You can safely ignore people in instances like this. If the mission succeeds then you'll be a hero, if it fails then politics is the least of your worries.
Forgive the indelicacy, but do you think that maybe you are more familiar with the nuance of Quebecois? I ask because I read a review of 'Slapshot' and the reviewer suggested that the Canadian French dub was funnier, and even then I ascribed it to chauvnism. Now with two it looks like a pattern, or is Quebec French to comedy what French French is to l'amor?
1) Slashdot is extremely biased and inaccurate every day.
2) Fox News has a strong rightward slant.
I don't watch enough TV, let alone FNC, to have a catalog of their offences, but if you want an example of Fox News carrying water for this administration you need only listen for the word "homicide bomber". The word was invented by this administration, and is used only by entities determined to adhere to WH talking points.
Media Matters should have more examples, some of which you may find pursuasive.
Really, really, really smart people 2000 years ago were probibally really, really smarter than most people now. Additionally Archimedes was very familiar with the materials available. It is very possible that the best and brightest of today would fail because they couldn't believe that a technology of the day would have been able to make sufficiently reflective mirrors etc. Not that these things MUST have worked properly, but who would believe the pyrimids were built if they weren't still standing?
I believe that the ammonia needed to refrigerate anything must also be very pure, as the HOWTO websites always mention that even a whiff of the vapor (should it escape) could kill you. An interesting side point is that you don't need electricity at all, some of the origial refrigerators and ACs were natural gas powered.
I've spent a fair amount of time on the Gentoo boards, and am suprised by how many people are using other distros and how much relevant help they get. I can't remember ever having seen the hostility mentioned above.
I believe that Chuck Yeager used to use shampoo on the inside of his canopy to prevent it from fogging over. IIRC the Air Force had a similar substance, but it was very expensive and they ran out one day.
The problem with settop boxes is that they decrease the usability of the TV. Assuming Chinese homes have one TV, that TV will can either be used to watch broadcast TV, pirated DVDs or surf the internet at 14.4. If you had your choice which would it be? If the family has 2 large TV's, then maybe they would be willing to tie one up with a substandard internet connection, but if you have two TVs that can display text (chinese characters no less) legibly then you can most likely afford an actual computer.*

You misspelled Knowles (and Ebert). I have to disagree if that is your assessment of Ebert. I think he overpraises films that do something beyond what he expects, but I usually agree with his overall assessment. He seems a lot less asskissy than most household name critics, and I think he has a genuine interest in film as art.
I've been using Reiser4 on a spare partition for a while now, and my only suspected issue (inexplicible HDD activity) may not have been related. When I compiled it in, Hans Reiser stated that there were 0 open bugs. My understanding is that Reiser4 is so bizarrely un-posix that Linus isn't comfortable with it. The HR/LT discussion regarding R4s inclusion was posted here a while back.

I'm assuming that this is an ASCII reprocution of this pirated iTUNES track.
Seriously though just give us a real story. EG: I heard someone submitted a strange wishlist item to the xorg bugtraq. Also there is an OSS project somewhere going from BETA 1 to BETA 2.
I often thought that a OSS bounty site would be good. People could pay $20 (to avoid the micropayment % problem), then distribute the money in $1 or $5 towards features and programs they they wanted implimented. The problem is who manages each project, and how long feature can take etc. Hopefully someone with management skills will read this and solve the problem. Depending on the lead time for project completion, it could even make a little money on the interest from peoples $20.
Well, it's one boot device better, isn't it? It's not a CD. You see, most...most blokes, you know, will be playing at booting from a CD. You're booting Knoppix...all the way up...all the way up...
Yeah...
...all the way up. You're in KDE but cant save files...where can you go from there? Where?
I don't know....
Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is if we need that extra..push over the cliff...you know what we do?
Boot from the iPOD.
The iPOD. Exactly. One better.
If you can't use a CD, why don't you just use a laptop drive in a USB enclosure, hook that up instead of the iPOD and use your iPOD for music and your external drives for storage?
I believe that there is a javascript program which takes your email address from a long string (created earlier) and translates it back to text. This is done to foil spambots, but a very slight variation could be used to foil suburl.
Of course people would have to have JS enabled in their mail client to read the spam. But the only people dumb enough to do that are the same ones who w4NT CH3@p C1ali5!

has a good tutorial which shows an alternate server for a acouple debs and from which you can just copy and paste the horrensously long atp-get command. Sadly, I get a 'permission denied' error chenever I try to run 'rails foo'. So maybe the tutorial wasn't that great after all.
One could argue that the last two SW films have been Brechtian excercises in character reduction with state of the art special effects and typical Hollywood plot mechanics. If that is the case then perhaps Lucas is simultainously expressing his contept for the state of contemporary film AND pushing it further. I'm not sure that he is, but it seems plausable since I think Bruckheimer has as much as admitted that his films are intended as something slightly beyone self parody, and he hasn't nearly the cache of Lucas.
Though I envy your fuel effenciency, your car causes about the same abount of road wear and congestion as mine. I think that the free-ride aspect of alternitive vehicals us fine for now (to encourage switching and develop a critical mass), once they are common that incentive would stop and an alternitive method of taxes/fees will have to levied. It's only fair the the Hummer II drivers.
It isn't just storage. The one I messed around with had (I think) 3tb. It grabs and stores the cover art and some imdb-type info, and I think it suggests related selections. It is overpriced, and the size of a minifridge, but you aren't just paying for storage, I think you get a 200 disk changer and another unit that I think is for playback (as opposed to storage).
I'm sure OSS could whip up something similar, but if you are buying this you just want it to work and you want someone to yell at then you can't get the cover art for "Hope Floats"
I'd never thought about the legal aspects of it, because it seems to me like fair-use backup. The DVDs are stored encrypted, so there isn't anything amiss there.
I believe that the original Trek series was pitched as "Wagon Train" in space. Enterprise was supposed to be a return to that ethos, but I never noticed it in the few episodes I watched.
The original Trek was very much a product of its time, and TNG was a re-examination of those ideals. The problem since then is that Trek has continuously been on the air so there is nothing to reexamine except through the prism of their[the character's' times, which just isn't as interesting.

No, I believe there is some neigh-insurmountable problem in getting a bootloader to hand off control back to the bios for a CD boot.

Ahh...oh, I see....
iPOD... Charger... USB chord
..and almost all computers can boot from a CD ...
Exactly.
Does that mean it's...better? Is it any better?
Well, it's one boot device better, isn't it? It's not a CD. You see, most...most blokes, you know, will be playing at booting from a CD. You're booting Knoppix...all the way up...all the way up...

It sounds just crazy enough to work. (Actually the permission denied error was the first of many showstoppers for me.)
