It seems to me what is needed (trying to get the discuss going for the specs of an OpenSource package going) is to give the parents the ability to say "These sites are ok for my kid." Then if the kid goes to new site X, the parents get sent an email and they can discuss with the kid adding the new site.
I realize it's not the best solution, but maybe it can start a discussion that might go some where....
That's funny... almost every geek I know in realspace is a ragin' Ted-Kennedy type liberal. However, most of the geek I've meet on the neat seem to lean from right-wing to libertarian....
Then again there is RMS.... I think he qualifies as geek doesn't he??
Most of the clientele disagrees with you. And the media certainly does. And the media is right because? I disagree that it's a majority of the clientelle. There are a few idealogues who are very vocal, but overall there is still a great deal of non-linux content of moderate quality.
Look at how the frothing GNU wackos come out in droves anytime something does fit into their regime.
But that does not make it a linux site. Just because the TM (Transcendental Mediation -- see this site )people try to take over sci.physics doesn't mean that sci.physics is a TM newsgroup.
Look at how the moderators autoinc anything that's for the FSF or GPL or Stallman or Linux, leave BSD neutral (unless it's against Linux), and autodec anything that's about making money or Microsoft or Bill Gates
Yeah, some moderators do, some don't (see my point above). It's basically just a really powerful minority... mostly because they are more involved than the Mac/Amiga/Win/BSD people here. The other are here but seem to do less moderation and meta-moderation.
You must have a very narrow definition of a geek if all geeks are interested in is Linux.
This is a GEEK site not a Linux site.Always has been (and I've been here from the begining (as an AC I just recently became a user)) and probably will be for a little while longer.
That's part of how/. has gotten as big as it has, it's a place where moderately knowledge (and a few very knowledgable) people from several different factions get together and talk semi-intelligently.
The fact is that/. has never been just about linux, that has been the perception of the media and some of the participants, but a quick test... do a search on Macintosh or Amiga or just about any technology... you'll see a suprisingly large number of hits going back quite aways....
I think it is a little rash to be offended by a statement like the above. I took it as. "I want to realese it, but I had to take some late night shortcuts that I don't want you to see (since they are so kludgey). I really haven't had time to clean it up because I am a person of some noterity (thus has to answer a lot of questions) who has a lot of work to do."
Calling people who question you an ass really illustrates that you have no logical leg to stand on in your arguments.
Or maybe just frustrated. People have been moaning about this quite publicly for quite awhile, and if I were a/. staffer, I'd be half way to postal by now.....
I am a dedicated [U/Li]n[i/u]x and Xwindows user, but would still rather use Win XXXX than deal with Mac's crappy co-operative multi-tasking. Have you been living in a cave?
MacX is based on BS-fsckin'-D. That's right it is a freakin' UNIX variant which makes your statement demonstrably false.
Please read the comment and such before you post. Thank you.
This is very similar to my story. (Not the violent fits, but I did have myclonic temors about 2 mos. after the incident I relate, as well as being in a deep (probably commitable) depression at the time it occured.).
My skills (no z) probably about 1/3 of the level they were at at the time, however my prowess as a developer (as opposed to a coder) have probably tripled. I wouldn't be suprised if yours have too.
For example, do you document more? (I do, which I never did before forcing my mind to think more normally) Is your code more readable?
The sort of thing that separates a coder from a developer I find to be much easier to accomplish without those hyper-attentive states. Then again that just be me.:)
I wish you the best of luck in working these problems out!
I managed to reach it exactly once, and now I have all kinds of bells and whistles installed to prevent me from reaching it again! I saw a Scientific American that talked about some research about agents that ranked films and such. (Based on surveys.) I immediately saw how it could apply to ferreting out web pages that I'd like.... At anyrate I started coding and coding and coding. According to work I missed 4 days... all I know was that after the thing finally compiled and worked, I noticed a veritable feast for the nose (i.e. my own stink). Best as I can figure, I must have fallen asleep in fits and starts becuase I didn't feel tired at all!
(Side note: All of that work got lost when some roaches got into my computer and ate all the insulator of my SCSI cables! Sadly, since I have no notes, no nothing I haven't been able to recreate the program again... sigh!)
There has been a lot of hype about this card for the last N months.
Mostly in the Macintosh world (remember some of us use supplemental operating systems) where this is the supposed solution to Apple being cheap and only given "power users" 4 slots (most need 6+ for some reason unknown to people such as me...then again I don't do graphics!)
This was supposed to be the card that put ATI back on the map... apparently not!:( [Personally I've only had good experiences my ATI card, but then again I've only used the one(1).]
ATI promised to have the specs availible. This was very big news a while ago. While they are not as commited as some companies, they do a little bit. A great bene for those of us running LinuxPPC!
Randi didn't use any chemicals. Just barely perceptable bending back and forth, which causes enough metal fatigue to cause large bends. It was all covered on Nova years ago. There really isn't much debate on this anymore.
I think that I may have stated my question poorly. Unfortunately I was on vaction when this was posted, so I missed much of the discussion.
My idean is to post the database schema under something like the LGPL, allowing multiple sources to host information on say the value of 1980's comics. The structure of the DB would progress like any other open source project, but the content would be available from several source, each with different content. All I'm talking about doing is setting up a standard db for a given function (dishing out the value of you X-MEN 247) that many people could write open/closed source clients for searching.... but the content would not be syncronized unless the "licensce" (the restrictions mentioned in my question) allowed for it.
Those of us old enough to remember the Mac's transition to color, we remember that this isn't true. All it requires some smart planning on the OS side and it'll work w/o trouble.
Bobby Sands was convicted (without a trial mind you) for carrying a gun. The british gov't never produced any evidence that he was a terrorist. (Although, truth be told, he most likely was.) My respect for Bobby Sands, MP. was the peaceful hungerstrike he was involved with which lead to his death. You may want to read Bitting On the Grave by O'Malley for more info.
I do. I think you are confusing "violent" and "disruptive". Disruptive means that the targets of the process cannot carry on as if nothing is happening. Sit-ins, for example, are usually highly disruptive. No, I am not. The protests in Seatle (if their had been no violent minority) where disruptive. They were intending to prevent the meeting.
The March on Selma was just that a march. Gandhi's boycott of the textile and salt purification industries where boycotts, they did not prevent the companies from doing bussiness.
Oops. I guess a better way to put that would be Instead of "tidally locked towards the earth." put "faces the earth during most of the normal lunar cycle."

Is that any clearer?
This is almost exactly what cinescape.com is reporting.
And why the hostility? He said Fox is quoting 2006, which would be about 10 Mos or so after the finishing of the prequels. So his story jibes.
The best explination I ever heard was frommy wife's first boyfriend's mother.
She said that santa stopped time and you could tell he had because when time stopped bubbles formed on the side of a glass of water.
So every christmas eve, the kid went to sleep with a glass of water by the bed so he could tell when santa had come and gone!

Thank you....
Gee, maybe he was just using the convention that the "light side" is the side tidally locked towards the earth and the "dark side" isn't.
Gee, maybe that's it. Considering even NASA has used that terminology. Hell one of my Astronomy Profs used it when I was in college.
I think you might want to cut down on the speed... err, coffee.
