  1. Re:You What!! on Andrew Morton on Kernel Hacking · · Score: 2, Informative

    You have version control in the fact that versions are realeased every now and then, you can just diff them manually.

    The lack of version control tool, does not mean the lack of version control. It is just done manually. While slower manual control is infinitely more flexible than computer assisted version control, which was why Linus waited until he found a tool that didn't hinder him too much.

    No ofcourse not.

    And besides women who put profiles online and _not_ poor. They have computer and internet, and skills in writen english. They are doing quite well, and are not trying to marry themselves out of poverty.

    The key here is that Russia for some reason has a women surplus (10% more women than men).

    I don't know what you are refering to, but the Russian brides spam is actually real and not a scam. There is an amazing amount of beautyfull single women in Russia looking for decent men and a life outside Russia.

    Maybe, but no necessarily from Mate1's site. 17-18 year old girls want to chat dirty with anyone, especially guys in different states or countries that pose no direct threat.

    That you according to newton mechanics will constantly try to move in straight lines. Any straight line will just hit the wall at some point, and the wall will change you to another straight line leading into the wall, and so on. Hitting the wall all the time, will feel like it is sucking you.

    Thats why it's called americano. As a joke towards the people who would order it in Europe.

  8. Re:Who is this "YHWH"??? on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    It's the name of God. The name we are not supposed to take in vain, and most people consequently have forgotten to the point that it is not even used in many translations of Bible anymore, and that some people have gotten the odd notion that you are not supposed to say God in vain.

  9. Re:A few points on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    The name of God is not God, it's the tetragamatron you so like to have marked out. The entire reason we say God at all is to avoid using the name, so starting to mark out god which is supposed to be the proper replacement for his name, is just incredibly stupid.

    LAME player?

    I don't think LAME has their own decoder. It's an encoder, and GPL I think..

    Because the online version of BBC news is getting better and better, and they have decent technology news, like NY Times and unlike CNN.

    While they certainly try to explain many things, most explainations make no sense, and most wierd things are never explained.

    I've always found it odd they could safely land and breathe on most planets, and that most if not all aliens are humaniod and speaks english, that all gravities are 1G, and sexuallity is mostly preserved in aliens (with few exception which are usually there for plots).

  14. Re:Apple Distortion Field. on The Man Behind Apple And Pixar · · Score: 1

    Get an hierloom red delicious, not the high-hip dyed red delicious you get in the stores. By far the original red delicious apples (not the kind you get in stores, but the ones with tiger stripe red) are the best apples ever.

    The ones with tiger stripes sounds like Cox Orange, pretty much the best apple that is "easily" available with growing and picking them yourself.

  15. Re:Yes, Novell have plenty of cash in the bank on Novell Missteps Not Affecting SuSE · · Score: 1

    SuSE wasn't making money before the acquisition, and SuSE Linux needs more corporate sponsors.

    They were making money, and even making comfortable money, they are still one of the few departments of Novell making money.

    And remember two important things. It was only designed to be 9 weeks of work not 12, that puts the pay at 12$/hour, AND it is taxfree!
    Which adds a nice extra bonus to it, besides being allowed to do whatever we like.

    You are talking in the context of the US legal system where anything goes if you have enough money. The parent poster was refering to the points by which EULAs have been defeated over most of Europe. I know this enumeration of ways EULAs fail, because they where the exact same failings that was enumerated when EULAs was defeated in Danish supreme court.

    I've done this with reflections of watches. You give the mirror a sudden jerk, and notice which spot jerks, you then use the position and movement to calibrate your aim and refocus. You can do this every 10-20 seconds and still get 80-90% effeciency.

  20. Re:what drives this controversy? on Lawmakers Support U.S. Control Of The Internet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That _is_ what they are doing. They _have_ build their own and connected it to the US network. If the US insist on maintaining control, there will be two internets. The one in the US and the one in the rest of the world. So yes, that would make the non-US one _The Internet_ and basically mean they have taken control over it.

    So semantically you are full of crap.

    Unfortunately that definition has problems as many species can interbreed although many get sterile offsprings. For instance would you consider horses and donkeys the same race? or tigers and lions?
