actually, taxes aren't legal theft. they're taxes. you not agreeing with the need for having them or the amount paid has nothing to do with the status of taxes as theft. Crime is crime because it is against the law, not because it offends anyone.
you know, that comment doesn't really make sense. I mean, you're trying to say that I'm the one that sucks a fat pile of shit, but the sentence you employed to do this doesn't really work. I mean, the experience from which I speak might be actually watching you suck the aforementioned shit pile. Or it might be with other shitsuckers like you. I realize you meant, takes one to know one, or something like that. But all you've proved is that you're a shitsucker. Once again. Oh, and there's 1 R is shitsucker.
Considering that this is the company that has used it's enormous size to require most new pc buyers to get purchase their software whether they wanted to or not for years, a practice legally considered anti-competetive, there is absolutely nothing morally objectionable about those users taking advantage of the inability of such an elephantine organization to know what is going on among it's parts, and recoup a little money. I say, fuck them. They left themselves open to being fucked, and it's time they got fucked.
that the airlines share the security hardware at the airport, so you have to use an airport where they aren't using the hardware, rather than selecting a different airline. Same deal with the bomb sniffing machines, etc.
I work for a small consulting firm that does, among other things, network consulting for small businesses. Frequently, we're called into look at a setup of NT after the sysadmin/consultant that set the thing up has gone or quit, to make some changes or fix problems. I've encountered some real disasters setup-wise. Lof times, they're set up by old NetWare admins who have no understanding of how the security is supposed to work (interdomain trust is a notorious source of problems), or the local hobby-hacker does a quick install and chooses the wrong options for stuff and then the machine goes into production. I attribute the frequency of screwed up installs to the fact that the GUI makes everything SEEM easier. It isn't, really, there's still complexity to configuring the networking, security, etc. But because you click on pictures to make NT do stuff, it invites the ignorant to try their hands at configuration and administration. Another poster has commented that the sysadmin makes the system easy to use, and I wholeheartedly agree. Stability is something of a canard; we have an NT box inhouse for file/mail/database services, and it stays up fine. It stays stable and working because we give it love and care, and because we set the thing up right to begin with, after a number of false starts. I'm not a Microsoft Drone; I'm a FreeBSD user at home. I just tire, as many here probably do, of the endless, unproductive, eristic. NT's not that bad, lot's of companies use it, and yeah, it needs preemptive reboots sometimes, etc. But the instability is overstated by linux zealots; you need to know how to shake the chicken over the machine, but if you do, it works well. Now, the development tools - that's a completely different story. Three service packs later, Visual Basic is still in beta form (read: multiple ide crashes daily). And dll versioning is a nightmare, etc.
It's been said before, but it's still true. The quicker news cycle (i.e., from time story is first acquired by the news outlet to the time is it released to the public) is shortening by the minute, and the primary victim of this reduction in time is complete fact checking before publishing.
It's always been up to the reading public to demand complete verification of stories from the news outlets they use, just now people are required to be on top of the media, to demand quality from it.
The CoS has had a long, well documented history of engaging in attacks against persons who question it's activities. It's hard to say something nice about people who only want something nice said about them and will harass you when you say something that isn't nice.

The swastika is a sanskrit symbol, denoting "it is well." Hitler adopted it for the 3rd reich. one finds it with the spokes pointing both ways.
Re:Will this run on Handspring Visor?

Linux on Palm
·
· Score: 1
the visor does use the same processor as a standard palm (16mhz dragonball, one of the newer palms uses a 20mhz). I think they've also added math processing hardware.
there are some os extensions they've added, as well as modifications to a couple of the applications. Oh, and they're cuter than the palm.
I've been using FreeBSD for a few months, and and have found the performance and stability to be better than Linux. This is wholly non-scientific evaluation on my part, and I've been curious about how the two really compare.
