I agree with staying out of the business of other countries as long as those countries are Democratic. Non-Democratic governments by their very nature violate and supress the rights of human beings and operate in total violation of the laws of God and Nature.
All governments operating without the consent of he governed must be removed from power as soon as possible. A government that operates without the consent of the governed does not have a right to exist.
When you say "people who are slaves to fascist governments deserve it because they don't revolt", that's exactly the same as saying "women who are raped deserve to be raped because they don't fight back." That's the kind of thing Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party would say. You are a horrible monster. Maybe if you're ever brutally raped and murdered, you'll use your dying breath to recant your evil, ignorant ways and die with some modicrum of humanity. I doubt it, though. You sicken me.
Irony is what happens when results don't meet expectations. When someone punches you in the nose, and you go to jail instead of the person who hit you, that's irony. If I say "I just LOVE what you've done with your hair" to a woman when she and I both know her hair is a mess, that's sarcasm.
So what is it if some guy punches you in the nose, and you say in response, "I just LOVE what you've done with your hair"?
The popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org has recently posted this article which provides a good in-depth look at the psychology behind the Open Source movement. It's pretty fair and even-handed; you might want to give it a look.
The popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org recently posted this very topical analysis of Microsoft and their business practices, which explains in some detail the history of Microsoft and some of the controversy surrounding it. I found it to be fairly balanced and impartial, in the general style of popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org. Although the article was written before today's recent news about the anti-trust case, it certainly sheds a lot of light on the issues surrounding the case.
Where is the future of video gaming headed?
on
Rent-a-Game

· Score: 1
I recently read this very topical article on the popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org. This article raises a lot of good points, and makes me wonder: what will video games be like in five years? In ten? Does this "Rent-a-Game" craze represent a new step in game evolution, or is it a passing fad that nobody will remember in five years? What are the implications in the growing broadband market? Will it guide the types of games we see in the future? I'm used to reading insightful articles on the popular news and discussion site Adequacy.Org, but the above-linked video game article is a rare gem. I know video games are largely insignificant to the world as a whole, but they represent a microcosm of something much, much larger.
This might be a reason to custom-build your own PC

This turbulence in the computer market is making it very difficult to know what companies you can trust, what companies you can't trust, and what kind of computer you really need. Custom-building is an option that becomes more and more attractive with each passing day: by buying the components you really need and skipping the ones you don't, you can get a faster, more reliable computer for mess less than you'd pay for a pre-build PC, and you'll learn something doing it.
Although PC building has previously been the sole domain of propellerhead geeks, the controversial news and discussion site Adequacy.Org has recently posted an article demystifying the process and explaining the art of PC building in simple, easy-to-understand terms. It'll explain to you the full process of building your very own PC that you can truly call "your own" without drowning you in technical details. I found it very useful when custom-building my PC.
In the mean time, the rest of the world will define an OS by its kernel and label them accordingly.
Oh, cool. I can't wait for Microsoft's next release of NTKRNL.DLL! NTKRNL.DLL 2000 is pretty good, but I hear NTKRNL.DLL XP is going to be AWESOME! I'm just glad that they're finally putting KRNL32.DLL 95, KRNL32.DLL 98, and KRNL32.DLL ME to rest!
HavenCo is the hosting corporation. Sealand is the country where HavenCo's first facility is located. HavenCo is not Sealand. HavenCo's web site states that they plan to set up facilities in other locations around the world, which is probably a good idea in the event of the entirity of Sealand is swallowed by a tidal wave. Read what you just quoted. "does not allow content illegal in a given country to be hosted on servers at HavenCo facilities within that specific country." That means that content illegal at Sealand can't be hosted at the HavenCo location in Sealand. Which part of "HavenCo facilities within that specific country" is unclear? HavenCo has no facilities in Canada, so they'd place no restrictions based on Canadian law.
I think I have the record. One of my posts had thirty-one moderator points spent on it. I think the spread was 16 positive and 15 negative, but one of the negatives was when it was already at -1, and it was posted AC, so it wound up at 2. It wasn't anything spectacular or even original, just a compendium of some of my previous "naked and petrified" posts, but I got finally got it in as a first post on a high-traffic story. My "Open Letter to ESR" had about 17 points spent on it, which was my previous record.
There's a category of people at LNO that I find it absolutely impossible for me to get along with: humans. They just don't agree with me. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about running in to any of those at Slashdot.
But now that Potato is stable, I'll hopefully start pumping out my Debian NHF's within a week or so.
Here's my sources.list. I think the comments speak for themselves. Let me know if you have anything to add.
Enjoy!

# Anyone I'm forgetting (please let me know)
# This is meant to be used with systems running the unstable version
# of Debian. It fetches stable package lists also for purposes of
# completeness (some packages I like were removed from slink), and
# because there's no harm in it. This list also will fetch package
# lists from the project/experimental branch. These are new packages
# that haven't yet been accepted into even the unstable release.
# These packages are usually marked as experimental in the package
# description itself, and I must warn you that these packages are often
# VERY experimental. There's some GREAT stuff in project/experimental,
# and there's stuff that will crash the moment it's installed. I've
# never encountered anything that actually hurt the system, so don't
# be afraid to give them a try. That's part of the fun of it. Final
# note is that there is some redundancy in this list. This is because
# I don't like having to edit the file whenever a server is down, which
# seems to happen a lot with some servers -- important stuff is always
# fetched from two locations, in case one is down. This will make an
# apt-get update take a few minutes longer on a modem connection, so
# comment-out whatever you want.
# To put this file to good use, copy it (or the parts of it you want)
# to your/etc/apt/sources.list, and then either run the command
# apt-get update, or select the "update" option in dselect.
# This is just a jumping-off point. This is just what works for me. For
# people with cable modems and other fast connections, it would be
# advantageous to check the Debian mirrors list and replace some of the
# servers below with servers that you can get a high data transfer rate
# from. The first two servers below were chosen for their good ping time
# from my location, not for actual data transfer rate -- I didn't want
# to spend all day downloading from 50 servers to see which were fastest,
# so I just selected the first two based on ping time. The others servers
# on the list are unique in some way. Final note, I don't know what would
# happen if you used this file with Corel or Storm Linux, because I haven't
# used them yet. Check their documentation for the consequences and caveats
# of using normal Debian archives with those distros, and let me know while
# I'm at it, I'm curious about how it works.
# FYI: You will note $(ARCH) in some of the entries below. APT will
# substitute your system architecture (i386 for Intel users) whereever
# $(ARCH) appears. This allows access cross-platform with the same
# sources file. See the sources.list manpage for more info.
# PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS, we can
# work together to create the ULTIMATE sources.list.:)

"ICQ clients could use the AIM interface, but for some reason every client I've seen takes after the horrable crappy original ICQ interface. Anyone know of one that doesn't?"
The first "naked and petrified" post on any open-source website was made by me on Segfault.org in July of 1999. I started with "Natalie Portman naked and petrified" because Ms. Portman had the greatest mass-market appeal and name recognition potential of any young lady I could think of.
I started "Mae Ling Mak naked and petrified" after becoming enamored by reading a couple of Ms. Mak's Segfault articles. I soon extended "naked and petrified" to others as well, and of course as it gained in popularity others took it in all new directions.
It wasn't me that took "naked and petrified", my beloved love-child, to Slashdot. In fact, I don't know WHO it was. But once comments were disabled on Segfault, SOMEONE did, and I decided to review my decision that Slashdot wasn't the right place for "naked and petrified". In fact, Slashdot was a *WONDERFUL* place for "naked and petrified".
I think it was roughly around September that Segfault disabled comments. I've been posting "naked and petrified" messages (including the famous "Open Letter to ESR" which ESR himself wound up reading) here ever since then, on and off, and so have my many loyal fans and followers. I've also engaged in a few other projects when my "naked and petrified" muse wasn't helpful, such as PR0J3C7 31337-H4X0R-5P34K, which never really got off the ground, although I am rather proud of its first work, "1 H4V3 4 DR34M".
Of course, petrification-related stuff has been around the Internet for as long as anyone can remember. As long as the Internet has existed, people with an interest in petrification have been able to find each other and talk about their interests. Only in the past 10 years, though, have the websites and newsgroups and stuff started to spring up related to that interest.
Well, it was a good 10,000. Here's to 10,000 more... NAKED AND PETRIFIED.
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ ubb/Forum22/HTML/000159.html I had initially suggested that entrants ante their/etc/passwd, winner take all, but Sensei had a better idea: the person who guesses the correct date wins a Linuxnewbie t-shirt.
It was on a radio program. It's also in a book. The author of the book was on the radio program. It was on American Family Radio or something like that.

What do you mean, "current president"? I think you mean "last two presidents." Mr. William Jefferson Clinton NEVER received even 50% of the vote.

Debian 2.2 has 5000 or so. Use my sources.list and you can have over 7000.
That's truly a classic game.
Remember when his daughter gets turned to stone?
I think I have the record. One of my posts had thirty-one moderator points spent on it. I think the spread was 16 positive and 15 negative, but one of the negatives was when it was already at -1, and it was posted AC, so it wound up at 2. It wasn't anything spectacular or even original, just a compendium of some of my previous "naked and petrified" posts, but I got finally got it in as a first post on a high-traffic story. My "Open Letter to ESR" had about 17 points spent on it, which was my previous record.
There's a category of people at LNO that I find it absolutely impossible for me to get along with: humans. They just don't agree with me. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about running in to any of those at Slashdot.
But now that Potato is stable, I'll hopefully start pumping out my Debian NHF's within a week or so.
Here's my sources.list. I think the comments speak for themselves. Let me know if you have anything to add.

# Anyone I'm forgetting (please let me know)
# This is meant to be used with systems running the unstable version
# of Debian. It fetches stable package lists also for purposes of
# completeness (some packages I like were removed from slink), and
# because there's no harm in it. This list also will fetch package
# lists from the project/experimental branch. These are new packages
# that haven't yet been accepted into even the unstable release.
# These packages are usually marked as experimental in the package
# description itself, and I must warn you that these packages are often
# VERY experimental. There's some GREAT stuff in project/experimental,
# and there's stuff that will crash the moment it's installed. I've
# never encountered anything that actually hurt the system, so don't
# be afraid to give them a try. That's part of the fun of it. Final
# note is that there is some redundancy in this list. This is because
# I don't like having to edit the file whenever a server is down, which
# seems to happen a lot with some servers -- important stuff is always
# fetched from two locations, in case one is down. This will make an
# apt-get update take a few minutes longer on a modem connection, so
# comment-out whatever you want.
# To put this file to good use, copy it (or the parts of it you want)
# to your
# apt-get update, or select the "update" option in dselect.
# This is just a jumping-off point. This is just what works for me. For
# people with cable modems and other fast connections, it would be
# advantageous to check the Debian mirrors list and replace some of the
# servers below with servers that you can get a high data transfer rate
# from. The first two servers below were chosen for their good ping time
# from my location, not for actual data transfer rate -- I didn't want
# to spend all day downloading from 50 servers to see which were fastest,
# so I just selected the first two based on ping time. The others servers
# on the list are unique in some way. Final note, I don't know what would
# happen if you used this file with Corel or Storm Linux, because I haven't
# used them yet. Check their documentation for the consequences and caveats
# of using normal Debian archives with those distros, and let me know while
# I'm at it, I'm curious about how it works.
# FYI: You will note $(ARCH) in some of the entries below. APT will
# substitute your system architecture (i386 for Intel users) whereever
# $(ARCH) appears. This allows access cross-platform with the same
# sources file. See the sources.list manpage for more info.
# PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS, we can
# work together to create the ULTIMATE sources.list.

"ICQ clients could use the AIM interface, but for some reason every client I've seen takes after the horrable crappy original ICQ interface. Anyone know of one that doesn't?"
Yes.
http://www.everybuddy.com/
Can you put me on your list of accounts to check?
I feel bad being left out, you heartless prick. Stop treating me like a second-class citizen by leaving me off your list.
That's so true. So very very true.
I ate some bad chicken. Nasty stuff.
The first "naked and petrified" post on any open-source website was made by me on Segfault.org in July of 1999. I started with "Natalie Portman naked and petrified" because Ms. Portman had the greatest mass-market appeal and name recognition potential of any young lady I could think of.
I started "Mae Ling Mak naked and petrified" after becoming enamored by reading a couple of Ms. Mak's Segfault articles. I soon extended "naked and petrified" to others as well, and of course as it gained in popularity others took it in all new directions.
It wasn't me that took "naked and petrified", my beloved love-child, to Slashdot. In fact, I don't know WHO it was. But once comments were disabled on Segfault, SOMEONE did, and I decided to review my decision that Slashdot wasn't the right place for "naked and petrified". In fact, Slashdot was a *WONDERFUL* place for "naked and petrified".
I think it was roughly around September that Segfault disabled comments. I've been posting "naked and petrified" messages (including the famous "Open Letter to ESR" which ESR himself wound up reading) here ever since then, on and off, and so have my many loyal fans and followers. I've also engaged in a few other projects when my "naked and petrified" muse wasn't helpful, such as PR0J3C7 31337-H4X0R-5P34K, which never really got off the ground, although I am rather proud of its first work, "1 H4V3 4 DR34M".
Of course, petrification-related stuff has been around the Internet for as long as anyone can remember. As long as the Internet has existed, people with an interest in petrification have been able to find each other and talk about their interests. Only in the past 10 years, though, have the websites and newsgroups and stuff started to spring up related to that interest.
Well, it was a good 10,000. Here's to 10,000 more... NAKED AND PETRIFIED.

That thread shows what dates are still available. Most of February and March are booked.
http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ ubb/Forum22/HTML/000159.html I had initially suggested that entrants ante their /etc/passwd, winner take all, but Sensei had a better idea: the person who guesses the correct date wins a Linuxnewbie t-shirt.
Sorry, I don't spam.
Naked and petrified, yes, spam, no.
What I hate about Saturday is that all the first graders like you are out of school.
It was on a radio program. It's also in a book. The author of the book was on the radio program. It was on American Family Radio or something like that.
