at this rate, france may actually do something about the anti-jewish hatred that runs rampant in france.
I'll quote from the following article by Uri Avnery. The last sentence is the relevant statement.
A quite different phenomenon is the North-African war conducted on European soil. Young Muslims from North Africa are battling young Jews from North Africa. That started back home, when the Jews supported the French regime against the freedom fighters. In the last phase, the Jewish underground organization was the mainstay of the opposition to the liberation of Algeria. (The organization was set up by Israeli agents to defend the Jews, but the leaders gradually migrated to Israel and the organization was left in the hands of the most rabid Arab-haters.)
Now this confrontation has become a local offshoot of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Muslims are enflamed by TV pictures of the oppression and humiliation enforced by our soldiers in the occupied territories, while the Jewish organizations support the Sharon government. Most Jews in France are emigrants from North Africa. This causes many incidents and creates the impression that anti-Semitism is on the rise.
Something that won't take decades to bring to fruition ("Don't be so mean to them and cause them to blow stuff up").
There are things the U.S. could do in a few days that would alleviate the suffering of millions of people within a few days. Of course, they will never do it even if it makes total sense like ending the drug war.
Think I'm talking nonsense? There's a book about it: Understanding Power by Noam Chomsky. Read it and decide for yourself. Also, "Profit Over People" by him is good as well.
If you're editing Uncompressed HD with SATA drives, you're going to need 4 striped drives. Period.
Of course it makes a difference, it's the difference between being able to edit or not being able to edit... just ask any pro video editor or check out BareFeats
But for your average user...I don't know and don't care...I don't trust a single hard drive with my data let alone less than a single drive. No way.
Nah, all the duct tape was all scavenged by people preparing for terrorist attacks planned four years ago but scrapped oh but not scrapped because they were updated in December, no they're attacking in August or September, or something...why don't you just shut down the Holland Tunnel to be safe.
That the world operates under a free market is a myth my friend.
Think: US taxpayers pay for the military budget. Military helps invent things for the tech industry (like the Internet). Tech industry uses this free R&D to profit. That is the government subsidizing businesses. Not strict free market.
Think: Import/export tariffs.
Think: The recent article on Slashdot describing public subsidies of football stadiums.
Unfortunately, there is not much economic incentive to find a cure for Diabetes...they just make too much damn money off those insulin shots...but if you join grassroots organizations working on these types of issues then maybe one day your dream can come true.
Here's John Gruber's amusing take on the situation.

BSD is important for the same reason as the lower class - to scare the shit out of the middle class.
That is the most absurdly ignorant, hateful statement I have ever read. You're telling me you think that lower class people strive every day to make enough to live on--often at the sacrifice of their own health--and that is important because it motivates the middle class to work harder at their dumb ass job they hate. You, drinkypoo, are a huge asshole. I mean, unless you're a millionaire, why the fuck are you advocating for a system that continuously fucks you over?
People walk around throwing out phrases like "laws of nature," "human nature," "the way of the world," "that's the way the world works," like there's some sort of fucking truth. You give us your cute little scenario about Linux hackers vs. BSD hackers like it's some kind of truism, like it proves something. Please.
Think about how many different cultures there are throughout the world and how different they have been throughout history. It doesn't have to be this way, folks. Want to get educated? Read a book. Want to do something? Go work for a labor advocacy group.
Or you could just write in the letter that after your hacker friend explained to you that the whole neighborhood was using your internet connection to download pr0n...you, as a good christian, promptly blew up your WiFi router in the back yard. That way, they can't tell if you had WEP enabled or not. Though I hear hellspawn can decrypt WEP in real time nowadays.
Nice post, but a little out of date, as I see no mention of Poisoned which is a front end to giFT. giFT supports FastTrack (Kazaa), Gnutella, and OpenFT (a hot little network). Personally I'd rather run Poisoned than Kazaa any day.
Furthermore, the BitTorrent community is alive and well on OS X. Azureus works really well, and there's a hot little native client that is better than the standard one.
I've been using the Overnet command line client, which sucks but gets the job done better than the various front-ends floating around.
And then there's Hotline, Carracho, and the new open-source client-server model "Wired".
I don't understand why people are comparing this to Apple.
I mean, isn't this what Dell, HP, etc do? Each machine that these companies sell have their slightly modified version of Windows (mostly drivers and stuff) so that you don't need configure Windows to run on the machine.
So, yeah, you could run vanilla windows on an HP machine, but you'd have to install some drivers. Similarly, you could install Debian on a Element Computer box, but you'd have to install some drivers.
I considered submitting this story, but I was busy and now I regret it because according to this MacWorld UK article, this is just an unsubstantiated media frenzy. The proof of how widespread these muggings are is still pretty sketchy.

Are you crazy? I don't think there has been significant testing time devoted to 3.5" floppies. I'm sticking with 5.25" until the dust settles.

Holy shit you mean gay people actually listen to music!?!?! Unfuckingbelievable...next thing you know they'll have their own TV show.

Shoulda been running Opera (saves your browsing windows through restarts). No I don't work for them...
You can set it to run an Applescript of your own design, but it's not going to run an Applescript that's attached or linked to.
You're not going to be able to configure Mail to automatically mount a dmg file.

No big company would ever forget to re-register their domain names.
Trust me, Poisoned works really well. Try refreshing your search results regularly.

Not really, "Classic" mode in OS X (and X11 for that matter) is more integrated with the host system than CoLinux.
This is more comparable to the countless emulation softwares out there (VirtualPC, VMware etc).
I'm not saying the technological approaches are similar, just that they run in a separate window from the host system.
Does that mean I can finally run GIMP on Windows? Yes! Oh, wait...
