Anyone want to put down bets as to how much this minor update is going to cost Apple owners? $100? $200? $300? I remember when my school got reamed from upgrading from 10.1 to 10.2
You should make it a little turd, and give it these cartoony red feet, and maybe a light-blue cape, and maybe glasses, and some horns on it's head ('cause they're the Great Satan, right?), kinda like this.
I was talking about the unemployed, or the people who were evicted from their careers because of layoffs and have to work shitty jobs just to pay the bills now.
And obviously you must have a rather low opinion of your profession if you don't think you can go back to school for additional degrees in Computer Science-related fields.
The more ground the dollar loses, the more expensive it becomes for American companies to ship jobs overseas. Besides, the foreign exchange market is not indicitive of the economic health of a country.
The budget surplus - yeah, that's pretty stupid too. The ability of Congress to curtail spending is pretty much independent of the economic health of the country. Find more money? OH BOY, LET'S SPEND MORE ON WORTHLESS SOCIAL PROGRAMS!
As for outsourcing - why don't you just go back to school and educate yourself into a position that is too specialized to be outsourced? Or at least find a way to capitalize on substandard work churned out by Indian code sweatshops.
FAQs.org is a large repository of USENET group FAQs. I find it indispensible when looking for an overview of particular topic, such as the comp.compression FAQ or the comp.graphics.rendering.raytracing FAQ. All kinds of interesting articles are to be had on that site alone, it's a fun read.
Also, I find that Security Focus has a huge backlog of very useful and interesting information for those concerned with computer security. In that same vein, dbaseiv.net [Google cache, the site seems to be down right now] is shaping up to be a huge repository of computer security knowledge.
The Linux Documentation Project is full of HOWTOs relating to Linux, if you've got a Linux problem that you need to work out (though HOWTOs make for really boring recreational reading).
This is just what I can come up with off the top of my head, I'll probably post a reply to this when I remember more.
Do you think that they (the charities and other non-profits) are so financially inept that you must save them from themselves by demanding that a choice be removed from the market, for their own good?
"Those critics say they believe Microsoft is using a giveaway strategy to undercut the so-called free software movement in the potentially promising nonprofit market."
Did somebody forget to proofread this article before posting? That makes no sense - how in the fuck can you undercut a free product? How is such a market "promising" if no sales are made? How is there even what could be called a "market" for something that is free? Doesn't one have to buy or sell in a market?
I think the Free Software people are just jealous because Microsoft, too, figured out that giving away their software for free is a good idea. God, it's like you people want to see non-profits be deprived of choices or special benefits in the market. Truly the mark of a zealot - you people were probably the same people who wanted to see Skylarov kept in prison so he could be the test case for your DMCA challange.
I've found that there are several low-res pictures of this and more available on some random website for some reason. Apparently these have leaked out onto the internet from NASA. Do we have an aspiring warezer working there or something?
That's pretty disgusting, especially considering that you're talking about a children's book. Somebody please mod parent down - I don't want to think of this every time I read a bedtime story to my small children.
Um. An HTTP gaming network is not the same as people who "actually use HTTP"? What is the difference? Is this "gaming network" not really HTTP? You're not making very much sense.
Would this work the other way around? I mean, I know it sounds ludicrous that someone protecting their own systems could get in trouble for doing so, but let's take a different look at this using a slightly differnet situation.
Let's say you're somebody (maybe Fyodor) and you break into someone's system and subsequently monitor it through screenshots. This is a rather clearcut case, is it not? The wiretapping is bad no matter which sides you place the two parties on.
Furthermore, this smacks of vigilanteism. If people start taking the law into their own hands, what happens to the whole idea of a codified system of justice? Or, indeed, justice at all? Wiretapping is best left to the justice system.
If you're, say, Fyodor and you're running a honeypot (like he does, he's involved w/ the project), you can more or less count on the fact that the perp is some poor minor or college student who won't be able to bring suit in court. Hell, if you're Fyodor, this works when you're on the other side, too.
Well, teamhasnoi, perhaps if you did a little research, you may find out. If not the infringing code, then at least how to properly spell "kernel".
Yeah, but what about this other stuff?

When is Linux going to have some real desktop alpha transparency support? I'm sick and tired of this fake transparency shit that smears terminal window backgrounds all over the desktop. My Mac does this, and I really feel that this is holding me back from switching to Linux. When will this be implemented, anyway?

Um, no. If I invest that much time in writing a game, I'm not giving it away for free. What kind of point are you trying to prove?
ftp.cdrom.com was able to fully saturate it's gigabit network uplink years ago, and it's just an x86 ftp server. 145mbit is like pissing in a river.

It looks exactly the same! That is just too cool!
You mean there are vendors giving out pants? That's just awesome.
Yeah, now only the people with original ideas will be able to compete! What a crock of shit!
Seriously, will OSS ever produce an original idea, or will it all be about copycat-ism?

What does that have to do with my statement?

You can't kill this now. Too many people know what you did.

Why would you learn law from a TV series? I hope you don't pass yourself off as a lawyer or anything.

Yeah, you can tell that to my cellmate, Bubba!

Um, ok. If I wanted to read SuSE's press releases, I'd just have them send them to me at phobos@safe-mail.net
