Yah, and paying for food sucks too, but you gotta eat.
You have two choices: Go to the grocery store (Microsoft), or plant a garden (Linux, BSD, etc.).
I am not sure why it's such a bad thing for Microsoft to lock their software to a single computer. Of course, customers should be told this *up front* and they can decide.

Dude, if you're 2.4, I think that qualifies as a kernel.
Why would they need to track satellites with radio dishes that huge? Then I understood. Those dishes could pick up the faint signals from the satellite's computer bus. From those signals you could get all sorts of interesting information about the satellites.
This is just like reading your computer monitor at a distance from the electromagnetic signals given off.
Or how about the combinations of the intersections of the prime numbers 180?
Quick, somebody figure out what 6.02E23 mod 180 is and let's have a party where it intersects the prime meridian.
We could do it Dungeons and Dragons style: anyone have a 180 sided die? The dungeon master will allow you to reroll anything that's in the ocean, unless you have a yacht.
My computer programming teacher had a program (can't remember what it was) that was on a disk that had some kind of copy protection on it. The standard TRS-80 disk copy command wouldn't work on that disk, and neither would copying the files straight either.
The teacher told me that he'd like to see if I could copy the disk for him. He didn't promise anything, not even extra credit. The TRS-80 had a couple utilities to convert Model III format disks to and from Model I format disks. Breaking the protection was easy: convert it to a Model I disk, and then convert it back to Model III. After that, the normal operating system commands could copy the disk without problems.
I did that in the year 1984, and it earned me a nice compliment from the teacher. If I had done that today, I'd have been arrested.

First they came for the Nazis, and I didn't speak up because I don't like Nazis.
Then they came for the Klan, and I didn't speak up because I really hate the Klan.
Then they came for the record companies, and I didn't speak up because I hate them too.
Then they came for Microsoft, and I didn't speak up because I hate Microsoft.
Then they came for me, and nobody spoke up because the culture that hates everything in the name of keeping society safe found something about me that they didn't like.
Let's just count time in jiffies using an unsigned long. The calendar will rollover every 497 days. At the point of rollover, we'll just reboot all our Linux boxen and celebrate our "new year" with some beers while the machine boots.
You can't identify a police state by counting the number of cameras owned by the state. The way to identify a police state is to count the number of cameras owned by the citizens. In police states, only the police have cameras.
Who are the people who get in trouble with cameras? Ordinary Joe? Why would we care? The people who get in trouble with cameras are politicians and police. Would the people who beat up Rodney King have been convicted without a citizen's video tape evidence?
I'd say maturity takes practice. If someone never argues, I'd expect them to defend their ideas poorly, and have a rather disappointing experience.
To be a really good debater, you've got to absolutely demolish your opponents argument, while remembering that you also want to go get a beer with them after you are done.
Wheat is a hexaploid plant, meaning 6 duplicated sets of each chromosome. It is thought that all wheat is descended from three individuals about 10 years ago. By multiplying chromosome sets new species can arise extremely quickly in plants.
But he's not widely credited as the inventor because his implementation relied on punch cards. Not everyone was able to punch out their e-mail properly.
who can't appreciate a good argument. Whether it's Aunt Sally at Thanksgiving who insists on all conversation being abolutely sterile because she has high blood pressure, or Uncle Bob who gets out the shotgun because somebody mentioned the word "politics", somebody has to shut down a good fight.
Some people LIKE to argue, and some people can actually do it heatedly and stay friends after the argument.
There is NOTHING WRONG with a Republican and a Democrat arguing about who's right at the family reunion. If you are one of those who doesn't like a good fight, don't spoil the fun of others.
Now that I've said that, let me wrap up by saying Perl SUCKS!
Obviously *you* are the one who still doesn't get it. I you get a topic that I am interested in, then I'll give you a serious argument. On this particular topic, YHBT.
1) It's just a friggin list. Individuals choose to block the IP's on the list.
2) Listing the website IP and blocking mail from that IP doesn't prevent anyone from seeing the Peacefire webpage, does it? No.
The article was damn confusing, claiming that the Marketing Master's website cannot be seen by RBL subscribers. I thought the RBL was supposed to block the MAIL, not the WEBSITE.

OK thanks, I didn't know that.
If you follow the third link I provided, you will see that the one and only turbine car every to race at Indy was KILLING the competition.
After that one year with a single turbine car, they were banned from the race.
Turbines would easily win Indy because they are much smaller than a reciprocating engine and they deliver a LOT more power.
And, FYI, Indy cars are raced on an Oval. Perhaps you are thinking of Formula One?
Turbines aren't ideally suited to stop and go traffic, but in an Indy car they would be excellent.

Well, I meant 10 THOUSAND years ago, not 10 years. I remember eating bread sometime before 1990 on more than one occasion.
Wheat is a hexaploid plant, meaning 6 duplicated sets of each chromosome. It is thought that all wheat is descended from three individuals about 10 years ago. By multiplying chromosome sets new species can arise extremely quickly in plants.
So, that's why wheat has a lot of genes.
Sadly, it seems that the very *definition* of Ukraine is "the country that bears the brunt of disaster."

Actually, it was a joke. An irony of sorts. Really it was more of a sarchasm than an irony, but you get the idea. Or, maybe you didn't.
So, do I really think Perl sucks? Probably not.
