10/31   How to Ask Questions the Smart Way
        http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
        \_ [description added to appease the motd url nazi(s)]
        \_ Or, start with:
           http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/sextips/intro.html
           that'll help you to more quickly realize what an idiot esr is, and
           understand how worthless his "advice" is on any topic.

           \_ Good god he's ugly.
              \_ Ever seen Paul Vixie in person?
           \_ U D0N'7 N0 WH47 U R T41K1NG 4B0U7! 35R R3U13Z! H3 15
              1337 GN00/L1NSUX H4X0R! H3 15 S3C0ND 0N1Y 2 RM5 & L1NU5!
        \_ Why are all these linux geeks such big jackasses? I have yet
           to meet a linux geek who didn't think that we was the best
           most enlightened coder/human being to ever exists on this
           earth.
           \_ If you have to ask, you don't know?
           \_ As opposed to BSD jackasses?
              \_ with linux geeks, it's a delusion (that they're the
                 most enlightened coder etc.).  with bsd geeks, it's
                 the truth.
              \_ Most BSD users/developers I've met aren't jackasses.
                 They seem to be normal people who use BSD because it
                 does what they need it to do. Most linux geeks seem
                 to be recovering windows lusers: My oc'ed dual celeron
                 2GHz running RH 7.5 is better than an E10K!

Although these are all simply facts, your ability to access and use this information could soon be locked away, inside someone else's database.

News Mr Kay said in Mondays New York Times that Iraq had tried to revive its nuclear-arms programme as recently as 2001 and had been trying, shortly before the war, to make a bomb containing ricin, a deadly poison. Nevertheless, his conclusion that Saddam had no large stocks of banned weaponsand therefore was not an immediate threat to the worldhas damaged Mr Bush and Mr Blair. News cp writes " Philosophy Voting The Fedora leadership structure is not a voting structure. Our structure follows historical Linux and Red Hat practice; The leaders who need to achieve consensus will be chosen by merit; The Technical Lead will be the main functional "benevolent dictator" (in the Linux kernel sense), but may be overridden by the Steering Committee, which itself reports to Red Hat's executive management. Linux bl8n8r writes "Tim Buckley, Red Hat's chief operating officer and top sales executive, has retired, and Alex Pinchev, who leads international operations for the Linux operating system seller, will take over as head of sales. Buckley, 52, wanted to spend more time with his family and friends, Red Hat spokeswoman Leigh Day said Monday. He joined Red Hat in 1999, shortly before the company held its initial public offering.
