The idea that there is any kind of true full blooded "Hungarian" is daft.
The point wasn't to be full blooded Hungarian. The point was to not be a Gypsy or Jew.

Or the first thing you do when you plan to install linux - replace the hard disk with a fresh one. Then put the original one on a shelf until you either run out of warranty or return the computer.
This approach undermines the entire principle of Linux. The thing to do is exactly what this girl did... fight it.
"What's your IP address?"
"127.0.0.1"
That joke is so old it could vote.
If they ever try anything like Pearl Harbor again they should be summarily eliminated from existence.
Say the warcrimes in China and Korea that the Japanese committed, but Pearl Harbor...
Some moderator keeps moderating down as "Troll" everything I post
Slashdot could fix this. I'm guilty of being pissed off with modpoints (years ago) and it is too easy for a moderator to target an individual. Simply gauging moderator behaviors and applying some limits(max 1 mod per individual) would take care of this problem.
The devestation at Hiroshima and Nagasaki wasn't really much different than the firebombings of Tokyo by the U.S. or Dresden by the British, excepting for radiation sickness and long term cancers, but fire bombing led to burns that were pretty much as bad. The nukes just required fewer air planes to do the damage, but they were still massively expensive to make.
They are totally different.
The rivers don't boil with firebombing.
The moisture isn't sucked out of people that they are so thirsty that they jump into the boiling rivers.
Firebombs don't irradiate people.
Firebombs don't kill people weeks, months, years, decades later.
Visit Hiroshima and be humbled. They have a memorial that is a huge mound of human ashes.
If your backups to the server need gig-e, you're doing it wrong. Using rsync, I was able to backup 5GB of e-mail over an ADSL connection (12mbit) in 14 minutes, because it compresses everything.
Are you serious or just being funny? Text compresses well. Video does not. 5GB is nothing. I have more than 10 TB of video from favorite shows/movies, almost another TB in photos, and about 300 GB of ripped music.
And that data is completely new everyday? You can't steal, rip or buy movies faster than a Wi-Fi connection could back it up. The grandparent has it correct... Wi-Fi fits be bill for most home needs.
Portable is key when you want to resell your house. Unless you can find a like-minded nerd, anything screwed in to the walls is going to turn off buyers.
I think it depends on how it is installed. I used a rack in my old house for Audio/Video Equipment for the theater room. The door of the rack was framed so it acted like a cabinet. Perhaps this is why it took so long to sell my house:-P
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oracle Java isn't open source.
Straight from wikipedia:
On November 13, 2006, Sun released much of Java as free and open source software, (FOSS), under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). On May 8, 2007, Sun finished the process, making all of Java's core code available under free software/open-source distribution terms, aside from a small portion of code to which Sun did not hold the copyright.

N9? While maybe not as gifted with 3rd party software repositories out of the box, it is certainly just as open as the n900 was.
Question is "have they changed this?"
Whats the bug number where they were notified. Why did they refuse to fix it?
AutoIt:
AutoIt has been designed to work on Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows Server 2008/2008 R2, Microsoft Windows 7.
So you are complaining about an open-source development toolkit that supports every major OS and several Mobile OSs against a Windows-Only, proprietary application. I really don't think you are going to find many sympathizers here.
