Yes you do. AFAIK, with debit cards, the seller doesn't get paid until 90 days after the purchase. So if you report fraud within that period, you're safe.
Besides the completely made up stats, especially the 0 deaths for lsd.
Can you provide references to deaths caused by LSD?
While you do not use nearly as much marijuana it has been proven that even the 'good' stuff is over 40 times more carcinogenic than cigarettes. All a bong does is waste less, it will not reduce the cancer causing effects.
AFAIK, this is very debatable.
People will be shot over drugs whether they are legal or not.
The value of drugs (causing it not to be worth being shot over), and its assocation with crime will drop considerably once it's legal.
'Medical' marijuana does nothing more than treat the pain, something that is better done with real approved pain killers. It is not approved because it has never been proven effective.
Marijuana helps treat nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy. Legal pain killers cannot do that.
The ones who end up in a jail are repeate offenders
Who is it that they're offending, that makes them deserve being put in jail? Themselves?
hey even darwin is coming along... i think its way ahead of linux...
Uhh, Darwin is not open source, last I heard.
abiword?
Compare AbiWord to Microsoft Word 2000, and then tell me it's good. Even Microsoft WordPad is better (and I am serious).
open office is gonna be great (as long as they piss off the stupid windows start menu copy it has)
I think they already ditched the Start Menu thingy in OpenOffice - not sure though. Anyways, in Linux, OpenOffice is very slow and very ugly. There is a massive amount of code in it, so I doubt it's going to be fully optimized to be reasonably fast (say, as fast as Microsoft Office 2000) anytime soon. I have not used it enough to fairly judge it's features.
Can you elaborate on that? I'm not sure what you mean by "workgroup support."
> apt-get? You're joking right? It's version tracking blows, take a look at how a Mac handles it
Clearly you have not used apt-get enough to realize how much it rocks.
And even if MacOS does have something better (which I highly doubt), you mentioned Windows too. You must be smoking something nasty if you're going to tell me that updating software in Windows is simpler than in Debian.
> Yeah and it works and is coded for in a totally independant way from KDE
So what? I can run KDE apps on Gnome without any problems. All I need is the KDE libraries (and apt-get will retrieve those for me automatically).

MacOS has few security holes because it's used solely as a desktop, not a server.
If you disable all services in Linux which are not required for desktop use, it'd be at least as secure as MacOS (for remote security - obviously local security in Linux is *far* more advanced).
Since we're talking about modem lag, here's a tip for Linux users. The command:
setserial -v [modem] low_latency
will lower your latency by about 10ms. (Replace [modem] with your modem device.)
Switching local access numbers or ISPs can very often help.
I generally get a 110ms - 125ms ping to my default gateway, and between 150ms - 200ms ping on nearby Quake 1 servers.
I'm using http://www.usexpress.net as my ISP, which is a popsite.net reseller (and it's $10 a month!).
And my modem is a Lucent WinModem, which work absolutely fantastic, and are available for about $20 including shipping (see http://www.pricewatch.com).
But if people had to pay $20 to buy Internet Explorer, on top of Windows, rather than it not only being free, but being forced into every single Windows install like it is today, do you think it would have gotten anywhere near where it is today?
Dependencies when using rpmfind is hell. Compare rpmfind to apt-get and you'll really see what I mean.
No, there doesn't seem to be an option for dpkg or apt-get to retrieve an package from FTP/HTTP URL which you specify, but I really don't think it's such an important feature.
A clone is not child abuse. A parent abusing a child is child abuse. A clone is just a twin, and if a stupid ignorant and/or cruel parent makes a child's life a nightmare, the parent is to blame.
About using clones to save the original person. I highly doubt a parent is going to give birth to a new child, to save the old one, and then just consider the new child worthless. Otherwise the parent is simply a Bad Parent, and a Bad Parent is likely to be that way in other situations too. And if the parent isn't going to make the child feel this way, than the child wont feel this way itself.
About using clones to replace a dead person, and using clones to make your child. Again, these are all just situations where the problem is Bad Parents, who expect too much from their kids.

If you want to inform someone that the world is round, do you say:
The world is round is true.
Or:
The world is round.
?
By making a statement, you're asserting that it's true.

Your bitches sometimes get killed if a cop or another drug dealer attacks you, before you get a chance to run away.
Good example.

The nightly builds and releases do not have debugging compiled in - at least not enough to be slowing it down noticably.
Mozilla is slow because it has not optimized enough (yet).
In 1st grade.

Fine. You can't get it directly from Amazon.com (only Amazon auctions). :-)
...)
But you can get it directly from bn.com. I checked. (Of course, I checked with amazon too
Search for "The Bachman Books" on amazon.com.
Attempting to clone humans at this time would be an Illegal Operation.
How many security holes are solely in modules though? Most kernel security hole fixes are related to TCP/IP, and require a full reboot to fix.
In Windows 2000, I'm almost positive you can.
I use VNC on all the machines (including desktops) at work - it works great.
Of course I'd much prefer operating systems via console, but saying that you can't remotely operate it isn't true at all.
Umm, the answer to your question is in the headline. I don't see why this was moderated up to +2 ... good karma?
> Every version of Windows has BSOD's.
But Windows NT 4.0 / 2000 BSODs are much rarer, and look very different (scarier) than Windows 9x.

If you don't like you the job, and think you're just being taken advantage of, quit.
But if Microsoft needed to give Windows away free, if that's what it would take to get people to use it, they would.
They did it with Internet Explorer.
What version of Windows are *you* using?

To me it sounds like this Microsoft guy is complaining that open source is too anti-competitive.
Hahaha.
