Relax; I'm not mad at anybody. I merely wouldn't rejoyce if she won the title as that may broaden her audience and add credit to her speech. That could, to some extent, make "the bad guys" believe it's time to silence her and thus widen the gap between communities. Granted! That's far fetched, yet very plausible.
prevail
intr.v. prevailed, prevailing, prevails
1. To be greater in strength or influence; triumph: prevailed against the enemy.
2. To be or become effective; win out: hoped justice would prevail.
3. To be most common or frequent; be predominant: a region where snow and ice prevail.
4. To be in force, use, or effect; be current: an ancient tradition that still prevails.
5. To use persuasion or inducement successfully. Often used with on, upon, or with.
"Prevail" in the sense that there'll probably be more linux computers than OS X ones. From the way Linux is growing, that seems the more probable outcome.
Linux came to where it is because it's both entirely open-source and free (as in beer)! OS X is an impressive piece of software, but Linux shall, most likely, prevail.
I happen to be Morrocan! Muslim women are indeed lagging way behind occidental ones in emancipation terms, that is a fact. But blaming it on our prophet is nonsense. Just so you know, there's been a whole chapter named "the women" in the quran that ensures giving them basic rights in times when every baby girl was buried alive in Arabia and when European were not giving them much rights either.
The Prophet Muhamad did, AFAIK, marry a teenager. Another undeniable fact. What you must know is that in most Arab countries it's still common practice (it's supposed to protect them from having sex). I totally condemn it, and two years ago, Morroco set the legal age to 18 (which is still not truly respected in rural areas).
Circumcision is extremly rare in the Islamic world. It's practiced in Somalia (coincidence???), Ethiopia and a couple of countries in the middle east. Never has the Prophet supported such barbarious acts by any mean.
Did ever Jesus ask priests to have sex with kids? I bet not. Still, it's a fact today that many priests do. You don't find muslims blaming it on Jesus, do you?
I'd totally consider supporting her work if she didn't drag the prophet into it. Too bad she did.
That's interresting! I didn't know about her being under protection. She's something, alright.
Now, to get back to the topic, I'm glad you picked Mr. Mueller who's apparently been more involved in fighting for "the greater good" as opposed to "the personal beliefs" (as honorable as the latter may be).
With all due respect, Ayaan seems to like starting flames (litteraly deadly ones). Basic knowledge of Islam shows she never did RTFMs before opening her mouth. It may be Ok on/. but an MP not doing his/her homework, that's another story.
Not sure. While patents remains an excellent way to promote creativity and entrepreneurship, America seems to have failed to grasp the double-edged nature of such system. I seriously doubt any changes will take place in the next couple of decades, as firms have always settled on agreements which are far less costly (in terms fo time and money) than going to court. Lawyers around the U.S. rejoyce, there are still fat times ahead!
Still, why don't they give the option of selling blank computers (which accidentally's likely to decrease the cost which in turn increases the sales; The cheaper a computer is, the more often I'm willing to upgrade) ?
I believe it's just a matter of time.
It IS a scientific research to be published in next month's journal.

Now, I agree that exprapolating this finding to human is kinda wild.
SUSE is an excellent distro (especially for newbies like myself). I dropped it starting from 9.2 though, because the package manager was astonishingly slow.

Better yet. Make getting a "surfing license" mandatory to be allowed to use a hooked computer.
Guess I'll need a tinfoil hat next time to prevent people from reading my mind!

Then again, it's the same poeple who started selling insurances ...

Would you please mention the distro?
Better yet. Link their website in a /. article.

Probably something a little less buggy than OpenOffice and a lot cheaper than M$ Office.
Thanks for the tip! I was actually refering to YaST2 package manager (which has no relationship whatsoever with Apt-get/synaptic AFAIK).

Custom ASIC? Pleonasm.
Way to go! I won't have to struggle with suspend issues on my own now.
I heard Bush found WMD's and not much democracy there. Plus, it shines light at night that terrorists may benefit from.
