Am I really seeing a bunch of people getting excited over translucencies and shadows?
(Has Windows really had Translucencies and shadows since 1999?)
No, we're excited that there is a version of X-window that is progressing.
These latest enhancements aren't super exciting, but X.org has had a lot of enhancements added since it split off from XFree86 a short 9 months ago, and there are many more enhancements coming in the next few months.
I think that all major distros had adopted X.org over XFree86.
This is good news. It was difficult to bundle Tomcat previously because you Sun does not allow you to redistribute the SDK, but you could redistribute pieces of the JDK like javac, or tools.jar (I think they improved this situation in 1.4.2).
You would need to copy tools.jar or javac from the SDK to the JRE, repackage the JRE, modify the Tomcat startup script to use tools.jar and not depend on bin/jdb (which was not Redistributable).
to be able to show your mom where it was you were. those "stolen" atrifacts have contributed much much more to mankind and science than they would possibly have could while buried in a grave...
How does "show your mom" contribute to mankind and science?
How do you know that colonization was better then letting Egypt develop on their own?
Imagine if a horde of Egyptians invaded the United States and took the corpse of Thomas Jefferson, the wreckage of the Santa Maria, tons gold from Fort Knox and some prized possesions from the Smithsonian back to Egypt. Along the way they murdered, raped, pillaged, enslaved and suppressed your right to self-determination.
Along the way they built roads, schools, and brought Egyptian ideals to your people.
Would you be better off then if you were left alone?
I think you're right on. Egypt probably wants to do the dig, but on their own terms.
I would argue that the Egyptians in charge of such a dig are mostly composed of people who want to maintain their cultural heritage, and who also want the glory and maybe a bit of profit.
The Iraqis who robbed their own museums probably mostly just wanted the money and a piece of history for themselves.
But the French researchers are being denied access to the pyramid to test their theory.
Well, given that numerous cultural sites have been desecrated and priceless Egyptian artifacts have been stolen from Egypt by European and Egyptian "researchers" over the last couple centuries (and millenia), can you blame the Egyptian officals?
If the French researchers really want access to the pyramids, maybe they can petition the French, British and other governments to return some of the artifacts as a sign of good will.
Hey, scientific progress is great, but so is maintaining your cultural heritage.
It's not uncommon to see big advertisement stickers on city streets. They are often posted at the top and bottom of the escalators near the subway stations, where it's hard to avoid looking at them.
Have you seen the video? He must remain moving for the mechanism to print a message.
He's not blocking traffic more then any other vehicle on the road.
Now, if he was standing on the road while being interviewed by MSNBC, he'd be disrupting traffic. But still, bicyclists do that every day, including Bicycle officers, and usually the police don't consider it a problem worth arresting for.
Otherwise, that wonderful anonymity we all enjoy could let Professor DNC or Doctor GOP do the talking for either candidate.
But not very unusual.
During the Presidential Debates, the questions will be given out beforehand so that the Professor and Doctor can train the candidates on the correct answers, correct posture, correct voice inflections, etc.
We wouldn't want either candidate to accidently say anything unscripted now, would we?
Was a high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted said: Private Property,
But on the back side it didn't say nothing
God blessed America for me.
As I went walking, I saw a sign there;
And on the sign there, It said, 'NO TRESPASSING.'
But on the other side, It didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.
There's at least one instance, "Amish Paradise", where the original artist (Coolio) denied permission and Weird Al went ahead with it anyway.
As it turns out, several Amish communities were also horribly offended by the song, but it's against their beliefs to sue him, so they haven't done anything about it.
The Amish didn't write the song, so on what grounds would they sue? Being offended by a song has nothing to do with copyright law.
Stand next to the router and simulate rough conditions...... yank out the wire a couple times.... play kick the router.... simulate lightening by plugging a network cable into a 220V plug... paint sunspots on your face and spew out some EMF pulses like the sun.
While most nurses practice on each other, sticking a needle into a patient adds some exciting variables. The nurses have a good idea what's going on and some time to psychologically prepare.
And most nurses don't fear needles as much as the patients:)
She was probably nervous, which made her a shaker.
Most nursing and medical students will tell you that learning how to insert a needle is very stressful. Veins can be hard to find on most people (especially overweight people), it is usually taught towards the beginning of your training and is required for many tasks later on, you have a very attentive audience-- any mistake will certainly be noticed by the patient or the doctor, and nobody likes needles.
My wife is a labor and delivery nurse. Imagine having to learn how to insert a needle into brand newm, wiggly newborn with teeny-teeny veins.
Yeah, back in my day we didn't have fancy electronic address books.
We only had paper address books. If I ran into a stranger, I would take my address book and smear it across his face one page at a time. If the ink rubbed off, then I knew they were a friend of one of my friends, and I could trust 'em.
And then we could drink beer together. But we didn't have carbonation back then so we used straws to blow bubbles. There wasn't any plastic back then neither, so we had to find a swamp and cut some reeds...

Must be your local station. It's playing several times on several regular old broadcast TV stations here (SF Bay Area).
The appCodeName and version may be the same, but the rest of the User-agent string is different.
can run on straight sun JRE, not SDK.

Tape over your eyes.
Cheaper, effective.
True, but they didn't hold him for riding his bike on the sidewalk. They held him for using chalk to vandalize the sidewalks.
Either way, it's a petty charge.

Not quite "printing" but it's close.

Maybe you can add some features, recompile the source and name the game "Duke Nukem' Forever".

Woody Guthrie had many alternative lyrics for "This Land Was Made For You And Me". A couple of them are:
Was a high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted said: Private Property,
But on the back side it didn't say nothing
God blessed America for me.
As I went walking, I saw a sign there;
And on the sign there, It said, 'NO TRESPASSING.'

$80 with a $30 rebate
(Meaning it was $50)
Last week I found several non-refurbished, non-rebate single-format DVD burners for $30 (without shipping). Benq and other brands I didn't recognize.
Cheapest dual format that I found was $80 with a $30 rebate without shipping (Toshiba))
But still, the cheapest
Although the dual format seems to add more to the cost.
The cheapest DVD+/-RW is about $20 more then then cheapest +RW or -RW when I was looking last week.
I'm curious, why are you comparing Mepis vs Knoppix? Because of the hardware detection?
Knoppix is amazing because it's a Linux distro on a bootable CD.
Mepis looks like yet another installable Linux distro.
Perhaps they should have had two articles to cover the two different topics?
You cannot promote democracy and torture prisoners at the same time.
