Intel's optimizations affect optimization for AMD and other architectures not one whit. If Intel makes their stuff works better with Linux, or makes Linux work better with their stuff, nobody is harmed, and Intel's customers gain. AMD, HP, Sun, whoever, will have an incentive to make optimizations for their architectures too.
You're describing the way the system works now, not how it's supposed to work.
The whole point of a "jury of his peers" is to be a check on the government. Government agents (prosecutors, judges, legislators, etc) cannot deprive you of life, liberty, or property without running it past twelve normal citizens. That's huge, and we've forgotten all about it.
The link of the OP has some data about how nullification was viewed up until the late 1800s. Worth reading.
This is a classic example of a system propping itself up. Combine these instructions with government education, and there's no hope. One of the key reasons to have a jury is so that they can judge the law as well as the case!
That's my biggest complaint about Ubuntu: the name is so stupid. What a load of touchy-feely crap! At least other Free Software names are either random, or named for somebody, or are just there to sound cool. People understand that.
But try to tell people that they don't mean anything individually, and inundate them with flower-smelling, pot-smoking hippy crap, right in the title of the OS, and they don't go for it.
One would think that PayPal / Amazon would be scrambling to implement something like this. I know if I were in their shoes, I'd be livid that these scammers are using my good name to steal from my customers. But they don't actually seem to care very much... Maybe it's like free advertising.
SPF, I think, is a great idea. And it can be implemented gradually. The receiving server doesn't have to simply drop messages without SPF; that's just one input to that decision.
As more and more people put SPF into their DNS, the punishment for a message not having it can increase. In turn, then, more and more people put SPF into their DNS.
That's how I see this issue, too, and it's a viewpoint I've rarely seen elsewhere. This is a great example of federalism at work.
What's weird is that it was the lefties who don't care about the Constitution who voted not to interfere with the land grab, and the conservatives who voted to stop it.
I guess "conservative" doesn't mean what it used to; now they just vote for what they think is right.
The South offered to pay full compensation for all federal facilities with its borders. Lincoln and Seward strung them along for weeks, all the while planning to force the issue at Sumter in order to provoke war. Sure enough, in the middle of negotiations, an armed naval convoy shows up, in violation of all the promises Seward had made.
So the South took the fort. Shots were fired. Zero Yankees were killed. They were all allowed to return home, and did so.
Even after the event, and in fact throughout the war, the South was looking for peace and to buy out the federal presence in the region.
maybe we can work something out. You try to kill me while we're making a deal, well then, prepare to fight, hombre.
The states were members of the union at their own pleasure, up until 1865. They did not surrender their sovereignty to join, they delegated. They could take it back at any time their citizens chose.
Everybody's complaining about you being a Utopian-ist (ugh, sorry) for suggesting this, and that it would quickly degrade into simple bribery. Maybe they're right, but that doesn't change the fact that campaign finance laws are unconstitutional, plain and simple.
But the real problem is the federal government itself. The Founders didn't raise this issue because they set up a system where the states delegated a few, specific tasks to the federal government. It didn't (and shouldn't) matter who holds office, particularly, as long as he's competent to do the job.
Today, when the federal government takes power and treasure from us whenever it wants, recognizing no limits to its own authority, it does matter. And that's the problem.
I found this amusing, along the lines of "there are those who call me.... Tim."
Seriously though, I thought he had some great things to say about professionalism in IT. We all need to absorb and remember this:
Customers need to be given control of their own data - not being tied into a certain manufacturer so that when there are problems they are always obliged to go back to them. IT professionals have a responsibility to understand the use of standards and the importance of making Web applications that work with any kind of device.
Teachers say that because encyclopedias are too good; kids would get all the answers in one place and they're done. They limit encyclopedia use not because they're worthless, but to handicap the student.
Its kinda lame to take stock RHEL and recompile it. I can't see how the CentOS team is at all passionate about a movement that boils down to recompiling the latest release of someone else's work. At least add something of value...
Recompiling somebody else's work? That's what most distributions are. CentOS, Whitebox, et al can be passionate about accomplishing their goal, which is a freely available RHEL compatible distribution. Why should all that Free Software be hidden behind massive license fees?

We know a hell of a lot more about ODF than we do about .doc, and that hasn't slowed it down.

Could I run it on, say, a Xen instance?

Looks like the shoe's on the other foot here.
I can accept that you and I disagree about this. But how do you justify coming down and trying to kill me over it?
