Ah, ok. So as long as it's called the National Debt (which is caused by repeated budget deficits) and not "perpetual budget deficits", it's ok. The United States is owned by other nations, but we have good credit, so it doesn't matter. We just have to make sure that none of those other nations call in those debts, though, because if they do, we don't actually have enough economy PERIOD to pay them back. Maybe we'll just use our stellar credit again to pay them off with money from someone else which we can in turn owe far more to.
You work for HSBC, don't you? Well, stick to counting your dollar bills, because negative numbers are clearly beyond your grasp.
What's an Outlook Express? The biggest POS ever. Awesome! Usually you have to pay major bank for Point of Sale systems. Looks like Outlook Express is a free download!
Speaking of this, has anyone played with FedoraDS? I'm not the primary decision maker where I work, and I'm thus afraid of setting it up on my system in case it conflicts with our implementation of AD on 2003 R2. Is it a viable alternative in an environment where users have custom settings and fileshare access deployed to them automatically?
So why do people initially stick with the Toyota instead of the Bob's Garage?
Promise of quality.
You ever downloaded something from a torrent? Kinda hard to know what you're going to get. If you want a promise of the manufacturer's quality, go buy the game or DVD or whatever.
So now, say you're Toyota, and you're faced with this situation. Bob can make one of your cars. That sucks. Hey, I know, let's require a special driver's license to use anything Tototaesque. Then we'll charge extra for it and add some other restrictions, like if you go more than 5 miles per hour over the speed limit, you will be automatically fined several thousand dollars for the possible damage you could have caused to something that may have jumped in your way. And if you try to drive a Toyota-like car without a Toyota license, you will be prosecuted. Oh, and here's a good one... If you have a blue Toyota, but you later decide you want it to be red... YOU HAVE TO GET A NEW TOYOTA! Perfect!
In this example, I dare you to tell me that it's wrong to get a Bob's Garage Corolla instead.
IP cannot in any way be compared via analogy with real property. People who keep trying are completely missing the point.
The problem is that this will be used as the perfect excuse to make online identities founded in anonymity completely illegal. Think of the poor, emotionally abused children. It's very sad that we have to think like that in this day and age, but with the direction things are going and the legislation that's floating around, we can pretty much kiss goodbye any notion of saying something that may be out of line with the norm without attributing it to our full names, addresses, telephone numbers, etc.
This argument is one of the better ones. But I do believe Edwin Aldrin stumbled on the moon, on a hole he clearly had missed and nobody else had ever seen. Observing doesn't mean seeing. It means sensing. If his foot had continued on without experiencing the typical effects of "hole", then it wouldn't have existed in human consciousness, and therefore could only exist on the presence of faith.
The basis for quantum mechanics and solipsism alike rely on the presence of an 'observer' factor. This has nothing to do with how good your vision is, but rather is a subconscious element existing just barely outside of your experiences. You see your mouse sitting where it is not because you choose to, but because your observer element has observed that version of reality.
When someone is able to gain control of the observer element is when solipsism falls apart and quantum mechanics gets really really interesting.
On a completely different note, though, I should probably point out one thing... if you get hit by a meteor, I doubt it's going to hurt.
But you forget the power of numbers. The moment government looks wrong enough to everyone is the moment government is gone. As long as people can be made to look like bad guys to the rest of the general public, the rest of the general public doesn't DO anything about the laws that make everyone a criminal. Thus, the very position of power which makes those lawmakers above the law is maintained by the public and the laws that make everyone a criminal.
Never underestimate the stupidity and laziness of society as a whole.
I think what he's trying to say is that it is regrettable that PC has now come to stand for "x86 core with general mishmash of components manufactured by different companies", as opposed to "Personal Computer" like it used to. IIRC, macs were actually the first PCs, so it does seem odd how the nomenclature turned out.
But then, of course, people would get confused if they used the term in a historically accurate fashion...
"Do you have a PC or a Mac?" "Neither. I run Windows on an x86 core..."
So basically, you're making a point that's irrelevant to the article.
This is news for people that work with the kernel or have issues that are directly related to a previous problem in the kernel. This isn't an Ubuntu advertisement. Get over it and move on to the next article, which likely is an Ubuntu advert.
Start your own ISP? And compete with the very people that are throttling competing businesses? That seems to make a lot of sense...
Tell me... how do you think a new competing ISP is going to get their word out without excessive investment in allowing traffic to their site?
So a customer of the incumbent, throttling ISP decides they're fed up and they want to move on. They hear by word of mouth that there's this littler place that supports equality, so they go to the website to check it out. The website takes 3.5 minutes to load. Will that customer switch?
You know what else is kinda funny? I didn't see anything in GPs post to indicate to me that he was a believer either, at least in the societally standardized sense.

I'm afraid you're incorrect. Real programmers use butterflies.
Republicans (Right Wing), and Democrats (Left Wing). Two wings of the same bird that's flying the wrong direction.
No, but I've heard Duke Nukem Forever works fairly well on it...

You just verified his quote... "BSD is for people who love UNIX; Linux is for people who hate Windows."
Right on. So I should start referring to them as Linux boces. Awesome.

The graphical install would have still worked if he had repartitioned. Still a bug, but not quite as ugly of one as TFA makes it seem.
Please mod insightful.
I got the impression GP was already referring to the founding fathers...

Oddly enough, Ryan Reynolds makes that movie worth watching. It needed some comic relief to bring it from the depths of shark-jumpage.
They're waiting for the Higgs Boson. Then they'll claim their evidence.

Yeah, except that Microsoft only sells SUVs.
You're obviously one of the lucky ones that doesn't have a Wal-Mart in town.

"God" is easier to spell.
