Who would take the trouble to try so many distros and not bother to summarize their findings in tabular format? Someone with the sorely lacking proce capability of Mr. LaRue, evidently.
Russ: I've just skimmed your blog. I, too, am a Quaker. The thing that really jumps out at me is your very strong opinion about minimum wage. Could I get your reaction to this?
"Total employment in the higher minimum wage states increased by 6.2 percent from January 1998 to January 2004, 50 percent greater than the combined job growth of 4.1 percent for the other states where the federal minimum wage prevailed. And Retail employment grew by 6.1 percent in the minimum wage states versus 1.9 percent in the other states."
I don't think Windows users should lose too much sleep over this. How is an exploit supposed to unprotect the heap segment in order to execute the buffer overrun code -- before such code has been executed?
In a 1987 case, a 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision that upheld an employer's right to ban off-duty smoking; a firefighter trainee sued the Oklahoma City Fire Department and city over a rule that prohibited smoking, on and off duty, for one year. The court found that the no-smoking rule had a legitimate purpose in promoting health and safety and did not violate due process. Grusendorf v. City of Oklahoma City, 816 F.2d 539 (10th Cir. 1987).
Lots of noise with occasional increases in reflectivity, but often at multiple altitudes. Sometimes auroral propagation on VHF is really sigificant, but don't count on it.

Much of that book is very good, but many of the examples are so contrived that I felt like throwing the book across the room. I recommend "The Data Game: Statistics in the Social Sciences" for a much more thourough treatment.

are not specifically Emacs keybindings, they are control sequences that pre-existed Emacs and work in most shell and Unix programs.
Those emacs keybindings existed in 1976, before any Unix programs had any keybindings, other than the use of stty(1) to set the "erase" and "kill" characters for those rare times that you might want to type "#" or "@".
Eh. I think we would be much better off with the suggestion from elsewhere, simply replacing the IE home page with a frameset comprised of a local file indicating that IE is vulerabe swiss-cheese trash, above the Firefox download page.
Most people's computer files are highly boring. It would take hard AI to make an interesting espionage trojan. Caveat: general chaos isn't really interesting, and is understood to be much easier.
This is a pretty good security advisory. It looks like it was actually meant to be understood by end users, and not just other security professionals. Then again, it seems to be taking a measurement without obtaining explicit permission first, and I'm sure that makes people nervous. But under the circumstances, it's probably not a bad decision to just go ahead. I mean, why not?
Why should I, as a Republican, have any say in who the Democrats decided to give their endorsement to?
Why shouldn't you?
Membership in one of the two major political parties doesn't preclude membership in the other, at least here in California. That county registrars require a single affiliation is an anachronism.
Is it different in Washington?
The fact is that both of the major political parties have a great deal of power, and nobody should be excluded from membership in either or both.
An equal percentage of value is paid regardless of economic status.
On the contrary, burdening the poor with the same property tax rate as the rich reduces (sometimes obliterates) the poor's disposable income to a much greater extent.
People on fixed incomes, e.g., pensioners, are especially affected. After they have retired into homes with increasing property values, what is to keep them from losing them?
you want to invest most heavily in human capital and the most important way to do that is to cease burdening investments in humans
On the contrary, an asset tax would burden those investments whether they have been successful or not, unlike an income tax wich doesn't further penalize unsuccessful investments.
Property taxation is regressive, and shrinks the middle class. Income taxation, if done with care as it is, for example, in Sweden, is the most progressive form.
Plurality voting suffers from th spoiler effect, which introduces inaccuracy amounting to about a 7% error on average, when it occurs, reaching as high as 23% in some U.S. elections.
Instant Runoff Voting has even been shown to produce the Condorcet winner more often in practice than the Condorcet method, because Condorcet voting be manipulated by strategic
voting (i.e., marking whichever of the top-two candidates you do not want to win dead last after people you like even less.) These references explain why in detail:

(Or N+1, for that matter, when the 1 is the one you need.)
Also, someone should tell the guy that semicolons are not allowed inside email addresses.

Ha! "Works for me, can you attach a scan of your police report?"
Ha! Altruism is for liberal arts majors. Technologists live for today!
So, who gets to decide what's historic and what's infringing?

Is there anything that could possibly have less consequence?

That can be done for less money with wind power, producing virtually no waste.
The company would construe access to the PowerPC prototypes, office space, access to publication (even if only potential) etc., as consideration.
If that's all they're offering, they should keep it in Ohio to help mitigate traditionally Democratic voter disenfranchisement in Ohio, statewide.
