I work at a major British college, and a lot of my friends work at another one (no indications of which, of course).
Every year the adminstrata down in the BLNAK building declare that all computers in the college must run Microsoft Windows - and every year the Maths, Physics, and Aeronautical Engineering departments send a small delegation to explain to Sir. BLANK ' cronies that this is not an option, and they will continue to use Linux, Solaris, and Irix (the computing department just ignores the dictat).
Sadly I can see this somewhat weakening their case.
You are a classic example of why people should have their licenses revoked.
In your example the cyclist is not only obeying the law (which you are not), they are also doing the most sensible thing -- keeping themselves in the most visible area so as tyo make sure they get seen.
The government doesn't force you to speed - you made that choice yourself.
Admittedly the punishment should not be a fine -- it should be a temporary ban on driving and a requirement that you repass your test. Repeat offences should result in a permanent ban.
A car is a deadly piece of machinary - if you can't abide by the safety regulations you are not competant to use it.
No, bizarely all our road lengths are still measured in imperial units - even though every other damned thing is metric (except milk and beer which come in pints).
is keeping the records for two years - I can't see any good reason for that. The cameras themselves aren't much different from the camera system already used to maintain the congestuion charge in central london and are overall a Good Thing.
(As a cyclist I find that the largest regular threat to my life tends to originate from speeding/incompetent motorists - and I want them to be caught and have their licenses revoked)
Faster for certain purposes - Darwin/OS X is noticeably slower when it comes to agressively multithreaded applications - such as webservers serving to multiple users (which is one of several reasons I personaly consider the X-serve and OS X Server a poor joke).
Well no, christian creationism is - other forms aren't.
The problem is when people confuse creationism - the hypothesis that the Universe was created by an inteligent being - which is possible, if unlikely, with Christianity, which is a religion.
Creationists are now going around calling "scientific creationism" "inteligent design" instead - and are pretty much mangling it by adding in all the crud they've acquired from their own religious beliefs.
It falls to me top also point out that the core belief of most creationists (that the world was created only 6000 years ago) actualy doesn't originate from any ancient "holy text", it originates from a medieval bishop, who was mostly arguing that there should be seven ages of the world, to go with the seven days of creation, and that each should be a thousand years long because somewhere the bible says that to the lord a day is as a thousand years.
You'd have thought that the protestant churches would have abandoned such metaphorical interpretation - but they actualy seem to cling to it far more than the catholics ever did.
I am allergic to something in tobacco smoke - yesterday I was choking so badly my girlfriend says my face turned blue because some drunken louts decided to smoke on the bus I had to catch because it was the only one that could possibly get us to the train-station on time.
Every week I am unable to socialise with my friends because the only place our culture allows young men to socialise is in a pub - in which I cannot breathe.
The sooner we get rid of this so-called "personal freedom" the better as far as I can see - "freedoms" which harm, and even kill, other people are intollerable.
Nope, it's still a theory, just one with some eveidence supporting it (and like all theories, it's wrong).
If it had no evidence for it at all it wouldn't be a theory - it'd be a hypothesis - possibly even a conjecture (and it's the fact that so many people say theory when they mean hypothesis that gives so many of these pseudoscistists the apparant credibility they get).
Well if you're using anything from Gentoo you'll be using portage (that's all there is to gentoo, realy) - in which case there's no reason to use apt-get
Actualy, I could see Jobs as the classic Shamanic figure, symbolicly dying, passing through the underworld and being reborn able to bind daemons and make them behave:)
Possibly Richard Stallman is the Fisher King, and Linus Torvalds the classic hermetic sorcerer taking his soul apart and rebuilding it from the ground up as a form of initiation.
It would be nice to think of Gates as a dark overlord, but I think he fits the image of "King Log" better - rising to the top only to become the enemy, maintaining his power whilst losing all sight of why he started in the first place.
Actualy (according to current theories) it would take literaly forever. This is due to the fact that intense gravity causes the same sort of time-dilation effect as high acceleration, resulting in matter which (from the perspective of an outside observer) falls ever more slowly towards the event horizon, without actualy crossing it.
That's pretty much like sugesting that something hit a raindbow and shattered against it - or a cloud. The rings are so diffuse that there realy isn't anything to hit except for a load of dust.
It has to be pointed out that the Darwin kernel, whilst fine for a desktop or workstation, would suck mightily on a server.
Why?
Because it's a microkernel (intended for use with usrspace drivers) hidden inside a shell intended to emulate the monolithic BSD kernel. That's just a recipe for poor multi-threaded behaviour.

Actualy no realy don't.
I'm 22 and I got it. God, my mother liked that song ;)
(Actualy I'm fairly sure someone did a cover recently, can't remember who though)

Me for one ... my new machine will be the first I've had since 1997 for which Linux is not the main OS.
Personaly I'd rather watch on my computer -- outputing to my TV.

Wouldn't it be embarassing for you if it turned out he'd switched from Linux, BSD, Solaris, FreeDOS, OpenGEM, NeXt sTeP, etc ... :)

welcome our frozen carbonated beverage masters.
Maybe. :)
it doesn't matter if we're to blame for the change in climate, what matters is that our actions certainly aren't helping to correct it.

A 'regular' corporate user would be someone who uses a corporation regularly, clearly.

The Koran also makes a prohibition against making war on peoples of the book - that is Mulims, Christians, Jews, and Zorosatrians.
I wish people would read that horrible book and take issue with its genuine problems rather than with the ones that aren't there.
Well, in england we'd call it an Arseload, and we'd assume it was metric because we don't use Imperial anymore.
