Who cares? As a recipient of a name listed in the US census bureau's top 10 for male first names I can tell you that I didn't escape being made fun of over my name just because it is a popular name. I would think people would have better things to do than worry about whether someone else's name is sufficiently normal. (Perhaps we could escape the problem by giving everyone the same name. Then everyone could be "normal".)
As far as the whole addiction thing goes, I gave up being addicted to games for programming software. The puzzles are plenty difficult and the end boss challenging but I get paid for it instead of having to pay someone else.
I think it was a recent slashdot article that pointed out that we have been losing/reducing US tech jobs. So probably all those with cheap tech jobs got fired leaving only the highly paid tech jobs, which gives the impression that wages have gone up by reducing the numbers of people that made lower amounts.
With the GPL you pay your lawyer once to learn how to interpret GPL version X.
With Microsoft you need to pay your lawyer every time you install any program or update since they don't label their license agreements with version numbers and you never know exactly what changed.
Do you actually read all 20 or so pages of most software licensing agreements?
The information I presented came from multiple sources and has been agreed to be true.
John Kerry received 3 wounds, 2 of which did not even cause him to even lose any time on duty. After that he invoked a Navy regulation permitting him to request re-assignment. Certainly wasn't against the rules but not what I would consider a brave thing to do.
My feeling from the information I have on his Bronze Star is that he earned it for courage under fire. His actions after that are far less admirable in my opinion.
He's a whiner who ducked out of the war early so he could come back and complain about it.
He's two-faced. On the one hand he will march in an event where soldiers threw away the medals they earned, but on the other hand he holds on to his and tries to use them to bolster his claim to the commander-in-chief job.
And nothing he has done since then has been notable enough for him to bring it up in his campaign.
It seems to comes down to whether you are OK with Bush or you really dislike Bush and want a different character in office.

Exactly. All we really need to do is make something convincing that actually controls the market through induced reactions, paste some experts name on it, and sell it to enough people and, er, there is a better way to tell this...
1. make something convincing that controls the market through induced reactions 2. convince enough people to buy it so that it is effective 3. PROFIT!
Personally I am in favor of the death penalty for corporations convicted of murder.
It is possible to incorporate without a lawyer. All you need to do is fill out some paperwork and file it with the government. Whether or not you use a lawyer I would still recommend doing your homework so you know what you are getting into.
So you're saying it would be easy to determine that the math library was being used to target a weapon vs pinpointing the exact location needed for an architectural product or some such thing?
You or someone you know has uncovered a way of determining why a calculation is being calculated based on what is being calculated?
Of course we should be careful but something low-level such as a kernel or math library needs to be accurate in so many different circumstances that putting in specifically targeted errors would be difficult.
Something high-level, such as Gunnery Firmware 1.2 almost certainly should not be open-sourced but even if it were it seems like it would be difficult to make it work on way for the "good guys" and a different way for the "bad guys".
Remote exploits are the ones to worry about. Everything else should come out in testing and have workarounds.
just hire the experts to write the code in the first place Making code work the first time results in some ugly, non-optimized code, even for experts. Nicer if you can take working, tested code and use it.
Should you be more worried about the Coke version showing up in your facilities or the one built by enemies wanting to listen in on classified discussions that might not have advertised their version with a national advertising campaign?
And what if they aren't polite enough to use a coke can? What if they use a bagel instead? Or a shoe (now that would be the Smart thing to do)
SCO will cease to exist at the end of this case so they need this case to last as long as possible. This is a completely new claim and should be simply rejected as something they should have mentioned when they started this case.
As far as I can tell they plan to keep adding claims every so often and keep hoping one of them pans out. Someone (judge) should make this case go away and make them re-file if they want to keep adding BS claims to the list. To claim that something they gave away years ago wasn't something they gave away fits with their pattern but is so obviously moronic that it deserves loud laughter and a "go away, you bother me".
Not long my assistant and I were faced with a mystery. Our wireless doorbell was going haywire and our keyless entry remotes had ceased to function.
We unplugged the doorbell's receiver and pondered the problem. Eventually I came to the conclusion that the doorbell's transmitter was causing the jamming. I opened it up, blew out the water from the recent rain, and restored all functionality to the doorbell and to our keyless entry remotes.
Running as non-root has serious advantages though. A virus (as long as it doesn't become root due to a local exploit) can't take over the entire machine. If the virus can't replace system commands it can't hide itself. If it can't hide itself then you can just kill it by using the kill command.
Congressman: "We can't allow you to install this software on people computers without their permission" RIAA: "We can't support you in the next election" Congressman: "Maybe we can. Would you like to install a program that blows up their computer if they copy mp3s off the internet too? Can I bring you a cup of coffee too?"
Certainly we should have sympathy for the poor child with such a rotten home life.
However, assuming that Moore's argument is that we should have stronger gun laws this story is useless. The gun in question was not obtained legally.
This certainly isn't a case of a normal kid taking a gun from daddy's gun closet and taking it to school for a innocent show and tell on assassination. This was a previously violent child with access to an illegal weapon and no moral background to guide him. He needs help but he isn't a poster child for stricter gun laws.
I have heard a number of heartbreaking stories about the dangers of guns. They tend to fall into several categories. 1. Illegal Guns. Crimes committed with illegal guns are just arguments for the decent folks to be licensed to carry a weapon for self-defense. 2. Gun safety issues. Everyone should be properly trained to know that you always treat a gun as if it were loaded and never point it at someone unless you intend to kill them. (and weapons that use clips may have a bullet in the chamber) 3. Suicides. I don't see any reason why gun suicide should be any different than any other suicide. Perhaps if we instituted stronger penalties for suicides.
Here is my list of spams by country. The only country that shows up excessively is the US. I can't block them because I and most all of my friends live here.
Of course then you'll die from lack of eating (if you did eat you would die from the poisons in the foods or from choking) or from lack of exercise. There are just no safe options.
Exactly. After all we all know how annoying it can be when you're out communing with nature and your boss calls and wants to know how to reboot the coffeemaker.

We used to make fun of Graximilian though. What a stupid name.

That is because no one likes John Kerry.

That would be nice if we could get some prepared material to work with.

I wonder if the same strategy will work for prostitution.

I can't speak for the accuracy of the assertion that the web servers linked to in spam messages are located in China 71% of the time.
But I can say that of 3413 spam messages I received only 185 of them came from China.
Of course then you'll die from lack of eating (if you did eat you would die from the poisons in the foods or from choking) or from lack of exercise.

Neither is adding a monitoring system to the wilderness or hiking without taking proper precautions.
But I do agree with you.

Make sure the area has good cell phone coverage. Require all missing hikers to carry a cell phone.
