Yay! Space: 1999 — lunar retards and space-hippies! I love the bit at the opening where Landau looks to his right, and then Babs Bain swivels around towards the camera like a bloody statue on some rotating platform. And let's not forget Blonde Australian Bloke and Moustache Man, who seem to think you can solve everything by shouting!

Yeah, all my own work, with a little help from www.dictionary.com. Feel free to replace/sys = she's your sister with something less SFW if you wish.

On my NeXTStation, some of the things like ping are in/etc/.
GP said "threadmill". I interpret this to mean one of those new-fangled multi-threaded SPARC processors from Sun; then again, I hear they're supposed to be very energy-efficient, so I guess the guy yelling faster must be either just greedy or running Vista under emulation.
My main argument though is that guns should not be illegal, certainly not in so-called free societies. Criminals will get them if they want them, legal or not, in any country that is remotely open.
On that, I agree. Most things can become a deadly weapon (including the human body). Most "ban $THING" legislation I've seen in recent time I'd classify as reactionary, non-representative (often motivated by a highly vocal minority of victims of $THING and who therefore cannot be considered to have an objective viewpoint), and ill though-out. Unfortunately, it seems that responsibility for one's own actions is no longer in fashion at the Politburo.
In either case, the "problem" is that the inf for the drivers don't contain the right information to detect mobile chipsets, even though the drivers will work just fine on them. The "fix" is to hack the inf so that the installers will allow you to apply the drivers to your mobile card.
That's right. Just to add a bit on: I get the latest nVidia drivers working on my notebook by unpacking both the recent executable and the one on the CD-ROM supplied with the notebook with 7-zip, copying the.inf file across, and then running the setup utility.
Guns are an important part of maintaining a balance of power between the government and the people in a free society.
Yes, nice ideal. But explain to me: just how does an untrained, most likely unorganised public armed with hand-guns, rifles, shot-guns, a few machine guns and some gangsta rappers take on a government with an army and air-force and tanks and warplanes and rocket-launchers?
What distro are they going to use? As many as financially feasible? I can hear the Gentoo hordes clamouring already.
How old will this distro be?
How do I know it's been set up correctly?
What if I want a BSD?
Do we really want to let people loose on Linux who can't [be bothered to] install it themselves?
I use Linux more or less exclusively, but I'd never buy a machine with it preinstalled. I've seen how badly a computer supplier can botch a Windows install. Just ship the box blank and accept that some people know more about certain things than you do.
They've been in short supply ever since the cow jumped over the moon, which radiates mo-ons. Meanwhile, experimentalists at the Tevatron are still offering a reward for information on The Dish, who is suspected to have absconded with their only spo-on.
Careful now: profit/not-for-profit with respect to Qt is a bit more subtle than that. Trolltech's "free" Qt license is the GPL. This does permit selling derivative works, within the restrictions imposed by the GPL. You have to pay to license it for use in a non-GPL commercial project. Nevertheless, dual licensing is a good idea since it promotes freedom where it matters and helps developers and users in the Free Software world, and also rewards coders for their efforts when their work helps someone else turn a profit — and I think the thought of this really pisses off some companies out there.

I wonder if he has judicial ambitions.
Are there a lot of Sun Ra fans in Iran?
Oi! Quit Messiaen about with all those names!
Can this really be counted on, viz. the Millgram experiment?

Fuck you all.
We know best, and you know how to pay for it.
Sincerely,
HM Government.
No thank-you.

I read someone somewhere explain that "rap" is actually spelt with a silent "c".
No shit.
No, his wife had the stiff upper lip. Later, he got round to wondering what the hell he thought was doing in the first place.
Is it 1st April or something?
Um...

Yes they did.
