But you really think you can do anything with your guns against government tanks, drones, planes, missles,... Don't be silly. You can't.
It's simple. You just need tighter regulation. Force gun owners to register and pass safety exams and phych evaluation. Most should pass just fine. But no, somehow, liberty for you means every nutcase can get AR-15.
If censorship is hard to pull over there, why are cursewords forbidden on tv? Or nudity?
If you dress up like nazi, you won't be imprisoned in most of europe. Germany went a bit far, but they had their reasons:). If you dress as KKK, what will happen in usa? Can you guarantee you will be free to spread "white power" statements? I kind of doubt it. You pepper sprayed students just sitting in park peacefully protesting.
Personally I don't see why hatespeech should be legal, since I don't see how that is limiting our freedom of speech in any meaningful way? What is so great to have absolute freedom of speech, when making it absolute just legalises lying and you are free to character assasinate anybody. And his ability to fight is none, if he does not have the resources. And then, when company does it, you get Foxnews. And then you have 50% of population beliving creationism.
Can you give a specific example of how free speech is limited in europe? Cause i'm from east block and never saw anyone get in any trouble, unless they were making shit up. You can freely express your opinion, you can even say prime prime minister stole money and nothing will happen to you.
Free speech is special for you in USA somehow. Like freedom. You are so proud of it you fail to realise it is something very common.

Oh, so that is free speech limitation? Let me remind you that it is your country that beeps curse words on tv. Which seems kind of retarded, but hey, you are free speech lovers. You must have your reasons.:)
Exactly. Last sentence in WSJ article says: If he is not charged or is acquitted of whatever charges may be made, that may well lead to the adoption of new and dangerously restrictive legislation.
The way I understand ths: You live in a free speech state, but if you actually practice free speech, we will hit you with restrictive legislation. Therefor,e with practicing free speech, you are being responsible for it's destruction. So in god's name, don't do it if you want to live in free speech society.
RHEL 5.3 to 5.4 is just artificial patch release. Kind of like service packs with windows.
It is trivial to update, when all the programs stay at the same version and config files stay the same.
We shall see how easy it will be going from 5.x to 6.x, for this won't be update like 5.x to 5.x+1, but upgrade.
CentOS actually helps RedHat. RedHat cannot really afford to have low cost or no cost alternative, or it would seriously damage his high margin support contracts. Aslo, those that do now want to pay for RedHat would have a lot to choose from even with absense of CentOS. And for RedHat, it's better those who want free go with CentOS then say Debian. But, with Centos, their platform expands massively so more ISV's support it, students and admin's are willing to learn RedHat (via CentOS), and their developer base also grows.
People modding you insighful shows lack of understanding. Preventing monopoly abuse is anti-capitalism? It seems to me USA with it's monopoly abuse protection (they do nothing about it) is becomming communist in a sense. It's not government based, but still government approved and result is the same.
Well, first years it also took them to migrate to Openoffice, Thunderbird, Firefox. And train users on this new environment. This phase was done 1 year ago and now they entered the final stage, OS change.
Smart decision. I stopped here:
This switch is easy because not only is OpenOffice.org superior software in every respect, it's also feature-compatible with Microsoft Office
How can you compare silverlight to amarok? You don't need amarok to play your music, but you need windows to see silverlight website.
And yes, it's MS fault you can't. It's good for them.
Yes, ffs, how can they put pop music under rock.
But seriously, it's so much stuff missing it's useless unless. Searching dissection gives me some black rappers (or at least that is what they look like), Cactus search retunrs some gay looking guys and Uriah Heep returns nothing - which is good considering previous hits.
Useless, if you dont' listen to Kelly Family.
I knew it was expanding, but I had no idea that is is so fast.

Is Gentoo in crisis?

I really doubt it is broken. You just need to search forum for a minute and two and you will find solution. Aslo, compiler usually says what is the problem.
I am a Gentoo user and I love portage. Not becasue you can use speed optimizations. Far from it. You don't even have stage1 supported, I guess cause everybody figured out it's just not worth it.
What is so great about Portage is flexibility. You only install things you need. You don't include for example curl support if you do not need it. If later on you need it, you just add one flag and sistem knows what packages to recompile.
Next, you do not need whole kde. You can install only packets you need. Goodbye all the packages I don't need. Again, if I want it, I simply add it.
Occasionally I see Suse and Kubuntu and to me they are bloated. I like them, they are great for avarage users, but I prefer Gentoo. For me, it's best GNU/Linux has to offer (for experienced desktop user or for users that have admin who takes care of their system).

All fine, but where do you get your energy from? Might be a bit far for solar...
Good luck changing orbit to reach that ballistic projectile.

it's not - we know it's 13.8 billion years old.
Is being responsible for Windows is a good thing now?

I knew it. Only in totally free research environment that MS is practicing can you produce such groundbreaking advancements as Clippy.

Not really, it's why GPL is said to be viral.

It was EPIC failure itself, but still managed to kill Aplha and PA-RISC only with fear.
