    'Pantywaist city folks when they meet rurual folks tend to question their own masculinity and usually get teased about being fags -- and they feel like fags next to "real people."'

    How are these connected? Even if the your motherboard has multiple USB ports, it may have only one USB root hub, and that is not as nice as having multiple root hubs with say, 2 ports each.

    I forget exactly why it's technically under their jurisdiction, but 2600 has (had?) a large section on their website detailing the Secret Service's activities against suspected hackers, crackers, etc. such as busting up 2600 meetings and seizing any computer bits anybody had on them at the time.

    1.) take a newspaper

    4.) cut out all editorials and articles with a perceived bias
    5.) sort above into piles based on perceived bias
    6.) compare the piles' sizes and wonder if political bias is the problem with mass media

    "liberal" media is a myth, as is "conservative" media.

    "the fact of the matter is that a large portion of the Arab world listens to it. "

    The fact of the matter is that several, if not most, Arab governments think that Al-Jazeera is a shill for the Americans.

  12. Re:Say WHAT?! on BSD For Linux Users · · Score: 1

    Linux hasn't forked into eight or nine individual large projects, and is still spearheaded by its original creator, who ultimately decides what goes where or delegates the decisions.

    Linux is a KERNEL. How many distros are there? Does Linux have control over any of them?

  13. ports on BSD For Linux Users · · Score: 1

    ports in this case are completely not what you have described.

    ports are what gentoo ebuild scripts are based on. you snag the source for whatever program you are installing and it's compiled on the spot.

    there are apps that are linux-specific, and there are some that do not rely as much on linux in particular that will compile readily on other unices.

    There is no reason for most websites to deal with anything more than a session identifier to keep your browsing preferences. IF that.

    Not every company can afford to pay a web designer and a web developer.

    It's pretty cheap to give the web designer a book and say "read this", especially when there's no sensitive data on the line.

    Course, it's probably cheaper to pay some Indian folks to do it.
