But seriously, I think he meant Ubuntu as in the general name for the entire system; linux is only the kernel, GNU are only a core set of the tools, and Ubuntu is the glue that holds it together.
As for all distros being 99% the same: try using both Slackware and Ubuntu and we'll talk about it again. That would be like saying winME, XP and Vista are all 99% the same.
And don't even get me started on LFS (linux from scratch):)
He's charismatic a whole lot, that should please his corporate overlords and in the end work against the public big time without the masses ever noticing.
Yeah, that's also what I always said; no matter who sits in the big president seat, its the same puppeteers behind the scenes.
I think Obama is just the next phase in a larger agenda; to pick up where Bush left (as he was the first president to not try and be re-elected) and divert the general public attention (hope, change, etc).
Of course they're going to get the troops out of Iraq, there's nothing left to destroy over there and they'll need them to invade Afghanistan.
It's funny how most people are almost forgetting every issue talked on during the campaign except for bailouts and troops.
I can't seem to do both of these, either I drink moderately and fall asleep mid-sentence or I drink to to keep myself awake and spend the night reading slashdot and writing code.
But after yesterday's post about caffeine induced hallucinations I decided to slack off on coffee and now I wonder where all my friends have gone, at least i can still write... zzz
From what I know they're merely aware of the problem and haven't fully solved it, unless I'm really mistaken there's no way for current spacesuits to completely shield astronauts from radiation outside the earth's magnetic field.
A study funded by NASA has flagged up yet another terrible hazard for those no longer able to get excited about nuclear war, global pandemics, terrorism, climate change, economic meltdown and asteroid strike.
This is what happens when the kids have more authority than their parents, they whine, cry, shout and whatnot and the parent is just standing there thinking "what am I going to do with them". These parents usually do everything their child ask of them thinking it will make them happy and maybe correct this behavior, when in fact it just encourages it.
I agree with the parent (post, not the kid's), a 6-yo shouldn't play an adult game that promotes stealing cars, there's a good reason it was made an adult game and this kid just proves it.
I highly doubt those 3 cases would ever apply, if "terrorists" are caugh in such a way they won't ever have a chance to fix their problems before they're jailed and tortured without any trials.
Governments have a margin of error they can play within and still succeed, which is very large. Terrorists have none, they make a single error they're out.
The patriot act and national security are more harmful to innocent people than to terrorists, for without them both there would be no reason for terrorism in the first place.
I don't trust either parties, they just feel like two different ways of getting to the same common goal. It's just a coin toss that says tails I win and heads you lose.
They both give us a hundreds different brands of cereals to eat but only 2 political choices, how's that freedom?
Slashdot Mirror
Some quick research around the article led me to http://www.disclosureproject.org/.
I guess the bigger threats are always from the inside.
Haha, good one, you're absolutely right.
Dunno why it got modded +Funny though, it deserves +Insightful.
Actually I'd be glad if they shipped windows with anything else than IE, I really could care less if it's Firefox, Opera or lynx.
Seeing IE's market share drop is always nice for us web devs.
Apparently my morning coffee didn't kick in yet, it's GNU/Linux, not the other way around !
It's Linux/GNU you insensitive clod!

it forces the MPAA's feet into their mouths.
They should try removing their head from their asses first.
But yeah I agree with the article, it's far from the first time free stuff on the internet boosts sales on the shelves.
I'm not giving them my best porn sites.

I meant in 2008, not in 2004.

If so I want my own personal universe.
If my years of tech support taught me anything it's that 9 out of 10 Windows users are more damaging to computers than anything else.
Nope, life has something much worse for us caffeine addicted people, parkinson.
Drink moderately and don't forget to rest.

How come such people don't live in the zoo to begin with anyways.
From what I know they're merely aware of the problem and haven't fully solved it, unless I'm really mistaken there's no way for current spacesuits to completely shield astronauts from radiation outside the earth's magnetic field.
Now we just have to solve this space radiation issue and how to shield astronauts from it.

I for one welcome our weekly disaster overlords.
Only in America can a photoshopped picture make you wonder whether it has been photoshopped or not.

How did you know?!

Damn, and I had just planned to enter the phishing business for a quick buck..
