Read the Pricewatch writeups more closely. It looks to me like they're getting crapflooded. I don't think "oh lawdy what a poop that was - i nearly split me toilet in half!" tells me much useful information about the vendor.
There's this service provided by airlines called "baggage handling".
Is that what they call it? I thought it was called "wearing the same clothes for the first three days of your trip while the airline tries to find your suitcase".
And I'll take abandoned open source software over abandoned commercial software any day. Copyright law allows a company (usually bought out by a competitor) to terminate a commercial software product, no matter how badly you need and are willing to pay for upgrades. If the Apache group, on the other hand, disbands tomorrow and tells the world to go to hell, any company is free to hire their own programmers to pick up the pieces.
In some ways, open source is a lot more capitalist than proprietary software.
Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery.
Under Clinton/Gore/Reno, the prison population of the United States DOUBLED, primarily due to nonviolent drug offenders.
Government should relax regulation of Big Business and Big Money but crack down on individuals who use marijuana to relieve the pain of illness.
In 1996, California legalized medical marijuana. That didn't stop the Clinton administration from using federal officers to shut down cannabis buyers' clubs for terminally ill patients in San Francisco.
"Standing Tall for America" means firing your workers and moving their jobs to India.
Funny, I thought that was what Wesley Clark said at the Democratic debate the other night. "Let India write the software."
Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton.
Yeah, damn that evil Republican President who signed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996! Oh, wait....
HMOs and insurance companies have the interest of the public at heart.
It sure was impressive how the Democrats filibustered that corporate-welfare-laden Medicare bill this week. Oh, wait....
Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism.
Go look up the Democrats' voting records on all the Iraq war and spending resolutions. Great opposition party you've got there.
Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but creationism should be taught in schools.
I'd like a link to a mainstream Republican who has publicly stated that creationism should be taught in schools.
Saddam was.... a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion.
"In light of the U.S. military strike against Iraq, House Republicans agreed Wednesday to a short delay in the debate and vote on whether to impeach President Bill Clinton...."
Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet.
Those are both laws signed by Bill Clinton. I'm not sure what you think they prove about Republicans.
I read somewhere that that's the guy from Animatrix who was an angsty teenager in the Matrix until agents chased him out a window. If that's so, it makes him a little more interesting. In fact, his back story is short enough that they could have filmed it and stuck it into Reloaded or Revolutions, improving the series as a whole.
Though I seem to recall that you can actually finish GTA games with a minimum of theft/violence.
Not really. One of the pivotal missions in GTA3 involves killing one of your friends while posing as a member of a rival gang, in order to start a war. One member of said rival gang ends up getting tortured in extremely gruesome ways, while desperately pleading his innocence.
It would essentially kill linux and all free software - it would be illegal to distribute software code without complying with some set of regulations. One regulation might be certified security testing - which of course costs money. How many open source companies can afford to spend $10-100k per release for testing?
And even if some subset of the Linux kernel team got together to certify individual releases, whenever I played around with the TCP/IP stack to learn how it works, I'd be breaking the law.

Here's how it works.
1. When the government provides it for free, the marginal cost to the consumer becomes zero. Therefore, people consume more than they otherwise would. If your gas were free, you'd drive more.
2. As people consume more, demand exceeds supply, and prices increase.
3. Government responds to this problem in one of two ways:
a. Paying the higher and higher prices. Everyone pays more, but since the amount they pay is only affected negligibly by how much they consume, this is no incentive for them to consume less. The costs to taxpayers overwhelmingly exceed what taxpayers were told it would cost.
b. Imposing price controls, and rationing the remaining supply. Get ready to wait in line.
4. Rich people go to other countries for medical treatments the government won't approve.
The really sad thing is that I'm still probably going to vote for Dean.
Or maybe, JUST FUCKING MAYBE, the majority of all break-ins result from weak passwords and inside jobs, and therefore weak passwords and inside jobs constitute the most likely explanations.
meaning that my network is full of people that have no real connection to me
Exactly. I'm happy to see this article, because just yesterday I realized that I'm connected to thousands of people through a user called "Feminism". So now when I see a new person, I have to check to see whether I really have a connection to them, or whether our connection is just some BS like a sitcom character.
Friendster allows you to search your network by common interests, so creating these fake users is unnecessary.
The courts aren't going to say anything in this case. Nobody's suing anyone. The only reason anyone is upset is because the owners of PGE Ballpark are "squeamish" about the wording of the Personal Telco Project's press release.
Should I assume that you don't consume any products or services from overseas to save money? Every article of clothing on your body was made in your country, as was every electronic appliance in your home? If so, I admire you for having the courage of your convictions. But if not....
How dare you benefit from the infrastructure here while offshoring the manufacture of your clothes and appliances!? Why should you get a free ride when the people who make those things for you no longer pay US taxes or pay into Social Security?!
I'm not an expert on Apache, but here's my experience.
The Apache installation that comes with Debian, BY DEFAULT runs any script in ~jsmith/public_html/cgi-bin as user jsmith. Whether this is suexec or cgiwrap I don't know - like so much of Debian, it Just Works (TM).
So back when I was using Movable Type, I created a user named mt and put all the cgi in mt's cgi-bin. Only the mt user needed write permissions here. Then I added the line "Alias //home/mt/public_html" to httpd.conf.
This meant that all the MT-generated HTML was in pretty URLs off the root directory, and the only ugly URLs were CGI URLs, which users shouldn't have to bookmark or ever remember.
Well said. The EFF doesn't want the government to interfere with how Lexmark does business. They just want the government to STOP interfering with how the cartridge companies do business.
Libertarians and other supporters of free enterprise should be with the EFF and the cartridge companies on this case.
