Am I the only one who thinks that's a really bad idea?
it's generally bad practice to run any script from a remote source off the bat. If you're really paranoid, you don't have to run the script, I'd suggest looking it over in any case and if you're really curious what it does, but still a bit skiddish, I'd recommend running it through a virtual machine where generally even rm -rf * won't hurt your host install but frankly if you're that worried about it don't run it.

I can't speak for anyone else but having used Vista for a short time, the UAC is *infinitely* more annoying than anything sudo/su has ever been. mainly because of two things: 1) the UAC has no intelligence, just rebooting ends up in a string of UAC prompts for no reason what so ever. 2) software is poorly coded, that is it expects admin privilages for no reason what so ever other than programmer's laziness. 3) no authentication at all, all it is is another thing for the user to click with absolutely no point in doing so. OK/Cancel isn't security, it's an easy way for MS to blame the user for either switching it off entirely or blindly clicking OK for the 700th time that morning without any thought about what's going on.
a similar technique to what you describe has already been used to generate a strain of bacteria capable of cleaning coal of various hydrocarbons. the basic idea is that you can breed bacteria and put a selective pressure on them while slowly changing the chemical environment they live in. in the case of coal, you start with oil digesting bacteria and slowly acclimate them to larger quantities of hydrocarbons typically found in the presence of coal while lowering the concentration of the original "oil" hydrocarbons. it is my understanding that the process I am referring to has been patented although I do not believe that radiation/mutagens were used in the breeding process. so in principle your idea, though not new, would/does work and is being used to some extent.
'is no more than a wish to benefit from a lot of work that Novell and Red Hat are already doing in the Enterprise space.'
odd, it was my understanding that GPL'ed software was supposed to be used, not just by a few. I do understand his concern that Canonical and others should be contributing more useful software to the code base that is available but whining every time some distro uses the code that is available, adds to it and becomes popular is very very un-productive.
first, pseudoscience is false science, sudo is superuser do. second, there are clear lines of evidence pointing to the fact that 1) humans are a major or the major contributor of green house gases including CO2 and methane. 2) rises in CO2 and methane levels in our atmisphere trap heat more efficiently leading to an overall average warming of the entire planet, this has been and is being observed.
Nobody would call me fat but replace global warmin with economic struggles and fat people with jew and our intelectual elite sound pretty much like Hitler did in the the late 1920s.
don't try to turn this into "we're being persecuted!!!!" you have no comprehension of the magnitude of the holocaust or all the horrible things that have been done by the nazis. the nazi extermination of various peoples during the holocaust was based on hatred. this article O.T.O.H is hyperbole. do the obese require more fuel to go the same distances in cars/transportation? yes. does this have a large enough effect to warrent the conclusions of this article? most likely not.
Can we get back to real science before we completely destroy the world pretty please?
oh I agree, just not in any way to which you are referring. you suggest that global warming is a hoax and is to be ignored when the evidence doesn't warrent such a conclusion. you also suggest that the conclusions made in TFA are comparable to the naxis, that's also nonsense. you also fail to adress any of the medical benefits to losing weight in general, the decrease in heart attack/stroke risk as well as lower associated cancer risk. instead you attempt to elicit sympathy for an un-tenable position, tat doing absolutely nothing is the way to go.
ctrl alt esc and click on the firefox window, if that doesn't work, alt-f2 and type the command killall firefox-bin or in the case of FF2 on hardy, use killall firefox2-bin
They won't be fiddling with MSDOS, you will... or else. same with passwords, encrypted data etc. as far as they are concerned, it's not the obstacle, you are.
"Security suites and online Web scanners detect only a little more than half of all rootkits
security suites/online web scanners != antivirus only. as for why
AV-Test.org also found that a few big name AV scanners had serious problems finding and removing active rootkits
I would have to say that a lot of scanners that are referred to as being antivirus target several types of malare, viruses especially so but not exclusively. havng to develop separate scanners for each type of malware and actually charging for them would be enormously expensive, not that they won't be doing it soon.
This has been said before but it's in Microsoft's best interest to support FOSS primarily on the Windows platform rather than watch FOSS grow anyway on other OSes.
Firefox 3 is set to be released in June, the next Fedora release will be much later, the same decision was made with Ubuntu Hardy which is a LTS release so it would make some sense to have the latest browser version as it's not too far from the actual release date for FF3. but assuming you don't like FF3, there is nothing stopping you from installing FF2 instead, your FF profile works fine on both anyway.
"What's the difference between them and cell cultures removed from your body?
some would argue that if left to its own devices, embryonic cells would grow to become a human child where as cell cultures derived from your body would not.
it's not only a question of whether or not killing embryos at this stage would be wrong, it's als oa question of what the consequences of not carrying out this sort of research. would it morally/ethically be wrong to stifle this kind of research to protect the life of these embryos while millions suffer and die from diseases that could have been treated using this research? I'm not advocating one position or another in this case, just pointing out the other side of this.
my point was that SP3 was supposed to try to retain current windows users in the face of vista's failure to impress. SP3 instead seems to be driving people away at least until/if it gets fixed.
Well no offense, but the "sexiness" of the Mac seems to have given the heads up, if it were not for the fact that the photo had already been taken [it counted down after it took the shot???]
lumping an entire religion together in the same pile as religious extremists is quite ignorant and bigoted and can hardly be called anything resembling "truth"
their servers, their software, their conversation? which brings up a few points, if a government owns the servers and software, does that mean that it's ok for them to do what they please with the data that comes across? why wouldn't that be censorship? if it is censorship, then why does this rule of yours that it is "their servers and their software" only apply to anyone except the government??? for that matter, would it by extension, be ok for them to modify, insert or otherwise mangle what you send down the line? after all it's their hardware and software and you've already tried to estabolish the idea that they can do what they like legally...
I'm "censoring" someone if I don't let them scrawl graffiti on my house, am I now the boogeyman?
no, the right to free speech does not include destruction of prperty [an infringement on your rights] nor does it involve illegal trespass. which reminds me, where exactly does a youtube link fit into that on MSN? does that apply to phone calls too, after all it's their infrastructure you're using??...
you're being pedantic, and btw:
various definitions:
*The practice of suppressing a text or part of a text that is considered objectionable according to certain standards.
*Action taken to prevent others from having access to a book or information; a public objection to words, subjects and/or information in books, films, and other media with the idea of depriving others from reading or viewing them.
*Decisive acts of forbidding or preventing publication or distribution of media products, or parts of those products, by those with the power, either economic or legislative, to do so.
censorship is the act of witholding information of some sort from the public in general by some means, there is no requirement that the government be involved, merely an entity powerful enough to do it and microsoft, as you should agree, is more than capable.

yeah, not so much upgrade to Vista as try to keep those on XP from fleeing Windows like rats on a sinking ship.

no, I think his possible emplyer's predjuces got the best of him first, mindless MS marketing speak after all.
The definition of censorship doesn't depend on who is doing it.
