That last sentence struck me oddly. I couldn't figure out why for a few seconds, but then I realized that we have a system of innocent until proven guilty built into our law code. Why should these people have to prove that they had good intentions instead of the plaintiff proving that they had malicious ones?
Nice! I've independently come up with pretty much the same setup here --- only I set Scroll Lock to Super_L so I have another set of modifier keys. The one frustrating thing about the old IBM keyboards is that they don't have many extraneous keys.This is why I'll never buy a Happy Hacking keyboard, and why I've been tempted to buy one of those "Web keyboards" --- not because I need buttons for web sites, but because I'd effectively have 24 function keys!
Me too! People are amazed at my typing speed, but I've never taken a typing class. I use the same method you do --- allowing my fingers to hover roughly over the center of the keyboard and bringing them down whenever I need to type something. I type about 120 WPM.
I share your feelings about natural keyboards. I have a model M (the clicky ones) IBM keyboard, and it's the best typing device I've ever had.
Uhm, no --- the death star, unlike a moon of similar size, is mostly EMPTY SPACE. Since gravity depends on mass and not volume, the gravity of the death star would still be far weaker than even a quarter-scale moon.
Opera doesn't support some standards. Everything involving modifying the page after it has been loaded (e.g., with Javascript access to the DOM) is unsupported. DHTML simply does not work with Opera. I suspect this has something to do with the methods they use (whatever they may be) to achieve their high rendering speeds.
Anyway, this page is fully standards compliant and works with IE >= 5.0 and Gecko, yet Opera barfs on it.
Agreed. Cablevision seems to be more enlightened than the rest, though, and the bandwidth they offer _is_ significantly higher than most other cablemodem ISPs. I wouldn't start complaining about them just yet.
"There has grown up in the minds of certain groups in this country the notion that because a man or a corporation has made a profit out of the public for a number of years , the government and the courts are charged with the duty of guaranteeing such profit in the future, even in the face of changing circumstances and contrary public interest. This strange doctrine is not supported by statute nor common law. Neither individuals nor corporations have any right to come into court and ask that the clock of history be stopped,or turned back, for their private benefit. That is all."
Yeah, but they can't block by regexp, which is a problem for many sites that serve images from the same servers they serve ads from. Not to mention that a hosts file can't serve up a transparen 1x1 GIF instead of the ad. Hosts files will just make the browser display a broken link images.
This chunk of code works just fine for me, in gcc 3.0.2. The problems have already been addressed. 2.95's STL did slightly suck, but 3.0.2's is fine --- not that 2.95's was even unusably bad.
I still have one of the old Aureal Vortex2 cards, which has (in part) a binary-only driver module. Could this be modified to work inside the ALSA framework in 2.6?
Because intellectual property isn't. You can't own something abstrat, only goods. Copyright is a bargain between the government and the people. On the people's side, the government grants a limited monopoly on a particular idea so that the inventors/artists/etc. have a chance to profit from it. This is to promote people to do such things in the first place. On the other hand, on the government's side, the monopoly expires so that all of humanity can eventually enjoy a work.
Intellectual property is not a natural right. It's an artificial one that merely provides incentive. Once a reasonable period of time has elapsed, it should belong to the people. Personally, I favor copyright terms of life or 20 years, whichever is shorter. The number of cases of an author producing (to use the above example) the great American novel and it not being recognized are far fewer than the number of cases where humanity would benefit from works being placed in the public domain.
The last free dictionary is from 1913! It's still pretty good, but the only reason we don't have a more modern one is due to copyright law. I don't think publishing companies would lose anything from 20 year old dictionaries being available freely from gutenberg, but the people would gain a great deal.
Ahem. I use optonline --- 1megabit upstream cap, eight times that of AT&T's. It's not saturated, despite it taking only six users per segment to sature the upstream. AT&T's cap is only 128k a second, so therefore, it's rediculous to think it's a technical issue. They are just money-grubbing.
X on localhost uses unix domain sockets, not TCP/IP. They're must faster, and they've been hand-=optimized by Linus himself. They're _very_ fast. You wouldn't get any faster without putting X functions as kernel system calls (like NT does) with the consequences (NT's stability).
Actually, we don't. We should use them, but they shouldn't be required for normal operation. This is how it works under unix. Under Windows, quite a few programs _require_ a specific extension. An extension should be treater as nothing more than a part of the name.
Operating systems should use mime types and/or magic bytes in the file to determine its type. Also, file association should be a bit more like Gnome's (but easier and more intuitive).
I recently had a Quantum Bigfoot fail on me with _exactly_ the same symptoms as described in the links --- the occasional click, the linux kernel DrivReadySeekComplete (or something like that) errors, and then the constant-clicking-and-not-booting thing.
Masood's forces and the Northern Alliance members committed numerous, serious abuses. Masood's forces continued sporadic rocket attacks against Kabul. Anti-Taliban forces bombarded civilians indiscriminately. Various factors infringed on citizens' privacy rights. Armed units of the Northern Alliance, local commanders, and rogue individuals were responsible for political killings, abductions, kidnapings for ransom, torture, rape, arbitrary detention, and looting.

Hrm. Andale Mono looks good, but is there a way to generate bold and italic versions of it? I'd love to use it!

New packages for LaTeX still come out from time to time.

QED.
Limewire is GPLed. Is this not a reason to fork the damn thing, or at least maintain a set of patches (and of binaries compiled with these patches)?
Huh? What proof by Godel?

You also forget the whole Emacs vs. XEmacs split.
Extensive industry experience, I'd imagine.

So did we, in Vietnam.
This would be good for broadband, actually. Broadband equipment would be light, I suspect, and the latency would be less than 5ms.
