    Can you please tell us more about this allot() function? Is this some sort of manual memory management for php?

    Truly an American viewpoint. Clearly exposing your kid to horrible things like dirty words and "sex" is an awful thing to do, and shooting people in half just for the hell of it is a-okay!

    This is precisely the reason that Ghost Recon is my favorite shooter, far and away. No other shooter seems to let me hide very well, although as a Mac user I admit I don't play too many...

    Honestly, it's a fricken stable version of Debian Sid! That works flawlessly with my aluminum powerbook out of the box (5.04 didn't, I bugged many things, they fixed them ALL)! Use it!

    "For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. And after agreeing with the workers for the standard wage, he sent them into his vineyard. He went out about nine o'clock in the morning and saw others standing in the marketplace without work. And he said to them, 'You go into the vineyard too, and whatever is right I will give you.' So they went. When he went out again about noon and three o'clock that afternoon, he did the same thing. And about five o'clock that afternoon he went out and found others standing around, and said to them, 'Why are you standing here all day without work?' They said to him, 'Because no one hired us.' He said to them, 'You go and work in the vineyard too.' When it was evening the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, 'Call the workers and give the pay starting with the last hired until the first.' When those hired about five o'clock came, each received a full day's pay. And when those hired first came, they thought they would receive more. But each one also received the standard wage. When they received it, they began to complain against the landowner, saying, 'These last fellows worked one hour, and you have made them equal to us who bore the hardship and burning heat of the day.' And the landowner replied to one of them, 'Friend, I am not treating you unfairly. Didn't you agree with me to work for the standard wage? Take what is yours and go. I want to give to this last man the same as I gave to you. Aren't I permitted to do what I want with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?' So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

    What the hell are you even talking about? I'm not a Wikipedia fanatic. I'm contributed one article. Relax man.

    This is just bullshit.

    First off, not all sides must be represented. The page on Earth doesn't talk about the "Is it flat?" controversy. Loony opinions are absolutely NOT represented on Wikipedia. That issue has come and gone many times. No one talks about Pat Robertson's side of the story on Wikipedia.

    Secondly, a lot of the edits on wikipedia are done by students and faculty of academic institutions. I don't consider these people "losers" because they're contributing to our base of information. I consider them an important asset to society.

    Cheers, thank you. And while we're at it, just because some people come up with an "open" format like OpenDocument doesn't mean there's a moral imperative to support it in every piece of software. If I came up with a new "open" image format, should everyone support that too just because it is open? What if the format sucks? What if OpenDocument is not really the universal document format some people want it to be? What if you think Office AND OpenOffice are both fundamentally bad ideas (talk about kicking UNIX methodology to the curb). /Debian user
