Sweeping statistical death models can be tilted whichever way you want.
An advocate of lower Health System costs could statistically demonstrate that those 1000-1500 people killed each year would cost society much more if they lived longer lingering deaths (said people are those most vulnerable to the smog, they are the people using significantly higher than average healthcare resources).
I'm not saying it's good that said people die, just that your statistic lets you feel good about what you advocate, and not much more than that.
I wouldn't know, as Firefox is a dead-end consumer-only browser. Regular Mozilla has a composer, so is a two-way communications tool. I installed Firefox once, but it wasn't impressive. Why would I want a view-only tool for the Web?
I have that Corel Office for Java stuck away somewhere on a CD-R here. About a year ago I brought it out and tried it again. It remembered it as being corpulent and slow, definitely a sub-par toy. But on newer (not 'current' by any means- just a P3-450) hardware, it was nice and snappy. It's a shame they never really finished it, because it works pretty good on today's hardware.
All I know is I have some nice pre-G3 Apple machines that I'd love to run something more current on. Not talking about ancient hardware. This is decent PCI bus stuff.
But since the goal of Apple's software team has always been to sell more Apple hardware, I'm probably out of luck.
Yes, but it's 'portability' is limited to Intel and certain PPC architectures. Don't try to get it running on older PPC architectures or anything else.
Not that it's important or even worthwhile to port Darwin further. It's already been done better elsewhere.
I definitely do NOT want the ACLU elevated to a 'privledged body' with the rights to review and archive publicly collected data that nobody else has access to.
And I doubt the ACLU would touch anything like that with a twenty foot pole.
Not to pick nits, but the SCO license is simple compared to what the Linux license will be if Linux and the GPL balkanize. And there are a lot of people, with a lot of money, working to hammer those wedges into it.
It don't matter if it's 'non voting stock.' If there's enough money involved, it becomes lucrative to use a proxy, i.e. a team of lawyers, to do your 'voting' for you.
Has anyone found a way to harness the energy of our founding fathers rolling in their graves? Whoever does, cut me in on the profits, will you?
The effect, which you label with the common erroneous metaphor, is one that is extremely well understood and manipulated profitably. There's no new 'energy' there to harness. Examples of interests and entities that have very effectively harnessed said energy include: Greenpeace, the Christian Coalition, The Democratic Party, the Republican Party.
When the laws change, this person(s) (estate) will own images of 98% of the books printed in the 20th century. Any time the estate releases one of these books in any form, it will be 'in the wild' and free.
So said person is building a 'conservatory' for works that likely wouldn't otherwise be saved.
Investing money in prison stocks brings more capital into the prison operation. Thats what stock sales are essentially for. More capital means better infrastructure, and in the end, better conditions for the prisoners. You want prisons to be slip-shod operations? A chain gang is a low-budget prison setup. Surely you're not in favor of chain gangs...
Sometimes I have to wonder if this is how it happened to the Flower* Power generation.
No. How it happened to the 'Flower Power' generation is that there was no Flower Power generation out of a very few small local areas, i.e. San Francisco. Most of the 'coopting' occured simultaneous with the development of the myth that there ever was a mass 'hippie' movement. The hype turned into the 'reality' by the time most people found out there was anything happening. By that point it was a marketing operation, i.e. 'hippie' carnies selling t-shirts at concerts. Same as it ever was, essentially.

Naw. The nutters on Slashdot are novices compared to some of the groups and cults out there.
You apparently don't understand the meaning of the term 'broadcast' or you wouldn't be rambling on about using directional antennas.
Your insights are lost on the kind of guy who thinks a 'refrag' utility can be run on the Electromagnetic Spectrum.

No, courts do not define the Constitution. They have limited power to interpret it.
Big difference.
Yes, but it's 'portability' is limited to Intel and certain PPC architectures. Don't try to get it running on older PPC architectures or anything else.

How can the tiniest minority of prisoners be creating the biggest problem?
You didn't enumerate which constitutional rights were violated.
Get cracking, now.
It's good to see people openly and honestly acknowledging that the detainees in Iraq were indeed not tortured, but were simply humiliated.
Mr. Hussein used that prison facility for actual torture when he was in charge.
I definitely do NOT want the ACLU elevated to a 'privledged body' with the rights to review and archive publicly collected data that nobody else has access to.
And I doubt the ACLU would touch anything like that with a twenty foot pole.
Please enumerate said rights.
No, really. Let's discuss it.
Aren't we already almost there??
I'm curious - why do you think these punishments are fitting for, say, being caught smoking a joint?
Where did you see him thinking that??
I didn't see him state anything at all about victimless crimes.

If that isn't science, I don't know what is (and I have spent time in Physics.
Okay. So we've established that you took a physics course and don't know what science is.
Carry on, social scientist!!
Sure. They can churn around all the doggerel and rumor online. And come up with a huge refined database of doggerel and rumor.
The whole dot.com bust was about on-linedness not in itself being anything at all.

No, completely wrong.

It often looks like hell when I try to read that sort of text on my Handspring Visor. Why not delegate wrapping to the viewing software.
The 'many programs' that can't wrap are broken.
