> In Criminal cases, the jury is the sole arbiter of the facts and law.
I'm not sure where you get that from: I've been on a jury in a criminal case, and the instructions were quite clear that the jury is solely to decide on the facts.
You do realize that all-white juries used to do quite a bit of "nullification" of their own, right?
mod_fcgid > mod_fastcgi. However, mod_fcgid doesn't compile on older apache versions (I'm looking at you, Redhat EL). And of course, lighttpd's fastcgi just works without fussing.
I think it was Open Market Inc's licensing that kept it out of Apache mainstream. Even though the company doesn't even exist any longer, the code still has the license problems. mod_fcgid is supposedly a reimplementation, but might have been based off the old code, and the developers haven't wanted to bother with putting it into Apache either.
> That said, is swapping out your NetWare servers with "Nu-NetWare" running on top of a Linux kernel really less risky than just switching to Linux
Lemme think for a momen--yes.
Seriously. They've even kept it binary compatible with NLMs. The same apps run. This is not your home network of three gentoo boxes you're talking about.
> I still remember being all excited about Biosphere 2 when I was a kid, and it turned out to be a colossal failure.
A failure as a colony or a failure as an experiment? I'd say they collected plenty of specific data on what went wrong, and by extension, what's wrong with current designs for closed habitats.
I dunno, if there's anyone more grubbing, venial, haughty and arrogant than Ballmer or Gates, it's Larry Ellison. He might decide to temporarily make nice with Microsoft if it would hurt Redhat, just because it would make him feel good to put them all out of work.
(Unbreakable Linux exists solely to undercut Redhat's support revenue -- the initial release didn't even bother replacing the redhat graphics with anything else, it just left them broken)
> I mean, it seems like a couple of 12 year olds could write a good civ 2 clone in visual basic.
That would be FreeCiv. Or at least the look of it -- I understand FreeCiv's AI is pretty good though. There's good tile sets, but it really is a thin and peeling coat of paint over a total lack of polish. I may as well be playing xconq.
And Nimoy's voice on Civ4 sounded like he phoned it in. I much prefer the voice-over work of Alpha Centauri. Some of the play mechanics from Call to Power would be nice to appropriate in a future Civ game too, like the civil engineering pool. Moving around armies of engineer units is a tedious mechanic that deserved to die.
What's wrong with Morrison and Foerster? They're one of the more prestigious law firms in the country, and they're currently tearing SCO a new one on Novell's behalf. Seeing how aggressively they operate, and how differently from IBM's lawyers (Cravath grinds you slowly into the dust, MoFo goes straight for the jugular), they are damn sure earning that name... rather unlike the milquetoast corporate clusterfuck that MozFound is turning into.
So yeah, perhaps the leadership of Mozilla doesn't deserve the name. For different reasons.
You're welcome -- if you wish to place yourself in the population I'm referring to, then I won't stop you. You obviously haven't been in that industry for a while if you think that you represent the norm.
Having seen the typical quality of PL/SQL procedures written by database code-grinders on the cheap, replete with twisted logic and redundant queries and storage of huge resultsets in variables, I would MUCH rather trust Hibernate's caching and consistency algorithms. These people "understand the schema" about as well as they understand fluid dynamics, neurosurgery, or basic English writing and composition.
The Eee has an impressively big-looking screen. Most of it is a black border, and the actual resolution is something like a cell phone. Personally, I don't think it will ever even ship.
Certainly, bringing out that quote would seem only to support Darl. The big problem is that Darl kept talking, about "wholesale theft" and "millions of lines of code", and that as a successor-in-interest to apparently ALL things AT&T, how they'd be going after C++ next -- no kidding, he actually said so. That's the kind of hubris that has us all rubbing his comeuppance in his face.
Basically, he kept lying and his lies got more and more grandiose. Timed in fact quite well to his very sizeable scheduled sales of SCO stock. And it's not just the "nerd rage" afflicted making the implicit claim here -- Redhat's complaint (which hasn't even been heard yet; they're literally lining up to take a chunk out of SCO) actually used the words "pump and dump scheme".
That's a pretty easy way to deal with the inconvenient truth of the matter: thumbs in your ears, "la la la la, I can't hear you", never even considering the evidence.
Evidence, eh? I call it "selection and confirmation bias". The conspiracy nuts raise it to an art form.
A massive enough degree of incompetence does become a sort of conspiracy, but doesn't require the sort of moustache-twiddling robber-baron villians that you apparently need, just in order to assert your superior inside knowledge of "what's really going on". In other words, you ain't really helpin', son.
Prozac was originally an anti-inflammatory drug. Friend of mine actually got it prescribed for his back pain. It probably helped that he really needed a antidepressant anyway.

I think that this got an "informative" mod is the funniest in-joke I've seen in ages. You never read the words "karma whore" these days, so much as see it in all its glory. Bravo:)
Don't schools transfer in a whole new load of kids every year anyway? Anyone who wants to be a teacher has to get used to the idea of fighting the same battles year after year.
Let me guess, it's a massive conspiracy to create an army of unthinking worker drones that will march in lockstep to the drumbeat of some hidden political puppet masters? Or something like that?

Actually, that's "guerilla" tactics. Then again, we are talking about Ballmer.

The editors don't need to fix the blurb, given that Public Citizen points out the same thing.

It's not priced significantly higher than other X38 motherboards.

That would be an X38, Einstein.

Idle speculation like vague allegations of an astroturfing conspiracy? Maybe moderators would just like the rabid fanbois to grow the hell up.

Sounds like you've distilled the standard slashdot response to any Vista article.
Of course as soon as Linux copies the feature, then it's a great idea.
