Oh, c'mon. All joking aside, there will be plenty of wild speculation. Let's apply Occam's Razor here and say that most likely, he probably crashed somewhere. He took off from a private airstrip unannounced. No one knew where he was going or even exactly when he left. He could be just about anywhere -- most likely on the ground in pieces.
Yeah yeah I'm all for people's rights to raise kids however they want, but I'm also for the rights of kids to not be brainwashed by david-koresh-worshipping freaks or indoctrinated into neo-nazi-ideology and such at an age where they are too young to have an educated opinion about it... That's the beautiful catch isnt it? These crazy belief systems -require- their members to brainwash the kids... who then grow up and think its the "normal" thing to do to spread the brainwashing, and if you try and stick up for the rights of the kids than everyone bitches and whines that you are "trampling" the rights/beliefs/values of the brainwashing parent I hear ya, man. But do you know what the difference is between the 'brainwashing' techniques of the david-koresh-worshipping freaks or the 'indoctrination' methods of the neo-nazi idelogy and those of most so-called 'mainstream' religions?
None. None at all, my friend.
Frightening, isn't it?
And that is precisely why everyone bitches if you stick up for the rights of children to not be brainwashed in the way you just put it -- because, to quote Spock, a difference which makes no difference is no difference.
And exactly what part of zero is it? A half of zero? A third of zero? A quarter of zero? Lessee here...

Yup. Still zero. And, no, no Pentium bug here...I run AMD.
Well, now we know which states Microsoft has the most paid lobbyists in.
Seriously, I don't see how the antitrust suit has had much bearing on Microsoft's behavior. They continue to act like a monopolist. Prices for Microsoft operating systems have actually gone UP, not down (despite prices for virtually everything else in their industry dropping) and their market share hasn't changed significantly in anyway -- when it has changed, it's been due to superior and/or cheaper products, such as all-in-one file servers with embedded OS, Linux, or improvements in Apple's Mac OS X.
From a TCO point of view, add Solaris X86 to your existing Sparcs isn't that big of a deal and Sun has made pretty good progress in making Solaris 10 much more on equal footing with Sparc based Solaris so now you only need admins who are expert at one OS, you've got easier compatibility with your software etc. No way. Solaris X86 doesn't add any more compatibility with Solaris apps than what Linux already brings to the table. Solaris SPARC apps have to be recompiled to run on either Solaris X86 or Linux -- doesn't matter which. Admins skilled on Solaris don't need much more expertise to be skilled on Linux, as Solaris is the closest OS to GNU/Linux of any other UNIX-like OS except perhaps FreeBSD. Solaris X86 and Solaris SPARC have enough differences to make Solaris X86 somewhat of a similar learning curve for Solaris SPARC admins as compared to Linux and Solaris SPARC.
Really, I don't see any value add for using Solaris X86 over Linux, even on Sun X86 hardware.
RHEL Workstation isn't bad. It has a lot of the desktop usability of Ubuntu and support from Red Hat. HP and Red Hat have a long-standing business relationship as HP already sells workstations and servers with RHEL pre-installed.
Additionally, IT organizations need to be able to rely on their operating system software for mission critical applications. This does not instill any sort of confidence in Microsoft operating systems. And Microsoft is scratching their heads wondering why IT organizations insist on running *nix on mission critical servers...
Let's just go back to cooperative multitasking like Mac OS where everything was simple.
And we don't do that because cooperative multitasking SUCKED. Both Apple and Microsoft completely agree on that, because each of their next-generation OSes (Windows NT and Mac OS X) replaced cooperative multitasking with preemptive multitasking. And Unix has always had preemptive multiasking.
Didn't increase or maintain its marketshare illegally? What the hell do you call all of the RICO violations that Microsoft has been guilty of with SCO v. IBM, asking companies for 'protection money', and the thinly-veiled threats to sue the FOSS community into oblivion?
The Justice Department has clearly been replaced by members of the mafia.
Sure they can. Many such HOAs are deed-restricted communities. IOW, the HOA hold the title to the land, you hold the title to the house. You can install the antenna, but I'm sorry, you'll have to move your house off our land. Seriously. This is done every day in America.
The GPL (conceptually); lets people use the software freely, but requires that they "pay" you if the change and distribute the software. Now, they don't pay in money, they pay by doing something you want, that is, making their own changes available under the same terms you've made your work available. Some GPLed software authors will accept payment in cash!
Viacom used his video as part of a report that included commentary on it. That's fair use. So I take it I can take some of your copyrighted source code, toss it into a Slashdot comment, and put "Wow, nice code!" at the bottom and you won't sue me, right?
Fair use for commentary purposes includes using brief excerpts of copyrighted material for commentary. Exceptions might exist for very short works, but even that is questionable. So it might be okay for me to post, say, one small loop in your program and make a comment about that, but I can't post the whole source file.
That depends on what country the bank account is in. In some countries, bank accounts can't necessarily be tracked back to the owner, they are secured only by a really, really fscking long account number.
Actually, on my current project I couldn't without rewriting significant parts of it, because it uses a GPLV2 licensed Python module. I have a couple of other projects, one of them being an installer for my current project, and I have actually already considered dual-licensing the installer under BSD and GPL (for obvious reasons).
It's a good analogy, but seems to be lacking in common sense to a degree. How many people actually need wi-fi? I'd wager damned near close to nobody. It's a luxury, a convenience that helps some people, but is not really a necessity. The purpose of cities is to focus on providing necessities -- trash removal, water, roads, polic, schools, etc. If there's a large enough tax base, then cities can also supply some 'wanna-have' items -- like parks, ice skating rinks, swimming pools, etc. But these aren't necessities and can be shut down if the tax base slips too much, or if providing the necessities (the 'gotta-haves') begins to become more costly.
Wi-fi is in the wanna-have category, not the gotta-have category. If enough people want it, and they're willing to pay for it, then cities can provide it. But, in my mind at least, wi-fi is best left to the private providers, who can make money from in any way the see fit because those who want it will pay for it, those who don't, won't have to.
Am I the only one surprised the government was able to pull a project like this off? Or is this just propaganda to make us think they are more competent than they really are? Well, personally, no, I'm not surprised. All of the available evidence pointed to this capability -- the warrantless wiretap program, Bush's involvement in the program, AT&T's involvement in the program, etc. The only thing that surprises me is that it's the FBI and not the NSA.

No, no. That's just Theo de Raadt. All the zealots look the same anyway,
I don't know about Germany, but my generation grew up with computers. (I'm 35). And most of us seem to have almost no interest in politics.
And we don't do that because cooperative multitasking SUCKED. Both Apple and Microsoft completely agree on that, because each of their next-generation OSes (Windows NT and Mac OS X) replaced cooperative multitasking with preemptive multitasking. And Unix has always had preemptive multiasking.
Because then no one would search for his LinkedIn account, thus upping his number of connections from a mere 8.

No. They should post the video on YouTube and when Viacom uses it in a VH1 segment, they'll get sued.
