There's a greater than 50% chance that the next President will be a Democrat (to my personal chagrin, but I'm being realistic here), and the telecoms, FBI, CIA, DoJ, etc. will have things much worse when it comes to wiretapping at that point.
You mean that they will have to go through FISA, which they can do a day or two AFTER they start tapping, and which almost never says no? Cry me a river.
Of course, they do have to make one application per tap, so that means they couldn't listen to millions... but I see that as a feature, not a bug.
What makes OLED's 'green' is that they don't require back lighting like LCD displays. Which means you can generate images for a fraction of the electrical draw.
Except that it isn't a fraction of the electrical draw---not if they're only 2-3x the efficiency of an incandescent bulb, anyway.
Er, when I studied maths, 1/2 and 1/3 were very much considered to be fractions. Maybe they have since been reclassified as fruit?
Wasn't there a big Merkey-related blow-up on linux-kernel way back? Oh yeah, "On October 4, 2004, Merkey offered US$50,000 on LKML, the Linux kernel mailing list, to anyone able to provide him a version of the Linux kernel that was not licensed under the GPL for his project". Well, you can imagine how well that went down- and of course he would have needed the explicit permission of every single contributor.
Didn't strike me as a particularly balanced individual during that episode. More I can't say.
The movie was great - Mos Def was a revelation as Ford, Arthur was perfectly cast and it kept to the old tradition of being completely different to *any* previous version. (I've heard the radio series, read various books, and watched the BBC TV production before seeing the movie.)
However, the crash recovery does provide an excellent 'save state' for us lazy bastards. Instead of shutting down cleanly, just kill -9 the process and when you restart it, get it to restore the previous session.
This also makes it impossible to read e.g. The Female Eunuch - an important political work, whatever you think of the author - on television without censoring the text. Nice going FCC.
Well, technically the President does have broad powers to wage war as he sees fit.
Good point, with just two minor drawbacks. The United States is NOT AT FUCKING WAR and the United States is NOT FUCKING AT WAR. Now, I realise these are both the same drawback really but it's such a big one I thought I'd mention it twice.

I think you meant:
1. Stale Meme, plus
2. "I know I'm going to be modded down."
3. Profit!!
PS. self-referential post FTW!
I'm posting this from NCSA Mosaic, you insensitive clod!

Huh? CISSP is $500 US, plus a book for about $50, and study time. CCNA is much less. What can possibly cost 10k?
Easy - we'll just port Emacs. Then you won't need to run anything else.

The FBI gonna get your number
They already got your picture
The FBI
And your fingerprints too.
(Has anyone seen GW Bush and Richard Nixon in the same room together? Exactly.)

HTH, HAND, etc.
Stick to the tried and tested - "is it hot in here, or is it just you?". Honestly.
However, the crash recovery does provide an excellent 'save state' for us lazy bastards. Instead of shutting down cleanly, just kill -9 the process and when you restart it, get it to restore the previous session.
I'm not judging - I just don't want to know :p
I'd rather NOT hear about Steve Ballmer's deviations. Maybe that's just me.
Also, the public (American or British) was very happy to support the war as long as we were winning.
Yes, and in the 70's they thought that flares were pretty cool, but now we know better.
Bring it on, baby.
By the way, is SEC/FDA/FAA/whoever allowed to fine European companies operating in the US that don't comply with US law? Why yes, they are.
Currently the money is on Heat death, but IIRC it's pretty much on the edge on heat death/big crunch, so new observations could change our ideas.
STOP CREATING ENTROPY EVERYONE! STOP IT NOW!!!1!
Come and live in New Zealand, eh?
You misspelt 'nuisances'.
Just in the middle of it now and I definitely agree. The other great book I've just read is Zalewski's Silence on the Wire (he of p0f fame).
This also makes it impossible to read e.g. The Female Eunuch - an important political work, whatever you think of the author - on television without censoring the text. Nice going FCC.

Paint it pink and make it generate a small Somebody Else's Problem field?
