    I thought you will be driving your Imobile supported in part by road excusivity contracts, so you could only transit on supported roads (with expensive tolls), you would hack it to be able to go drive on another roads but it would be bricked the next time you fill the tank on the iGas station.

  8. Re:How are your nice morality-safe leather shoes? on White Dolphin Functionally Extict · · Score: 1
    Let's look at some hypothetical examples: 1: You, and many more like you (such as myself), consume goods and continue to consume these goods. Eventually this leads to the death of someone involved in the production process, be it by accident or negligence. 2: You murder someone.
    No, it's not like killing a man vs some farmer died cropping your food, it's more like killing someone with your bare hands versus paying someone to kill him. There's no difference at all, except that in the first one you got your hands dirty, but in both scenarios you were the direct cause of that murder. To bring food at your table you pay to the butcher to pay to the hunter (or the farmer or whatever) to kill your food. I'm not a vegie, i also pay to someone to kill my food, but i don't see a difference between that and killing it myself

  10. Re:Why can't I keep multiple versions of a library on Looking Forward, Ubuntu Linux 6.06 · · Score: 1

    Yes, you can have multiple versions of the same library at the same time.

    In Linux the libs are in the format of libname.so.number.

    Basically it's a problem of packagin, because the package libfoo.1.1.1 will always replace libfoo.1.2.1. The solution that the distros use is change the name of the package, for example in ubuntu you have glade and glade-2, so you can have both versions installed, the same goes with gstreamer, in my ubuntu machine i have installed gstreamer 0.8 and 0.10. This is used when the library brokes compability, so you can stay with your old version.

    So, your problem may be a bad package in Mandrake (obviusly i'm not sure).

  12. Re:ABRs of OSS on No WINE Before Its Time · · Score: 2, Informative

    From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Development_stage

    Alpha: The alpha version of a product still awaits full debugging or full implementation of all its functionality, but satisfies a majority of the requirements. It often lacks features promised in the final release, but demonstrates the feasibility and basic structure of the software

    Beta: A beta version or beta release usually represents the first feature complete version of a computer program or other product, likely to be unstable but useful for internal demonstrations and previews to select customers. Some developers refer to this stage as a preview, as a technical preview (TP) or as an early access. Often this stage begins when the developers announce a feature freeze on the product, indicating that no more features will be added to this version of the product and only software issues, or bugs, will be removed. Beta versions stand at an intermediate step in the full development cycle. Developers release them to a group of beta testers (sometimes the general public) for a user test. The testers report any bugs that they found and sometimes minor features they would like to see in the final version.

    Alpha does mean lack of quality and features, it does mean that it could change a lot.

    Beta doesn't mean that some code or binaries are released, that could apply to non open source software, but in OSS it's out of place. The beta stuff is about make something stabler, frozing the features, like a snapshot of the final release.

  17. Re:It just won't be the same! on Homer Becomes Omar · · Score: 1

    Not really.

    I'm a Mexican and i can assure you than almost everybody love the show.

    There are a few jokes that you cannot understand unless you speak english (like when homer was wanted to know the meaning of the "j" in his name, and resulted to be jay, that kind of joke cannot be translated to spanish), but that's not the rule, just the exception. There's something to be aware of, the Mexican culture is different from the USA one, but it's not too different, so, it's not too hard to understand the USA culture jokes

    And indeed, in my opionion, the mexican voice of homer is so much fun than the original
