For wont of mod points....

They didn't put as much effort into "it just works" with mostly the latest and greatest as Ubuntu did. Debian's got more amazing amounts of "stuff" than people were prepared to deal with- and the good stuff was oftentimes in "Sid" which meant you weren't as stable as Ubuntu USED to be.

You pay a differing price dor those types of uses.

You're presuming that $1Bln put into FreeBSD work is going to EVER be contributed back. That's NOT a foregone conclusion, perpenso.

Depends on the nature of the development in the ppc64 branch. If it's in the core instead of the arch/dir, then you gain from it.

Not really. It switches to HTTPS for me right now.

No caps. For real. No BS. No filtering either.

If you're using the recorded details of the two known Level 7 Incidents, Fukushima's still not QUITE as bad as Chernobyl by the numbers. The thing is, though, it's going to probably have a farther reaching impact than land-locked Chernobyl- and it's still not over with (they can claim it's a new incident with this "leak", but it's still part of that level 7 that started with the Tsunami.) and it's reaching the 1/6th the total radiation at this point and no signs of being over and has signs of possibly being worse or getting worse than they're claiming.

Fukushima's actually a Level 7, right on up there with Chernobyl. The leak's a level 3 incident? That's news? I thought this was an aspect of the still ongoing level 7 Incident.

It's not "as bad" as Chernobyl...yet.

Sue 'em for breach of agreement. Quite simple, really. Much like the horse boarding facility in Texas found out- you breach the agreement on YOUR end, you can't expect anything from the other party in return.

Here's some of the news involved with what I'm talking to:

Court Affirms Judgement Allowing Boarders to Move Horses Due to Stable Employees Smoking In Barn

Actually, it's not.

You don't get the juicy $150k per incident of willful infringement statutory damages if you don't register it, per the law.

...it doesn't help that you can't really lay your hands on an IPTV (Direct or Multicast) vendor unless you're talking someone like AT&T (U-Verse), CenturyLink (Prism), or Verizon (FiOS). I've tried, to no avail, to get access to decent service that way. No. Go.

Uh... Horses aren't people (Though I understand that some are confused on that score...). Your analogy goes straight to Hell in a handbasket at that point.

Actually, they allow it- you just can't register the foal in the AQHA registry at that point.

You'll see part-bred Arabians all the time and the AHA allows them to be registered as Partbred-Arabians in a seperate segment of the whole registry.

Why would you want to do this? Simple. You very often get the best of both worlds when you do it. It's just not a breed unto itself and won't "breed true".

Nature sets the stage. Nurture turns it into the product they are trying to clone.

Unless the clone goes through the exact same process of growth, training, etc. it's not going to be the same horse. Genetically, it will be- but it won't show/race/etc. the same way as the original.
