to the same. Actually, NYC's looks like a heart to me.
Most POD and self publishers use LSI, a competitor to Booksurge. That's the issue.

Can you make it speak swear words? That'd rock.
So how long have you been on the Board of Wikipedia?
The answer is one I see here on Slashdot all the time: "I only boot into Windows to play games"
As long as this is true game companies have zero incentive to make Linux native games.

There is zero evidence of Dark Matter. Circumstantial but it's just like string theory: a lot of take, no proof.
Okay, here's mine:
