NOBODY showed up? I would think having a high Sardonix rating would be a nice piece of "hacker-street-cred", like a low/. ID number, or running Linux on a beowulf cluster of 286s.
Mmmm, no. I'll vote for whoever wins the nomination in November, but I'll support Dean until another nominee is announced. Besides, what's to laugh at? I mean, if Kerry can surge that quickly, Dean, with his huge grassroots base, can too.
Honestly, though, politics aside, replying to.sigs is kinda lame. Like talking to billboards while you drive.
I meant no disrespect to the ESA, I merely meant to say that I hope this project succeeds. Wasn't SpaceLab an ESA project? That was a raging success, IIRC.
I'm just hoping Rosetta survives the trip. I can just picture it getting Beagle-2'd by an asteroid on one of it's 2 trips through the asteroid belt.
I mean, I know it's a longshot, but you never know. I hope ESA's luck improves with this one. Thie could be realy cool.
True enough. And if we're taking country of origin into consideration, why did we not attack Saudi Arabia after 9/11? The majority of the hijackers were Saudi. Odd.
And I DO hope you're not advocating the profiling of foreigners simply because they're foriegn or their parents or grandparents were. That's a really wide net in the country, and I don't think Ireland, China, Mexico, Canada, England or Poland had anything to do with 9/11. But I digress. . .
The Patriot act invades the privacy and tramples the civil rights of America's citizenry by allowing the DOJ and the CIA to bypass the Bill of Rights whenever they feel like it by declaring someone a suspected terrorist, or, even better, and enemy combatant. The only thing preventing the Executive branch from using this to silence political dissidents is the enormous political fallout should they attempt it. It is, in addition, transparently racist in its implementation because it is being used to focus the eyes of law enforcement on dark-skinned foreigners, while largely ignoring homegrown terrorist groups such as the Ku Klux klan, National Alliance, Posse Comitatus, and the World Church of the Creator.
But, if none of these issues bother you, ignore me. You probably will anyway.
Don't look at me, I worked security. I would have whacked them with my clue stick, but the salesman wouldn't let me near them. Had to get his commission and all.;) At least I never knowingly sold anyone AOHell. Got a lot of shit from management for it, too. Sorry, I won't sell feces.
I've seen this, in fact I used to work at a CompUSA in IL. This lady bought a CDR labeling kit, and a bunch of labels, like 35 bucks. ..so she could write on the labels with a Sharpie and press them on, rather than, oh, I dunno, writing on the CDR itself with said sharpie.
Dumbass. Then again, her husband bought the Jaguar upgrade. . . for his WinXP laptop. . .
I agree that WWII is still packed with emotion for most Westerners, and have managed to keep myself from biting at Trolls. I personally find the whole thing both extremely somber (Dresden, Holocaust, Nukes) and a source for excellent humour (Maginot line, Hitler invading Russia in winter).
As for quoting, you're ahead of the pack if you even CARE about quotation format. Most of us cant evn tpee.

Reminds me of US pharmaceutical companies charging some countries more than others for some drugs. Like HIV drugs, for example.
relative crappiness of Windows XP?
I'm currently using my friend's old Handspring Visor. Runs quite a few great OSS programs, such as PCash and Vexed, and it does everything I need.
Nope. Me too. Except I though it was compliant.

Unless then meant that Macs are the UnPentium. In which case the above still holds. :)

You have no chance make your time!
How exactly does one agree a settlement? Isn't that a bit like setting up someone the bomb?
So, um, how did you post this, exactly?
So, what's your IP address and root password? :)
No. Sadly, no.
I'll wait for the post-post-post-industrial corporate complex.

That's nice. And appropriate, since KDE is Tougher Than Leather. :)

to all the servers who were slashdotted in service to the UK. Like this one.
Let's all go buy a bunch of CD's, and share the files vi P2P. That'll REALLY screw with the statistics. . .;)
