hell, why would anything be done, in Africa hundreds die a day in hunger and still nothing is done.
They starve thanks to corruption. In many ways, corruption in countries like Nigeria is so rampant, it is a way of life. And don't get me started on lawlessness in places like Rwanda. Complete chaos.
Get rid of corruption, and Africa, with the current amount of aid they receive, would not be starving.
The RIAA (and whatever the fuck the Austrialian equivalent is) are screwing artists out of a good living, overcharging for thier product by maintaining an artifical lock on distribution, and discouraging new/interesting music because having just a few big name bands is more profitable. Your comparison isn't valid.
One question, why do Artists sign contracts with them? If RIAA and others were useless, artists would not use them for distribution.

Now, now, while Linux is definitly not "ready for the desktop"
Stop talking crap. Linux *is* ready for desktop. It was ready A LONG time ago.
It is only up to users if they will use it. But there is no correlation between Linux ready for desktop and number of users running it as a desktop.
I mean, is Windows 2.0 ready for desktop? Is Windows 3.1 ready for desktop? Is Windows 95 (98, Me?) ready? Compare all of that with what Linux delivers today. Now compare the number of users still using Windows 95 to number of users of Linux (for desktop!).

Measure A/B, convert the resulting fraction into a hexadecimal string, and there's your data. Only problem is that your microscope has to be really good.
They better turn on their Heisenberg Compensators!
"winmodem" or "controlless" modem are all crap (not really a modem). What is needed is a *hardware* modem. ALL hardware modems are supported by linux because they are just serial devices. Serial devices are the/dev/ttyS* devices.
/dev/ttyS0 -> COM1
/dev/ttyS1 -> COM 2
/dev/ttyS2 -> COM 3
/dev/ttyS3 -> COM 4
etc..
non-hardware modems are about $20. Hardware modems are about $50+ or so.
For broadband, if the modem connects to your box with an ethernet cable, then it is probably supported as it either uses PPPoE or DHCP.
Before this gets modded as troll or flamebait, read it again. All I'm saying is that theories are one thing. Presenting theories as facts is another thing entirely.
The sun/cosmic rays create ozone at contant rate X. The sun/atmospheric reactions destroy ozone at rate Y. The rates will also have a factor proportional to the amount of ozone.
If you don't understand what the above implies, read it again.
HINT: You get a steady state solution. A type of a balance where the ozone layer will tend to average out to a certain value over a period of time.
What CFC do is increase the rate of destruction of ozone. That will decrease the amount of ozone over a period of time. The ozone will never dissapear, but you might just need a SPF 75 sun screen to be in the sun for more than 10 minutes.
Also, if you don't understand, the result gives more detail into what rate X and Y might actually be. That's all!
The "theory" about CFCs destroying ozone is a fact. It's been shown and reproduced over and over again the lab experiments. Saying otherwise is like saying that atoms don't exist.
This assumption is frequently made before any actual research is performed. Doesn't matter if the problem would have happened anyway... we're at fault because we're fundamentally evil, you see.
Not evil. Numbers, my friend, numbers. If one person shits into a lake, well, nothing happens. If 6 billion people shit into a lake (heck, pick any sea for that matter!), virtually all the life in it will be affected.
A city of 1 million can do whatever to *try* to screw up the planet and it will not happen. A population of 5 billion will affect the environment they live in even if they don't want to affect it.
For cetnralized Linux distribution, just add `apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade` and run it from cron. Then just maintain the central repository of approved apps.
Why can't individuals copyright their own personal information (name, address, SS#, phone number)
Maybe because they didn't create them? You also can't copyright 'tekrat' or similar names/titles because names/titles are not works in themselves.
I think it's high time individuals treated themselves like corporations.
Corporations are virtual persons. So you got this backwards. If you treat yourself as a corporation, well, can I buy your shares then? You can then be my slave!
True, but my credit information and my SSN are not public records.
Of course they are!!! You didn't create the number, the number was branded on you by the gov't.
Credit information is not *your* information. It is information *about* you.
What people should sue choicepoint about is facilitation of the id theft resulting in loses to you. People should also sue the gov't for allowing companies like choicepoint to sell data on individuals.
You don't need a magnetic field to have a particle accelerator. An electric field is sufficient. Particle accelerators simply accelerate charged particles. You are looking at one (if you have a CRT).
You mean like animals that sense vibrations or can hear very low frequencies? For example, snakes are deaf. They are very sensitive to vibrations though. This causes them to hide when elephants are near by (elephants will kill snakes).
No no no. First you have to install Linux on it. Just go with the shopping cart to the bathroom and do your dirty deed.
When you have all shopping carts converted to Linux, then when the shopping carts come together to their "resting" area (where idle > 90%), then they use their wireless network to create a Beowulf Cluster to crunch the 43rd Mersenne Prime.
Slashdot Mirror
?? It can compile any kernel it want's to. No sane person would run root for desktop.
This is as bas as regular broadband over powerlines. The same spectrum polution generated. How hard is it to just put down some Cat5 in one's home?
What are the losses to PearOS? Just run sloccount on the source.

Why didn't you just write . How hard is it for people to read the second line under the submit button?
Think about it. Without patents, we would end up with a sort of a innovative cold war.
The funny thing is patents are there to allow innovators to get their money back. But shouln't a good invention pay for itself?

Max. gross t.o. weight: 4,500,000 lb

So that's a ratio of 17.6:1. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it!

1 in cube would be 1e12^(3/2)bits or 1e18 bits. That is 1 exabit or 1Eb.
