Exactly. Every tool has good and bad uses, though. Hammers pound in nails, or put holes in skulls. That doesn't mean we should outlaw hammers. It means we should just use them reasonably.
I get that. My point is that if you buy Linux compatible systems just like you buy Windows compatible systems, you don't have to worry about that. Get a system that is designed to have Linux on it, and you won't have to worry about the CLI and such. You install Windows raw on any machine like you did, and you run into issues with drivers and things like that, too.
The problem isn't that everything is named starting with a K. It's that almost, but not quite, everything is named starting with a K, so you have a sub-list alphabetically sorted at K inside of a larger alphabetically sorted list. If everything started with a K, it wouldn't be a problem;)
Unfortunately, that's because the ATI cards are going through some MAJOR development changes right now. 9.04/9.10, newer (2xxx and later) ATI cards won't work well for anything but 2D stuff. fglrx (the proprietary driver) is going away and is mostly unsupported on newer kernels, and they're making a new open-source driver. But that takes time. If you want something easy to use in the short term, get an Nvidia card or an ATI X1950 or so series card. If you don't mind waiting, about 6 months to a year from now the ATI drivers should "just work" like an Intel card currently does, no need to "try" to get them working.
Didn't you know? Bell only sells a web browsing "internet" connection. Other services aren't officially supported. Besides... who uses anything other than a web browser? Who cares if other stuff breaks?
That is awesome. Steve Bellamy and the Ski Channel just earned a TON of respect from me (and I live in Denver. That's worth something here.) I wish more companies operated that way. Rather... I wish more of the companies in the news operated that way... I think most businesses are relatively respectable.
Hate to break it to you, but almost ALL jobs are based on references. Very, VERY few are from merit only. The world is much more political and much less logical and empirical than many geeks like, or are able to understand.
The important thing is to realize and remember that this says NOTHING About your worth. It only says something about power structures.
A sense of entitlement and moral character are intertwined. You don't get someone with good moral character who believes they are entitled to something they haven't worked for, and vice versa.
Best way to find it is to have someone who knows how to program well do the interview. Simple as that. HR drones can't tell, a manager that can't program can't do it right, nobody except someone practiced in the art can tell whether someone's bullshitting or telling the truth about skills. Work ethic, that's another matter, but you'll have much more success hiring a competent programmer if you interview him with a competent programmer. Or at least have someone technical in the group of interviewers... I wouldn't want a programmer to be the ONLY gatekeeper;)
Sure. Go for it. That's exactly what "public domain" means. If you can get a copy of it, you can do whatever you want with it. Why do you think Barnes and Noble can sell old public domain books?
The point is that the license is not valid in the first place. Read the words he pasted into their... the AP is trying to assert copyright over what would otherwise widely be looked at as fair use. Assuming they have this right is the first step to losing the right to free speech.
What, you mean the one that they tried to buy ISO certification of? Yeah, that's something I'd trust my data to. "FormatLikeWord95" or whatnot is unacceptable in a document format.
I have saved documents in Word that I later (within minutes) cannot open again. Word may have nice features, but the file format that it implies is horribly broken and anti-user. I'll take a system with fewer features than Word but the confidence that I'll be able to get at the information again any day.
Naah. The recent change there was because they couldn't trademark "SciFi" because it was a generic term. They can trademark "SyFy" because of it's relatively unique spelling. They aren't trying to change their reputation.
Seconded. Every American I know (and I know many from coast to coast) knows what a bathroom is. It'd have to be just talking to people who find the British accent hard to penetrate. Hell, I've been around a lot of Brits and I sometimes still have trouble understanding them once they get going.
You went to suburban schools, I bet. Try going to a lower income or inner-city school. I've done career fairs at some of them, and there are a non-trivial number of kids that have absolutely no respect, and the sheer number of them makes it almost impossible to actually punish them. Not to mention that "punishment" is usually just getting them out of class, which is all that they want.
They suffer from a delusional, psychosomatic illness that needs treatment. Electrosensitivity itself is no more an illness than feeling pain from loud thoughts is.
What about the person in the next stall over who can hear it happening, but is too scared or possibly unable to directly render aid? Jesus... think for two seconds before you post.

Yet another reason to dislike Apple. I have no idea why people buy things from them. They don't care about their users, only their image.
That's like saying "That's the whore with the fewest VD's". It doesn't make it something you want.

Correlation sure as shit IMPLIES causation. It does not PROVE causation, though. If we didn't use correlation, we wouldn't get anywhere.

Fortunately it's not that hard to run a caching nameserver from a more authoritative source. I run one at home because I just don't trust Comcast's.

It's not an estimation tool if they charge you based on it. It's a sales tool. Or are the prices you see on Amazon just estimations as well?
I paid for the game. If they want to inject advertising into it, they should lower the price. This is Sony having it's cake and eating it, too.
