As a New Zealander, I grew up with news reports of what should be considered an act of war against New Zealand by France, and consequently find it somewhat difficult to support France's economy by buying their stuff (especially when the alternatives are often significantly better).
In my opinion, the French firm Lyonnaise de Garantie to a man, are worse than crooks. They are the most foul and debase degenerates, slime of the lowest order. Fuck them, they are pox on the world and a waste of air. To call them a pack of worthless cunts would bring shame to roving packs of worthless cunts. Jean-Luc Berho, the VP of the company cannot bring himself to orgasm without unless he chokes a dog to death. Jean-Jacques Olivié, the president of that slithering pack of reptilians, cannot be trusted not to accidentally choke himself to death if left unattended with a stale croissant. May he catch syphilis from a drunken Armenian mule. Insurance frauds could learn something from these thieves, as could lamprey and other tubular blood sucking vermin.
And, worst of all, they are associated with the Church of Scientology, and their fire insurance won't pay for damages caused by intergalactic volcanoes. Na, there goes your comment!
Once fixed, date will act as expected (but the actual message will be date: invalid date `201112300000'), but not cal (cal will black the correct current day rather than yesterday, but still display the non-existent December 30th. The Gregorian fortnight in September 1752 is a hard-coded special case.)
Just witness a similar case in Kirimati:

Sat Dec 31 14:00:00 LINT 1994

> TZ=Pacific/Kiritimati date 010100001995
date: invalid date `010100001995'
==> date behaves as expected.
However cal shows a non-existent January 1st 1995:

What about spouse's pension? In many places, if you're married, your wife can can continue to get your pension if you die, whereas this isn't the case for civil unions. Also, visiting your spouse while in intensive care is easier if you're actually married rather than just being in a civil union.
like the cock hitting the porcelain in the toilet (ewww)
Well, when flacid, those large cocks are usually not any larger than normal ones. So, while peeing or shitting, this shouldn't be a problem.
But people may use the toilet for other activities than peeing and shitting... and in a small hotel toilet, even a normal-sized cock may touch the porcelain...
He doesn't have his installation disk here. It has to be sent from Malaysia. I hope his family are sending him the actual disk which came with the laptop and not one they got for ten RM in a market. In the mean time he is up and running with an ubuntu live CD.
Why wouldn't you just ask his family to send you the necessary paperwork to have him committed instead. You don't sound like a very good friend... a person that deficient in brain power may just as well hurt himself physically on sharp objects if not locked up in a padded facility.
The implication of this article is that the same mess is going to start happening with phones and tablets,
Don't worry. I know a guy like that, and so far he has managed to brick (or have bricked) every single phone he got (6 of them...), so none of them if going to make any expensive calls on his behalf...
California was one of the pioneers of "public interest" lawsuits. The intention was good: allow those who see violations to sue to force corrections. This reduced the pressure on authorities to track every single possible infraction and encouraged those who should have followed the regulations to ensure that they did because additional eyes were on them.
Germany has such a thing too ("Abmanhnungen"), and always had...
Unfortunately, multiple law firms were using this as a money-making scheme, just as you described. It got so bad--people were being sued because their elevators were a quarter-inch narrower than prescribed under the law--that even those who supported the concept said that it couldn't be fairly implemented. The legislature responded by putting severe restrictions on it, and it's largely gone away.
.. unfortunately, in Germany, this law hasn't gone away. However one of the worst sharks to have abused this has committed suicide 2 years ago, and the country has now become a much better place. Enjoy your time in hell!
I think the point is to encourage people to buy hybrids by offering them incentives. Special parking spaces are not discriminatory, unless it said "whites only" or "straights only" or "men only".

PIRACY act, it's the Stop Online PIRACY act. Talk about a grammar failure./GrammarNazi.
Are you the same guy that keeps pointing out that Micro$oft is not actually spelled with a dollar sign?
Wouldn't this pose a fire hazard in the long run? Abandoned factories tend to decay (metal rusts, plastic becoming brittle,...), and eventually a short will develop, burning the whole thing to the ground.
So, even in Soviet-Land, an abandoned factory still having power after all these years looks odd if it is not a huge pile of ashes.
Bah, you westerners with your stupid one new year. I will celebrate western new year tomorrow, then in January I'll be in China when it's Chinese new year, and finally in April I will be in Thailand when it's Thai new year. Yay, three new year parties for me!
... and don't forget about the really big "New Year" on December 21st 2012...
Sure the display from UTC is relatively easy, although is currently deploy code (OS's, applications, etc in common use), *already* set up to handle this?
Yes. Or at least those written by software engineers rather than painters. So utilities like date and ls are probably ok, whereas firefox and thunderbird might not.
But it should not be an excuse to be a cunt either.
I'm an intellectual female, and I read/. for the comments.
And I am a smart male, and I read Penthouse for the articles.

It's pretty evident you have no idea what it's like to be a woman in a tech field. How many times I've been ignored, only for someone with a penis to say the exact same thing and get credit.
Sorry for the following serious sentence, but guess what... the same thing happens to guys if they are a tad shy/introverted. They get interrupted, ignored, etc. and then somebody else makes the exact same suggestion and gets all the credit. Welcome to the corporate shark tank where it is eat or be eaten!

Feel good, and google for The rainbow warrior was sunk by Jean-Luc Fiorina .
Wait a couple of hours, and do it again: google magic, it'll point to this post!
And then wait a couple of days, and google will be the target of a sealed lawsuit in France...
Wait some more days, and watch French three-letter identities attempt to team up with Church of Scientology :-) Long live Xenu!

Can't be much worse than the soured crust of cum from a previous encounter on a poorly maintained cock...
Mathematics says it was a tie only because mathematics bet on Santorum and is a sore-loser.
Maybe mathematics just had too much spicy food before?
I gotta say I've been enjoying watching people have fun with the headlines. My favorite was :"Romney squeezes out Santorum"
Probably that headline author knew full well what Santorum means, and did it on purpose! Ew, still gross.
What have you got against cheese?
Nothing... but I'd rather not use it to browse the web :-)
You wouldn’t drink 9-year-old milk
No. Heck, I wouldn't even drink 9-week-old milk... Hey, wait a moment... I think now I finally got Firefox' versioning scheme!
