Homosexuality is neither a choice (that's long ago been proven scientifically), nor is it particularly a disability. Furthermore, as it's entirely unrelated to capacity to perform most any given job or what have you, there is no reason that discrimination on the basis of sexual preference should be permissable.
But the government isn't considering this, at least not yet. The article (and even just the Slashdot summary) is about the collective demanding it, not the government listening. The government *may* listen, but I wouldn't consider it terribly likely.
Nothing's stopping you from installing a more traditional libtool, though.:3 You can build a Linux-compatible libtool with Fink; I have it installed for some software that requires it.
After migrating all the old settings and so on, is it safe to delete the Previous System folder? I haven't any experience with upgrading OS X so far, so I'm wondering exactly what I should do when I pick up Tiger for my PowerBook.
That's not necessarily true. I've been able to get several Linux programs to compile and run properly with no modifications on OS X, and they had been in no way ported to it - one or two were even written before OS X came out.
That reminds me of a "personal massager" I saw in a catalogue once, where they really weren't trying to hide anything... it was even shaped in a general vibrator-like shape. The photo of a woman using it as a back massager was really almost surreal.
Not so long ago, to my knowledge; the Japanese version of the NES was still in production until about a year or two ago. Of course, this is just nitpicking.
That's true, although it assumes that one has a need for Keynote.;3 I don't do any presentations, so it turns out to be considerably more expensive for my needs.
The educational discount on iWork is better than the one on Mellel, though so for those who do need both I imagine it must be a better deal.
Oh, sorry. I just saw Georgia and assumed you were talking about the same university as the parent.

Personally I don't find NeoOffice/J, the Mac version of OpenOffice, very good, but a lot of people seem to like it. I went for a word processor called Mellel, which is rather inexpensive and which I find works quite nicely.
Dear Goddess, that school uses Banner and doesn't even bother to use its own ID system? o.o; My school uses Banner, too (although I can't comment on the quality of the system - I'm on the student side, not the faculty/administration side), but they assign us specific Banner IDs that we use everywhere instead of SSNs or whatnot.
The resolution is because Apple generally sticks to around 100dpi, which is desirable for people doing image or video editing tasks - a large portion of the market for the PowerBook.
But the Fink binary is still at 0.80; if you want anything more recent than that (and 0.80 is quite old, with known security vulnerabilities), you have to compile from source.
According to the article, it doesn't prompt the user to download Media Player. Windows doesn't recognize the file either way, and Microsoft's site gives you a choice between Media Player and Winamp.
Because people tend to have a greater sense of identity when they're a minority group inside a larger group.
To give a less geeky example, one study my Psychology professor mentioned in class looked at how English people and Scottish people sign hotel registers; they found that, overwhelmingly, the English identified themselves as being from the UK (which, for you yanks, includes both England and Scotland:b), while the Scottish identified themselves as being from Scotland.
That happened at my old high school a few years ago. The English teacher explained, when she showed us the department's new DVD player, that they had wanted to buy new books - but the budget only allowed them to buy technology, so they had no real choice but to buy a DVD player they didn't need.
You think that's funny, but my Russian Literature professor actually uses MSN search to get to Google. I suppose it must be somewhat common for people who haven't that much experience with computers.
I doubt that's the case for the Lindows PCs. If they just wanted to get an OS (any OS) for as cheaply as possible to satisfy Microsoft's legal department, then they would have FreeDOS instead, which would cost them nothing. Dell does that on some computers, and so, I think, do some other manufacturers.

Actually, there at least were such chips for PS1 at some point in the past; I don't know if they're still available or if there's a PS2 equivalent.

I have found that generally, it's best to question the Ph.D of someone named "pantyhose." ;3

I think you're mixing up the Victorian and Elizabethan periods. ;3

That's a great quote, but you've misstated Saint-Exupery's lifespan. ;3 He died in 1944, not 1994.
Vonnegut didn't write it, though. ;3

That's fixed, but wasn't merged into the 1.0 branch because of a few problems it caused with other things. The full fix should be in 1.1.
