Keeping them in the dark with an antiquated, unproven teaching theory is impractical and unhealthy. The theory of evolution remains simply that, a theory.
That word... I do not think it means what you think it means.
I'm not surprised. Anyone here remember processtree.com? It was a for-pay distributed computing company that never got off the ground, probably because it couldn't find any customers.
Yeah, it's kinda weird, but not so much so. Here are the options:
Renewing Subscription. Minimum subscription of 3 months. $5 US per month. So the lowest-cost one-shot is $15.
Non-renewing subscription. This is $55 for 13 months (12 months + "1 month free").
However, you definitely want to check out the games database first, because while some games may work flawlessly, others won't work at all. No point in paying $15 to be able to play games you're not interested in playing.
Also, if you want to run productivity applications, check out CodeWeavers' CrossOver Office Professional. It runs MS Office, and also has a browser plugin that adds Windows Media Player and QuickTime support to any browser that supports Netscape plugins (on Linux/x86, e.g. Firefox). CodeWeavers is also fairly FOSS-friendly (much more so than TransGaming, IIRC), and is actively involved in the development of Wine.
You made me a foe after I practiced my freedom of speech and you have quite an extensive list of them. I hope that isn't a sign of your idea of free speech where it applies unless you don't agree with their point of view;)
It means that I don't take Slashdot's notion of "friends" and "foes" too seriously. It's a little informal experiment I'm doing for my own amusement. If somebody says something I don't agree with, in a way that makes me think the person might have a tendency to frequently say things I disagree with, they get marked as a foe. It works similarly with my "friends". Then I see how often my initial assessment is wrong.
Often people get toggled a few times between "friend" and "foe". Occasionally, I click "foe" when I mean "friend", and vice versa.
I recommend you don't take it personally, though you are free (as in free speech) to do so.;)
yes, he still thinks that micro-kernels are more reliable than monolithic kernels
Of course he does. Everyone does. The old argument between Linus and Andy was never about reliability. It was about *practicality* and *efficiency*. Microkernels usually incur a lot of overhead. Andy thought the overhead was worth it; Linus didn't.
In 2004 there were aboyt 3500 wiretap requests by law enforcement agencies. NONE were denied.
I'm skeptical that wiretap requests are ever actually "denied" outright, even when the system is working properly. My understanding is that usually the judge simply tells the officer, "you'll need to add information X, Y and Z to your request before I will authorize it." At that point, the officer either investigates further and obtains 'information X, Y, and Z', or just doesn't bother coming back.
Nearly a third of these companies spend more than 2% of their gross revenue on legal expenses
Which companies? What about the other two thirds? Are we supposed to think that 2% is a lot to spend on total legal expenses? What's the distribution?
I imagine that whatever the number, it's probably pretty huge. I recently met someone who was just entering law school in Ontario (Canada) this fall, and through her, I found out that apparently "Intellectual Property" law is the big money-maker for lawyers right now.
Slashdot Mirror
Are you sure? I thought that some birds of prey (e.g. eagles) also lacked this flaw.
That word... I do not think it means what you think it means.
I would think that such people are, by definition, not scientists.
When it's 11:25 PM wherever you are, that's the time to look.
Irrelevant. Nobody uses Windows P anyway.
If the men in black show up, they'll just "flashy-thing" you once you're done.

Does MS compress its XML? OpenOffice's format is XML *inside* a .zip container.
An even *faster* version would use puts instead of printf, and cut out all the format string parsing overhead...

On the other hand, 'almost 2 GHz memory speed' is a little more meaningful. At least they mentioned that.

For logging all outgoing email, as per some companies' data retention policies?
Interestingly enough, Canada seems to have much broader protections of freedom of speech. Don't know if this is implemented in practice, though.
Read the RFC. This topic is covered by "4.1.2. Explosion of Top Level Domain Names (TLDs)".
Yeah, but in this case, the "human resources" aspect might already be a sunk cost.
This has been covered countless times before. Please see RFC 3675 for more information.

Deterrance?
Doesn't Congress have to declare war in order for the U.S. to be legally "in wartime"?
Something like this is what I had in mind, specifically.
"Sure, I can help you, but I have a special fee structure for organizations/people like you..."
How do you know your copy of Gaim isn't compromised?
