And who do you think is responsible for most of the flames and poisoned dev environment over the past 4-5 years? Shockingly most of the same folks who are driving this new project...
Personally, I think it's great. Hopefully it'll draw Ciaran's buds away from Gentoo and maybe eventually Gentoo will be fun again.
Didn't your mommy ever tell you to treat people the way you expect to be treated?:)
I have never held any religious belief and I can't say I'm particularly frightened of the local cops (in a town of ~3,000...) and yet due to upbringing and many years of pondering the issue of morals the only obvious conclusion is that a functioning society can only grow out of mutual respect.
Speaking of sociopaths, do you lack empathy or do you just not leave the house much? You're considering this from a purely logical point of view. Now go find a real-life friend or acquaintance or neighbor to talk to for an hour or two (unless you look like Ted Kaczynski, in which case clean up a little first) and then ponder whether you would really want to do them harm even without fear of punishment. Would it maybe weigh on your mind a little? That's empathy talking. In other words, functional humans are typically capable of "walking in another man's shoes" mainly because our capacity for emotion, memory, and rational thought allows us to imagine what another individual's emotional state feels like.
And I don't particularly want somebody's screaming kids in the place fucking up my perfectly good dinner but you don't see me pushing to ban 'em. Instead I pick up and take my money elsewhere. It's pretty neat how that works
I'd have to agree with this assessment. I had exposure to porn quite a bit throughout my childhood and look how well-adjusted I turned out....Oooh, is that some gothic sadomasochistic preteen bestiality?! Be back later...
This analog seems a little over the top; I can open the newspaper and there's a whole section labelled 'DUI CONVICTIONS.' This seems a little more relevant (and yes, it's happening, and no, I don't think it's an invasion of privacy).
It works like this: The CDDL is incompatible with the GPL. Schilling doesn't want to believe it is, but both the CDDL and GPL writers (and anyone with half a brain) say otherwise. So while he's perfectly within his rights to distribute source code that combines CDDL & GPL code (as he is doing now), as soon as you build that source code and distribute the result (as any binary distribution does), you've just violated the GPL's 'no additional restrictions' clause.
Once a piece of code has been released under a license (such as the GPL), you cannot retroactively change that license (ie tell people they can no longer distribute it under that license)
Hmm. Computers have evolved, the kernel has evolved, things aren't the same as ten years ago. I'm shocked to hear that.:)
I can still install a functional Linux system with a 2.6 kernel on that Pentium 100 with 64mb of RAM and make it a useful system. Maybe not Fedora's distribution, but it's a trivial undertaking. I'd like to see Windows XP make that box useful.
Or, you know, actually do a manual install. Which I'd assume would be what you want if you're looking to configure a kernel and whatnot straight off the bat.
Or cd/usr/src and build a kernel after you've installed. Whatever floats your boat.
Either way, installer's meant for quick installs, configuring and compiling a kernel's hardly quick
Eh.. I disagree. Safety isn't just about what happens when you get railed, a safe vehicle also needs to be able to manuever out of a bad situation very quickly.
You're out for a drive, come around a corner, a drunk driver is barreling towards you in your lane. You have seconds to make a decision and execute it. You're in a big honkin' SUV. Better start bracing and praying, because you're either going through the drunk or rolling. I'll take the Miata...
Slightly offtopic, but.. is the military using body armor that can actually stop a 7.62x39 from an AK? I'm not up on the current armor situation, but stopping a rifle round is not an easy task.
I find them far more annoying... many years of web browsing have trained my brain to filter out flashy (or even just graphical) ads and look to the text for real content.
Google's ads are far more difficult to tune out, hence their wide success.
'cause this is just somehow going to get magically stuck in the header of every packet and your ISP just feels like losing a big chunk of business by shutting out the never-upgrade crowd?
My point is that it doesn't matter what happens to Debian because Ubuntu is more than capable of surviving on its own.
Having Mark Shuttleworth's wallet around certainly helps

Well... considering Ubuntu is an independent distribution with their own (pretty damn good) dev team, infrastructure, repositories, etc, I would have to vote for 'nothing'

But yes, losing Daniel was a tremendous loss.

Would certainly explain some of the driving manuevers I see on a daily basis
Err... last I checked simply threatening to beat/kill somebody was not assault but rather 'criminal threatening' -- at least in my jurisdiction.
That may work for the Irish, but what if you're Russian?

Maybe not, but does really seriously pissing off 178 "aggressive doms" seem like a smart move to you? Hmmmm...

The police log is right there too.

I think some people call that 'mod points'

Aside from which, ever looked at the stats on PETA's contributions to shelters that euthanize? Google 'peta kills animals'
For people who allegedly don't like harming animals they sure seem to like killing them off just fine...

Sweet.
