Resume doesn't work for corrupted files. The idea is to to be able to replace the corrupted part quickly. Thats not the main reason though. The main reason for splitting the files is that multiple people FXP files to an site from different sources at the same time (called a race), and this is only possible when it the release is split up.
The thing is that the sites they are FXPing between are fast enough that it's not worth comming up with a more complicated system. It takes just a few seconds to send a 15mb file.
In theory this shouldn't be the case with IQ tests. They are not supposed to measure learning as much as cognative ablity. That said school is good thinking practice, besides being a place of learning. This could lead to a difference in IQs between those that went to school and those that did not.
Why not just create a blanket license which says for what purposes the Linux trademark is allowed to be used, and be done with it. No need to charge companies for it, if, as Linus says, it isn't about the money. It seems to me this would satisfy the requirement that Linus police his trademark.
I agree with most of this, but I get the sense from the end of your post that you are passing your own moral responsiblity to the Japanese. There may be every reason in the world the US DID nuke Japan. You've listed some good ones. It does not follow, though, that the US did the right thing.
The evil of the government is no excuse for us not to do everything we possibly could to avoid killing civilians. As I'm sure you learned in kindergarden, "two wrongs don't make a right." We did not have to sink to their level. What some japanese did does not reflect on all of them. Many Americans have done evil things, but that does not make all Americans evil.
Well then perhaps we should have used that as leverage to get them to surrender as opposed to nuking them. But of course, we could have gotten a conditional surrender anyway. Truman just wanted to send a message to Stalin.
I don't look at it that way. I would prefer to minimize civilian deaths on both sides before minimizing soldier casualties on my own. I realize many of the civilians (though by no means all) contribute to the war effort, but this is not really an excuse. They are not the ones dropping the bombs, firing the bullets, etc. And what about the children? They weren't contributing.
I saw that too but that was later. That was when they actually had their technology guy reporting on it. In the beginning though, when they had their business reporter trying to answer questions about it it was pathetic. Wolf Blitzer was telling this guy on the air, "Press control alt delete." Pretty funny stuff though.
DaniWeb has a rather angry blog post about this as well. I watched some of the coverage on CNN myself. It was pretty entertaining. Nobody had any idea what they were talking about.
I wasn't really that serious, but you are misinterpreting Taoism. Non-doing is not synonymous with doing nothing. One who practices non-doing acts without getting in his own way. Lao Tzu does not advocate ignorance, but a different kind of truth. All that said, I mostly posted the quote to see how it would get modded. I don't much like the connections people make between eastern philosophy and quantum mechanics. They tend to misinterpret both.
I know, and I must admit the connections some try to draw between eastern mysticism and physics annnoy me to no end for their oversimplification. I don't take my own post seriouusly. I just thought I'd say it.
I wasn't completly serious. It's true, I haven't RTFA, though I probobly will later. I was just pointing out that the concept of unlearning is not a new one.

You could just use winrar.
I would certainly read (or listen) more that way.

I would say as a rule podcasts are not newsworthy, unless they are recorded by someone perticularly noteworthy, or they are particularly popular.
How is this newsworthy again?
So true. Seriously, why is slashdot advertising someone's podcast?

It killed women, children, and other civilians in place of soldiers though. This is unacceptable.
Or you think with your penis?

Because Telstra sucks as a service.

or it may be that last months figures were too high, and this is a correction.

One would hope so.

Actually, you can drag and drop entries between columns. This is practically google's start with a different skin.
