The Underpants Gnomes(UG) are the evidence for God!
There is no fossil record of UG's
The UG's share no DNA with any other living things
The UG's existence is independent of all natural and scientific laws and theories
Carbon dating of UG's shows that no UG's are more than a 6,000 thousand years old (there aren't any younger than 6,000 either, but that is beside the point)
The only way Underpants Gnomes can exist is through divine creation (through his noodle-ly wisdom or what ever).
They are the only known evidence for the existence of God.

It should be a good starting place for computational solutions to physical problems.
After all a story about a young man named Harry Potter fighting evil magical forces and creatures in order to save his family and friends appeared on the big screen a decade before JKR released her first novel.
It was a terrible movie and who knows if Rowling ever saw it. Her stories are almost ceratinly not influenced by it. But in the new DRM encrusted world of Hollywood a lawsuit could bring the entire HP franchise to a screeching halt while the Court case drags on for years. Lets hope that SCO or Nathan Myrvhold don't buy any Intellectual property from Full Moon Entertainment.
Strangely enough, one of the actors was Sonny Bono who went on to become a US Senator. Bono was a sponsor of the updated copyright laws now in place in The US. The Senate in the US is the equivalent of the House of Lords in the UK.
North Korea is also part of the "Axis of Evil". However they have WMD's and some pretty nasty long range missiles. They may not be able to strike The US, but they could devastate South Korea, Japan and Taiwan. We keep begging North Korea to please, pretty please, come to the negotiating table. No talk of invasion there.
Sadam complied with the U.N. inspections we demanded. Grudgingly but he complied. He ended his weapons programs and allowed us and our allies to control two thirds of his air space. (All of this had to be forced on him, but he complied).
So the moral of the story?
If you are an evil dictatorship, do not comply with The US and its allies. Build up your arsenal and become as powerfull and as dangerous as possible. The US only invades weaklings. The US begs for negotiations with the dangerous crackpots.
I believe Iran watched all of this unfold. The way Sadam and Iraq complied, and were rewarded with invasion. The way North Korea refused to comply and became more dangerous, and gets more and more aid on its terms.
This is why Iran has restarted its nuclear program.
The last three computers I bought came with Windows. None of these computers have Windows on them now.
Installing Linux is usually the first thing I do to a computer.
So while I've bought Windows a few times, I have not kept it.
How does Microsoft measure its user base? I see sales numbers fron Forrester and IDC, but couldn't MS publish actual numbers. You have to register Windows don't you? (I guess that doesn't count the cracked pirated versions).
I gues the real answer is that all of these methods are just eductaed guessing.
You are correct to doubt your memory. Ronald Reagan went on the largest spending spree of any president since FDR in WWII. We will be paying the interest on that debt for decades to come. Hopefully we will pay the principal off someday.
Remember that when politicians say things lik 'I didn't raise your taxes'.
If they increased the national debt, they increased your taxes. They may not have increased your tax rate, but they increased the amount you owe, as well as the amount of interest you will have to pay.
If you look at how Republicans and Democrats spend your money, I mean really spend not what they say they are doing, you will come to two conclusions very quickly:
You say that you believe the Bible to be wholly true. What about the contradictory parts? The parts where one or another part can be true, but both cannot?
For instance Genesis I, 24-27:
"24. And God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth after his kind"; and it was so.
25. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind; and God saw that it was good.
26. And God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth."
27. So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them."
So in Genesis I God makes Man and Woman at the same time, after making the plants and animals
Then in Genesis II, God takes a little rest on the seventh day and is bothered by something:
"1. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.
3. And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
4. These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5. and before every plant of the field was in the earth, and before every herb of the field grew; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground."
There was not a man to till the ground? What happened to the Man and Woman God created back on Day 6? Did God roll over in his sleep and crush them or something? I'm not sure, but the Bible says they were not around. Well it says there was 'not a man to till the ground', I guess we guys still do that kind of thing. You know we become real scarce when there's work to be done. Of course that would mean that God is not omniscient if it were so easy to skip out an him.
Oh, also notice that God in Genesis II is creating Man before there were any plants? In Genesis I God creates all of the plants on Day 3 and Man (and Woman) on Day 6. In Genesis II God creates Man (just man no Woman yet) first and then creates plants.
It cannot have happened both ways. One way or the other, but both cannot be true. The Bible cannot be wholly true. Which came first Man or plants? Only one order of events can be true, yet the Bible contains both versions. There is the possibility that neither accounts are true, but it is impossible for the Bible to be, as you say, 'wholly true'. The Bible is self contradictory. You must decide which part is true. If one of these accounts is true, then the other is false.
So, continuing with genesis II, we get to the part where God gets around to creating Man...
"5. and before every plant of the field was in the earth, and before every herb of the field grew; for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.
9. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
Both KDE and XFCE have been included in the test version repositories, so they should be in the final release.
I have not used Red Hat since version 4.2, but I think I'll give the live dvd a spin to see what they've changed since then. I'll probably stick with debian and Zenwalk as my main distro's though.
I think the Lanham Act deals with trademarks not patents, but IANAL.
However using unsupported claims to weaken competition could be a violation of anti-trust law.
Of course since Microsoft Just sold thousands of copies of Linux to Dell, they have distributed any possibly infringing material under the GPL. As the owner of that material it is legal for Microsoft to choose the distribution license, but Microsoft now has to abide by the license they have chosen.
"The deal between Microsoft and Novell also includes some marketing cooperation. Microsoft provides coupons for SUSE to companies, who then go to Novell to redeem the coupons and get their copy of the software. Those coupons procure the conveyance of lots of free software.
Our lawyers have seen the terms of the deal under NDA--unfortunately, they're still secret--but they're confident that Microsoft is already conveying GPLed software under this agreement. The coupons are the most direct proof; there is some other evidence to support that idea as well."
These 'coupons' are called coupons, but are not what most people would consider a 'coupon'. They don't discount the purchase of something from Novell, they are actually a license for a complete copy of Novell's SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. Microsoft is like that kid who comes to your door and is selling magazine subscriptions. You'll get the magazine from the publisher, but you pay the kid.
I've seen the mosquitos up there! You guys have to have a pretty well armed SWAT team with those things flying around. They could carry off a small child!
Martin Luther and thousands of others for criticizing the 'one true church' a few hundred years ago in Europe.
I was raised as a member of that 'one true church', and must shoulder the sins of my predecessors with shame. In the long run heavy handed tacticts won't work for religions, but it might do the job for Scientology.
I am starting to believe the Apocolypse will take place when the Scientologists and the Objectivists try to wipe each other out.
Apache should be able to continue to use the same license it is using now. The Apache 2 license takes a much stronger anti-patent stand than the GPL2, or even the GPL 3 license. This makes Apache 2 less compliant with other open source licenses.
Yes.
The point of using, so-called, nano-technology is to be able to disguise the devices as something normal. So why would they use the poppy coin?
Note to All contractors for US spying agencies: All the other normal looking coins are the nano-technologic spy devices.
Reading this article really made me ask one question. Why does the USA need so many spies in Canada, that they have to hire contractors to fill the need?
Most people don't realize how close a match you have to have to be infringing. You can write a story about a young wizard who fights evil to protect his family and friends from dark magical forces. That young wizard can even be called Harry Potter, and there will be no copyright infringement! Yes it was OK for J.K Rowling to write a story about a young magician named Harry Potter, even though Sonny Bono was in a movie a decade earlier with a young magician named Harry Potter. Sonny Bono did help alter copyright law, so it must be OK. Would he be considered a subject matter expert?
Otherwise, J.K Rowlings Harry Potter books, that came out 10 years after the movie Troll would all have to be taken off the shelves and re-worked.
You have to take these things with a grain of salt. The real fact is that everyone who lives next to Texas learns to hate Texas. Most Texans aren't too bad, its just that they won't stay put. They keep leaving Texas and bothering the rest of us.
:)
But seriously. Santa Ana won, and in the end The US got Texas.
Also remember that AT&T released most of Unix into the public domain by repeatedly publishing the source code to Universities without copyright attributions.
That was pre- sys V Unix, but Sys V is a derivative of the previous versions of Unix. Just because there is code in Sys V Unix, and The collective work of Sys V is copyrighted, does not mean that all parts are copyrighted. Some parts can be public domain.
Some of the early examples of outright copying SCOX showed under NDA turned out to be code confirmed as public domain in the AT&T v. BSD settlement.
SCOX has yet to show that they have registered copyrights in any of the code they say IBM has copied.

It could be a joke about copyright ownership.

Sonny Bono as Lord Voldemort?
You make a very good point.

Did you intentionally chnage the word hexagonal from the original article or was it a strange aouto-correct error?
If so, you need to ad the word hexagonal to your dictionary.
Otherwise, you have a very strange sense of humor.

For Years Microsoft has been neutral to OEM's. Could this move drive a further wedge between leading PC vendors and MS?
Is it a sign that Microsoft understands it cannot require OEM's to stop from selling alternate OS's and must enter the PC market itself?
Or is MS just licensing its brand name to go on the outside of the computer and making money for very little cost (something MS is good at)?

The 1906 Stanley brother's Rocket didn't burn coal. Very few steam cars did. The Stanley brothers used purified kerosene.
Today it would be called jet fuel, they just didn't have those kinds of jets in 1906. Heck the Wright brothers were still making bikes.
So the new vehicle is LPG, the old record holder was liquid fuel.
No coal.
Windows Marketplace had a link to CNET's Download.com site. So MS was not distributing.

They don't discount the purchase of something from Novell, they are actually a license for a complete copy of Novell's SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop.
