> Since all major Linux distros are deciding to adopt systemd... Slackware is a major distro. So I expect everyone who opposes systemd to migrate to Slackware, and I'll get even more slackbuilds to browse through on SBO, right?

That's what ROT-13 and secret decoder rings are for.

Yeah, I wonder why the camera didn't catch the comet's tail. There's a possibility all the volatile components have already been burned off by the solar wind (which is what causes the tail). That would make this either a very

My house is 100 years old. The walls are bright green and ten feet high, and full of homemade art. I will never buy or live in a boring beige box again. I'll never understand why people want to live in such mind numbingly plain spaces.

To NOT decorate the things you own seems inhuman.

The "loud pipes save lives" excuse is a load of horse hockey, and everybody knows it.

From Wiki: "Leadership has been described as "a process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task"." I don't see how this isn't exac

I've recently come to see the light regarding light roasts, too. Tastes more like coffee and less like bitter. But the other comment about tea, they're right. Tea in bags is hardly fit for making sweet iced tea. A hot cup of black

I meant that the several rooms of a single home were connected by tunnels, not that multiple homes were connected together. This is always how I've imagined my dream house to be. Energy efficient, immersed in nature, easy to hide if ne

Then why didn't the invading Europeans die from new American diseases in equal proportions? Because old-world livestock lived closer to humans, in larger quantities, for longer, therefore giving Europeans many more diseases to become i

Not that this isn't awesome, but aren't hobbit houses underground? With networks of tunnels and hillside windows and entrances? This looks like a rustic country house with a green roof. As much as I like this, I'd prefer some

It's not about getting anywhere faster. It's about not being trapped, and about having control of my own situation. Hell, I'll drive 12 hours rather than spend 6-8 dealing with airport bullshit, for precisely that reason. I w

That's what on-ramps are for. If traffic is congested enough to demand merging (rather than just making sure the road is clear), you shouldn't be driving at 90mph. On the other hand, you probably shouldn't be driving at 60 ei

How does one "be illegal"? I think it doesn't make sense (or is at least ambiguous and confusing) unless you replace it with "being here illegally".

Because they don't offer content for sale anymore. You can rent it for the same price you used to buy it for though, if you submit to some pretty onerous restrictions, the occasional rootkit, and DRM, and give up any hope of owning wha

Sony rootkit? Maybe it's because I'm on linux, but torrented content never gave me any viruses. So as far as I'm concerned, the legal stuff is more likely to infect your system with malware.

Is it? How do they figure? Or do they just use whatever number RIAA gives them?

by drcube 13y ago
Not obviously. I'm pretty sure they could sell 5M copies at a buck apiece. Even in these dark days of record sales, they could probably make more than $5M with mass distribution.

"Lost sales" is not a necessary component of copyright infringement, if I recall.
