The state should really increase the number of alligators that can be hunted each year. This document(PDF) says the FL alligator population was 1.5 million in 2005. Florida only allows 5500 to be harvested a year. Note that it also says 334 attacks and 14 fatalities.
Yeah, and it would reduce the population of the crocs' main competitors.

While not P2P technology, the servers was not sued by RIAA or confiscated by the police. So P2P would have been a solution to a not yet existing problem.
No, not being sued but being raided by the FBI. Remember Operation Sundevil", which prompted the formation of the EFF?
Nah, we were trading files back then too. The only thing that's changed is the protocols.
heh, uuencode.

So times were terrible back then! Imagine. I sometimes had to go to "friends' houses" and to the "theaters" and even step outside once or twice. I am very glad we have come this far.
I didn't have to go out in 1988. There was more than enough reading on USENET to keep me occupied 24/7. And the shit was so much more interesting than on the sites mentioned. Ever read sci.nanotech?
If you think the 50's were any better, I suggest you watch any number of movies that quite accurately portray how it was. In The Heat Of The Night with Sidney Poitier is a good start. It hasn't been anything like the democratic & free paradise that people are whining about *ever*.
You didn't notice my tongue sticking through my cheek?
watts per second measures a change in power not energy. In other words, the 2nd derivative of energy with respect to time. Power (e.g., measured in watts) is the 1st derivative of energy with respect to time.
Almost 200 million gigawatts of solar energy is beamed towards the Earth every second, which is more energy than our civilization has used since the dawn of the electrical age.
Did he mean 200 million gigajoules perhaps?
A watt measures energy used per time. "A watt of energy" makes absolutely no sense.
Very slim possibility, I should say. They have little chances of gaining support even if they covertly organize kidnapping of their own children.
Good point. But what's really suspicious to me is that the "hacking" didn't start at the beginning of the trial, although there was plenty of advance notice. It only started after half the charges were dropped.
The way I see it, the plaintiff saw half the charges being dropped on the first day, panicked, and then defaced their own site to drum up some sympathy, knowing that it would put TPB in a bad light.
I always use the fvwm2 window manager - it works quickly the way I want it to. kde & gnome (enlightenment too, for that matter) are just bloatware that slow down your system and are security holes. Why anyone would use them is beyond me.
You misunderstand me. I wasn't "moaning", that was the gp. I don't think it's the place of the government to make DRM illegal. Not that it would make a bit of difference: Our fearless leaders don't give a flying fuck about the law anyway. The market will (eventually) decide that FOSS is simply better.
I was just correcting the parent, who thought he was posing a rhetorical question.
Linux has gotten "good enough" on PC hardware that I just don't see any reason to even play the game anymore with Microsoft. Time to get off the ride. All of the "windows only" apps that I use seem to work under wine. The rest all have some open equivalent (firefox/thunderbird/openoffice/etc).
*shrug*
Yeah, and while we're at it, phuck Photoshop too! Gimp 2.6 is thoroughly on par with it.

Now with tint control!

Cops are not allowed to enter a home without a warrant or probable cause (they heard a scream inside). Anything they find will be expunged.
Errr, that only applied when we lived under that quaint "Rule of Law", back in the '50s IIRC.

Yeah? Tell that to Yog-Sothoth!
...about unexpected side effects of Human entanglement...
Would it be a love story?
Kidding aside not sure if it makes any sense for a cautionary tale as my understanding of this is quite limited.
If you're talking about unexpected side effects of human entanglement, you just can't leave kidding aside.

I registered and tried logging in. No luck. Then I told it to send me a new password - no response. They really need to do this better.
Snowflake had hidden the 'phone in her underwear so having Police present is the only way to avoid a lawsuit.
Sounds right, but why do I have a nagging suspicion that the police didn't have to be called because they were already present at the school?
I did exactly the same, and with the same attitude. We are too few, though, and I am in despair of ever seeing any improvement.
I also. I held a faint glimmer of hope for Obama until Emanuel appeared on the scene.
Legally change your name to something that comes up clean on a google search.
Have them produce a model for how Mari Kimura (and others) produce subharmonics (pitches lower than the fundamental pitch of a string.)

Who elects those politicians?
The oligarchy appoints a set to choose from and mindless idiots pick the prettiest one.
after blasting away indiscriminately with a shotgun for decades, MS has unloaded at point-blank range into its own testicles.
I'm pretty sure 2009 will be the year of the Linux desktop.
