No, the attacks were made possible because the passengers thought all they had ahead of them was a prolonged stay on some shitsplat landing field somewhere in the middle east while the terrorist's partners were released from this or that prison, so sit tight and everybody will be ok.
Try waving around a box-cutter in a plane right now. You'll be at the bottom of a 6-feet-high passenger pile-up in no time; next time someone hijacks a plane, he'll find passengers that won't act like sheep, but like cornered cats.
Try getting more ram. Map load times in battlefield 1942 were barely bearable with 256MB suddendly where reduced to almost half by doubling the available memory.
Then you post watchers from every party involved on the ballot boxes, and to discuss every vote. Makes the results known really late at night, but it seems to work.
At least, that's how it works here in Chile. For every ballot box there's a group of three citizens who are the box's "operators" (chosen at random from the people who vote on said box). And every candidate has a right to have a representative present during counting, and every
vote that isn't 100% clear gets discussed to death. And the election results, for every box, are public.
McBride says they wont sue their own customers any more, but those "communist, anti-american, pro-terrorist" linux users got them just desserts coming, ayuh.
through elusive or fundless parties so that litigation has no prospect of generating money
But MS' litigation ultimate target would be to stop linux/OSS, not to generate money. It doesn't matter to MS if Linus is rich or poor, as long as he doesn't eat away its market.
In my experience, last time a noob got loose on gentoo, the computer got hosed.
I asked a friend with a ton of bandwidth to download the gentoo CDs for me, and out of curiosity he tried
it. Hosed computer. (yes, he has succesfully installed other distros)
I seriously would worry about letting a noob loose on something that has you play with fdisk, mkfs et al.
Yes, it is. However, there's a disctinction to be made: the trend is "record it so hot it sounds loud even when you put it at whisper volumes, and never mind the distortion and the loss of dynamics and the fact that it causes severe headaches if you listen to it more than 15 minutes".
And how exactly does the GPL prevent those vendors from incorporating GPL material into their products?
They'll have to use it exactly as it is, or jump through hoops to interface it, or plain old use it without abiding with the terms of the GPL.
Anyway, my post was not intended to stir controversy or argue the old GPL vs. BSD holy war, just pointing out that one of the GPL zealots' main fear was portrayed in the article.
Nice to see somebody put a bit of sense in govt. spending. Why license for thousands what you can get for free? Go OpenSSL!
BTW, this shows some of the GPL-camp fears: Too-free (as in BSD) code packaged into propietary apps... some people will not realize they can get the exact same code for free.
(the debate on "in licensing from private outfit you are paying for support of that free code" is left to the reader;)
It is? Funny, I've found it quite useful when having tons of windows open.
Well, it annoys me to no end. But that's just me. I hate UI inconsistency. You have found it useful when you have "tons of windows open". How useful is when it _just starts_ grouping? Say it has one or two groups of two windows? Not much, I'd say. Anyway, since mozilla got tabbed browsing I rarely have half a ton of windows open. Just a couple of mozillas with a quarter ton tabs each;)
Is my personal opinion insightful, too?
Why yes, of course! Plenty of mod points for everyone...;)
I disagree. The annoying part about it is that it's not predictable. Depending on how many instances I have open of any given application, they may or may not be grouped.
Yes! I must rephrase, THAT is what is annoying as hell. It bugs me because it makes the UI behave in a non-predictable way, wich in turn makes you lose your concentration as you have to switch your mental gears to whatever way the UI is acting now.
Grouping by itself is not annoying, that damned "sometimes" behaviour is not.

Subtle as a kick in the nuts or a bag of bricks to the head.
You get the idea...
Isn't flash memory subject to a certain limit of writes?
Was the game THAT BAD? Because the movie is so bad that not even Angelina Jolie's tits can save it.
You'd have to use jennajamesonsucksatsucking.com

The representatives/witnesses are volunteers.
You mean "rightful owner" as in "the person who paid money to register katie.com four years before the book was written", right?
Oh you don't! Ooops, so rude of us, to think you are entitled to keep what you bought for yourself because you aren't famous enough...
"0300 - Meet maker" :D
Of course you can't. Way too many things rely on perl. Might as well try to uninstall libc6.
They were part of the ton of paper IBM handed SCO as a part of the discovery in the current lawsuit.

Two words: IBM.

The installer that most closely resembles it is the one that comes with LFS.

I'd rather have an unencrypted cello at 22mbps, but that's just me...
(so THAT's how burning karma smells!)
