I'm curious why those two statements are together. Since they go on to say that the machine can be upgraded, it is clear that simply using another operating system on the computer is not in violation of any statues, regardless of whether such a law exists.

Two flavors of make, basically. GNU make and BSD make. If you code using standard make, both will work very well.

Ah, of course. But, this isn't a Linux thing. If it was true then no UNIX operating system could do it.

Yeah...who cares? If you get a NMI you've got more to worry about than the cute error message, dude.

This program does not support a "wheel group" that restricts who can su to super-user accounts, because that can help fascist system administrators hold unwarranted power over other users....apparently it's better for any user to attack the root password than to offer added security. Ignorance of security is a common Linux thread.
First, FreeBSD uses its own version of SU, not GNU. Second, it doesn't say that in the manual. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=su&apropo s=0&manpath=FreeBSD+4.5-stable&format=html

Um, no. vim can use X libraries, but doesn't need to.
* Still no USB support in 2000, after NetBSD and FreeBSD have had it for nearly 2 years. So much for the "million geeks" theory of rapid software development.
Wow. You're so cool. Thanks for telling us that *this* is the first post because otherwise we may have thought that it's the 2^n-1 post, which would be cooler.
Seems pretty weak to me. If humans (by breathing) contributed, on any significant level, to the increase of CO2, then I'd agree that it could be a pun. This, however, is just a lame joke.
Hi all. Just wanted to tell you that today looks like the flow's going to be on the heavy side. Breasts feel rather tender as well, and, of course, there's the bloating.
Gotta go and grab some more pads. Remember, guys, * with wings are a girl's best friend.
Thank you for your comments. However, we must explain that you are wrong. Being Jewish is as much a ethnicity as a religion. Take the "Jewish" state of Israel as an example. If he were to say that all Baptists must be killed and said that was racist, then you would be correct, of course.
Go back to your cowardice ways, lame AC, and try to think before accusing a wise Troll of being a "dumbass".

Yeah! How dare they! But, they've been found guilty. Horray!! Now, for a penalty I say we send 'em all to the chair. Fry the bastards and show the world that we won't let giant corporations with billions of dollars push us around!
No no. It's not we don't understand. It's because Linux blows big chunks of something nasty. Seriously. It's like RMS went out for a big bowl of split-pea soup, candy bars, and chugged a bunch of beer, then threw it all back up.
Rather nasty looking, eh? So, in conclusion. Windows sucks, Linux blows chunks.
First, I don't believe he's completely gone yet because, as you said, he's still sleeping.
As far as the other part goes, I suggest you just ignore him. Perhaps, using the very informative text contained in the first post of this article, you could go down on your girlfriend. I'd make sure he could see you two out of the corner of his eye, and ask her to be very vocal, even if she's not usually. At the very least it will make him turn for a moment, and, hopefully, he'll become so embarassed that he'll decide that even EQ isn't worth it and leave.
An alternate way to solve your problem is to get out of the closet, sort of. Approach him and tell him how wrong you feel with girls and how impressed you are with his EQ character. That every night you stay up pining for him, gently stroking your member until you fall asleep.
That might scare him away. Of course, you might find out he's gay or swings both ways too. So it's a bit more risky, but anyway.
Of course not. Anyone can run a jpg through an ascii converter. However, this fine person thought of doing it, and claimed a wonderful first post with it.
You argue that you don't want to post because you're logged into an "account that [you] don't want to lose karma on". However, I would counter by asking what you have to lose if your post is, in fact, moderated down? If you get a ton of karma are you going to make it to nirvana? Not with karma from this site, your not.
That's the point of the lameness of AC postings. If you're worried about karma, you really should go and get a real life.

Insightful my ass. It's USA PATRIOT because it looks better, dumbass.

You are quite good at that. Bravo.
That sounds like a wonderful idea. However, I'd like to add an amendment that...
UNIX is an adjetive, just for the record. =)
Here's a short list of Linux flaws that make it look silly:
