I happen to use Linux, OSX and Windows, and the number one annoyance for me is a lack of clear "native-looking" GUI or OpenGL toolkit offering that is reachable by scripting languages like Perl and Python.
I used PyOpenGL a few years ago and it was a very pleasant experience. It was easy to translate C examples to Python, without all the annoyances of using C. Obviously you wouldn't want to write a full game engine using Python, but it is nice for experimenting with OpenGL.
But what if GM manufactured parts that only lasted 3 weeks and also made it impossible to use parts made by anyone else?
Ignoring that this may be illegal, I see nothing wrong with it. It is the consumer's choice to buy a car for which replacement parts are limited. Why should GM have to cooperate with third party vendors?
were pretty much not doing anything but helping the manufacturers of $800 office chairs get rich
Those $800 office chairs are worth every penny. Everyone at my company has one (unless they prefer something else) and I'll never again work for a company that does not provide them. When you're spending 8+ hours a day sitting in a chair, you need a good one.
I was shocked that there was ONLY 23,000 Segway's out there.... And even at $6K a pop, that's really not enough money to keep a company like that afloat for too long.
I would recommend just hitting the company that owns the last server to forward the e-mail. If they can't provide/prove another source from which the e-mail came, hit them with the $10,000 fine. I would wager that companies would be awful quick to clamp down their SMTP servers and keep records of where everything came from. Not only would this increase a company's security but it would reduce much of the spam you see that has a legitimate address from a careless company.
This only hurts ISPs. Watch the way an e-mail hops from router to router, point to point, on the "information super highway". Your statement almost screams, "I do not understand networks or the internet." This is unreasonable and puts blame on providers because of the actions of their users.
His post was dead-on. It is you who does not understand how email works. Mail is not normally relayed. All relays need to be secure and correctly identify the sender.
OpenSolaris + ZFS + cheap storage = awesome file server... Coraid does have a Solaris driver, so this is definitely feasible.
Your post is misleading. ZFS is only available on Solaris 10. The only driver available from Coraid for Solaris 10 is in beta and it does not support x86.
If anything, the reason I think people hate it so much is precisely because it allows just any wanker to come in and crap out a solution without thinking about it.
No porn? It says a lot about their lack of business sense that they're deliberately blocking the content that has driven most of the technological innovation of our times.

Adult consumers providing M2Z with appropriate proof that they are of the age of majority, for example through the use of a credit card, can subscribe to a premium product.
"how does patent work internationally". LOL WHY DO U FUCKING CHINKHEADS HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH PLURALIZATION.
Mandarin (Chinese) doesn't have plurals or tenses. Conjugation is explicit (yesterday, later) rather an implicit (had, have). It also lacks declension (he / him) and most other inflections (gender, etc.).
The federal government needs to do this on a nationwide scale. The SSA should give a deadline, say one year, then publish all SSN data. SSN is not supposed to be used as an identifier, nor as a secret. Doing this will force organizations to change their procedures, thus hampering identity thefts and other security issues that result from treating a public, non-unique identifier as a secret.
The service is as you would expect. The big drawback right now is that there is no way to migrate existing Gmail accounts. I would love to use Gmail for my domain, but not at the cost of starting over with a fresh account.
FYI, some will do a copy followed by a remove if the args on different filesystems...
Correct, but only after removing the destination. Thus, you will still fail if you do not have write permissions to/dev, or you will succeed in replacing your null device.
No, you can't./bin/mv is going to perform a rename(2), which will fail with EXDEV if the source file is on a different file system from/dev, or fail with EACCES if you do not have write permissions to/dev, or succeed by replacing your null device (a character special file) with the source file.
If a couple hundred large companies put 100K (the amount they give the Chamber of Commerce for lobbying efforts) into a pot to use to make improvements to OpenOffice. That would be enough to make the changes in OpenOffice most beneficial to business.
Who would the money actually go to? Another software company or development group? Why would this group be able to do any better than Microsoft, who already has the best product available, along with experienced teams who have been developing it for over 15 years?
You can't say "they'll actually listen to their customers". Microsoft already does that. You can't say "it won't be as bloated as Office". The 80/20 myth disproves that. The only benefit is that the end result will be free. That doesn't mean a better product, nor does it mean a product with the features that businesses need now.

Why on earth would I want to duplicate my work? I've never done it in a corporate environment, I wouldn't think of doing it in a corporate environment
If you write code for company A, then move on to company B, you typically can't take the code with you.

Yeah, $138m isn't very much money.

You just described Visual Basic.
So who's a good, low-cost registrar with no relationship to GoDaddy?
http://www.domaincontender.com/
They are a rebranded directNIC (one of the top ten domain registrars).
Both of those are clearer when written using standard join syntax:
SELECT * FROM tblA CROSS JOIN tblB
SELECT * FROM tblA JOIN tblB USING (key)
Or if the column names are different:
SELECT * FROM tblA JOIN tblB ON (tblA.key = tblB.key)

No, you can't.
Quake 4 is in fact heavily copy protected. Admittedly it's not Starforce.
Nor is it id Software. Quake IV was made by Raven Soft.
