but where is the financial incentive for programmers?
I work for a company whose business is not software. We need a webserver, operating system, database, etc.
Sometimes, what comes in an open source package doesn't meet our needs, so I fix it. Sometimes I think others might want the same changes, so I submit them (like when I changed the behaviour of a device driver to be more configurable). Sometimes I don't think others would want the same changes, so I don't submit them (like when I made dbmmanage able to be called from a shell script).
I get paid to solve my boss' technology problems. OSS is the most flexible way to do that.

If it makes you feel better, assume that Dilbert is building the house as a single guy with the intention of making it so desirable to a woman that she might marry him just to live there.
The cat won't use that litterbox. She can't see the whole room from it, the window above is a possible avenue for predators, it's not sheltered, and it's too close to the food bowl.
Move the box behind the door, away from the windows and food/bed, and your cat will stop pooping all over the house.
Also, cats don't need a stairway to climb 2.5 feet unless you have kittens.
I was playing devil's advocate. I am not a transphobe, in fact I couldn't care less about what other people do with their bodies so long as they're not hurting anyone else..
In my experience as a transwoman, I have observed only three types of person that have a problem with what I am faced with: those too stupid or ignorant to understand, those of a religious bent, (now THERE'S a mental illness for you!), or those with gender issues themselves. Which are you?
None of the above. I do not have any problem with your gender identity. It's none of my business.
Maybe you work at the Clarke! Maybe you happen to be the crackpots that are Ray Blanchard, Anne Lawrence or J. Michael Bailey!
I have no idea who or what any of these are.
As for being ruled out as a possible mate, no problems here! One HUGE misconception about being trans is that it is closely tied in with homosexuality.
Actually, the reason I'd rule you out is that I want to have kids.
If GID is a mental illness, why am I jumping through hoops to change my body to fit my mind, not the other way around?
Because doctors know how to change your body, but not how to change your mind.
Because that's what your ill mind is telling you to do.
Wouldn't a birth defect that causes abnormal changes to your cognitive and emotional state by definition be a mental illness?
As for me, I couldn't care less if you get those surgeries done, it's none of my business and I won't judge you on it asside from ruling you out as a possible mate. My only caveat is be absolutely sure that's really what you want.
There is no going back.
CSIS does work inside Canada, and is allowed to spy on canadians. Prior to 2001 though, most of their evidence would not be allowed in court. They would be allowed to tip the RCMP though.
I was watching TV last night and there was an "Amber Alert". It got me thinking how do we know the person they describe really is suspected of abducting a child?
Then I remembered (from the movie, Farenheit 451):
"Watch for a man running through the streets. Repeating: Calling all Citizens. Wanted for murder, the criminal is alone and on foot. Let each one stand at his front door, look and listen. Watch for a man running through the streets. Repeating: Calling all Citizens." - Fahrenheit 451
Maybe you're a farmer interested in buying a new plot. You'd like to know that it will have a good exposure, no major shadows, not be near any major pollution sources, and not be on the proposed route of a new highway.
Sure you could check each house labourously, or you could do the whole city at once with a good GIS, then concentrate on the areas known to be good.
Also, CPU architectures are well understood, and companies are working to improve density, instructions/clock, and clock speeds. Stream Processing is an area of active research.
A local medical clinic, A restaurant 3 hours away, a chip shop 3 hours away, A dermatologist in annother city, a shopping mall in annother city, a brewery, a local BnB, 2 more restaurants 3 hours away, and a lawyer.
Oh, by the way, the local chip shop is across the street from my office.

I can't. I run Linux.

I can see a reporter in a repressive country using it to get the stories out before the police take away their camera.
And I'd be surprised to see a 35mm CCD with better resolution than Fuji Reala.
Now when Lea takes the blaster in the cavern in "A New Hope" it doesn't suddenly change into a 44-Magnum sound effect.
Before: "zap zap zap... here, take this... bang bang"
After: "zap zap zap ... here, take this... zap zap"
Just more evidence that GWB is a better football fan!
Why are you taking this site seriously anyways? I just figured it's a spoof of SBV4T.
Canada doesn't have any amendments. We havd a Charter of rights and freedoms.

Should be most cities and towns.
"First Nations" refers to Native Canadians.

Then I remembered (from the movie, Farenheit 451):
This is the same police force who investigated the Raging Grannies as a subversive group.

Sure you could check each house labourously, or you could do the whole city at once with a good GIS, then concentrate on the areas known to be good.
But the city wouldn't know you were honest.
They (FOX) sure do have a cluttered website. I'd nominate them as a web page that sucks any day.
The day the first worm for VoIP comes out, everyone not using the vulnerable product will think an old BBS is calling them or something.
Also, CPU architectures are well understood, and companies are working to improve density, instructions/clock, and clock speeds. Stream Processing is an area of active research.
The results?
A local medical clinic, A restaurant 3 hours away, a chip shop 3 hours away, A dermatologist in annother city, a shopping mall in annother city, a brewery, a local BnB, 2 more restaurants 3 hours away, and a lawyer.
