I think it's the Christian leaning most conservatives have.
They believe the earth and everything on it is here for them to use. Burning lots of fossil fuels is their god-given right. The fact that there might actually be repercussions to this might (just maybe) indicate that they cannot, infact, use all of earths resources however they please.
Just last night, my step mom went to the hospital for a neck problem. They did an xray, saw that she had "chip" broken off in her neck, and 4 hours later she had her MRI done to determine whether or not it was a threat to her spinal cord.
What the hell are you talking about? 4 hours is not months.

I was sick of spending my time fooling around with stupid little system things. I spend all day doing that at work, I don't need to waste time doing it with my desktop. So I picked the newest distro I could find (still like as close to bleeding edge as possible).
SuSE specific (I think); I don't know why they included things like RealPlayer and Acrobat considering how old they are, and that there are much nicer and less crashy incarnations of these in mplayer/xine and KGhostView (Although I understand there's probably licenseing problems with ram's and mplayer).
Both my monitor (Sun 17" Flat screen) and video card (r128) don't work quite right. The monitor wasn't recignized, so I entered in the -exact- values as was in the manual, and I still can't get a good refresh rate on the higher resolutions. Not a problem in Gentoo. Don't want to touch the XF86Config because SaX2 has warnings all over not to play with it. My video card doesn't do hardware acceleration even though I had it going in Gentoo.
Konq. also crashes consistently if I try to log into a Samba share. I've had to set my username and password in the configuration as the username to browse with. Which makes it very inflexible. Esp. when I need to use many different usernames throughout the day.
Not really SuSE's fault, but I hate KDE. Too many damn options, KMail is terrible compared to Evo. Hard to scan mail because the text is so close together, can't search the bodies of messages in IMAP, LDAP address books will crash KMail every once in a while and I don't care for the way it handles multiple identities.
KWallet also does a terrible job at remembering things, very hit or miss.
Little more nitpicky, I find qt redraws windows a lot more than gtk2 did.. Opening new tabs in Konq. does it and Kopete does it with it's message alert. Drives me nuts.
The KDE is my fault, I know I could install Gnome.
On the less negitive side (I like complaining), lots of updates coming in on my SuSE Watcher (like windows update). Most of them seem reliabilty related which makes me happy. KDE also feels incredibly fast. Even OpenOffice feels integrated and speedy.
Overall I'm still getting use to it. I'll definetly keep it for the long haul, even if I end up using Gnome. Nothing pises me off more now than trying to make my desktop work when I could be screwing around with -real- problems.
If you can get the URL for those movies from the actual website, post it, cause for some reason those work fine. It's just getting in through the front page that doesn't work. I was getting these at 65 k/s.
This would be the freedom kind of free. With the GPL, I am -not- free to sell it without releasing the source.

Nothing exciting about it.

I was adding on session vars to old code (Which, of course, was very large), and noticed half the new sessions weren't getting through. Spent more than 3 hours fighting with it every which way. Went on #php (OpenProjects), people told me it was bad coding on my part, you must be ridiculously stupid to mess up sessions (of course they didn't look at it), made me even more mad. Finally someone sent me the bug I've listed above.
What's even worse, is even after knowing it's a PHP bug, there were still very few workarounds (even less ones that were pretty).
In the end, it was decided by myself and a friend that "PHP is a fickle mistress".
If it's a trial piece of software, that I'm likely not going to keep around, I don't want to install it. Installing most programs spews files all over the place that the uninstall script often doesn't clean all up.
I will often go through the motions of getting a trial piece of software just in the faint hope of it being a stand alone executeable. (Although this is almost never the case with large software)
But it never is. I work for a small web development company that use to keep a development server on site that was used to let clients watch their site as it got developed. DSL was rarely ever down except for a few miuntes every month at odd times.
One tuesday morning the DSL just stopped working. Help desk phone lines were ringing busy, clients were mad, and we were pretty much helpless. When we finally did get through to someone at the help desk (the next morning) the person we talked to said it was planned network maintence. Network maintence doesn't happen tuesday afternoons. We were mighty pissed, espescially when this started happenning more and more often.
Long story short though, your ISP isn't really accountable like a hosting provider when it comes to availability. They don't care you were running a server off that DSL connection. Any home broadband is just too unreliable in my opinion.
If you wanted my advice, go find a small hosting provider that isn't mainly concerned with how many people they can fit on a stock RedHat machine.

I'm sure you're asking a limited sampling, but I buy several CDs every 6 months (OpenBSD) for me and all my friends. So counting all my CD's, I've spent $180 US on Open Source stuff. Whereas I've never spent a dime on a Windows OS.
I make a point to buy as many CDs as I can justify to support 'the project', and I'm sure that's the same story with a lot of other people.
I feel more guilt using an FTP version of my OS, that I don't own the CD for than I do using a "friend of a friend of a friends" copy of Win2k.
I love OpenBSD more than most people, (Shown Here and Here)
but I know of at least one remote SSH vulnerability
that led to a root exploit in any OpenBSD
version before 2.8. It bothers me greatly
that they'd put something I see as quite untrue on
their front page.
I know Theo probably couldn't care less, but recently there's been a few people running around talking about SMP on misc@ and smp@ which is a considerably more activity than usual. I just hope it keeps going. All I can offer is hardware.
Not to take away from any of the other BSD's, but OpenBSD is continuing to break new ground. With the advancements in the filesystem (some of which I don't believe are in any other BSD yet), and some honest efforts to get good SMP going, it honestly does just keep getting better.
I'll make a point to order enough CD's for me and my Linux friends.
Don't you find that when you do that you're never finished? I'm a bit of a perfectionist, and while I get complimented on my code and how well it works, I always seem to be putting in extra hours to keep from getting behind.
It just seems there isn't always time to make code that I'd want sold to me, or that's bug free. I don't know if that makes it acceptable to release buggy software however. Seems a bit of a grey area.
When all I can think about is that German guy in Office Space. No one told him he got fired... They just moved his desk to the basement, stopped paying him and took away his stapler.

Unless you're invited, they really don't want you to come.
Kaspersky is to blame, not Russians in general.

Some people need a solution -now-, not "later". Hammer isn't an option for those people. At all.

No one said you had to use PF, you can go compile IPF and use it on your 3.0 install, no ones stopping you.
