The chip + RFID goes in your brain - you need to hold one of the MPAA's special decoders next to your head while you watch. That way they can make sure you're watching the ads as well. Better yet, the installation (which will eventually be a legal requirement) takes only a few minutes and and should cost less than a hundred bucks!
Best Overall: GTA: San Andreas (Say what you will, but what other game combines action, stealth, racing, rhythm, basketball, arcade games, and even a dating sim into a huge, open world? Combine with a great plot and RPG elements, and you have what is perhaps, to date, the ULTIMATE game.)
Apparently Duke Nukem Forever will have all of those - they've delayed it a bit to get the dating sim just right.
If you want to do serious mathematical modelling, for example, you have a pretty limited selection of languages available. Most of them start with "C". Most of the others start with "M" and are written in languages starting with "C".
Actually I'd say Fortran90 is probably a better language for serious numerical computing than the languages you described: it handles array computations natively and parallelizes well.
Since middle-click also is open-link-in-new-tab, and it happens to be the scroll wheel as well, I pretty much don't take my index finger of the mouse wheel when I use the net anymore.
Yes it has. Evolution is no longer just a theory, it's an observation: we've observed it happen in both artificial and natural systems. It is now on a firmer footing than most if not all physical 'theories' bar the second law of thermodynamics.
How about this time we wait to see some genuine evidence presented before we congratulate people for stopping a 'plot'. Because recently we've seen people arrested and even shot dead on the basis of bogus evidence.
Presumably he's referring to the GPL's requirement to distribute the source for any binaries which use or include GPL'ed code. In other words, he wants to use the code without abiding by the licence.
Either that or he genuinely doesn't know how to distribute a binary. In which case, thanks pal, perhaps we'll wait until you've learned how to use your computer before we try your code.
pine is great but I'm tired of having to build it

simply because their license won't allow it to be distributed as a binary in any free distribution. So I'm trying mutt instead for a while.. it looks like it finally supports IMAP properly.
Just like your GNU/Linux operating system comes with a licence associated with it, defined in the accompanying documentation and here online. Doesn't need a physical embodiment.
If someone in R&D can't figure out the correct tool for that job then I wouldn't trust the results of their work. If they don't have a copy of Matlab, they can use Scilab, R, Octave, SciPy, or any of a number of free and powerful tools.
I know the syndrome: I work with a bunch of mechanical engineers and they cling to Excel like a comfort blanket because they'd rather use something they know, even if it involves tons of laborious mouse clicking for operations (like plotting graphs) that are repeated over and over again.
gosh, so you say emacs is better than vi?

Vim 7 Released

You ought to raise that issue more widely - maybe post it on USENET. A lot of vi users might not have considered that before. Your explanation of why emacs is great and vi sucks is really clear, and should certainly settle the matter.
The login banner for the official release of Breezy displays 'Breezy Badger' as the name of the operating system, which would suggest the names are more than just development codenames. Or has that changed in Dapper?
Firstly, they're both metaphorical uses, and secondly, the beauraucratic association comes from the old practice (in England) of binding legal documents with red tape, not from the cutting of tape at the opening a new site or building.
Cutting through red tape means having to make a big issue to be able to enter somewhere (as in cutting the red tape across the street of a new bridge).
Is that a German idiom as well? I'm certainly not familiar with it in English, where 'red tape' is always used to refer to bureaucratic requirements which are considered burdensome by the user. (It's frequently used by company directors and managers wanting tax concessions, or complaining about things like human rights legislation or health & safety requirements..)

Sounds to me like he's still down there.

which leaves your other hand free I guess...
So the only benefit of this feature is that I get to lose a third of my screen width for tab names when I have 7 or 8 tabs open (i.e. all the time).
I think those MicroVAXes we had in the basement were dumped years ago.

Administrate is a perfectly legitimate word and is used correctly here in the sense of 'act as administrator'.

You must be thinking of this kind of person. This is what my bedroom looks like.. doesn't yours?
You could argue that the 'Internet' includes machines connected only by modem as well as those attached to network gateways.
The idiots are the people who pay any attention to these timewasters. Let them try and bring lawsuits if they want to.

No it isn't
Try this well known reference site; you might find it useful in future.

if it's a study into how far ID has got in educational and academic institutions then I reckon it's worth it.
