John Paul II, the late pope, explicitely said that he believes in evolution, it is in no way contradictory to the Bible, and that most likely the act of creation happened at the point of the Big Bang.
So, if even their boss is against them, how can those "christians" spread their Lysenko-like propaganda?
In an ochlocracy, the politicians need to tickle the needs of the unwashed crowds. Joe Sixpack and Ms Ten-Kids-And-Living-Off-Social-Welfare don't give a damn to IP laws. It's all about panem et circenses, no one cares about _you_.
However, once the politician in question won his seat, it's the time to reap his benefits. Usually, this means collecting the favours from his corporate friends, people who sponsored his campaign in the first place.
Thus, the only opinions heard are those of the mob and those of big corporations. Free market? Free speech? Scientists? Middle class? Principles? Hah.
Yes, that's a valid point. But, unless you have any local users, you're limited to just a few packages. It's a bit burdensome, but the @#$%^&* ISDN crap would take too many backports. I phased it out from all but one box so in theory I can downgrade to Woody, but, with the freeze promised in <10 days (yeah, sure) I'll just keep watching the security lists myself.
.ini has the serious disadvantage of not allowing for more than two levels of properties.
But don't worry. I've once used a mmapped structure to make sure the config gets preserved over crashed -- but fortunately, someone beat me back into the senses. Try to exceed _this_ level of brain-damage:p
Yes, it's based on Unstable -- but with a lot of unofficial packages being thrown in. I personally learnt to trust random repositories as much as I trust rabid dogs. If it's anything more than a single package without any dependencies (like micq), the interoperability with other packages is usually shot. This applies to some degree even to Christian Marillat's packages, one of the best repositories.
Debian developers are extremely cautious. They don't usually package a given piece of software until months after it's declared stable by the upstream. This makes them picked on by the rest of Linux world for "outdated, ancient software", but thanks to their policies I can run Debian Testing on production servers, with the only thing borked being ISDN support (which doesn't work in Stable at all).
Not really. Who uses Flash for anything but advertising?
I used to have Flash and Flashblock for some time, but, I can't recall the last time I clicked through it. On this new machine, I simply didn't instant Flash and I'm happy.
If something that embarrasses the powers-that-be gets out, it will just be remotely revoked making it unreadable.
Nah, all it takes to defeat this facet of TC is making regular backups.
Also, don't forget that anything that can be viewed by a human, can be recorded. Even if you lock down the box completely, there is no way you can stop a video camera pointed at the screen.
TC is based on flawed reasoning. And even though you can declare breaking it illegal, you can't make it impossible. Thus, it's placing a great burden on the legitimate user while doing nothing except for a mild obstruction for those who are unauthorized. If I'm already "pirating" a song or copying a classified military document, I'm already breaking the law so I don't exactly care about the DMCA.
Well probably the wealthiest musicians are also the most popular and therefore have the greatest audience which would go to concerts. Touring is mostly a consequence instead of a cause I think.
Yeah... and tell me, what's the cheapest way to get popularity, together with good karma in the fan's minds?
Yeah, so there's a http proxy on the way. If you want to get past it, it must be a legitimate http request. First, check if port 443 is open. In all corporate firewalls I've personally seen, it is. It usually has no proxies or anything. If it doesn _not_ work, you can encapsulate ssh traffic in valid http, or use another trick like tunnelling it over DNS.
Well, we now know that we need to drive carefully.
The rovers are sun-powered, so the other rover can simply drive all the way after its done with examining its vicinity. We have the time, and the Little Green Men are already helping with dusting the solar panels:p
Yup, such recursion can be a nice exercise, even if just for its hack value. This said by a guy who hit his "screen -DRR" alias a few times too many...
great security (and I don't mean your network, I mean the network of Joe MCSE)
awesome bandwidth
no interference problems, ever
The only advantage of WIFI is the lack of cabling. Unless you're talking about laptops, this is of little importance in an office as you need _some_ cables. At least until you get that Tesla rig working...
How about the death penalty for the MPAA execs for each time they falsely advertise something as being so great, when it's a sinking turd?
False advertisement isn't that big a crime, but extortion and perjury sure is. If people started actually suing them for unlawful threats, we could get something done. Of course, it would take a lot of organizing work to pull something like this.
Generally, int stays 32 bit everywhere. What MS did, is making long to be only 32 bits wide, only a half of the machine word. This is damage, and it's inconsistent with the rest of the world.
Sure, you _do_ have the freedom to run any program you want to run. It's the natural thing, and it will remain the case unless RMS' worst dreams come true. It's your computer, your account and your freedom.
But... if you want, I can write a virus for you:
echo "rm -rf ~" >prettygame chmod a+x prettygame
Hey, it's a dangerous trojan that poses as a pretty game and is able to destroy all your files! Aieee!
You see, if you don't use ASP.NET and/or PHP, you would need a really fat pipe to need more CPU than this box has. Static pages, perl and MySQL mean it's nearly purely bandwidth-bound.

Check what happens if you give sapience to an elephant (second example) or monkey.

- really wasteful
- it takes a long time to parse
- inconsistent (like, the sometimes-freeform-sometimes-not issue)
- quite human-unreadable

"Keyboard not detected - press enter ton continue"
That's actually common for a number of BIOSes.
Have you ever programmed using win32 API?
It arbitrarily exchanges void*, int and DWORD among system calls.
The prime example are Window procs -- lparam and wparam carry numbers around 50% of the time and pointers the other 50%.
On the other hand, I can't name a single case of this kludge in Real Operating Systems(tm).
Generally, int stays 32 bit everywhere.
