well ok, I don't know about the colonies... [ducks]
I'm in the UK, and I do find it irritating that some of our nice native plants that are often required by native fauna are ripped up and replaced with unsuitable but 'pretty' plants that then require pandering/watering constantly. I don't have much technical knowledge in the area, but I have had friends who did, and despaired at the damage exotics cause.
The link seems to have been slashdotted, it won't open (serves you right for being informative:), but I'll give it a peek later.
The problem is exotics (being any plant 'out of place')
Local plants don't need watering, or they wouldn't survive in the area to start with.
Plus 'weeds' (being usually perfectly good plants that just aren't exotics) will normally prosper during hosepipe bans. We've had one over the last six months, and the local plants in our garden have barely noticed.
Ideally people would switch to local plants and save water. Alas that's about as likely as people not wanting dyed clothes (dying eats loads of water) or makeup, or any of the other things that we use to display our prosperity.
What are we supposed to do if we want to use linux but there aren't the open source drivers for hardware we want or need to use then? Not use Linux at all? That seems a bit extreme.
After all, does Linux or GNU have a replacement for the BIOS driver yet? Nope? Didn't think so. There's no such thing as a totally free system yet, but it's getting there.
I prefer something that isn't an automatic attack target for the world of hackers. Whether the software is 'better' is of no importance if the second it's released hoards of hackers pour over it for vulnerabilities.
I would imagine he makes the point and read the articles because like me, who also has no plans to use Vista, he will no doubt still be hassled by people wanting help with their Vista system, or have to use it at work.
The world is not full of people who can be catagorised with ease you know...
in a survey of food sold in london in the 18th century, they found, among other ingredients, semen in ice cream. I beleive other ingredients were lead, paint, hair, and human skin (probably flakes).
Seriously, we have it better these days. In fact the whole thing with laws to state a minimum level of safety for human food came about because of some woman who found a mouse in her bottle of drink.
If moleculer engineered food turns out to be cheap, then it's coming, there's not a great deal we can do about it bar decide not to buy it, *if* we know what its in.
Me, I'm in favour of GM crops, not for the overweight west, who have far too much time on their hands and campaign about pointless crap while stuffing their faces with fat soaked food till they get heart disease from over indulgance (yes, I have issues with that), but for the people who struggle to feed their children basic foodstuffs in the third world (which is only so screwed because of our polution anyway).
If Mol engineered food helps someone keep their kids alive long enough to survive childhood, then I say bring it on.
I'm just wondering how long I can keep this going, it's funny. tbh I'd have thought you'd have given up by now.
it *is* core hardare, because without it the pc will not work, in fact its fundamental to the operation of a computer. This does not relate to whether you have a working battery in it, since once power is on, the clock starts working.
a mouse or keyboard or cd/dvd drive and so on are examples of componants of a computer system which, while they are required for some uses, are not required for the computer to actually run.
ah yes, well you'd think so, but I just happen to have proved him wrong, only just the other day. I just can't find the peice of paper I wrote it on.....
Anyhow, I hate infinity, the darn thing always messes up my results when it turns up.
violate physics? What, you mean as in grooming physics in a chatroom and getting it to meet you 'in a private place'?
Or do you mean violate a *law* of physics?
And having no electron moving wouldn't violate any physical laws that I'm aware of (even though the quote in question was someone elses, I was responding, but forgot the quotes). It would just mean a very low temperature.
part of laptop == anything inside or permenantly attatched to the laptop case.
turned off == all power utilising items fitting the above are receiving no power
therefore, if the laptop were turned off, the second screen could not display anything. So, the laptop does not have a display whilst turned off.
What we have here is a clash of the marketting buzzwords, and some severely twisted logic. The laptop is not off while the second display is running and the case is closed, it is operating on less power is all.
I've just installed ubuntu on a spare machine to try it out, and haven't had need for root access as yet (literally just installed what was on the cd). I must have a play with this sudo stuff.
normally I use gentoo, there's nothing confusing there, I just su when I need it, so i don't even know if I have sudo set up.
But if you're already root, then you don't need an exploit anyway do you? You're already in.
I must admit I find these exploits that require you to be logged on as root laughable. If someone has your root pw, you're already screwed, end of story.

So that's E-porn out of the question in this format then...
but I thought 'everyone who owns an iPod fills it with pirated music'...
Now me, I fill my mp3 player with ripped mp3s. probably breaking the law even though I purchased the cd's the music came from.
I do find it amusing that the mere act of using something I pay for makes me a 'pirate' according to the RIAA and that inimitable mr Gates.
I especially love that they try to jump on any point to say that iTunes is terrible, when iTunes has drm music (as do the competitors), a really good selection (better then others I've seen), and lets you burn to cd...
So that makes it the same in some ways, and better in one, but its *bad* because they bypassed the arguments and just got the hell on and produced a service. Much like microsoft did by producing an OS while the major players were distracted in the Unix wars. But when someone else does it, Bill gets all anti...
Not that I buy from iTunes. I use it for the podcasts. I would use it, but I have no money for an iPod yet. If their music would work on my cheap mp3 player I'd get it.

and who uses unencrypted vnc? I use vnc over ssh.....
It's not always wise to rely on the eeverything over ssh.

two things
core hardware would be anything without which a computer couldn't operate at all. so yes, the clock would be that.
also, good god man, this is days old, have you nothing better to do?
A Wikipedia link! I'm melting!'

nope, you said physics, not 'law of physics'.

And having no electron moving wouldn't violate any physical laws that I'm aware of (even though the quote in question was someone elses, I was responding, but forgot the quotes). It would just mean a very low temperature.
how can something with power operating some of its core hardware be considered off?
Consuming power == on.
"If you have the lights on your car turned on but the engine is not running, is the car turned on? "
yes of course, it's not moving along, but it is active
"Even the real-time clock?"
well, if that's on then the laptop is powered isn't it, it's not off....
You're totally right, for a laptop to be called "turned off", there shouldn't be a *single* electron moving inside it...
kind of my point really.
A laptop is never 'off' while there is some item in it receiving power. It's in a lower power mode, it's not 'off' at all.
Alright then, so apart from roads, irrigation, public health........
pardon me while I wade in:
