Dammit these people in power in America piss me off. STOP USING THE TERM 'CZAR', 'TSAR', whatever! STOP STOP STOP.
I can't wait until a President is ready to march to Congress and appoint Der Fuehrer of Alternative Energy, which would prove that they have no clue what these titles mean to people around the world as well as citizens in our own country. I doubt Obama would appoint an Imperial Wizard of Credit Debt or Grand Dragon of Diversity Awareness.
The term 'Czar' relates to a despicable history of oppression and murder. The term itself comes from Caesar, not exactly a bright point in Europe's history. There are better terms, and we as a Democratic people are more creative than this.
No one was more anti-communism than the Russian Royalty. They weren't as successful as the U.S. in their dealings with communists, but I'll bet they hated them more.
They can have my three-ply, quilted softness when they pull it out of my unwashed, dead hands!
Seriously, TP is one of the few things I don't cheap-out on.
Who cares about Americans ? Douglas Adams was English. Obviously you got lost on a UK-centric thread...

Oh, wait, that's a place-holder. Looks like you can buy it and make your own british version of/. if you want to be belligerently xenophobic when someone is trying to explain another person's comment.

Quote from the article;
"Amazingly, right now Chihuahuas are still considered C. lupus familiaris, a subspecies of wolf. And calling a Chihuahua a wolf is like calling someone at the Discovery Institute a scientist."
I can't speak to the Discovery Institute point directly; but without a doubt, small dogs can be as aggressive as a wolf. We own a 10 pound poodle and my daughter and SIL have a 7 pounder. DO NOT get on the wrong side of either. They may not take as big a bite, but it still hurts.
And the author of the article is wrong in his analogy: calling a Chihuahua a wolf is like calling someone at the Discovery Institute and a scientist both humans. And they are; they might not want to mate with one another, but it can still happen.
since 1776 and there is a post on Memorial Day about a fucking holiday celebrating the fucking towel?
While vulgar, Parent is not a Troll. It is a comment (likely, but not necessarily, from a veteran) about this being an actual national holiday to honor our fallen military.
I know, I was trying to say that maybe the MS/Oracle thing was a similar case, but they just assumed they'd get enough randomness without telling people (maybe their devs and testers were always fidgety from the mountain dews).
The extra 60% pays for the in-store coffee bar that only sells ten cups a day, but makes fifteen pots. The best part about those bars: they're only a minor draw, and the people buying coffee rarely buy the books they read there.
Or at least take out the drive and scan it as an external drive in a known-good computer. Kaspersky's recommendation of using a scanner on the local OS is silly.
I'll give you a Useless Use of Cat award for that.
Heh. I was originally going to echo my original, then got the idea to think of my Parent as a file. Didn't edit the original line enough. Oopsie.
Of course, maybe I could get another award...
cat Parent | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat | cat |... LAMENESS... | cat | cat | cat | cat | sed -i -e 's/except/accept/'
Properly coded, the cluster could do some tasks considerably faster. It would be nice if the power plugs were made in such a way to allow them to be stackable or at least fit more than three on a 8-plug power strip/small UPS.
Yes, I too much prefer having my partitions mounted as/media/disk#, rather than easy to type single letters.:P
I actually prefer/mnt/disk# for removable media (force of old habit), but having disk #1 mount with/,/boot/,/usr/,/usr/local/,/var/,/tmp/,/etc/, etc., and #2 mounted as/home/,/var/www/, disk #3 being/usr/local/oops_needed_more_space4_usr_local_and_im_too_lazy2_replace_original_mountpoint/ is kind of useful.
I would say the analogy would go more like:
She went to the filing cabinet, decided she needed more space and started removing the drawers (windows core files). Without the drawers, there certainly is a little more space, but it ceases to function as a filing cabinet.
I'm imagining 4,000-600,000 years from now. Sex may be fun, but when you're immortal, you've got to think of some things you won't get bored of. Doing the impossible/improbable is something I'd focus on (hence the saltpeter pills to keep the urge for hot green alien nymphomaniac bikini chicks to a minimum).

See, Obama's proving he's not a communist.

Edited your post to make it more ironical-like.

No, I expect he'll hire someone with actual internet experience, like a "private investigator" from MediaSentry.

I think it's more likely you'd end up with a dead roommate and a drunk, well-fed chimp.
Because they can use them, and they're desperate enough to. http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1244451&cid=28082471

Feature. Not a bug.

Audio CDs have a secret history of screwing up things, and I'm not just talking about Sony audio CDs.
IIRC, a few GNU encryption programs do the same thing while collecting entropy, and yell at you if you don't wiggle enough.

I refuse to accept wampum as a currency.
If traveling to the 1980's, I'd gladly except in-box, never opened Wampas.

Why does this only effect Debian?
Damnit, it's affect.
Not if the openSSH flaw were causing Debian to exist. Then it would be effecting Debian.
