What annoys me about these open-source fanatics, is that they have to force their beliefs on to other people. And just because they want everything open source, everyone else should hear about it.
This is not about "Linux is cool!", this is about avoiding security through obscurity, and making sure security related code is solid. If this was a march to try to get the government to mandate open source office software or something like that, I would agree with you, but I am all for security related code needing to be open source.
Um, crossing the road IS illegal in some places, usually where it is dangerous. Try running back and forth across a highway a few times, and see how the police react.
To your other point, dangerous becomes illegal when it begins to threaten others or their property. Simple as that.
Wow, that's not going to be confusing to consumers at all! That's like selling two incompatible fuels, one called "gasoline" and one called "gasaline". Couldn't they have at least picked a better name difference than "DVD+R" and "DVD-R"?
Whether P2P hurts or helps their sales is highly irrelevant in the end. Even if it caused large boosts to their sales, they'd still try to shut it down, because it is not a meduim they control, whereas radio, music outlets and entertainment venues are mediums they fully control. Control is much, much, MUCH more important than money in the long run.
Also, searching through RPMfind is scary stuff for non-techies. (RPMfind is a great tool, but it is geared towards people who know what they want/need). Let's see.. on Windows, all you need to do is double click 'setup' and hit next a bunch. It almost never matters what version of windows you are running, because most programs will run on all of them. On Linux, you need to know what distribution you have, what version of the distribution you have, and then find a site that has the software you want. Then, you need to fill in any dependancies you are missing. Etc. etc... Usually not a pain for people who know what they are doing, but casual users wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. Personally, I think what is needed is a graphical front-end to apt-get, with easy searching/browsing, and being able to toggle the display of things like system utilities/libraries/etc. Then, there is no need to know anything about what your computer is running at all, a user can just select the software they want, and press 'install'
Um.. limits still apply. (lim y -> 0+) 1/y = infinity. But that does NOT mean 1/0 = infinity. Because (lim y -> 0-) 1/y = -infinity, and infinity cannot equal -infinity. It is undefined, like parent post to yours said.
Another way to look at it... 0 = 0.. 0 * 1 = 0.. 0 * 2 = 0.. 0 * 3 = 0.. no matter how large a number it is, the result will still be 0.. so you can't hope to multiply 0 by infinity and get 26,000,000
Sorry that is too expensive of a solution. Her husband is only willing to buy radio shack parts for under 10$ to prevent his wife from dying.
Ever consider the medical bills? I doubt they are swimming in money. Not to mention dealing with the insurance companies (conveniently losing paperwork, denying coverage for surgery until the last possible second, and even then only granting it to prevent a lawsuit.. denying coverage for medication you are covered for.. mine has done all this to me, and more). Oh, and then you need to have a job on top of all that. It is amazingly callous of you to assume they can afford to spend money on a commercial solution when that same money might need to go towards food or medical care. Next time, maybe stop and actually think of what they might be going through, before you assume things like that.
If at all possible, I would try not to have any modulation. Much better to have false positives than to introduce a potential failing point into the system.

Hey, I see some marketing potential here...

Ah, but 1 is not considered prime, so the prime factorization of a prime number is just itself. ;)

It. Was. A. Joke.
And he got the main idea of his code across, a main function would have just taken up space. Whereas your fictional code doesn't really mean anything.
I dunno how many integers factor into YOUR primes, man.. but mine.. :)

I don't suppose I could enter myself in the contest..
Linux on a dishwasher? ...hey, that's not a bad idea..
Why does buying an XBox make me "Bill's bitch"? Does installing Linux make me "Linus' bitch"? Does getting a Mac make me "Steve's bitch"?

I've actually only played it like four times, and that was a few years ago. :)
Maybe because they don't exist? He was referring to the game Command & Conquer.
Two words: dependancy hell.

Sweet. =) Thanks!
any little thing the guy posted would instantly get modded up to +5 by starstruck moderators.
That so..
Please. He got modded up because a lot of us found it funny.
So what movies would you want to see on IMAX?
The Lion King.
And before we get the posts about "Does it run Linux?":
;)
Stock x86 PC running Debian GNU/Linux with RTAI real- time system.
Shadow's own GPL'd robot code will be shipped, permitting initial setup and evaluations. PC will have CAN interface provided.
So there you go.

Sometimes I feel like they get headline ideas out of that random Slashdot headline generator I found once..
In the article, there is a link to that.
Um, if you don't like nerdy stuff.. I hate to break it to you, but this might not be the place for you. :)
