Plus, in this case you don't simply apply an SP, you upgrade the whole OS and all applications. There's nothing even remotely comparable in Windows.
it also never says that Cain and Abel were Adam and Eve's ONLY children.
Considering that the bible then goes on to tediously list each and every offspring of various less important people, it would seem very strange to leave out additional children of Adam and Eve if they existed.
First I learned from personal experience that having only one wife also can create a great deal of conflict, and from that I concluded that one should have none at all. However, then I found out that having no wife at all also creates a great deal of conflict. Please advise on how to proceed;)
I don't think kids should know about sex (..) until they are 15 or 16
Make sure to cut their head from their body at age 2, then burn the body and lobotomize the brain. Otherwise they will start to play with their genitals and will have figured out masturbation at age 8 at the latest.
No. There is a huge amount of examples where parts of, say, the human body are not designed intelligently at all, but kinda work and thus have been retained in the course of evolution. Often quoted are the blind spot of the human eye (which is not present in the octopus eye, although otherwise the 2 versions are very similar), or the fact that the birth canal runs right through the only bone ring in the human body that can not expand.
Other examples revolve around the fact that the human is bipedal, and many things would have to be designed differently if this constraint would have been known beforehand. E.g., humans are the only known species to suffer from hemorrhoids, which comes from the fact that the sphincter is located in the same direction as gravity pull. The spine would have to be designed completely differently for a bipedal - the frequent damage to intervertebral discs in humans also comes from the fact that a quadruped design has been adapted to bipedal. Huge parts of the curriculum when learning martial arts are devoted to teach how to handle the limitations of the bipedal spine, and its fixed conjuction to the pelvis, under the influence of gravity (esp. in Tai Chi Chuan).
And while often annoying, let's not forget that this is a consequence of the basic principle that the executive may only act on the basis of law, without which bureaucratic oppression occurs.
And, thinking some more... kernel.org's definition of "stable" might be more along the lines of how Debian uses the word, i.e., "stable" could mean "has a stable API/ABI". And the "won't crash, ever" meaning of stabilization could be left to the distros:
Andrew's vision, as expressed at the summit, is that the mainline kernel will be the fastest and most feature-rich kernel around, but not, necessarily, the most stable. Final stabilization is to be done by distributors (as happens now, really), but the distributors are expected to merge their patches quickly
It doesn't. The homepage says that 2.6.13.2 is "the latest stable version". The old "2.x.y is stable if x is even, otherwise it's a dev tree" hasn't been correct anymore for quite some time. So, 2.6.13.2 is considered stable, but that does not mean that every 2.6.x.y is considered stable. Plus, Linux now leaves final stabilization to the distros, because that is what people run in production. There's been a lot of discussion going on for months, it's all on kerneltrap.
2 questions: 1. How is it a pain? I see that it can take a long time on this machine, but it does it on its own, doesn't it. Unless of course you can't afford the performance hit. Which leads me to 2. Why don't you simply (coss-)compile it on another machine and copy it over?

I would really like to have clarification to my issues...
The GPL Compliance Lab maintains resources for Free Software developers and others to learn about licensing. Members of the Free Software community are encouraged to consult with the FSF regarding licensing issues. However, before contacting the FSF please be sure to have reviewed the GPL FAQ before emailing us.
The Compliance Lab also makes its services available by paid consultation, allowing businesess to access our unique expertise. These consultation services include a software certification program which is explained in detail here.
And OT, when has the FSF revamped their website? Nifty.
I'd like to live at your place I guess. I don't think "humble" is an apt description of Gates' house. Granted, he may be able to afford more, but humble it's not.
you can point to any number of exploits for Windows, etc., which didn't come out until months after the patch had been released by Microsoft. Get it?
I guess you might not get it don't get it. While there were IE holes that were patched months before an exploit, this is, while commendable, not the relevant issue. The fact that there were many IE holes that had an exploit before the patch is the issue, and so far the Mozilla team has a better record there.
Could someone please correct the stupid flamebait moderation? While the poster's tone is somewhat sharp, the timing of patch and exploit do give good reason to suspect that the exploit was created from the patch. IMHO this is an interesting development and something that so far has maybe not gotten enough attention. If the patch needs several days to use distro users, this is a risk.
Well, then we can leave the window close button as is, and the user that wants to close the tab can use Edit -> Close Tab to accomplish this, and this option is already available

This has been repeated by opponents ad nauseam for several years now in Europe, basically since the insane drive to emulate the US system has started. It's still very true though:)

but it won't cause me to question what I already know about God's kingdom
Right, because YOU KNOW NOTHING AT ALL about it. Not even if it exists. Remember, it's all about faith, not about knowledge

Talk about hiding in a cave ;) Version 2 was released in June 1991. Version 1 was released in February 1989.

it has been qutie a long time since Windows or IE had an exploit predating the the patch for it
A month is a long time?
