I would have figured it the other way around, as a non-named ID. Think about it: if you have an ID without a photo, somebody could easily steal that and claim to be you. But if you just had an ID with your photo and the note "this person has passed the driver's test in state/province X", with no other identifying information, that would be proof that you are licensed to drive, without actually identifying yourself.
Of course, it'll never happen. But it's a nice thought.
What are you talking about? That screenshot looks great. You should have been here 10 years ago when Netscape was the only browser for linux. Those were some ugly fonts.
It's even worse than that, because the "function" doesn't return any value. Sure, there's output, but the output doesn't "return" to the caller, to goes on to somewhere else.
Unix pipes are great for stringing commands together, but they're unidirectional, which is a pretty fundamental deficiency. Luckily, other forms of IPC are possible, which fixes the problem.

If you had a tub that contained all the urine you've ever pissed, it would weigh a lot more than 128 lbs, trust me;)
You can try this experiment yourself! Next time you have to take a piss, piss into a jar, weigh it (make sure you weigh the jar while empty first in order to get just the weight of the urine and not urine + jar), then multiply that weight by the number of days you've been alive.
You could also do a similar thing for:
all your hair
sweat
shit
snot
ear wax
dead skin
fingernails
And then you'd have a good idea of how much mass you've lost in your life time. Add that to how much mass you currently are, and that's how much mass you've gained, in total, during your entire life time;)
Immitating microsoft is mostly pointless because it's a moving target; you'll always be playing catch up, and as soon as you've perfectly copied them, they'll release a new version that breaks everything and then you've got more copying to do. It's really wasted effort and I hate to see good programming talent used for such futile efforts.
Just make the existing stuff better, don't worry about immitating microsoft, be innovative in your own right, and slowly migrate all your stuff away from windows.
My lifelong dream is to just have enough cash in the bank to quit my job and live on the interest. If I was about to come into a fat swack of cash, the last thing I'd be wondering about is how to spend it;)
By whatever random twist of fate, earth became a suitable planet for life, and life showed up on earth pretty early on (ie, it didn't take long for life to appear once the environment was suited for it). Yes, there are a lot of things that need to be exactly right, but it happened once, so it can happen again.
The only way that you can argue that it'll never happen again anywhere else is by intelligent design (it happened only once because god only did it once, and he's not going to do it again), but I don't buy that. By a random fluke, everything came together for earth and life appeared. The same thing will happen elsewhere.

We have a phrase for that in English, goes something like "Holy shit!"

What good is whitelisting? people will just sniff the packets to see which MACs are whitelisted, and then spoof that MAC address.
So much for the whitelist.

it would be funnier if the server was actually dead... it loaded fine for me.
So you are basically saying that in this country you cannot make fun of your government and your country?
No, you can still criticise the government, you just can't infringe somebody's copyright in the process.
Notice how it is the copyright holder that is doing the suing, not the American Government.
How does this compare to emacs? Emacs is an IDE that supports those languages ;)
I dunno, emacs is great. syntax highlighting, auto-indent, and being able to check my revisions in and out of RCS with two keystrokes is really nice.
Wouldn't it be nice if there were companies who paid people to develop open source? Nah, it'll never happen.
How is that surprising?
A) how many times do you see "Search Engine" written on google's website?
B) Does the title "Google" contain the words "search engine"?
C) How often do you see a link to google.com labelled "search engine"?
I suppose if you really wanted, you could organize a googlebomb to have google ranked higher for search engine, but I don't really see the point.

(The last version of Windows I owned legally was Windows 95 BTW ;^)
And the last version of Windows that I owned period was Windows 98. Oh, I've seen XP on my friends' computers, and at work, but that's about it.

Clearly, they've found the world's largest infantfish.
Out of curiosity, are you saying that Bitstream Vera is not good enough, or just that you've never heard of it?
Because I haven't seen an ugly font on my linux box in quite a while.
Nah, it's just ISF (improved slashdot fodder).
Yes!
;)
I leave it up to you to decide which question I was answering with that statement

What I can't afford is plane tickets to Germany and the time off work, you insensitive clod!
;)
I hear that! Plane tickets to germany (round-trip) costs me something like 80% of my life savings.

So then you have to wonder, what caused the abiogenesis on earth? And what's stopping it from happening on other planets?
