Um, high usability is GOOD, and it's that kind of thinking that will keep BSD down. Text is easier for an experienced person, but inexperenced people like GUIs. It would be trivial to have a choice at install between graphical and text, with graphical as the default. That would solve that issue.
Touche. However, that was the head track coach, who had almost nothing to do with the distance runners. Also, I never said my coaches never made a mistake, but he was exactly one drink over the limit and the day after it happened he had the balls to come to us, admit what happened, and tell us he made a mistake. Definite props for that.
I was incredibly depressed for the first three years of high school. Got very, very close to suicide a couple times, one of my female friends is primarily responsible for me being here to post this. Yet I never would have accepted drugs, as it didn't feel like a chemical imbalance. Turned out I was right, in my senior year I joined track and cross country and all those issues cleared right up. Parents, please do not fall for the assumption that if your child is depressed, he needs drugs.
And the fact that there have always been school bullies makes them acceptable? Shouldn't we be trying to become more civilized, rather than merely passing on the status quo to another generation?
That would perhaps stop the specific school shootings, but would not affect the underlying problem of incredibly depressed teenagers. It's merely attacking the symptom of the first victim, not creating a cure.
coaches push to fight against the weak- so the jocks naturally gravitate towards the oppression of the weak.
Just as a point, not all coaches are bad, I was in track and cross country, and I had the best, fairest, most inspirational coaches you could imagine. Now realize I was the worst on the team...
Sorry, you can't be on both sides of the fence. You're either against it or for it. Let me put it this way: let's say you were alive back in the 1800's, and we were discussing the issue of slavery. Would it be reasonable for you to say, "I'm anti-slavery but pro-plantation owner's rights?" I don't think so.
He's not on both sides of the fence. He wishes abortion did not have to occur, but he wants women to have the right to have it done, if they desire. Anti-abortion, pro-choice. Think for a bit, expand your brain, and you will understand.
Further, you can be anti-slavery, and yet still want plantation owners to have their rights, it just so happens you don't think those rights include slave ownership. You're thinking far too much in terms of black and white, dividing people into one of two camps, the line of thinking that is the source of a great deal of the problems with this country.
Well, I do, and this guy is the type of guy I hate for giving males a bad name. The Holocause is utterly and completely incomparable to abortion. Beyond belief.
Hold on. Having sex does NOT make you a slut, not only teenagers get abortions, and using condoms does not guarantee you won't get pregnant, only greatly reduces the chance.
Further, there is a line between "unborn child" and "living, breathing person," despite what you seem to think. Is an egg a living, breathing person when it has just been penetrated by a sperm, and merely a single cell? What about when it's 16 cells? Or 128? That CANNOT be called a "living, breathing person" by any stretch of the imagination.
Relax. They're not DEMANDING you pay them to use their distro, just that if you plan to download an ISO from THEIR site, you must pay. You may download all the GPLed code for free, from their site, and you may freely copy anyone else's copy of the CD. It actually doesn't violate anything. Nowhere does the GPL say you must be provided with free ISOs.
Fuck you. Slavery is being physically forced to work against your will. Some slave owners didn't rape and kill their slaves, does that mean those slaves weren't really slaves? In fact, if YOU would study history, you'd learn that beating, raping, and killing of slaves was incomparably rarer in old European and African slavery than when it became popular in America.
So according to you you should have to start at every new company as if you were fresh out of college? Yeah, that's going to fly... That "intractable" knowledge belongs to the employee, not the company, the employee gains skills of use in a specific line of work, if you don't want the opposition to get access to the now more knowledgable employee, YOU must start paying what the person is now worth...
As for Mandrake and RedHat "fighting" each other, you really ought to do some brain-checking first. Exactly how many releases of Mandrake and RedHat have occurred so far this year? Oh, that's right. 1. Not much of a war, huh?
Class, by now some of the brighter among you may be realizing that we have yet to pass the quarter mark this year.
