I do have an answer for this. I have two 3-inch binders full of man pages for the shell, awk, lvm, ioscan, etc, etc. Every single hardware-related thing, no matter how arcane, and every commonly used thing I can't remember all the arguments to. Normally they sit at my desk, but they always go with me for my bi-annual trip to the off-site disaster recovery center. One of the lessons I learned a long time ago is you have to have a machine running to use the on-line help. When the box is casters-up, you're on your own.
> Payment services, which makes them gatekeepers. Read past the headlines, please.
Um, no. eBay bought Verisign's payment services, which means that's now part of eBay.
Your argument is like saying that if I buy a car from you, I get to determine what you have for dinner. The two things (eBay (formerly VeriSign) payment services and VeriSign controlling the registry) are completely unrelated.
Hear, Hear!
I also think we should be teaching Phrenology in our Psychology classrooms; Luminiferous Aether in our physics classrooms; Homeopathy in our Pharmacology classrooms; Phlebotomy in our Surgery classrooms; and of course, Religion(!) in our Science classrooms.
Did you see the National Geographic Channel thing about sabre-tooth tigers? They had a (metal) simulated hydraulic sabre-tooth jaw (on the end of a small backhoe) chomping into a cow carcass jugular. They're jabbering about foor-pounds per square centimeter, depths of arteries, length of teeth, and flow rates from buffalo hearts, and I'm screaming "What a cool job!!!". Amazing 3-D compu-cartoons based on skeletal dimensions, etc. - highly recommended.
If we've got the likes of (Massachusetts Senator) Ted Kennedy opposing
something as benign as offshore wind farms with obvious NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) arguments, how can we expect people to agree to deal with transportation and storage of spent fuel rods which have a half-life in the tens-of-thousands of years?

It depends on how fast it's moving relative to my frame of reference.
How can you say that? They've got certifications and everything ;-)
If I'm creating logical volumes and such, I don't have the man pages installed yet, do I?
Dude.
Your tinfoil hat slipped loose.
Why does your Applet write to the standard output?

ba dum ching!
If this keeps up, the left hand will find out what the right hand has been up to.
I, for one, welcome our new crystal-meditating, homeopathic, dope-smoking, touchy-feely, psuedo-scientific overlords.
We may as well close this thread. You've said it all.
If you think BSD is going to survive 'till 219,250,468 A.D., you are sadly mistaken. Netcraft already says it's dying ;)
Funny.
Don't forget mu.co.us
Because they already own PayPal, and this VeriSign thing plays into thier strategy of controlling electronic micro-payments?
One more time: eBay isn't going to have anything to do with DNS, or anything remotely like it.

The UNIX calendar ends in 2038..;)

Yes, and the Bush Administration is saying they don't need The Onion's help to make them look foolish.

Mod up. Insightful.
There: a place, not here
Their: belonging to them
They're: a contraction, meaning "they are"
