"Taking initiative" in the context of "service in the United States Congress" means supporting legislation. Al Gore did exactly that. He pushed legislation, amog that the High Performance Computing and Communications Act of 1991, which transformed some isolated research networks into what we today call the Internet.
He saw the potential of the "Information Superhighway" when most of the HAHA GORE INVETED THE INTERNET LOL kids where still shitting their pants.
...and guess who EU Commission president Barroso had dinner with on January 31:
Gates said he had had dinner with Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso on Friday, and had met several Commissioners at the Davos get-together of the world's business leaders. He plans to meet other Commissioners in Brussels on Tuesday, he said.
I have a 2000W and I don't think it sucks (I have the latest firmware). I have the feeling, however, that the true potential of such a device is not to just connect to your personal WiFi station but to log in from almost everywhere once WiFi has become a commodity. Of course, such widespread availability of WiFi hotspots might not happen anytime soon but the potential is there.
I wasn't aware that we can prove every inch of evolution forward and backward.
A theory is not a theory because it has been proven to "every inch forward and backward". (It would be a fact then).
Rather, what makes a theory is that it is possible to falsify it. A fantasy like the creationist garbage can not be falsified because it relies on fantastic assumptions. It is therefore definitely not a theory.
Debian has a social contract with its users. In this contract Debian promises its users that all software within Debian is free by Debian's terms. More specifically this means that anyone who receives their software has the same rights to the software that Debian as a distributor has.
Even if Debian would fax an agreement to Microsoft and would therefore be allowed to distribute software that potentially infringes on Microsofts Sender-ID patents its users wouldn't be able to further distribute the software without faxing an agreement to Microsoft themselves.
Seeing that they are unable to provide their users with the same freedom that they have to distribute with respect to software implementing Sender-ID Debian must (per its social contract) reject any software that implements Sender-ID.
If that's all a raging critic of Michael Moore and his movies can come up with then Bowling for Columbine stands out as an example of an honest and well-researched documentary. Every wild life documentary has more and more blatant errors.
(Not to mention that most of these claims against the movie have been refuted.)
This is a correct description of Hitler's success in Germany (perhaps minus the industrial killing at Auschwitz, which even many Germans didn't know about. But the German public did at least know about deportation and the Concentration camps).
The countries that would later become the allies, especially Britain, did however employ exactly that defining down stance and didn't stop Hitler early on while they still could.
In most jurisdictions the concept of "lesser of two evils" doesn't include human lives. Murdering one person is not any less evil than murdering two. This prevents a whole lot of cans of worms being opened.
One should also take into account that Linus did all the Kernel work in his free time while working in a day job (last at Transmeta) and has only recently been able to work on Linux full-time.
Bitkeeper usage might just be circumstantial to the percieved productivity gain.
Their lawyers are using simple SCO tactics like "our IP is in their product" they can say it but it does not make it true.
Those tactics are perfectly valid for defending someone in a criminal trial and a lawyer would be stupid not to do this.
In criminal trials the burden of proof is entirely on the side of the prosecutor. If he doesn't like your defense he is free to submit proof to the contrary.
Civil cases, however, both sides have the burdon of proof for the respective claims they make. A lawyer using these tactics in a civil case doesn't gain anything since it is himself who has to provide proof.
The fact that SCO uses these tactics shows that they don't care about the actual outcome of the case (they know they'll lose) but rather want to work with the effects this has outside of the case (e.G. media attention to drive their stock price).
The problem is the perception. People criticise SPEWS for including non-offending ips in their list as being not precise enough with whom they target.
SPEWS, however, doesn't claim to be precise and list only offending ips. Quite the contrary; they openly communicate that the purpose of their list is to include non-offending ips to pressure ISPs to deal with spammers.
You are free to criticise ISPs, which use SPEWS as it is their choice to do so (nobody is forced to use the SPEWS list). Criticising SPEWS is utterly pointless, though, because they do exactly what they advertise.
The key here is that you have to make a positive arrangement with a third party's FTP site. Simply pointing to kernel.org would not suffice. I read your whole post and it implied that it would.

With wireless access becoming more widespread why not drop the GSM part altogether like this product?

hahaha...the profit they have a right to. Stop dreaming of communism, dude.

Did I "get this right"?

Form and content really match nicely in your post. Good work.

The company that folded in 1997 didn't have anything to do with the original Bugatti (save for the name) either.

When referring to Great Britain, you can ignore both Irelands as even Northern Ireland (which belongs to the UK) doesn't belong to Great Britain.
