Now, don't be picking on Teddy. He's all they had after the other three kids got wasted, ya know. And that isn't even counting Rosemary Kennedy, because she was lobotomized as punishment for being female.
Librarians actively work on finding excuses they can use to send archives of paper records to the shredder. Google facilitates this. Then Google 'changes their mind' about their goals.
But all the paper is already pulped, so the problem is 'solved' for the librarians.
Trains roll by the tracks on my land 3 or 4 times a day.
People don't like to ride Trains, so they don't. We don't (yet) have bureaucrats powerful enough to force people out of their cars. It's being worked on, of course.
When I was in High School, 300 baud WAS the fast connection. We had a CRT terminal, a Silent 700, and two ASR-33 teletypes. There was constant competition for the CRT and Silent 700, which were 300 baud. And the Silent 700 was a printing terminal that used expensive thermal paper ("ten cents a foot" the math teacher in charge of the lab used to yell at people.) We plugged along for the most part on the teletypes at 110 baud.
Compuserve in the 80's was even better. The only people sitting on it were people with corporate paid accounts. The rest of us couldn't afford it. I remember the connect time being half price, at about $8 an hour, if you logged on through the 'old' modem pool, which ran 300 baud instead of the 'fast' 1200/2400 baud dialup connection.
It was "log in, grab whatever you needed, get the hell offline asap."
Are you talking about the same book by Orwell that the rest of us are? In Orwell's book, the Ministry of Truth CERTAINLY provided citations. I mean, come on. That was part of Winston Smith's job, to produce citations for them to cite.
The whole notion of a 'final authority' that sifts around and determines the absolute Truth is what Orwell's book was about, and it's what this kind of stuff is about. It's about Authoritah.
When you bought the device, did you check to make sure it worked with v4l?
I didn't have to.
When you bought the device, did you check to make sure all features worked with CUPS?
I didn't need to.
What problems did you run into when using Audacity?
It didn't exist with the features I needed when my need existed, and now I have something else that works. And Audacity still doesn't have all the features I wanted.
Listen, I engaged in the 'jihad' of running Linux exclusively at home for several years in the late 90's. I know that you have to put real effort into checking for compatibility and choose your hardware from a short(ened) list of supported hardware if you want to use Linux. That was my point, which you've done a pretty good job of reinforcing with your response.
An American lady in front of me looked at the customs officer and in reply to his "Pardon Mevrouw, waar komt uw vlucht vandaan?" she barked an irritated "I don't speak German".
He smiled, inclined his head and replied "That's alright, madam. Neither do I."
Being an American, she should have replied "You're Welcome"
The porno bookstore can sell candy bars in addition to the porn. They can even sell newspapers and regular magazines in addition to the porn. That doesn't make the candy bars and newspapers porn.
Years ago, I made a long trip to the other side of town to sell my old Programmable Calculator. I had gotten a new one and put an ad to sell the old one in the campus newspaper. I got a call from some guy who said he was interested in it, so we met at a McDonalds.
Lo and behold, he brought along a few of his fratboy thug buddies, because what he was REALLY trying to do was get back his Programmable Calculator which someone had recently stolen. He assumed he and his thug buddies would be 'recovering' it. What a fucking asshole.
Just a thought though - maybe if bin Laden's wives didn't have to be covered head to toe, he wouldn't need a stash to get off.
One's wives are not covered head-to-toe when in the home. The whole point in the mystique that is created is that it is revealed to the One who the woman belongs to.
Either your comment was a throw-away line you don't believe, or you're really really clueless.
It's almost like we have become the same as the millions in the 'Arab Street' who gloated when thousands of innocent people were killed on 11 September.
He didn't have hundreds of sneakernet couriers. He had one trusted courier. At least that's what I have heard. Maybe there were several. Definitely not hundreds. His having a large number of couriers would mean his location was well known, which we know he did not want.
We had a visit at our local LUG from the top people at Red Hat back in about 1997. After the presentation we could ask them questions. I asked one of the executives (a woman from marketing, I think) if I could make copies of my Red Hat 4.3 CD-ROM to share with my friends. I got a rather dirty look in response.

So you want Superman to swoop down and impose 'Truth, justice, and the American Way' it seems.
How isn't that you just manifesting a variant of American Exceptional-ism.

I think you mean 'Brussels is where the occupying force of bureaucrats presently infesting many of the nations of Europe is centered.'
How about Brussels to Switzerland?
A city to a whole country?
That's like saying 'A trip from Tuscon to Texas.'
WHERE in Texas?
Please don't harp on other people about the way they butcher language, and then use 'u' as a word. This isn't your little chatspeak den here.

You are the one not making sense.

Only polar bears? What have you been doing to keep the grizzly bears out there from tipping over your trash cans?

Sit on that and spin, dude-at-lit-table-in-student-center.
In that case, why would you want to be logged in from said untrusted computer in the first place?
Based on my experience with Facebook, the two factors are a browser cookie and a mouse click.
Stockholm Syndrome.
Many victims of Zynga suffer severely for it, and Facebook is all about it.
Google is trying to be the exception in that regard
Not really. People here don't often acknowledge it, but 'Don't Be Evil' is a pretty low hurdle to clear.
