Any version of Emacs you might use, including any of the commercial Emacs clones that are proprietary and closed-source, are based on the open-source Emacs written by none other than RMS.
How could emacs be distributed as proprietary and closed-source?
the marginally centrist-right National, and marginally centrist-left Labour,
Labour is not by any definition left wing, perhaps only if you look at a handful of policies they adopt to cozy up to unions and the Green party. They are very centre-right in practice. The NZ definition of 'left' is a strange one.
Its the same in Australia. Labour won the last election by moving to the right of the Liberals during the election campaign. Its a bit like football. The objective is to get between your opponent and the ball (the electorate).
Just like CPU manufacturers have topped out where they can push the clock speed to (for now) there is likewise an upper limit on how many cores are actually useful. One is much better than two, but 1024 doesn't get you anything more than 512 did.
What about the real time raytracing which people keep talking about for games?
We have a voice recognition system where I work. In the intended environment it works fine but when we took it to a trade show to do demonstrations we found that it copes badly with background noise.
So I wouldn't want to use one to trigger the mute function.
One difference I can see is that people external to your network can see how many nodes you have. So if you expect more work and buy more workstations it is possible for a competitor to know in advance that you plan to expand.
I have a public facing internet server. It runs netbsd which has supported IPv6 since the last millennium. If my ISP offers me an IPv6 feed, can I run v4 and v6 services in parallel? I would need to do that to transition to IPv6.
You're aware that any decent firewall can filter packets without NATing them, right? The big problem with public IPs for everyone isn't access control, but network renumbering.
Yes but you and I aren't making the decisions here. The people who do make the decisions know that the people they hire are unable to reliably configure a firewall. NAT is more fail safe because it is more like to fail to a not working (ie closed) state. I an not saying it is smart. Just the way things seem to be done where I work.
Lately while advocating decentralised version control at my workplace I discovered that management love to have control of their assets. Thats why you have to come into the building through one RFID controlled door past a video camera. I think our PHBs will be fine with NAT for a long time to come.
In the US there is a lot of overlap between the Christian extremists and the Libertarians. The few christian extremists we have in Australia don't subscribe to libertarian views.
Another factor here is the role of minor parties in the upper house of parliament. The Christian senator pushing the filters got in with less than 1000 primary votes. Most likely he got a lot of preferences because of the number of worse sounding groups on the senate ballot paper.
Filesystems in the kernel, savages!
Give it five to ten years. Linus will have to move all that bloat out of the kernel. I wonder if he will start again from minix 3?
promoting the pawn
As an engineer I am here to hell you that pawns never get promoted.
A. Is your password "admin," "root," "password," or some other such simplistic shit?
OpenVMS has a nice feature:
set password/generate
It sets the password then tells you what the password is. Personally on linux and BSD I use
echo $RANDOM$RANDOM
...then set the password to the resulting string.
Grissom (to be known as Gus)
Now there's an idea. On a cold winter night in Antarctica you could just collect frozen CO2 and bury it under the ice cap.
Or the CO2 freezes out of the air.

My point is that like Richard Stallman who is a rabid GPL advocate, vegans are rabid food people.
They have rabies?

now they will be able to install CCTVs even in private homes
That'l show those terrorists.
Surface vessels must be pretty noisy even at anchor with waves bouncing off them.

They are surfing right now.

Its a keybounce problem.
They just want to be sure we get the message.
A static charge from your clothing will easily give you three to five kilovolts.
I see the threads aren't perfect individual nanotubes, but still, good enough for a tether maybe?
Yeah I had visions of vehicles being pushed up a space elevator by peristalsis.
If your piss is frosty, I'd recommend seeing a doctor.
Bit late don't you think?
The filter here at work thinks it is pornography.
