Disagree.
I started developing for KDE as part of GSoC 2006. It was a hell of a time getting started, and I made little progress towards the actual project. But in the meantime, documented the process of getting involved with KDE so that other people can breeze past the stuff I did and make it further.

Clearly, your wife has never seen the lifecycle of maintaining a database:
1. Collect data into database 2. Maintain database 3. Some outside authority requires access to said data; fork() and goto 1 4. Goto 2 5. Decommission database
Sign me up for as much stuff as you want. I'll keep whatever you send me and reverse charges for the rest. I don't even mind the inconvenience, because I know that Visa will charge the merchant a fee and if enough people have done it then they will increase the cost of transactions.
Buyers are protected with Visa, what part of that don't you understand?
This reminds me of the original Zelda where you go in the cave and pay money...

Have you started any lawsuits for this yet?
Also, remember... you can return ANYTHING. Whether or not Best Buy's policies agree with you. Leave the CD on the return desk, take a photo and walk away. Then call Visa.
People who talk about not being able to return things have clearly never called Visa. The phone call is faster than a Slashdot post and 100% effective.

Yup.

I am currently in the midst of a "responsible disclosure" nightmare, involving NDAs, the FBI, SEC and an online investment bank. For as much work, no pay and no recognition this "responsible" behavior is getting me, I don't know what is worth it.
Also, any advice on responsible disclosure in online financial situations would be appreciated.
If it works the same way as the health care reform legislation then you'll be limited to choosing a list of internet packages that were pre-approved by the FCC or some other Federal bureaucracy. This may or may not include one that meets your needs and provides you with the most value for your hard earned money.
No. If it works the same way as proposed health care reform legislation, an additional 20% of your packets will be stolen from any transaction you initiate and they will be used to support others' zombie connections that just wont die. All network engineering (choosing which packets live and which ones die) will be handled by the largest operators in the game and highly politicized, mostly by Pelosi. Also, if you opt not to buy service, you will have to pay an extra fee.
And you thought running out of IPv4 addresses was bad...
It goes hand in hand with our doing nothing about global warming policy (the hope being once that kicks in it'll reduce the populace and free up some IPs). Stay the course.
You have accurately compared responses to IPv4 and global warming: listen to underlings rabble about pseudoscience, find out that no problem exists, move on to next problem.
I'm traveling to Tokyo for FOE, so I need to stay near the Big Sight. Do you have any specific place recommendations?
Another travel tip I learned in Asia: You can buy clothes cleaning soap (tou4ming2fei2zao4 in China, I'm sure the rest have it too) and comfortably go one month on limited underwear/teeshirts by washing them nightly during shower.

I feel as though I am the only one not drinking from the cool-aid on this one. The story line, apart from the apparently necessary political message, is nothing more than a rehash of a million other stories. From the noble savage to the walking armor suit so reminiscent of the suit that worn in the Aliens finale by Sigourney Weaver, this story was a soup of elements found in many other stories and movies. Were this story presented as a book, without James Cameron's name, it would have been rejected outright.
The only creative elements that exist in this movie were the special effects and associated artistry, which made the movie worth watching. They were outstanding.
Finally, why do entertainers continue to feel that they have to present their beliefs within a movie. If I want to be preached at or listen to political messages, I will go to church or read a newspaper/book. I do not want to see it in movies or hear it at concerts.
I don't see why everyone is raving about "special effects". Just watch any other movie, and turn up the hue setting on your TV, you'll get the same effect.

Of course... this is 1Gb shared bandwidth...
But for comparison, Princeton's entire campus has peak utilization at 1Gb

... and still we have no real Mac support.

I maintain the http://kde.org/community/getinvolved/ website and have worked with Quality, Techbase and code docs.

Decentralizing Twitter is very viable.
Third party sites that you can use to indirectly access Twitter content should easily thwart censorship.
2^64 hosts should be enough for anyone

This is already done. It's called an email address.
Import your gmail contacts to find new friends on facebook. this concept is applied many ways.

except that "steeling" a product results in a civil fine. Cracking DRM is a federal felony that can get you decades of hardcore prison time.
But luckily, cracking only needs to be done once. After that, the redistribution is lesser crime.
Hello.
I'm posting this reply from my iSlate, on large stilts next to your fence.

I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer". I am a Citizen of the State of Texas
Is that what it says in your constitution?
They also want "content-centric networking" where all content is identified and controlled.
Maybe they could conjure up some sort of uniform locator for these resources and some type of algorithm to securely hash the content.
