Funny I don't remember the 2nd giving you the right to bear RPGs and IEDs.
1) Nor does it withhold the right. The simple fact is that it does not mention any particular types of "arms". The 2nd Amendment doesn't "give" anybody any rights. It prohibits the federal government from infringing on a right asserted to exist naturally. The distinction matters. The entire constitution is a document limiting what the federal government can do, not "allowing" citizens certain rights.
3) If civil war breaks out, it won't matter much if ownership of weapons is infringed. The fighters will acquire weapons the same way insurgencies in Iraq, Afghanistan and countless other places have; the same way drug lords do. It is the attempted criminalization of law abiding citizens in a time of domestic peace which is offensive.
Except that classically nobody in their wildest imagination would have ever had an issue with a private individual marking up his own copy of a book for his own use ("making a derivative work" in scary-talk), or xeroxing or typing his own copy of a borrowed magazine article for his own use. Is there ANYONE who hasn't done both of these - with zero expectation of consequences and complete confidence he is not doing anything wrong?
Modifying the firmware in your own phone for your own use is a perfect analog to this.
A small bunch of greatly outnumbered, pretty much untrained guys with AKs, RPGs, and IEDs have given (and still are giving) bloody hell to U.S. forces overseas, smart guy. The feds have to get out of those vehicles to make the people do, or stop doing, anything. It's all about commitment.
OK, I'll correct you. You are wrong. You don't have to compile everything from source. Yes, you can "make install" your packages from ports source, but you can also "pkg_add -r" your packages from what amounts to a binary repository. Do understand that there is no update command to update binary packages, however. If not compiling from source, you are expected to "pkg_delete" the old version and then "pkg_add -r" the new version. They are in the process of introducing a new, more full-featured binary package management system called "pkg", but the transition is going to be messy.
The answer to your other question should be obvious. There is no distro of any OS that will work with "ANY" hardware.
Nazi: "I order you to sign this non-disclosure form, or you will be sorry!" Subject: "OK" Nazi: "Good. Now you are expelled." Subject: "You forgot to tell me I would be sorry no matter what I did."
Subject's original response should have been "Fuck you, Nazi".
Aren't violations of contracts (like ToS) subject to civil law instead of criminal law?
A law, duly enacted, which makes it a felony to violate such ToS, makes criminal procedure apply. That law has to be fixed, and then that particular violation of contract will revert to the normal civil procedure.
Mandrake's urpmi paralleled yum, not rpm. Just like SUSE's yast. Both used the same bottom layer as Redhat: rpm. The layer running above rpm is the one that does automatic dependency handling. It's like apt vs dpkg on Debian, Ubuntu, et al.
I was very impressed with boxed Mandrake (later Mandriva, later Mageia) quite a few years ago when it was still a French product built by people who knew what they were doing. I liked it largely because of urpmi (I don't think Redhat even had yum back then) and a good centralized GUI system for config. I then found boxed SUSE impressive a bit later when it was still a German product built by people who knew what they were doing. Again the package manager (yast) and centralized GUI system for config was ahead of everybody else. They both seem really shaky today in their present non commercial form.
Not sure what the question is, but CentOS ver x, Scientific Linux ver x, PUIAS ver x, Fermi ver x are for all practical purposes each IDENTICAL to RHEL ver x. Not quite as sure about ClearOS and Oracle EL
RHEL 6 will have: * full security patches, bug fixes, streamed minor releases, new hardware support, and some software enhancement up to the middle of the 6th year; * full security patches and bug fixes through the end of the 10th year
So there is absolutely no reason to sweat it until at least 2016 and possible 2020. I do keep my hand into FreeBSD a bit to monitor progress and keep an eye out for any signs of the creeping crud that is starting to hit linux distros hard. At some point I will make an informed decision on whether to jump ship based on overall merits and demerits.
Now, RedHat, please do not include GNOME 3 in RHEL 7. Use MATE or something. But please, for the sake of people who use your platform as a TOOL and not a TOY, keep GNOME 3 out!!
Bad news for you. It is well known that RHEL 7 *will* use Gnome 3 for the default supported desktop. Unless they really break with tradition, KDE will also be an option. Beyond that, you'll have to resort to third party repos.
And it's hardly a surprise. Good god, man, Red Hat is the prime force *behind* Gnome 3. Oh yeah, another piece of crap news: the systemd abortion is going to be in there, too.
When RHEL 6 reached EOL, I sure as hell am going to be looking very seriously at bsd for my servers.
Losing your home, let alone all your possessions, is a horrific thing to go through, no matter what the process of loss is: nuclear accident, hurricane, bankruptcy. I believe it is a more devastating loss than the one you have when you reach a certain age and the truth of your own mortality comes into full focus. Losing everything the day your own light goes out forever, there is a sense of loss in the anticipation, but there is no "you" to miss anything afterwards. Losing all your "stuff" on the other hand is the hurt that just keeps hurting.
Do you feel at all silly for claiming that Nazi is not an acronym?
An acronym is an abbreviation formed from the initial components in a phrase or a word. These components may be individual letters (as in CEO) or parts of words (as in Benelux and Ameslan). - Wikipedia
A word (as NATO, radar, or laser) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a compound term. - Merriam Webster online.

The statement was poorly worded. What is not possible is making an evacuated spherical shell of any available engineering material, with a mass no greater than the mass of the air displaced, strong enough not to collapse under atmospheric pressure.
I'll give you a hint. For any available engineering material, the shell would have to be so thin in order to be buoyant, that it would it would instantly crumple due to lack of structural stability.
I know its barely theoretically possible to make a hollow titanium sphere that is strong enough to hold a vacuum, barely, so it'll float
Assuming you're talking about a spherical shell of titanium, evacuated inside, the whole with a mass no greater than the mass of air displaced, and which can withstand an external absolute pressure of one atmosphere, no it is not possible. Decidedly not.
You could as well support that MR-16 light with a pair of fine cotton threads. What you couldn't do is POWER it via the threads, as you can with these new type threads.
These are not resource reserve estimates. They are estimates of the abundance of various ELEMENTS, a large part of the total for most of them being tied up in various chemical compounds. They are of scientific interest and make no claim to quantify the ease of isolation, extraction and purification.
There's a fixed amount of carbon in the world - much greater than of any metal, but still fixed.
Incorrect as to the amount, actually (see Table 3). Carbon is WAY down the list.
31.9% of earth's mass is iron 27.9% oxygen 16.1% silicon 15.4% magnesium (we're already up to 91.3%) (10 others left out; none of them over 2% each) 0.073% carbon
There is more titanium and more cobalt than there is carbon!
Guess you will have to always be puzzled. The rest of us know damn well to look in the filth and scum for the evil pricks who ultimately triggered the act.

The entire constitution is a document limiting what the federal government can do, not "allowing" citizens certain rights.
2) Small arms fire will do quite nicely in the absence of RPGs and IEDs, if case you didn't notice. So far this year [Sep 2012] more than 50 coalition troops—most American—have been gunned down by Afghan police or soldiers, or nearly one out of every seven coalition fatalities. That is gunfire, not RPGs or IEDs. Rifle fire can penetrate a kevlar helmet, and not every part of the body (the face and the legs containing the femoral arteries, for example)
3) If civil war breaks out, it won't matter much if ownership of weapons is infringed. The fighters will acquire weapons the same way insurgencies in Iraq, Afghanistan and countless other places have; the same way drug lords do. It is the attempted criminalization of law abiding citizens in a time of domestic peace which is offensive.
You think so, do you?
Except that classically nobody in their wildest imagination would have ever had an issue with a private individual marking up his own copy of a book for his own use ("making a derivative work" in scary-talk), or xeroxing or typing his own copy of a borrowed magazine article for his own use.

Would you mind repeating that in English and without the misconceptions and non sequiturs?
The hell they do.
We can't because shitty abortions like Gnome 3 and Unity make it almost impossible to get to them.

It blew the hell out of me when I found out.

If you don't mind, what is the figure in GPa? Because I don't find any article with the specifics which is not behind a fucking paywall.

They also are set up in a system where they virtually never have to bear the consequences of their screw-ups and overreaches.
