Usermode Linux will get you an even more complete experience. This is what we use at emperor linux to keep our distribution images up to date, all running on one big quad-xeon server.
The main strength of this is that your fake fedora/suse/whatever machine has its own process list and/proc tree to muck around with, and won't reach out and mess with your "host" system.
Don't forget, you also HAVE to buy a Ford, even if you don't want to drive it. All the dealerships are under crippling contractual obligation that forces them to bundle a Ford with any new auto you might want.

I wanted to keep this thread about election reforms, and not the specific candidates... but I'm curious what about him you don't like? I've stated my objections to his policies, I'm curious what yours are. Mods: be gentle, I -did- tag this thread OT;)
-nod- Until our election system is reformed, the spoiler factor will always keep third parties down. It's a damn shame; his recent antics aside, I agree with almost all of Nader's ideas and his policies.
But, with our broken election system, the best I can do to get SOME of Nader's ideas implemented is to vote for Kerry/Edwards, who are right on -most- things (education, taxes, health care, foreign policy) but are wrong on a few as well (gay marriage, drug legalization).
If we had preferential voting, then third parties could play a serious role in USian politics without having the effect of harming whichever "mainstream" party is closest to their position.
> what if it were a major criminal with ties to organized crime?
Then they should be nailed for the other crimes they commit. Unless their only crime is unauthorized copying of movies, and to call anyone a "major criminal" when that is their only "crime" is specious at best.
I hate to respond to my own post, but ever since typing this out I've had a budweiser-style ad running through my mind...
"We salute you, Mr. Spatial Nautilus forcing-everybody-to-use guy.
You've got what it takes to do what everybody else was doing 8 years ago. (musicians voice: not obsolete, oh-no)
Your desktop has more open windows than an indoor chile cookoff. (mv: somebody get me out of here !)
Don't worry, if you build it... and you make it the default... and you don't put a switch to turn it off... they will come. (mv: Mr Spatial Nautilus forcing-everybody-to-uuuuuse-guy.)"
I think the unspoken hope for a lot of us is that eventually the entire telemarketing industry will be marginalized or outright shut down by this law. Sounds like it's working quite nicely.
No personal offense intended, by the way, I know you're just trying to put food on your family.
Heh, fair enough. I see your point, though.. knowing which of a stack of 2.0ghz-marked chips was far enough above spec to run okay at 2.8 would be beneficial to me, and I don't even overclock... I just want really, really stable, above-spec chips when I can get them.
I wonder how much this decision was spurred by the fact that, after yesterday's launch, the world's governments know that if they don't provide GPS someone else will?
> sometimes, the overclocking is done by a middleman who re-labels chips
I've heard Intel make this claim for years, but never heard of any actual cases of it taking place... does this actually happen? Neither google nor snopes can settle whether this is real or myth.

Certainly true.

Speculation, and I would hazard to guess that you're wrong here.
Read the grandparent post, stupid. He's talking about the theater attendants who are watching them. Thus, voyeurism.

That would be "voyeuristic". At least get your fetishes right, it's not like there isn't enough reference material on the net.

I can't vote to oust the CEO of Google.

Besides, you don't patent the very idea of a "body bus", but your particular way of implementing it.
On government rockets, yes no ?

I originally read that as "I had to x-plain the x-rules to my x-wife..." Changes the tone of the sentence somewhat. =D
