Yeah, I remember that Windows NT waves it's Common Criteria rating so boldly. Ms just forgets to mention that the Common Criteria rating was given in a non-networked environment.
With a different color, with sticking a link - "Repeat of this and that", but the most importantly with an option in preferences to switch showing dupes off.
Editors can go on the way and say "uh, it's not a bug, it's a feature", but then act like as if it would be a feature! I would even be happy if they would offer the option to switch off dupes for subscribers only.
My personal opinion is that it's a bug and editors don't do enough to handle it. In my previous post i offered my help (email sent, btw).
Please state your requirements about a dupe checker, between realistic boundaries.
Things like - integration into the accepting stories interface seamlessly, spamassassin style dupe detector with a point based system, or even coding bayesian algorithms - are possible.
I'm willing to (help to) code it. With two conditions. You'll apply it and use it. If this happens i'm predicting a serious decline in dupe stories and posts.
If you fail to do this or you're not interested in this offer, then STOP being pissed, put up with the hate mail, the accusations about ad revenues, and use the bloody search function.
Just to make sure this offer reaches you i'm going to mail it to you, and continue to do so - in regular periods - until i get some kind of reply, either a yay or a nay.
I don't know anything about Debian, so I can't comment on it. Is it possible to install only Gnome 2.10 from unstable, and have everything else from stabe/testing (I assume it is, but I thought I'd ask)?
It is possible, but fscks things up on the long term, especially with a large meta-package like gnome
Sure. So it's all the fault of lefties...bah. Tree huggin' hippies, damn them all.
Seriously, i'm really suprised how can you have a such ignorant world view. I could tell hours and hours for you about the US shipping weapons and supplies first both to nazi Germany and the british and french. Then because of basically the germans got cut off, the USA transferred goods mainly to Britain and France. Of course it got a bit dangerous because of german submarines, and also it would have sucked if all that investment would have been lost, so USA ignored the japan plans about Pearl Harbor, it gave them a perfect cause to join the war. They continued to ship weapons, goods to Britain and after the 'Allies' won the war, a nice american guy formulated the Daves plan, so that they could (the usa) get back their money invested. If you're so ignorant to pretend that this was about fighting against the evil or that sort of things, you're most certainly not objective enough to teach children. People should learn from history not to step into the same shite again, not turn it into a fairy tale.
You could invent the best encryption, or even the perfect one, still it would be like beating a dead horse with DRM. Why? The problem is that You store the KEY and METHOD on the same non-trusted environment(user's machine) as the encrypted data AND you're actually decrypting it. That's how you see the video/music/etc. Nothing stops someone from extracting the key from the obfuscated binary and decrypting the file easily.
SHA-1 broken is still much stronger than (unbroken) MD5 bruteforce was. I can't find the excellent post comparing it with wall sizes, but its something like MD5 is a 40 cm wall compared to SHA-1(unbroken) which is 9km high wall, and with SHA-1(broken) which is a 2km high wall.
The numbers are made up but more or less accurate.
So you're saying that if i write even a song i'll have profits like Sting? Oh come on, despite a quote from one of his songs in my sig, i wouldn't say that.
Most of us won't get any serious profit from our writing, but he does.
I always hated VMS, it wasn't the best operating system in it's time either, just think of the NASA worm, forgot it's name, but it happened. I also was forced to script on VMS (DCL), and its making bash look like the pinnacle of techological advancement. This is not to mock bash, it has it's place, but i'm only saying it with comparison to DCL.
Uh, isn't that a bit, just a tiny bit favoring apple? I"d be all for it, but to be honest it's not how things look like atm.
First of all, the price could be argued, second of all. it seems that you're advocating the FOSS power as a base or foundation for an operating system, rather than apple's talents.

You should have listened when i told that Neumann guy about how to make a proper computer around 50 years ago!
Well, this tells me you should get a new username. Or s/ImaLamer/ImaTroll/

Sorry i wasn't informed. When did this outstanding event happen.

Sure. Then, please editors, mark it in some way.

Yours, a beautiful mind
He must be slightly drunk or something, or just pissed as hell for some obscure reason.
Yeah, i suspected that they are filtering based on it, but i still don't get why?
Seems like a bad practice for me.

Btw, does anyone know why does the link from slashdot asks me for registration, but not the one from Google News?

That's true for for example debian too. FYI, i run debian and gentoo as desktops.

you're not from texas by any chance are you? :)
Even South Africa switched before the 1930-s, despite their gold mines.
You're clearly not seeeing the big picture motherfuckah^Wmy dear, dear old friend, so i feel inclined to paint it for you.
HE'S PROFITING FROM HIS FUCKING^WFINE AMATEUR MUSIC MORE THAN 99.999% OF US COMBINED NEVER WOULD HAVE.
I call that kind of thing a conflict of interests.
I thought RMS was St. Gnucius not just a mere prof.
Now, seriously, i wish my university would act like this. I'm studying IT and half of the boxes are still windows. Sucks.

Possibly happy.
Some people have no conscience...
