Oh, my goodness. You don't remember the Jonestown massacre, Charlie Manson, or the Moonies, do you? Or Peter Popov, the faith healer fraud exposed by James Randi? Or the Balkan war?
If we reach back a bit before liviing memory, we have the Crusades and the Inquisition merely in Christianity's history. The Scientologists have done _nothing_ new compared to these incidents.
Then how did Noah have great-grandchildren? Or was that why they brought pairs of animals, so Noah's grandchildren would have something to breed with besides their cousins?
Unfortunately for such historical comparison, the Bible was assembled from numerous historical and apocryphal works by a committee: the literary arguments about what should and should not go in the King James bible are fascinating material, but the _authors_ of the material had been dead for hundreds of years, so there's not so much historical fact preserved about them.
Rape, incest, slavery, murder, and genocide are all quite common in the Old Testament, though, especially including King David.
We've seen religious manipulation of Google before. Years back, the scientologists created the world's largest website to flood the search engine's results and prevent people from seeing all the references to the god "Xenu" and the cult's historically criminal behavior at the top of websearches on Scientology. Technologically, it was a fascinating effort: Google apparently had to stop scanning it and retool in order to handle sites that large.
Porting software between 32 and 64 bit architectures is not just recompiling: there are error conditions. Depending on whether the source is C or Java, elementary components (like 'long long' in C) may have rather different behavior and require cautious code review. And most 32-bit compiled software, even with shared libraries, can run on 64-bit operating systems: the reverse is certainly not true. So if you can only publish one set of libraries, it's safer for now to make it i386 compatible.
But it is a requirement to stop violating the GPL. I was rather hoping they'd turn out to be in serious violation, just to serve them right for this "we'll let you do the open work, and benefit from it, but keep our guts closed". NVidia does this with OpenGL in their drivers, and it really bothers me. And Spotify could conceivably be using their own code from scratch, or more likely be working from a BSD licensed original code base: I'm not saying they need be in violation of anything. It would simply be fun, and ironic, and help force them to play the open source or free software game properly, if it turned out they were in GPL violation. This "we'll just publish a binary blob" thing is too common.
The FSF likes the GPL for powerful, historical reasons: it prevents the tragedy of the commons that happened with UNIX some time ago, and look at what's been created successfully and protected from proprietization of various sorts with it. The FSF likes it because it _works_, as effective legal akido using the proprietary secret software's creator's own rules against them.
Proper nipple use is not instinctive, at least for humans. Ask any nursing mother about the first breast feeding of her children, and be prepared to cringe.
Thank you: I didn't have an Ubuntu in hand, but was amused by the attempts to backspace-manage the '/' in the original command, and the handwaving for the "sed with this". The 'sed -i' command is one of the more useful feature additions to sed of the last 20 years.
I'm sorry, I should not have accidentally used HTML format:
rsync -avH/etc/apt//etc/apt.orig/ --delete # Makes sure you have an up-to-date copy
apt-get install apt-p2p # or use synaptic for a GUI interface
sed -i 's%//%/localhost:9977/%g'/etc/apt/sources.list apt-get update
Try this, based on your note. (I don't have an Ubuntu system in hand).
rsync -avH/etc/apt//etc/apt.orig/ --delete # Makes sure you have an up-to-date copy
apt-get install apt-p2p # or use synaptic for a GUI interface

apt-get update
Many primary Linux download sites wind up taking an unreasonable amount of traffic from default setups. If you want to contribute back to the OS's and packages that you find so useful, consider setting up a local mirror to share with the world at large. If you can't justify that, at least consider setting up an internal rsync mirror anytime you have a dozen or more boxes to make updates and downloads much faster for your site, and configure your local machines to point to that local mirror.
This turns out to be especially useful for PXE installaters and cluster setups, for any Linux or other OS. There's nothing like having 100 internal Linux machines all trying to update OpenOffice at the same time from an external primary site, through a corporate DSL line, to ensure that many of the updates will fail.
I've _certainly_ seen exactly this kind of error on an ATM: I could speculate on various reasons for it, but the drift is certainly noticeable on many of htem.
Well, they have the now-classic problems of needing to add new features to draw more users, to keep users from getting bored, and especially to convince investors and advertisers that there's any growth market for them. This means constantly using their infrastructure in new ways: new database manipulations, new tables, new display utilities, and retaining compatibility across a broad range of clients and older applications. This inevitably slows down new releases.
Oh, I wasn't trying to further discredit Palin. I simply point out that even _that_ one, which was relatively innocuous, had political content worth leaking, even though you somehow seem to have missed the parts in her email about state appointments and the Department of Public Safety. If you can bear to read it, it's interesting to see what she writes without campaign handlers writing every word for her.
But with that in mind, I'm contradicting the person who just claimed that most of what's on Wikileaks "should have remained secret and for good reason". That conent, like many others on Wikileaks, is not interesting to everyone but is material with excellent reasons to be revealed.
And 'thin-clients'. And 'remote terminals'. And 'X terminals'. And doubtless dozens of other cute names for lowend, remote clients to a more centralized set of resources: what's changed is that those resources are now at Google and Wikipedia, not in your local computer room.
Name _one_ Wikileaks post that should have been kept secret. Seriously, almost of the material is kept secret for embarassing political reasons, information that "special" bureaucrats and government officials had but which they wished to keep secret to avoid prosecution. Even Sarah Palin's email showed how she was doing government business on her personal account that she should have turned over to previous subpoenas she'd received.
An occasional 'crunch time' is just life: it's easy to slack off on a project when things go well, and add extra features or levels to fill your worktime, and find an unexpected market need or disaster in QA cause a last minute crunch. It's when crunch time is for every project, and you can never get your staff _out_ of crunch time that it's blatant mismanagement and manpower starvation. I've seen excellent engineers driven into the ground by that kind of misuse of their time, where they were never allowed to fix issues or do their work far enough in advance to avoid panic-laden crunch times: it's deadly to good engineering.

Hee-hee-hee-hee. And then the magic fairies will come and give me a pony!!!
No. _Catholicism_ insists that Christ was God. Whether a christian group believe shit is a source of heretical arguments for many centuries.

Yes: and they do stash quite a bit of information inside our bodies, in order to successfully reproduce their DNA (or equivalent for mitochondria).
Then how did Noah have great-grandchildren? Or was that why they brought pairs of animals, so Noah's grandchildren would have something to breed with besides their cousins?
Too late: how do you think mitochondria and E. Coli happened among our ancestor species?

That would be amusing if it turned out to have significant GPL components and force them to release the source.

I was reminded of automobiles, especially dashboards.
Except when you have to reinstall machines, do a network wide upgrade, or have 100 machines updating openoffice or kernels on the same night.

Not if the data of the cookies is shared via a common resource, such as doubleclick or googleanalytics.
