Not according to the Wikipedia article. Also, what would nukes have availed the Japanese? They could neither hit the US nor prevent massive American bombing of Japan.
Well, together Debian Ubuntu and Red Hat probably compromise the majority of Linux installs these days.
Wow. I didn't know that the majority of Linux installs were compromised, let alone by those particular groups. Can either of them compromise SuSE 11.0?
Out of necessity, Linux already copies Microsoft which copied Macintosh which copied Xerox in terms of GUIness and perhaps other programs.
Linux uses the X Windows system, which, depending on versioning, predates Microsoft Windows. The first version of X, cunningly named "X1", was released in June, 1984, seventeen months before Windows 1.01. So how does Linux copy Microsoft Windows GUIness?
His example may be extreme, but there are bimodal distributions, such as the distribution of ovaries among humans. There are also skewed distributions, where the peak does not occur near the middle (the mean, mode, and median are different).
IAMM (I am a math major), and he did not provide a strawman, but rather a counterexample. Or are you denying that there can be bimodal distributions? For example, the average number of ovaries per person is roughly one, but not that many people have exactly one ovary.
As for intelligence, IQ scores may be normally distributed, but intelligence is far more complicated. Even if we limit it to knowledge of an issue, it is normally distributed? Is it normally distributed for each issue? How would one know?
It depends on how they got those long URLs. If the domain names themselves are that long, then perhaps people should shorten them. But what if the URL is something "deep" inside the directory structure? On my personal (not yet on the web) site I have
No, I was responding to a poster who said that package managers were proprietary in the sense of being user in a narrow set of distributions, and I was questioning that.
Do you know how many distros use rpm? I would hardly call Fedora, CentOS, OpenSuSE, and Mandriva as constituting a narrow set, or were you looking at things like zypp and urpmi?
Has it occurred to you that Linux has choice because its developers don't believe in One Microsoft Way?
And where did I claim that the use of the bomb was unjustified? I simply said that our conventional forces were large, not that we should have foregone the bomb.
Does the 6,000 figure include nuclear bombers? Or did we scrap those? I'm guessing that a nuclear first strike would adversely affect an enemy's air defenses.
Is it the same intellectual bankruptcy? The OP might argue that it would be easier to convince an orthopedic surgeon that arthroscopic lavage is no better than placebo surgery by citing an article such as http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/347/2/81 than it would be to convince a homeopath that homeopathy is no better than a placebo.

Bond: Surely you don't expect me to do a chain of thirty joins on tables with a quadrillion records each?
Goldfinger: No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to die.

There are also an infinite number of values between 0 and 1, and a larger infinite number of values between 0 and 2.
What do you mean by "larger infinite number"? The cardinalities of the two sets are the same.
Sorry, but could you be more specific?
vi? Is that a clone of Emacs' viper mode? *runs faster than Usain Bolt*

A two-second blast from a 50-watt laser is 100 joules, which is less energy than a baseball traveling at 60 mph.
Except that the original poster did not raise an issue, but merely said that this was not the year for Linux on the desktop. How else can one respond?
I'm a burger flipper, a tire guy, a mechanic, a professional, or a housewife
And of course, your average burger flipper can afford Photoshop.

Coupled with a domain name, that could be a long URL. Nevertheless, I would like to retain it, as it expresses the organization of my site.
Yes.

Bloated, or featureful? Does Vista include a decent text editor? Compilers? Server software?

Linux advocates frequently over promise and vastly undeliverable.
That seems to work for Microsoft.
You mean like this?
Damn, where is the picture of Beastie sodomizing Tux?

Nor did the US need nukes to impress anyone in 1945. Our conventional land, naval, and air forces were dealing with the Japanese just fine.
Trains were going faster 50 mph in 1909.
