A side may "legally" make the first attack if it has already declared war on the other. The Japanese attempted to make such a declaration to the US before Pearl Harbor.
No, the reason I know about permissions is that I couldn't do certain things on a workstation (this was way back in grad school).
I was trying to say that users should have an awareness of permissions, even when they don't have permission. Also, many users will need those permissions. After all, they may need to install software. And this is a problem with MS Windows software, that even though the user/admin distinction is in the OS, it still isn't in the culture of either the users or the ISVs.
As for whether the users should have the knowledge, of course they should. Quoting Feynman:
In my opinion it is impossible for them [the workers at Oak Ridge] to obey a bunch of rules unless they understand how it [fissile material/atomic bomb] works. It's my opinion that it's only going to work if I tell them, and Los Alamos cannot accept the responsibility for the safety of the Oak Ridge plant unless they are fully informed as to how it works!
Permissions are foreign concept? Hmm... that might explain some of the issues with Windows XP. Is that why users run as admin all the time, to deal with permissions?
And tell me, what did I have to go through to install SUSE 9.2 Pro on my compute? Insert the DVD. Push next. Remove DVD.
Yes, I like my computer to "just work". Does Apple include gcc, php, LaTeX, apache, python?

It's sooo hard to select those from YaST. I actually have to click stuff on. Oh, the horror!
While XML can be validated, is it that much easier than regular text? Part of what fuels Open Source development is the low barrier to entry. Do we really need to make configuration depend on XML?
And SuSE 9.2 Pro doesn't even have a/usr/kde/share directory, so it isn't KDE putting configuration data there.
While the dictionaries that I have checked do not list "noone" as a word, the formation is consistent with putting "any", "some", "every", and "no" in front of "thing", "where", "body, and "one". Of the sixteen possibilities, only "noone" is not a word.

If the US had not diverted troops from Afghanistan to Iraq, it might have been better able to deal with Al Qaeda.
But are governments the best means of killing terrorists? Why don't you get off your state-worshipping butt and kill them yourself?
Sympathy yes, but what we need is less prayer and more thought.
MMaybe. But some software patents involve algorithms, such as those used in compressing GIFs.
Hmm. . . And how difficult is it to parse *.ini files?
Of course. But since the config file is written in one language, how does that help? Aren't there text utilities for Mandarin and Kanji?
And yes, Microsoft had dropped *.ini files in favor of the registry, but is this an improvement?
Oh, that's easy. Just hit the pilot in the eye.
I'd rather have a bare-breasted Pamela Anderson doing the weather?
But was the "advanced" button available?
But if you had the former, wouldn't the text be sharper?
In SuSE, use sax2.
Dupe, dupe, dupe, dupe of URL. . .
OK. Do one rpm install, say Fedora Core 4. That should get enough attention.
None of the dependency issues exist in SUSE 9.2, as all of those packages (and much more) work out of the box.
I suppose that XML is better at validating configuration settings so that they make sense (or fails to validate if they don't).
And which Linux config files require their own file formats (special enough to be not parsable as text)?
As for the character set, if it's not in a latin based character set, I probably couldn't read it anyway. Or is XML a universal translator?
What about a raw stream of unformatted data?
If you make an rpm installer, test it on rpm systems. If you make a deb installer, test it on deb systems.

So XML is more standard than text?
/usr/kde/share directory, so it isn't KDE putting configuration data there.

I call bullshit.
First, what distro was it?
Second, what kind of monitor driver would you need?
