Last time I checked, Google was an AMERICAN company. You think that they would have the decency or the patriotism to give at least one award to an AMERICAN. Sorry Google but you are no longer my search engine of choice. Altavista here I come.
Decency? This was a competion and the best men won, what's indecent about that?
Patriotism? If google ran a crooked competition where an american got a prize they didn't earn would that make you proud? Wouldn't it be better to keep trying until you win fair and square and then take pride in that?
Shame you got modded down. You were just poking fun at all the tired old cliches. I found it amusing and it was good to get them out of the way in one hit.
Even if they sold downloaded tunes at little or no profit it would still get people onto their online website. I'm willing to bet there will be plenty of walmart adverts and links on their download page.
I looked up 'wafe' in the Oxford English Dictionary
The word he used in the article was "waif". This originally meant a homeless child, but nowadays tends to refer to skinny women/girls, especially in relation to models. Some very famous skinny supermodels are now referred to as "superwaifs".
So the request "waif me" would result in a skinny woman doing something to you. Sounds less painful than "rape me".
I suppose I should check out both fedora and the next redhat. Perhaps it's time I checked out some alternatives, I'm already tinkering with Slackware 9 but that's a bit heavy duty for everyday use.
Just how did RedHat give you the shaft by asking to be paid for their support? You still get the OS for free.
The poster who said the they had been given the shaft also said "yes I have been buying RedHat since 5.x". This means that they didn't "get the OS for free". This also means that they are not a "leach".
I am in a similar situation. A few months ago I switched from windows to redhat 9. I could have downloaded it over my broadband but instead I went out and bought a copy. Does that make me a leach as well?
I put a lot of effort into learning how redhat works and now I find that they are concentrating on businesses instead and the fedora project doesn't sound very good. I'm not bitter though, I think redhat made a wise business decision and I wish them the best. If people use redhat at work they will actually get a chance to see what linux can do and may consider using it at home too.
In fact, it is highly unlikely that there are remains under her stone and even if there are, the remains are almost certainly not his mom.
I can see what's coming next, they are going to have to dig up his granparents too so they can verify the mother. (Maybe the great grandparents too, just to be sure).
If you learned that a corpse were buried under the house you just finished building by hand after countless hours of painstaking labor, would you tear it down to return the land to its "last authority?"
I would if I'd built my home on a native american graveyard. I've seen what happens in the movies.
I have serious doubts about blowing the world up by targetting faults with nukes, but you could trigger earthquakes.
I remember that superman film where lex luther bought up loads desert near the San Andreas fault and launched nukes to trigger an earthquake that would tip LA into the sea, turning his worthless desert real estate into prime beaches.
I think that America's drive to get into space was tied in with the arms race with Russia. The Russians were the first up there and that was perceived as a major threat by the Americans. They did what they did largely because it was believed to be necessary and when the cold war ended there wasn't the same impetus to continue.
China's motivation is interesting. As far as I can see there is no obvious military reason what they are doing, but they are doing it anyway. If they are doing it out of their own choice perhaps they will go further and achieve more.
With all this media attention focused on them it would be foolish for sco to pump and dump. If (as some people believe) they are getting backhanders from microsoft to rubbish linux then maybe that is financially rewarding enough and they don't need to resort to something as crude as pump and dump to fill their pockets.
I mean, no-one has DISPROVEN the claim that Iraqis were capable of launching chemical weapons against the UK within an hour's notice...
The british government are lying fucks. They justified the war on Iraq because of this claim and now they cannot come up with any proof or reliable sources for that statement.
The general concensus of Iraqi people seems to be that Saddam and co were evil bastards. I don't have a problem with him being kicked out, but I do have a problem with my government lying to us.

I'm using firebird and redahat 9 on a fast pc with a broadband connection. The loading of images is not an issue, but sometimes I feel that I'm getting lazy and I fire up lynx and read web pages as text only, it's strangely satisfying.
I've been playing with slackware 9 and I am thinking about having a slackware installtion without x. Everything would be done on the command
Just my theory here.
Think of Smith as a viral network. It absorbs a person or program and adds it to the network, becoming more powerful in the process. The machines need to hack that network and destroy it but they can't because it is no longer connected to them.
Neo and the machine mind agreed to work together to destroy smith. When Neo entered the matrix to confront smith he did it by connecting through the machine mind.
At the end of the fight Neo lets himself be absorbed by Smith and becomes part of the Smith network. Smith thinks it has won but doesn't realize that Neo is connected to the Machine Mind. Just before Smith dies you see the cables into Neo light up. The Machine Mind is now connected to the Smith Network via Neo and can destroy it from the inside.
The Oracle was the key to Neo realizing that he had to lose the fight to defeat Smith. She knew the Smiths were coming to "assimilate" her but stayed there and let it happen. The Smith that Neo fought was the one who had been the Oracle, this is provable because (a) it said the others were letting it fight him because it had forseen itself winning and (b) when the smiths died it was her body lying there. At the end of the fight the oracle/smith said that had forseen Neo was lying there while it said "Everything has to come to an end", but it seemed confused by this. This was a message for Neo from the Oracle. He understood that he had lose the fight and let Smith absorb him into the network thus giving the machine mind the backdoor it needed. This also fits the messiah theme, he let himself die in order to save humanity

the matrix trilogy as a whole has spurned some of the finest ideas i've had in quite some time
I'm guessing you were looking for the word spawned, which means to produce or bring forth. Spurned generally means rejected, which is a very different meaning.
I found the first film very provoking, but I didn't enjoy the second and third as much. I felt they were just making stuff up to squeeze out more cash.

It shouldn't be this way, but this is not a perfect world.
I tweaked that a little and got....

"things that microsoft should are guilty of" - 63,400.
"microsoft crimes" - 142,000.

I just checked out the first page of the article and there was the original orac. Looks a bit crappy compared to its modern namesake.
Does anyone remember the original Orac from Blake Seven or is it just me?
Respect to the lad for doing something original, but I personally think it is hideously ugly.
Even if they sold downloaded tunes at little or no profit it would still get people onto their online website. I'm willing to bet there will be plenty of walmart adverts and links on their download page.

I know there are some who hold to the original meaning, but perhaps they should accept that the words meaning has changed and move on.

I've often wondered whether microsoft has stolen code from open source. Since we don't have access to their source we have no way of knowing.
