Indeed, where is the drive to get more men into child care, social service, nursing, waiting tables, airline stewards, house cleaning (domestic and commercial levels)... and any number of jobs traditionally considered "womens work"? What organization of men, run by men, financed by men is promoting this? Is there one? None? If not what are you doing about it other than complaining? If you are a man is there any job you can think of that is traditionally "womens work" that you would like to do instead of the one you have now? If not why not?
If you figure in the amounts given in foreign aid (military and development) as well as loans that are simply "forgiven" each year which amounts to $15-$20 billion in total each year. Directly it is $3.11 billion (and increasing) per year. In other words... $10 billion (give or take a few) of its total accumulated debt is chicken feed in the grand scheme of things.
and pretty much like the default Gnome desktop on Fedora 16, which is actually kind of annoying. Been playing with it for three months and I still find it awkward.
I often hear about the "failure" of 'Year-of-Linux-on-the-Desktop'... But I never hear the question asked: 'What was the year of Windows on the desktop?' and 'Why was Windows on the desktop successful?' and 'How did this happen?'. This leads to how does one define success or failure of an OS 'on the Desktop?'.
There was the patched bullet. A.50 cal muzzle loading long rifle could be produced with nominal accuracy on bore diameter. The bullets were cast slightly smaller. Then the bullets were patched with cloth or paper. This was about the only practical way to load a muzzle loading rifle and get the rifling to actually work. They still required more work and time to ram the bullet towards the breech than a smooth-bore musket. In the hands of an expert rifleman they could be loaded pretty fast though. Daniel Day-Lewis in the movie 'The Last of the Mohicans' was doing at a probably exagerated speed.
Another speedup was pre-measured 'rounds' or 'cartridges'. These were used in the American Civil War even with the Minie ball.
Another speedup came with percussion caps. It was no longer neccessary to charge the flash-pan with a fine grade of black powder. The flash-pan powder had a habit of shaking out and getting wet.
All muzzle loaders also leaked hot gas from the priming hole. Quite a bit of it in fact. Usually out and to the side rather than straight back. If you haven't yet tried it you should try loading and firing a muzzle loading flintlock rifle some time. Quite and involved process.
The more modern mass produced firearms were not possible until machine tools, metallurgy, chemistry, accurate gaging methods, and (or course) innovation in the firearms design and industry. This didn't start to really happen until about 1830-1860 in England... led by people like Maudslay, Whitworth, and Nasmyth. These advances were combined with mass production techniques that werebeing developed in the US. Education of the skilled workers did also play a significant part in industrialization. They had to be able read and calculate measurements. Read and understand blue prints and written instructions. In contrast a farm worker needs to know a lot also... but that was just 'common sense' (on the farm) and learned by example. Otherwise little more than which end of the plough points forward.
Then there was the problem of rapid and reliable transport. The food has to get from the areas of production to the centers of consumption. That took canal building in England and the railroad in the US. Ancient Rome had pretty good roads. Many even better than we have today.
If you haven't already read it find a copy of Whitworth's 'The Industry of the United States in Machinery, Manufacturers and Useful and Ornamental Arts' which is a report to the British government of his visit to the US.
Correct, yet compare Egyptian economy, industry (yes they had industry), agriculture and building projects and they were well ahead of PRE-industrial England. Even the Roman Empire depended on Egyptian wheat for it's industry.
In any case... the primary jump in 'industrialization' of the west has been a combination of factors. It wouldn't matter how much food we had if there wasn't the technological drive and innovation.
Egypt is in Africa. Ancient Egypt, while not 'industrialized' in the modern sense, certainly operated and built stuff on an 'industrial scale'. The Nile valley was fertile enough to support armies of workers building pyramids, palaces, and monuments.
Africa's 'industrial revolution', though limited by their technology, started about five thousand years before the one in England.
One could even build a "bubble" over the area that was to be cleared and pressurize it with a cheap gas. Then just plug a vacuum hose into the wall of the bubble on the inside. Start vacuuming.
I agree... sort of. I have no problem with non-root users being able to install software anywhere where they have permissions to do so, such as in their home folder. It would also be nice if the PM allowed the other dependencies, if any, to be installed.
However, for other than the individual account, systemwide or even groupwide software install by anyone is a very bad idea. If you really need groupwide software installed there should be a groupadmin, not neccessarilly root, for installing the groupwide packages.
In my opinion and experience any other system will rapidly become a security nightmare.

I would like you to mention some "mountains" of evidence.
Well actually it is kinda funny that you brought up "mountains"... because, there literally is mountains of evidence. In fact, there are also valleys of evidence, outcroppings of evidence, plateaus of evidence, lakes of evidence, islands of evidence, oceans of evidence... heck, while we are at it... we have a whole planet of evidence. The entire geologic column of sedimentary fossil containing rocks form mountains of evidence. The evidence is that there are many forms of life that existed in the past that do not exist today. The most recent (near the top) forms we find in the column are very similar if not identical to forms that exist today. As we go back further in time and further down the column we see at times very gradual change from the current forms to other forms. Over extreme periods of time and much further down the column we find that the forms were much simpler in morphology than they are today. You can go and verify any of this by simply going around and digging it up. As far as I know, all of this evidence is in complete agreement with the theory of evolution. The geologic column is one of those facts of evolution and there are, quite literally, mountains of it.

The "primordial soup" is a foundation for abiogenesis... but is not life. There are many different theories of abiogenesis (how life arose from non-life). Abiogenesis is not part of the fact of evolution nor the theory of evolution. Evolution only deals living things.

You are asking Red Hat / Fedora Core engineers to anticipate the loading of a proprietary driver that they have no control over?
I agree that it would be better if rhgb just failed and continued booting.
Or Nvidia could have modified their installer so that the correct links are made in/etc/udev/devices. Personally, I think it is more Nvidias fault than FCs. Fortunately all of this was in the Release Notes for FC3 (or linked from it). I know this because I never ran into that problem on my systems where I use Nvidia drivers.
If the giardia no longer use sexual reproduction (assuming that they once did) it may be that they no longer find that sexual reproduction confers a particular advantage. In other words... it isn't worth the effort.
The thing is a WiFi transmitter is a dipole antenna type of device contained within the Faraday cage. Therefore, if the spacing between conductive elements of the cage is shorter than the wavelength of the of the radiation from the WiFi antenna it will block both incoming and outgoing radiation of that wavelength (and longer wavelengths). The signals from the WiFi antenna will just bounce around inside the cage.
However... if the cage has any openings that are larger than the WiFi signals wavelength then signal can get out AND in. For 802.11b the frequency is 2.4GHz which would give it a wavelength of lambda = c/f = 0.125 meters or about 5 inches. Therefore no window can have an opening larger than 5 inches otherwise the signal can get out. Microwave ovens operate at a frequency of about 2.5GHz making their wavelength about 4 and 3/4 inches. The openings in the mesh of the microwave oven door are about 1/8 inch diameter... this makes the mesh a more perfect mirror to 2.5GHz microwaves than the most mirrors for visible light. Visible light (about 400-700 nanometers or 0.000016 to 0.000028 inches) fits through the 0.125 inch diameter holes quite easily so we can see how our slice of pizza is doing.
All of the above assumes a well connected mesh whether it is a house or a microwave oven. They would do just as well to cover the house in chicken wire.
I can import/export plain text files as text, CSV, or DAT/MPA. No need to copy-paste. This works for the Memopad app in Palm OS. It also works for the Addressbook, Datebook, and TodoList. I can not say enough good things about jPilot... reliable, simple, fast, gets the job done. It is such a good application I would use it as a PIM even if I didn't have the Palm OS device. One can also get plugins for gnu-keyring and email... and a few others I never use.
Only one caveat... jPilot only runs on Linux/Unix. Once the files are imported to the Palm the regualr Windows and Mac OS Palm Desktop apps read them just fine.
I really don't see the problem of the original question. Palm OS does a limited set of things and it does them well. It is basically a way of carrying around a bunch of conveniently searchable and editable databases. I have not found the need for the newer or more featureful apps that are available on Pocket PCs. I also own a Sharp Zaurus 5000 and an HP iPaq. Neither of which comes close to the reliability and utility of my nice little Palm Vx. From my experience all the fancier devices try to squish desktop apps into a palm sized device... none of them do it well.
