This site will not bring you love, but if you are just interested in a quick fuck it gives valuable input. Make sure to read with an open mind (i.e., don't overlook some of the advice because it is inconvenient, such as "make sure your body is in reasonable shape")
this is basically almost the exact same things as companies that help pay for your car if you put an advertisement on the side
No,not at all. It would be the exact same thing if such a company forced you to look at the ad while driving, and enforced this with surveillance gadgets.
I don't think it's insecure either. I just didn't want to let it stand as you wrote it, there is enough confusion among newbies on the ubuntu-users list as it is:)
You don't give a rat's ass, I don't give a rat's ass, at home. It#s different for a business, especially one based in the US (bu EU is not really different in respect to DMCA)
The numbers I gave were defined as such: in the public health care system, 4% of the overall income of the system (contributions by individuals, contributions by the state financed from taxes, other contributions) was not spent on health expenses for the insured, but on insurance employee salaries, insurance building maintenance, etc. In the private systems it was 30%.
Unfortunately I cannot prove that I don't, I am unable to find it on Google (and well, the study was done at the end of the nineties when the conservative government misguidedly tried to privatize; this is ancient in internet time). However Goggle is full of studies that were done in the EU about public health care, it is easy to learn the good and the bad about it.
Well, I gave you the numbers for a European country. It's worth to note that "public health care" does not have to mean "government-controlled". And seriously, Americans should look how health care is handled in most of the developed world (i.e., at least partly publicly provided), compare the service they get with what those public services provide (i.e., good basic service which can be upgraded for reasonable additional cost, no upper limit on benefits when you actually are sick, not possible to decline applicants), and stop believing the lies about public health care that they are being fed by their private insurance companies.
Studies in Austria revealed that private health care has administrative overhead costs of up to 30%, while public ones had ca. 4%. Which makes sense to me considering the ridiculous advertising and applicant screening that private health care seems to need. And I won't even go into the minor stuff like the different costs created by the CEO of a private company vs. the director of a publicly-held insurance.
So, does Linux 2.6.20-rc6 really mean it's a stable release candidate that I can copy onto all of my servers which control the nuclear missles in the continental United States, or is this just a beta and I should wait a week?
This is an RC by the core kernel team . Once the release is final, you should still interpret it as being "released to the distros" for further testing and stabilization. All critical servers should stick to the kernels provided by their distros, unless they can afford extensive testing on their own.
Not only do we get it at least a year after it's aired in US, we (i) get a version with crappy German overdubs, and (ii) we have an at least 50% chance of the show being canceled mid-season because of crappy programming by the station or idiot fellow countrymen who would rather watch a re-run of Big Brother. Excuse me if I don't use your TV "service".
Slashdot Mirror
No, the correct answer is that Greg Kroah-Hartman's effort won't do it. Anyone else, sure, maybe, but that's not what the FAQ is about.
Good that WINE Is Not an Emulator
Vista on the other hand, is a completely rewritten kernel
It's essentially the kernel of Windows 2003 Server
Does it? I have a pretty recent version installed (Edgy, I think) on a Thinkpad and I only saw the synaptic manager
Look harder. It's right there at the bottom of the applications menu

very day I run Ubuntu as a non-root user. When I need to perform administrative tasks, I am prompted for the root password
No, you are asked for your user password.
VLC violates patents and DeCSS violates the DMCA (where applicable). Thanks for playing.
power wise it's on par with the PS2
Dude, by now everybody knows that the PS2 had the worst hardware of last gen. Even Gamecube was better and Wii is twice as powerful as that.

Exactly how unprofitable was it?
Very, very unprofitable:
Production Budget: $30,000,000
Worldwide Gross: $185,724,838
Here's what Sony needs to learn
They just need to watch this Simpsons episode
Information isn't sentient and as such, can't want anything. It doesn't want to be free, it doesn't care either way.
What, there are still people around who don't get the saying? Information wants to be free in the same way as water wants to leak.

Well, I am hostile to Rand because I read Atlas Shrugged.

Which the Indians don't seem to use at all. Weird. Thanks for the addition.
Yes, I know. So? The question was how frequently the term "soft link" is used as a synonym for "symbolic link".
