An Indian version of the Yugo? Cool! Does the CD player skip when hitting a bump and does it run Linux?;) No, when you hit a bump you have to close all windows and restart!
The only places you'll still have the narrowminded attitudes are in the smaller isolated villages.
Doesn't that amount to the whole of the country except Amsterdam & Rotterdam? No. These smaller isolated villages are rural and small. Maybe they account for 5% or 10% of the people. It's not that only the big four cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht) are tolerant. There are many other cities, and these cities are growing and growing. But it is true that the bigger the city, the more tolerant the people are in general.
What would the impact be of a carbomb going off in one of the vehicles transporting the ballots? If a district were known to be heavily in favor of a certain candidate, wouldn't the destruction of those ballots negate their votes? Let's say there is an accident, not a bomb. The car catches fire, the votes are destroyed. How many votes are in this car? 500? 5.000? I suppose there won't be 50.000 votes in it. Let's say 5.000 votes are destroyed. I think that's a high number (but I may be wrong). You could simply calculate if this would change any of the results. Probably it won't matter if all those votes of this one accident went to candidate A or B. And not all those votes will be for one candidate alone. So if those votes couldn't change the results, the accident is no problem. But what if they could make a difference? The boxes are probably tagged with an id, so they could check which boxes are missing. Then they could have another vote for this district/voting office alone. But maybe the candidates agree not to do this.
What you're suggesting is what happens if many cars had accidents or were bombed. Then it could seriously influence the elections. But one car won't make much of a difference.
once Microsoft's so-called "Open Office XML" standard is approved as an international ISO standard in February No, they must mean that their stinking Office product is shortly to support the OpenOffice XML format, i.e. ODF. Well who'd have guessed it? I'm afraid you're wrong. The summary is wrong as well. It should read "Office OpenXML". ODF is already approved as ISO standard. OpenXML has yet to be approved. But Sun has created an ODF plugin for Office, so you only need to install that to comply.
I did a 2D version for a robotics class in university, a full 3D version wouldn't be difficult. Much more useful than a dinosaur, which can't pick thing up. Yeah right. And you are now developing this robot in your parents' basement, not?
Clearly, this being Slashdot, he should have invented a girlfriend to attribute the women's pants experience to.
-Esme Clearly he hás invented an imaginary girlfriend. And because she cannot be naked all the time he had to go and try these cloths, understand?
windows '95 probably was the most stable release of windows that MS ever made. I had to reinstall my system about every three months. I don't call that stable.
I read it as "Vista capable" is instilling a false sense of confidence in customers, as in it misleads them into believing that Vista isn't the only os supported, rather just one that is. I read your comment and now am even more confused.
I had 14 'spam' emails in my Gmail 'spam' folder this morning having cleared it last night. Of course, definitions are subjective on what is alot or a little spam.. But that is marked and filtered. So it doesn't mess up your inbox. How many mails have you had in your inbox this last month? I had maybe two or three, and hundreds in the spam folder. But I don't care about those, as long as they are not false positives.
I believe their argument is that the one person that the first person uploads it to will upload it to another, who will upload it to more, and they'll upload it to more etc. so that the number of downloaders increases exponentially with every iteration. Yeah but what if they catch the other person, then there is already paid for this download, so it's actually free?
Of course, if I happened to be running the Stocks and Weather applications on my iPod Touch it wouldn't have an IMEI number to send, would it? Not that I am running those applications on my ipod, because that of course isn't allowed. Well it could send the serial number instead of the IMEI.

Falafil Inc. sues the FBI for defamation of character and loss of business. Hey man have you ever see a falafel explode? I sure don't want to be around! And if they're still frozen, you will never know what hits you if a mad falafel-seller comes after you. Man this is really dangerous!
If a Jalapeno hurts you then you better not eat a 'hot' pepper. On the Scoville scale a Jalapeno is only about 5000 scoville units. A Cayenne is about 30,000. A Habanero is rougly 350,000. And the new record holder is the Naga Jookla at around 1,000,000. Go eat a Naga and see how you feel afterwards, wimp.:) I once had dinner at a friends appartment. She cooked dinner while we were waiting, and she used a pepper so hot that we had to flee to the balcony. When we tried to eat the dinner, for every bite I took I had to drink about one glass of water. In the end I gave up. I'm still curious what kind of pepper this was.
I used a Psion MX5 for a long time. I think the MX5 is significantly smaller than the eee, and thus has a smaller keyboard. I still could type with ten fingers, at about half speed because you had to press and release the keys a bit more thorough. I hope the eee keyboard will be as good or better. I liked the MX5 a lot back then, but now it doesn't make a chance anymore. I'm going to buy an eee, the 4 or 8 GB probably.

You can try the Aqua version of OO2.3, which works quite well already.

Like, "in what month do Australians drink the least beer?" Wasn't that last month?

They'd better bring out chairs... Ballmer style... Gosh, I just wet my chair. You are sooooo funny!
"The government".... Does that mean Bush and his mates can monitor all Democratic email traffic? That would be handy for the upcoming elections!
