Yes, and it's not a good thing to do, whether they're Muslim or Christian, or Athiest! They've all got one thing in common -blind hate toward any group but theirs.
I strongly disagree, I will continue to criticize the asshats who insist on fucking up my planet.
He does make some sense if we think according to these protesters calling for the Mohammad movie producers to be punished. The protesters' reasoning is that if person A embarks on a provocative act, and person B escalates by responding violently, then person A is responsible for the consequences. Responsibility is placed on the source of the provocation rather than the source of the escalation. That logic tends to backfire.
Wow... So if you kill the citizens of a nation that can kick your ass back into the Stone Age it's THEIR fault when they retaliate?
Two big shocks on entering American food/drink culture coming from the UK. A big one was how much a bar != a pub. But bigger was for a nation who consumes so much food, how can its cheese be this bad? 300 million people, surely there's room for a few hundred local decent cheeses? Are there any excellent and widely available varieties?
There are good local cheeses, but they are probably produced in such small quantities and so widely geographically distributed, and the market has been so dominated by mass produced crap that it's hard to find if you don't know where to look. And since I live in Canada I don't know where to look in the US either, I don't have much advice. (Though Wisconsin is supposed to be famous for cheese.)
The situation is not so different in Canada, if you're in major cities and you don't look to hard all you will find is mass produced crap but being on the Ontario/Quebec border, I'm lucky enough to be virtually surrounded by good cheese producers.
Canadian cheeses in my region off the top of my head:
Du Village from Warwick, Quebec. (Their Sir Laurier d'Arthabaska is simply devine... and at over 300km away calling it in my region is a bit of a stretch, I thought it was closer until I looked it up.)
The group... reiterated its demands: that a controversial YouTube video mocking the prophet Mohammed "be eliminated from the Internet."
And these idiots think the banks are responsible and/or control the Internet and its content? - sigh
Remember that these are the same kinds of people that caused tens of thousands of Muslims to be killed in Iraq and Afghanistan by triggering "The War on Terror" by killing three thousand civilians.
These are the same kind of people who have not figured out that firing hundreds of missiles a year in to Israel will only get more Palestinians killed.
Logic and clear thinking is not exactly their forte.
and there's no remote desktop with a Linux server.
HAHAHAHAHA. Oh? You're serious? ALLOW ME TO LAUGH HARDER!
Indeed, that's where I stopped reading too. That said, teaching noobs to use X and/or VNC is almost as much fun as drinking pan galactic gargle blasters, and convincing windows hacks that you can do anything useful with a command line is even worse.
It's fairly well accepted that Israeli mice are merely the protrusion into our dimension of hyper-intelligent pan-dimension beings who, unbeknownst to the human race, are the most intelligent species on the planet Earth. They spent a lot of their time in laboratories running complex experiments on man, apparently with jet engines.
including CoreData and CoreGraphics equivalents are in place. Until then, it's like watching a drunk athlete play against all-stars, when comparing GNUstep(off a cliff) versus OS X.
Sure you don't want to stick around and taunt them as they wail into the night then drink their tears as the sun rises over the desolation that their lives have become?
Is that with or without a parachute? Because falling out of an airplane to a grizzy death doesn't sound so bad after you've been programming PHP all day.
You think PHP is bad? Why in my day we used COM with VB and C++, uphill both ways.
But just try telling that to kids these days. They'll never believe you.
One of them isn't compatible with current stuff because it run on ARM, and the other will cost an ARM & leg.
And have the battery life of a standard (non-Apple) laptop. I was honestly hoping Microsoft would ship a game-changer, and while the opera ain't over 'till the fat lady sing, I think she's warming up back-stage.
Poorly coded crap? Most code off GitHub beats WCF and other Microsoft-branded abominations like it any day.
Four or five years ago I would have agreed with you, but Microsoft turned a corner after Vista, Win 7 is hands down the best end-user desktop operating system I have ever used, and I know dozens of professional geeks who agree.
That said, I'm glad that there's so much competition right now, it forces everyone to improve. When I look at operating systems and the commercial market I'm always trying to think five to ten years down the road. Not at what comes next, but what comes after that. Given the rate of change in OSX, IOS, Win7, Win8, Gnome (in all its versions and varants) and KDE (Plasma looks sexy...) and the metoric rise of handheld and tablet computing I'm actually pretty excited about what computers will look like in five to ten years.
I am saying that more weapons are a benefit to nobody except those selling them.
If I'm implying anything it's "If you're stupid enough to try to use a 3D printer to make a weapon, and then use it, then I don't trust you with weapons."
I'm posting from the future here, and I just wanted to say that printing an AR-15 is a total newb move. In 2043, if you've got 1337 skillz, you torrent and print your own aircraft carrier.
So tempting to get that on Kickstarter just to see how much money could be raised before people clue in.

Being more Euopean than the rest of America, the market for "exotic" cheese in Quebec is pretty healthy and it seems to be growing.
It should not be too hard to find Oka in the US and there's at least one US distributor for du Village. In Wisconsin of course.

I really pushed someone's buttons.
You do realize that I'm criticizing violent Muslim fundamentalists?
The stupidity of this comment belies your lack of logic and clear thinking
You lost me, can you be more specific?

Then open that word doc in openoffice and re-export it as PDF.
WINNING
Then paste the BMP into a Word doc.
I was thinking Excel, for the coup de grâce of technological misapplication. (i see this all the time, unfortunately)
As crazy as it might sound, Excel is the better choice for presentation, though the storage is probably the same.
If you use Word then you're limited to a certain page size, if you use Excel you have effectively infinite pages.
It's wrong, it's crazy, but it works and easy to do for the less technically minded.
this sounds like an interesting article.. so why does the summary read like an april fools joke. is this the way /. encourages intelligent discussion?
The quality of summaries have always varied widely depending on the submitter and editor.
Unfortunately trying to figure out if Slashdot is dying is like trying to assess global warming by taking random temperature measurements.
In kernel speak, "pulling a patch" means he accepted someone's patch.
I love how every profession or hobby introduces it's own jargon.
So much for the suspension of disbelief.

OSX is Darwin (A MACH micro kernel) with a BSD user land + OpenStep + a fuckton of proprietary Apple stuff. Nothing Linux about it.
You do know that Linux is just a kernel right? Son, these days Solars has more in common with Linux than OSX does.
it sucks even worse and harder than outlook on windows
Clearly you have not had Notes inflicted on you, if you had you would cling to Outlook with all your heart and count your lucky stars.

I know I'm not the only one but is this just age? Is there a real problem with the "code word" naming schemes?
And stay off my snow.
I was so looking forward to playing with Linux 3.7 this weekend.
