Pidgin has support for "buddy pounces" which queue the message until the person you sent the message to connects to the network. This support is enabled under the "offline message emulation" plugin (as of 2.0.2).
The GPL tells you nothing about what you have to do with your code. The GPL tells you what you have to do with other people's code. In fact, BSD-style licenses are the same way.
The GPL and BSD license are both distribution licenses. If you own the copyright on your code, you can distribute it however you like. You can GPL it, then close the source later, relicense, dual licence... actually whatever the fuck you want. The GPL exists so that other people can distribute your code with certain limitations. The BSD license does the same thing, just with different restrictions.
I don't know about traveling that fast. If you do it enough the time dilation might make it that my friends and family would die a few seconds sooner (relative to me of course).
The nice thing about pi is that you can use it for conspiracy theories. For instance, did you know that in the digits of pi, George Bush's birthday, Osama bin Laden's birthday and 9/11/2001 can be found in succession?
Obviously because pi does not terminate, there will be a point at which this occurs. Similarly, you can find your birthday and the birthdays of your x closest friends in succession.
I understand completely the pro-life argument. It is logically sound, but it totally falls apart if you allow for any type of exception except for the life of the mother. If the "tissue" is a person, then it is totally innocent. It did not ask to be the product of a rape. Killing it (since it is apparently "alive") would be murder.
When you make an exception for rape or incest, then you are saying that abortion is ok in certain circumstances. Since abortion is supposedly murder, then you must also believe that murder of an innocent person is ok in certain circumstances.
I'm pro-choice to an extent. For one, I think Roe v. Wade should be overturned as abortion is quite obviously a state issue. After that, I'd think any abortion past the point where the fetus can feel pain should be banned.
So we should allow the murder of 1.3m children because the one or so million women weren't mature enough to pick a good partner that isn't going to rape them during, or after, the relationship?
Ah yes, the "blame the victim" strategy...
You know how many families have considered the un-expected child a blessing, and are glad their daughter _didn't_ have the child aborted?
Probably very many. Whoopty shit. Do you know how many are really glad they didn't have to drop out of college and go on welfare? Probably very many.
Fred Thompson likes to fancy himself a staunch federalist, but his idea of federalism isn't in line with what my idea of it is.
Thompson is a marked improvement over Guiliani, McCain, and certainly Romney, but I don't think I'll be voting for him unless the Democrats nominate Hillary Clinton and the minor party candidates are non-existant.
I beg to differ that Bush is a true believer. It pays to remember that he ran on a platform that included "no nation building" or "policing the world".
It's quite obvious why they don't answer the question directly. They aren't sure which side of the issue 50%+1 of the populace is on. Furthermore, if you don't answer the question directly, you don't run the risk of alienating some people who might vote for you.
This is one reason I like Ron Paul. He and I don't agree on everything, but he's not afraid to say what he thinks. He's authentic, and I think that is why people are gravitating toward him. They know that no one wants to abolish the Depts. of Education, Homeland Security, etc. because he thinks it's going to get him votes. He does so because that is what he truly believes.
I'll take a true believer that I disagree with on some substantive issues over someone that can't decide if they are for or against something until they see the polls.
If you're going to use "Linux" to refer to both the kernel and the userland tools, then you have to make distinctions when you talk about "Linux". To most geeks, the term "Linux" without qualifiers is ambiguous.
For example if you say "Linus Torvalds created Linux", you must be sure you refer to only the kernel or else you're being dishonest or misleading. The term "GNU/Linux" is much more cumbersome, but is unambiguous. Admittedly, I refer to GNU/Linux as "Linux" in the spoken word and then clarify if I'm not talking about just the kernel, but always try to remember to write "GNU/Linux" so there is no mistake as to what I'm talking about.
How is this different from the gaim-encryption plugin?
The gaim-encryption plugin provides encryption and authentication, but not deniability or perfect forward secrecy. If an attacker or a virus gets access to your machine, all of your past gaim-encryption conversations are retroactively compromised. Further, since all of the messages are digitally signed, there is difficult-to-deny proof that you said what you did: not what we want for a supposedly private conversation!
You, and other Republican* Ron Paul supporters seem to think that neoconservatism has nothing to do with Republicanism. I don't know if you and other old guard Republicans have been living under a rock for the past 7 years, but Republicanism is synonymous with neoconservatism. Republicanism is about a powerful executive, reduced civil rights, increased role of religion in public life, and an interventionist foreign policy. When you get right down to it, its a watered down form of fascism. Objectively, Republicanism is orthogonal to traditional conservatism.
I really cringe when Ron Paul and others state that he is the "real conservative" in the race. Conservatism doesn't mean states' rights, small government, and individual responsibility anymore. Things have gotten so bad that libertarians are starting to vote more for Democrats than Republicans. Imagine that! Democrats are the party of small government now.
My point is that you traditional conservatives either have to get your house in order or jump ship. Judging from the applause that Rudy Guilani got for his support for torture, I'd say jumping ship is the only viable option. I'm sure the Libertarians would welcome you in to their party with open arms.
Oh, my no means am I putting the blame on anyone else. If I was really adamant I'd find a way. My point was that people like me aren't going to buy sheet music, and we are the people who tabs are aimed at.
It'd be like if the vast majority of people who use P2P illegally would not buy the song if it wasn't available for free. Casual players like myself aren't going to buy the sheet music.
With regards to ad-supported tabs at an official website: that is a great idea and I'm 100% behind that. I don't know of any such services right now. Any "illegal" tab sites do not preclude, say, Sony from putting up authorized tabs. I really just want to learn at minimal cost.
In general, I think tabbing is about as close to a fair use as you can get. The reproduction is obviously for scholarly work, rather than "I don't want to pay for it".
It is bleedingly obvious that tablature is made and distributed for scholarship. In fact, I was attempting to teach my self how to play bass guitar. I got relatively good at it until the tab sites started shutting down. Now I haven't practiced in months.
The sheet music publishers need to get over themselves. People who want to casually learn to play an instrument aren't going to go and pay hundreds of dollars for lessons and buy the sheet music of their favorite artists.
The really sad thing is that these lawsuits are killing what copyright was designed to protect, promotion of the arts.
what is the point in federal taxation at all -- it could be done more efficiently at the state level.
Now you're catching on...
It surprises me that any self-described socialist would be against such wealth redistribution.
I am for wealth redistribution AT THE STATE LEVEL. As I've said elsewhere, not everyone is for what I'm for. That is why I don't want to force it on everyone else via the federal government. Let the federal government regulate the states. Let the states regulate the people.
I was at one time a registered member of the Green Party of Ohio. In fact, they probably believe I still am. I voted for a Green for Ohio House rep. and for Governor this past cycle because I thought they were the best candidates on the ballot.
I'm much too independent-minded to be beholden to a party. Party politics is simply not for me.
Well, I'm a socialist at the state level. I'm a libertarian at the federal level. What does that make me? Feel free to read my other posts not just on this thread to get an idea of where I stand and why.
Also, I'm 23 years old and have ~$40,000 of loans to pay back. My net worth is very, very negative.
And even then, those are de jure restrictions. De facto you can't get elected if you're an atheist because no one will vote for you. In fact there is only 1 representative who is a non-theist. Rep. Pete Stark from California... and he "came out" a few months back.
Those laws are on the books, but I doubt they'd pass constitutional muster. Of course, that provision won't be tested anytime soon because of this poll:
Gallup. 2/9-11. Adults. MoE 3% (no trend lines) If your party nominated a well-qualified Candidate For WH '08 who was _, would you vote for that person?
Yes No Catholic 95% 4% Black 94 5 Jewish 92 7 A woman 88 11 Hispanic 87 12 Mormon 72 24 Married for third time 67 30 72 years old 57 42 A homosexual 55 43 An atheist 45 53
Remember, even if you're well qualified, if you don't believe in the man in the sky, you aren't going to win an election.
The "general welfare" clause is debatable. It obviously means different things to different people.
If it comes up to upholding the Constitution, and stopping people from getting lynched because of the color of their skin, I think the latter is more important.
Again, its debatable. I am not black and didn't live in the south before 1965.
The legislature had different ways to go about redressing such problems in the south, rather than relying on the bullshit argument that they had the power under the commerce clause.
I agree completely, even though I'm supporting Ron Paul.
I'm not a libertarian at the state level. I'm a pretty radical socialist. If Ron Paul was running for my state rep or governor, I wouldn't give him the time of day. I'd be looking for someone to the left of Kucinich (if there is such a thing).
I'm a libertarian at the federal level because forcing my ideas on to the people of all 50 states is a bad way to get things done. You and I could be happy in our liberal paradise with our socialized medicine, $10/hr minimum wage, decent public schools, etc. The fine people in Utah wouldn't.
From a purely pragmatic perspective, the "red states" are a net negative on the treasury (they take in more federal money than they dole out in taxes). They're always trying to shove religion down our throat as well. Cut them loose and let them turn their population into a bunch of idiot hicks that can't get a job. We'll do just fine without them TYVM.
Let the politicians in the shitty states screw up their own states AND NOTHING MORE.

So they have a 50/50 shot of getting it right. How about something more along the lines of 10 laptops? And then they have to say what tipped them off.

Pi does not repeat. It is irrational, and this has been proven.

Granted, that is the law as it stands.
Pray tell, how does that promote the useful arts and sciences?
