Failing to have an appointment organized with the Prime Minister, Richard Stallman then decided to go to the ministry at Matignon (the place where French Prime minister works) on Friday 9th of June at 3h30 pm, with the printed list of the 165 000 signatures of EUCD.INFO petition and to try to be received by the Prime Minister and to deliver the EUCD.INFO petition (printed on a 17 meters long banner).
Is this really a news story? Someone without an appointment tries to seek a personal audience with a world leader and is denied? That's not anti-DRM, it's just common sense.
Google is hardcoded into Safari. It's not even customizable, it's right their in the binary. The reason is because Apple likely makes money from every search, in a similar way to the fact that Firefox makes money from Google searches.
Microsoft is certainly in their right to do this. It's no different. It should make absolutely no difference whether the product being promoted is yours or a third party's.
I hope not. I hope those who spend time, research, and money into creating new software get paid for their product. You know, kinda like everyone else.
And how about the wing of the FBI that investiages kidnappings? If your child is kidnapped, you won't appreciate that?
How about the FBI department that handles serial killers? Surely that's an infringement of our freedom?
Of course, the FBI should have gotten a search warrant, but I'm sure they will now and I hope they can determine who sent the threats, because I want to live in a world where I know if someone sends me a death threat (or what-have-you), that they will be found and I won't have to fear my safety on their account.
Unfortunately it's highly unlikely that the macs will boot windows out of the box, since my money's on the fact that they use EFI over BIOS. Windows XP 64 bit works with EFI, but not normal WinXP. However apparently the Yonah chip doesn't support XP64, which doesn't quite make sense to me, but it's what I've heard. Can anyone clarify?
I'm not sure if you'll read this because its getting old, but I'll reply anyway.
I see what you mean now. I'm just curious as to the format of the session you were at. If it was a standard church sermon, they aren't usually interactive and interrupting would be disturbing the sermon. However if the "lecturer" was taking questions and comments, then I would be just as put off as you seem to have been.
Go to a concert hall, stand up, and try to explain to everyone how warped their perception of music is, and you will get thrown out. Go to an alcoholics anonymous meeting and tell them all how warped their view of alcoholic beverages are, and you will get thrown out. Go to a meeting of a political party and be so kind as to explain in insulting terms what utter morons they are for not subscribing to the competing party, and you will get thrown out.
And yes, if you go to a church and try to tell everyone what they believe is ridiculous, and you will get thrown out.
Wrong: the quotation marks search for the exact phrase "group video conference". Without the quotation marks, you search for any page with the words group AND video AND conference in it. If you want the webpages that may or may not have the word group, video, or conference in it, search for "group OR video OR conference".
Guess I'm a little surprised some users would be willing to reinstall the OS to get rid of the junk Dell loads their machines with at the expense of your time.
At the expense of time? And building your own computer doesn't take longer?
Ruby on Rails is a fantastic new software-only method of transferring precious stones between countries, states, provinces, cities, and territories via train.......
Or you could just go to the ruby-on-rails website instead of asking for some random's opinion on slashdot.
Or perhaps because he is anti-creationist, and not pro-evolutionist. They aren't direct antonyms.
He wrote derisively about creationists; he wasn't defending evolution. He's the chair of the religion studies faculty. I'd say anti-creationist is the most correct terminology.
The problem with the Darwin exhibit is not so much that it supports evolution, but that it takes a very anti-Christian/anti-religion stance. If it didn't attack religion, and simply portrayed the history of the development of the evolutionary theory, I bet more companies would be less wary.
If you tell me the sun rose this morning, I'd believe you, but I wouldn't take your words literally. We still say sunset and sunrise when we clearly know that the earth is moving around the sun, not the other way around. I don't assume you think the sun revoles around the earth.
However, if you tell me that yesterday you drove to the grocery store, bought a cake, drove back, and ate supper later on, I'd probably take your words at face value. Because you presented them as historical truth, not as a figure of speech.
Very good, you've successfully proved that Objective C is used in less than 1% of all projects that are open source AND that are listed on Freshmeat AND that have correctly listed their language.
Get back to me after you take a statistics course.

No, it's not different at all.

Which they are.
Absolutely disgusting...
You realize that the shuffle is still around (at least for now)?
I hope not. I hope those who spend time, research, and money into creating new software get paid for their product. You know, kinda like everyone else.
A beta of anything better have bugs. Otherwise the testers aren't finding them because they are most certainly there.
I don't even see how this is a news-worthy... it's a beta!
And how about the wing of the FBI that investiages kidnappings? If your child is kidnapped, you won't appreciate that?

You don't see a use for the FBI? Pleeease.
It should not matter. It's not flamebait or trolling either way.
Ummm....
Okay, so I'll admit it might just be me, but am I the only one who has no idea what the parent said?
It's not that I agree or disagree, its just I can't see at all what you are trying to say...

But what's your point?

.NET languages generate an intermediate form called IL that is similar to java byte codes but is compiled to native machine code before execution
So, a JIT-based interpreted language then?
It beats trying to get the keyboard and mouse to work ;)

Using Windows more than once?

Liberal use of the delete button would help. And less frequent use of the "Post" button.
