OpenSUSE 10.3, Ubuntu 7.10? Those distros are more than a year old. Is that how long it takes Adobe to crank something out? A year is a long time out here in Penguin land. In a year I'll throw three or four completely different distros on this box just to see how they do.
In Soviet Russia Putin authorized open access to the civilian navigation signals of the GLONASS system, to Russian and foreign consumers, free of charge and without limitations. That's an astonishing thing, considering the remarkable coverage provided by the system, but I suppose they don't have those Capitalist animal spirits yet!
Why is climate change so bad anyway? When has the climate not changed? Do we know what would happen to the genetic diversity of animals if the climate stopped changing? Why is promoting a static climate called a "progressive" (experimentalist) issue and not the ultimate conservative (traditionalist) issue?
Scientists at the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco have yet to determine what human activity to blame this on, but Capitalism leads the pack.
The computer and electronics industry are filthy industries.
Yeah, God hates pr0n.
Ironically they are pushing everyone to replace their incandescent bulbs with fluorescent ones to save the Carbon. If you break one it's a major HAZMAT incident on the level of a radiological "dirty bomb" going off. Lord forbid you should try to dispose of a dead one.
Let's do it by decade, and market share, and let's go back to 1981 when the IBM-PC came out. So for the 1980s, it will be the "Year of the MS-DOS desktop" for nine years, and the "Year of the Mac" for one. Use a random number generator to pick who gets what year, I don't care. For the 1990s it will be "The Year of the Windows Desktop" for nine years, and the "Year of the Mac" for one. Same goes for the decade of the Naughty Aughties. When more than 10% of desktops run Linux, Windows might have to share one of its years. This decade wasn't it. Next decade doesn't look so good either.
I suppose if a woman spends six months with two guys on the International Space Station, and three months after she lands on Earth she gives birth, a Space Lawyer could help determine paternity. Also if a Russian pilot dings the body work on the International Space Station with his Soyuz and denies it on the collision report, a Space Lawyer would come in handy there too.
RIAA sees China's success, gets Congress to block Shoutcast. China does it to block
commentary on their regime curtailing freedom. Our regime doesn't give a crap about
the freedom-curtailing commentary as long as no digital performance of Britney's latest
crapfest goes unpaid.
At least Blair* didn't use nuclear weapons to annihilate two entire cities.
That was the style of both sides, in World War II, to annihilate cities. Dresden, Hamburg, Tokyo, Manila, Nanking. The American innovation was to reduce the number of attacking planes by three orders of magnitude.
AFAIK that's basically how it works - the quantum link can't transmit any actual "information" - it just allows Alice and Bob to exchange a big random number in a way that allows them to detect whether Eve is listening in
A Britney song is just a big random number, and Alice could be RIAA and Bob could be the Britney fan, and this technology will allow RIAA to know if Bob is siphoning off data to an un-DRM'd format such as MP3. Expect to see millions of dollars pouring into this research soon.
Because in all of the others, you are not posing this question.
You got it 180 degrees out. The answer is the equivalent, but the reverse, of the Anthropic Principle. Every parallel universe also has copies of him asking that same question.
Doogie Howser in a SS trench coat? Must be a Heinlein movie. Man Coulter has all his books.
"Majority Rule can be the worst tyranny of all." - Heinlein
"Money is the sincerest of all flattery." - Heinlein
"For women, `equality' is a disaster." - Heinlein
"A friend in need is a pain in the ass." -- Heinlein
"The greatest productive force is human selfishness" - Heinlein
And also assuming they dont develop time travel so they wont care about trying to detect it because they can just go and watch it.
Which assumes that the past exists as an objective record, beyond what we remember or write down. And THAT assumes that atoms are leaving behind little copies of themselves from moment to moment as "now" sweeps into the future.
Maybe God already wrote "Yeah I did it" in Hebrew using subtle differences in the Microwave Background Radiation that was clearly detectable from about 300,000 years after the big bang until roughly around the time he had enough trans-helium elements to start toying around making planets.
It's stupid anyway. Sales taxes in Seattle are up to 9.1% which is pretty damn ridiculous. If I were living in WA and this went through, I'd move. Internet purchases help make WA living more affordable.
Right. Let's save money. Let's move from a beautiful green ecotopia and hot job market (Boeing, Amazon, Starbucks, Paccar, Microsoft, and Dept. of Defense) with rising house prices, to Detroit, where houses go for $30,000 and people make SUVs that don't sell because everyone wants a Prius.
Dual booting kind of defeats the purpose of a free OS.
My galpal's employer's website requires IE to get PDFs of her pay stubs. IE runs under Whine, but you need to launch the application from an existing install of Windoze. If you can get IE unbundled from Windows the EU would like you to testify at their anti-trust hearings. Linux is not ready for prime time when it comes to music software. The only program I've found that automatically detects my MIDI keyboard is LMMS. Whine chokes on Cakewalk software installs. Google Earth installs but the graphics are slower'n crap. This is also why the gamers are sticking with Microsuckware. When this motherboard blows up I'll go with Linux 100%, but in the meantime, I'll stay with XP. But there's not a snowball's chance in hell I'll get Vista.

Does that mean the kid would have an annoying hum if born?
No, but if the kid was aborted, you would have to dispose of the fetus as HAZMAT.
A fluorescent protein? Did they want to make a baby that you can find under the black lights in a night club?

Why is the application built into Ubuntu to play music named "Movie Player"?
Because if it was just named music player people would not try to play movies on it.
Why are desktop icons so huge? 5000 icon sets, all of them bigger than a breadbox.
You can resize icons with the mouse.
This is why Google is beating Microsuckware, no way would Redmond encourage Windows or Office hacks.
Can you put a price tag on the fact that Ubuntu works and Vista doesn't?

Sure they can. Hell, they [Microsoft] can have their own Linux distro if they really wanted to do that too.
It would be called White Flag Linux.
