Should I set it up in the middle of the street in New Orleans or in Houston?
I don't mean to "Troll" here. This guy had his heart in the right place, but there needs to be a little more leadership here or some suggestions, other than promoting Linux as the savior of victims. In other words, the folks in New Orleans do not have the resources to set this up. Is this guy trying to get folks in Houston and other refugee centers to set this up? I'm here in Atlanta. Can I do something?
Dr. Sagan was more than a scientist at that time and was more of a "personality". In other words, defending his name was the same as if Apple named a project "Sting". I'm sure Sting would be all over that because his name, along with his music, is his product and his livelyhood.
Sagan was also sick at the time and I'm sure he was protecting a legacy for his family and his other interests that depended on his name being worth something. Just my guess.
The way I understand Trademarks, Copyrights, and other intellectual property (IANAL), you have to defend the marks - even if you have to fight every little battle. Otherwise, if Linus allowed someone to market "Linux Condoms" without challenging the name, he, in effect, gives permission. After that, fighting the use of that name becomes more difficult. You wouldn't want to see SCO change there name to "Linux SCO" or even to "Supreme Corp Of Linux" (SCOL). I know of some very ethical people who have the best intentions who will fight for their trademarks (An example)- you have to protect yourself because no one else will!
If this thinking should really take off (doubts based on last two paragraphs), it could mean that companies will have to start training again. And there will be less of the "...along with your tech skills, you need industry experience..." because by hiring experienced people from other industries with the skills needed, there wouldn't be a worry about trade secrets.
is some tech seeing pictures of my baby daughter in the bathtub and then calling the cops because of my "kiddie porn." Then having to spend the thousands of $$$ on an attourney to get myself out of custody and to prove my innocence. Because when it comes to: terrorism, drugs, taxes, and kiddie porn, you are guilty until proven innocent, maybe not legally, but that's how the system works around these crimes.
Google is just licensing the satellite image data from DigitalGlobe and other vendors. It's the same data that Microsoft, TerraServer, NASA, etc. have and is publicly available for everyone with a stamp
Thank you for the list! And I thank the Australians for making this point! I hope Google doesn't censor the images. I'm way too stupid to figure a way around the censors and security!
've noticed if one posts anything on Slashdot going "against the grain" of popularity (differing views on War in Iraq, Linux or Apple for example) The mods immediately presume your post is either a "Troll" or "Flamebait". People often have a hard time setting aside their personal beliefs and tend to view things in a biased manner. The unfortunate outcome of this is they end up burying otherwise interesting viewpoints.
I have to agree with bigwavejas. Troll" on/. == Satire.
Oh, I wish there was a way to explain humor or a poor attempt at it to the mods.
And Goddam/. for inventing "Troll" and "Flamebait"
Famous "Troll"s and "Flaimers:" people:
Thomas Paine
Thomas Jefferson
Ben Franklin
Karl Marx
Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King
Martin Luther
Ghandi
etc...
People who spoke what they truly believed and got Fucked for it!!!
Absolutley. Once, while being screened, the TSA guy in Pheonix actually asked if it was "Ok". I said "Do I have a choice?" He said, "Yes. If you refuse that officer (pointing to a local cop) will escort you to the curb outside."
The sucky part is if we want to stick our rights, we have to eat the cost of the plane ticket. And the time, too. It really pisses me off too that we either have to put up or eat the plane ticket. I don't have the money to do that. Oh, I wish! The fuckers!!!!

I've installed it too and I would have chosen a part of the anatomy that's more towards the end of the animal. :-0
I'll have to write a book myself: "Anorexic Programming" by Smart Ass. "The Ultimate in Lean and eXtreme Programming"!
I thought it meant "I'm ANAL"!

being good for you and how they're deficient in the typical American diet, would be th only thing I would ad to your excellent post.
leaving pr0n on your machine! Oops!

And what happens when you get too close to the Sun? Hmmm.
On the other hand, it would be great to use all those Coke bottles to go to Mars!
Ok, that was lame. I really need to get some lunch!

Is sperm processed the same as urine? And how pleasurable is the urine funnel?
just something that your post brought in my sick little perverted head.
Off to the pr0n sites!

You a missed a perfect opportunity to post the goatse guy and have it be on topic!
Contact
He's saying the same about the REPUBLICANS!
You've pointed out the underlying hypocrisy of both of the major US parties!
You're either PRO-ALL LIFE or PRO ALL-CHOICE. I don't see the difference, but the mods do!!!!
Again, someone with an insightful statement gets modded as "Flamebait"!
Are you John Katz in cognito?

P.S. The pornsites are boring today!
Thank you! I was just trying to illustrate why a national ID card would be folly. I guess one of the modderators was from Germany or something.
