If your ISP goes down to implement priority queuing, your ISP sucks. There should be no downtime. There probably won't be for major links. Residential customers of ISPs like Time Warner will probably see downtime, but how to tell that it is tiered changeover downtime and not the usual we-spent-all-our-money-on-yachts-instead-of-upgrad ing-our-aging-infrastructure downtime?
Sorry if this is wrong, I haven't been following TPB news much, but don't they just host links, not actual content? Is it illegal in Sweden to point somebody to child porn?
"they are in a position to demand that Parallels release the modified library source doe to their customers."
Not quite. They are in a position to demand that the Parallels team stop violating the terms of the license. That is to say that the Parallels team could simply stop distributing the software in question - it is unlikely that the source would ever be released.
Because they don't have a monitor. Because they already have x86 hardware. Because they like good packaging tools, like APT. Because they like hacking the OS. Because they can't afford an Apple. Because they have everything they want working fine, and don't need any Apple applications. Because they hate spaces in important file/directory names. Because they use Linux servers and like doing development on the same platform.
It is corrupt people trying to get power by convincing people to be scared of the terrorists vs. corrupt people trying to get power by convincing people to be scared of being poor.
Yeah, I mean, remember all the shooting sprees and collateral damage from mass hysteria when everybody had guns in the 18th and 19th centuries? Oh, neither do I.
It is that way for everything. Read New York's tax law. I drive Ontario County, NY and buy a box of 50 garbage bags for $5, paying 3% sales tax to Ontario County. I use 3 bags in Ontario County to clean out my car, and throw them away. I drive back to my house in Monroe County, where the county sales tax is 4.25%. I use the other 47 bags. I now have to pay the state (which will presumably give the money to Monroe County) ($5/50bags)*(47bags)*(4.25%-3%) = $0.059.
The same principle applies for good purchased out of state.
You are making the assumption that all data on any particular tape expires at the same time. If that assumption is not valid, then you've got a lot of work ahead of you.
Obviously this is just my experience, but 2000 has been much more stable for me. I have never managed to bluescreen 2000.
Even if XP and 2000 are of equal stability, if I have to go around and make a dozen clicks to get a better interface, that makes it worse. Thus, 2000 is better.
I am a web developer. Every time I have seen a problem with my pages on Konqueror or Safari, it has turned out that I was not following the specs properly. It is more a reference implementation than another browser to hack for.
What is an Open Source movie?! It comes with a script and blueprints for a set, and I am free to make modifications to them and make my own movie and distribute it, so long as I make my script and blueprints available?
"really poor implementation of the wireless connection managers"
The same reason that everything is poorly implemented. Reality is complex, thus the requirements are complex. The requirements are complex, thus a complete implementation would be complex. A vast majority of customers can't handle a complex implementation, so a simple, but incomplete, implementation is built.
I didn't say anything for or against any person or party. I just think that we'd all be better off if all the congresscritters were not . . . trying to help.
If "we" were 50%, we could change it. Hell, if we were 25% and we all voted, we could change it. But we are a tiny minority under the tyranny of the masses. We have three options: 1) deal with it, 2) leave, or 3) invent a weapon that would allow you to single handedly defeat the US military.
If Congress wastes the next 19 months trying to oust W, that is 19 fewer months for burning more money in Iraq, saying that the Internet (cue evil bad guy music) is evil, and passing bills written by Disney.
It is not the federal government's job to run humanistic compassionate programs. As it is not a power given to the federal government in the Constitution, thus it is left to the states. The federal government pretty consistently makes a big mess and wastes a lot of money every time it gets involved in something it is not supposed to. Like Social Security.

RMS _wants_ Linux to get forked and to lose support. Then people will come help him with HURD.

"OOXML is an open standard."
Can you read the specification and then write software that implements it? No? How is that an open standard?

Something is only unconstitutional if a 5 of a certain group of 9 people say it is. Look at the history, how many times have 5 of 9 been wrong?
We also lack ability of ants to walk past a shiny trinket to get food for the colony.

Right and left don't even play into it anymore.

They aren't reading slashdot. It is just that once in a while the knee-jerk reaction is actually a good one.
He is mad that he never got the developer support for Hurd.

It is a social problem.
It will not be fixed by government regulation.

Those of us who stuck with the best version of Windows (2k) are out of luck.

Sure you can, you just have to put it in the right context.
A million bytes is (approximately) a Megabyte. A billion bytes is (approximately) a Gigabyte.
How many people setting up their spam filters to drop anything with a blue ribbon would it take before this scheme is junked?
I didn't say anything for or against any person or party. I just think that we'd all be better off if all the congresscritters were not . . . trying to help.
What can we do about this?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
If "we" were 50%, we could change it. Hell, if we were 25% and we all voted, we could change it. But we are a tiny minority under the tyranny of the masses. We have three options: 1) deal with it, 2) leave, or 3) invent a weapon that would allow you to single handedly defeat the US military.
