Which one, the original or SP1 or SP2's EULA, they seem to have changed quite a bit, but i suppose the original EULA has something along the lines of "By agreeing to this EULA, you also agree to any future modifications to this EULA, which may be performed with notifying you , at any time in the future."
better yet, I smell a reality TV show, hot semi nude chicks , competing against robots, to defuse live bombs. And to add, shocking surprising elements , make some bombs irreversible. kick a55.
It not gramatically correct, and that is why it is confusing as hell.
The reason it is not gramatically correct, is because of the the OR clause.
Lets analize in detail..First part is "When police officeres found sucpicious pakes today", this means the author is talking about a perticular incident , that took place sometime today. But then he goes on to say "in an Airport OR a train station", This does not make gramatical sence. If the author is speaking of a perticular incident, then there should be no ambiguity about where it took place. So the correct use should indeed be as the parent pointed out, in present tense.
He used to bitch about problems with IE all the time, and my continuous reply was "Use mozilla"..finally one day I had enough, and I punched him in the nuts, that's when he saw the light. (or stars )
Yes, but according to Indian govt. definition of being literate, is being able to sign your name.
How difficult is that ?
Now if you count people who have completed highschool, it will be quite less, especially amongs the 40+ age group.
But the literacy rate ( highschool education not the name signing thing) is quite high in the current generations, and even high is the rate of people going on to complete their graduation.
But sadly these are the very people who are uninterested in elections. So it's a catch 22 problem, the illeterates vote in majority for leaders who are intersted in keeping them illeterates (so as to preserve their vote bank), and the one's who are literate , are so depressed by the policital fiasco, they don't bother about it.
And 30 years from now, there would be millions of VB and Java monkeys who will have no idea how to operate a then modern AI machine... so what's your point ?
Most humans can't keep upto date with technology as they age, neither should they be required to. I sure as hell will not want to learn Perl 45.0 20 years from now.
I mean, the only reason they have such severe sentence , is to serve an example to others and deter others from doing it. But is it legally or morally justifiable to make an example out of one offender , to deter others.
Even riot control police fire in air first and then use rubber bullets, they don't shot real bullets at random people , hoping it will deter other rioters.
Firstly theyt purposefully chose the name to rhyme with windows, hoping to cash in with average joe's familiarity with the term windows.
But seriously how many average joe's just walk to best buy and buy a copy of windows OS and install it on their PC. Let's face it, most people just use the OS their PC came installed with.
Given this fact, I fail to see how the name Lindows, was any beneficial. I mean, most people don't even know what an OS stands for, so what are the chances they go to buy Windows OS and install it on their own, and Now take a percentage of those extremely small nos. who will be fooled by the Lindows boxes sitting next to Windows boxes.
And the ones who are comfortable installing their own OS, any ways are not likely to be misled. So the name choice was unfortunate to begin with. All it did was gave them a lot of publicity (which is not a bad thing) but I really wonder how many customers really bought it think it to be windows.
Exactly my point. After a while the emerge -u world becomes unuseable. Everytime I have to emerge -puv world, and then select the one's that I really need to fix and neglect the others.
What portage needs to do , is seperate security fixes from enhancements. of course for major upgrades, security fixes and enhancements will be in the same version. but atleast when going from 0.98_0.1r3 to 0.98_0.2 , I should know if the upgrade was for a secuirity fix or add some eyecandy enhancement, which I can do without.
And reading individual changelogs of each ebuild is not an answer.
Most GUI applications I have used, have no problems with spaces, but with CLI, it gets tricky.
e.g. on most shells you need to escape the space with a \, e.g. This\ is\ a\ file.txt . Also for some shell or CL applications, you need to put the whole thing in quotes e.g. "like\ this" .
Further annoying is the fact that, commands which parse the inputs, often have space as a dilimeter , and even escaping with a \ and putting in quotes won't work.
e.g. find . -name "*.tar.gz" | xargs -n 1 tar -czvf , will not work if your.tar.gz file has spaces in file name. This has to be substituted with find . -name "*.tar.gz" -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 tar -zxvf
Of course on my Konsole , I can't cd to a directory with spaces, no matter what I do. But It works perfectly from a Virtual terminal. go figure
Unless, somehow , all those copies of Windows 95/98/ME/2K/XP installed on 90% of the PCs of home users some how , misteriously disappear over a period of one year and magically they have Redhat./Suse/Mandrake/Debain/Slack/Gentoo installed.
And then all those ex-windows users, some how magically learn how to use linux (not that it is hard, but it still has to be learnt, just as they did learn (?) to use windows)., I don't see this happening. Same holds for all the corporate desktops
I am tired of people claiming "This is the year of linux", year after year after year. There is never going to be one single year of linux, It will have to slowly and steadly erode in to M$ territory. But it will take a much longer time than a mear year, or even a decade, unless ofcourse M$ decides to do something very stupid, like I don't know, Make the wallpaper with setve ballmer and make it unchangable.
Arrgh, didn't you read my sig correctly, I am NOT from middle east, I am from USofA.
And my user name is "frodo from middle ea{rth}", the "rth" was truncated by/. , leading to many people assuming I am from middle ea(st).
And as much as it saddens me to remind you of , your very own history, here goes...You see there was a greate fantasy author called J.R.R Tolkein , from your country. His greatest work a trilogy of books called "The Lord of the rings", was and is immencely popular with geeks, including myself. The name "frodo from middle earth", is in reference to the central character of the book "frodo" , who hails from a place called middle earth, (shire to be precise).
Come on people, can I get a +6 informative on this ?
I find the accessibility features of KDE far more superior and useful. e.g. the KmouseTool which enables auto clicking.
If I am not wrong you need to buy seperate s/w for that kind of thing in windows . ( windows users correct me if I am wrong).
Besides adding accessibility features makes KDE very much a candidate for use in Govt. work and any other place where accessibility features are a must.
Most managements are clueless idiots, the moment you walk in to a meeting board, with an argument that open source has no spy ware, some idiot will ask you, but isn't it true that open source code can be edited by anyone ?
There is no easier way to fight the paranoia about open source s/w , if you work for PHB.

What about bridge ?

For anyone who likes cheezy kung-fu movies, will emencly enjoy it.
The best scene, is when one guy asks other guy, what's happening ?
And then you see the other guy, talking for about 10 secs, and finally hear the dubbing "I dunno".
I almost fell out of my chair ,
I had win 95 + Office 95, and I wanted to learn JDBC programming, so here is what i did.
Create a Excel spreadsheet and used MS ODBC + MS Query to define a query on the spreadsheet. Juse Sun's JDBC-ODBC engine to query.
That was the best JDBC self training I ever got, after that Oracle, Sybase etc were piece of cake.
better yet, I smell a reality TV show, hot semi nude chicks , competing against robots, to defuse live bombs. And to add, shocking surprising elements , make some bombs irreversible. kick a55.

I used to have a track ball mouce, and now a wireless, no need of mouse pad, as ther is no ball.
I run linux, but have kept a Windows ME , still installed on my PC, for certain Windows only applications. But I can't use itunes on it too.
WTF , how difficult is it to provide a linux or Windows 98/ME , application ?
The grand parent's point is that the great grand parent has no point. Point taken ?

Some times the changes are so minor, I really wonder if it is worth it.
If you live by the sward, be prepared to be shot down by the gun.
The only thing is the " "(space), problem .

Yes , and what's up with all those red swingline staplers, Let's take them away too.
