Not about the conceal carry (I've one too). Heck, if it makes you feel secure to do as you do, then carry on. Frankly, if you wanted to be truly secure, you'd have a dedicated VM for browsing that you restored to snapshot after every session. As far as TOR... the extent that others care about someone's Internet comings and goings is often far, far overestimated.
Me, I'll continue on in my somewhat-tweaked-install of FF and my monthly clam-av scans under linux boot. And I'll keep hoping that in my ignorance, I don't get pwned ;
That's doesn't really add up. Adding an additional license is not a semantic difference - it's a completely different activity than changing the original license. You can release your code under LGPL, but the referenced code will/still/ be BSD .

Because it is rightfully theirs (the politicians). It does not belong to the companies who earned it, it belongs to the goverment. Hence, not getting that money means that it is "lost" to them; that they are "deprived", that there is a "shortfall".
What's hilarious (and I posted this earlier in the conversation too, in different form) is that there are people who think that when amazon pays a quarter billion dollars in income taxes for the last fiscal year, that they (or their governments) should have a right to even more.
There's a mentality that says they are entitled to these tax dollars. You can hear it all the time -- it's reflected directly whenever a politician speaks of "lost tax revenue" or a "tax shortfall".
Here's a company that paid 250,000,000 dollars in taxes in the last fiscal year (and that's only income tax) -- and you're complaining that they aren't paying their share? How much would you say is "fair" for them to pay?
Dude, rick-rolling people is so yesterday - this is the new thing.

Fedora 12 Released
·
· Score: 1
Sure it did. It's also got a horrid command-line only interface, right? And maybe it required you to compile drivers from source? Any more 90s-era fud you wanna toss out there?;)
Historically Fedora installs insecure, requiring that you run around closing ports and shutting down daemons that were set up by default.
Ubuntu and opensuse default to the opposite, which is all the home user really needs.
That implies that somehow this is not what corporate installations need?
The problem I have with Fedora is the F@#$@ release cycle. I want something that's both relatively up-to-date, but also doesn't release a new version every six months to do that. Of course, it doesn't help that every fedora installation I've ever had has gone belly up due to package management issues within a year...
I have been thinking of getting a tablet pc for convenience in bed
Skyfire (Windows Mobile, Symbian S60)
Opera Mobile (Windows Mobile, Symbian S60)
Fennec (Windows Mobile, Maemo)
The incumbents
Safari (iPhone)
Internet Explorer (Windows Mobile)
BlackBerry browser (BlackBerry)
So... for "incumbent" we have three platforms. For "challengers" we also have three platforms -- but only one of them is shared with "incumbents". How are the results of that execution on Symbian at all relevant to BB or iPhone users?
Unless they're saying that rendering, javascript, at al will behave identically from platform to platform -- which I find a bit hard to swallow. If they're going to perform tests, they should be meaningful ones - the only meaningful comparison here are the windows mobile comparisons, because those are the only ones on the same platform.
I'd love to see copyright as non-transferable in ownerships (though you can transfer or assign specific rights to third parties), with a 20 year max lifespan. It'll never happen, but it seems like that's enough for it to serve its original purpose. Locking up a single piece of creative work for three generations the way we do it now is ridiculous.
In terms of who I support and how - alas, I'm pragmatic about that. I'd love to say that I only buy music from indies, etc... but I don't. I buy music that I like listening to. If it's too expensive for what I'm getting, or it's a band I find distasteful for other reasons - I do without, no matter how much I might like the music.
Not at all - my point is that my foray into mono showed imperfect support for standard.net API, while at the same time extending/replacing the API in other areas... and that the replacement seemed to get more focus than the 'core' standard API. (Unfortunately I can't remember the name of the libraries involved offhand, this was about a year ago.)
Have you ever tried to contest a fraudulent charge? I have. It's been 18 months since my first letter to Chase and we are still fighting over it.
If it's been that long, look into Regulation Z guidelines and start raising a stink about it. There are pretty stringent rules around how and when these issues must be resolved, enforced at the federal level as well as by the associations (MC, Visa).
It can take a while, depending on the circumstances - assuming you don't mean fraud in the sense of "my card was stolen and all these charges were added", but rather "this charge showed up and I did not approve it.". The usual flow is: you submit the dispute. they contact the merchant. The merchant must provide proof that you approved the purchase. if they can't, it is charged back to them. If they can, and the proof is valid, then generally it's considered closed. However you can re-open it with additional evidence to support your statement; and also request anything submitted by the merchant IIRC.

It's not paranoia if they're really after you.
But if they're not... it is...

dude, finish your sentence! The suspense is killing me!
I run clam AV against my windows partition on linux boot once a month to make sure I can maintain my compromise-free boast ;)

Why would you have to do that? You are perfectly capable of enforcing your rights on your own. Don't confuse "more convenient" with "have to".

Initial mod: informative. Only on slashdot....
Not to mention that running JS performance test on different hardware platforms and comparing results is just silly...
I'm glad I could straighten this out for you.

I am not gonna touch that.
Hm - if it's as straightforward as you say, then I may know someone who can help. Is there a way I can contact you directly?

There are just certain aspects of the language that tend to screw us up, no matter how much we study the language.
