You're confusing "Hoof & Mouth" disease with "Mad Cow" disease. "Mad Cow" is the one caused by non-viral, non-living, but 100% organic microscopic shards of brain-seeking protein.
Seriously. You are looking for a solution to an impossible problem, and besides that it is *easier* to learn HTML than it is to learn Dreamweaver. Stop being frightened of the technicalities and just try it with a text editor for once.
Its all over the news. Not just NY Times either. If you're gonna lambast me for the accuracy of my post at least get it right and lambast me for not knowing what a CDO is before popping off, instead of splitting hairs about something they've *all* been doing since well *BEFORE* such a law was explicitly put into place and that needs to be marked [citation needed] anyway. FYI I now agree with the original post having been informed of my lack of understanding of its context.
No, I just didn't actually know what a CDO is and should have looked it up instead of not paying attention to the title on the original post. I merely misunderstood the point being made and spoke out of turn, sorry.
Please. Most if not all of that "two trillion" dollars is caused by megacorps like GE avoiding their taxes. The system only works if everyone plays by the rules, and blaming all the damage caused on some children stealing media they wouldn't be otherwise able to afford anyway is a pretty pathetic attempt to pass the buck and you know it.
I seem to recall seeing a statement by Theo himself who basically said that it was true that said government contractor had been hired and paid to write some stuff for OpenBSD some years ago but the code they handed over was never actually used because it was of such poor quality. Nobody even noticed it was loaded up with backdoors on its way to the trash can.
As for the future, well, digital copies are actually a LOT harder to preserve long term. I myself have files that I can no longer open, because I no longer have a copy of the word processor "Sprint" running on MS-DOS 5.0. They're less than twenty years old, and are essentially unusable.
As a web software writer and an open standards advocate, this makes my head hurt. You, of all people, should understand the importance of picking a non-proprietary open standard format for permanent data storage.
If we could find a way to archive digital information which would guarantee its usability a mere century from now, I'd rest a lot more easily.
Really? You think this really is a problem modern technology hasn't solved? Ever heard of ASCII? Shame on you.
Console games are dying... and YOU'RE KILLING THEM!!! YOU'RE KILLING THEM YOU HEARTLESS HEATHEN BASTARD! As God is my witness if you single-handedly kill Nintendo I will have my revenge!
You got modded flamebait but in reality you've understated the situation quite significantly. When the feds come to bust a private host for something they usually take everything in the room that is even plugged into the same power line and all the networking hardware out to the wall, then they leave it up to the owners of the hardware to litigate for return of their property.
Yea but FWIW lack of binary compatibility is only a show-stopper for software that doesn't provide the source along with the binaries, and this guy didn't even bother tackling audio, network, or accelerated graphics... showing that a DOS install of Doom 2 still runs on Windows 7 with no audio or network testing whatsoever isn't exactly what I'd call a herculean feat of reverse compatibility.
Yep, I can correlate this. My parents owned a pair of muff-dyke shih-tzu's. There may be something that really separates the animals from the humans, but its certainly neither homosexuality nor oral sex.
The problem from my perspective comes in with the fact that at every individual level of the process from decision making to grunt work involved with the installation of these horrible things there is a high incentive to cooperate with the install while the liability for blame if they turn out to be unsafe is nearly inapplicable to any of said individuals themselves.
From the execs who are making money on the deals to install these things to the politicians who are gaining the ability to show they're "doing something" about homeland security by pushing for the installs to the techs who have to themselves physically install them and monitor them but only do so in order to keep their jobs and feel personally safe because they can warn their friends and families about where the devices are all installed it is near certain that if there WERE any health safety issues inherent to the technology nobody in the general consumer-level of the public would have a chance of finding out about it until it was too late.
*sigh*
Luckily for me the market is so bad I can't really afford to spend the money on going anywhere these things are likely to be installed anyway. If they try to install one on the front door of my apartment though everyone involved is going to have a *very* bad day.
Ok I wasn't going to participate in this particular flame war but... POWERSHELL?! That shitty bash knock-off duct-taped to the side of windows is your counter-example? In what sick world do you live where you need stdin/stdout to have built-in object support and you think that this is actually making things *easier* and *less* prone to error? If you sincerely believe *any* of that mad statement to be true then you're REALLY doing it wrong.
A couple nights ago Colbert had a rather amusing segment summarizing the chain of events. I believe a phrase similar to "Hey, look at that hornet's nest; I'm gonna stick my dick in it!" was used. Look it up, you'll laugh.:)
Its true she did threaten to make everyone a brain slushy. I mean, COME ON I thought "cola" was inappropriate as a slushy flavor - this is just going too far.

No the *real* amusing part is just how much more lethal Caffeine is by volume than any of that "controlled substance" shit.

This is actually a good suggestion, minus the Joomla part.

After it melts down, can I microwave my HotPockets on the scattered chunks of radioactive concrete?
Happen to be using Comcast as your ISP?
HMMMM....
Frosty fucking piss.

Yes, because we don't have *any* nuclear power plants in earthquake prone territory in America. We're way smarter than that.

I'm sorry, Fry, but astronomers renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke once and for all.
