How can you say these things with a clear conscience? You're either misinformed or attempting to pull off one helluva a bald faced lie!
By not being a Muslim, Iranian, Jew, American, etc. I consider myself pretty impartial so it is possible for me to step over your sensitive toes.
Oh really? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah_of_Iran [wikipedia.org] - "The Hezbollah, or Party of God, (also HizbAllah or Hizbullah) is an Iranian movement formed at the time of the Iranian Revolution to assist the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini and his forces in consolidating power."
"For the Islamist Shia Lebanese militia/political party/social services provider, see Hezbollah."
Yep, that's right - they are different!
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/18/world/africa/18iht-iran.2232363.html [nytimes.com] - "On Tuesday, Iran's rhetorical threats against Israel and its unswerving embrace of Hezbollah continued."
You could have quoted an article from 2009 to show that it is just a rhetoric from its unpopular regime - a part of "west is bad" - which is what I was saying.There is no proof of *actual* support of Iranian regime to Hezbollah. Iran is predominantly Shia while rest of the Arab is predominantly Sunni, and they both think the other one is a "kafir". Here, for example: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8149014.stm "Iran has executed 13 members of a Sunni rebel group blamed for a spate of attacks in the south-east of the country, Iran's state news agency says." I could produce a citation for myself from Economist, but unfortunately I am not a subscriber and cannot access archived articles. But that's ok, facts are not important.
http://www.iranfocus.com/en/terrorism/exclusive-terrorist-training-camps-in-iran-05956.html [iranfocus.com] - London, Feb. 27 – Iran Focus has obtained a list of 20 terrorist camps and centres run by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
You mean this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran_Focus "Critics state that the website is one of the web outlets of the MKO, a group identified as a terrorist organization by USA, Canada and European Union. Some say that the MKO uses Iranfocus.com, Iranterror.com and other websites to advocate its position, rather than present objective and accurate news reports.[2][3]"
This is why I wrote non-American. Guess I should have written non-British, non-Israeli and non-Iranian too. The increased rhetoric against Iran since 2006 has been much discussed over rest of the Europe. This article http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?c=JPArticle&cid=1170359771711&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull in 2007 shows Hezbollah leader admitting Iranian support. But this was also found out to be just chest-thumping with no facts. But who needs facts when you have a nuclear bomb.
And btw, I am Hindu, and have lived through bomb attacks in my home city - unlike most Americans. One such bomb was blasted in Mumbai last year by terrorists trained in "nuclear power" Pakistan.
Last I checked Iranians weren't training terrorists. And it is well known that Iran has actually not supported Hezbollah, contrary to popular American rhetoric. Actual case study shows that Iran is not anti-Israel, but anti-USA, and its current unpopular regime uses "west is bad". Iranians are not suicidal virgin seekers. The real reason is that Israel is at odds with middle east, and cannot see another rising power.
Unfortunately, religious zealots aren't all that sane, and 72 virgins can seem pretty tempting when your wife is a cow wearing a big black bag.
There is no point arguing for Indians on a H1B related thread. A lot of these people here have lost their jobs and are too disgruntled and spending their time on Slashdot while applying for other jobs. Give them a break:)
PS: Last time somebody was claiming how putting CVs of some people beneath everyone else's, because they belonged to Indians, was not racist. So, well, chill out and enjoy the show:)
How is this informative? Interesting/Insightful may be, for people who already know what is being referred; but for ignorant people like me - where is the "information"?
Re:I wonder if Cygwin really has much of a future

Cygwin 1.7 Released
·
· Score: 1
Running vim under xterm is awesome. And without using 1 thousand fifteen zillion megabyte of memory to run andLinux...
I have tried almost everything and always come back to cygwin. Virtualbox takes care of the remote cases.
Personally, I am not too excited about v1.7, since I had pretty bad experiences with the beta as late as 2-3 months ago.
Is MS paying News Corp to get "de-indexed" from Google? Or is it paying to get exclusively indexed from Bing.
If it is latter, it makes sense. If it is formet, then what is to stop Google from creating a shadow search engine which then "licenses" its index to Google?
"Should the defaults be targeted towards home users or corporate desktop considering the short lifecycle of Fedora and the target audience? I am not sure there are corporate deployments but wouldn't they be heavily customized their desktop deployments and kickstarting it anyway?"
I cannot stress that up. For something so silly and simple, it is addictive as anything can be. Countless number of times I have started to play it for 15 minutes, and ended-up playing it for hours.
And whoever did the music for v1 and v2, you are a great person (and deserving of my money when I have it).
It is anything but similar. * That article was about taking picture of big but fragile molecules, even though atoms have been pictures before with ease. * This article is about even detailed picture of atoms.
See, as I said, to each on its own. I like my games (AOE 2 and SimCity 4). I stay on Windows. But you cannot complain about things that are not officially supported. Considering how old AOE 2 is (1999), it theoretically should run, but it simply doesn't.
Yep, I never tried Wubi though. Might be problematic, I can understand.
See, for any serious work, it becomes incredibly important for me to work on something UNIX-like. Windows just hampers me everywhere. I would like to buy Mac one day, but they are too expensive and too locked down - not to mention the lack of games.
I personally do not like Ubuntu - I install minimalistic debian and FVWM. Never had any trouble.
"It fucked up my XP on a fine, fine day..." I don't really know what do you mean by that. Are you sure you didn't install ubuntu over WinXP? I don't know how else it could "fuck" anything else, since it doesn't even *touch* your WinXP partition. (Rest assured, if you install any version of Windows, it WILL fuck up your Linux).
"it did NOT play Company of Heroes or any of the other games i own". I am sure you are "not a technically-challenged moron".
Btw, I personally almost never boot into Linux - WinXP + Virtualbox + Cygwin are just too good. Everyone has their own preferences, and there is nothing wrong with liking Windows. But you are really coming off as a troll here.
Do you know what are the engines driving Need For Speed games? The main three I am interested in are 5,6 and 7 (Porsche Unleashed, High Stakes and Underground).
I have already given up on educating people. When it comes to India, all logic is thrown out. And self-pitying is what Indians do when they leave India. That is why they do it most of the time.
It is an uphill battle and I am too lazy to fight.

By not being a Muslim, Iranian, Jew, American, etc. I consider myself pretty impartial so it is possible for me to step over your sensitive toes.
And where the hell is your conscience when the first sentence of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hezbollah_of_Iran states:
"For the Islamist Shia Lebanese militia/political party/social services provider, see Hezbollah."
Yep, that's right - they are different!

You don't deserve a reply.
Thanks! That was informative. I had forgotten about D-BUS altogether.

The same thing that happens to everything else.
FYI, it was sarcasm. It becomes in-your-face obvious if you watch the second part.
That indeed was LAME. It made me laugh.

Yep, I missed it.
Or you could install RHEL
That is what they want, apparently:

Lets hope that Samsung manages to get e17 out of door in 2010.
Wow, I was trying it out 5 years ago and it still hasn't seen a release.
dude, write "NSFW"!!!
always!

Tetris is clearly not working, because you think that sentence is witty :P
