Right. Who needs the password under the keyboard. If I'm at the keyboard with a Knoppix disk, I'm in. This is actually a great way to recover data when somebody leaves the company and doesn't pass on knowledge of a computer's usernames/passwords. Get anything valuable off the drive, and reformat.
The link for browsers with pop-up blockers does not affect my pop-up blocking Firefox (and a window pops open saying that I have no pop-up blocking), but the other link does indeed spoof the window. I'm not worried about the problem though, because I don't engage in such unsecure behaviour. An easy fix would be for Firefox to allow us to selectively allow java/javascript on a per-site basis (just like pop-ups and ads (with adblock)).
What planet do you live on where they don't? Guns are not a gender-specific device.
English pronouns, however are gender specific. Used to be people would always say "he" if the gender of a person was unknown. Since the dawn of "political correctness", a number of writers have taken to alternating between "he" and "she" for pronouns referring to unknown people. Some use "he/she" or "(s)he", but those are both cumbersome and annoying to read. Some create new pronouns (like "sie") to be gender neutral, but that just confuses or annoys most people. The preferred method is to pluralize the unknown, and refer to the person as "they".
That's very true. Our elected representatives know that their fellows are more likely to vote for the "USA-PATRIOT act" than the "spy-on-our-citizens-in-hopes-that-we-actually-cat ch-a-terrorist act".
If autonomous vehicles save 60,000 lives per year, and result in 6 wrongful death lawsuits per year, do you really think we will ever see an autonomous car on the road? I really, really doubt it. Americans would rather let 60,000 die than forgo those 6 lawsuits, and companies would rather let 60,000 die than pay out on those 6 lawsuits.
...when SCO bleeds enough, Novell can reacquire all Unix rights cheaply. I suspect they want to. The main question would be if they keep it as a seperate product line, or roll some of the code into Suse and therefore open-source it.
I'm from Michigan. Libertarians were running for every (or almost every) position: federal, state, and local. Greens were running for most positions. But only the dems and pubs have the boxes.
As for the style of ballot, it's pencil and paper, with an optical scan.
Because there is a box on the ballot that says "Vote for all Republicans" and one that says "Vote for all Democrats", but there are no boxes that say "Vote for all Green/Libertarian/Natural/Independant/Socialist". People are lazy, and don't want to have to think about their candidates. They just pick one of the two sides and stick to it.
Yeah. That works real well. I'll just tell my boss that right now. Which one user should we allow on our server?
A more useful list would be shorter yet:
1) Make sure all users are intelligent with regards to computers. ...hard to implement, though. That's why IT Security exists.
I've been using 0.8 for awhile, and the mail portion is good and stable. I have had a lot of problems with using Thunderbird to subscribe to RSS feeds, though.
My question is this: Why should the consumer care what OS is on the device?
I suppose you're right... I don't care what the OS is so much, as long as it has a term window and I can install Perl on it.
Know of any non-Linux PDAs that fit that bill?
A 100 pound laptop? So we're assuming aliens are much larger and/or sturdier than ourselves? The planet of the Paul Bunyons....

Now for an American slant - could you please let us all know where you work where your review determines how much you move forward?
Yes, please! It is my experience that if your boss likes you, he tends to keep you right where you are! It's only when the boss wants to replace you but can't actually fire you that you are given the chance to advance your career.
Gentoo's portage does indeed combine the advantages of compiling from source with the ease of installing a package (actually, it's *easier* IME). But if you're talking about maintaining multiple machines, time might be an issue. Portage doesn't do anything about the amount of time compiling form source takes.
For home use: Portage is clearly the best choice.
For business use: I would choose RPMs for the amount of time they save.
I'm actually happy to hear how draconian this proposal is. That decreases its chances of being passed, I think. I hope. Okay, really I'm worried... Just because any rational person would vote this monster down doesn't mean any politician will.
So... by your Viper and fillet analogies (to Linux) and the Neons and McDonalds hamburgers (to Microsoft Windows), I get that Windows is tons more cost effective than Linux.
But I didn't make that analogy at all. Not once did I refer to any OS at all. This is a strict comparisson of IE (which runs on Windows) and Mozilla (which also runs on Windows).
So yes, Mozilla is more expensive than IE, in that you have to spend time downloading and installing it.
It amazes me the things people think I say when they don't take the time to read my words....

I'm thinking this will just cause a rise in the use of silencers...

I can't get the site to finish loading. I only get the first Q/A and the first line of the second Q, and the site hangs. Anybody got a mirror?

Yes I do. Because it looks that way from within, as well.

Gentoo has gone down the path to oblivion??? That's news to all us Gentooists. Gentoo is more popular than ever.
The flames are shooting up all over this topic, and I don't have anything new to add, but I just have to say this:
Anybody who thinks this invention is a good thing is an idiot.
