...the guy who just nominated two lobbyists for cabinet positions immediately after announcing that there would be no lobbyists in the Obama government....
William Lynn, while working as a lobbyist recently, ALSO was the most recent Undersecretary of Defense under a democratic president (Clintonâ(TM)s second term). He was nominated to be Deputy Secretary of Defense.
Hmmm, he was an undersecretary of defense under Clinton, now is a deputy secretary of defense. I wonder how he got the job- could it be that he was qualified?!
I don't know much about the other, I'll have to check it out later today.
That is a list of names with no proof at all. Start doing web searches on the first couple names and it will quickly become apparent(you could start with the snopes entry).
I am sorry for the poor analogy. The rules that require signs to be a certain way exist because you are SOL if your car is towed. While if you try KDE, you didn't loose money in the sense of a fine. You lost time (time=money if and only if someone is willing to pay you for it).
I would agree, that KDE could have made many adopters happy if they simply said "4.0 means API stable, but it is still not for doing 'real work.' But in linux, it is not that hard to have multiple windowing environments installed. So what really pissed you off about it? I mean I have kde3.5.10, kde4.2, and e17 installed. Switching between them only requires me to log out and in again.
Ignorance is still no defense. If that little sign says your car will be towed if you park there, but you don't see it; your car will still be towed. If you don't read the fine print in this world you will waste alot of time and money.
IMHO, to exist in the linux world you either trust the distribution to make the choices for you (and what mainstream distrubution picked kde4.0 as their standard WM?), OR, you have to be willing to try an application, decided whether it is for you or not, and move on.
...Anyone who's used a computer for more than a week knows that "point release means it's the new stable release", or at least reasonably close to one. If they intended it to be otherwise, it should have been BETA...
YOU assumed that is what their version meant, but that was your mistake. As far as examples, the linux kernel underwent huge changes all the way up to 2.6.13. Did you use kde 3.0 and it was nearly as complete and usable as 3.3-3.5 (it wasn't)? So 4.0 was lower than _your_ expectations, I'm sorry, that you were delusional, but that is mostly your problem. There were plenty of HONEST reviews for kde 4.0 and 4.1.
I understand, but then you are using the fs to do transparent compression. That argument fails in this case because filesize=size_on_disc. Otherwise you could argue that a 3mb mp3 is really a 30MB.wav file...but it's not, it is a compressed file.
While it might not be the best use of "begs the quesion, " that phrase denotes the idea that it is the obvious question. If the parent wanted to imply it was an obvious question, [s]he didn't say "raises the question" for a reason. You didn't need to correct him, and you certainly didn't need to resort to name calling.
...no person can be extradited to a country that their human rights will be violated i.e the death penalty.
But the maximum penalty is 10 years for what he is charged with: hacking&trashing a computer (which he admitted to). So where is his human rights being violated?
They must be doing something right in Europe though because every country I've checked on the CIA's factbook has a higher life expectancy for both men and women and a lower rate of infant mortality than the US.
Yeah, but you have no idea what it is. InMyHumbleOpinion, that has very little to do with quality of available health care. If it were possible to bet on such a think, I'ld put my money on lifestyle:
I'm pretty laid back, but I know a couple of my friends who are going to have shorter lives because of stress. If you'll notice, the average US worker takes less than 2 weeks of vacation, while France/Germany/Italy are all almost triple that!
But what we're darn close to is that an education consists of 2 books per class, 35 recorded lectures, and custom answers to 2 questions per lecture.
That is NOT "worth" $5,000 (1 quarter semester fee.)
That isn't what you payfor. If that is what you think, then take the Good Will Hunting approach and get your education at the college library.
What you payfor is two fold: The diploma with what ever name-brand institution you went to, AND the professors experience in the field to strain through that 1000 page text book to tell you what is really important to the future of the field, and get you through the hard parts.
And no matter what commodore64_love thinks, this is not a typical employer-employee relationship. You are not the cutomer, and you are not always right. You are there because they know more than you, and they have been doing it longer than you (with the exception of my 100 level CS courses, but I probably could have tested out if I had been diligent enough).

What are the advantages of this over using an engine or sail?...
While this would never do well for real "man sized" boats, but at such small scales for automated drones engines and sails might not be as good. An engines gets pretty complicated (expensive) to make at millimeter sizes, and sails arn't reliable. This is for miniature floating sensors.
If what you are observing is accurate, that amount of voltage would destroy any electronics it hooked up to. You can't even get an arc like that if you tied eletric socket wires in the wrong configuration.
Unless you live in a vacuum.
More importantly, without better knowledge of either the situation or electricity it is too dangerous for you to deal with. And unless this is your fault, you shouldn't have to. You should contact the responsible party. You cannot do this by yourself with out getting lucky because the equipment to test voltages that high isn't sold at radioshack, any wiring that is in the wall is a PITA, and the second step is to check tap off the main box, which isn't your property.
Assuming you pay for cable, or if you rent, it is a safety hazard and they should deal with it.
I am LMAO at the idea that missing the signs to investigate Madoff somehow means they should toughen up on Health releases. That is a bit of a leap don't you think. The Madoff scheme means you nead to investigate if reported earning are real, and reported investments actually exist, not whether they lied about Jobs health.
Even if you wrap the mortgage induced crisis into your comment, that would only lead to what the true value of things is. That logic would value Job's health even less because he is not a tangible product or service of the company.
Do you know what the power draw on your box is when "off"? I don't have cable, but putting my entire entertainment center on a hard switch only saved me about 1$/month.
If give you a scatterplot of X vs Y you would instantly be able to see what kind of relationship exists (if any). You might notice an exponential relation, linear relation, or that they are the exact same. For more statistical things, you might notice two distinct groupings, correlations, or completely uncorrelated date.
So your boss doesn't know what the relationship between X and Y are, but he wants to save $ and increase profits. You tell him that based on this relationship that you proved exists (whatever it is) with your graph and hard work, and we know that we want Y low, we can control X, to influence Y, and make a better widget to edge out the competition and make more $.

Did you even read the article you linked to? That $77K didn't come from the 'prison system.'
"Canteen money is raised by prisoner purchases of items such as toiletries and food, the proceeds of which go into a fund to benefit inmates"
So this money, is from prisoners, for prisoners. It allows for the DOC to get the prisoners comfort items with prisoner's money.
You would fail at arguing that a cell-phone honey-pot system is a comfort item for the prisoners.
Communication is not about what's fair, it's about what's effective, and sometime something as trivial as a version number sends a big message.
That is definitely true.

Did he run tests with 16GB files?
...
More importantly, he couldn't use a 16GB file, since
FAT32 doesn't support single files over 4GB.
And because 4GB drives don't support files over 4GB.
Wouldn't that just be an outlaw on silencers?

Add to that: American's are overweight, which stresses out the body (heart), which reduces life expectancy.

True, but David Howard (aide to the DC mayor) had to resign after he used 'niggardly' during a budget meeting in 1999.
