Unfortunately, there's nothing to stop you from compiling the latest kdevelop from raw source and then spamming the forums with whining posts about how it doesn't "just work". Think of the other 450 megs of junk as the cost of support - if you do things the distro way, you're pretty much guaranteed a smooth ride, no other "support method" needed.
Rally schmally. You protester types always forget there's life outside political activism. If you really want to get people interested, why not posit a scenario such as "you might get labeled a ter'ist sympathizer for displaying negative emotions in the presence of american national symbols". Favorite team unlikely to win? Better keep a straight face while they're playing the anthem, buddy!
Erm. Yes. They would, actually, if the same conditions were present as then (i.e. the passengers could be convinced that there is more reward in cooperating than risk in actively resisting). This could be done in one of two ways: increasing the potential cost of resistance or increasing the rewards of co-operation. Think about it.
I dunno. Common sense seems a commodity in short supply somedays. For instance, someone modded my previous post -1 Overrated - and it was the first mod.
Ac'lly, it's trivial to generate a fibonacci sequence (and even to draw it) in LISP. It has this neat thing where functions can call themselves over and over again. Try doing that in BASIC someday. Logo's trouble was (and still is) the lack of teachers - most think, like you do, that it's just a neat lil' proggy for moving a turtle around with scripts - which it is, in a way. Imagine my shock when twenty years (literally) after learning LOGO I pick up a LISP book expecting to find all sorts of heavy stuff and find instead concepts I'd grokked way back when I was a kid explained like they were new and rich and real hard to get your head around. They may be, for someone who's pushed pointers around all his life.
Heh. Please explain the "typically" in your post. What I'm saying is that the stock price itself should be considered an independent variable in analysis.
Batteries schmatteries. There are many other ways to power flying stuff, some with much bigger energy densities. How about, say, steam? Gyros? Accelerometers? Processors? Why? If you're not very particular about aspect and you're willing to lose a few craft, you can do with just a heavyish, flat tail for stabilization. You can solve the heading problem by simply making the things point to the most brightly lit thing around - the Sun will tend to be that thing more often than not so you can pick a spot roughly between it and your target and let the bugs fly away... If something like this hasn't been patented yet, I claim prior art, of course.
Because they'll come wring your neck in the night if you don't, eventually. Fact of life. Happened lots of times before, will happen again. The constant threat of rioting is what keeps the plebs furnished with bread and circus. Interesting that you consider yourself to be one of the rich and powerful. I bet they'd disagree.
Stock prices aren't based on analyst's opinions or on business internals, no matter how much analysts would like you to believe that. Markets simply bet on themselves and are pretty accurate at doing that (hence all the talk about "trends").
Two-move cycles are illegal. Longer cycles aren't. It may well be that such cycles exist. The number of possible games would be infinite if that is true. Proving their (in)existence is left as an exercise to the reader.
Do you read what you write, or just post stream-of-consciousness-like?
But you won't be able to hack into the unit because you don't know the protocols, keys, encryption methods, or anything else about the call process." But the manufacturers of OnStar do. That info is readily available to law enforcement (peril #1 in my book) and also, less readily (perhaps at the cost of bribing/threatening a couple employees), to anyone else. Great, innit?
Darn good question. 1. Their idea is to cool only the area responsible for seizures, not the whole brain. 2. Your idea might work, if not for the fact that it's damn hard to expose those arteries without breaking stuff around them - other arteries, muscles, tendons, veins, important nerves and whatnot; sinking a pipe into a known area of someone's brain is comparatively straightforward.
Badly defined mission statements are a nice way to extract work without pay, yes, especially from middle management and creative types. Everyone should be paid based on the value they create - but of course for some "knowledge workers" the value gets so big so fast that business owners prefer to go with "targets" and "bonuses" and other such types of bull instead of paying fair wages. Getting hired by the job is the smart thing to do when you're faced with such practices but you have some leverage - as top-shelf execs and a few other types of highly-specialized pros have found out. Even when you're in such a position, compensation is still a matter of time/effort invested vs returns. As for salesmen... don't get me started. Really.
Basically, that's how it should be - no work without pay and a fair hourly rate for any kind of work, with any variance from normal working hours or conditions compensated, days off every week, paid vacation time, days off for childbirth or ilness and so on. People fought and died - in the US, of all places - for the 8-hour workday and you're basically pissing all over their sacrifice with your flippant remarks. Your children might have to fight the same battle all over again. Think about it.
Where did that number come from? I don't know the guy who wrote the article you cite and he doesn't cite any sources. Also, was XP-N made available in significant numbers? How about cost and the other questions I raised?
You don't have to uninstall it to have choice. Install an alternative, use it. Really? I'd be happy to show you first hand why such "choice" really isn't, if you could just be so nice as to visit a certain webpage I could provide with a browser that's Java- or Flash-enabled. There are simple ways to call explorer.exe from within another browser; there's even a Firefox extension that does just that.

i have mod points, but I don't know how to use them in your case, so I'll just comment: your post would require a +1 Commonsensical mod.
Nonono! It would be a waste to waste such brilliant minds as yours, kind sirs. Between yourselves, you managed to reinvent one-time pads.
How do you propose to aim this?

Might want to consider thermite, actually.

Seconded, and I don't care enough about my karma to post anonymously.

It's practically an algorithmic certainty.
The Z-machine is obsolete. There are easier ways to pump the required volts, one of which has recently been bought from the russkies.
Target a plane, in flight, from another plane. Dead, along with his family, no evidence. Bafflement and panic cited as causes.
I have mod points and I almost modded you funny, but then I thought better of it. Nigeria has oil.
