Why would you want your distro to detect your hardware? Not like you don't know what you put in your computer. If you don't makes sense you can allways do a modprobe * and check in dmesg which modules worked and which were redundant.
5. On this point, I dont' care who says what - Microsoft has better (and I mean this in all respects) tools available for Rapid development.
Do we want rapid development? The shorter development stage the greater the chance of overlooked bugs. RAD-tools makes programming, which used to be quite a craftmanship - which required a great deal of intelligence and wisdom, to pointless point and clicking.

It's absolutely justified banning public statements like "All jews should be gased" or "All blacks should be hung" or "Our race should be cleansed".
As soon as you start censoring a democracy it ceases to be a democracy. All opinions should be allowed independent of their nature, since no man is greater then any other man and because of that no man has the right to decide what ideological ideas are right or wrong.
The line between a censored democracy and a dictatorship is infinitely thin. Tampering with freedom of speech to protect yourself only removes the little protection you have left.

Or even better, we could start eliminating kids that are likely to code such appliations in the future!

I bet RIAA would be in favor of that as well
Heh, the RIAA is like a crossbreed between Mao Tse Dong and Gestapo.

Eh. I'm going to blame my spelling on that it's 5 am local time and i really need some sleep.

Ever connected all the cords to a computer in a dark room, accidentally flipping the red power setting switch?
Boom.
Gimp doesn't crash randomly when editing very large images

That's when you buy more RAM
Time to start rot13ing them SMSes?
That Linux is an operating system kernel and Windows is an operating system.
That article is a comparison between Linux + a bunch of 3rd party software not necessary to run Linux and Windows.
The interface was kinda buggy as well. (although that might have been my Linux Flash plugin messing with me)
*jot 220V on a note*

*stick in power outlet*
*insert cord*
220 V power?
Suppose they're afraid that if everyone starts out with applications like KDevelop and Eclipse they'll loose ground. I'd be if i were them.
The law is too slow - let the market decide.
The market's too slow, let's decide in hand to hand combat! c'mon! It'll be fun! We're 100 times as many...
Until we taint it with our presence.
True,the modern bacteria we're going to bring will literarlly obliderate any life that exists in there.
X-men is becomming reality!
On the other hand, who said that corporations should develop software?

Somehow i feel sorry for the poor people assigned the job of actually putting them together.

Possibility A:
Aliens kidnapped you and dropped you off in Tokyo and then brought you back and erased most your memory of it.
Possibility B:
Are you on drugs?
Possibility C:
Timespace folded over itself causing a distortion in the universe that allowed for such unbeleivable things to happen.
Possibility D:
You're just saying that to get friends.
Great! In the future moms won't tell you to stay away from public toilets and murky places because you can get STDs. Now you can get PTDs as well x.x;
Why use external mail providers?
Step 1. Install sendmail & some spam filter
Step 2. Get a free domain (dyndns.org)
Step 3. [insert-your-drive-capacity-here] mail storage (~ 180 Gb for me).
Step 4.???
Step 5. Profit!
Ok, sure, some people are on dialup and so, but the rest of us. why?
To be more unix-alike you could do it like this =P
#!/bin/bash
# vote.sh (C) 2004 us govt.
ELECTION = 2004_election
read vote
echo vote >> $ELECTION
# end of vote.sh
create 2004_election, chown it to root, and set permissions to 660, and set setgid the vote.sh program =P
How hard does it GET? Why can't they just CnP this code, install linux on the machines and just ... vote??
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include
int main(void) {
char* c = NULL;
FILE* votes;
size_t len = 0;
size_t readb = 0;
if((votes = fopen("votes_nov_2004", "a")) == NULL) {
perror("votes_nov_2004");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
puts("Enter your vote>");
while((readb=getline(&c, &len, stdin))>0) {
fputs(c, votes);
putc('\n', votes);
puts("Enter your vote>");
}
fclose(votes);
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
You might as well run 30 xterms and let the wm handle it. Not like you'll ever use the 30 tabs simultanously anyway.
Why use those bloated terminals anyway. I think this proves my point (and i had QT and kde-libs loaded just to give Konsole a chance):
