You know, the ones that tend to be the DMs, the ones who tend to have their houses open for gaming sessions?
When WotC was running their own forums, old gaming worlds that people kept converting to newer versions of D&D had their own forums, where people actively traded in ideas related to their respective game worlds (Dark Sun, Dragonlance, Planescape, Ravenloft, SpellJammer, Mystara/Known World), but Gleemax decided that if a forum's front page didn't refresh every day, that it didn't meet its advertising quota, so it should be merged with another forum.
What did the hard core gamers get when they hoped to do fourth edition conversions of their favorite campaigns (ensuring new 4E sales)? They got the DarkDragonPlaneLoftJammerWorld forum, and the only way to get a forum of their own was to out-post the other worlds in the forum. Gleemax was the Joker, the forum was the pool cue, and try-outs had started (to make allusions to a currently popular movie).
Only, the gamers didn't play. They left for The Piazza. I play GURPS now.
The point is that when "Manager Jim" is hiring one of the (presumably exonerated via the courts) accused three years from now, the only search results will be raving web log loonies, and only in archive.org, not in "reputable" news sites' archives.
99.999% of functions should be accessible from a GUI. Period. End. Of. Story.
Seriously? So when you're needing to do X, Y, or Z, that takes five programs and pipes data from one program to the other, do you put one GUI window on top of another one so that it can act as a filter, and then another filter on top of that ad nauseum? Even on MS Windows or MacOSX machines, my first action whenever I want to do any real admin work is to open up a command prompt.
GUIs are like rebuses; they're fun to use, and sometimes can be used by people who can't read, but when you want to get a complex idea across, text is sooooo much better.
there was the story where David saw a woman bathing, found out who her husband was, and arranged for him to die.
It's a little worse than that. He had his guards bring her to the palace, had his way with her, she became pregnant, and he brought her husband back from the war and told him to relax for a job well done and sleep with his wife (so he'd think the child was his), then had him killed when the man refused to sleep with his wife (to remain an effective soldier).
Indeed, I spent six years in a Solaris environment where csh and tcsh were the norm, and I only used sh in the third year there. Bash didn't get used until I spent more time in a purely linux environment.
Why have more wealth and power if one controls the world?
To keep others from controlling the world, or just because they've gotten into the habit of consuming, like a bloated tick. If one is sociopathic enough to get to the world-throne, then one might be willing to keep everyone on Earth (an "If I can't control it all, I'd rather it all end with a meteor strike!" mentality). Not all Evil Sci-Fi Dictators want a galaxy spanning empire like the Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40K or Xenu.
Which is why you consume differing sources of media. If a news show or written article says something factual or editorial that you've heard from another source, switch to another source, until there's a difference. The problem with this is that it forces people to think, and people (sometimes even smart people) don't want to think.
It's not repeatable; it's not science, it's history. Same thing with archeology and anthropology. They may use sciencey type stuff to reach their conclusions, but at the end of the day, the only repeatable step is "State Hypothesis".
Most red-staters really are "leave me alone and keep government small". The politicians frequently say "you should be forced to live like I do" because that's the way many people who seek political power think.
Politicians from a red state =/= red-staters. When there's a choice between "you should be forced to live like I do; like a blue stater" and "you should be forced to live like I do; like a red stater" the red staters hold their nose and vote for the latter. The word is slowly getting out that there are still a couple "leave me alone and keep government small" politicians, but we've not seen one for a while, so we're skittish.
If a user can't figure out the difference between a left and right click, they're either OS agnostic, and won't care, or they're Mac users, and will complain no matter what the company buys them, even if it's Apple.

They exist, and they have green skin.

We are just going to re-direct all traffic through New York using BGP and sniff cookies that way
Wow, does it really smell like cookies?
A guy pretending to be a cop is probably more dangerous than random Joe citizen. I like knowing when a cert can't be validated.
I'll tell you what it's not for, then you'll understand why I can never go back to Seaworld.
Maybe he's a "morhole"
I call it a Hawking-hole.

And I don't care what you say. Music looked better in the 60's. Colors tasted brighter and spicier too. The 70's were such a let down.
I don't see why not, it's all in the LISP family.

Power corrupts.
So, the ISO needs to allocate a defense budget now. Excellent; let's hope they use Excel to crunch the numbers.
Don't forget to use the screensaver auto-spin demo plugin. Zooms in and out, auto-spins back and forth. Great for demos.
Technically, it's Eight emails; but some of them were from /. to the AOL user.

I thought it was Wormhole X-Treme!

Is there proof that it was a windows machine? Maybe it was a Red Flag Linux install with the BSOD screen saver.
I wouldn't be surprised if alot of enterprises are installing this distro now, based on its community. Yet still: why Ubuntu? [...] The color scheme?
Baby poop brown is so non-fun that it must be a serious business application.
