what other nation has elected an alcoholic coke-head as their numero uno?
Coke-heads? Hell, Bolivia just elected a coca grower as president.
And there's always been plenty of drunks getting elected to high office. Winston Churchill was a heavy boozer all his life, and didn't make any particular effort to hide it. (One night at an official ball of some sort, he was confronted by a female MP, who said: "Sir Winston! You are drunk!" - to which he replied: "Yes, I am. And you, madam, are ugly. But tomorrow morning, I shall be sober.")
I think it's time for Bush to start drinking again. He's tried governing sober, and it's just not working out so good. A change of strategy is called for.
For future interoperability. GPL v2 is not compatible with GPL v3; so if a piece of code is "GPL v2 only" it can't be incorporated into a GPL v3 project.
And yeah, it does create a situation where you basically have to trust the FSF not to do something nasty. But I don't think this is a huge problem. What's the worst that can happen if I license my work under "GPL v3 or later"? They can write v4 which is so insane that nobody wants it; in which case, people would just choose to distribute my software under v3. Or they can remove the copyleft restriction in v4, which means that Microsoft could take my code and use it in Explorer 13.0, or whatever, without giving anything back; which would be a bummer, but the code would still be available under the old license if anybody wants it.
for a Republican to rape underage puppies I'm just curious, what is the legal age of consent for puppies? This is a purely hypothetical question, mind you.
Bill Clinton was charged with perjury, he was never convicted. Get your facts straight.
And why are we even talking about Bill Clinton?! That slippery son of a bitch has been out of office for several years, and he's got absolutely nothing to do with this story.
As for myself, I own an inkjet, but I only use it about 2-3 times a year. If I actually printed significant amounts of stuff, I'd probably get a laser printer too.
Let the MARKET decide, neh? If it's as big a deal as most people make it out to be (and I think it is... the pricing on cartridges is obscene), then they will be punished by the marketplace. You admit that there is a problem. And it's rather obvious that the market isn't fixing it, because this shit's been going on for years. So why do you still push the "let the market decide" line?
Actually, I'm a little suspicious of this story. I googled it and all I could find was this Slashdot story and the source it links to - which is a forum posting that reproduces an email which was supposedly received by a Time Warner customer. There's nothing about this on TW's official site, and no other news sites have written anything. I'm not saying it's not true, it's just a little unusual for Slashdot to publish breaking news like that.
the population density is far too low in North America to make it financially feasible for ISPs to lay out improved infrastructure as they become available. Yeah, the average density is lower. But most people don't live in average areas. There are large chunks of the US which are very densely populated; but from what I've seen, the quality of ISPs in those areas isn't any better. Why do you think that is?
A smart P2P client should be able to strip out the identifying tags automatically. Not that I would ever advocate copyright infringement, just hypothetically speaking.
With or without lighter fluid? I start mine with newspapers and dry sticks. Takes a little more skill than lighter fluid, and I really mean "a little". You can get one of those chimney things, but it's optional.
A lot of people make grilling more complicated than it needs to be. All you really need is a sturdy metal grate, some hard wood (DO NOT use soft resinous woods like pine - it creates a lot of soot and makes the food taste funky) and something to light it with.
It means that there's overlap among women who reported that managers who reported that/. editors give up English language skills in order to keep their jobs.
on previous occasions they've falsely accused me of being a drug addict, and my aunt of being the Duchess of Gloucester OK, that sounds intriguing. Got any more on this subject?
Jerry is in no position to denounce shit right now. Haven't you been reading the news? And I think you're overestimating him. Yeah, he'd denounce the killings, but he'd also sneak in some little caveat about how it's all the fault of the homosexuals.
I've heard that our heavy dependence on corn as an additive (e.g., corn syrup) is one main contributor to the lack of affordable, healthful food options in grocery stores. Might this work to reverse that trend? There's plenty of cheap, healthy food at my local store - for those who want it. The problem is that many Americans never bothered to learn how to cook their own food, so they're dependent on the pre-processed stuff, which is usually less healthy and always more expensive.
I might as well boycot Debian because it's under the auspices of GWB.
If Debian was "under the auspices of GWB" I sure as hell wouldn't use it. But it's not, so this is a moot point. The real question is, why the fuck is a Linux conference being sponsored by the Interior Ministry? And what's the nature of this sponsorship? There's a blurb on the linuxtag page, along with the Minister's cheerful mug, but it's in German. Does anybody know what's going on?
Woody Allen (back when he was still funny) did something sort of like that. He took a low-budget Japanese-made James Bond knock-off, and overdubbed his own dialog. It was called "What's Up Tiger Lily".
Also, the DVD for "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" includes a feature called "subtitles for people who don't like the movie" (it consists of lines from 'Henry IV, Part II').
A friend of a friend of mine used to work at MTV. One April Fool's day, someone circulated a memo saying that all employees will be subject to drug testing. It caused a widespread panic. It became obvious that none of the employees would be able to pass the test.
As for myself, I've never pissed in a cup for anyone except my dearest and closest friends.
Even George Washington warned against the formation of political parties.
The formation of parties is inevitable. Washington's mistake was thinking that he could simply ignore them. That's why the US Constitution doesn't even mention parties. Which is directly responsible for our incredibly screwed up primary election system, and the monopolization of power by the two leading parties.

You need to buy a Greek keyboard for that. If you're doing advanced math, it's a worthy investment.

OK, fair enough.

Thanks for giving me another reason not to move to Florida.

Name one colony that is now prosperous that was liberated during the twentieth century without going through socialism.
Ireland?

Also, the fact that Gonzales is backing this thing is actually good news. Right now, nobody in Congress wants to be associated with him.
