the Unicode standard even (which, I might point out, that same generous West put in after working hard to create those standards in the first place and then giving them to poor countries like Nigeria for free).
Wow.
I am not Nigerian, but as a citizen of another under-developed country I surely appreciacte that pre-20th century attitude!
Peer-review has been happening outside of the commercial journals for a long time. Indeed, the `original' journals were purely-academic, mostly university funded, editions and there are quite a few such academic journals around, of thew finest category. Also, there are quite a few journals, both electronic and dead-tree-based, which completely sidestep the commercial monster editor houses and have editors, referees and editing work of the best kind.
What has solipsism got to do with anything? Anyhow...
Remember we are talking about a country which has been at war for years now after invading a country based on ``concrete evidence'', which was bought by essentially the whole country (and pretty much no one else outside of that country's border)
It is of course reasonable to pursue people based on evidence, but posting the picture of someone for everyone to see because ``he is a child molester'' in order to aprehend him, only maybe to find later that he wasn't, does not strike you as an excessive? You must be one of those ``who have nothing to fear because you have done nothin wrong ever''.
Becuase we know "We're all the same", right? Which is why Africans have put a man on the moon, and Mexico is a wonderful, prosperous country...
It does not take huge analytical powers nor a remarkable amount of historical information to see that the fact that Africa is as it is and that Mexico is as it is, is---while probably not directly caused by---very connected to the way what you call ``WHITE Americans'' are, along with what you'd probably call ``WHITE Europeans''...
Of course, why would analitical reasoning or historical information get in the way of your ALL CAPS words?
Getting sensationalism out of the newsroom and into advertising where it belongs. (and eliminating any sense of personal or editorial responsibility when smearing someone's reputation).
No responsibility? You think the FBI is just going to randomly pick somebody, get a picture and biographical details about them and flash it up on a billboard? If you're on this thing it's because you're a material witness to a crime or a suspect likely with enough evidence that they're going to arrest you when they find you. They're not going to use this for petty things if for no other reason than to avoid making the public stop caring what the billboards say. In fact I would be willing to bet substantial sums of money that the people they featured will be fugitives believed to be in the area--people who were either already convicted or who have warrants out for their arrest to begin with.
While I know different groups of people are involved, you surely give the government which embarked itself in a war under false pretenses and with absolutely no responsability so far, a lot of credit!
As long as you only know that he/she is just a potential child murderer/rapist, of course he/she should be preserved. Are you seriously saying otherwise?! Remember that you are a potential child murderer...
It is quite disgusting to see, from outside, how every mention of Bush's catastrophic actions is followed by someone, you in this case, replying what you did. Disgusting and sad.
Meanwhile, a few hundred people lay in their graves because of those actions. Sigh.
With this new feature, both sorts of sloppy programming become security holes.
Sloppy programming is security holes.
Assuming the implemenation works fine, then if an app is making the assumption that because it can do X then it can do Y, well, it will find out that it really cannot do Y, and it'll get killed. Then you can fix it. Ah, the tragedy!
'm not saying it's good that the government is trying to use the same lame astroturfing tactics as Sony. But that's the way Wikipedia works, and you can never 100% trust that someone who knows what they're talking about wrote any of it. I'm one of those that thinks they'd be better off if they at least gave *some* weight to contributions by those who can prove expertise of some kind, because of this very fact - though I also see the benefit of allowing anonymous edits.
This is 100% a separate matter from the fact that it is repugnat to have the governemnt do that kind of edits, no?
I am not an US citizen. I am not very much interested in internal US politics---apart from the immense entertaining value, of course. I have absolutely no idea how you come to the idea that Clinton's transgressions, if they were such, are my own in any sensible sense.
On the other hand, as a part of the world, I am very much concerned with the consequences of all the lying &c that took place.
Well, lying to a whole country repeatedly and systematically to the point that you get more than half of them to actually believe in what you say, lying---satellite pictures and all--to the whole world, etc, and get lots and lots of people killed as a result... Grand juries are essentially trivial in comparaison.

``even''? They are under the obligation to do so!
Hm. If you think that a DE "is a small, easily replaced component", you have no idea what you are talking about.
and which of those provide LTS?
If you think that gnome (or kde) is "a window manager, a small, easily replaced component", you have no idea what you are talking about.
public urination is a sex-related thing?!
Which only shows that you can justify just about anything using childporn...
They do not allow that. They have absolutely no power to allow or deny that.
Been installing Linux on various types of PC's for over 10 years. Been installing Linux on PC's since before grub even existed.
So you missed the fun of looking at a flashing L? You kids...

So you want to teach the kids how to set up power plants and water infrastructure?
Did you think of all that in the designated free speech zone?
So you would be the grammer-nazi in this situation, I guess?
Well, the /. consensus would probably say that anything which is omnipatent qualifies for the devil, rather than god...
