In other words, it's not illegal when the Secretary of Commerce (a Presidentially appointed position) does it, of course. So they can lock YOU up for accessing data you're not supposed to have, but when the Secretary of Commerce does it, it's just hunky dory.
Yep. Who needs the Constitution? It's archaic!
Now I see why so many people become anarchists...;)
You want the best media player? Go with the Frog. Ogg Frog, that is. vlc? They can't get their mutexes right, so who knows what else they got wrong. iTunes? Sure, if you don't mind the fact the stale buffer bugs when you're ripping CDs.
Ummm, excuse Mr. Crawford, errr...Ogg Frog, but, um, your website says that Ogg Frog hasn't been released yet. Furthermore, your website hasn't been updated since 2005. I think perhaps Duke Nukem Forever has a better chance of being released before Ogg Frog.

Subwoofers work. The thing about bass is that unlike tones in the middle and high ranges, bass is not very directional at all. In fact, you can hide a subwoofer almost anywhere, and as long it's in the same room you won't notice a difference.
Well, there are lots of webmail products out there. Horde/IMP comes to mind as does Squirrelmail. Horde/IMP is the closest to doing everything Gmail does.
I would not be surpised in the least if it were true. After all, SGI has been on the downswing for quite some time, after making a series bad moves that just completely eroded their marketshare.
BTW. I hear you can pick up killer SGI MIPS equipment on eBay for a song. These machines are still workhorses for 3D rendering, audio and video production.
After all, would ANY government allow one of their top people to accept an electronic gift without it being checked to make sure it's not bugged? That would be a serious security lapse.
I'm sure the iPod was checked over, but how thoroughly and by whom is anyone's guess. It's important to realize that the U.S. and the U.K. are close allies, so generally the iPod would be trusted by the Crown's security. I'm sure before that iPod got anywhere near President Obama, the Secret Service thoroughly examined and screened the device for explosives, biological and chemical agents. That's just standard procedure.
Of course, if we look at your use of an appending redirection (>>) (assuming humortest.txt already exists and has useful data), then you still unnecessarily wrote to a file:

Oh, definitely. I use that format when I need to put a date stamp into something like a filename. For example, if I make a backup of a particular directory, I'll name it something like dirname_YYYYMMDD or dirname_YYYYMMDDhhmm (if I need that much granularity).
DD/MM/YYYY makes the most sense, IMHO, and I'm American. In fact, when I was a kid in school, I thought that dates should be written this way so I wrote my dates that way, and I was corrected by the teacher. I corrected the teacher telling her that if I were in Europe (I had looked this up at the library) I'd write it the way I was writing. Who then called in a parent teacher conference in which they told my parents that I was too much of a smart ass.

The 15" MBP claims a battery life of 5 hrs. Dell claims a battery life of 7 hrs for their comparable Latitude E6500 with the extended battery.
Dell: 5.2 pounds, 1-1.3" inches thick (depending on battery) Mac: 6.6 pounds, 1 inch think (at least according to you)
According to Macworld, the 2.4 Ghz 15" MBPs have a ~2.5 hour battery life. The Dell was recently tested with a 9-cell battery at ~1.5 hours, though you can add a 12-cell battery on top of that to get somewhere in the range 3-4 hours, I'd estimate.
It's not HALF the size, it does NOT have 4x the battery life, is not vastly superior in build quality (I've seen both) and "user experience" is a vague, nebulous, and dubious term used only by Mac fanboys.
So you're going to pay $700 more for a quarter inch?
Score 5 informative? No, not informative. Simply wrong.
A 15.4 inch Dell Latitude E6500 with the same 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo as the 15" Macbook Pro, an NVidia Quadro NVS 160M (a much higher end card than the 9600 that comes with the MBP), 2GB of RAM and a 250G SATA disk with a freefall sensor goes for $1229, right now on Dell's website.
The equivalent Macbook Pro is over $2000.
If you don't believe me, go check Apple and Dell yourself.
Not too different than whitebox desktops, really. You buy a case & power supply (these usually come as a combo), you buy a motherboard (which these days has almost everything you need already built-in)), a CPU, some stick of RAM, a hard drive or four, a keyboard, mouse, etc.
Nobody who 'builds' a whitebox PC -- laptop or desktop -- builds anything. They stick stuff in a box and plug it all together, then install software.
Take it from me. I've been whiteboxing all my desktops and servers for years.
I work for a newspaper. Trust me, they don't research.
So, what you're really saying is that when a journalist says "While researching for this story, we found out..." what he really means is "while I was sitting at the local pub having a couple of beers and lunch, some drunk guy shouted this out..."?

MPlayer is sort of a video backend. There are different front-ends, like GMplayer, MPUI, SMPlayer, KPlayer, MPlayer OS X, etc.
MPUI, incidentally, runs on Windows.
No bass, no deal.
Subwoofers work. The thing about bass is that unlike tones in the middle and high ranges, bass is not very directional at all. In fact, you can hide a subwoofer almost anywhere, and as long it's in the same room you won't notice a difference.

Maybe. But I submitted a story (via a journal entry) and got it posted as an Ask Slashdot on the front page.
I was completely shocked that it even got posted as a story, because really I was just looking for a few comments from friends and fans. :)

You should really have RTFA. That's a UUOC. You just completely wasted a process call and unnecessarily wrote to a file:

When building cat, you have to enable support for tunefs. Try passing the --with-tunefs to configure during the build process on Hurd.
achieve!!!!!
That would be good except that I don't have "The Maker" and I've done this, too.
I'm guessing "The Maker" either has to do with your the number of 1st posts, or, like the WoW thing, you get it if you fill out your IM details.
Yes. In addition, if your eyes pop out of their sockets and you start to drool, it automatically finds more porn like the stuff you're looking at.
No, *I'm* comparing the 15" MBP to the 15" Dell Latitude E6500.
*He* was comparing the wrong Dell.
I stated so in my post, and you would have seen that if you read it.
