Sure, then relax the laws that make it hard to fire useless workers.
Any interviewer that can't piece together an employment history won't be hiring these people for high-level jobs.
Yes, I use.torrents for getting debian, jingo is not the most friendly or stable piece of software I have used.
I fully appreciate what you said though,.torrent does have legitimate uses.
Thank you AC, I stand corrected and have every intention of remembering this lesson.
Please, log in and say hi, so I can add you to my friends list. It would be interesting to see if you can teach me anything else.

FireBird has beaten IE and we are just waiting for the inertia to bury the old stalwart.
Are you telling me that you aren't waiting with baited breath for tonights nightly 0.8 build that really says 0.7+ in it?
The fact that there are nightly builds and every week a couple of builds optimised for Athlon/P4 or older processors should entice you to at least try it, free of charge, and see if it actually works for you.
Most people that have tried it are still trying it, and a fair number of us have it as default browser.
Yeah, we're glad we have the US to sandbox all the stupid ideas in. Shame it actually has a populationm though.
How about you guys move all your Senate and Politicians out to an unpopulated region and they can spend all day blowing smoke up each other's butts and creating stupid laws for each other while you guys get on living life the easy way without them?
Can I just ask... Is this why the big push for a manned mars landing? lol
there's a better than even chance that Common Sense is also patented
Anyone that had it, demonstrably, and patented it would have enough of it to not sue for its use like those litigious bastards at SCO, or even the Nizzas.
something like 1 in 5 miles of road in the UK was in such a poor state that it was unfit to drive on How about they drop this idea for the moment and fill some potholes instead?
Hardly likely when in the City I live in they are still making the roads unfit to drive on with those BLOODY SPEEDHUMPS every 20 metres.
It always amuses me when I drive over a table hump though, they are usually the only part of the road you DARE drive fast on because they don't have potholes yet.
If you had the balls to log in and post with a name, we could actually verify that statement because you would have a journal to have recorded it in. As it is you're just another AC.
Yes they will, if you get a 10 off your Road Fund License for buying one.
Plus all those white haired BASTARDS in little red Micras will be queueing up to get their paws on them so they can PROVE they only go 20 miles an hour everywhere =/
Just because we all run our own sendmail servers over our DSL or cable lines
Yeah, we all do this, but then along comes AOL and those other big ISPs and tells me that my IP (which I have had for > 6 months) is a spam outlet, which I can assure you it is not.
I love reading my logs and seeing all the SMTP tests from spammers, only to see "User must be local to relay" and the like.
If you are the kind of person that installs a default installation sequence, the whole minimal install comes off the first CD of a set, I presume SuSE wouldn't mind too much if you dragged CD 1 of 9.0 off a Torrent somewhere, just for testing purposes.
Actually, I'm not at all sure they wouldn't be pissed, but that's life.
If you are accused of doing something illegal via. email (which you didn't), this will be a VERY handy tool in your defense.
Why should I have to prove I didn't do something? Surely it is up to the police/law enforcement to prove I did do something?
I want to cyrptographically hide the contents of my emails and obfuscate their origins as much as the next guy, and I want to call that privacy while I do it. Nobody in the world is going to make me write in plaintext on a postcard and hand it to the mail man as he passes my door every day, neither will they make me do the same with email. I may or may not have something incriminating in my e/mails, but until I am under suspicion of something illegal I want my privacy, and even then, I want properly mandated, legally and socially approved bodies with responsibilities to myself and the rest of the community to be monitored and restrained in their work.
Handing control of privacy to those who care little for it is itself caring nothing for it.
A grammar checker wouldn't wot=rk, due to the fact that most of the spam I get has entire pages taken from works of publication, at random, and usually obscure texts.
A grammar checker would do better to integrate the texts into it's own rule system as a way to write properly.

Maybe its because I'm this side of the atlantic.

Not really, that leaves a whole truckload of UIDs to worry about.

No, it just means they can justify not dropping the prices, after all, now we're getting twice as much for our money, aren't we?
