Hey, actually, "Do you believe I'm crazy?" is colloquially fine instead of "...that I'm crazy," and I used it in that way, given the 120 char limit on sigs.;)
There was a recent story about how scientific studies have begun using it as a basic assumption for their research. I'm not talking about Joe and Jane (or Hans and Greta...).
Well, people should not just "accept it as fact," because they should be interested in the causes and solutions. This means they need to look at available evidence and make some decisions...
Being on the right side doesn't alleviate the need for logic.
Recent data from our honeynet sensor grid reveals that the average life expectancy to compromise for an unpatched Linux system has increased from 72 hours to 3 months. This means that a unpatched Linux system with commonly used configurations (such as server builds of RedHat 9.0 or Suse 6.2) have an online mean life expectancy of 3 months before being successfully compromised.
Compared to unpatched Windows boxes with life expectancies of minutes.
Here's an opportunity for dialogue, and you just piss all over it. Let me guess...American?
Wow. I don't even agree with the American gov't or live there, and I still think you need to grow up.
From the article, you'll see that "interoperability" here means with itself. Meaning: Windows works best with windows and other OSs don't work as well with it. This is somewhat true, but OSS's strength is operating with every OS and every arch under the sun...
This all goes hand-in-hand with Samba's impending complaint over MS's licensing agreement in the EU dispute.
Carnegie, Rockefeller, Mellon, and now Gates... The robber baron syndrome. It helps them psychologically deal with the things they've done to become super-wealthy.
This is a major difference between American English and British English. American English tends to suggest usage always inside quotes, but Brits will put the quote inside if it's related, and outside if it's not. The subject is always hotly debated, though.
I never look to "The Programmers' English Corpus" for style points...

Well, I'm going to guess that the Sorcerer page was defaced, though I can't be sure. Looks as though The Hype page (which only contains screenshots) was edited to contain this message:
Feel free to peruse our humble eye candy. The backgrounds, themes, icon sets, so on are freely available to you so that you may use them in your GUI of choice. Of course, they only really feel right if you're using them with
non-free software like Sorcerer.
I've left the project and taken the artwork that I (and dogalope, as he requested it of me) hacked up with me. Later kids.
The link leads to a blog by a former developer about how the project screwed itself, and the history of Sourcemage.
The license. I don't care if this is the way that anybody else remembers things... I know what I perceived as happening when the fit hit the shan. A while after Sorcerer experienced a rather substantial slashdotting, people started to become annoyed for much the same reasons that I am. Things were changing radically overnight, shit was breaking, fire and brimstone, cats sleeping with dogs, et cetera. Since everything was licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License at that point, some of those that were hollaring the loudest about the problems basically told the sole coder to fuck off... they were going to fork the codebase and take off running with thier own distro. It was originally called Lunar Penguin, but it's been shortened to just Lunar nowadays. So what happened?
Aforementioned sole coder seemingly went batshit. Nuked any trace of SGL and put up a nasty note in its place that explained that anybody that ever forks a codebase should roughly fuck off and die. Where did this leave the folks that did not run off with the coder's code?

Note common use, CID, #1, below, it's general use synonym, and, more specifically, Wordnet #2. Learn to separate your dislike of people who may be ignorant and your reaction to law. Although the fundamentalists' motivation for this act was certainly something else, the sticker was not factually incorrect in the way that you propose.
Additionally, that evolution works and that evolution happened are two different suppositions, and, anyway, I'd advise not taking the watered-down science of Discover too far as proof of anything.
For the record, I am NOT a creationist. I just feel that, if you are going to argue a point, you should do it with your head and not your heart, or you end up in the same indefensible position that your opponents are in.

1. A doctrine, or scheme of things, which terminates in
speculation or contemplation, without a view to practice;
hypothesis; speculation.
1913 Webster
Note: "This word is employed by English writers in a very
loose and improper sense. It is with them usually
convertible into hypothesis, and hypothesis is commonly
used as another term for conjecture. The terms theory
and theoretical are properly used in opposition to the
terms practice and practical. In this sense, they were
exclusively employed by the ancients; and in this
sense, they are almost exclusively employed by the
Continental philosophers." --Sir W. Hamilton.
1913 Webster
2. An exposition of the general or abstract principles of any
science; as, the theory of music.
1913 Webster
3. The science, as distinguished from the art; as, the theory
and practice of medicine.
1913 Webster
4. The philosophical explanation of phenomena, either
physical or moral; as, Lavoisier's theory of combustion;
Adam Smith's theory of moral sentiments.
1913 Webster
Atomic theory, Binary theory, etc. See under Atomic,
Binary, etc.
1913 Webster
Syn: Hypothesis, speculation.
Usage: Theory, Hypothesis. A theory is a scheme of the
relations subsisting between the parts of a systematic
whole; an hypothesis is a tentative conjecture
respecting a cause of phenomena.
1913 Webster Theosoph
"WordNet (r) 2.0 (August 2003)" theory
n 1: a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the
natural world; an organized system of accepted knowledge
that applies in a variety of circumstances to explain a
specific set of phenomena; "theories can incorporate
facts and laws and tested hypotheses"; "true in fact and
theory"
2: a tentative theory about the natural world; a concept that
is not yet verified but that if true would explain certain
facts or phenomena; "a scientific hypothesis that survives
experimental testing becomes a scientific theory"; "he
proposed a fresh theory of alkalis that later was accepted
in chemical practices" syn: hypothesis, possibility
3: a belief that can guide behavior; "the architect has a
theory that more is less"; "they killed him on the theory
that dead men tell no tales"
I love you, too. You wasted my time by giving me wonderful links to "How to remove the IE executable," "How to disable the IE executable," and "How to run multiple instances of IE" for me to read when the point of the thread was to eliminate the holes introduced by mshtml.dll.
So, I guess that you have removed permission on it on your system? What percentage of your system works? Want to use any of the subsystems which rely on it? Too bad. How many of your programs that require it just broke?
Tard. Learn to read what Google gives you before you post it. Try a book, sometime. You might get confused by the big words, but that'll pass, and eventually you'll be able to follow the intelligent discussions on Slashdot. IHBT
