And what's up with not getting two monitors going? You really have to struggle to mess that up. Maybe he's using some Acer POS monitor that is semi-defective (I've had that problem) or trying to do it under VESA emulation. If you get a $40 Nvidia card with dual heads, you can install the Nvidia driver pretty easily. If you are clueless, you can let the driver do a virtual screen and run two monitors that way. Or if you have more than a handful of neurons, you can set up your Nvidia card as two separate devices and dual monitors can be supported just like with an iMac (for proof, I've posted the relevant part of my xorg.conf file as a reply to myself with my Karma bonus turned off).
I have not found the process of setting up dual monitors using my nvidia cards easy for any linux distribution I've used. In ubuntu, I can't use the built-in video configuration to achieve this, I have to find, install, and use the nvidia control panel and play with it for a while (not too long) before I get my two screens.
I'm not claiming it's hard, but it is still something of a black magic that I would never expect my wife or my mother to be able to do, and even I hate having to do it.
Otherwise, the only reason I keep windows around is for gaming. I only have to use windows at work for about 5 minutes a week, the rest is on ubuntu.
Let me guess. The instructions are ROT13'ed and concealed in the image data. Outlines are drawn in invisible ink. Once completed, pages self-destruct in 5 seconds. http://www.nsa.gov/kids/
That doesn't mean much, I have hummed that tune no matter what password I'm typing in. Sometimes, I'll do that even when I post.
That doesn't that we aren't stupid, it just means that his password wasn't necessarily mickeymouse just because he timed his keypresses that way, and my password is not trogdor.
New Mexico has periodic (annual, IIRC) vehicle safety inspections. If your interlock were disabled, you wouldn't get your inspection sticker and couldn't legally drive your car.
New Mexico does not have regular vehicle inspections. As a resident who doesn't drink alcohol at all, I would probably be one of the first to disable the device. On the other hand, this bill will not likely make it though the state Senate, so it doesn't really matter.
It always surprises me when people equate the GPL with releasing the code to the public. I won't say that I completely understand the GPL, but it never says that GPL'd code must be posted on sourceforge. If I understand correctly, only those who receive the executable need to have access to the source.
Of course, the question becomes "why bother with the GPL?" At this point, its use becomes solely a matter of philosophy.
The person bringing suit must pay all reasonable expenses for the defense.
That would work until some huge (read evil) corporation takes something from you without asking you for it. You'd have to come up with double the money it currently takes to go to court to even get into the courthouse.
Maybe the party that could most afford it should pay all the legal fees until responsibility is assigned by the courts. But then frivilous lawsuits would increase tenfold as those who can not now afford to sue frivolously would look for big targets to go after.

I don't know where you work, but my office mates and I can talk for hours over some slashdot articles. I guess I work at a geek shop though.
