Honestly, thats all that matters. If 10.1.5 has everything you need and you are happy with it, don't change. The same thing goes for windows as far as I'm concerned.
I personally like panther. A couple of things seem to be broke though. The connect to server or browse network always detects my windows machine but I can't always access the shares. This never happened on jaguar. Overall I am pleased. (I am another person who loves expose)
Why is unlimited immigration good? Unlimited immigration will raise unemployment and poverty. I am all for limited immigration. After all, the vast majority of people in this country can trace their ancestors back to immigrants. I am not sure of how all the details work here though.
Would this be unlimited immigration from certain countries or purely umlimited. Would this remove the necessity for green cards or visas?
I do agree with this. If a new user gets modded down once, their karma is automatically bad. I think that there should be perhaps a 3-5 point range for neutral and you start in the dead center.
I also have an issue with the fact that if you get a +5 funny and then someone comes along and gives you a -1 overated mod, it hurts you karma. I don't have any suggestions for this one. I do think that funny posts should not count towards karma though. I don't think the overrated funny posts should nto count against.
You know I keep seeing this stuff in other topics about when the sun dies, it will expand out beyond the earth and all. And this process will take billions of years or whatever.
My question is how the hell do they know this for sure. In the short history of humans observing the universe they have never seen a star just unexpectadly explode. There has also been neither the technolgy or the time to observe a star going from "regular" star to supernova.
I don't see how anyone can say for sure that the sun will not explode and kill us all in the next year. Just because noone has ever seen it happen doesn't mean that it cannot or willnot.
This may be true in some areas but in many it is not. I know first hand that Kentucky has notoriously bad drivers by observation and statistics. It is very uncommon whether on residential roads, highways, interstates and some city streets to have most of the people not driving 5-10+ over the speedlimit.
I drove to new york several years ago. By far, the majority of the people on the 800 (or whatever) mile trip were driving 15+ over the speed limit. I'm just saying that from my experience, driving the speed limit is the exception to the rule.
I am assuming that this is a troll but I'll bite anyway.
It is illegal to have red and blue lights on top of your car because they are used as a method of identifying police cars. If a car has the red and blue flashing lgihts, it is effectively saying "I'm a police officer." (Impersonating a police officer is against the law.) So when you see the red and blue lights, you can instantly associate that with police cars and not have to worry that when you pull over you are going to be robbed or something.
I'll just stop here. I find it very hard to believe that you don't understand why it is illegal to try to pass your car off as a police car.
The problem here is that that is the only conceivable use for the device. I saw somewhere where some court (I believe in the US but I'm not sure) decided PS2 mod chips will not be illegal because, even they allow (and possibly promote) play of pirated games, they also allow play of legitimate backed up copies of games. So there is a legitimate legal use for the chip.
A similar similar arguemnt can be made here. This is a device whose only use is for illegal activity.
I don't think your argument holds up. An extreme example would be "Should it be illegal foe Joe Schmoe to have a nuclear bomb in his basement if he hasn't detinated it and killed hundreds of thousands of people yet"
Well when I did it, it chopped the last letter off of each field in the tag of each song...on 15 GB of music. I went to xplay insteasd. Ephpod had the WORST interface I have ever seen in my life.
Fair use is that which is unauthorized, but still legally allowed. Any DRM scheme trumps fair use. What if I have 4 computers? What if I don't have an iPod, but don't feel like having to burn to CD and re-rip to MP3? What if I want to edit some content together as part of a school project? What if I want to give a friend a recorded TV episode that he wasn't home to see. All of these are fair uses that DRM makes impossible.
It's like a software license. It's not like you buy all these songs and all of a sudden they tell you you can't these things with the songs. You know what you can or cannot do when you purchase the songs. It is completely fair because you know exactly what you are getting into. iTunes allows for the multiple computers with it's library sharing and it seems to work pretty well. If you have four computers, odds aer at least two are networked together and you can do this.
DRM is bad. Always.
DRM is not bad. It is necessary unless you can somehow stop all illegal p2p filesharing which isn't going to happen. If there is no DRM, I think the number of cds released will drop. They aren't going to be making any money off them so why produce them? Why have a record label? Just tour and get music to radio stations.
DRM is here to stay. There's no getting around it. Apples implimentation is by far the fairest I have seen.
I too know the effects of cancer first hand as well as those of chemotherapy. Most everyone that I have known that has been though chemo, said that if the cancer comes back and they are left with the choice to take the chemo or die, they'd choose death. While they might change their minds if/when the situation does come it speaks of the need for a better type of treatment. I am not against chemotherapy as it's the most effective treatment at the time, but it is so painful and takes years away from the patients life. Hopefully this treatment will be as promising as it sounds and in 100 years people will look back and see chemo as a barbaric, however effective, cure. Hopefully....
That sounds suspiciously like a pop-up scam. A lot of people will simply ignore this message like they have been tought to do with pop-ups even if it did have the ISP logo or URL. I would be hesitant to do that as well.
Using genkernel --config on my xp2100 usually only takes about 15 minutes for me. You might have a slower machine though. I wish it was a little more verbose as well though. It could at least show the output from the makefiles.
I saw a segment on a TV show about this. There are commercial programs out there that will do this. It is very commonly used in movies to interact a CGI animation with film. If I remember correctly the example they were showing was from Jeeprs Creepers 2. They inserted a bat thing into a video of a truck driving.
I didn't catch all of the segment but apparently it is done by comparing the distances that objects move on screen, i.e. closer objects move faster then those that are farther away.
It makes a lot of sense when you think about it. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to put something together by actually setting the points on the screen to compare. Detecting the objects in the screen would be a tad more difficult.
I used mandrake for years but finally decided to give gentoo a try. I took me a couple of tries to install gentoo without a script (stage 3) but it was definitely worth it.
I learned so much about how the OS works. The partitioning, mounting and all the really basic stuff was all black box to me. I had only used mandrake's installer before. You will learn so much installing gentoo by hand that it's worth the effort.

Why was this modded offtopic?

I suppose this is a bit off topic now though...
I vaguely remember "Droids." I remember the Ewoks series much more clearly.
If you live in a place long enough and here the way the language is spoken there, it tends to rub off on you.

That's the way it is in Kentucky as well. I have to not though that Kentucky isn't technically prt of California.
Well when I did it, it chopped the last letter off of each field in the tag of each song...on 15 GB of music. I went to xplay insteasd. Ephpod had the WORST interface I have ever seen in my life.
I wish people would look at timestamps before marking something as redundant.
Fabuoulsy metal ones...
And if senators spent all their time in washington then all the people at home would complain about that.
Well then someone needs to do some serious modding down of the original post for plagerism.

Well one way that they could know this is by examining thermal images of the sun. There you see how the heat is distributed.
Besides, I'm no physicist or anything but I am pretty sure that dark matter is more or less a figure or speach.
Yeah. I didn't read this article in particular but I did read aonther on it. IIRC, these flares arent' poitneed toward eatrh.
Isn't that a flavor of pie or something
