Anyone I've ever met who didn't like Princess Bride were universally known to be lacking in the humour department, and thought sarcasm was suitable for each situation. Their favourite method was to add "NOT!!" to the end of a clearly false statement. Of course, my opinion of them in regards to comedy had the same quality.
Well said. And some may say I'm just as pro-linux as Twitter et al and I have in the past fallen into the same trap. Unfortunately, if they say anything significant, it is destroyed by the childish manner in which they argue. The nature of humanity is such that mis-informed behaviours actually work against the proclaimed purpose. One does wonder if that may be the true intended purpose of such posts.
Nope... It can only be installed on one computer. While there is nothing to physically stop me, the license states it is to be installed on one computer at a time. The stolen computer has the original install, ergo I can't install it on another.
Dude! You have time traveled and don't even know it! Its 2007! Recreate the steps over the past few days and you may get back. P.S. Take a copy of this back with you. Heck, just take this & this & this. on the understanding you will get us our flying car, buy NVidia and release the code.
Damn I can't think of any major science/tech developments it would be good to have back in 2004...:s/P
This is good! I hope they have a great success, as I can see them being used like demountables are used on constructions sites.. Once there are enough of these we can start building a manufacturing base in space
If vmkernel is descended from a linux kernel, the GPL requires they show the code for vmkernel. If it doesn't, they don't have to do didely squat. However, if they seem recalcitrant about developing or patchin, users in frustration will harass them to release the code to allow users to continue development. Some users take it further, and do just as you suggest that all open source communities insist upon.
USAians, meet Russians. Remember large amount of money spent on developing a device that would write upside down/in microgravity? Russians took a pencil. Sounds like a similar case...
Say it again with me, "This does not stop pirating". This just makes average slob pay twice for software they can't prove they bought. I bought Win XP, except that it appears obviously official, I can't prove it was not installed on another computer. Why? The original computer was stolen, but not the disk.
Hear, hear! I hate using my uni's machines because I have to deal with MS Office (don't remember the version). I find it very cumbersome. The only usability problems with OO.o I have noticed are small scale things such as where tools are placed or the lack of templates. On the template issues, I have easier to make my own templates in OO.o than in Office. Yes, they lack the polish of the professional templates, but then I'm not an artist or designer.
Okay, so YOU have no reason to go to space. I do, and I believe a large portion of the planet will one day agree. It's called raw resources, commonly translating to wealth. You find [preferred valuable resource] and people will begin finding reasons to go to those empty spaces. And if the Chinese are the ones with the transport capability, they will dominate it. Why do you think oil is such a big issue? It's all about transport. Is it spelt out enough for you?
Yes, I know it is fiction. But the principle stands. If you control the transport and something people want, they either fight you, buy you, or compete with you. But they must deal with you.
Assuming cost of running are similar, if I need 5+ machines on a daily basis to run what others can deal adequately with 2 or 3, I would begin to worry about my 'redundancy'.
Also consider it from this perspective. Having enough engineering to take up the slack is one thing; having machines/systems constantly being swapped in and out due to failure of one part sooner or later will require an added layer of redundancy to my 'redundancy'.
I never said to not have redundancy. However redundancy should not be used for day to day running, which by most would be understood as 'normal'. I hope that is not how you plan your systems...
But they have the physics of how those were done, with USAians providing proofs that the models work well enough to be used for more advanced maneuvers.
I don't check my dingy works with every type of maneuver every time I launch it; I just run through the basic safety check list to make sure it works with in the expected bounds. The motor on the other hand, I make sure it is running before I leave.
My point is, sure sometimes the wheels have to be re-invented, but the Chinese engineers will probably do all the 'complicated' maneuvers in one mission. Only if things are not working as expected would they pull back and re-think how to approach it. Besides, I'm not sure a human life is necessarily as valuable to the Chinese society as it is to the USAian. Individuals may consider it so, but not the society.
That is not in any way discrediting the USAian achievements, but recognise please that the Chinese will build on it, not repeat it.
Yes, but they NEED to change package managers and not stuff around with Microsoft... Please Novel? Yes, I agree it is a good distro, for a noob home user (that would be me, btw). But I have yet to see any package management system sniff apt get's scent. Plus synaptic makes a great gui front end.

Okay, how can we help Microsoft improve its authorisation systems?
I worry about you...

On another note, I'm just about ready to take up the forms lu, lus, and lunNope... It can only be installed on one computer. While there is nothing to physically stop me, the license states it is to be installed on one computer at a time. The stolen computer has the original install, ergo I can't install it on another.
The real issue is, that the story is believable.
damn me and my memory...
try galatical or astronomical next time. Figurative quantum leap is still small, but a leap doesn't physically occur.
Damn I can't think of any major science/tech developments it would be good to have back in 2004... :s/P

i believe you meant 'lu' instead of 'it'

So do stars... I'd think it more likely to be drawn into the sun.

How did USAians manage to fight their internal wars externally?

Where can I find data that implying such?

People like pretty more than they like functional. That is why

vulnerability didn't work. I ran ClamAV and it deleted most of the files.
P.S. I only installed Wine to do the test then uninstalled it. No harm done
