Personally, and I'm sure others would agree, I find VI(M) to be horribly user-unfriendly for someone who wants to do web coding.
I have a fancy for Nano after i discovered it during my first bout with Gentoo.
I can't say I've needed to look back since. It's quick, intuitive, and shell-friendly =)
Regardless of the moral equivalences, the argument brought to the courts is a legal one.
It's easy to get caught up in the emotion of the issue while ignoring the legal rights of each side of the table.
I'm not saying what he did was morally right, but it's a darn close to acceptable in my book
Unless your book happens to govern the land in which you reside, yours (and for that matter, everyone else's) personal views are irrelevant.
Try to stick to the facts instead of pulling emotion into the issue, as it clouds the crux of the matter.
If you mean Windows should drop NTFS, purchase this, rebrand it and have it ready for Vista's release, than i think you're either trolling or a little naive.
heh, maybe Hans was in deals to sell it to MS (WinFS), but his concience ate away at him, and he ultimately refused. In return, they killed his wife, and now they get their FS on the CHEAP!
That wasn't bashing. Clearly, the poster is pointing out the obvious.
And denying the 'tighter-than-tight' relationship that the US has with Isreal is tantamount to putting one's head in the sand.
Microsoft has a new version out, Windows XP, which according to everybody is the 'most reliable Windows ever.
Is it still 2001, or did I miss something?
And this 'everybody'... i don't remember offering an opinion, but i guess they don't mean everybody when they say, uh, everybody... =\
Is Intel pushing their marketing to extremes by utilizing all these free online services to promote their product? Or is it good publicity for all parties involved?"
I completely agree with you, and also find it interesting to notice the shift in paradigm with regard to people's attitudes towards online advertising.
It's interesting to know that only a few short years ago, the usefullness of advertising, in a receptive sense for business, was non existant. There was only spam. People were clamoring how useless it is and how we must block it from corporate networks, etc.
Here today we praise this technology.
Now, with 'targeted' advertising, the exposure to an array of new possibilities is created which can potentially enhance the viewer's business strategy. Reaching niche markets is really possible thanks to this sort of technology. People are able to get the unique tools they need to achieve their business and personal goals, thanks to things that they may never have heard of otherwise.
Jeez, i never thought in the early days of the Internet that i'd ever be thankful for, or could find a use for, any form of advertising.

This does raise an interesting point that you articulated upon, describing the 'one life and it's over' way of thinking, however you fail to include the fact that humans are evolving.
By this i mean that with the spread of information as rampant as has been thanks to the Internet, already we're seeing this 'continued legacy' stretching beyond the grave. It hasn't started here, tho. Ever read a book by a dead author?
What's more interesting than the complex itself, is the potential applications of such a technology (or set of technologies as it were).
Rather than a single file, what if the information were able to be stored in the human brain? It would have to be done in such a way that the host is aware of the differences between their own and the memories of the deceased. And even better would be a way to remove certain memories (how about the time that the doner of the memory set walked in on grandma and grandpa!)
Talk about a complex here. The advancement of humanity is already pretty quick, and something like this would all but eliminate the typical trappings of death (aside from the fact that you're dead, of course)
It's total spooky sci-fi, but hey. We're not talking about conciousness here, just memories. What's the difference between reading a book, and having the authors thoughts 'burned' directly into your cortex?
*queue spooky sounds*
But maybe it's just me who would prefer to spend trillions of dollars on developing a sustainable system to inhabit this planet without completely anihilating it and eachother, rather than weapons and military technology for which to more efficiently exterminate 'undesirables'.
No kidding. This is, however, a good idea (dare I say it). Bush and co. need to be held accountable to where the citizens tax dollars go.
That being said, however, i'm sure that the 85% that goes into the military will just be marked 'military', and not
"Dick's new private jet: $15M; Haliburton (just cause): $5B; Bribes (Murdoch & co): $10b; etc.. ; Seeing Dick shoot that guy in the face: priceless;"
But I digress... Of course it's typical political tactics starting this initiative. This way, when the GOP is being tarred and feathered for robbing the good American people blind, the Bushites can say 'But we were the ones who opened up transparency in the buget! Look, we made a blog thing that says so! It runs on the tubes, and is bigger than a truck! It's not our fault, we did everything we could!"
Slashdot Mirror
Hm, that's funny... these tubes seem to run windows .NET Framework
System Requirements: Microsoft Windows XP running Service Pack 2 + Microsoft
Oh snap! Not compatible with my Internets Tubes, such a shame.
Canonical: Did it first.
What about AOL?
What about iPhwn ?

Well, DOS is an Operating System. ReiserFS is a FILEsystem.

oh wait...

Don't blame me, I voted for Kotos!

The short answer: Yes.
why in the hell would you do that?
I mean, we're talking about compiling it on Debian here, not Windows or Gentoo.
GNUFox?
Oh no, piracy is killing minimum wage video store clerk jobs! How will the economy function!
the same couold be said about pornography and child abuse. Bottom line: people are fucked.

African or European?
Is 85% too high or low?
IMHO, if it's more than 50%, it's too high.
But maybe it's just me who would prefer to spend trillions of dollars on developing a sustainable system to inhabit this planet without completely anihilating it and eachother, rather than weapons and military technology for which to more efficiently exterminate 'undesirables'.
Call me an idealist, but hey.

Tubecast!
"Netcast" sounds like a good alternative to me.
What a move on apple's part to alienate their [existing & potential] userbase tho.
