I know this is off topic, but when seeing the parent posts being modded down, I had to try to put their reactions into perspective. They have come out of a belief where you are taught that God is going to destroy the world. Contact with outsiders is strongly discouraged outside of business/preaching to them. And if you leave the religion, contact with all members, friends inside is forbidden. It is extremely strict.

Perhaps this small list of the many, many support and recovery groups out there will give people who are actually interested an idea.

Not my intention to start a flame war, but this IS important to put into perspective. There are thousands of people who suffer in silence. I'm an ex-victim myself.

Do you mean MontaVista, LynuxWorks, Metroworks, or some other company?

Each company should be in charge of auditing, testing and validating its products. It should also be noted that embedded realtime Linux distributions are much smaller than regular desktop/server distributions. Most DOD systems aren't accessible over a network, so that type of vulnerability is largely not a problem.

BTW, this complaint from Dowd is old news - it first surfaced this spring. Not many are buying his argument, from what I can tell.

your tastes might veer more towards hamilton, otherwise try a halter barnes Time Machine. or maybe even something rare and cool like the vulcain jump hour. failing that, try searching for skeleton watches.

This reminds me of something that is happening right now in the paintball industry. Click here for an explanation Then if you want, go here: http://www.petitiononline.com/sppet888/petition.ht ml

That's... interesting. Here are some of the results I got:

Mulitcultural Long Hair Care Forum
The Moon Landings Were NOT Faked
and, best of all:
PoopReport.com: Your Source for Poop.

While this project isn't exactly my box of springs, there was some discussion on the this newsgroup if you are lucky enough to find the particular post. Network54's article retention is less than average, but the original crusher discussion took place there. Well worth the read if you can locate it, perhaps in a Google cache.

You took me through the Galaxy
When I was just 14
To show me there was so much more
Than a small planet blue and green.

You showed us deserts, mountains, parties,
And marshes where mattresses romp.
You gave us Dent and Prefect and Zaphod
And a robot who only would stomp.

Adventures galore caused by eddies in time
And Ford's warped mind, so manic.
All the while, the center - a book
Whose cover tells us not to panic.

A trilogy with books of five
So the mind of genius creates.
And years ago, a young version of me
Found your work lifted from my soul weights.

You left us last night, your towel was packed,
So suddenly out of life's door.
Should I see you again, on an eternal beach
Or the brothel of Triple Breasted Whores?
Perhaps reciting some poetry not as bad as Vogon prose?
Or hiding your face so an alien tiger can't see you?
Who knows?
Learning to throw yourself at the ground
And miss- yeah, that's the ticket.
Or perhaps taking on armies of Killbots who murder through Cricket.
Asking questions of the most powerful computer That take strange aeons to reply?
And when it does, the question itself is elusive to the mind and the eye?

I jest, I joke, I write this poem,
To repair the hurt of a day.
Although there's sun, I feel less warm
For a true master went away.


That was written by J. Grant of Flem Comics. The actual thread is here.

Give the people at Slashdot some credit. When I submitted my L.A. getting nuked story, I got a pretty quick email reply with the answer I was looking for.

it is possible to connect two modems together directly and have them communicate. make sure that one is set to dial without checking for a dial-tone, have it dial any number. (not sure if it has to be a number of a certain length or not.) after an appropriate amount of time (appropriate=long enough to have dialed the numbers) have the second modem pick up. they should initiate a connection. go from there.
