It pains me to defend the church, really it does. But contrary to popular opinion, you don't need sex to survive. If you believe contraception is immoral, then don't stick it in. Pretty simple actually.
It would be a perfect strategy to divide and fracture the open source world.
It would be.. Except it's been happening for 20 years, and the arguing doesn't harm anything. Competition is a good thing, especially in the free software world.
There's no point in collecting energy on the moon if the total amount is no more than what you can collect with a solar panel on the roof yourself right here on earth.
That would be true, except the total amount wouldn't be the same. Here on Earth the light is filtered by our atmosphere. The moon has little to no atmosphere.
Hopefully some day we can just build one big fucker of a solar plant on the moon and send it back to Earth with microwaves 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Why, if this information is available, doesn't the "emerge" pull that info in instead of forcing the user to do it?
In my house I have 4 PC's. One operating system that they all boot. There is one Athlon64, one Athlon Tbird, one Intel PIII, and one K6-2. Which one would it choose for me that is compatible with all of them? i686 is what I'm using, and it works well.
I like the restaurant analogy. With Debian if you want to install something that isn't in the repository, they'll tell you "Sorry we don't make that here". At restaurant Gentoo I can give them a 10 line ebuild that I've modified from another one, and they'll give me any package that I want.
What Gentoo could really use is a P2P distribution based on bittorrent, where I can publish my public key, and others can fetch prebuilt packages that I have compiled. We wouldn't need any mirrors at all. Just a method of deciding who is trustworthy enough to submit packages. Chances are someone has already compiled every package with my selection of USE flags.
When are we going to get to see Darl McBride's head on the end of a stick?
Let's not forget Blake Stowell. He may have jumped ship a while ago, but he was very very involved at the beginning. One of my favourites is where he claimed SCO "owned" C++.
If he's guilty of fraud, then he's also guilty of extortion
Making a threat of violence or a lawsuit which refers to a requirement of a payment of money or property to halt future violence or lawsuit is sufficient to commit the offense. The four simple words "pay up or else" are sufficient to constitute the crime of extortion.
FF on XP does a pretty good job of integrating into the OS
When you click a link in an MSN conversation, it opens in IE regardless of what your preferred browser setting is. Most people that I know begin their web browsing by clicking on the MSN link to open Hotmail, and they get IE. When that changes those numbers will look better. I'm afraid it will take a court ruling to change that though.
Why go to iceland when there is New Zealand which already has working and commercially viable geothermal generation.
Why go to Iceland, or New Zealand when you can go to Newfoundland and get pissed instead? Who needs to worry about electricity anyway, Alberta will take care of us.
The thing to keep in mind is, the internet is much more important than popular music. The music industry as it is today could suffer a horrible, painful death and we would still be better off than before the internet came around. Music was around long before "the industry", and it'll be around long after.
I didn't hear anybody else pushing for binding arbitration during the U.S./Canada free trade agreement all those years ago. It was a hell of a good idea too, and would have saved us billions of dollars in the softwood lumber issue alone. Mulroney told us we should trust the American court system to straighten those things out.
The problem is Canadian politicians are selling out to the highest bidder,
The Conservative party has a long history of selling out to the Americans. It shouldn't surprise anybody anymore. Just expect it when you cast your ballot for them.
I can testify that the kiddie porn is nowhere some curious kid is at all likely to find it, or adult is at all likely to stumble on by mistake - which is to say I've no idea where it is because obviously those who trade it are well aware they need to hide and keep their groups small.
Don't spend much time with Usenet do you? It's not hidden at all. It's cross-posted to groups that aren't porn. It's certainly not any reason to set up the great firewall of America though.
Like your level-headed government is such a reasonable and level-headed group to deal with. I think we all saw that during (and still) the Hurricane Katrina...Where's the rebuilding projects?
Sorry, we're busy destroying the middle east. We'll rebuild in 2010.
But you might consider doing a little legitimate scientific research about these issues before you mouth off.
Before I mouth off? GM foods aren't actually the products they are labeled as being. There should be some way that the consumer can determine which are the foods that occur in nature and which were created in a laboratory.
That is what I am mouthing off about. You've said nothing to convince me otherwise. You just keep insulting me and spouting rhetoric about safety protocols.

Why couldn't you put the collectors scattered across the surface? The transmitter would always be facing Earth.
Have you ever lived in an area with a booming oil industry? Hellish would also be accurate.

Especially when the company seems so confused about what exactly their assets even are.

No, it's racism if you believe there *are* different races of people. There is only one, it's called "Human".

Movies and TV. The speed of bittorrent, with the convenience of Edonkey. It's wonderful.

Oh really?? That's news to me
Wow. That's pretty good considering "Hydro Canada" doesn't even exist. Hydro is a provincial resource, not a federal one.
We've also got plenty of hydroelectric power to sell you.
Your's truly
Canada
