It's important that the presentation layer be kept separate, and that the unformatted documents remain available, otherwise the tastes of the formatters will be imposed upon the reader.
It would make sense if the LDP hosted at least one, but maybe more, formatting projects, but that these remain separated from the content production process.
I don't get the anti-semitism charge at all: as I understand it (I haven't had achance to see it yet) all the characters that aren't Roman are Jewish. Christ and disciples were all Jews too: it's surely a rebellion against authority, with the authority figures made to look bad, not an ethnic group.
I expect I'm missing something.
they'll be able to tell us in advance we're all going to die and there's damn all they can do to stop it.
Still, I guess that's a better excuse for a really reprehensible party than most:)
I don't say that we shouldn't fight terror, any more than we shouldn't fight crime. What I'm saying, albeit poorly, is that in deciding the balance between individual liberty and the fight against terror, we must take a step back and look at what terrorism actually does. Physically, the effects are not statisticly significant. The real effect is, as the word terrorism implies, the emotional impact that it has on society. If we let our response be governed by that reaction, we lose our liberties, and the terrorists achieve what they set out to do.
The correct response to any terrorist attack, surely, is not to scream and shout and run in circles, nor to pull up the drawbridge and lock ourselves away, but to carry on as usual, and, while we try to catch terrorists, to make it plain by our conduct as free societies that terrorists do not have the power to change one damn thing that matters.
The peoples of democratic countries need to wake up to the fact that terrorism represents less of a threat than their own governments' response to it.
Even 9/11, the worst terrorist attack in history, did not do much to increase the annual rate of homicides in the US. It remains much more dangerous to cross the street, drive to the supermarket, walk in the hills, or go for a drink on a weekend night (let alone smoking or eating burgers).
We need to accept, and insist our governments accept, that there are risks involved in the world, of which terrorism is by no means the greatest, and that these cannot be eliminated while maintining a reasonable quality of life.
Exactly, and most of those in-house jobs are only viable because of the opportunities to make use of Open source software: imagine if you had to write everything from scratch! Even if it was cost effective for the company, your brain would melt from the sheer boredom.
I prefer my software to be Open Source, for lots of good reasons. The reason that OSS is creeping up on proprietary is that it is better. That doesn't mean that there is something morally wrong with prorietary software. If you don't like it, don't use it, but, as we brits say, don't get your knickers in such a twist.
Yes, Interviews can be enjoyable: think of them as an opportunity to meet new people with interests similar to your own, where it is perfectly polite to talk mostly about yourself.
Get your BS in CS, get a job doing something related to your interest just to show you can hold a job down and for some experience points. then go 4 your masters after a couple of years. You come out of that fresh from college, but with a resume.
'It's hard to see how any website could withstand that kind of clever evil.' Well you could always ask MS how they managed to survive the myDoom.b virus. Of course the clown who wrote this was completely unaware that there were two variants, or that the DDOS's were not the main payload.
If Lindows need to rename their product, they'll need a name that conjures up an image of something you open, and through which you gain access to where you want to go today.
How about calling it Gates?

The best stuff will always default to A4, because the best stuff is written in Europe
>(i) you distribute the Software .... for the sole purpose of running, your Programs.
That sounds to me as if a distro couldn't distribute Java unless it was also distributing a lot of software that needed to to run.
Debian doesn't, so it can't.

That is implied by my reference to US homicide stats

I don't want to be too PC, but I'm really uncomfortable reading the 'N' word.
Just so I know when to start looking for news, what's the time difference between MST and GMT? TIA

... if configured as servers, will they be mightier than the blade?

I think you mean 'is that a gnu in your pocket?'
