I'd like to welcome you to the country you live in. We call it the United States of America. Here, we have a Constitution with Amendments which is the laws that govern us.
Specifially, the First Amendment reads "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." This means that everyone has the right to speak freely without fear of retribution. This teaches tolerance, the one thing we ask you to learn and reflect.
However, if you do not follow the rules and attempt to remove the freedoms of other citizens, perhaps based upon one of many archaic, hateful, elitist religions, then you become guilty of depriving others of their rights. This is called a Civil Rights violation. This is a crime. For this, you may be fined, jailed, or flamed to death on websites.
We ask you to kindly follow the rules set in this great country of ours.
Sean Connery was born in 1930. That didn't stop him from playing in The Rock in 1996, at the age of 66.
Just because Connery is eligible for Social Security, dosen't mean he's not a good actor.
I just hope he keeps away from the sequel market in the future. It makes him look like he's selling out.
I'd like to see Connery starring in new Branaugh 'Shakespeare' productions, tho. He's one of the best classically trained actors out there. Him AND Patrick Stewart.
The only one issue I've ever had with Gentoo is the automatic updating of configuration files.
After an emerge, the system would either do no updating so I must manually update the config files, or it would update all the files automatically, overwriting everything, including the users file so all my accounts no longer existed (including root).
Until they can find a way to do an "automatic, unattended smart append" to the config files after an emerge, I won't switch to it on my thirteen PCs and two notebooks.
On the other hand, a graphical installer is, IMHO, a bad idea. This allows any dork off the street to say that he's installed Gentoo and now even know what Linux is. Bad idea.
This type of Intellectual Property contract tacked on to employment paperwork is the highest form of
) Intellectual control
) Your ability to have a life outside the large, faceless corporation
) The company's ability to profit for free
) Way of controlling white-collar thought crimes (No kidding, think about it)
And my favorite:
) BULLSHIT
Yes, you have the right to say "I refuse to sign this" and probably lose the job. But you also have a right to say "I'd like this modified."
Now, if you work for a company that says "sign it or leave", get the hell out. This is why I started my own company: http://loudorangecat.com
Serious question here, no matter how bizarre it sounds: Would you ever consider starring in a full length pro-Linux movie that was released under a free (beer) GPL-style Creative Commons licence?
...the late 1800's, there would be only one brand of cars (and no innovation). ...the late 1800's, the only movies being made would be from the Thomas Edison movie studio on the east coast. Hollywood wouldn't exist. ...the early 1900's, there would be only one phone company.
I can keep going, but I'm making a list. Maybe I'm violating David Letterman's IP.
Gaming has become so competitive financialy to companies, new games that have TOS that claims they can revoke your rights to play the game if they suspect fraud (not prove) is not worth playing. They take your cash, give you nothing, and, according to their EULA, owe you nothing.
Society shouldn't have to pick up the tab. So if you smoke, and get cancer, you need to get treatment from your own health insurance, not from state supplied medical care.
Then instead of banning the avoidance of television commercials and music on the internet, just ban cigarettes. They have no positive value whatsoever.
First off, if Linus picks a GUI, he's going to piss off half the users of Linux, who will in turn, fork Linux. I'm not sure what you mean "starts up a desktop linux fork". What's wrong the the kernel going to the desktop? The kernel is *not* the problem, the problem is the desktop (KDE/Gnome/Whatever), and hardware detection (see this for an idea), and whatever else is keeping Linux from the desktop (lack of programs?). Whatever it is, it's not the kernel (if you ask me...).
Whoa... Are you suggesting a Linux civil war by forking the kernel for specific needs?
What the fork?
Fork that.
Fork you you forking fork.
Slashdot Mirror
But then again, he could have honestly meant "Red Hat Linux" because Red Hat is one of VERY FEW Linux-based companies who's actually profitable.

You're still paying the Micrsoft tax after all.

No one tells me what to do, let alone THINK.
You work for EA, don't you?
Write, edit, produce, direct Vampire movies. http://loudorangecat.com

Wil, Have you been asked by Paramount for a cameo in the new Trek series; if they asked, would you do it?
In Canada.
I'll help you replace your pirated Windows for free with Linux, too!
Who runs Intel? Intel or Microsoft?
Intel should tell Microsoft to coexist peacefully with the other 300+ operating systems on the face of the earth.
DAMN, that sounded sexy!
I can keep going, but I'm making a list. Maybe I'm violating David Letterman's IP.
See how STUPID IP laws are?
Give me one reason I should run IE.
I expect the list to contain games with very BAD graphics, but does anyone have a list of MMORPGs that are free of a monthly fee?
Sound familiar?

Does that mean WalMart has an RFID tag on every box of Trojan rubbers, or are they so "anal" that they tagged every individual condom?
*ducks* *runs like hell*

Until someone releases a non-linear digital video editing solution for Linux, I'm afraid that I'll still have that Winbows OS on my dually box.
