Nice editing job there. In context, the quotes are much weaker and not nearly as applicable to the matter at hand.

Now, what is the difference between the two? How does one determine whether a law is just or unjust? A just law is a man made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with the moral law. To put it in the terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law. Any law that uplifts human personality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust. All segregation statutes are unjust because segregation distorts the soul and damages the personality. It gives the segregator a false sense of superiority and the segregated a false sense of inferiority. Segregation, to use the terminology of the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber, substitutes an "I it" relationship for an "I thou" relationship and ends up relegating persons to the status of things. Hence segregation is not only politically, economically and sociologically unsound, it is morally wrong and sinful. Paul Tillich has said that sin is separation. Is not segregation an existential expression of man's tragic separation, his awful estrangement, his terrible sinfulness? Thus it is that I can urge men to obey the 1954 decision of the Supreme Court, for it is morally right; and I can urge them to disobey segregation ordinances, for they are morally wrong.
Let us consider a more concrete example of just and unjust laws. An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal. By the same token, a just law is a code that a majority compels a minority to follow and that it is willing to follow itself. This is sameness made legal. Let me give another explanation. A law is unjust if it is inflicted on a minority that, as a result of being denied the right to vote, had no part in enacting or devising the law. Who can say that the legislature of Alabama which set up that state's segregation laws was democratically elected? Throughout Alabama all sorts of devious methods are used to prevent Negroes from becoming registered voters, and there are some counties in which, even though Negroes constitute a majority of the population, not a single Negro is registered. Can any law enacted under such circumstances be considered democratically structured?
Sometimes a law is just on its face and unjust in its application. For instance, I have been arrested on a charge of parading without a permit. Now, there is nothing wrong in having an ordinance which requires a permit for a parade. But such an ordinance becomes unjust when it is used to maintain segregation and to deny citizens the First-Amendment privilege of peaceful assembly and protest.
I hope you are able to see the distinction I am trying to point out. In no sense do I advocate evading or defying the law, as would the rabid segregationist. That would lead to anarchy. One who breaks an unjust law must do so openly, lovingly, and with a willingness to accept the penalty. I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.
Of course, there is nothing new about this kind of civil disobedience. It was evidenced sublimely in the refusal of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to obey the laws of Nebuchadnezzar, on the ground that a higher moral law was at stake. It was practiced superbly by the early Christians, who were willing to face hungry lions and the excruciating pain of chopping blocks rather than submit to certain unjust laws of the Roman Empire. To a degree, academic freedom is a reality today because Socrates practiced civil disobedience. In our own nation, the Boston Tea Party represented a massive act of civil
The Gtk open/save dialog is bad?
Really? Don't get me wrong, up until a year or so ago, I would have agreed that it was a pain. It's pretty decent right now though; I've started to find myself cringing when I have to use the save dialog in a QT app or on a Windows machine.

- Very good all around application suitable for freelance/designer best quality tools for the price ! Not enough popular yet !
- By far the most well know and used 3D dcc applications in the industries all around the world, so the prices for freelance is too much expenssive and old core.

- I also hope my goal is reach with this table and a long hard work, I hope you get more ideas on what's solutions is the most suitable for you !
I'd like to also throw in that the Bible, especially the period where Jesus is teaching (beginning of the new testament) was a time when women were not allowed to speak in places of worship... I have heard that one of the reasons Paul mentioned this in 1 Corinthians 14 had a lot to do with the historical context. Prostitutes from pagan religions were coming to Christian gatherings and advertising services at their temples.
I'll counter with another lubricated incline. If Comcast continues doing this with BitTorrent, what are the chances they'll move on and throttle other things as well? Pretty darn high, I'd say.
If that's true, bug wup. The "StarCraft II" channel on Hamachi will fill up with people playing virtual LAN games.
However, you don't know it's true. Blizzard has like three or four different teams going at the same time. For all we know, the next gen MMO could be Diablo III.:-P
...in 2003, the first Friendly Floatees were found,
frozen and then thawed out, on the eastern seaboard of the U.S. and
Canada. So precious to science are they that the US firm that made them
is offering a £50 bounty for finding one.'"
Pounds? Why pounds? Give me dollars, man, dollars!
FWIW, I've gone dualhead on that exact card before without *too* much trouble. I'm using a two year old Toshiba M55-S139 laptop. Of course, the fglrxconfig utility didn't get things *quite* right the first time, but I doubt I spent more than half an hour googling around before I found a config that worked.
Bear in mind that this was six months ago using Ubuntu 6.06, and I lost my X.org config when I wiped to upgrade to Ubuntu 7.04, but I can testify that "It worked for me". I don't think things are quite as bad as you make them out to be.
...Of course, my card is also a victim of the infamous OpenGL firmware bug, so I should probably stop talking now.
You apt-get DEBs on Debian. You use Alien to convert RPMs to DEBs. TARs can be untarred and easily converted into whatever you want. So, we have high interoperability, but noone cares because most people just grab their packages from their distro's massive repos. I'm not seeing a problem here.
Maybe it's just me, but I never really got the point of flOw. It looks pretty. You swim around and eat things, then swim down and eat bigger things. You slowly grow and expand. The game on level 20 looks and feels like game on level 1. It's just really repetitive and boring. I mean, that formula works for games with really good gameplay (Asteroids, Super Mario Bros, Contra, Gauntlet), but flOw never grabbed me like most of those games did.
Am I missing something? No, seriously, I'm open to suggestion. Am I missing something? Why does everyone rave about this game?
*cough*
The Linux fonts can look just as ugly as the Windows ones. Just go turn off the hinting/anti-aliasing. The option is under "Menu -> User Interface Preferences" in XFCE. I believe it's under "System -> Preferences -> Fonts -> Advanced" in Gnome. KDE probably has the option buried in that massive collection of widgets they call a control panel, but you get the idea.
By the way, you might also want to avoid Mac OS X and Windows Vista, they have it on by default, too.;-)

You will, of course, note that Mr. King has clearly invoked Goodwin's Law.

Valve and a lot of games released on Steam have actually been pretty good about having a consistent menu system.

Yes. Yes it does. From Microsoft's open source labs, no less.

Slippery slope. Possibly, but not necessarily.

I didn't even know such a thing existed, but listening to the archives, I'm terribly disappointed that I missed it. A return would pwn.
So, we have the freedom to build potentially stupid stuff. Bug wup. Honestly, I'd be more concerned if they were forbidden to build it.
Well, considering the thing is a video embedded in a flash file...
Flash 7 is pretty much obsolete, now that the more stable Flash 9 plugin is finally available for Linux.
Nope, Ubuntu does that by default.

Dude, they equal because you're just assigning them to each other. Any lowly CS student would tell you to use ==. Seriously.
OS X == Ubuntu == Vista
This corrected version returns false, as it should. We now return you to your regularly scheduled Slashdot.
