Agreed... but it's a religiously oriented gift from a family that's made it clear that they disapprove of my family's beliefs, and my family has made it clear that we don't care that they disapprove. Occam's razor. Perhaps I should've clarified, though.
So? You're saying you can't type arbitrary text in the dark? I typed this without looking at the keyboard, simply by lining my fingers up with the bumps on the f and j (ok, I cheated to check which letters the bumps were on when I typed that last part).
It's not having a Bible that irritates me. It's the blatant disrespect for my beliefs, and the fact that they're showing that they think that my beliefs will be changed that easily.
Not necessarily - if you block off the BIOS (so it can't boot from CD), then physical dismemberment may be required. And that's not hard to watch out for, if people are in the office (compared with a "trusted individual" using Knoppix to access Windows' SAM file).
CoLinux is what you want - it runs in some sort of emulated or pseudoemulated mode, so you don't have to boot (like with Knoppix). Or you could do it the hard (but faster?) way with Bochs and whatever x86 distro you want.
I don't expect this to happen in HURD anytime soon, but what about other OS's? Why don't they support arbitrarily large (>2GB) files? As a video editor, that'd be quite nice.
Aren't they still (as a nation) uncomfortable with the fact that they committed these atrocities, much like Germany is still dealing with guilt issues over the holocaust & WWII?
This has been known. The Japanese used to use hot tubs as a (granted, not totally effective) method of birth control. And it's not permanent either - it just kills the already-present sperm.
That's why I said "calibrations vary". Plus, I figured I'd keep it simple. Besides, as far as applying to colleges... they'll often re-calculate your GPA from your raw grades to get rid of the weightings.
Universities aren't accredited so much as their programs are. For example, if you want a bioengineering degree that actually means something, you want a school that is "ABET accredited". They do other engineering stuff, too (ABET="Accredition Board for Engineering and Tech." or sth. like that). And they are certified by CHEA (Council for Higher Ed. Accreditation). Given a college name 30 seconds of Googling will find out if they're accredited in a given field, and by whom.
It's a "GPA" (gradepoint average). Calibrations vary, but often it's A+=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0, F=0.0. So a 3.5 is about a low A or high B. Pretty good, better than average, perhaps.
I don't know how hard it is to get a permit in the EU, but (at least as of the late '80s) it is quite difficult to get a foot in the door in the UK. I have a friend who worked as an ESL (English as a 2nd Language) teacher in London, but he worked illegally. Regardless of the high number of illegal workers (white collar workers especially) in England, since they aren't registered with the Home Office in any official way, they have no particular advantages being recognized in the EU proper.
I'm the guy who posted the form this time. No, I didn't write it; I found it at craphound.com/spamsolutions.txt. Craphound is Cory Doctorow's (an author's) website; I assume he wrote it. I've never posted with it before, but I thought it was apt... and more original than just slapping it on a spam article like it usually is.

So don't use X. I have a friend who runs an email server on it just fine, because he's bash-only.
Fine. One of us folks who care about security will take your job, then.
Don't attempt to log in manually. Use pyCurl or something similar to automate it.
Yes, and those god damned car keys are so frickin' easy to lose! When will that be changed?

Yeah ... I'm giving a Mepis CD and this to my relatives who gave me a Bible last year (knowing full well that I'm an atheist).

On the other hand, Japan would likely be one of the first countries to sign up as a US ally!
No. They still remember Nanking.
This is why K5 is getting better
... not as often as I used to.
Why, because you're here, not there? Too many trolling articles and diaries on K5. I still read it, but

Why not use OO?
And man's ability to sin is a sign of imperfection, hence God's creation is imperfect.

Really? 'Cuz France is largely Catholic ... not that you're wrong, just that I'm not sure of the details.
