Things are getting so silly right now with CnDs that I think anything can happen ; reality being wilder than fiction, etc. It had a special ring to it that made it look like a joke - I saw it too at first you know - but in this context and since it was still somewhat ambiguous for me, I chose to take it seriously, because it involved minimum risks while pursuing possibilities of learning new interesting stuff.
In a way, I've been trolled, but I really don't care... Who hasn't;)
Hi there... Are there plans to work more closely with other Linux distributors for some kind of standardizing for the OS or even some kind of joint venture like United Linux ?
Well I just don't have to work with these kinds of contingencies since I don't have this kind of job - like most people ; I was just stating MY opinion regarding MY situation here, not some abstract universal Truth...
And I do understand your situation and that's quite fine, though I hope you advocate open source solutions whenever you can;)
As discussed in this previous thread - following an article ABOUT THE SAME SUBJECT - the new unit is the Great Pyramid.
Someone should program a calculator to convert all these units from one to another. Elephants to Great Pyramids, Great Pyramids to K-Marts, K-Marts to Libraries of Congress... Now that'd be innovation for ya !
Now that we have a well-defined best known way to vote, perhaps we can get governments to adopt it for city, state, even national elections. I very much want the US to become more democratic.
Yeah, and of course the best way for the U.S. to become more democratic is definitely to keep away the tens of millions of Americans that don't have the 'net at home from having the same voice as tech savvy citizens.
Get real man, we're definitely not there yet. I've already advocated for electronic vote to be used in some small scale organizations, and even though I'd like it to work out well someday as much as you do, planning to implement such procedures right now on a national scale is just plainly ludicrous...

We're not talking about a mere "violent uprising" here.
The French revolutionary period was the apogee of a very prolific era in French history since many great thinkers ( Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot ) wrote tons of liberating works criticizing most of the institutions one can think of. That spirit gained popularity amongst the bourgeois class and then in the common people ; the alliance of these two resourceful groups of persons, with the American example still in mind, allowed them to take down the most powerful monarchy in the world ( except maybe England ) and popular governments were established. Unfortunately, Napoleon was able to take power some time later, but the French revolution propagated novel ideas that slowly but surely gained ground in Europe and elsewhere during the 19th century ; the human rights as we know them, AFAIK, are coming straight from the Declaration of Universal Rights of 1789.
The French revolution, like the American one, are mankind accomplishments in the sense that radical changes in the social contract were made following noble ideals like freedom and equality among people that had lasting consequences ever since. That's definitely more worthwhile for me than the Sixtine Chapel ; of course these are my criterias, not necessarily Murray's.

I guess most people will agree with me that most of mankind's biggest accomplishments have been made possible by either great minds ( Einstein ), mass mobilization ( the Pyramids ) or both ( French and American revolutions ). I think this implies that top notch and accessible education ( be it at schools or in independant organizations ) is a must for any ambitious society.
However, we live in a time when information is being bought as merchandise and considered as a mere product ( proprietary software and copyrighted works come to mind ), and, in America's case, lower education is in a much worse situation than in many other developed countries while having the highest tuitions fees for higher education in that same bunch. I think this state of affairs have grave consequences for the American society, and since it is so powerful, for the whole world as well.
This deserves upmod too:) Thanks buddy, you covered some stuff the other answers ( so far ) haven't, and now the portrait is pretty clear to me for what I care about right now.

Yeah, because it was so obvious that it was a joke...
Oh wait, IT WASN'T...
Could you please post the content of these subpoenas somewhere ? This could be very interesting right now...

I use open source software because it's better, not only on a programming basis but on a broader social basis too.
I wouldn't use your lousy OS anymore even if you'd pay me to.
And now we dance, or have a LAN party, or something. I don't know. When we destroy SCO how the hell will we celebrate?
I'll have sex in the champagne room. Yeah, you heard me.
Can anyone recommend a good non-symantec antivirus and software firewall?
There you go.
Nah... Peep this, it's just not working ;)

I messed up quite hard on this one. My bad, sorry about that.

Just my 2 cents here, comment if you please.
Well it does from my viewpoint, and your thinking-out-of-the-box has interesting ( and true ) implications for other kinds of systems. Thanks mate.

I'm quite satisfied by your answer and mlk's, though other slashbots may have problems with these, I don't know... Anyways, thanks guys !
From here.

Anyway, that other guy mlk understood what I meant and gave a clear answer. YHL, HAND
Never quite understood why someone can't get the source code from the resulting binary file, it's not even logical... Or am I missing something here ?
