Why would they be considered quacks? The opinion that solar radiation creates ozone is the most widely accepted theory of its formation, as far as I know. If you're trying to imply that the rate of ozone creation is greater than the rate of its destruction at the time of greatest CFC concentration in the upper atmosphere (not necessarily at the "time of greatest CFC use"), you'd have to supply evidence for that.
You can feel free to believe what you want. Unfortunately your skepticism is not based in scientific fact based on experimental evidence, but in idle speculation or what is "most likely" to your world experience. As I said, with that approach and no evidence supporting your opinion you will find it extremely difficult to convince anyone who analyzes your opinion reasonably.
Yeah. I much prefer 'find / -exec cat {} >>/allmyfiles'. Then you can just grep that to see if what you're looking for is in any of your files. I haven't figured out how to get the filename back from it though, and also, the more and bigger files you have, the bigger the index gets for some strange reason. I haven't figured out those issues yet. I'm also being completely facetious, so shame on you if you've read this far in earnest.
Please provide experimental evidence that supports evolutionary theory. It sounds nice, and makes sense, but until testing it produces evidence showing its correctness, it is just another theory.
They played the same trick on us with CFC's and the "loss" of the ozone layer (which for some odd reason was centered around the magnetic poles). That turned out to be a load of crap too.
Oh really? Please feel free to link to the debunking. You're not going to find any, because whether your worldview likes it or not, CFCs _are_ greenhouse gases and _do_ destroy ozone. I'm sure you'll argue that it is pure coincidence that the ozone was thinnest at the poles and over Australia during the time of greatest CFC use by industrial society. You'll point to the fact that the ozone layer seems to be repairing itself today as "proof" that CFCs really weren't that big a deal.
Whether you believe humans generate enough CO2 today to cause global warning is irrelevant. (I'm sure you'll retort with something politically attractive but blatantly false like one volcanic eruption produces more CO2 than the whole US in a year, or that the greenhouse effect is made up by scientists looking for funding.)
Ecopolitics of today does not change the fact that the "alarmists" and "pseudoscientists" were right about CFC compounds and their effect in the upper atmosphere, and you'd best get off that horse if you expect anyone to pay attention to your opinions on today's global enviroment issues.
How about blaming the federal government for not funding schools?
How about blaming the federal government for maintaining the unconstitutional Department of Education, robbing the states of resources, instead of allowing the states to be responsible for funding their own public education systems according to their individual social needs?
GPL uses "free" the same way Iraq used democracy. You are fee to use the code as long as you do it "our" way.
Your sig is the most retarded statement I've ever seen. Obviously you are unaware that the GPL is not a EULA. You also seem to be unaware that using the GPL is just like publishing your work under any other copyright license, it doesn't assign your copyright over to some borg-like collective.
The FCC regulates and is thus influenced by moneyed interests. Moneyed interests don't care about what is allowed or not allowed; they show what gets them the most viewers. If the FCC takes the words of these interest groups to heart and restricts what the moneyed interests can broadcast, they'll just find the next largest demographic and target them instead.
So I doubt this mass spamming of the FCC will accomplish anything in general. The only thing that talks to the networks is ratings. Regulation gets worked around due to the flexible nature of media.
I don't suppose these folks realize they can change the channel or block material they deem inappropriate via the V-chip stuff built into most TVs and cable boxes these days? Actually, they probably do realize it, but are either hungry for control, or hungry for recognition of their insignificant little opinions on "the way things should be".
I think you'd best be worrying about an extraterrestrial object colliding with our planet before you worry about the Sun burning out. We have close encounters with objects on a regular basis, whereas the sun won't be exploding for another 5 billion years or so...
Actually, it seems like they are trying to kill off two CPU architectures (PA-RISC and Alpha) as well as two Unixes (HP-UX and Tru64), all so that they are less distracted from betting the farm on Itanium and Linux/Windows. It's rather a shame that the years of effort and innovation that went into those architectures and systems are due to be wasted in such a tepid manner.
Nope. I was running MySql in a non-transactional mode
In other words, a speed hack. (Look at ACID)
Do you think every program that isn't your personal favorite must be "bad"?
That's a non sequitur. Why would I generalize my MySQL experience to other databases that I've never used? Don't try to shift the blame for MySQL suckage onto its critics.
In the case that it really was sabotage and not deliberate endangerment, wouldn't the onus be on UC to find out who was responsible so that they can be brought to justice? Why is sabotage being used as an excuse?
Perhaps a more likely conclusion to draw from your "experience" is that your MySql tables were on the part of the disk that crashed and the Postgres tables were not.
No, a more likely conclusion to draw is that the MySQL tables were partly in memory at the time of the crash, while the PostgreSQL tables on disk were kept in a consistent, recoverable state.
Do you think MySQL has speed benefits only because MySQL developers are so much better than all other RDBMS developers, and not because of speed hacks that put your data at risk?
Do you think robust RDBMS design is just dumb luck?
1. A.deb is simply a tarball. If you didn't know that, then you could simply download the package's source tarball.
2. The distribution of Debian using the new installer is not released yet. Once it is released, the documentation will be placed on the main web site.
3. If you really want to read the installation guide for the old installer even with the upcoming release pending, you could go to the amazingly hard to find link http://www.debian.org/doc and click on "Debian Installation Manual".
If Microsoft integrates a browser with a file manager, or hints at integrating a media player or anything else in the OS, everyone cries foul, so why is that considered good practice in the major *nix environments?
Easy. Because product bundling and product tying are not equivalent, and because KDE does not have a disproportionately large market share which would cast even more suspicion on such actions.
No, he's talking about BSD jails which are a better chroot. But it's a pointless comment anyway, since linux vservers do the exactly same thing and even better.
The Commodore SID is a waveform synthesizer. The SNES sound chip is a sampler. They are two different classes of synthesizers. The SNES sound chip has the opportunity to sound much more realistic given good samples. But this doesn't mean it is "better" in any way than SID - they are incomparable because they are fundamentally different. For example, what if I don't like sounds that sound like real instruments? Listen to some of the C64 compositions. Would they all have sounded better with real instruments?
Now if you were really cool, you could create a SID instrument, sample it, and play it on the SNES chip. Hmm.
You can cross out undesirable terms in a contract. Usually the hiring drone doesn't even blink an eye if they really want you to work there. They want the default case to be that they own you, if you don't take the time to read the document and disallow them from doing so.
Well the "hardware detection daemon" would be hotplug. But it isn't really doing any hardware detection. It just responds to hotplug events generated by the kernel when e.g. a USB thingie is inserted (or firewire, or a PCI card, or a SATA drive, or a CPU...) and runs scripts for those events.
Apparently people are still running archaic distributions that haven't been introduced to hotplug yet, hence all the complaining and half-baked "solutions".
Sorry for the posturing in my previous post, I was reading BSD fanatacism into your post that wasn't there.

Hmm, never noticed the '-mount' or '-xdev' options?
Dumbass. grep foo /dev/hda is a much better method, because you don't need the intermediate file.

Enduring Renewal + Ashnod's Altar, anyone?
Matrox cards are not even completely open source. 3D rendering requires a binary-only microcode.
