In two salt domes in Germany, which are currently used to store nuclear waste, water started to ingress in the last years. Since saltwater is very corrosive, additives have been poured into the brine to slow the corrosion of the waste containers (they are made of steel). So it's only a matter of time until radioactive substances start to diffuse into the groundwater and poison the drinking water in that areas.
Show me a long term stable deposit for nuclear waste and I will consider nuclear power again.
If you used Schrödingers cat you don't even know if the cat already signed the EULA or not. And therefore not the moment after which you could use the software.
Germany already switched to digital TV between 2002 and 2008. Austria did this betweenn 2006 and 2007. And in Switzerland the switch was done in 2007. And I don't see why this is a big deal. If there's something which is a clusterfuck, it's analog TV transmission techology.
After 10 years of UNIX I finally was also considering giving Windows 7 a try. But right now I did the "rm windows7-unused-beta.iso" I should have done way much earlier.
I like non-free and debian-multimedia. Because it gives me a choice: either use free software (which I prefer) or use a non-free alternative if using FOSS just is too much of a compromise (e.g. abs-guide).
who needs it should learn how to compile sources (or how to use wine if it's *really* necessary;) and get the software themselfes. who can't find out how to compile should better switch to another operating system. (...) don't go by that trendy "be as *easy to use* as certain other operating systems"... i don't need a gui for everything, i like using bash and if you read the manuals you understand how to configurate things. so if you use debian you should be able to learn and educate yourself. not to forget that linux is one of the best documented os's around, just open your eyes and look for the informations! the one's who are too lazy to learn and understand or the one's who are simply not interested how it works, should better stay with other os's.
I couldn't disagree more. A computer is a tool. It should make life easier for me and not more complicated.
I use UNIX-like operating systems for more than 10 years now and I learned quite a lot about how they work internally. It was quite an interesting and instructive journey but recently I feel like moving on. While I still use mostly configuration textfiles and CLI tools and use them for scripting, I also value GUI tools more. They integrate configuration and documentation into one interface; no need to search a manpage for that obscure option you use only once or twice a month or to waste space on my wetware to learn shell commands. And I don't want to waste more time than necessary for configuring a tool while I could do more interesting things like reading that new article on applications of quantum electrodynamics. That's also why I like Debian and GNOME: their packages come with sensible configuration defaults. I also don't think that GUI tools and CLI tools are mutually exclusive. And I want them both. But don't force either of them on me; use NetBSD, OpenBSD or The Hurd if you want to be 1337.
I wonder how they want to detect an approaching projectile. By sound wouldn't give really much of a head start. Anyway, detecting a projectile, calculating an approximate flight path and stimulating including biomechanical lag would have to happen in a really short period of time.
I had to use a XP Home edition on a laptop that wouldn't run Linux/*BSD without pains 2-3 years ago. (That XP came preinstalled with the laptop accompanied by a rescue CD that extracted an image into a partition. This would result in a XP installation with lots of other crap preinstalled.)
So I first got my backups (as administrator of course) unpacked onto the XP Home box and tried to change the permissions on that backup so that it could be accessed by an account with normal user privileges. It took me nearly half an hour to realize that XP Home doesn't let you change permissions on files. Another half one to find the way Microsoft thinks this should work (Copying into a folder called sth like public documents or so. Hardrive was 80GB large and I had ~60GB of backups.). I finally found a HOWTO on the net for making a XP Professional (nearly feature complete) out of my Home edition and an installation CD using BartPE.
Result: even XP has editions which are crippled beyond being useful. This is hardly news.
An extrovert which just dumps his stream of consciousness on a webpage. And he even fails to include a link to the project's page he's talking about. Argh! This makes me pulling my hair out.

If you're high, don't try telling jokes to sober people.
history != future. They are afraid of the future.
I would have gone for Kingly Kiwi. But I think I am out of the competition since for me Debian has become an option again.

But don't fool yourself that it's anything other than fear of things you haven't grown up with.

What's TV?

keep away license restricted software

More like 5 RC bugs.
Don't do this. Squeeze won't be supported by the testing security team in the beginning: http://lists.debian.org/debian-testing-security-announce/2008/12/msg00019.html
Because it will be designed for this mission profile?

I think he's going to get a lot of constant resistance fighting the current of Techie Law Knowledge.
There, fixed that for you ;)

Gmail + Gtalk + Google Apps + Pandora = still two local app slots open.
BTW: Pandora seems to be US only.
Well, they could just restrict it to 3 non-MS apps. IE, MSN, Media player, and Word would all work.
Me thinks that the European Commission will strike against this. For the same reasons it did the last times.

Igor -- Technical graphing for Mac & Win -- So why not GNU Plot?
I suggest grace instead. It's easier to use than gnuplot, has a GUI and a CLI, can read data over a pipe and the output looks nicer.
