Yes. Death.
I have come to the conclusion that acne is a sign of good health. We are living longer than ever and have acne longer than ever.
The acne caused by the agricultural poisoning of the Ukrainian prime minister has made me think though. It may be caused by weed and insect poison in out food.
Ugh - I live in North America - it is Impossible Not to watch Seinfeld and Friends sometimes and I think it is friggen terrible and all the actors and producers should be clobbered with cluesticks.
To make it worse, we will continue to be tortured with reruns of Seinfeld and Friends for the next 100 years at least.
It already works like that. If you see a charge on your CC statement that you don't think belongs there - complain to the CC company. They'll reverse it.
The problem with ID theft is more serious things like, someone else selling your house. Someone else using your social security or employment insurance, so that when you need it, there isn't any funds left and so on.
Yeah, like in Britain - cameras everywhere. That way you can track the movement of people and as soon as someone is identified as being in two places at the same time due to identity theft, you use the laser cannon mounted on one of the cameras to erase one of the two.
Well, when exactly did the word gay start to mean homosexual? I never received an email or a fax from the department of home affairs saying that gay now means homo...
Huh? The US has culture to export?
Seinfeld, Friends, The Cosby Show, Carol Burnett, American Idol, ugh...
I can understand why China is trying to filter the internet. I would too if I were them.
Yes, the Judge can say that the license is invalid - in which case Copyright Law will apply, which will then mean that you cannot use the software at all, since how are you going to get copyright grants from all the contributors?
It will take immense amounts of legal effort to get permission from everyone and if one person refuses, then you can't continue.
The GPL grants you rights - complain about it and you lose those rights - which would is kinda schtoopidttt...
You can't win against the GPL - you can only lose. That is why it is such a good license and why no-one in his right mind goes to court about it.
850 million here, 500 million there, pretty soon you have real money...
I wonder what is the total amount that MS has paid out in anti-competitive litigation?
My guestimate is about 3 billion dollars.
That amounts to about 6 million copies of MS Office.
No, not in America anyway, but the infamous are slowly being eradicated in Western Europe. America is always behind the times. I guess we got to give America another three hundred years to get out of the Dark Middle Ages.
America is a highly religious society. They even have a gigantic statue of the Goddess Libertas in their old capital city - recently restored to her full glory - and thousands of people pay homage to her every day.
I sure prefer Libertas to the old grumpy War God Zeus, that is favoured by the majority...
I happen to have 6 Linux boxes around me at the moment, of which two are connected directly to the net and the rest are behind those. Oh, there are a few hundred Windows machines around here too.
If Windows was safe, then people would be using Windows firewalls and put Linux boxes behind them, but in practice, it is the other way around. There are good reasons for that.
Yup, one has to bear in mind that America (both US and Canada) absorbs enormous numbers of immigrants. These people come here with English as 3rd, 4th or 5th language and are not stupid at all, but their presence means that the school system has to somehow cater for them and since the school systems are huuuuuge beaurocracies, it skews the whole system. This has been going on for hundreds of years.
One of the absurdities I encountered, was that my son was classified as an, 'English as Second Language' student, even though it is the only language he can speak and his English marks are top in his class, simply because English is my second language.
I asked the aministrator if English is his second language, then what would his first language be? but she gave me a terrible Miss Grundy look...
Well, a little Linux based Linksys firewall costs about $50, but it is really sad that you have to protect your $500 whiz bang super duper Windows XP Professional OS running on your $2000 Pentium based PC, behind a $50 Linux firewall running on a dinky little ARM processor...
...and I can put a freshly installed Linux box on the internet without a firewall and it will be perfectly secure all by itself.
What OS do you think a firewall runs? Does your firewall have a firewall?
Which translates into printing school graduation certificates for everybody, which is why universities have their own entrance exams.
Ancient American problem.

Because it is mostly nothing? but so is everything else...
No the ultimate answer is 42.
The ultimate question has always been:
Abort, Retry or Fail?

Not really - I'm starting to get jobs to migrate machines from Netware to Linux, so industry is slowly clueing in.
Hmm, I bought a house from a Chinese person - the look on the debt collector's faces when I open the door - priceless...

Just remember to cross reference it to the old ones first...
No, some people are just identity challenged. You got to be politically correct about these sensitive issues.

SCO of course, is run by a total fruitcake.
Hrmmmfff - how many people in the US are going to church every Sunday?
There is no shortage of fools...

Well, actually, Internet Explorer has been shipping with a free copy of Alexa for many years.
...and I can put a freshly installed Linux box on the internet without a firewall and it will be perfectly secure all by itself. What OS do you think a firewall runs? Does your firewall have a firewall?
So, what you are saying is that a Windows machine can be perfectly secure behind a Linux firewall.
Duh...

and people are already talking about security holes?
Windows really raises interesting expectations.
