That sounds like a prime forumla for Democrats and Socialists to form a block (you know they would). You can't really assume that enough of the Libertarians would caucus with the Republicans to even it out. Some would likely caucus with the left over drugs and sex, and some would refuse to caucus with either side. We'd still end up in pretty much the same situation that we're under now with that breakdown.
I dunno... I hear Nazis had a thing against Poles.... but at any rate, I had heard one time that there were thought to be traces of Neanderthal DNA in the Basque population which is why they are so fairly distinct from other European groups on the genomic level. But I could be wrong.
Their motive is probably to make money, like always -- and like any business. Even RedHat. Sure, RH may employ kernel devs, Gnome devs, etc., but at the end of the day its just to make the system that they sell better.
Opening PST means being able to more freely move Outlook data between mail programs such as Evolution. The more interoperable the mail client is, the less it matters if all your engineers are on Linux and all your marketers are on Windows, as this is likely just a step towards being able to have say, Evolution, fully support being able to talk with an Exchange server. If you can get all of the features of Exchange across platforms at the expense of opening specs of a mail client that they don't really make that much money off of anyway, then they'll likely be able to make some more sales of Exchange server.
From a purely technical point of view, that may or may not be optimal, but if every part of the business could tie in with the Exchange server regardless of what operating system they need to run for the rest of their tasks, then it makes it all the more attractive from a business standpoint.
I could just be off base though, but it seems like that is a possible eventuality. This just has to do with data storage I think, but even being able to import contact lists, mail boxes, etc, more smoothly is a good start, I'd say.
If a place smells like a moose just died in it, especially if its also visibly dirty, then I just sort of get the impression that it doesn't actually matter what I do in there. On the other hand, when a place is spotless, smells lemony fresh and everything appears in order then I'm not going to be the one to put my feet on the coffee table, no matter how tempting it might be. Smell ties into taste and is one of the more powerful senses we have, so it makes sense that it would play a large part in determining our impression of what is or isn't acceptable in a given location, every bit as much as it tells us what foods seem OK to eat.
Is this really that surprising? I mean, splitting threads over different cores, having two cores still isn't going to be that much faster than one. I wouldn't expect to see much a gain just from this any more than I would on Linux or BSD. Still, every little bit helps.
Because they're selling pirated copies of the handbook, which is the problem. Its not that sales of the handbook are banned, but buying a PDF from some dude who made one without authorization is pretty much a crime, like the counterfeit dvd factories in Hong Kong, not the dude sharing over bittorrent for free. But, oh yeah, this is Slashdot -- home of the FOSS zealot -- fans of a system which lives or dies by copyright, but to whom copyright is anathema.
Totalitarian only since 1917? I can't really think of a point in Russian history where they weren't a totalitarian, or at least authoritarian society. They went from Czars to the Soviet Union to corrupt oligarchy half controlled by the maifa and half controlled by former KGB guys. I'm not sure Russia even knows what freedom really means, because I can't see that they have have had it.
Because over-population isn't already a major issue. That's ok, though... we'll just keep the youth and immortality expensive, that way only really, really rich people can afford it, continuing to live on into eternity and amassing ever greater levels of wealth for themselves. Only, the clones can't reproduce... and.. and.. then it just gets more and more like a strange cross between Underworld and Vanilla Sky from there.
I'm pretty sure that they mean the effort itself is going to be based on open-source technologies, and not that there is an effort to open source the legislative procedure, which is something all together different. We have elected legislators to make laws, and citizens can petition directly or in groups (some people call them "special interest groups," but only because they aren't a member of one... when it's their own "special interest" then its magically a "citizen's organization" or something equally gay).
"Open Sourcing" the constitution and the laws really makes no sense. Creating a free service, built on open source technologies with open APIs for accessing data in open formats so that anyone can have access at any time to the text of laws makes a great deal of sense and is something which should have been done a long while ago, because thomas.loc.gov kind of pisses me off.
I have a Blackberry Storm on Verizon, which is dual-band CDMA/GSM capable. Of course, its CDMA on Verizon, but I could roam in Europe with it via GSM if I were so inclined. I got it last January, and I must say, any problems that I've had with it I am quite sure are not because Verizon has attempted to cripple the device. I can even grab the Google Maps application and use it with the built-in GPS receiver for free instead of paying the $5/month VZ Navigator fee for their service.
After nearly a year, however, I can say I'm not that impressed with the touch screen and sort of wish I had gotten one of the newer Curves or something, but it does its job well enough.
The data stream is encrypted, and decrypting that data stream would be the same as your neighbour sniffing and decrypting packets you send over wifi just because they're traveling through the public air waves.
If you install Linux on your PC when it came with Windows, thus giving yourself a full development environment, when the PC itself didn't come with that software capability in the first place, then that's the same according to your rebuttal.
Installing a new OS on your TI or on your computer is more like buying the DirectTV dish then re-purposing it as part of some amateur radio operation, not unencrypting channels in DTV's data stream.
Because in the case of direct tv, you're paying for the service, not the hardware. If i go down to Best Buy and shell out $200 or whatever for a new TI-89 Titanium (my classic TI-89 is starting to look somewhat stayed...), then I never need anything from TI again. I take that thing, and I'm done. No real need to plug it into anything; TI doesn't beam the CAS down via CDMA wireless signal like some sort of Kindle thing.
Basically, with the calculator, the hardware itself is the FINAL PURCHASE, whereas with DirectTV, you're basically renting the hardware as a means to access a service, which is what you're actually paying for in the end. Cheating on what you're paying for as far as channels go is clearly wrong. Modifying a piece of hardware that once bought never needs to have any interaction with the mother company again is completely different.

It's not abstinence if you're never in a position to have to make a choice :-p

I pretty much only code in Perl these days, so... not even the ones I've written myself, I guess.
That's what she said.
Is it called Lambda because gay sex is recursive?
Hey, he only said intelligent... he didn't say serious or topical. We can get on with the smart and poignant wit now. w00t!

Don't people say that already?
Dude GM games are worse than GM crops. You should seriously boycott that shit before you get cancer.

Because that worked out so well in Clockwork Orange...
Summer Glau really isn't that attractive... she reminds me of a sickly Christina Ricci.

But, why would the Attorney General have wanted to hack WalMart? What can this mean? Conspiracy theories abound...
