As other has noted elsewhere: Don't ever suggest testing for anyone.. It is more buggy than unstable. Unstable doesnt mean it crashes or has lots of bugs, in fact Debian unstable is usually much more stable than release version of Fedora or Mandrake, unstable only refers to the distribution seen as a set of packages which changes daily.
Testing is a broken version of unstable. Because of the silly rules in Debian, it often doesnt get critical updates, because some wierd package doesnt build on some wierd architecture.
One other thing he is forgetting: There is no strong protection for PC-games. They have to been read by the operating system, and it has to have checks. The two ways current systems are circumvented is through emulating the specifics of the correct CD or by simple voiding the CD-check. Both of these are made easy because CD-protections are run-of-the-mill productions, if you used a completly new unknown protections it would be strong for exactly one game, then it would be broken and thus weak.
Idiot. What would prevent me from measuring in 10s of cm (which I do), and then easily add fractions if I need to? (no, nobody calls them decimeters, just 10cm).
What size the base unit is in metric is irrelevant since the sizes scale so easily. All you really have proven is that you would be even more fucked it foot wasnt such a practical size.
Sorry: Different definitions of Europe, as north european I don't make comparisons with south or east-europe, as they are much poorer than north-west Europe. Much like you would hardly take mexican figures as representative for the US. The difference is that in Europe the poor south and east european countries makes up a much larger portion of the total population, screwing up the totals.
The figures for PC-penetration range between 92% and 98% depending on survey. And Denmark, Sweden or Finland takes turn at being the country with the highest penetration. Internet has been slightly behind because it used to be very costly to use, unlike in the US, so when measuring modem use, the US is clearly ahead, while they are behind on broadband.
The 25% figure for the US, is only based on upon the UN poverty rate for the US, I don't expect people who can't afford basic life-goods to afford a PC or internet.
Don't know what the old-services will do, but they will have to fix a few things.
1. Not cost twice as much a iTunes! 2. Have a bigger selection of music! 3. Advetise them selves more, since a lot of people think iTunes is first online music provider in Europe.
Since there is a higher percentage of the population that has computers and internet in Europe it would only make the number even more odd.
In case you wonder why the percentage is higher in Europe, first realise that 25% (a number that falls with the prices) of american "house"-holds can't afford a computer, while the 95% of for instance danish households have a computer (100% of those with children).
I dont know about other CS-educations, but I am not even tought practical programming, it is assumed we will have people for that. So we not only have a say in the product development cycle, we are the product development (with some rough infights with marketing).
If you have 10 disk with RAID5 and RAID01, you will get 9 times disk-space with RAID5 and 5 times with RAID01. Both systems will for every write have to write to 2! disks, no more. During reads RAID5 will 9 to interleave from and RAID01 will have 5.
In other words: 1. RAID5 wins in disk-space 2. RAID5 is esactly as fast in writes (disrecarding CPU load, which is usually hardware assisted). 3. RAID5 is faster in reads.
Actually I considered myself a windows power-user before I went linux. I usually turned of browsing as the first thing when booting windows 2000. Ofcourse this was mostly to overcome the lack of a right-click "open in new window" option, which ment that if you browse you would need to start all over from "My Computer" to get a second window open (for drag'n'drop".
The spatial view is not all bad; it is just silly on unix, and should be easy to deactivate completely.
So you are advocation to let a unintelligent agent place your files _randomly_. Bayesian filters works with spam (and viruses) because they often are duplicates, or near duplicates. The only thing a bayesian filter could sort on your harddisk is to group originals and backups together.
Not even that: Most militaries have stealth ships and have had for some time. I would make a joke about swedish military being hopelessly behind, if it wasnt for the fact that they _also_ already operates a few stealth ship.
I other words, it is not the first, not even the first swedish one.
The french navy even have several stealth ships in service. The swedish mility is just trying to create some publisity in hope that someone will but their expensive (usually) outdated technology.
When you consider that the stealth airplanes looses their special stealth-painting when it _rains_. I seriously doubt the abilities of skunkworks stealth-ships, especially if based on the same technology.
Your theory has one problem, and one that has been shown statistically: Attractive men usually "date" more than one sexual partner at a time.
Another interresting statistic (from the 70s though): About 10% of all men are still virgins then they die.
So yes there is huge difference in virginity between men and women, especially around the end of the teenage-years. It helps somewhat when the woman reach the mid-20s are starts looking for other things than just appearence in men.
I dont think that is the real connection. With all the desperate men out there, it is just a lot harder for a woman to still be a virgin a 20yr, unless it is a consious choice (still hard). In other words, they better things to do a friday night than hack on the linux-kernel.
*LOL* Luxembourg has 1! developer.. Just one, just happens to be a very small country. Fighting back would involve killing lot fins to reduce them to Luxembourg level:)
Actually the problem is easierly solved using the clipboard. Just press CTRL+C, then select and delete and press CTRL+V. If implemented correctly the selection has not overriden the clipboard.

That's ofcourse not a problem if you don't believe EULAs are legally binding.

Girls are like Internet domain names, the ones I like are already taken.
And in college 1999 a few intrepeneurish guys collected all the girls other seemed to like, and later sold them back at overprice.
Oh wait..
I guess you also think you can as good a news coverage by watching TV as you would reading a newspaper.
Here is an eyeopener for you: Terrorism is always war.
Does that justify it?
Actually, they are close enough that this is arguable.
Nope.
You are right ogg vorbis is the better one: Result of double-blind listening test.
On second though: You are just full of shit, and properbly dont know it.
Nope, you are not making the correct comparisons.

2. RAID5 is esactly as fast in writes (disrecarding CPU load, which is usually hardware assisted).
3. RAID5 is faster in reads.
Nothing worth using RAID01 for
No you do RAID 5, as RAID 0+1 is usually a hack provided by these commodity controllers that cant give a real performance improvement anyway.

Women, by nature, are more social creatures

In what way is your communications online, not real-world interactions?
What difference is there between chatting online and talking on the phone, except a stupid snobbish attitude towards online communications?
Just select synchronized selection and clipboard in klipper. Why do you want to impose your own preferences on other peoples defaults?
