But, some of the things make Ubuntu Ubuntu and Fedora Fedora. For example, having no root account by default makes Ubuntu different... Last time I checked, Ubuntu did have a root account, but the password hash is set to a single bang (!), which is impossible to match. Enabling the root account is as easy as changing the root password.
Be that as it may, Bogtha is correct. We aren't talking about what works here, we are talking about what the standard says. The standard for XHTML says to use a slash, the standard for HTML 4 says not to. That is the discussion, and really, the end of it.
The safer way seems to be to type out all the characters you need plus some (say the whole alphabet in uppercase AND lowercase, 0-9, and a smattering of punctuation) into Word or Wordpad (not fixed width), move the Window around the screen, and, then use the mouse and keyboard to copy and paste the characters into the password field.
Not unless:
(1) You're dumb enough to link to that file on a page that google indexes

Wrong. It doesn't matter the least who *actually* sucks.
It's true that it doesn't matter who sucks. That fact, however, doesn't actually make what I said wrong.
The average user doesn't care. And you know what? He shouldn't have to either.
That's fine, but it doesn't make drivers magically appear out of thin air. They still have to be written. This is not a trivial task, especially when the specifications are not available.
If you had actually bothered to check the link (who am I kidding, this is/.) you would find that the devs have sorted out the NDA situation already...
Gun laws are now being tightened in Australia (thankfully), with farmers being required to justify ownership of handguns. And it's about time.
The civilian ownership of guns in the USA is a false sense of power and security. Should anything happen, in response to which the use of guns would be appropriate, your army of (1) Go-it-alone Rambos; (2) idiots who don't know which end of the gun to hold; (3) patriots who will side with the government, no matter what they say or do; and (4) wack-jobs who will use it as an excuse to carry out personal vendettas will be entirely ineffective against the large amount of the military and police-force who will do as they are told.
If my laptop isn't supported by linux (any distro), then linux sucks!
Wrong. If your hardware manufacturer doesn't release decent drivers for Linux, the manufacturer sucks*.
Linux devs are working their asses off in their parents basements, hacking and testing drivers for hardware that they don't have access to the interface specifications for. If things still look a little shakey, just remember to be glad that they work at all, given the hours of work for $0 return.
When you are done giving thanks, complain to your hardware manufacturer, who does make money from the deal, and does have the full specifications - AND for reasons unknown, have turned down the offer of OSS developers writing the drivers for them, for free.
It's a great way to work - I love it. I generally have 10-15 tabs open all the time, which I restore every time I restart firefox.
But I suppose this is why some of us keep all sorts of junk on our computer desktop and others prefer to keep everything tucked away or at least in folders on the desktop. Some of us just likes living in a mess.
I work like this, and I always have. I've always had a messy room, but I've always been able to find what it was I was looking for fairly easily. Every time mum made me clean my room, I couldn't find squat, despite the fact that I was the one who put everything away.
Previously, on slashdot... we discussed why messy desks are more efficient than clean ones. It's like working a stack in a computer program, except rather than being a regimental push/pop of the top item, it's a general "the stuff you use the most is closest to the top". http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/03/21/1312258
Contrary to the beliefs of most American citizens, the USA is not the world. It is in fact April 1 here, and has been for 8 and a half hours. It had been for 5 and a half hours when you posted:

Due to an invention called "timezones", virtually everyone around the world gets to experience midday when the sun is highest in the sky. In fact, traveling across these "timezones" allows people, objects, and data, to travel through time, both forwards and backwards.

People obsessed over their own (and usually, others) appearance forgetting all about verbal communication or keeping up with news making it impossible to keep up smalltalk.
I find that, while conversing with females, that Smalltalk has its place, as long as Java is involved. That said, Ruby and Perl are very effective. You can try Python, but that will often do more bad than good.

Precisely. Because gun ownership in the USA has prevented unconstitutional laws, illegal wiretapping and government-mandated human rights abuses.
