Hey... my neighbor runs linux with an nvidia card.
And he was showing me some fancy 3d stuff that
my xp can't do. So
I can hardly wait to turn the tables and take over
his system. So what is step 1...
Mod parent up! The original was little more than a troll.
The idea that the commerce department has 100s of linux workstations
is, while a beautiful dream, just a dream.
well, it's worth a try (I was confused when you said the
20 seconds was for the laptop to start up, not for gentoo
to start up) - I'm still skeptical but then my laptop
has a real dog of harddrive
My 700Mhz Laptop with Gentoo needs about 20 seconds to start up, load KDE(!) and be ready to work.
do you have a howto somewhere explaining how you attain this
frankly completely unbelievable figure (my 1.1 ghz laptop takes
10 seconds or so just to get to grub prompt and 10 seconds
to boot the kernel and start KDE is too Paul Bunyan for me)
And as usual, failure of simple literacy correlates
perfectly with the failure to understand or explain
the nature of the bill at issue. It's no accident
that basic writing ability and its associated skills
matches up with general intelligence.
Instead of sending a blank, why not just burn 9.4GB of/dev/urandom onto the disk. They'll probably end up spending over $10,000 per package by calling in the MPAA, the RIAA, the NSA, the CIA, and the DHS. After a few dozen false alarms, maybe they'll learn to stop invading customer privacy.
Why do you think it is legal to attempt to interfere with
and impede the operations of the US Customs? Do you
think it is that easy to slip away from your Government's
power over you?

Last I heard, air was *made* of nano-particles.
They are called molecules, and yes, some of them
are dangerous.
SSHRC is not science funding in the sense you mean.
It stands for Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council (of Canada). So it is not so obvious that
this grant should be denied funding on the grounds
that it is not science. However, I have to admit that
the project sounds pretty flaky to me - but then it
should have been rejected for that reason, not because
it did not independently prove the theory of evolution.
That is just bogus.
Although it may sound callous, 911 was not a
major loss of life (compare traffic accidents
or the number of people who die from malaria,
or just the number of people murdered every
year). You are throwing away your LIBERTY.
The 911 criminals are just criminals - they
and their ilk can be handled by the criminal
justice system. You do not need Dictatorship
America. One has to wonder about a hidden
agenda here.
I understand that the best gauge of happiness is
relative standing with one's peers: basically,
you're happy if you can believe (without too much
strain) that you are doing a little better than
your neighbors. This scale is independent of
absolute wealth but it is sensitive to the range
of possibilities one's sees for one's life (or
the range of lives that one sees others apparently
not too different than oneself living).
So, the more visible models of others doing better,
the more miserable we tend to become. This might
be a special problem in wealth oriented or success
oriented societies, where inter-personal comparisons
are almost mandatory and are "mechanized" (e.g.
SATs, MATs, performance indicators, etc.).
I doubt you are opposed to market regulation, but
you may differ with the article's author about
*how much* market regulation is a Good Thing.
Without regulation how are externalities figured
into the costs? Without regulation, how is the
market protected from destruction via monopolies
and cartels?
Without regulation, how is outright banditry to be
prevented?These represent "social value". So
I expect you fundamentally agree with each other,
with a minor dispute about where to draw certain lines.
It's also worth remembering that the tele-communication
industry is just about as far from a "free market"
as any economic activity could be. So the debate is
not only parochial, it is irrelevant.
The "horizon report" has absolutely nothing
to do with the Ennis histamine experiment. Nothing
whatsoever! As the story about Ennis notes, no
solid experiment has ever confirmed homeopathy.
But Ennis's work stands as a mystery, no matter what
you might think about homeopathy.
simplest answer: that would not be a free market,
since free markets depend upon competition driven
by consumer choice.
But maybe you were asking why we endorse the
idea of a free market? Price fixing comes in
two forms, very crudely: communism and corporate
fascism. Which are you suggesting we adopt in
place of the (difficult) effort to maintain a
free market in the music business and elsewhere?
It's an interesting article, but seems to be
about a certain port in Tasmania. Nobody but
nobody thinks that everyplace on every coast
will have the same sea level rise. The nasa
link discusses this. How does the Daly work
show that mean sea level of the earth is not
rising?

Say! I'll bet on the BBC -- what's your wager on the Funch being right?
Only a stealth approach to Mordor would succeed; *after* the fall of Sauron it was easy for the eagles to fly into Mordor.
