Simplistically, an operating system's job is to move the magnetic head on the hard disk and load bits from the hard disk, copy them into memory and set the CPU instruction pointer so the bits are read by the CPU as instructions and thus the executable executes till a pre-emptive interrupt is triggered after the specified time slice.
I cant for the life of me think of anything in *ANY* operating system that would prevent that. The only way to prevent such an executable from executing would be to know before hand if these 'bits' cause harm to your PC or is a regular executable. Again, can't think of any OS that would prevent that.
What if a file system requires that an executable be marked as executable before it can be executed?
Making important decisions on the basis of "Eh, our enemies are just ignorant mud farmers anyway, no problem", on the other hand, is colossally arrogant and extremely dangerous.
Have any of these guys ever heard of The Battle of Bunker Hill? Or are they just William Howe wannabes?
That depends on what one means by "Windows support". It is true that Windows supports LaTeX in the sense that there are LaTeX implementations for Windows. However, I don't know of a Windows version that includes LaTeX, or Python, or a C/C++ compiler.
OK, so James Madison was a better political philosopher than he was a general (He actually commanded the Americans at the Battle of Bladensburg). Also, I meant no disrespect to the Dutch and Poles; I will point out that the French government could have gone to North Africa with the French Fleet, which would have aided the Allied cause, and that the Dutch refusal to surrender denied (temporarily) to the Japanese the use of the Dutch East Indies.
If the French had marched into the Rhineland after Hitler's militarization of it, the Wehrmacht would have had little choice but to retreat to Germany. Shirer claims that such a retreat would have lead to the overthrow of Hitler. The French connivance with the British at Munich didn't help, either.
Well, you don't hear many jokes about Poland, The Netherlands or Belgium being invaded by the Germans. Perhaps the French history as a great nation and the cultural arrogance that comes from that makes them more of a valid target to joke about.
Of course, neither the Dutch nor the Poles actually surrendered during WWII, as their governments fled to Britain.
I also pointed out the fact that he calls a printer an electro-mechanical device, when in true reality, THAT'S ALL A COMPUTER IS. OPENING AND CLOSING GATES.
Printers have a much higher percentage of mechanical stuff than computers do. Also, how many of a modern computer's gates are mechanical?
Shouldn't a 64-bit system support 2^64 bytes of memory, which would be something like 1.8x10^19 bytes of memory? Or are there other constraints? And even if there were, wouldn't it be easier to work on the other constraints?
When it was down and paper records were required then lives were at risk due to the lack of efficiency (time spent accessing paper). It honestly scared me!
I'm sure things are much much more reliant on computers now.

Except that you're paying for the DVD.
I doubt either Windows 7 or OSX could run on my computer (768 M of RAM). Ubuntu 9.10, no problem. Just toss in the Live version and get on the Net
Of course, paying $15 for a Linux magazine that has Ubuntu 9.10 on it is so hard.

You'll have to wait for Thunderbird 5.

It's difficult to avoid the Border Patrol, as the US-Canadian border is several thousand miles long.
Is that the current state of the charges, or is there potential for more?
I could adjust the page size in a latex file and then run pdflatex. Aside from the difficulty of editing pdfs, is it easy to change the page size?
Can someone just submit original work on a different channel from the other submissions?
Since the submitter made the video, wouldn't he/she hold the copyright on it?

Taiwan has multiple time zones?
So going to 128 bits wouldn't help?
Actual multiuser support with decent file protection (NTFS vs. FAT).

More like a billion.
Of course, since you assume you're in the correct root directory
When I said source directory, I assumed it as an absolute path.
Also, one can program my method in bash; how do you get the computer to mouse click?
It probably isn't hard to figure out how to do that in Vista, but is it obvious?
And if isn't just one vendor's scanners?
If I want to move all of my *.tex files from one directory to another, I do
cd source_directory
mv *.tex target_directory
How do I do this on a GUI?

Except when the computers go down.
