The biggest joke are the businesses where social networking can actually increase awareness and sales through fan pages, promotion and additional information, yet "head office" blocks access.
Ask three Rabbis and you get four answers. It just depends on who you consult.
There's nothing stopping a Jew from donating his or her organs and still being buried in a Jewish cemetery. You won't be excommunicated for saving a life post-mortem.
The concern is that the entire body should be buried. It's understood that a donated organ will eventually be buried after the recipient lived a long life (to 120) and passes.
Jew receiving a donated organ must also make sure the now expired organ is buried appropriately.
- Because services are bundled for a contract period (two years) to receive a discount. - Discontinuing a service results in discounts being charged back to the client. - Because the other choice is Bell (who does the same thing).
It's really a matter of six of one... there's no real competition in broadband here. Even the Toronto Hydro wireless network (www.onezone.ca) charges $30/month for who knows what network speed (access in downtown Torotno only) and it throws you off after 15 minutes of inactivity (requiring a username/password to get back on).
Homer still exits the car using the left-hand door when he pulls into the house. Maybe he was fortunate enough to get one of his brother's American cars?

But seriously folks, doesn't this scare you at all? I know there's actually a practical reason for this, but what's going to happen if one of these suckers get out into the wild?
Even worse, what happens when your neighbour's kid starts glowing in the dark?
Does Windows now come with all those application in all those domains installed by default?
Almost.
It falls a little short on the business productivity tools (although most Windows boxes come bundled with some sort of basic office suite like Corel or MS Works), but everything else is pretty much there. You have Windows Write, calculator, Paintbrush, a few games, IE, Outlook Express, Windows Media Player, sound recorder. They don't do wonders, but they can do.
My original point was that Ubuntu isn't a big hodgepodge of applications -- the base install is pretty frugal in terms of offerings -- as opposed to the kitchen-sink approach to many other Linux distros. For example: for a standard desktop, I'd prefer OpenOffice or K-Office or AbiWord and Gnumeric -- not all of them. That's a little redundant.
The advantage of Ubuntu is that you can still add on applications as you see fit from their own repository.
Perhaps we have become complacent because every Linux distro comes shipped with a ton of applications. It would be simple enough to make a Linux distribution that has a similar number of default installed applications as Windows.
I think they'll stick to their roots -- it's their niche.
I think it'd be great if Ubuntu did a similar type of distro -- or even a script that would pick out the minimal-type packages. That's what I use on my new(er) desktop.
Okay, so I picked it out of the garbage, however, I was able to get it up and running with Damn Small Linux 1.5.
It wasn't an easy task, but it can limp along running GAIM and FireFox when the wife is on the newer computer (newer being six years old instead of eleven).
The two things that took a while to figure out were getting the video card to display more than sixteen colours and getting the mouse to work. It turned out the latter problem was hardware, and a donated I/O card did the trick there.
I didn't try Puppy on that particular box, however, I've used it elsewhere and find it great for hooking up in a pinch.
Technically, he's correct. Major stakeholders in the oil business do own bits of some car companies.
Two of the largest shareholders of DalmierChrysler are oil-producing states in the Middle-East - Kuwait and Dubai. Hemi anyone?
IMO, that's why you'll find Chrysler's big push will still focus on petrol and disel engines. To prove a point, the Jeep Liberty is going to have the option of a Merc disel engine this year.
Like the PDF reader -- it could already exist for Windows (haven't checked SourceForge lately). In fact, I know some of the PDF readers for Linux can already read the OASIS format.
Who says that a small downloadable app couldn't be developed for Windows as well?
Like everyone's been saying, having an open format leaves your options open. You don't need to download an entire application, and even if you did, you'd have a choice of which application.
The obscurity around what warrants a +1, +0.1, or +0.0.1 is ridiculous. It's all subjective.
I mean, there are really two different routes to take.
1. Scrap this type of naming convention and work on something time-based like Ubuntu.

Easiy to follow.
2. Put something against it:
+1 = major feature / change in interface e.g. FF 2.0 can now render OASIS document format for viewing.
+0.1 = new minor feature e.g. FF 1.1 allows you to set all Javascript Window.new commands to open in a new tab by defauly.
+0.1.1 = bug squish e.g. FF 2.0.1 automatically deletes saved fields if a webpage disables autocomplete (when it was previously enabled). This relieves frustration for people who use autocomplete for password fields.

Well, you do have the "tool" part right.

The CO2 from your breath is not the problem. The CO2 from your tailpipe is.
When you said CO2 from my tailpipe, I was thinking "CO2 from my tailpipe? Doesn't he mean methane?" Then I realized you meant my CAR'S tailpipe.
In ten years, the sample will be useless to. Something about freezer-burn. Unless technology has changed in the last five years.
Why?
- Because services are bundled for a contract period (two years) to receive a discount.
- Discontinuing a service results in discounts being charged back to the client.
- Because the other choice is Bell (who does the same thing).

We all knew the answer to that.
Since they'll need to install a bulb in the pot anyway...
1. We'll finally get a built-in night-light making it easier to aim in the dark.
2. I can't wait to see the mods.

This isn't new at all.
No physical connection between the pedal and the brake.. Nothing could possibly go wrong
They've logged that bug and are planning to either distribute a patch or just re-code that entire part of the drink in COCA-COLA BLAK 1.0.1.

CmdrTaco says "Finally, a Gartner report that I can believe."

When referring to someone's computer: "How many megabytes is it?"
Just like studying the imperial system in math -- when the pot-heads finally had the edge.

By the time IE7 is released (after delays, FUD, excuses and pulled features), FireFox will be up to version 8.0 anyway.
This is the one thing that upset me about Ubuntu. You've got to support FireFox properly.
I used the reference at http://www.tuxme.com/node/315 (scroll down to the Upgrading FireFox section) as instructions for upgrading.
I also had to tweak a couple things in terms of desktop icons and automagic launching.
Fortunately, once you've done it once, upgrading from 1.0.4, to 1.0.5 (and now to 1.0.6) leaves your new settings intact.
