"With a computer science degree you'll be able to get a job anywhere."
One of my profs actually told me that. Now I'm wishing that I had just gone for that PhD in Math I wanted instead. Given the way the economy has gone in the last few years, I'd have come out even economically, but would have had more fun.
I'll take this over having to reverse-engineer the specs and deal with potential IP issues. For once, Microsoft did us a favor, even if it does come with strings attatched.
If we're going to unite behind Debian, then we need to pour resources into better X software for Debian, and a better manual.
Until then, I'd rather put my money behind Fedora or Gentoo.
We sure didn't do it by allowing psychos to have AK-47s, that's for sure.
Of course, psychos are actually barred from owning AK-47s by a Federal law that was supported by groups like NRA. Not that it's foolproof.
Does anyone honestly believe that having a full gun cabinet does anything to enhance their constitutional free speech rights?
If it keeps aforementioned psychos, including those that happen to have law-enforcement powers, from damping my freedom of expression, then a safe full of firearms is worth the price.
NRA's Institute for Legislative Action, which is banned by Symantec's software, is not a weapons site. It is a political advocacy site. Go look for yourself if you don't believe me. That's why this discussion can be framed in the contexts of both the First and Second Amendments.
It's a large enough subset so that I feel comfortable giving them money to defend 98% of the Contitution.. and then giving money to NRA to defend the other critical 2%.
I can see at least one application for this story in my life, as I can use it as an example of what can happen if your software breaks. It's good to impress the idea of quality controls on the minds of students. Especially hard-drinking college kids.
Under no circumstances should we ever forget that other people are ends in and of themselves and not a means to an end.
It's the people who conveniently forget this that run the show. Always.
I had assumed that it was formed on Masonic values, e.g., the Brotherhood of Man. That's certainly the impression I get from Jefferson's writings and the Bill of Rights.

How about consulting the wish list your kids wrote to Santa? Or asking?

That should be: IWAmp3.comA (for "was").

Do we know whether this particle violates the Standard Model? Because if it does, that could mean a real revolution in Physics.

You forgot Gentoo. It's major, at least in the sense that it adds real innovation to the distro idea and garners a lot of attention.
He's a US resident, and from what the Bush administration is telling us, he's not even entitled to a lawyer because he's not a citizen.

Nope, just a whole bunch of "little" wars in non-Western-European nations that have killed millions over the years.
Is the world's first supra-national organization and, more remarkably, has had its power seriously challenged only a few times.
What about the League of Nations? Or for that matter, the Hanseatic League?
"Unlike the folks at RedHat, we believe that Linux is ready for the desktop .. and in fact, we've got the perfect distribution for you rigth here!"
Ah, thank God for those little URL "hints". There's *one* search I won't be recommending to my boss anytime soon, at least in an office context!
If you're running XP, there's one built in. I don't have my XP OS running right now, but this might help.

Say what you want about the quality of the Lindows product -- these guys understand what it means to give back to the community. Good for them.
(In all seriousness: I think this is a candidate for the worst photograph ever taken.)
From South Florida? Escaped the clutches of the Cubs by a fluke? Lucky fish indeed, that one.

I'd settle for a "grammar do" function.
It's good advice. Until you have to eat.
Ever read The Age of Reason?
