Yes, but do the bees 'know' that, or does the pollen collection happen 'by accident' as they collect the nectar?
I think the real test: observe bees that feed off of a sugar tap - do they continue to visit flowers, or do they just 'top-off' and return to the hive?
Never mind all the crap that will get you on the sex offender list all by yourself without ever touching another soul, like getting caught pissing in an alley way.
Exactly! I'm not worried about rape. I'm worried about all the other garbage that can tag you as a sex offender. Interestingly enough, these are things that have nothing to do with sex.
My opinion? One of two choices: 1. Lift all restrictions placed against sex offenders. 2. Correct the definition of a sex offender and/or a sexual offense.
I think most of us would agree that #2 is the prudent choice.
Whats funny, is that some of us - like me, a paying FSF supporter - don't find what RMS does inline with "schoolyard radicals". But then again, I also think that BSD licenses have their place, and would probably use it myself.
Please stop associating the FSF with zealots. Sure, we have some... but what community doesn't?
You have a practical point about his image, but... Judging people based solely on their image is something we, as a society, really should get over doing.
He shouldn't have to visually conform to be taken seriously, he should be taken seriously for the things that actually matter.
Much of that information is over my head, but it gives me the impression that we are wired to see green separately, which may be related to yellow been considered subordinate.
A common slip. When you go to think of base colors like that, it's easy to thing RGB while actually trying to come up with RBY. I don't see why it's so far fetched that one might accidentally toss green in there, and that someone else might not catch it.
Now, as far as that being the reason they contrast well to the eye... I call bullshit. They are all as separated as they can be from each other on the spectrum, so naturally there is high contrast between them.
Well, I need a gaming 'monster' mostly because I prefer to render the video in OpenGL and do the processing on it as a textured plane, with things like OSD and subtitles as another texture, that can have an independent "resolution".
This means that I can use triliniar + anisinotropic filtering for scaling, and the hardware definitely can do that quickly (and it's not codec/container specific)... and even with a 320x420 video, I can have native resolution subtitles.
It also means I can easily get vsync working.
(i use mplayer, btw. not sure if other players can do this, commonly)
Using ATI in a linux MPC... that's just asking for trouble.
I hope they give these things a _good_ testing...
I see they are using an ATI Radeon HD 3200 - does anyone have any gaming performance numbers handy for this card, without all the benchmark-website-bullshit? If this thing works well enough... I may consider finally getting away from nVidia. But I thought these Radeon HD cards were giving Linux trouble? Did this get fixed?
The "powers that be" didn't shut them down. Their upstream provider did.
Take this analogy:
--start-bad-analogy-- I let you watch TV at my house. But, most of the time you are there, you leave trash and shit everywhere, and fail to clean up after yourself.
So, after enough complaints from my other guests, I decide to kick your ass out. --end-bad-analogy--
It amazes me to see how americans are dumb. I'm not a native english speaker, and I never commit errors like this.
1. It's a (stupid) assumption that the poster is American - there's no proof either way in this context. 2. You never make this error precisely because of that. You have to think much harder about it, and so are less likely to make a simple error like that.

... and are the meanings of "34'd" and "63'd" classified as well?
This kind of bullshit really makes me want to find somewhere else to be a citizen. But where else should I go? Everywhere has it's problems.
For instance, the UK seems nice, but I like my gun rights!

Yes it can. There are a few timezones that nothing but a few remote islands are in - way out in the ocean.

That kind of attitude can get people killed.
If something was done like this in a coordinated fashion, it could cripple the response time of some very important people and organizations.
I think that may be to the way we physically see the colors. Check out these links:

Or, the fact that I was fully aware of my replying to Comment #29019581 and not the story itself. This is not a 'root' reply.
Adblock does nothing to stop someone from paginating their content and inserting ad pages. The content is still interrupted.

Or, the author is ignorant of the LGPL or the difference between it and the 'regular' GPL.
Step 1: ask the author
Step 2: worry about working around it
Why bother if it's possible you don't need to bother?

Nope. SourceForge is all AJAX-y and PHP-ized.
Archive.org only works properly with static pages.
It's a compensation for feeling a lack of control.
While you cannot control many things, you can control that damn gallon counter!
That is interesting.
My nostrils are nearly the exact same size as my fingertips.
Is this true for others as well?
Because everyone knows the best way to inspect a compromised machine... is from the compromised machine itself!
Buddy, tell your employer not to quit their day job.

Basically, a bullet from space.
