If the USA wants to extradite him, it should be part of a mutual agreement. Currently the extradition agreement is biased towards the USA. Of course our last government did make that agreement but that's down to the fact that Tony Blair was Bush's bitch and we're still paying for the wars that the Bush persuaded Blair to drag us into.
Essentially the reasons most of us in the UK disagree with this extradition are (in no particular order):
1) The mutual extradition agreement is unbalanced in cases of this type. 2) The guy has Asperger's. 3) Your agencies essentially left the door wide open and he just strolled in. It wasn't persistent hardcore hacking (which your enemies are more likely to do) 4) He wasn't likely to cause any real damage - aside from potentially leaking information, which is quite serious of course but we've caught him, we can deal with him. 5) WE ARE YOUR ALLY! It obviously wasn't a UK conspiracy against the USA. You have plenty of enemies. Concentrate on them!
It's not even quite that simple unfortunately. I highlighted the kernel example because FC12 is based on 2.6.31, RHEL6 on 2.6.32, and FC13 on 2.6.33. So in that particular case, they're picking a version that doesn't match any Fedora release.
FC12 was released with 2.6.31 but is now running 2.6.32, so I guess RHEL6 is closest to FC12.
+1 for FogBugz being awesome and it does everything you ask for extremely well except for it being a desktop app or locally hostable webapp. You could host it yourself but that would be very expensive. I think you should have a little more faith in the cloud though - I believe they are a trustworthy organisation with too much to lose (i.e. shitloads of customers) if they did leak your data.
Or even more so, how do machines or the nurses/doctors see you're still living if you're temporary unconscious (maybe a few too many beers?) and your pulse is zero.
Some kind of tattoo explaining the situation is probably in order.
But is an addiction to nicotine really all that problematic if you're addicted to the patch or the gum? Does nicotine alone have long-term health effects and would those effects outweigh the possible benefits?
I really don't know the answer to that but there surely are issues with being addicted to anything. For example; controlling the dosage levels (an addict may take more than recommended), ability to switch to a better alternative in the future, unwanted side-effects (which I'm pretty sure nicotine has). I accept your point though, if the benefits outweigh the current problems the recipient has, it's certainly worth considering.
I suppose a way to test it for yourself would be to get the patch or the gum and see if it helps you. At least that way, you're not getting most of the bad stuff too.
Whilst your point is valid, he'd be putting himself in danger of becoming addicted to nicotine again if he did so. Obviously he's managed to give up once, but nicotine is *very* addictive so it's probably not a good suggestion!
I once did a load of work on the Circle Line (subway) in London. It was busy, but I had a seat and knowing no one else would interfere with me was good.
Plus you know you've got plenty of time on your hands!
I'm pretty sure that's not true. There's an ActiveX mode and a Java mode. If you use the Java mode and have the appropriate plugin for Firefox or other browser, it should work fine.
Also, if you just want video, you can use something like VLC to view the MJPEG stream. Something like http://ipaddress/image?speed=25 will do the trick.
They're twice the price of an Axis camera, which doesn't have the quality control issues
Yes, Axis cameras are excellent in many respects - and also Linux based. You can even go in and edit the control scripts.
Recent years, that's 500 years ago since Islam made any real contributions to science and the arts. Secondly, babylonians, the world's first battery, etc, were all cultures that pre-dated Islam, and well, Christianity for that matter.
500 years doesn't pre-date either! Although I grant you a couple of the discoveries in the links I provided probably did.
Anyway, I was listening to a BBC Radio 4 show recently where a prominent academic was talking about how in early Islamic culture science was seen as a way of getting closer to god and how this explains why they had such success such a long time ago. It's sad that this motivation has been lost in recent times but I think it's unfair to make your earlier statement about muslims making no contribution to science. Also, I think it's unfair to write off a society on those grounds. When they're less worried about their continuing existence hopefully they'll be able to contribute again.
500 years is an aweful long time without a showing in science or the arts dude. Face it, Islam is at a cultural dead end, a self inflicted dark ages.
Let's see, prior to World War II, there's 2000 years of anti-semitism.
But what does that realistically mean today?
Then, during the war, well, there's plenty of people collaborating on the holocaust
Yes, under Nazi occupation, they had no choice. They were fucked up times. It was a long time ago. Go to Germany man, it's a great place full of nice people. Get with the times.
...and then, after the war, pretty much every European state unanimously sides with Islamic states in continual condemnations of Israel, no matter what she does. I can't how many times the only reason some resolution condemning Israel made it through the General Assembly on a unanimous vote, and that really means, Europeans sided with the Arabs to curry favor with the muslims. And, you did it again in opposition to Operation Desert Storm, and you bitched at the USA until the world is going to basically let Iran get the atomic bomb!
Well I don't totally disagree with you there but I think in most cases it has been because Israel is the nation that keeps taking matters into its own hands and its actions are what is really preventing a resolution of this conflict. It's not because Europeans are anti-semitic or pro-muslim. It's simply because we have our own (usually quite sensible) opinions on how to find a resolution to the ongoing conflicts and Israeli politics is often (not always) the limiting factor.
There's a flash game called Raid Gaza!. Player is Israel. Object: have highest palestinian death: israeli death ratio.
Interesting and quite sickening. Any idea who made it? Could be an Israeli or Israeli supporter who is clearly sick in the head. Or could be made by a Palestinian supporter for propaganda purposes to make out that the Israelis are really fucked up. You can't be sure.
I'm pretty sure the OP was talking about an ideal situation, obviously not something that can be done immediately in the current climate.
I don't disagree with your earlier posted opinion, but regarding the long term, it deserves a bit more thought than you seem to have given it and the insults are unnecessary given his/her reasonable tone.
Why is it that a few million jews have contributed more to science and the arts than a billion muslims?
Errr, strange question. Granted, the middle east (obviously mainly muslim) hasn't contributed a great deal to science in recent years but a great deal of scientific foundation is owed to the middle east (probably muslim but clearly I can't account for each individual!). Babylonian mathematics including algebra, early arithmetic and geometry for one, then there's this story. And what about the world's first battery?.
It seems like your views are somewhat narrow-minded and blinkered.

I do hope you mean you showed the funny post to the guy next to you.

Does anyone have any information about whether this particular release will become RHEL 6?
The last info I saw on it was from this article.
Does that make people who only believe in the new testament anti-Jews?
Jewish-evolutionists maybe.

You're right, didn't notice that. Also Iran uses yyyy/mm/dd, I'm pretty sure that as an American you know who those guys are!
Half the world writes it 4/1 the other half 1/4
Not true - the majority write the day first. See the map here. It seems the Chinese are the only ones who get it "right"!
Anyone know what kind of performance increase VDPAU can give compared with software decoding?
That application I'm working on needs to decode lots of H.264 streams so being able to offload that to a GPU would be a godsend.
In the course of my life I've changed "partners" several times.
Having just noticed your username, I'm not sure if you're talking about real people here! ;)

Intravenously by accident!?! WTF!

They are there, just not visible to the naked eye.

If the Muslims put down their weapons, there would be no more war.
If the Israelis put down their weapons, there would be no more Israel.
That alone tells you all you need to know about who is the good and who is the bad in this war.
