Why is this warning a 'problem'?
If you already know not to spray it in your eyes, than ignore it.
If you want to spray it in your eyes despite knowing that it's dangerous, then do the same.
Just be aware that you, and not the company involved, will be held liable.
50% of the employees are below average at any given company
Not necessarily. Suppose you have 50 employees. 49 of them are all equally bright, and the last one is a complete moron. The avrage is just below the intelligence of the 49 clever guys. So 49 employess are above average, and only one is below.
At the same time, if a few judges (anywhere in the world) might go with SCO, it might give them some form of platform of precedents to use in other cases (like he IBM one).
Or even just convince a few more people to buy licences, and keep them going until the court case.
Written arabic does have vowels. In fact, the first letter of the Arabic alphabet is alif (= a). There are two types of vowels though - stressed ones, which are always written, and unstressed ones, which are written a bit like accents above and below the words, and which are usually left out.
OT i know, but people get this wrong ALL the time, and i have no idea why.
(data party would of course be nonsensical, because data is not an adjective)
Cocktail party anyone?
In english, we do the same as most of Germanic languages, only we don't run the words together. So data party and cocktail party are fine. In French, you can't use this construction and have to say 'party of cocktails" or "party of data".
I think if you read the Manifesto, it's fairly clear RMS was trying to change something about the world, and not just produce code he could debug easily.
Perhaps everyone could have a different, random one of their ten fingers used for the card.
That way, they would be no point to a mugger cutting your finger off unless he knew which one you 'signed' with.
So when (in your original, greatgrandparent post), you said: "Microsoft is not a monopoly", you meant to say: "Microsoft is a monopoly, unless you use the pre-1800 definition of the word 'monopoly'."
With enough computing power, sure, you can debug your software by testing 'a whole bunch of inputs'. You can even go the whole hog and test all possible inputs! All possible iteractive sessions!
Then all you have to do is compare the outputs you got with the outputs you should have got. You work out the outputs you should have got by... building a bug-free version of your app, and running tests.

I thought it was more like the US and USSR kept the German people for reuniting for 50 years, because of a Cold War that they were having at the time?
Hmmm. Out there in the real world lots and lots of people don't have the internet in their own homes.
Instead, they use it at college, at work, in internet joints and uh, in libraries.

Admittedly, it is usually the other way around.
>You're indirectly telling them that the computer is the most important part of their life.
:)
You're also telling them that the computer is where they can find all the bad, forbidden stuff.

In Australia the official job name of the postman is actually 'postie'.
C'mon, it made me laugh...

Shouldn't that be .NET culture?
Just because they're SPAM gangs, doesn't mean they're not dedicated Linux users.

It's more of a 400% increase in speed...

99.99999%, presumably.
