And I'm sorry, adagioforstrings, but UNC actually had students first.
From your own links:
UNC actually started its first building on October 12, 1793, and..."Opened to students on January 15, 1795, The University of North Carolina received its first student, Hinton James of New Hanover County, on February 12."
UGA..."was actually established in 1801 when a committee of the board of trustees selected a land site." No mention of the first class or student. Either way, my math (curtesy of a UNC education) says that UNC had students for six years before Georgia even decided where to locate their campus.
Now, for those of you not in on the UNC/UGA argument, this very same thing has been going on for a couple of hundred years. UGA has the oldest public charter; UNC has the oldest campus and has had students for the longest. We both claim to be the first (and are both right, depending on what you think is the beginning of a university).
I just didn't want any 'dawgs to go confusing the general public and making them think the Tarheels are younger;)
at least, on Mandrake number 4 has already been taken care of. i have a menu that says "What to do" and the nested choices (which each have more choices) are:
administer your system
enjoy music & video
play games
read documentation
use office tools
use the internet
view, modify, or create graphics
find files
the programs under these headings are the same ones you can find elsewhere, but the menu entries have been renamed to something descriptive (e.g. "change your password" or "listen to a CD")
its hard to get much more straigh-forward than that, and it is all right there on the "start" menu in plain sight. no reason why other distros couldn't do this, and should be easy for a user to add entries to the menu too.
as an AC i should just ignore you, but the actual quote is,
Novak doesn't have a law degree, but he is an old hand at legal wranglings. Talk to him and he cites case law, chapter and verse.
"It's my hobby," he said.
Novak was able to consolidate the case in federal court. "It's only five miles for me," he said. "All these people have to come here at their own expense."
He doesn't say "Case law is my hobby." He says "It's my hobby" in a quote that is surrounded by 1) "old hand at legal wrangling"
and
2) "...these people have to come here at their own expense."
TO ME it comes off as litigation is his hobby, not a general interest in case law. BTW, check his past history and see if he has ever sued before. Then tell me what his hobby is.
Here is a quote from a lawyer regarding NY anti-SLAPP
"Besides myself a couple of other attorneys have also looked at the New York statute. It is limited in what it applies to. For the most part the protected comments must have occurred before government entities."
That means its no good in this case. NY doesn't have a _REAL_ anit-SLAPP law, not like CA.
Actually, that isn't exactly what happened. On that list there is a long time trend of getting advice on where to shop (think about it, there aren't that many places to buy aquatic plants...tiny hobbie). One guy offered his opinion. Dozens more chimed in with similar stories (not just "me too"). One guy's complaint was overcharged shipping, but there were many others (including delayed shipping running into the multiple weeks, dead plants upon arrival, etc). There are just too many people that agreed for me to think he made it up. Plus, check the history of the case. The plaintiff continuously adds people each time someone says something negative about this their experiences, or even about the suit. My favorite part? Two of the defendants are John Doe and Mary Roe (in essence anyone else from the APD that he decides to add). More confusion is that he has claimed, in another article that filing suits is his "hobby." He also admits that the court is five miles from him, so it is a short drive, while each defendant has to pay for a plane ticket and motel to appear in court. The guy enjoys this. Read some of the amended complaints he has written, some are funny, most are sad, and generally all are poorly written. Why? Oh, he's representing himself. Wait, you say, how can a non-lawyer represent a corporation (Pets Warehouse Inc.)? Well, it can't, but he is doing it anyway. As soon as they sort out whether or not his company is incorporated or a sole-proprietorship maybe this will go away (if is is INC as he says, he can't represent it). For more information (and trust me, this is more about free speech and the internet than it is about plants or aquariums) here are some sites:
Forum for the suits discussion (generally pro defendants)Forum hosted by the plaintiff (he has a habit of deleting messages, and blocking posters, as is his right, but be aware it will only have ONE side)The defense fund's web siteA collection of court documents hosted by the lawyer in charge of the fundAnd, finally, to archives of the original messages, so you can read it yourself, and see what REALLY happened

maybe the issue isn't about stopping them from finding such things as goatse.cx, but stopping them from accidentally finding things like that. i mean, at five (or whatever age) maybe you don't want him going to whitehouse.com if he meant to go to whitehouse.gov maybe the point is to stop him from running across porn that he ISN'T looking for. once he starts trying to find it, well then its time for the talk. there's another use. i'm sure parents have a terrible time deciding when to talk about sex. the proxy might help. as soon as it starts returning that little johnny's newest favorite site is playboy.com, then you know you and johnny need to talk (letting him see playboy.com or not isn't the point). now the proxy has actually HELPED you to talk to your children about sex. you know they have some curiosity, and you can now step in and talk to them rather than let them search it out online. they can or can't do that later, after the talk. i think the guy has a good point...i'd probably do the same thing for my kids.

and, UNC is, of course, the best ;)
