Well if you just stuck with OS X instead of Debian, you could use emerge. But given that it's still in the super-alpha "may eat your cat" stage, perhaps not a great idea.
You mean the company the mayor's brother ran? The one that got a break from Blagojevich for being part of the "home team" despite being based in Texas? I'm sure the people of Chicago have paid enough for a thousand such works of art unwillingly (much like they paid too much for "Millennium" Park). I don't know much about other big cities, but Chicagoans have been fleeced left and right at least since the Civil War.

I don't think anyone drives who doesn't know what an engine is, and ascribes the car's motion to some inexplicable magic.
face it, armed revolution can not overthrow a modern, well-equipped state. it doesn't have even the faintest chance of doing so.
Why should a bunch of armed hooligans with guns fare any better than some ragtag bunch of illiterate, underequipped Asian peasants? Because such people could never hope for any sort of victory against the U.S. Armed Forces.
My point was that I don't believe that rights can be positive obligations on other people (i.e. that they have to do something not to violate them). Substantive argument aside, such an idea of rights seems logically absurd in light of the fact that you could have your "rights" violated in the absence of other people.
One economic view on crime deterrence is that penalties for crimes should be crafted such that the marginal cost of crime outweighs the marginal benefit. However, this requires that you take into account not only the penalty, but the odds of getting caught. Parking illegally might not be worth getting a parking ticket, but if you get a $100 parking ticket one out of ten times you park illegally, the marginal cost of illegal parking is only really $10, which isn't necessarily too unreasonable. Since the odds of being caught infringing copyright are many, many times less than the odds of being caught shoplifting, the penalty would need to be much higher in order to place the same marginal cost on both shoplifting and copyright infringement. I'm not saying that I agree that this justifies the difference in penalties, but it is worth taking into consideration.
why do servers go down faster than a hooker for a benjamin?
When I first read that, I overlooked the second "a." I thought to myself, "Benjamin Franklin may have been the mack daddy, but this seems to be a rather odd comparison."
I'm not trying to malign C--it's probably the most useful programming language I know. But saying that C is the only well-designed language, as the parent to my original post claimed, is a bit ludicrous. If C were the One True Language (which it doesn't claim to be) you would expect it to have bound checking, or else it wouldn't be categorically better than everything else.
When I first learned that arrays in C are really pointers to an address, and that the elements are indexed by their offset from that address, I was a bit confused. I mean the concept wasn't too complex, but it seemed to me that there was really nothing preventing you from accessing data at an offset beyond the length of the array, which certainly didn't belong to the array.
Of course, I assumed that there was some more advanced topic that I was not yet familiar with that negated my concern. After all, nobody would be stupid enough to let you arbitrarily access memory you didn't allocate.

Actually, the executives of the big media companies do live in New York.
Well, it's probably more likely to succeed than the "Save Haldir" campaign, which only started after PJ killed him.

They're still probably more interested in the millions of sales of their $100-$500 music player. Why make millions...when you could make BILLIONS?
You can get most CDs for less than $10 somewhere like Amazon Marketplace. And with lossless encoding.
At first I thought you said "Microsoft Bob." Which is probably more NSFW than Microsoft Boob anyway.
Sure there's no Aqua version, but Konqueror for OS X works fine.

It's not that Apple hasn't made speed improvements in the past; I just enjoy irony is all.
Barbara does look a little like Ceren in that picture.
Too bad http://www.adequacy.org/ isn't still running :-)
Are you from the Bronx or something?
Depends on your definition of successful. In general, console games vastly outsell PC games.

Whoops.
I don't think I've ever seen a story where someone didn't malign Melinda Gates. People are so sexist.
