While it's fair enough to say that, I've found that "Just Works" principle applies to all major OS distributions (well, except my first few Gentoo installs).

If they kept you on payroll for seven years, it would be difficult to explain why they did so while evaluating your performance badly.
Well, it's "left on bad terms" as opposed to "we fired him for being terrible." You could have a sparkling record, but if one day you go a little Fight Club in the boss's office then it's all for nothing, really.
Personally I think being identifiable has much bigger security issues. Still, I think that an internet that has inter-internet border guards might as well not be the internet at all. Maybe if there were some way to switch between one or the other for whatever you're doing. Super-secure connection mode and anonymous-style connection mode. What we really need is less morons on the internet.
As you say: as long as it's the least you can do, it shall be done. Besides, it keeps Western crime departments on the payroll, so it's not like anyone is getting hurt, right guys? Right?
When I first saw the news topic I thought that some smarmy prankster had started a fundraiser to cure the disease of 'being a white male.' I was going to laugh.
Now it's all serious, you jerks.
And thanks to the severity of my condition (whitus maleus) I'm going to die, soon. Way to ruin a dying man's fun.
Uh, yes, that is what logically follows.
If there's an obvious 'kill-zone' and you let your children anywhere near it without some form of restraint... well, let me rephrase this slightly: if there's an obvious {zone of danger} and you let your children anywhere near this zone without some sensible form of restraint (here's a good form of restraint: don't bloody go there you ninny).
Replace the {zone of danger} with anything you like - giant chasm, electrical transformer, soldier going on a PTSD rampage, other form of serial killing, warzone, bomb test site, massive fire, colony of starved cannibals, nuclear fallout site, Barney the Dinosaur's house - and you shouldn't be surprised if your child falls down a cliff, gets electrocuted, stabbed, shot, caught in crossfire, bombed, burned to death, eaten alive, develops cancer or gets molested.
While it may not always be an 'accident' as such, it's hardly the zone's fault. It didn't go, "Bwahaha I WILL TAKE THIS CHILD" it just so happened that something was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Except in the Barney's House case; that one is genuinely malicious. I hate that goddamn dinosaur.
Well, that assumes they're idiots - personally I've found Biden a scarily intelligent man to observe. Barack himself purely seems to radiate intellect. Anyone who claims Dubya "radiates" anything other than the Miasma of Stupid needs to pay more attention 'fore they injure themselves by walking in front of a bus or something.
That speech was incredibly powerful; as a British man I cannot say I've had a Prime Minister's speech have the profound effect that President-Elect Barack Obama's had on me. Heck, if someone like myself can shed a tear for the strength of American ideals, then I consider that a powerful speech.
Interesting how you say this when you no-doubt buy imported goods. If you do, you'll probably marvel at how cheap some of that stuff is. Heck, even if you don't, do you really think the person who made those consumables got a fair pay? The money you're saving by buying these imported goods would otherwise, admittantly only in a fair world, get back to (and benefit) the people who made those goods*.
I'm guessing that you only care about 'fairness' when it means that you get a better deal.
*Of course, that's assuming their company isn't corrupt. Which they must be (be corrupt, as in) if they produce really cheap import goods. They're all about profits.
Talking with many of my friends, we've agreed "winning" is just a word being used for "Leaving a fair and stable democratic government in Iraq that is not and will not be a threat to America or it's allies"
What's to say the two are not mutually exclusive, my Nuke-toting brethren?
Funny though this is, to be honest his 'in b4 Linux' comments were actually justified in that everyone subsequently has gone with the whole "LOL GUY USE LINUX" which partially misses the point - the article says "when-it-positively-gotta-be-windows" not "when-it-is-windows-but-unless-you-know-an-alternative-os-then-shut-your-trap."
Honestly, my biggest problem with Linux is genuinely the fanbase who are raging zealots who respond to (generic MS Windows issue) with their 'Get Linux' mentality. Yes, Windows isn't perfect; yes, OS X has its fair share of retarded features (or lack of, wherein) and yes, Linux doesn't happen to work perfectly with everything that has ever existed. OH WOW. Shocking. It's not perfect?
Heck, when I first looked at Linux there was a page called something like "Linux is Not Windows." Bemused, I looked at it, and what I could surmise from the page was this idea: "Linux software is mostly open source software, and that means it's free. Because the developers can't always be bothered to work on stuff they're not being paid to do, not every program will always work all the time - if there are bugs and you find this inconvenient th- LOL GO BACK TO WINDOWS NOOB!"
Linux zealots are just as guilty as Console Fanboys of ignoring issues as long as their shiny-object is shinier and tougher and cooler than everyone elses' shiny-object.
...but back on topic, if you want high quality virus scanning, then get something paid-for, like NOD32. Elsewise, if you really don't believe in paying for software, then I'd recommend Avast, although the Clam AV mentioned here doesn't seem bad either...
Pretty much what this guy said - as long as power wasn't routing through them the components themselves should be fine, so just clean them with something gentle (as opposed to, say, olium) and then make sure they're totally clean (including clean of the cleansing products) before letting them dry again.
"Oh really, your leg is broken? Well, see, the thing is I have a leg... and it's not broken nor does it hurt when I walk, so I don't believe you. Have you ever really had a leg in this century?"
See what I'm saying?

Well, to be fair he's just asking how to do it properly - better to ask fellow Nerds on here than to try it yourself with the crap peddled out at local stores or online stores (where the quality of an item is not tied to its price, to an extent). Shortly after you get it home and open the box you find the shiny webcam they were advertising is actually surprisingly similar to the kids' toys you find in special edition cereals. It's around this point you think, "Shit, I should've looked online."
But surprise, surprise, all there is online is one guy's website outlining some bastard expensive $1500 set-up that has bells, whistles and a megaton of fireworks which has only the vaguest descriptions of how he managed to obtain said wonder-items and how he subsequently soldered them all together. Honestly "Google It" doesn't even work all of the time because it just links to 100 different people having slightly different problems but getting no offer of help from their respective forums/help websites. This is where the concept of community is a bit of a hit-or-miss. Slashdot, as a community, is generally expected to hit. Hence, people ask. People don't always know the answer and it's not like there's a book called "Setting up a 24/7 Webcam in the United Kingdom without Shite Quality or Being Fucked Over by ISP Bills, for Dummies" readily available...

I just liberated City 17; it was really tough and my real mission is still ongoing. Can I also get an article?
As you say: as long as it's the least you can do, it shall be done. Besides, it keeps Western crime departments on the payroll, so it's not like anyone is getting hurt, right guys? Right?
Indeed, it's a sad state of affairs when we cater to one third of the world's population...
And, will open source licenses ever finally get translated into languages besides English?"
(Zonker says that translation into 7 languages was done for openSUSE 11.1.)
Well, unless those seven languages are English, English, English, English, English, English and English, then I'd think it's safe to assume so.
All the while struggling to manage 20 frames per second or else looking like a child drew it. That is gaming uptopia! Consoles are the future!
7000 people a joke? Hoho, my friend, you'll find that over 9000 is both the amount of people protesting and a joke.
Oh man, real support for Eclipse would be brilliant.
