Well, the answer to the question the dichotomy represents is that those with conservationist interests observe a caste system with regard to humans. Naturalists, conservationists, environmentalists, et. al., are allowed anywhere, even to use SUVs to get there. You and I, however, are forbidden.
Section 310.6 in the original rule has a page or so of exception clauses, and they are cross-referencing and unclear, but charitible organizations such as religions and your local FoP chapter will be exempt. If these exceptions are anything like the exceptions in my state's do-not-call list, signing up will just put you in EVERYONE's marketing database.
"Yes, thank you very much. The news is just starting to hit. Yes, it looks good so far. Well, it will take some work, but they'll look to settle the case after they lose about 80% of their market capitalization. Expect the usual donation, and good luck with the finding WMD thing."
We know the oil supply is diminishing, and we will have to rely on either hydro or wind power within the next decade if we want to be able to go outside without suits to protect us from the thinning ozone layer.
I'm not sure I follow your trail of environmental catastrophe. Unless, of course, your air conditioner is a HELL of lot more efficient than mine.
I'm a little confused about what you mean. Perhaps you could expand on your comparison as it relates to your suggested change.
I think we agree that "The Free World" is not what it was represented to us in school, and that the modern iteration of American government is not only not free, but has of late become repressive. I'm not entirely sure I share your ideas about Democracy, but I think that the only remarkable thing about the U.S. government (as originally designed) was not who did the governing, but how limited that government was supposed to be. The problem with democracy is that without those limitations, democracy itself is an illusion. As is perhaps the case will all forms of government.
Nigerian scammers are fun. I had one convinced that I had to go to Mos Eisley (a local town named after a Confederate general) to sell my speeder (a small vehicle used for farming) to raise the funds for the transaction. (We don't have a bank account. My father, Anakin, lived through the Depression and doesn't trust banks).
I told him that I was laughed out of the Western Union office for trying to wire money to "Bank Attorney" (he gave me no address or other info), and that I had to spend some of the money buying a ride home from a couple of greasy dudes driving around in a 1976 Millenium Falcon pickup truck. He sent me his name and address. I told him that the Western Union ticket couldn't be changed and that I needed him to send me $3 so that I could redeem the ticket and send him the full sum. I gave him a few weeks to see if he would actually wire me $3, but when he didn't, I gave his name to the FBI, state department, and Nigerian authorities.
...twin prime conjecture will ever be proved using this method, but there's still a pretty reasonable chance that the proof will result in something along the lines that there are infinitely many pairs of consecutive primes that differ only by x,...
My impression was that it was a lightweight RSA based mesh-VPN thing. The only people I can think of who wouldn't want this around are corporate networks. It would allow a small group of disparate employees to communicate with relative security.
I didn't think it was too important at the time, but, of course, if it's caused this much excitement, I'm taking a second look!
And add to that my mutella node. Do a gnutella search for "waste". We need more people to pick this up and run with it. Any freenetters out there that can throw it up on freenet? Probably gnunet, too.
How about a borg sphere. Smaller than the borg cube, but still deadly.
I think this one gets my vote. I was really torn about the Suliban head, tho. My thinking was one of those really gross eye-popping monsters from Courage the Cowardly Dog. I think the humpback red-eyed rat would be great for this.
(Seriously. A modified PC is more flexible, but it isn't going to beat custom hardware of the same generation. In a few years, though...)
I'm confused. Most of (Cisco/Nortel/Alteon etc. etc. etc.)'s shit is modified PCs, and those whose kernels are not based on Linux are based on BSD.
I started working recently with the packet shaping options in Linux. A modern Linux box can shape easily at line rate on a 100 mbps LAN. You have to get into carrier class routers to do that in "hardware". And the flexibility of Linux's filter technology puts it in a different universe of practicality as more networks are implementing QoS to deal with VOIP.
Since minor changes in configuration can actually cause a reversal of QoS effect under certain circumstances, and because VOIP is damn near impossible to get right anyway, this flexibility will be a life saver for anyone actually implementing QoS/shaping.
I'll look for this to become more mature before considering it for my customers, but it is difficult to overstate the significance of this advance in Linux technology. Way to go, guys!
Not such a big help for a home user but great for corporations.
Well, I packet shape like a son of a bitch on my home network. (it lets me pump out gigs of mutella traffic while still getting speedy response to ssh) But, let me cite a few more conventional uses for this in the home:
Is there any way to change the caldera story icon to something like a zombie hand or rotten fish head or something? I don't think they deserve to be recognized by their official corporate symbol anymore. If Microsoft rates a borg photoshop, Caldera certainly should get something more exemplary of their character and bearing.
So let me get this straight. I can sit in my home, with a DVD I purchased in full, and by the act of playing that DVD on my Linux computer, I have forcibly invaded the private premises of the media industry and stolen their property?
We've known for years that words like piracy and theft are intended to have an emotional effect, (unless, of course, groups of Scandanavian teenagers are storming container ships on the open sea and stealing DVDs) but burglary?!
The only support for the application of the concept of burglary is phrases such as "hacking into mechanisms to protect trade secrets". Does this indicate that the man who may one day be governor of California believes that a copy of a DVD is to be considered the private property and premises of the MPAA?! And what trade secret is violated by skipping the forced commercials at the beginning of the video? It is shocking that someone would walk into a courtroom and have the gall to suggest that a DVD in my own home represents homestead rights and privileges of the MPAA! Regardless of the outcome, I have to wonder about a world where someone would even attempt to make a point so utterly devoid of reason.
Can somebody please tell me that he is just being stupid? Please, someone post something about attributing to evil that which can be explained by incompetence. I really need something like that to get me through the day.
I thought this site is supposed to be about the promotion of open source software, and educating the public on its benefits over closed source commercial software.
Uh, no. It's news for nerds. RTFWS
I thought I would come to this site finding compelling information that would convince me to switch to open source software.
Oh, I am aquiver at the very thought of proselytizing you!
Instead, we rarely see anything but attacks on the competition, and hypocritical attacks at that.
Dude, I see everything around here. Including some stuff I wish I hadn't seen.
Seldom have I read anything here that suggests why I should consider using open source software.
Would you like some tea?
I am dubious of anyone who favors relentless attacks on the competition over honest self-promotion.
I am a changed man. Here i was, all this time, dubious of Microsoft for all the wrong reasons. But if their honest self-promotion was enough to win you over, then certainly, it is enough to change my life. Do I get to fly around now?
Microsoft is a long way from its ultimate goal where users can take security for granted in its products
Oh, yeah - that dude is so fired. This is sort of like that moment during the 98 demo that the scanner blue screened the computer while Bill Gates himself was doing a presentation. He had the gall to say "I guess that's why it hasn't been released yet."
I couldn't get over the feeling of how surreal it was to imagine Bill Gates having a single thought about product quality, much less expressing that thought in words.
As humorous and ironic as it would be for Linux to buy out SCO, (I wonder if Novell would then decide to give the UNIX copyright to them(us) - ha!) the much more likely and short term problems with that plan are that we would increase SCO's stock price. Their execs cash out on the upturn, and we are stuck with a turd. Until the next dying company comes along and grabs the open source community by the balls.
If it's not worth it for IBM to buy them out to shut them up, it sure as hell isn't worth it to me.

1. - We must preserve these lands for future generations (of humans).
2. - Humans aren't allowed in these lands. Humans should stay in concrete boxes, close to the center of urban areas. Any other behavior is sprawl.

This was my inspiration. I consider it a masterpiece.
