The whole Novel/MS deal is just a way to ensure that each party has 100 million reasons not to sue the other party. From a business point of view this is a good settlement. From a Linux point of view, it is meaningless and doesn't change anything.
Yup, I do the same, but I also disallow anything younger than 10 seconds. So that if someone does figure it out, it will slow him down. BTW, I don't even bother hiding the fact that it is a time stamp, in fact, is has the incredibly obvious name: 'TimeStamp'. I guess a dumb attack can be thwarted with an equally dumb response...
All the modern Linuxes have cutesy shiny clickety GUI wizards for everything. That started way back when with Mandrake and all the dissenters eventually copied the drakes, so why do you have a problem?
Yup, my son is working as a security guard. That way, he can get $12 per hour for doing nothing and reading/studying. That is much preferred over actually having to do real work for $12 per hour.
The real reason for the global warming vendetta is to convince Joe Public that it is a good idea to build more nuclear power stations. It has nothing to do with whether the temperature is going up/down, it has been going up and down for millions of years and will continue to go up and down for millions more...
The thing most people forget is to think where does the earth atmosphere come from in the first place - it is produced by volcanoes. The amount of smoke us humans produce, is only a small fraction of that billowing out of the volcanoes, yet the atmosphere is remarkably stable. Therefore, there must be a natural process that is cleaning up the volcano smoke and this process must be in equilibrium, otherwise we would have smothered a long time ago. The question therefore should be, whether our tiny smoke contribution can upset this equilibrium or not. If it can, then we need to worry. If it can't, then we need not worry.
Since 3/4 of the planet is covered in water, we should probably look there to figure out what is keeping the atmosphere in equilibrium. It is doubtful that the process is mainly land based. Phytoplankton and diatoms probably have a much bigger influence on things than trees and grass.
The movement of a glacier is not only dependent on temperature. It is in fact mainly dependent on precipitation. Warmer air can carry more moisture and leads to more precipitation, therefore growth of glaciers. So, your shrinking glacier provides strong evidence of cooling, not warming...:)
Of course everything you say is true. The real reason for the global warming hullabaloo, is because governments all over the world wish to build more nuclear power plants and somehow Joe Sixpack has to be scared into believing that nuclear plants are less dangerous than global warming.
Anyhoo, the warming is a good thing. Pretty soon we'll be able to farm the tundra. Eventually, people may be able to settle in Antarctica. Maybe later, the dinosaurs will come back to wallow in the polar swamps again...
Well, this is just another example of a large institution (Wikipedia) discriminating against Linux. Why don't they publish Windows and Linux viruses side by side, for an objective comparison?

The time delay doesn't even have to be that long. I have found that a delay of 10 sec per form posting is enough to deter spammers.
Usually, only large companies need to comply with these laws - more than 50 employees.

Careful, with too much experience, it is also difficult to get a job. The solution: Write a creative resume...
No not quite flawlessly - the fscking machine shortchanged me $20 yesterday.
So, I take it that you don't use a Spam filter?

Hmmm, time to go. Since it happened on your watch and you are a contractor, you will be blamed...

Those cavemen must have burned a hell of a lot of oil to cause sufficient greenhouse gas to get the earth to warm up again.
It should be easy to weed out the cars and pedestrians. The cars are the ones that are stationary...

Those are not vestigal legs. The dolphin realized its mistake and wants to come back to land. Obviously he has to grow legs first.

Why can't you just write 'I', without the ',for one,'? There aren't all that many schizophrenics that you need to make the distinction.
Because they could get a better deal from France or Russia?
Well, for a public school education describing North Africa as the Middle East isn't too bad. It is only out by a few thousand kilometers...
English that is. An idiosyncrazy up with which you have to put...
