Because the person I replied to talked about not hitting hard enough, and that's the hardest you can hit. There is no way you could get rid of all the Saddam-friendly people without pissing of a bunch of new people. The thing obviously goes on until you have to kill everybody. It would save a lot of time just killing everybody in the first place.
No, I don't believe you *try* to hurt innocent people, but I believe you're doing a crappy job avoiding it, and protecting them, as you're supposed to as the occupying force. There are already close to 8000 dead civilians because of the war, according to iraqbodycount.net. That's a lot of families with a potentially good reason to be angry.
The fact of the matter is, somebody hits you, you hit back. But you don't hit back tit-for-tat. You hit back so they say "Hmm... maybe I f*cked with the wrong person".
This is not how it works, as you are a very clear example of. If it was, Americans would realise that all the suicide bombers is a clear sign that no matter how hard you hit, they will come back, harder than last time. What is actually happen is that you are just pissing each other off, killing a bunch of innocent people on both sides in the process. Of course, you could nuke the entire mid east, but that would exclude you from the civilised world entirely, and some would probably survive, more pissed than ever. Sorry, but there is no easy Bush-solution to this. You need a president with a sense for diplomacy.
...even though it wasn't intended from the author. The FSF seems to do a very good job.
I am a bit worried that FSF could become another RIAA, though. Unless they have an agreement with all the author(s), which in the case of the Linux Kernel is not really possible, the money they win are not really theirs to take.
They could use it up faster by proessing the normal amount of food, or use it up at a slower rate with the calorie restricted diet.
Isn't the whole point of this article that it doesn't seem to work this way anyway? Once the flies are off the diet, it's as if they vere never on it in the first place, and would only live a normal lifespan. On the other hand, if they get on the diet late, they would get the same benefits as the ones who had been on it their whole life.
But I was to understand that discs made in DVD+RW (as opposed to DVD-R or DVD+R) format won't read in all DVD players and drives because the pits aren't as deep or some such?
1100 people making it the biggest in North America? That's pretty lame. Although not strictly a pure LAN party, the biggest in Norway (with 4,5 million inhabitants) is The Gathering, and this year the first 4300 tickets that were laid out for sale was sold out after eight hours.
And has anyone told them that they could actually help themselves by having local people translate OpenOffice.org
Actually, that is the only reason why MS has changed their mind about making a nynorsk-version. There is a project going at www.skolelinux.no (school-Linux), where they are making a complete Open Source package for schools. They have made a nynorsk translation of Open Office, which was/is about to get very popular, and replace the bokmål-version of MS Office.
Someone who actually understands that other causes, like shoplifting, cost the MPAA/RIAA more money than pirating.
I don't know how it is where you live, but here the shops have to buy the records before they can sell them. That means RIAA (and the artist) earns the same whether the record was bought or shoplifted.
Outlawing guns won't disarm criminals. They are criminals, and won't respect new laws any more than the ones we have now. Outlawing guns will only raise their price on the black market.
You are arguing against yourself. If the price goes up, it must be because there are fewer guns available, which means more criminals will not have guns.
I've never used RAID, so I don't know if it's what you need, but the package raidtools2 contains mkraid. It also contains a lot of Software-RAID.HOWTO-files, so I suppose you'd be on the right track.
"apt-cache search raid", or a search for raid in dselect would have found the file for you.
Return-Path: is forged too. If those users had the virus, it was just a coincidence. It was not them who sent it. I have often been in the Return-Path of Klez-viruses, and I use mutt under Linux.
Open search.ini, and make a search which has URL=http://%s Then you can just select the URL (from www...), select search with, and whatever you called it, and the URL will open. Here are a couple of bonus entries for searching perldoc and IMDB:
[Search Engine 10] Name=&IMDB URL=http://us.imdb.com/Find?selec t=Titles&for=%s Query= Key=i Is post=0 Has endseparator=0 Encoding=iso-8859-1 Search Type=7

If you don't want to replace Engine 10 and 14, you have to call them something else. Use "i insomnia" or "p date::calc" to search. This is what makes Opera *really* timesaving.
If you go to the Debian netinst-page (http://people.debian.org/~ieure/netinst/), and read the release notes, you'll see that if you select option 3 when you boot, you'll get the bf2.4 image. I did this myself, and it works. When you format the drive during install, you can select ext3.
As mentioned in the faq, you need a system that supports "ElTorito" to get this menu. Your options are to edit the CD-image so it boots from bf as default, download the floppies, or install 2.2 and upgrade. You don't need to compile the kernel, btw, you can just use dselect, and select one of the many precompiled 2.4 packages.
I have used various Redhat and Mandrake versions for the last 3 years, but recently switched to Debian, and have never looked back.
Why bother downloading 8 images when most of the stuff isn't going to be used?
Not only is it not going to be used, but it'll be outdated in a few days. My install only takes about 450 MB, but when I do apt-get update every couple of days, there will almost always be 10-15 updated packages. It's really impressive how well most of the Debian packages (that I use, at least) are maintained.
The problem is that any savings are just an illusion
As another person stated, I guess you don't need that 30% salary raise, then, because you'll just spend all the money you earn anyway.
people are more likely to post binaries in multiple formats
You mean you *think* they are. I've followed all the big binaries groups to check for just this, and on average there are way less than 20% reposts in uue/base64 from original yEnc posts, which means a net gain.
He can't be actually using binaries groups
on
Usenet Encoding: yEnc
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
What he's whining about is that it didn't fix every other problem in addition to overhead, and if anyone should actually bother making some huge new mime standard, now they won't have that carrot.
Obviously, if the rest of the problems were as big as he's trying to claim, yEnc would only be a minor setback for a new and more comprehensive standard, but the fact is that the 35-40% overhead of current standards is by far what's most annoying to usenet users. After we got PAR (parchive.sourceforge.net), reposts have been reduced drastically (except for pr0n and partly warez groups, where the dumb people with shitty servers rules).
Also, he's trying to say that because the increase in volume will outgrow the savings, there really is no savings. What kind of logic is that? Let's stop making processors faster, we'll just find bigger problems for them to be too slow for anyway, so what's the point?
After the introduction of PAR and yEnc, as a long time binaries downloader, I'll say the actual content of multimedia groups has more than doubled, and probably tripled, the last 6-9 months. That's progress to me.

In Soviet Sweden, EVERYONE has a PersonID#!
I don't think you will find many western countries where they don't use some variant of a unique personal ID.
I don't believe IP is valid
Are you consistent about this, meaning you think Microsoft can use whatever part of Linux they like, without giving out the source?
They could use it up faster by proessing the normal amount of food, or use it up at a slower rate with the calorie restricted diet.

I decided to just buy a 200 GB hard drive.
What will you do when it crashes?
Or rather 5520 Kbytes. I'll stop correcting now...
the 106 is a 4x writer (except for DVD-R/RW) which is around 6 _megabits_/second
It's 5520 M*Bytes*/s.
Don't know about you, but most of the data I back up is for MY computer, so I don't give a damn if nobody else can read it
As long as you make sure you can read them yourself. This burner won't be on the market forever, and the one you have will eventually break.
But I was to understand that discs made in DVD+RW (as opposed to DVD-R or DVD+R) format won't read in all DVD players and drives because the pits aren't as deep or some such?
dvdrhelp has lots of statistics.
In a lot of cases you can replace IFs by using subclasses and polymorphism.
So, we're pretty much back to self-modifying code again?

I hate the viewpoint that says pointing out things you are better at than others is akin to arrogance.
It doesn't matter whether you like it or not. It's one of the social rules you'll just have to deal with, or face the concequences.

They only learn of what files you have when they do a specific search for them.
.(mp3|avi) and similar.
Just remember to set the minimum searchstring lenght a bit high (4 chars or more), and ignore searches for
Open search.ini, and make a search which has
c t=Titles&for=%s
