OK, but we don't need infinite. We just need enough planets that (1-p(a given planet develops life))^n to be <1/2. And given that we have an estimated 10^28 stars in the universe, I think this is the case - all we need is p>1-(1/2)^(10^-28) which is a very small number. (sorry for double reply, forgot about posting as code so my <s work right)

I find I can read the ticker "subconsciously" as it were. I notice anything interesting without having to actually look at it, so I just get the news with no extra effort. Plus it's built into my taskbar, so takes up zero screen real estate. I'm sticking with the ticker
Not for a kernel flaw. With an unpatched kernel flaw there is *nothing* you can do even if you know about it. And the number of attackers which will know of an unpublished kernel flaw is far smaller than the number of attackers which will know of a published one.
If there is an undisclosed exploit, your systems are vulnerable to whoever has done a deep kernel audit and found it. If there is a disclosed exploit and no patch, your systems are vulnerable to every script kiddie out there. In the case of services which can be turned off you might be better with disclosure, but how the hell do you plan to turn off your kernel? I know which situation I prefer.
Virtual file systems are the way to go I think. Make there be two "overlays" for your filesystem. Novice users see all the libs and binaries grouped into a single package. Advanced users can see the real unix hierarchy.
My friend has just made a potato cannon. Myself, I'm trying to make a railgun. I love A-level physics. You don't happen to have any spare high voltage capacitors, do you?

BS. I've got as far as kdetoys already, on an 800mhz Duron - real speed demon there. Just leave it running overnight.
"As much evidence as supports the rest of fundamental Christian beliefs" seems to me to be zero. Scientific belief is the only rational form of belief, because it is the only way of believing which ensures you always believe that which has the most evidential support. Science as truth is the most logical thing to believe in as truth. Christians really seem to believe in a god of the gaps, shrinking how much of the bible is literal as science advances - remember Gallileo? To me it seems they're deliberately creating a belief system that cannot be disproved. When part of it is disproved, they simply deny that that was really an important belief anyway. Such an approach works for any theory, so it's unreasonable to believe Christianity on the basis that it hasn't been disproven - why do you think it's any better than any other religion?
If you have an infinite universe, you still have an infinite number of possibilities, even in a finite time interval. Read up on the anthropic principle to see what we're arguing here. There are a stupidly large number of Type I (?) stars with suitable planets in the right places. Given this very large ("effectively infinite") number of planets, something that is very unlikely for any single planet would still have occured on at least one of them with a very high probability. Our system is otherwise unremarkable, it is simply the system on which it happened. And the reason it happened in our system rather than one of the heptillions of others is simple: we only exist here because it happened here.
Julius Caesar's existence is not contradicted by any other historical evidence (unlike that of any god, as there are a number of religions which claim that their god is the only god), and makes sense with what we know of how the world works. It does not require adding an unnecessary deity (the original form of Occam's Razor, I believe). And there are historical records from disinterested people saying that he existed, which does not seem to be the case for any God I've heard about.
I don't think that's a reasonable interpretation of what's written. I think the only reasonable interpretation is that creation occured in some way similar to what is described (which what you've said isn't, it's a massive leap from the story as written to what you're saying) or the story is wrong.
If you actually READ THE ARTICLE YOU LINK TO, you'd realise that is and always has been a planet, it's just that some people are now arguing that it shouldn't be.
Gaining marketshare is a good idea as it should make more hardware manufacturers give us drivers and/or specs. Yes, the primary aim of linux is simply to be a good operating system - but for me, it would be much better if it had more driver support, which would be the case if it had more marketshare.
The people who are selling the guns are not profiting from the crime. A better analogy would be don't go after the street pickpocket, go after the mafia boss running him. Which is fair enough imo.
How the fuck would letting Real sell songs for the iPod mean LESS ipod sales? And as a monopoly they have a moral obligation to not use that to give themselves an unfair advantage in another market. That's what a lot of the anti-monopoly laws are about.
Just making a popular seller does not make you a monopoly.
The MS case seems to prove this wrong
Record lables and credit card companies take the largest share of that 99 cents, or pence in your case. Much of the rest gets eaten up by storage and bandwidth costs.
Which is all also the case for the companies selling at 89p. Given the large number of companies doing it, selling at 89p appears profitable, so given that all of them are getting the tracks from the same supplier at (presumably) the same price, it looks to me like selling at 99p would mean >10p profit per track sold.
Spiderman was going great right up until the end of Spiderman 2. Now I fear that spiderman 3 will be a sappy sentimental flick that bears no resemblence to the comics. I'll still go and see it though.
Why do you say such a law would not stop criminals? The point of laws like this is not that the criminal will obey the law. The point is that the criminal won't obey the law and can be arrested for *that* before he kills someone.
Here in the UK, all the time people are being arrested for carrying firearms. All the time. You don't hear about it because that's far less of a news story than "criminal shoots unarmed homeowner". But the fact is that we have far less gun crime than the US because criminals who are carrying guns get arrested *before* they use them.
Exactly, option 2 is almost certainly the better one. And it's what konqueror does, except more so - if you set it up to do this, its loaded at login and only disappears when you log out.
1. True, but I'm basically doing it by being impolite to the rest of the network. Which is not very socially responsible really, although many people do it.
2. Partly, but servers on privilidged ports have to be started by root and I'm only root when installing software. As long as I keep my kernel (well, and anything setuid, but that's very few programs) up to date, the worst that can happen is letting someone access a user account by exploiting a vulnerability in one of the small number of servers which run on high ports. Wheras with a firewall, it's a kerfuffle when I deliberately start a new service, and doubly so if it's something that uses a number of ports e.g. bittorrent. I feel that I'm more likely to start services intentionally than accidentally.
3. Yes, this is the one real risk. But most tcp stack bugs would work on any port, so as long as I have at least one port open I don't gain very much by firewalling. And people with no open ports should be denied IP addresses.
Your features are my bloat. CD ripping and burning belongs in a separate application, as does transfer to devices. Organizing I can do fine with folders thank you very much. And online music stores should just need a browser.

Either that or he didn't think he had much chance of winning.
Compare them to mozilla in a period when it had similar (low) popularity.

Oh, if it's a library it may well be ok. I was thinking of it as a process because of the "running" aspect.
