Are the glibc libraries under the GPL as well? I've always known about the GPL, that it existed, but only recently looked into what it means and says, that if you use one tiny snippet of GPL code in your program, you MUST make your entire program GPL'd -- not just the code you used. Even if you dynamically link to a GPL library, your program must be GPL'd.
I always thought, before I did actual research, that the GPL was a sort of public-domain-esque but copyright-enforced license that allowed you to use GPL code as-you-please as long as you provide sources to what you used. And I noticed that the C libraries on my Linux system appear to be by the GNU project. Now I'm paranoid -- are the GNU C libraries under the GPL? Or the LGPL? Or was RMS smart enough to make exceptions to those libraries to give Linux programmers actual choice?
His thumb is as long and lanky as his other fingers, and he's completely missing his pinky except for a nub. Presumably he lost his pinky in a tea drinking accident at the catillion.
Not to mention he appears to have had his legs amputated and yet is capable of standing via hovering in mid-air. No doubt, he made a deal with Satan to grant him such forbidden magicks of the ancients of the templed pillar-cities of lizard people.
Last but not least, the man's face indicates to me this individual is none other than TV's Dave Coulier, sitcom actor from Full House and our favorite host of Out Of Control. Hah-hah! CUT-IT-OUUUUT!
In all seriousness, I blame Lyndon Johnson. Because if Barry Goldwater were president, the Republicans just may well still believe in a small, heavily-limited federal government today. Goldwater was probably the last reasonable Republican to run for president.
Nowadays the Republicans are no different than Democrats: resorting to government heavy-handedness and reckless tax-and-spend policies to achieve their dubious agendas.
Normally such a building would cost only $92 million. But this is Iraq -- that extra $500 million is going to provide the democratic principles of roller-coaster rides, petting zoos, and videogame arcades to the impoverished and orphaned diplomats and UN bureaucrats who are tired of playing Street Fighter II and log plume rides.

Doesn't patriotism mean exactly that -- being bothered by un-American acts, not excluding those un-American acts of law by Congress? Since when does Congress -- or ANY branch of government, for that matter -- have authority to circumvent the system of checks and balances we have in place?
I may be a little out of the loop here on technical specifics, so I have to ask: what information, exactly, will these cards contain about us? Will they have readable, exploitable information "Ben Dover, 429 Elephant Butt Street, Rectum Alabama 90210", or will they contain irreversible hash values that you compare but which themselves cannot be used as actual human-readable data during transactions?
Even if the latter, knowing a little bit about the government's track record of producing crappy, break-prone cryptography systems (at least a lot of the ones that eventually leaked to the public) and general bureaucratic dipshittery going on that comes with anything-bureaucracy, and even considering that this is more meddling of the federal government in which it has no Constitutional authority whatsoever, I'm going to refuse using this, no matter how mandatory or punishable by jail it may be in the near or distant future.
What would you say is quality 'X' that differentiates Asperger's Syndrome people from non-AS people who have many of the common AS-indicative qualities?
Every time I hear AS described -- difficulty in social situations, sometimes unintentionally rude, intelligent but horrible at academia, etc -- I think, "well that describes a lot of people who don't necessarily have AS". What would you say would be THE defining quality, if you had to pick one, that defines (beyond a shadow of a doubt) a person with AS from people who are just merely shy/smart-but-reserved/etc?
Interesting point. I remember my mom always tried to win arguments with me when I was a kid by the "stop it! You're just being argumentative. Remember the psychologist said you have... Oppositional Defiance Disorder? You're arguing because you have ODD." argument. When, looking back, she was indeed wrong on many arguments and I was indeed clearly in the right. Parents really don't like to be called out that they're wrong when they are indeed wrong, and even if ODD is real, it's certainly abused by some to the point of being a condescending form of a lame cop-out by parental figures during arguments, rather than owning their kids with logic and reason. And then we wonder why some people grow up into adult life with below-average reasoning skills.
Assuming that works sort of like viewing changes between two revisions of a Wikipedia article, I'd say the only part of the Real ID act that was struck out was the part where it says "This division may be cited as the Real ID Act of 2005." The other stuff stricken out looks unrelated to the Real ID part.
I don't think its as good news as it first appears to be, unless I'm mistaken.
No mainstream Republican will be able to claim they represent small government ever again, when they voted in a president who signs such a reckless and constitutionally irresponsible bill into law.
What will happen to those of us who refuse to sign up for an identity card? Or sends the assigned ID card back to the Big Bureau of Bureaucracy cut into shreds in an act of protest? Jail?
1kb? You kids had it good. When I was your age, the Internet was just a pellican carrying abacus beads across the ocean, and that's assuming the damn bird didn't eat them! And that's assuming a shark didn't eat the pellican!
If your penis shrinks, shouldn't you just spend that money on a hooker instead? It seems a video card would be counter-productive in this matter of affairs.
It's okay to use a gym for only one part of your body. Have you seen a picture of Linus Torvalds? Big flabby belly and a couple of chins -- but his arms are rippling with muscle. He looks like one of those Gorons from Legend of Zelda.
I'm just hoping it won't reveal an aging, gray-haired trio of Farrah Fawcett, Kirk Douglas, and Harvey Keitel having an utterly boring and dry threesome sex orgy with a jealous robot watching from the corner.
Somewhere out there, some alien creature out there has a penis shaped just right that it can use a Toblerone box for a condom. And his alien girlfriend has pyramids for breasts.
Let's hurry up with this intergalactic space exploration already!
BBC news is also a bit surreal, in my experience; at least its World News portion, when you will on certain occasions hear -- I am not making this up -- music by IDM/electronic artists such as Boards Of Canada and Aphex Twin playing in the background to certain prominent news stories, for no apparent reason. Particularly some of the more sinister-sounding tracks from SAW2 playing whenever they show footage of the Palestinian territories whenever Israel and Palestine get into their usual childish scuffles.
I can't say I can imagine the BBC's motive in doing this, acting as a sort of subliminal-MTV while presenting news stories, but the British certainly aren't stupid; there's a utilitarian purpose behind it somewhere. I can't say I've ever heard music other than that generic, cliche "deet deet dee-deet deet" inter-commercial news music playing on American news shows.

I did? Was I in a coma while someone else voted on my behalf back in 2000 and 2004? I must have missed something.

Sorry, but including two phrases in the bill which disallow judicial review of executive behavior is not Constitutional.
"I am not bothered by anything in this bill".

You're right.

He invented them.
