"The thing is that Defending Canada is not that high of a priority of the Canadian military. "
Isn't that any military's highest priority?
Here at the Canadian Army, we taking defending our borders second to cutting down trees and smiling politely.
Seriously, what are the odds of Canada - or any other first-world country - getting invaded these days? More specifically, why would anyone want to invade Canada? The people seem pretty friendly, haven't pissed anyone else off (or at least not much) and the winters are long and cold.
yeah... just now getting shared lib support? Am I supposed to be impressed, surprised, amused, perhaps scholastically challenged on a theoretical level...?
Don't be a dick. I first used Minix back in the late 1980s, when it first came out, on an IBM PC/AT. It's great for educational purposes, perhaps even better than Linux/BSD. Any continuing progress on something like this is a good thing.
Spock: (Explaining to Kirk how the mirror versions were so quickly spotted) It was far easier for you as civilized men to behave like barbarians than it was for them as barbarians to behave like civilized men.
Way back when I was young and still living at home, I was looking out the back window one summer afternoon to see a guy climb over our six-foot wooden privacy fence to retrieve a Frisbee. He got about five steps into the yard when our two large german-shepards noticed him and took off in his direction barking their heads off. I've never seen a guy scale back over a fence so fast. I then watched him walk out and around and I met him at our front door with his Frisbee. Dogs are fun.
Peter Gibbons: "I get in around 9:30 and usually zone out for an hour in front of my computer, but it looks like I'm working. I then zone out for another hour after lunch too. In fact, in a given day, I'd say I do fifteen minutes, of real, actual work."
That's what's really different certainly between our approach to convergence and for example Windows 8, where when you're in the desktop mode, which looks like Windows 7, and suddenly you get the new tile-based interface, it's a stark transition that can be jarring for users.
Um. That's because you made the Ubuntu Desktop look like a tablet interface, so of course there's less difference - duh.
The more ideas and ways of looking at the world you bring to the table, the more diverse your solutions and creativity, and the more developed your economy becomes. This seems to be broadly supported by history as well, since the most prosperous trade often occurred when and where cultures mingled freely.
The Middle East and the US Senate/Congress of late would seem to be exceptions...
I should point out that transfats (in some types of processed food) and hydrogenated fats (margarine) have been scientifically proven to be bad for you. But saturated fat hasn't.
You might be interested in these two videos (they're both 1.5 hours long, but really informative):
So you think that liberty is something poor people shouldn't have, that it's bad for them?
I'm not sure where you got *that*, but "liberty" and "personal responsibility" don't mean the same thing, except for conservatives that use those as code words to express their desire to opt-out of the social contract. Their real meaning is "fuck poor people, I got mine." Watch a little more Fox "News" or listen to Republican rantings and you'll see what I mean.
Leaving the standard key bindings in place allows one to be immediately productive anywhere
I have a 90 line.emacs file that allow me to be even more productive on my computers. You win some and you lose some.
Sure I get it. Mine is 540 lines, carried forward from the mid 1980s when I was a LISP coder, but I can work without it - 99% standard key bindings and all. And back then, you couldn't carry your config around on a USB drive...

640K ought to be enough for everybody!
Yes, I do agree...hearing this fucking joke 640,000 times ought to be enough for everybody...
Back in the days of the IBM PC/AT (yes, I'm old), I had a boss who actually said 640K should be enough when I asked for more RAM.
It might be two closely orbiting bodies of rock, in which case you can't push on one in any type of consistent direction.
Sounds like the current US House and Senate. Can we fire thrusters at them anyway?
No, it's like 10,000 spoons when all you need is a knife.
Don't be silly. There is no spoon.

Is the value "DoNotAllowIE10" or "DoNotAllowIE10"? Because I've seen it both way in web searches.

Civilized people must be prepared to abandon their civility when the time comes.

Remember back in 2007 when a guy almost got shot at an airport for wearing a tech-art shirt with a only small motherboard attacked? Slashdot reported it here. Or in Nov 2012, a got arrested at an airport for wearing a strange watch.
Oh what fun a whole ensemble of tech-clothing will be.

We exist to help donors promote liberty which we understand to be limited government, personal responsibility, and free enterprise,.
Conservative code for "we don't care about poor people and don't want to pay anything to help them."
