And if he was caught by selling it to an underover agent, was he still not selling it until proven guilty? Anyway that reference "every person must be presumed innocent until proven guilty" is in reference to the legal system not to the general public. Case in point, my brother in-law stole beer from me, he is guilty of it as I caught him doing it, the court of law will never find him guilty since I've not reported such an insignificant thing... I guess he is innocent for you eh?
I guess that there are no dups in slashdot either since they have not been proven in the court of law.
You're right, casualties during a time of war is much worse than what Saddam did... I'm sure the Iraqis would much rather be threatened, beat, tortured, gassed, thrown out of tall buildings, have their children molested in front of them... blah blah blah...
Was the war for the wrong reason? It appears so.. Was the war at the wrong time? Is there ever a more right time? Wrong President?... We'll see the wrong president for the next 4 years if you have your way.
I can't believe what slashdot has done with the political section, it is truly disgusting... michael shouldn't be posting shit in this section, he is obviously extremely biased, this is hardly even a story...
AHHHHHHHH I can't take it anymore it is SUSE... SUSE SUSE SUSE SUSE SUSE SUSE, it hasn't been SuSE since September of 2003. And no I'm not crazy.. I've seen people get corrected from suse, etc to SuSE thousands of times and now its time to go the other way around:P
... It doesn't need to actually read the chip (lets assume the passport data is encrypted), it just needs to know it's there...
You neglecting to include in your thought process that RFID tags are everywhere already, half of us have them in our car keys, some have them in our credit cards and they are even in many gas cards...
Interesting, I hadn't noticed because it is VERY hidden on their site, its what.. 3 links deep and then just says "...or you can get formal support from Canonical Ltd or other companies.", doesnt' seem like they are, at this point, interested in supporting it commericially; I can't say that I blame them since it is a very new distro..
1.) Xandros has crossover office, very important for many businesses (whether you like it or not), it also has StarOffice (deluxe version)
2.) Xandros has more than just community support
3.) Xandros has more liability than Ubuntu for how the product behaves
4.) Xandros, when purchased, comes with a VERY nice manual.
5.) Xandros has a very nice installer, much easier to use than Anaconda, debian, suse, etc IMO.
Having said all that, I dislike Xandros, I dont' like KDE among other reasons...
...AOL has given a lot, and I can't think of them actually taking anything.
What about waste? What about whats-his-face that used to work on winamp. What about all the wasted bytes on my harddrive linking to "TRY AOL FREE". Now that shit pisses me off.. I bought a new 5.1 surround sound card (sound blaster live) and it automatically installed links to "Try AOL Free" on all the users desktops, the start ment programs and the top of the start menu, for that alone the bastards should be kicked in the balls.
ngunton:... bloated XUL interface engine that makes Mozilla (and Firefox) next to unusable on my old workstation (450 MHz, RH 7.3)...
Weird, firefox runs very well on my 233mhz laptop with 128 megs of ram and thats with windows... Granted its not built into the OS and so it is slower to launch than IE but it is certainly manageable, its no like launching OpenOffice.
Except that to probably 90% of the general public an internet browser _is_ the internet. Rut at any rate, that leaves joe sixpack the option of using what? Text based FTP?
Over the years i've opened a few accounts with alternating letters and numbers just to get by a registration somewhere. Each of those accounts received spam in the first few days... Some of them I _never_ distirbuted at all..
How can we improve turltes? And I realized exactly how.. there are way too many god damn wires! Someone beat me to the punch and made the first wireless turtle... damnit I should have acted faster:(
SQLExpress (currently beta) replaces MSDE and it has no workload limits. It does have limits, you can use just 1 cpu, 2 gig dbs, etc. It is free for _everyone_. You can also ship it with your MS Windows products without cost.

Having said that however, I choose to use PostgreSQL.
Looks perfect for me in FireFox. I am using yesterday's build (20040905), not.9 though. One of the nightly builds fixed the screwed up looking slashdot pages too!
You are missing that it is open source and easily addressed. You are missing that we tell users that mozilla products take security very seriously and not to worry to much about it. You are missing that 90% of users never change their theme or even customize their firefox so they CAN NOT tell the difference between the spoof and real. You are missing that 90% of sites tell users... Look at the https in the address bar and click on the lock to view the security certificate. And no, without XUL no you can't do these things even remotely as well.
Bottom line, this is a security issue that should have been addressed a long time ago. Every single security hole no matter how remote should be immediately addressed. Half the argument to using open source is additional security...

Or how about Algeria?
What was detoured? There are more soldiers in the afghan area now than before the Iraq war...

Well I'd say
1.) Xandros has crossover office, very important for many businesses (whether you like it or not), it also has StarOffice (deluxe version)
2.) Xandros has more than just community support
3.) Xandros has more liability than Ubuntu for how the product behaves

Slashdotting PayPal before may have been impossible but with some problems already we can finish them off!

Some of them I _NEVER_ used, as said in my message, not even for registration...
Didn't this get perfected in WarCraft2? :)

You should see my work area! Err wait, I'm not sure what it looks like anymore, but its under the coffee cups, beer cans and other crap somewhere...
Except that laws like this don't keep these weapons out of criminals and/or terrorist hands...

Yes! That is damn annoying! I get it all the time. On the other hand I see daily the consequences of users using IE and IE based browsers at work...

dmoz comes to mind, http://dmoz.org. I don't know if that qualifies for 'free' but its certainly more free than yahoo/google.
In all real sports you can reasonable expect someone to get injured.
If someone isn't going to get hurt.. why bother!
