You fucking republicans, how is the grandparent a troll and the parent interesting? it's both political bullshit. And the military wasn't shrunk so bad you couldn't get in. Clinton just cut lockheed-martin away from the government's teet, and to fix the deficit caused by Regan's Star Wars program and Bush Sr.'s Kill the brown people policy.
But yeah, Clinton did bomb Iraq because he got a bad blowjob. I'm still out on which president's the bigger criminal. We'll have to let the Europaen history books decide that one.
Has the average intelligence dropped that fucking much?? Yes, but mainly lawyers and people too dumb to get out of Jury Duty
When the fuck did I get sucked into the Twilight Zone? It happened in 1968. The hippies started it, with all that love crap. Well, probably not, but the hippies aren't here to defend themselves.
Okay it's a crime sim. And DOOM was clearly a sim built for training Space Marines. Asteroids was clearly a training sim for astronauts.
If you do something stupid and can hit the reset buttom, it's a game. Even if it's a simulator, it's still a game. If you do something stupid and can't find a reset button, it is more than likely real life. People don't die in games, pixels do.
If people can't tell the difference between a game and real life, then they need their credits taken away for both!
Covering your roof with solar cells is not a practical solution at this point. Covering your NEW house is. Retro-fitting tiles onto your house is generally not the easiest, cheapest, or safest way to generate power. The amount of tiles needed alone to power your house would be staggering, let alone the storage batteries, the need for the proper exposure (I believe that they reccomend a large southern exposure for most of the U.S. and Canada, for best results), or the power inverter which needs to be retro-fit into existing wiring.
New construction and large office buildings are where solar should be targeted. Also, these buildings should be routinely inspected to make certain that they are not feeding power back into the grid in blackout conditions. Hydro workers have a hard enough time during a blackout without worrying whether some good samaratin numbnuts has just energized the segment he's working on or not.
To feed the grid via private enterprise without safety precautions, well thought out implementation plans and regulation would be at best ill conceived, and at worst, homicidal.
If you want power during the next blackout, buy a generator, and for the love of god, shut off the main!
Microsoft dropped the ball on that one. Their BSA tool was a joke, the patch was spotty at best. They did their best to mitigate the damages by mirroring Windows update servers, but it was too little, too late.
For all the other outbreaks, I blamed admins. This one however, I blame Bill. I just hope that they learned from this one, and do better in the long run.
No, Newcastle Brown. Real easy to drink, gives you a good time, and leaves you with a pounding headache and a lot of regret the next day.

Sometimes it's better to throw the baby out with the bathwater. KDE has always had backwards compatibility problems, this will be no different, just a bit bigger.
I actually took the time to fill this out with proper information. Here is a copy of my question. Hopefully they do respond, but I'm not holding my breath.
To whom it may concern, I am currently running a non-commercial webserver using linux. It is currently running a vanilla 2.4 kernel with no NUMA, SMP, and/or RCU options compiled. The physical server is located outside of the U.S.
Do I need to purchase a licence for my machine, as I do not have support for the big sticking points as outlined by Mr. Darl McBride? If so, could you please inform me of which portions of the kernel I may not compile, as to avoid infringing upon your intellectual property. I do not need specific source code segments, merely listing which kernel modules infringe upon your property will suffice.
Unfortunately, that is becoming more and more the case.
It's time to stop implementing these schemes! Block Microsoft netblocks at the border routers, Same goes for Intuit, RealPlayer, and anyone else that compromises users rights for profit.

Yeah, all these jokes are becoming a little revolting. I, for one, am shocked.
The average annual salary in our high-tech company (about 75% engineers.. offices in Beijing & Shenzhen) is less than RMB100k (about US$12k)
But what does that equate to with the standard of living? Are apartments 1/10th the price of say, New York? How much is a loaf of bread?
Monetary value on an international scale and the cost of living in a city or country are pretty much separated from each other.

you miscreant malcontent. I'd take offense to that comment if it weren't true, and the nicest thing that people have called me all week.
Because you know that they're going to be chomping at the bit to shut this type of reckless, terroristic behaviour down.
Government spending is just another way to dump money into the local economy, while rewarding campaign contributions.

We make up for that with the pot laws. You don't want stoned people with firearms.

If Nterprise uses an alternate file ownership scheme with network ACL's, I'm all for it!
I thought that they named it Novell NTerprise, and were setting themselves up for litigation.
