Out sourcing and Open Source are different. Open Source represents many people in many countires producing code that we can all use. Out sourcing represents enhancing the wealth of a small group of people. Really they are at opposite ends of the political spectrum.
Give the craze of Harry Potter in the past few years I find this very hard to believe. I don't think books have ever been as popular as they are now. Of course you could be trolling...
If the majority of voters voted I don't think you would be throwing away the vote. Those vast numbers would make a difference for even the minor parties.
iv) vote, and convince all of your friends to vote, in the next federal election cycle.
This really upsets me. I'm sure the percentage of slashdotters that vote is above any national average so I'm not pointing fingers. However, how many unfair laws are passed in democratic nations because people either don't vote or vote in an uninformed manner? There are poeple in this world who are dying to be able to vote yet the majority of us who can vote don't. I think not voting should be crime.
You need to understand how it works. By adjusting the vehicle's bouancy you give it velocity in the direction of up or down (water pressure for up and gravity for down). The fins or wings translate the up or down velocity partially to forward motion.
The density of air it to small to generate enough up or down velocity for a land (air actually) to work.
Actually, you bring up a good point. Would it be cheaper to send people up to the asteroid to mine or, send automated equipment to return the asteroid to earth orbit (or even a controlled re-entry)?
Would someone care to point out which cards have native Linux drivers available? Once we have this list I think we should go out of our way to buy from vendors with Linux drivers.
Ok, I agree that it could be fine to accept payment this way. However, there are allegations/theories that SCO is using this entire case to inflate their stock. Now the lawyers representing SCO are taking stock as partial payment...
SCO stock as payment?

The firm of David Boies, SCO's attorney in charge of their Linux IP cases, has announced their compensation (so far) from SCO: $1 millio USD in cash, and $8 million in SCO stock.
Taking stock in the company you are representing as payment? Is it just me, or does that seem wrong?
I suggest you read/watch James Burke's excellent series "The Day the Universe Changed," his other industrial history series whose name escapes me at the moment, or old columns in Scientific American
That pretty much sums up the world of commercial Unix. The commercial Unix companies had a lead of years (or even decades) on Windows and Linux. What did they do with that lead? Very little. Yes, they added hardware support and improved their kernels but, what about the utilities? What about the tools that Unix users need for everyday work?
It's just like the American (other countries aswell) war on drugs. You can never stop the supply as long as there is a demand. Spam will never be eliminated until it's not possible to profit from it.
2)i'm not saying that this game turns people into crazed killers, but that it is desensitizing and teaches them war tactics in a way that they understand, outside of the army's supervision, and that these tactics can be applied adversely.
Then you'd better ban all books about war (fact and fiction), Sun Tzu's writings, and let's not forget television.
How is this statement any better than what the RIAA says about P2P? If you are file sharing you must be pirating. You are correct, evil is defined by knowledge and tools, not actions.
If organized racing of electric, or even hybrid, cars were to take place there would be two great benifits:
Education of the public. People would get to see this cars in action. They would be less alien. People might consider buying that Prius or Insight afterall.
Racing can offer huge technology advancements. Fuel injection, ABS breaks, and traction control are all examples of technology born, or at least prooven in racing.
Haven't we gotten the fonts, fonts and more fonts out of our system yet? If you really need lots of fonts, you are probably publishing and be using a frames based application. Wait, Swriter is frames based.
Seriously, 90% of the people who use spreadsheet and word processing software can barely use them above the level of a glorfied type writer. The hundreds of dollars you may be spending for these people are probably going to waste.

Have some pride man! If it wasn't for you would would all be wallowing in our own filth. Truely, your work makes us all a little more civilized.
Can anyone produce some quantitative facts about lighting and which is the most efficient.

If all clocks stop for 39 minutes then were is the accountability? How will security systems continue to log events?

I thought people voted for industries and not parties. The Oil/Entertainment coalition for instance.

- Purchase 130,000 laptops
OR- Increase teacher salaries to attract better teachers.
- Purchase better, up to date text books.
- Have more school administered programs (computer club, sports teams, drama club...).
- Replace portables with real classrooms
Which do you think will better contribute to education?It's just like the American (other countries aswell) war on drugs. You can never stop the supply as long as there is a demand. Spam will never be eliminated until it's not possible to profit from it.

Amazon also uses Mason. See here. Although, IIRC mod_perl is required for Mason.
I'm not sure children are human.
Not to split hairs but, the language makes all the difference in how a firewall is deployed.
1.) Use a firewall to allow necessary access from the exteranal network as your firewall should already be blocking everything.
Removing those repeated double words the auther laments about is exactly the kind of thing regular expressions are for.

You dial a wrong number on your phone and a local telephone carrier answers and begins to try and sell you long distance and local services.
