    Yeah, the average age of sexual debut is 14 years for girls and 15 for boys. This hasn't changed for ages.

    Wouldn't they already be caught by the current system?

    If I recall correctly you are asked upon entry to the US whether or not you plan to commit any terrorist activities during you visit. Any honest terrorist should answer that truthfully, but maybe it is only used for statistics? ;)

    Wow. You are right!

    I just saw that movie last week on a movie festival. I am hardly surprised if turns out to be semi-authentic ;)

    Sorry, read up on 19th and 20th century politics.

    Let me take a quick example:
    With the current popular queen and crown prince the only republicans in the danish parliament are the communists.

    Being a republic just means you have a president unlike a constitutional monarchy that is also a democracy but has a monarch.

    Sorry don't believe everything the republicans tell you. The US is both a republic and a democracy. There is no such thing as "direct democracy" and if there was it wouldn't be called democracy.

    Because it is easier to change time itself than change the minds of corporate bureaucrats.

  9. Re:Changing careers right now! on Daylight Savings Change Proposed · · Score: 1

    But since UTC is regulated to match astronomical time(GMT) by adding leap seconds. There is hardly any real difference and if you accept a few milliseconds inaccuracy you just as well call UTC for GMT.

    Which would lower housing prices in the big cities, and still mean that the ones living close to the city would not have to deal with as many traffic jams (the traffic would spread over a wider area).

    This was the conclusion KDE came to last subversion was evaluated. It couldn't even handle a small module.

    Things have changed however and now all of KDE is moving to subversion. This is a multi gigabyte repository. One of the largest public CVS repositories ever.

    Oil Levels are low. Would you like to:

    No would be the KDE way. Apple and GNOME would ask:

    KDE has nothing to do with Mono. The author probably meant Ximian Gnome, but that doesn't even make the statement true, and wtf does Mono have to do with Java?

    Think so?

    Well take a look at this commit by the KDE CVS administrator Davbin Muellov ;-)

    Ironic since Miguel de Icaza only started GNOME after being thrown out of KDE.

    Almost. The NT kernels are not all 4.0 the first was 3.5. Windows 2000 represented enough change to go to 5.0 and has therefore not unusual in its numeration.

    The unemployment problems in France and Germany are due to internal inflexibility and has nothing to do the with European model in general. The Scandinavian countries which has some of the most meddling politics has much lower unemployment rates (4-5% in Denmarks for instance).

    Please please please don't install all KDE modules!

    Now it has been said.

    The kdetoys modules is designed to contain useless crap that makes people go: HUH? What the hell is that? Other examples from that modules is a tea clock and rolling head. So if you don't want useless crap don't install kdetoys!

    Other modules to avoid is kde-i18n (do you really want KDE in Swahili and Welsh?) and kdeaddons (stuff no one wanted responsibility for)
