He's lost, Jim. There's nothing I can do.
That sounds like a hardware version of the RedHat network icon that would flash red if you needed to update, blue if it was updating and green if you were ok.
"Once a football team fields a goalie the exact height and width of the goal, we may see some outcry."
I think that the average citizen here in America is coming close to that, at least in width, I'm afraid.
I guess they're not letting them carry swiss army knives into the statue because W. is afraid that someone might try to hijack the statue, like in Ghostbusters II.
You're absolutley right. And read this except from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism "A one-person, one-vote democracy was rejected in favor of representation by interest groups."
Now, what does this sound like? Calling Bush a Facist (in a literal sense) seems reasonable.
Microsoft has funded 13 studies over the past year comparing Linux with its own products. Guess what: All of them come out in favor of MicroSoft. The studies are generously referenced in an advertising campaign dubbed "Get the Facts." Can Linux really handle crucial areas such as security and e-mail?"
Yeah, I have a copy of that "Study" (in my hands, right now) and in it they talk about UNIX not Linux . They never really talk about why they have found Linux to be technically inferior. Instead, they skirt the issues with graphs like the "Gartner Magic Quadrant for WS Major Vendor Influence", which gages the "Ability to Execute" and "Completeness of Vision." That is bullshit on a stick. There is also a bar graph titled "Product Support: Lifecycle for Desktops" in which they claim that Windows has a lifecycle of eight years while Linux only has a lifecycle of two. If this is so, then why is MicroSoft pushing upgrades like Pablo Escobar pushed cocaine? And last but not least there is the story of Maidenform, a seller of brassieres, which MicroSoft claimed spent more on UNIX than on their switch to Windows. Again, UNIX not Linux . And they did. Except that the cost of hardware for UNIX was higher because they leased the three servers, as opposed to the cost of buying one from Compaq, which is listed in the total cost of Windows for this company.
Now, I'm not going to argue that the inital cost of buying UNIX is lower than that of buying Windows. It's not. UNIX is generally more expensive. But MicroSoft is using this fact to claim that Linux is more expensive to own. Again, bullshit on a atick.
Now, I'm not an IT professional. (I'm actually just a bored teenager who obtained the study by claiming that I was an IT pro.) But from where I see it, MicroSoft is lying. And that's not nescisarily a bad thing. It means that they cannot legitimately beat Linux.
They're going to have to get the French DGSE to spy on Apple for them! Don't believe me? The French will do it:

"You may not be much safer while aboard an airliner. Anderson says the French have been accused of bugging seats in the first-class section of their airliners. Ditto for French hotel rooms frequented by executives. "
Space is just like the sea in a legal sense (Ever noticed Star Trek operated like the Navy?). So commerical development should be regulated in mostly the same way. Now, what does this mean for uninhabited worlds? I'd say that whoever gets there first can claim everything they survey. But their claim is only valid if they can enforce it. And if a private corporation claims something, it belongs to the country where the corporation was encorporated. What does this mean? It means that the Cayman Islands will be one of the world's largest spacefairing powers.
"They will also have to deal with things like - eminent domain, and abandanment laws, as well as the property taxes"
Don't forget those pesky Klingons.
Yeah, mine can run for about 3.5 hours at most on lowest backlight without PCMCIA card, reading from optical disc or doing processor-heavy activity (Playing long DivX movies, playing fullscreen games, etc.)
I can get through a 2-hour DivX movie on battery.
I think this makes iTunes the first mainstream online music store to run under Linux. Apple should really try a native port, 'cuz if they did they would own the Linux market for music stores.
Step 1: Port iTunes to Linux
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!
Slashdot Mirror
"The horror! The horror!"
"And, preferable, let ANYONE else write them."
Like Harve Bennett. Hopefully he could do for Star Wars what he did for the Star Trek films.
"2) I wonder what the poll results would be if it was conducted as a Slashdot poll? I'm guessing Spock would win due to the nerd contingent."

I've got Firefox and it works just fine.
I can see the Fark.com headline now: "Japanese build robots that wrestle, find Sarah Connor."
That sounds like a hardware version of the RedHat network icon that would flash red if you needed to update, blue if it was updating and green if you were ok.
You probably gained most of the weight back as muscle. Before, it was mainly fat.
"Sounds like this may have more than one use. Like steroids."
Or botulisim.

Now we can have fun with "Alien vs BSA Copyright Ferret!"

For the world is holo and I have touched the sky!
Lucky for this guy, ihatefallwell.com, fallwellblows.com and fallwellsucks.com are all still avadable.

Whenever I hear about Fox, the opening riff from Eric Clapton's song "Cocaine" goes through my head.
As to this whole, evil DRM regulation: When the first ammendment fails, use the second.

That thing looks cool, but will it sync with Linux?
Yeah. I get that alot at school.
"industry leading Windows 2000 stability and performance"
That's up there with "I did not have sexual relations with that woman." in terms of truth.

You need a 12" Powerbook, man.
