No fucking way. The nice thing about walking in New Zealand is *not* having to worry about running into poisonous/dangerous animals. Plus, I don't really want all my fellow walkers packing.45s for self defence. If you want exciting walks, go visit Aussie.
Bollocks. Give people selling mortgages a percentage cut and see what happens. Oh dear, you didn't forget to factor in bad debts a couple of years down the line, when you were calculating their bonuses did you? Well, your SOL I guess.
If they find one of your machines sharing files, they send you a DMCA takedown notice. Even if your University is entirely outside the frickin' United States of America.
HP builds and sells boxes to MS specs which will actually run Vista. MS cuts specs and everyone else sells el cheapo shitboxes which don't run Vista very well, but by the time anyone finds out, it's too late.
I've got a Compaq Presario with Intel 945 and Vista kind of sucks on that. I pity the fool trying to run it on anything less.
This discussion doesn't need any more than the above comment. Is it vigilante justice when someone phones the cops after you run a red light and knock down a grandmother? It's not like the security researchers are smashing up the servers in the colo - they're just informing the providers of a breach of their AUP and asking for the consequences set out in that AUP.
What would rms do if I passed myself off as rms, or supplied copies of any GNU software that was inferior product masquerading as the original?
He'd probably start cryptographically signing his messages and software releases. It's not like this sort of thing hasn't happened a million times on USENET.
*snicker*. I was staying in LA and got told flat out it was "too far to walk" to get to Sunset Strip. Turned out to be 40 minutes at a leisurely pace, which I do on a regular basis. I've walked 9 miles just to get to a fucking pub before now.
Then Oxford University is not respectable. Not that you can get away without studying ordinary and partial differential equations, but you don't have to do any physics specifically.
I refer you to my sig. Meant to be the response when someone was asked why his company didn't do sensible thing X: "It makes too much sense and doesn't cost enough."
To paraphrase Scott Adams, happy people don't need to buy stuff. The advertiser's first job is to make you unhappy with at least some aspect of your life.

OK, I wasn't convinced at first, but you just won me over with your well-reasoned arguments.

What, getting into a monster snowballing fuckup because of boneheaded idealogical reasons and dodgy intelligence?

2008-11-04. It's not just a good idea, it's ISO 8601.
I was thinking "the average user is an idiot and should have bought a Mac so they don't come and bother me."
I don't know if Macs have fewer issues, or if I just don't get to hear about them. Either way, I win.

abilena.podolsk-mo.ru isn't resolving for me right now, but DROP list is worth using.
Uh, I am a 30 year old guy and I've worked with some very creepy programmers up til now. So fucking sue me.
Er, no.

As a long-time golf hater, I heartily endorse the idea of using grenades instead of golf balls. Hell, I might even watch it on TV if they switch.
Maybe they'd be better missiles if they did use open source code - cf. patriot.

Here's my chance to write "fuck off" and get modded +5 Informative.

If the bike is hurting your joints, you're doing it wrong. Get someone to check your posture and adjust the saddle, etc.
btw, I can blow through 7-800 calories in an hour on the bike and that would take me a lot longer if I just walked places.
Er, like get out of software and get into catering? 'Cos otherwise you're pretty much stuck doing business with Intel.
Rubbish. They have first-world programmers who churn out lacklustre code.
