But that does not imply the converse, asking if the unit test would have found the bug instead. The point isn't to rely on code inspection, the point is not to rely on any single method to discover bugs, but to use as many as practically possible.
You are right. Don't just print it out and read it. Print it out and take it somewhere else to read it. Don't just print it out and read on the desk one foot away from your monitor. Take it outdoors and get some sun!
Yes, it's the exact fucking quote, but it is not the complete exact fucking quote. The meaning is significantly changed if you include that snippet in the context of his speech. Heck, you didn't even include his whole sentence!
I'll put the quote here, but it won't do any good, because I suspect you're more interested in hating Bush than in correcting yourself. The quote uttered in Lancaster to a group of Amish was "I trust God speaks through me. Without that, I couldn't do my job." Regardless of your opinions on that quote, if you're intellectually honest you have to admit that it implies something very different from your out-of-context snippet.
The quote tells me that Bush believes in God, gains moral strength from believing in God, and trust that he is following Gods will. He most certainly is not claiming to hear voices in his head, as you claim. Instead he's say8ing pretty much what most many Christians do. If your argument against Bush is that he's a Christian, then be honest with yourself and say so. Don't hide being misleading out-of-context quotes.
However, if you want a pre-built binary for your platform, then it'll cost you (roughly) $30.
You make a good point, but you picked the wrong example. QCad for Windows is not released under the GPL. To quote the README: "all QCad versions for Windows are proprietary software."
I wouldn't call it Gnome. I wouldn't even call it a lobotomized Gnome. I would say it's more on the order of a Gnome that got dismembered by a hacksaw and is now residing in a dozen black trash bags scattered in a backcounty ditch.
If we'd stuck to calling Free Software, Free Software, we wouldn't have to put up with this nonsense
Oh poppycock! 99.99% of the world has never seen "The GNU Revised English Dictionary", let alone opened it up to read its particular definition of "free". Most people using English terms and phrases will be using a more traditional dictionary such as Webster's or Oxford's.
You can bitch all you want about the poor state of English having only one word for "free" and two for "freedom", but it is the language people will most likely be using when they run across the phrase "Free Software". No amount of linguistic redaction can change this.
The fact of the matter is that people will confuse "Free Software" with something other than what RMS intended. You cannot change this. Go tell your Grandma that a piece of software is "free", and the very last thing she will think is that it confers the right to redistribute modifications of the source code. Ask her if Internet Explorer is free, and she will most likely say yes. After all, it *IS* free. The FSF's intended definition just isn't being transmitted successfully by capitalizing the word "Free".
Yes, people get confused with the term "Open Source Software". No, it's not the most precise term in the universe. But it's far more accurate and unambiguous than "Free Software".
You're right. Given a choice between Linux+Gnome or a hacked up Linux+Gnome with the word "Java" in its name, what would the average PHB buy? That's right!
Oh but if you talk with the proponents of structured information they will tell you that it's so much easier than hierarchical information. And they will provide you with unrealistic scenarios supporting their view. In the meantime, it's still easier for Grandma to navigate than to search.
Grandma: What do you mean type?
Grandson: With the keyboard. Just type in your query.
Grandma: Why can't I use a mouse?
Grandson: Because queries are easier. Now just type "taxes 2004 lastmod yesterday"
Grandma: Why can't I just click for it? I know I put it in the "taxes" folder.
Grandson: No, no, no! Using folders is too difficult. Just type in what I said using the keyboard.
Grandma: Okay. Oh wait... There's that nasty error message again. It says it can't find it. Oh this is so difficult!
Grandson: No it's not, just type it in again, all you did was mistype "204" instead of "2004".
Nobody has ever brought together the world of documents, media and structured information in giving you one simple set of verbs that lets you richly find, move around and replicate those things
That's the problem with innovation, it's never as easy as the unwashed masses on Slashdot say it is. This "next generation" file system is a case in point, whether you're talking about WinFS, a future version of ReiserFS, or some other proposed "innovation".
In our zeal to dump the hierarchical filesystem, maybe we should sit down and ponder that it might very well be the best possible solution for the problem domain. If all you have in your home directory are ten thousand MP3s, then maybe implementing the filesystem as a relational database and providing a few canned queries may be best for you. But it's probably not for most people. What about the rest of us who have MP3s, Oggs, JPGs, PNGs, word processing documents, spreadsheets, TODO lists, PDFs, and of course plain text files serving a thousand different purposes.
The problem isn't that the nextgen filesystems aren't innovative, it's that they don't have a usable interface to go with them. The current hiearchical system lets me "browse" or "navigate" to the file I want easily. It's certainly not perfect, but it works and it's fast. But the new "innovative" way makes me access files based on their metadata. That's all well and good for files that have that metadata, like MP3s, but if they don't have it then it's up to me to provide it. And that's where it breaks down.
The Google interface sucks, and it's time a lot of your people realized it. Think about it. What if you had to Google for every website you visited. No bookmarks, no favorites, no manually entered URLs, just a search engine. It would suck. Yet the equivalent is what the "innovators" want for your filesystem. Imagine having to query for every file you opened, and worrying about providing the correct metadata for every file you create.
Microsoft got this one right. It's NOT easy coming up with something better than the hierarchical filesystem. I'm sure something will eventually arive, but I am positive it won't be used until an equally innovative interface comes along with it.
Please get Bush's quote right. While you may still disagree with the true quote, you cannot deny that it has a different meaning that what you're implying with your redaction. This is what I'm talking about. The truth isn't good enough for the Democrats, they must twist it into the shape they want it to be.
That is a supported card. It uses the "rl" Realtek driver. See p os=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6-current&format=ht ml> for more information. Searching the bug database I find... no open problem reports on this card! Are you sure you submitted a bug? The last reported bug on this card was in FreeBSD 4.2.
Is this the SAME card you used sucessfully with FreeBSD 4.x? D-Link is notorius for changing the chipsets in their cards while keeping the model number. Make sure it's really a Realtek 8129/8139 chip. What does dmesg say? You are going to submit a problem report, right? Bitching about the quality of a BETA release without submitting a bug report is silly. Make sure you include the full output of dmesg in your problem report.
Fucking Christ on a pogo stick, and you used to work in a bookstore?
Yes, I worked in a bookstore. I guess that's why I am a free thinker. I don't let other people tell me how to think. That includes you! Intellectualism in this country has been replaced by conformity. No longer content with open mindedness, the new intellectualism demands an empty mind so they can fill it with garbage.
The very fact that you expect an educated person to share your opinions and attitudes demonstrates how much of a slave to conformity you are.
And when they tried to put niggers in the white schools, it was Christians...
No, they were racists. That they happened to attend Christian churches is irrelevent. To accuse an entire religion of what a few criminals did is ludicrous. I note that there were no bombings of white churches by black Christians, yet the religion was the very same. I also note that bombings of black churches did not occur in the North, Midwest or West. I also note that there were extremely few lynchings by "Christian men" outside of the south.
Perhaps, just perhaps, there was another cause to the racism in the south other than Christianity. Or does that challenge your conformant world view?
And when gay men are brutally murdered, it's because the Bible says being gay is a sin
Christianity isn't brutally murdering gays, homophobic psychopaths are. Since the Bible lists quite a lot of sins, and in fact calls EVERYONE a sinner, then by your reasoning, there should be a heck of a lot of liars brutally murdered in the name of Christianity. But there are not.
In the case of the gays being murdered, or clinics being bombed, or blacks lynched, the only part Christianity plays in it is as an *excuse*. But every criminal has an excuse.
It must have been fake Muslims putting out all of those death threats then. I am not claiming all Muslims did this, only that a significant number did to cause Mr. Rushdie to go into hiding. A similarly significant number of Christians did NOT issue any death threats against Mr. Scorcese.
Forget it. This guy posts the same rant on every forum, but never provides the information necessary to actually help someone solve his problem. This is a troll.
As a libertarian I'm not going to vote for either Bush or Kerry. But if I had to pick one or the other, the events in Boston would definitely have me voting for anyone but Kerry...
A Democrat convention run by Democrats in a Democrat stronghold violates the civil liberties of Democrat protestors. Please note this. It was NOT a Republican convention run by Republicans in a Republican stronghold. The actions of the Democrats do not match their words. They have become the Party of Hypocrisy! Why the entirety of the Democrat rank and file hasn't abandoned their party for the Greens is beyond my ability to comprehend.
Is your fear of Bush so much that you must actively engage in the same tactics you despise the opposition for?
Walking around with a harddrive and CD is "more convenient" than walking around with just a harddrive? What wierd strange world do you come from?
Yes, I understand what you mean, because setting up a system to boot from a USB device is a major pain in the butt. But the whole concept behind this harddrive seems strange to me. It seems a high price to pay in both dollars and ounces, for a faster Knoppix.
You've completely missed the point. There is no comparison between modern Christianity and modern Islam when it comes to censorship. While there are some scattered PTA groups that wil browbeat a local schoolboard into throwing a particular book out of a school library, none of them are issuing death threats to board members.
You cannot blame modern Christians for the acts of their extremist ancestors five hundred years in the past, any more than you can excuse and ignore modern Islam extremists for their current actions.
So then it's not as convenient as just walking around with a portable harddrive and jacking it in to random systems, but you also need to carry around the CD as well. Most of the unbridled enthusiasm the story blurb is trying to get you to share in sort of evaporates once you realize that.
I used to work at a bookstore that occasionally sold "controversial" books. So let me tell you the difference between Christians and Muslems when it comes to sacrilege...
When we sold "Last Temptation of Christ, some Christians boycotted, some urged others to boycott, and some wrote letters to the newspapers. The author never had his life threatened. When we sold "Satanic Verses", Muslems threatened us with bombings and death. The author of the book actually had to go into hiding, and is still there today. A former peace activist and singer, Cat Stevens, even agreed with the death threat.
I just don't think the Christian church has any right to control what's in a public school.
No Christian church has the right to control what's in a public state school. This is in stark contrast to Islamic control of schools in certain mideast nations.
