Ah, but that's the nice thing about Windows, you don't even have to install a telnet server (or some other remote execution server) to be able to run processes remotely -- have a look at psexec. Extremely handy.
Nope. There is no real difference between Open Source Software and Free Software. The Open Source Definition is basically a fork of the Debian Free Software Guidelines. Sure, the OSS and FS people may have different views of why software should be free, and sometimes the OSI, FSF, Debian and other people differ on whether a particular license is free enough, but "Free Software" and "Open Source Software" are (more or less) synonymous.
While the FBI has had a lot of false positives, it hasn't had many false negatives.
And that's supposed to be a good thing? You know, it isn't hard to eliminate all false negatives if you aren't concerned about the false positives. Just assume all cases are positive.
Heh, you didn't read the article you linked, did you? All this shows is that people have traveled and mixed their genes. It doesn't mean that all genes originate from the same individual, only that we all have some of that person's genes.
Oh, and take another look at the Tasmania example at the end of the article.

I don't agree. I've been using Debian unstable for years, and I can't remember the last time something broke. YMMV etc of course. I've gotten so bored that I've started installing experimental packages in hopes to finally get something to break.
Anyway, if you want a modern flashy desktop based on Debian, look no further than here.
It depends on what the contract says, but AFAIK, standard recording contracts are generally exlusive and cover all recordings that the artist apears on while the contract is valid. Most of the artists on this CD (but not all) seem to be signed to small/independant companies, which should make it easier to get permission for things like this.
Of course, that only covers the rights to the recording. You'll also need permission from whoever is the copyright holder, which usually means the songwriter's publisher, rather than the songwriter.
But why? If you need a human to mark up prosody/intonation/stress/etc, it's not really automatic speech synthesis, is it? So, why not just record the person reading the text, instead of making them learn some complicated mark-up language?
Besides, for most real world applications of speech synthesis, making it natural sounding isn't really that important. Intelligibility is more important (and the most natural sounding speech synthesizers aren't necessarily the most intelligible).
You make it sound like there are only two possible alternatives. There's nothing that prevents you from ditching the Electoral College, but still give smaller states a larger relative portion of the votes. That would at least remove the "problem" with "winner takes all" (I know, some states distribute their electors on a proportional basis, but it's still pretty coarse).
Of course, IANA US citizen, so I don't really care how you choose your leaders, as long as you choose someone decent.
Not necessarily. It depends on what extradition agreements Belarus has with the US and what the Belarussians decide. Most countries don't usually extradite thier own citizens. Also, many countries won't extradite if there is reason to believe that the person won't recieve a fair trial or might be tortured/excecuted.
You possess 240 million rods, 12 million cones, and exactly 2 eardrums.
Yes, and you possess 40,000 hair cells, and exactly two lenses;)
But sure, the bandwidth of our vision is much larger than what our auditory system processes. However, when it comes to content creation, graphics have come a lot further than audio. There's lots of completely photorealistic artwork that has been created from scratch with computers. Compare that with any computer generated sound (that isn't based on samples).

Are you implying that traditional encyclopedias never contain such errors?

Well, you know, not everyone in the universe has a unique name...
Mirrordot has it.

Google and ye shall find.
The article is /.ed. Good thing it's also .\ed.
The are lots of articles on the web about recording with open source software. Also check out Dave Phillips's site and his articles in Linux Journal.
Many times. However, adjusting the modulation will usually do the trick.

...and for some reason, if try to access George Bush's campaign web site from outside the US, you get Access Denied.

Try the sarge installer, it's a huge improvement.
That would be Mark himself. And they weren't actually naked-as-in-no-clothes, only naked-as-in-no-burkhas.
This is answered in the FAQ.

Try Google again. And if you can stream it, you can download it (e.g. with mplayer, try mplayer -dumpstream -dumpfile ).
