If you don't believe him, all you have to do is to look back at ANY Slashdot article on global warming in the last 5 years to see an incredible amount of vitriol and hate directed at those like myself who are highly skeptical of "Global Warming" as a man-made phenomena.
The same shit gets thrown at Creationists and IDers for the same reason. Get a clue. Denying science facts for political reasons is just ASKING for a shitstorm of vitriol.
I will not be shouted down by eco-religious fanatics or ideological thugs, and neither will these scientists.
Holy shit dude it isn't about you! "I will not be shouted down..." who thr fuck cares! The globe is still warming, and turning red in the face and stamping your feet will not stop it.
Halton Arp disagrees that galaxy and quasar redshift has a cosmological origin. In fact, disagrees that the Universe experienced a Big Bang at all.
So why is Halton Arp able to get a job in astrophyisics at all, if scientists are so keen to ostracize researchers who don't "toe the line?" He's a fellow at the Max Planck Institute of Astrophysics, one of the most prestigious institutes in the world, and yet is a "Big Bang denier."
Maybe it's because Halton Arp actually does credible research, unlike these people. Still, Dr. Arp is not able to get funding for research into his alternative ideas about the origins of redshift. He does that on his own time. But he is also actively engaged in stellar evolution research where his ideas about redshift don't come into play. Maybe these geologists and economists should take a hint from Arp.
The file/etc/localtime on these systems is a static binary, not a link to/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/New_York or whatever's appropriate for your timezone.
It's actually a copy of the zoneinfo file for the time zone you specified at install time. It should have been a link, but RH's installer is, well, a work in progress, shall we say. That's why the instructions you see tell you to use "ln -sf" to replace/etc/localtime with the link, in case it already exists.
Is there actually a patch from Redhat/Suse/etc for systems that are as old as Win2k available?
The source for all of the patches is the timezone data published through the US NIH ftp site. (why National Institutes of Health - no idea, but this is the authoritative source). This data is published in System V zonedata format, ready to compile with your Unix's zic(1) command.
ftp elsie.nci.nih.gov cd/pub bin get tzdata2007c.tar.gz quit tar zxf tzdata2007c.tar.gz northamerica zic northamerica
You're done.
If your server runs a timezone other than a North American one, maybe you want to untar the whole thing and glance at the README.
OK, Matt Damon may not be bad as Kirk, but Gary Senise was born to reprise the role of McCoy, not Scotty. And Adrien Brody - fuggeddaboutit. We need a crew of scenery chewers, dammit, not this slate of pretty boys. This is Star Trek, for pity's sake!
Here's my picks for a recast of TOS "The Academy Years"
Kirk: Seann William Scott McCoy: Gary Senise Spock: Jason Schwartzmann (although, he will need to stand on a box, but this time Kirk won't) Scotty: Billy Boyd Commander, Star Fleet Academy: Kurtwood Smith Harry Mudd: Samuel L. "Mother Fucking" Jackson
Go spend some time on Digital Music News to fully understand what is going on in the industry. It's not so simple and you cannot say definitively that DRM is harming the consumer because RIGHT NOW the only way to get that content is with DRM.
No, we can still buy regular old CDs and rip them to our iPods or whatever in one step. No DRM at all.
Better than nothing, isn't it?
Come again? We can already buy the entire catalog free of DRM, and furthermore those who care, can tweak the bitrate or codec to get the exact audio results they wish. Can't do that with online services. Downloads are lesser than CDs from the start, and become even less after encumbering them with DRM. Price is the only thing downloads can compete on, and right-this-second gratification of course. For anything else, CDs still are the superior DRM-free choice for over two decades, and they didn't kill the music industry.
I've had zero trouble with Register.com for my personal domains since 1996. Their spin-off CSC Corporate Domains is entrusted with my employer's domains, and in my role as Hostmaster I couldn't be happier with them. At CSC we have an assigned customer service rep who always handles our issues, but frankly, I hardly ever have to call them because Nameconsole2, their web-based control panel, does everything: registrant name changes, transfers in/out, ccTLDs, IDN, you name it (however, it is awkward to use and only works in IE). I don't know how "large" a customer you need to be to get on CSC Corporate domains, but then I've never had a problem with parent company Register.com for my personal domains. I'm paid up into the next decade, use their nameservers, and I have no plans for leaving. I do wish they'd allow TXT records in their consumer-level web interface though.
This is an interesting turn to me - as one of the things that drove me away from that game was the fact that I faced potentially months of basically waiting for skills to train before I could try my hand at flying a real ship...
You got bad advice. Many new players are told by older players to train the Learning skills up (which raise the character's attributes, and cause him to learn other skills faster - a lot faster) before starting on combat and ship skills. That's terrible advice. New players are not intended to sit in station for two months waiting for non-combat skills to train. You can train Frigate 5 and a small weapon to level 5 before the 14 day trial runs out, and Mechanic and Engineering to 5 before the 1st month subscription is done. You can do that with the attributes you got at character creation, no implants. Now you're in a Elite Frigate and can take on almost any agent mission, even some level 4 missions. You can kill belt rats in 0.0 space without breaking a sweat, although not as quickly as larger ships can. Still, that's some good cash for a 1 month player.
Maxing out Learning skills first is something older players do with their second character, their "alt." And yeah, it makes the alts skills train up a lot faster. But the older player can do this because his first character is financing the skillbooks for the second one, and he has a developed character to play already while the second one "cooks."
I really wish players would stop giving that advice.
For instance, no matter how skilled a player, a 6 month player will always perish to a 4 year player.
If you're talking about manufacturing, yes. If you're talking about mining, then yes. Those skills are character skills, and they act the same for all characters, and the only way to get better is to spend more time training the character skills.
But PvP, no way. There's plenty of opportunity for player tactics and yes, 6 month players can kill 4 year players in PvP, if the 6 month player knows what he is doing. And I guarantee you that gangs of 6 month players take down 4 year players all the time. There's a corporation dedicated to training players with new characters how to effectively PvP in small ships, called Agony Unleashed. Check it out. On weekends, they have wolfpacks of 30+ frigates roaming Placid and Syndicate.
He didn't say, "I look down on women who pose naked". He said, "Much porn objectifies women". Those statements are not equivalent.
That porn objectifies women is an opinion, not a fact. That objectifying women is bad or wrong is an opinion. To say "Much porn objectifies women" is just shorthand for "I think that much porn objectifies women." We usually leave off the "I think that..." because it would be tiresome to always preceed all personal opinions with "I think that..." It's also safe to assume that he thinks objectifying women is bad, otherwise he wouldn't offer the statement as a criticism.
So, neither of you have yet offered any reason to hide sexually explicit imagery from kids other than "Lots of other people think so," just as the article's author imagined.
If you honestly claim that someone who is handcuffed to a bed and sucking someone's penis is not being objectified (I made this example up, but it's sadly probably out there...), then we just have an axiomatic or definitional disagreement.
Well yeah. What's so bad about being objectified, if one is OK with being seen that way by others? Are you going to presume to tell women that like to pose for porn that there is something wrong with them for wanting to do so?
Also, I wonder if you think it's possible for porn to objectify men, and if so, should we be just as outraged by male objectification as we should be by female objectification.
Also, have I objectified my auto mechanic by seeing him only as a means to repair my car? Is this as bad as objectifying a woman by seeing her only as a means to sexual gratification?
Ask your mother|sister|wife|girlfriend if she agrees.
Why not suggest that I ask a nude model or a stripper? Do their opinions not matter? Don't you want to hear what they have to say? Or are they to depraved and degraded to have a substantive opinion?
"Perl (Practical Extraction and Report Language) -- the language which was created by Larry Wall is arguably one of the greatest programming languages. But it has a reputation for taking an excessive cryptic nature which gives it an image especially among Perl novices as a language which is complex and hard to master.
That's because it's just complex and hard to master, and not really all that great.
Ok, here's a reason: Much of it objectifies women and degrades them.
That's your opinion. Other men and women look at it as body-worship. Still other people see it as a simple pleasure without any social stigma attached. It's too bad you choose to look down on women who pose in sexual imagery. We all have our personal failings, but projecting them onto other people will not persuade anyone to your position. Just like the article author imagined, you couldn't come up with a reason that amounts to more than "Lots of people think so."

In Portugal. From TFA:
Scottish engineers will soon deploy an offshore "wave farm" in Portugal.
They have also signed a deal to build an even larger farm in Scottish waters.
Construction of the wave farm in Portugal has been underway for the past year in a busy shipyard in the Portuguese coastal town of Peniche.
Have people caught up in the duplicate-key mess photograph their Windows Vista packaging with the key showing in the photograph and send it in.
And if you downloaded Vista from Microsoft?
Even better - scrap the whole activation thing.
There you go making sense again.
I don't even run inetd!
I guess today's moderators can't recognize an obvious troll.
(which would most likely seem ridiculously contrived)
Yeah, that would be totally out of character for DS9.
Daniel Dae Kim also played the second in command of Excalibur on "Babylon 5: Crusade" so he also has TV sci-fi cred.

And DMSs are not for those of us who want to/have the know-how to rip it ourselves. The DMS exists as a mass-consumer phenomenon.
And CDs are a niche product? I really don't get what you're saying.
