Amusingly, in GoboLinux you can nuke a program with a single rm -rf since everything is under the/Programs entry, while in other distros you must rely on the package manager (or essentially manage packages by hand yourself).
This link is a bit outdated (for instance, we don't tweak the root user for years now), but I've already responded to some criticism of this kind back in 2004: http://gobolinux.org/doc/artic...
Hah, it had to be circletimessquare -- oh how I miss Kuro5hin and this kind of out-of-the-box thinking that used to come up there so often from you and the rest of the people. Too bad the place was filled with trolls to the point of unusability the last few times I tried to return.
Those of us in the rest of the world, who have been suffering being the weaker part in the worldwide marketplace game, we've been paying attention for much longer than two years.
You are merely being compensated for your expenditure of time and energy, not gouging someone.
I see your point (and I agree with Sloppy's point above) but, to nitpick, compensation of time and energy is gross profit (which even not-for-profit companies have to have, in order to remain operational, unless they're funded by a third party). The grandparent post was explicitly talking about net profit, which is what remains after all costs are compensated.
How did people mod this down as troll? The parent expressed a valid opinion. It may be diametrically opposed to your core values, or even the core values your country is based on, but it's a valid, clearly-stated opinion. Don't use "Troll" as a synonym for "Disagree".
Do I keep his jet-powered wings? Are they useful for beating other bosses or is he too hard and I should get some other weapons first? Do you guys think I should defeat him before or after Cutman?
And apparently your sense of humor too. I commend his choice from the array of options given by the disambiguation page, which has obviously been his (and your) first stop. He definitely picked the funniest one.;)
You can. I don't remember the specifics, but IIRC if over 50% of voters vote "blank" (or invalid number, which we call "null vote") the elections are recalled and are rescheduled with different candidates.
That tag caught my attention: "thievesandliars"... is that:
a) a common English expression? b) a reference to the Ministry song? c) a reference to something else, which Ministry referenced?
Google did not give much info (a bunch of references to bands, movies and books with that name, but all of them more recent than the Ministry song from the late 1980s).
Not to mention the "causes still being debated" link is from 2003. The scientific community has since reached a consensus, and we know what it is. And it's certainly not "Are global warming experts just short-sighted alarmists? Are we heading for a global ice age?" like the poster listed as his first hypotheses...
Interesting to see the big players noticing the possibilities in the lower end markets. In the so-called third world we often get expensive products that were designed for rich markets that don't even fit our needs (eg, videogames with network support when the actual services are not offered in our country). Hopefully we'll see more companies designing different products for different economic realities, instead of just dumping 5-year old designs here once they get "cheap enough for the third world".
No, because it would return only the contents of the comments, usually in a format more suitable for straight reading (ie, a.tex file ready to be compiled into a book).

we do use unionfs (more specifically, overlayfs) combined with per-process mount tables (like containers do).

Yeah, things have really gone downhill since CmdrTaco left!...
I guess you didn't get the joke about Columbus and Eriksson.
Hint: the A in ASCII stands for a land discovered by Leif Eriksson.
Best rendering so far!
Others focused in removing the crossing edges, which is an improvement, but this arrangement makes it easy to see who is suing and who is being sued.
Thank you!

Come on people, we're no Thought Police here.
Yeah, that must be it. Transformational change -- not to be confused with metamorphic change, or modificational change.
...it would mean "Google Chrome Now Officially Not Free Software".
Fortunately, it isn't.

It's been a while since anything made me laugh in /. :)
Your wikifu is weak young one.

A misuse of the term "ironic" and no one has mentioned Alanis Morissette yet? Where is this world heading to?
Never heard of either before. Looks like there's a competition going on to see who comes up with the next buzzword.

Well, that's what the first A in AJAX stands for, after all.

Well, I can only hope your wife is really pretty.
You did, but I like the sense of immagination. Maybe you should take on writing. =)
