I run a Gentoo workstation for work, where I set up things exactly the way I want them, but this is quite time consuming. Might this be because you're compiling everything from source?
Well this is good news. I guess we have nothing to worry about now. All of you Comcast subscribers should be able to sleep easy now that there's no worry that your 50 gig hentai video pack torrent won't get shut down in the middle of the night.
I cant help but be reminded how all of the accounts on the somethingawful forums were compromised due to an easily preventable SQL injection bug and Lowtax through a hissy fit and left after his loyal goons called him out about it. I can't help but be reminded of the severe douchery some slashdotters possess and how they like to jump on any chance to point out the flaws of others, regardless of how irrelevant it may be, in a desperate attempt to feel better about themselves.
People *are* getting fucked over on the basis of race, so actually it does matter. I fail to see how trivial statistics such as this where the only thing being compared is the color of a persons skin matter. I agree that we should bring attention to racial discrimination so that the person(s) responsible for it can be dealt with accordingly, but this is far from resembling anything even remotely close to that.
And? If we truly want to live in a society of racial equality, we need to stop calling attention to stuff like this. Who gives a shit what whites, blacks, hispanics, asians, etc do. As long as we're not fucking each other over, who gives a shit..

I wonder what the middle eastern religions, the trifecta judaism, christianity, and islam, will have to say about it. Either the universe is teaming with life, or we are the only ones. I find it hard to believe we are the only ones, so sooner or later will find proof of life somewhere. Heh, I've always wondered the same thing. I'm sure the quick-thinking clergymen will find a way to incorporate this into their religion. Hell, the Bible's open for interpretation, right?
I just wish Adobe would do a decent job at supporting their core applications on linux, e.g. Acrobat and Photoshop, but maybe that's just me. Here's a thought that I had regarding this. I remember there being speculation that Apple might buy Adobe and make all of the big Adobe products Mac-only (like what happened to Final Cut Pro once Apple took them over). If Adobe did publicize information regarding porting Photoshop to Linux, that could prompt Apple to make Adobe an offer that they couldn't refuse.
Once Apple eventually does overtake Microsoft's market share, I have no doubt in my mind that they will be a Bastardly Organization From Hell to deal with. I'm through with closed, proprietary operating systems. Once I decided to ditch those systems in favor of GNU/Linux, I never looked back.
Intel's already been working on this for a few years. For Sun's sake, they better hope that Intel didn't file for a patent on this already, otherwise this could get messy.
Sure, why not. Except for lost or damaged discs, and the fact that every review is going to say the PS3 version is better because you don't have to change discs mid-game. Given the alternative, I'd rather have multiple discs than nothing at all...
By limiting themselves to dual layer DVDs, don't they risk being overtaken by superior offerings on the PS3? We've heard Kojima say that MGS4 can barely fit on a Blu-Ray disk, so that must mean the 360 is screwed, right? Couldn't they span games over multiple discs if need be?
If the article refers to MS VirtualPC, then I concur that it is one big POS and not worth the price tag of free! VMware has consistently stayed ahead of the curve for many years in the virtualization game and will probably continue to. Hyper-V = Microsoft's upcoming virtualization technology
VirtualPC = Microsoft's old, crappy virtualization software
Oh? I work in a hospital (in an all Mac lab, coincidentally). The hospital is protected by an absolutely draconian firewall. No USENET. If you want to check your e-mail, the server and port has to be specifically requested and allowed. No outside requests at all.
So one of the doctors brings his Windows notebook in and plugs it into the hospital network. It's infected by a worm, which quickly infects all the Windows machines in the hospital, no user interaction required. Instant nightmare. The virus more or less took down the network (the only effect us Mac users noticed). Diagnostic imaging was in a shambles. All without anyone even getting the chance to exercise some self control. I should have specified that I meant this for intelligent home users. Business environments are a different story.
The best protection for people like me (which naturally translates to the majority of the slashdot crowd), is a combination of common sense and in the event you suspect some nastiness is going on, house call. Use it for a full system scan, or just to scan specific directories (IE, a 'download' directory for stuff from a not-so-innocent origin). It supports Windows, Macs, Linux, and even Solaris. Seems to do the trick for me.

You mean to tell me that the FBI is the evil FBI?! I'm shocked! Shocked!..Well not that shocked.

I can't help but be reminded of the various legal threats towards Lowtax at Something Awful and his hilarious responses.

Did anyone else think they were referring to Enzyte?
Freud was apparently an open fan of coke.
Last I checked, legitimate questions didn't require proof for them to still be valid..
How much of this contributed code is 'Microsoft interoperability' code that will later be used to "prove" that Linux infringes on Microsoft's patents?
...thus solving our problem once and for all.....ONCE AND FOR ALL!!
Damn you..you beat me to it. i was gonna make that joke :p

And for the same reason I never used AV software in Windows....it's not necessary as long as you exercise some common sense and self control.
