while they come from the same root, the meaning of the words is completely different and diverged in old french - "liberal" (or, rather, the O.F. root from which it originates) means "generous", not "freedom"
but refusing to do something for no better reason than that others _are_ doing it means you're just as much of a sheep... just a sheep facing backwards
here's a quiz for you... what is the difference between a cardinal number and an ordinal number... the latter, you can start at an arbitrary 1, 0, or 2... for the former, 0 would mean there are not any monitors 1 means there _is_ a single monitor... by your "starting at 0", your own personal computer (presumably) has 0 monitors
it's just an example of someone trying to be smarter than he was... he even specified "starting at 0", so 65535 would make sense... as an ordinal number... however, he used it as a cardinal number (i.e. "how many", not "which one")
mount the registry as a drive and walk it like a filesystem. Yegads!
bash (or some sh-variant) would have to be adapted to know specific things about linux
$ cd/proc
$ cd/etc
looks fine to me... linux doesn't _have_ a registry... the two listed above are the closest there is, and bash _can_ walk it "like" a filesystem
the exception that proves the rule... it's not _common_ for that to happen, and it's shocking when it does. there's no reason the same wouldn't be true of other drugs, if they were legal. even people who were hopelessly addicted to drugs and couldn't afford to finance their habit, would, if they were legal, be more likely to shoplift them from the local 7-11 than to steal/kill/etc for money to buy it with... a convenience store is a lot less likely to put you in the bottom of the east river with cement shoes (or, more likely, unceremoniously put a pound or so of lead in you) than an illegal drug dealer
except this wasn't a press release. it was an internal email... this employee probably used the same signature for everything... it should be obvious that (for an ordinary employee, anyway) when talking to other people inside the company, you're not a representative of the company
you made that up. -f will make it _SILENTLY_ fail on permission denied... in addition, the implementation i'm familiar with will recurse impotently until it hits a tree you _do_ have permission to clear, then BAM!
IE and Office have _always_ used custom file dialogs. (since IE4 and since "always", respectively.) and, i found screenshots (on google, can't find it now) of an early chicago (that is, windows 95 before it was windows 95) beta that had a resize widget on the file open dialog, and that was my basis for saying w95 had it... word in office XP, incidentally, does have resizeable file dialogs (just checked)
that is not true... graphite pencils replaced charcoal, not "lead" lead pencils. we call it lead because like lead, it's soft enough to rub off and leave a mark on surfaces, and it's darkish grey.
Also don't forget the increased crime rate from addicts stealing, robbing and murdering to get their next fix.
i think i will forget it, thank you, since we're talking about why it should be legal, and it would cost a _lot_ less with free-market competition... no-one ever killed for a cigarette.
the problem with that "policy" is there hasn't been an OS since macintosh system 7 that doesn't support FAT12 on floppies... and suppose the customer is cagey enough to bring in both disks, whipping out the mac one when they say they only use macintosh
if it was outside the matrix, wouldn't just about any 1970s-2003 era unix be legally free by 2199? however, if i remember correctly, it was a console in the room they walked into - i.e. it wasn't _on_ a computer belonging to the rebels (need a better term for them) at all in the first place...
There are plenty of examples of bystanders killed by drivers using drugs other than alcohol.
cite? the stupid PSA with the crash dummies doesn't count, its "statistics" are so deliberately vague (doesn't even say if the "reckless drivers" did anything beyond going 1/2mph over the speed limit, let alone whether they were in fact _only_ on marijuana)
Shouldn't, then, they be the ones with the patents? and, research done on money without such strings shouldn't be patented at all... basically (in grandparent post's opinion) a university should never hold a patent for itself
This isn't like a soccer mom trying to cash in on frivuolous lawsuit #235 of the week, this is an actual university, and the entire board of directors must have legitimate concern to sue.

but then instead of focusing on new innovations, they'd stick to theory and building a better mousetrap.... oh, wait... mice... killed by...
and if it weren't for all the other people who hate us for more sane political reasons, osama would be nothing more than a nut on a street corner.
shouldn't the opening lines util be called /bin/head, not /usr/bin/head? in which case the worst this does is render HEAD inaccessible

I have heard of cigarette smuggling, but that is nothing like robbing a bank/store/someone on the street to get money for your next fix.
the "leading cause of death by fire" is irrelevant... there is a difference between being killed BY a cigarette, and _killing_ FOR one.
Given that those totalitarian states called themselves communist, the new definition stuck.
many of them also called themselves "democratic republic". why didn't the definition stick to that?

why would the RIAA sue them for paying to legally download music?

or am i taking this too seriously?
the former would be "using unix", with the windows system turned into little more than a VT102

just because the "general public" wouldn't want the public/free/legal mp3s doesn't mean it's not reasonable that they would have been posted.
