I am somewhat dubious, but this/could/ mean that I may finally be able to convince my workplace to adopt more linux workstations. I for one will work on samba if the allusions made by the summary are true. I say this because, all other issues aside, Windows interoperability really is an issue where I work.
Well, no offence, but Santa's sleigh is a pretty high tech piece of equipment; do you really think he heads off to deliver presents to all the children in the world in one night without testing throughout the year? Yep, didn't think so...
Couldn't have said it better myself. I was hoping that the article was a scientific analysis, but I don't care about "guilds" or MySpace. If the article had substance it would be useful. From a corporate point of view being able to predict the things that the summary alludes to would be important (not that I care too much for corporations, but it interests me). The inverse would be where there is growth and, again, if TFA had substance, this could have been explored if there was any real statistical substance in the "study".
I actually think you're the redhat newbie and not the parent. RedHat in recent (3-4 years?) has been very stable. All the stuff gets seriously stress-tested on Fedora first, so by the time it makes it into a stable RedHat, things are stable--i.e. the packages don't "suck". Additionally, because things are "tested" on Fedora first you get this kind of intrinsic QA for things making it into RedHat stable. Next time you decide to squeeze milk through your sinuses, at least do it for something funnier;-)
Discovering ants had taken up residence in his external hard drive, a photographer in Thailand took the cover off his computer and sprayed the interior with insect repellent.
He took the cover off his computer to control an infestation in his external hard drive? No wonder he stuffed up
Political spam *IS* trying to sell a product. They are trying to buy your vote. I know this is a little pedantic, but they are selling themselves and, therefore, qualify as spam.
While I do not debate the merit of this project, I am unsure of its "ability to help us recover from disaster". What I mean is that, sure we can propagate seeds, but assembling them into whole functioning ecosystems that are the same as (or even resemble) is beyond our knowledge. I can't see this changing anytime soon either. Additionally, how are we going to restore the soil microbes and fungi?
Urtica, a prominent genus of the stinging nettle has been used medicinally. I don't know about the asthma link, but nettle tea is an astringent used as a wash (externally) or as a method to mitigate bleeding (taken internally). It is known that the plants bind immunoglobin G and, therefore, reduce sensitivity to food allergies (and possibly asthma).
The formic acid mentioned by the GP is destroyed by boiling. The leaves are high in vitamins and minerals (A, C, D, calcium, phosphorous, iron, silica and others).
Sorry I didn't answer your question, but it is a useful plant nonetheless... actually all genera in the family are useful in similar ways. I'd like also to know about a link to a credible source that indicates that the plants are useful as an asthma curative.
You can actually eat the stinging nettle; boiling the leaves in water "decomposes" all those pesky hyperdermic needles that inject you with the histamines and other substances. I wonder how the technology begin developed by HP holds up under extreme heat conditions... probably better than the nettle.
gobbling up every remaining scrap of a computer's memory
Sure, firefox sometimes uses more RAM than expected... but "gobbling up" all available RAM? FUD
Statistics are hard to come by, but our own experiences with the browser include crashes, memory hogging, molasses-slow page loads and the spinning beach ball of death.
Ok... so they're guessing now. If statistics are hard to come by then what on Earth is the rant about? Unsubstantiated nonsense. Molasses-slow page loads? I'd like to add my own subjective assertion here... The pages load just as quick as in IE. There, I said it... My own assertion sounds hollow, why should I regard Wired's comment with any more authority?
Oh, and the dreaded extensions. Once you install 524 extensions, firefox crawls to a standstill. How insightful. And, as a bonus the 12-million extensions use up heaps of RAM--who coulda guessed.
I like reading results of surveys such as this. However, I always find myself comparing the results to how I would answer. I am a developer, so results like these are invaluable... they highlight that not everyone (not even the majority) of users think/perceive differently to me. It's a great wakeup call.
Probably not long. I have 140GB of photo's and I cannot 'waste' space on mp3s etc. I regularly use online radio content to listen to my music; often the same songs. It means that I store (perhaps) a cached copy and that's it. Why download hundreds of mp3s when I can listen to the same music streaming from the internet?
Most of us are christians? What a funny thing to say. I'd have to agree that most Americans are christians (there are studies). However, for you to assert that "most of us are christians" leads me to think you're myopic.
Yep, you're right. Which is why I said: "researching somebody elses solution and then implementing a solution that is the same solution that you researched..." Same solution means it's not better (nor worse) than the original. However, I do agree that implementing a superior solution as the result of research is a good thing.

The summary cleverly shifts the subject to Microsoft is Evil, steering away from the real issue of software patents. Nice troll

Thismay be a good place to start reading... I cannot guess what their funding is, but I'd say it's "not too bad" (guessing)
Everybody knows it was Santa crash landing

QG, If the charities sent me email without my consent, then yeah... I would qualify that as spam

could change the if to "if (r == 0)". Also, the checks before the free's are redundant...
Or, possibly:
/* do stuff */
int allocstuff (void)
{
char *a, *b, *c;
int r;
a = b = c = NULL;
a = malloc (100);
b = malloc (100);
c = malloc (100);
r = a && b && c ? 0 : -1;
if (a && b && c)
{
}
if (a) free (a);
if (b) free (b);
if (c) free (c);
return r;
}

"Spelled" is perfectly acceptable. Go read the Oxford Dictionary... If you're going to correct somebody, at least make sure you're correct yourself.
