That's three. I'd say that's better than a lot of distros do. Admittedly it's nowhere near what RH does. More kudos to RH.
On the less linkable front, Canonical pulled together a lot of stuff like live CDs, packaging systems, hardware detection, and best available applications and put them onto a single CD, distributing the CD for free. They even had a special installer. Having used Linux for over ten years, I can say that they were the first group in my experience to do all those things.
What happend to the good old "we'd rather have ten guilty men run free than put one innocent man in jail"?
9/11 -- I'm so glad I've been out of the US for eight years.
The funny thing about the blood is one of the prosecution witness' testimony about Hans probably strangling her because he was a black belt in Judo. Strangling plus blood doesn't add up much, unless he hacked her to pieces after words, put her in a plastic bag, put that bag in the sleeping bag....
The US has a quarter of the world's prisoners but has less than 5% of the world's population.
That's because in a lot of other countries, they just kill instead of imprisoning. Don't confuse liberal (as in "free") prisoner rights with the number of people arrested.
Heck, I'll just bring up one of my favorite stories.
A few years ago, when I was in Thailand, the former Prime Minister (Thaksin) declared a "War on Drugs." Since human life is valued less in Thailand than it is in most western countries, that war meant executing drug dealers on the spot, which in reality meant that the police in the north just shot anyone they didn't like and planted heroine on the body.
Over a thousand people died in that "war on drugs." I've never liked the phrase since.
While I'm here, the submitter should talk to the guys on the K12OS.org mailing list. They deal with this issue all the time and will probably have the most to say about it.

Bender and OpenOffice.org are both formerly closed source programs. OO.o (then StarOffice) was purchased by Sun and released so that they would have a viable alternative to MS Office on their platform, while Blender wwent under and was purchased through donations from the FOSS community.
Thanks for the support, but my handle is actually not Korean -- it's Thai. I've lived in Korea for four years now, though, so I have some experience and am not talking out of my ass. I can't even apply for a re-entry visa online, a task that is quite simple for IE users. IE under Wine won't even work.
The Internet connection in Korea rocks, and Ilove it, but the actual Korean web sucks, filled with IE-only sites, sites completely in Flash, and sections of text converted to JPEGs to make the page formatting consistent.
Regarding the moderation -- it's probably one of the Mac guys I pissed off recently. I've been mod-bombed a few times in the last two weeks.
Nothing incediary in the first post. The AC (you?) took the gloves off. Your non sequiturs just leave me O_o.
Not a Red Stater
Not a Republican
Not anti-environment
Am pro-science
Have not owned a car since I was 30
Still ride my bike to work (when weather permits) at 40 years old
Use public transportation otherwise.
Recycle and reuse wherever possible
Don't care about having material shit
STILL don't like the leaders of the environmental movement taking stances that trade the truth for "the greater good of humanity." That is against science.
"Even if global warming is a false alarm, isn't it a good thing to handle the waste of our industrial civilization will[sic] better care."
I wasn't making a case for action (or otherwise) for the GW movement. I was commenting on people's tendency toward distrust of the environmental movement due to beliefs like the one expressed above. "Fuck the facts! If the uneducated masses move in the right direction, that's all that matters."
"School yard bully language?" Did you even read my comment? I said nothing incendiary. "If the woodsman doesn't look for the wolf, and insists that it doesn't exist, doesn't mean the wolf doesn't wait." I didn't say that I don't believe in GW. In fact, I said that I do. I was making a statement about human psychology and the repercussions of the environmental movement's interest in moving its cause forward instead of talking about facts.
When studies come out saying "Process A" uses more toxic chemicals or causes more total damage to the environment (or whatever) than "process B," the environmental movement will vilify process B if it doesn't match with the platform of change they want. That's historical fact.
For proof of my former point, you just need to look at the environmental movement's characterization of nuclear energy (particularly the breeder reactors). If we (the U.S.) had moved to nuclear energy in the 70's (like France), we wouldn't have serious emission problems now. On that point, at least, they care nothing about the facts. GM foods fall in the same category. There are many more.
It could also explain the loss of ancient technology, like space travel. That's just too small a population to maintain that kind of advanced knowledge. OMG! O_o

Is that you, UbuntuDupe?
- Branded version of RH, Suse, Ubuntu, or whatever.
- Hardware store with devices tested with #1 and guaranteed to work.
- CNR-style software store offering productivity and gaming choices. They could be ported or even packaged with Wine to start with.
All that equals no headaches for the consumer. I'm hoping that the online model gets pushed forward.- Upstart, which, except for the kernel, is about as low-level as you can go.
- Storm, since Ubuntu loves Python.
- Bazaar, a revision control system used in Launchpad.

I've marked down your vow in my logs. For your sake (but not Hans/Nina's), I hope you're right.

I was interested in your comment up until this point.

Ri-li is an awesome snake-like train game which has questions pertaining to the constitution in between levels. It's fun even for adults.

Most sites in Korea are designed specifically for IE on Windows. There's no internet banking without it.
OK. I didn't vote for Bush. Does that make you happy now?.
Are you the movement? Probably not. "The Republican Party" doesn't often refer to all Republicans, but to the leadership. Same here.
Please read.

This will fall on deaf ears, I predict.
Getting some work done... on Slashdot?
YEah. They really prefer Jigdo, which is a similar tool Debian uses.
You don't need the .iso to reinstall.
That should be offered automatically when he inserts the CD.
I got Ubuntu (64bit) Hardy during the Alpha cycle, and as usual, I reinstalled about three days before the actual release.
You don't need to download a CD to reinstall, by the way. You can do it all through GRUB.
