It won't cause any kind of troubles. Basically, the first sector of any device is reserved for a boot record. So, if you have a physical disk, let's say, sda, the first sector will be reserved for the MBR. Then, each individual partition also uses the first sector as a volume boot record, therefore, you can format sda1 or sda2 with any filesystem and still use the first record of sda1 to store a boot record. Same thing if you decide to format all of sda as a single FS, it's just an unpartitioned filesystem, with a volume boot record that is also a master boot record. Most filesystems take this into account, and should cause no issues.
Bullshit. We forbid many things that we understand are dangerous and detriment for the community. You wouldn't allow a terrorism school, or a KKK school, etc. If a parent teaches their children dangerous, derailed things and it prevents them from getting proper education, the state takes his kids away.
When we understand that something does nothing but harm to society, we outlaw it. Also, you are free to do anything besides restricting freedom. Religion restricts freedom AND is dangerous, so, why permit it?
Remember the law passed not long ago making blasphemy illegal?
So, how long until people realizes that this has gone too far. Censorship IS a problem. religion and corporate interests account for most of the censorship out there. Copyright is nothing but a form of censorship.
Can we finally outlaw religion and copyright? We really need to ban and persecute all forms of religious beliefs. And we really need to get rid of copyright.
Only then we'll be truly free.
Now, go ahead and mod me troll or flamebait, but you all know I'm right.
Sort of. We are actually a bit ahead of you sometimes on that subject. Long before your country came up with Bushisms, we had Menemisms. Just look up some of the stupid stuff Menem has said. He was a fucking psycho, and when confronted by the camera he would just make up something.
He once said "Dentro de poco tiempo se va a licitar un sistema de vuelos espaciales mediante el cual desde una plataforma, que quizá se instale en Córdoba, esas naves van a salir de la atmósfera, se van a remontar a la estratosfera, y desde ahí elegirán el lugar donde quieran ir, de tal forma que en una hora y media podremos estar en Japón, Corea"
Translated: "Soon, we will start a bidding for a space flying system where from a platform, maybe installed in Cordoba, this spaceships will leave the atmosphere, and travel to the stratosphere, and from there choose where to go, so in an hour you will be in Japan, or Corea."
You got it all wrong. I love XKCD. I've read literally every comic it has ever been posted, including some off-site drawings by Randall, including the ones for IBM, and others.
Lately, XKCD has been unfunny. Actually, most comics has been mostly irrelevant. Not funny, not witty, not interesting. I just didn't like the comic. Do you know why? Because It didn't make me laugh. It is just not funny. It has nothing to do with how I feel about wikipedia.
No C#, ok, makes sense. No PHP?, well, I see your point. No C? That is ridiculous! most languages today are based on C's syntax!
And, specially stupid: Allowing visualbasic but forbidding C? Anyone that has learned to code in VB should be banned from programming! And this guys are allowing it, but not allowing C?
That's just crazy. You know what I think? They deleted PHP because of the vast amount of free code out there, and forums, etc. And they deleted C because they are lazy, and it takes teachers more time to review C code than it does to review some other braindead shit like VB or Delphi.
Except all the traditional huge beasts behind communications, music, movies and tv all have the same interests, and eventually act together. When you have the same interests, and benefit from the same cultural trends, laws, etc. you don't need a conspiracy to act as a single entity.
M... It's the other way around buddy. Carmack both personally and through his companies has been paying for NASA's research for a long long time.
If you are paying for it with your taxes, you have (or at least you should have) the right to do whatever you want with anything your employees at NASA discover with your money without paying any royalties.
Except that your browser doesn't show the full URL, just a snippet. If the poster added some padding in there, you would've never seen the goatkcd in the URL...
Also, the current goatkcd is better than the current XKCD. Incision. Yes, it works at many levels.
They are being Evil. They have a perpetual obligation to keep every single feature in a time-freeze so that third parties can use them as they see fit!
Ah, wait, no they don't.
There is an assload of meta-search engines out there. Scroogle seems to be the only one that has been affected. That's because they were saving bandwidth, processor usage, and programmer's time by using the same fucking simple interface for the last 5 years. So, they've been using an old interface that existed for the SOLE PURPOSE of being compatible with shitty old IE versions.... now that google pulls it out, they bitch about it? Come on...
Here is what I hate: Everyone is complaining about the privacy concerns with many services, but nobody stops using them! Everyone feels they have the right for every service to work they way they want it to. Guess what, you don't. You don't like google? Stop using it!. I don't like microsoft. I Don't like anything from them. So, I don't use ANYTHING FROM THEM. Not their software, nor their services, nothing. On the other hand, we have people cracking their software and complaining when they are evil. They ARE evil? stay the hell away from it.
I'm really tired of this privacy-concerns constant circle-jerking. Stop using the shit you don't like. Simple, huh?
1) If your libraries where GPL and properly published before starting to work with this guys:
They can either use the code only in-house, and never distribute it, or distribute it under the GPL. 2) If your libraries where LGPL, and properly published before starting to work with this guys:
They can distribute the code under any license they want, and link it to your LGPL libraries.
In any case, they do not own the code for your libraries. You can still do whatever you want with them.
Anyone that uses social networks or publishes any kind of personal information on the web that they don't want to be public, or without understanding what will happened, IS A FUCKING RETARD. And deserves no privacy.
And, here we go: Facebook and other social network users are ATTENTION WHORES. Nothing more than that. Narcissist bitches.
Tweeter users are attention whores AND retards with the attention span of a 2 year old kid.
Fuck you all! Remember when the internet meant something? Remember Usenet, and the binary groups? remember when you used a personal home page to share whatever you wanted about yourself, instead of turning in all your data and photos to facebook?
How did we allowed this to happen to the Internet? And the worst part, how did WE,/.ers, become part of the cancer that is killing the net?
Not all the cakes. I've heard that, When no one was looking, Lex Luthor took forty cakes. He took 40 cakes. That’s as many as four tens. And that’s terrible.
Now, it's the second time today that I get a legitimate chance to use that stupid meme. I think the world is coming to an end.

Off course you can, install GRUB on the MBR.

Thank you for posting the most un-funny XKCD ever.
In other news, this guy has already been accused of many crimes, and is hated by most of the people of Tucuman (and elsewhere):
http://www.derf.com.ar/despachos.asp?cod_des=72815&ID_Seccion=34
http://www.bajandolineas.com.ar/2009/12/diputado-nacional-por-tucuman-geronimo-vargas-aignasse-fpv-bastardo/
Nice.
As an Argentinian (living in Buenos Aires, Argentina), I have to say I'm more embarrassed that I usually am.
In our defense, I must say, the guy is from Tucuman (You can think of Tucuman as our Kentucky), and he's a Peronista ...
Is very successful.

No, we all know that all the comments in /. are written by the same person. Prove me wrong.

When people say "My needs aren't being met", I always quote George Carlin on the issue: "Drop some fucking needs! Drop some fucking needs".
Of Homer and Bart trying to fix everything around the house with fireworks.
