I'm guessing the purpose of prison is justice. I won't say all, but I would imagine most people have a keen sense of when justice has been done. I also believe that when justice is not done, it really bothers most people -- whether the just result is punishment or reward.
I'm in a rural part of Ontario with no cable or DSL and several of us in this area have 50 foot towers so we can get high speed access. It's an expensive option, but if nothing else is available, you do what you have to do.
Is there any reason you can't run the web and database servers locally on your laptop so that it's always available when you need it, but not using power otherwise?
Everybody knows that the party that will benefit from such lenient voter registration standards are the Democrats, which just goes to show how stupid and lazy the Democratic politicians (and judges) think their likely voters are. It's the same party that wants felons and illegal immigrants to be able to vote -- not to mention dead people. So much more could be said, but I'm certain I'm not saying anything that hasn't been thought of before. Even the people that flame me for saying this will probably be part of the group that benefits from this policy.
From the Introduction: This book covers GNU/LINUX system administration, for popular distributions like RedHat and Debian, as a tutorial for new users and a reference for advanced administrators. It aims to give concise, thorough explanations and practical examples of each aspect of a UNIX system. Anyone who wants a comprehensive text on (what is commercially called) ``LINUX'' need look no further--there is little that is not covered here.
This will just mean more people running red lights. That could mean more accidents, or it may not, just like speeding causes accidents sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. The end result is that it doesn't really accomplish anything; it just converts the offense.
Wouldn't a good way to ensure a common installer be to have autoconf be able to do dep resolution, then write a GUI for it? Then the developers would only have to use autoconf and know that their source tarball would work on any platform. Is it as simple as that?
The money that's spent litigating against Microsoft and and trying to bring them down could be much better spent educating consumers. Ignorant consumers are the "enemy" -- not Microsoft.
What if those funds went toward somebody's rent that was working on the luxury car assembly line, or the waterfront property carpentry? Wouldn't that be a noble deed? Wouldn't these people be benefiting from the cash as well?
The alternative would be for the computer owner to spend the time learning how to do the repair. In the end, it may be cheaper for them to pay somebody $300 and know that it works. If the job is an easy one, the gamble pays off, otherwise, it might end up costing them more to replace the whole computer they just accidentally ruined.
I would imagine that the headache is caused by dehydration since the person who is consuming large quantities of coffee is probably not drinking much water.
I drink 3 liters of water a day in addition to the usual 4-6 cups of coffee a day and my kidneys have never been happier.
But the fact is the amature radio service is a vital emergency service
I would assume that if we were having to use ham radios for emergency communication, then people would be unable to get online anyway and interference becomes a non-issue. Besides the same could be said of internet communication and probably even moreso, since it's more widespread. Imagine if telephone lines caused interference with ham radios. Do you think that anybody other than those hobbyists would care?
Don't get me wrong. I think ham radios are a worthwhile hobby and situations exist that make them a necessity, but I think internet communication is definitely a higher priority in this century.

Adds a whole new meaning to "I'm Feeling Lucky" now, doesn't it?

Some thoughts on GNU and freedom

The BSD license is more about Freedom. The GPL is more about Fairness. We mustn't confuse the two.
I dislike spatial for the same reason I hate websites that pop up new windows for every link.
LINUX: Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition

The worst thing that can happen is that your project evolves into something else entirely, and in the meantime you find out if it works.
People hate change, so sometimes you just have to do what you want.
Considering the guy that posted this catalogue stuff is at bob@upperspace.com, that would make sense.
Following this guy's example, I am not going to use security on my network because the DOD does.
Linux is just the kernel. The OS is Google/Linux.
This will just mean more people running red lights. That could mean more accidents, or it may not, just like speeding causes accidents sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. The end result is that it doesn't really accomplish anything; it just converts the offense.
I guarantee you this dead guy doesn't give a rats ass about his privacy rights right now. Once your dead, who cares?

I know the jokes get old, but I actually thought this one was pretty funny. My humor is relatively lame, though, I guess.
5.6% unemployment: Low for Clinton, High for Bush.

In Northern Ontario, we call those Shadflies (see http://www.shadfly.com).

I always find it amusing that the man who wrote XScreensaver complains about usability.
