WHAT THE FUCK COULD THEY DO WITH THIS YOU FUCKING MORON? Nobody is going to blackmail you, nobody is going to try and kill you, NOBODY GIVES A FUCK ABOUT YOUR GODDAMNED TINFOIL HAT BULLSHIT. Shut the fuck up.
Ground effects ARE aerodynamics. All ground effects are is shaping the underside of a car so that air under the car is minimized and the air that gets under the car can escape more efficiently. Ground effects aren't mechanical (well, SOME have been. See the 'Sucker Car'. Two large fans were attached to some ducting that lead under the car, under braking the fans came on and sucked air out from under the car. Unfortunately, it also tended to suck up loose bits of pavement and rocks and spit them at the car behind), they're just further aerodynamic modifications. A spoiler is an upside down wing, nothing more. Turn it over and downforce magically becomes lift. That's why the car could stick to the ceiling.
Ummm.... the ground effects are irrelevant to this example. The front and rear spoilers provide more than enough downforce to keep the car on the ceiling. Flip them upside down and shove a jet engine on the car and you have a nice straight-line aeroplane.
Fedora will never be a for-pay product. It is the community-driven REPLACEMENT for free Redhat. They canned free Redhat in order to better separate RHEL and Fedora. Also, unstable is a relative term. I've been using FC1 for months without any problems.

Except for a regulation-sized penis or hair extensions.;-)
Yes, it's that much better. Consider that there is so much downforce on a Formula 1 car that if you flipped it upside down, it could drive on the ceiling of a tunnel. Adding extra weight would just negatively effect handling in the turns. This is why racecars are so lightweight. Less weight, less lateral force on the car around turns.
Obviously. Race cars have had far more than 1,000 HP for a while now. NHRA Pro Stock cars have somewhere around 12-1400 HP, on a 500 cubic inch, naturally aspirated motor. Top Fuel dragsters have never been successfully dyno'd. They have a hard time staying together for the 4.5 seconds it takes them to get from 0-330 MPH, so putting them on a dynamometer is a dicey proposition. Estimates put the HP ratings for the supercharged, nitromethane-fueled engines at about 7-10,000. Yeah, 10,000 HP.
Offtopic, but concerning roller coaster G forces. The G's at the base of drops are usually pretty low, maybe 2 or 3. More would slow the car down unneccesarily. At other points in the track G's may be higher. IIRC, the uphill corkscrew on the Titan at Six Flags Over Texas is somewhere around 6 G's. Heavy duty stuff.
People listen to Linus because he's the maintainer of the kernel. Code be damned, that's a FUCKLOAD of work that would make most peoples heads explode if they had to do it.
Go to eBay and check the price of Radiant Silvergun, THEN tell me video game prices only depreciate. A big reason most games don't appreciate in value is the number of copies that are produced. Rarer games, especially good ones like Silvergun, are priced accordingly.
No, it's not ridiculous. RMS's comments come from the most biased, hardcore GNU/Free Software zealot imaginable. In fact, just because of that, his opinions means LESS to me than that of the average Slashdotter.
Again, with the 'cannot'. Not too long ago, nothing could live in the heat and toxic chemicals spewed from magma vents in the ocean. To put ANYTHING out of the realm of possibility is patently stupid.
At some point everyone just needs to stop giving a fuck what some bearded hippie thinks (not that being a bearded hippie is a BAD thing) and just get the fuck on with it. Look, I respect RMS and the FSF as much as anyone else that uses Linux but I seriously don't give a flying fuck what RMS does and doesn't like. It makes no difference to me, and it shouldn't make a difference to anyone else. RMS is NOT divine. He's just a guy. His opinion is no more relevant than anyone else's.
You're precisely right. What I want to know is, exactly why is the concept of God unscientific? Why do so many scientists find it easy to believe that at one time the entirety of the universe was contained in a single point that suddenly and for no reason exploded, but they can't bend their brains around the possibility that a sentient being triggered it?
It takes me about 12 hours to compile QT. Same for GTK. g++ is SLOOOOWWWWWW, expecially on older computers like mine. Not all of us get the latest and greatest hardware.
Yeah, like the tales of the coelocanth, Vikings in Canada, a round Earth, and black holes were fairy tales, right? Because, as we all know, none of those can be true. Right?
Source material is irrelevant. The important thing is proving or disproving that something occurred. To write off the stories in the bible as absolute fiction is the LEAST scientific thing I can think of. Science is about INVESTIGATION, not about trying to out-atheist each other.
Scientists find shit all the time that makes them rethink their view. That's what being a scientist is. To disregard facts is to assrape sans lube everything it means to be a scientist.
Incorrect. Borderline psycho tradition depends on the bible being the infallible word of God. Most SANE followers of the bible see it as a collection of stories, some true others myth, that act as a guide.

So anytime I look at your license plate I'm infringing your liberties?
Given that Valenti isn't in any way a part of the judicial system, I find it hard to see exactly why the fuck this matters.

And how many open source projects CLAIM to be a closed project in order to gain compatibility?

Any "Scientist" that takes Evolution and the Big Bang as fact are idiots. QED.

It boggles the mind how anyone can accept the Big Bang as truth. We're even. Your turn.

Besides that, it was a fucking joke. Lighten up.
