Actually, my D-Link DWL-G650 was easier to install on SUSE 10.0 than it was on Windows XP, as the former autoconfigured the card. Such is often the case where the hardware has a certain level of support in Linux. Of course, if the harder lacks that level of support in Linux, the install will probably be more difficult than the Windows XP install.
OK. We have to push the asteroids away. Is that any harder than space colonization? Also, how large are these supervolcanoes? Was Krakatoa that damaging? If not, how many more times powerful than Krakatoa are they?
Initially damage the entire Northern US? How fast can it project magma?
Is guilt in such a context a factual or legal matter?
Doesn't the doctrine of "innocent until proven guilty" stem from Common Law?
As for finding FDR guilty of treason, not so fast. First, there is pesky matter of FDR (or his attorneys) of cross-examining witnesses. There is also the matter of intent. The Japanese attack succeeded because many people made errors. You allege, under the guise of national security, that there is evidence which would lead to FDR's conviction, but which cannot be released. Sorry, but unreleased "evidence" isn't evidence.
Also, even if FDR had deliberately allowed the attack, would that have been treason? A cold, brutal geopolitical ploy, yes, but treason? Any "aid and comfort" that the Japanese received was swamped by the enraged reaction of the US.
Except that if they burn up in the atmosphere, they're not likely to melt the crust. Also, if we blow up asteroids far enough away from earth, the explosions might deflect pieces away.
And who are the lucky few to get taken to space colonies? They wouldn't be the leaders who failed to predict/act on natural disasters in the first place?
And a few days notice wouldn't be enough time to evacuate the area?
And would you be able to get everyone except tens of millions of people off of the planet to elsewhere? And a supervolcano would seem to be something we could detect.
You believe that we can lift almost the entire human population from earth, but can't deflect Ceres? Also, if the radioactive fragments are small enough, they'll burn up in the atmosphere. True, there will be some radioactivity.
And how much water do the asteroids contain? And where would we colonize?
It's unlikely that any tsunami would wipe out most of the planet (try hitting Columbia, SC). Same with a volcanic eruption. Do any of these "resource rich" asteroids have water on them?
Also, any asteroid the size of Ceres or larger should not be too hard to detect early, and anything smaller should not be too hard too bludgeon. If we can get a mission to the asteroid belt, we should be able to get nuclear weapons there as well.

I suspect that the GP was under no such misapprehension, as much software is sold without warranty.
And how does one present a system of equations in HTML by using CSS?
Uh, how long did NeXT last as a platform? How much potential revenue did Bill Gates lose by not writing software for it?
It's true that konqueror is coupled to KDE, but Linux users don't have to install KDE.
Or anything else by Knuth, I wasn't thinking of those lectures in particular.
Oh yeah.
Are any of Knuth's lectures available?
Did your replacement have the Marvell chip?
And yes, props to the D-Link DWL-G650!
The D-Link DWL-G650, yes (I can see the lights blinking, though I'm posting from my wired NIC), but are you sure about the DWL-650 (without the G)?

A post is informative if it gives you information, something that you could look up somewhere if you weren't posting to Slashdot.
A post is insightful if its author exhibited a certain turn of mind, where you are left asking "Why didn't I think of that?".
I didn't know that Larry Wall wrote stuff in Python, or that Guido wrote stuff in Perl.
Interesting, as PHP's syntax is closer to Perl's than Python's is. What about Python reminded you of Perl?

The Southern members (except for Sen. Andrew Johnson of Tennessee) left, but the rest were left to suspend habeas corpus.
Lincoln hoped to end the crisis before Congress reconvened, but that was not to be.
And what percentage of Slashdot posts get modded 3 or higher? Also, who is compelling you to read at mod level 3?
Except for the fact that Roosevelt was never tried for treason, let alone convicted. Ever hear of "innocent until proven guilty"?
The President took an oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, not the Brooklyn Bridge.
Didn't Congress grant that approval?

Not that I object to space colonizing.

For some sufficiently large value of $$$, RedHat and/or Novell/SuSe will take responsibility.
