If performance is bad enough, overseas proxies will work better despite the lag time. I wonder if getting around the filter is as easy as running bind.
Your filter script is very funny. I like how that filter ended up shoving butt in everyone's face instead of hiding ass. That's what filters are all about aren't they?
I hope they eat your shit. Looky there, my wish has come true
two research teams from ARS and NC State developed a novel way to identify strains of agricultural bacteria that produce hydrogen gas. Using a selecting agent to grow only these bacteria, the teams identified a gene that inactivates the bacteria's hydrogen uptake system so that all of the hydrogen produced is released.
"Agricultural bacteria" I'm sure would love to eat shit. Your waste will help power your house without having to dry and burn your shit. Cool.
How much of an incentive do you think people need to create? The volume of freely available work on the internet has clearly eclipsed the restricted world of paper publishing. Would you ever bother to buy a paper encyclopedia now that you can get Wikipedia? Digital restrictions of the kind you advocate have a substantial social cost and the evidence points to it hindering rather than helping. People create and share because that's what they want to do.
Technically, you are confusing reproduction and publishing, something the constitution's authors would never have done. Every one of them was educated with lesson books where they coppied extensive sections of literature. Publishing is done in mass and for money. Me making a copy of a CD for my mom or my neighbor is not a publication and it's not something that should be prohibited. The term "unauthorized reproduction" is a confusion intended to extend publisher's power over us all. If you listen to what they say, you will be divided and helpless as they take even more power.
Where they would like to take you is obvious but crazy. The AP would tell you that you can't copy more than a few words from any of their articles. That's clearly not a publication, even if it's done for profit. Enforcing such provisions is prohibitively expensive. They might as well demand that we all carry around microphones to make sure we don't rob them of potential revenue by reading things to our friends.
I live in a world without restrictions and that's the way it should be. No new restriction or means of delivering industry PR to me is a "step forward". US copyright was not made to prevent, "unauthorized reproductions" it was made to maximize the public domain and advance the state of the art. It was supposed to be temporary and it was always considered an evil exclusive franchise. I do not want devices that refuse help and information from my neighbors so that big publishers can keep revenues based on obsolete business models and technology. You are asking me to refuse to help my neighbors when they ask, that's wrong.
Like people are going to spend money they don't have on non free software instead of doing what they can in their spare time. M$ and friends have yet to recover from the Dot Com Bomb but companies like Google have grown by rewarding individuals for their work. Free software always provides a reward for work. Google, through advertising, provides a reward for your blog.
Someone murdered someone, now I can't draw a picture? You expect actual murderers to be afraid of drawing a picture because you have made a bold statement against "dilution"? Do you think police work will be easier if gangs don't self identify? Will you feel safer with the police distracted by symbols instead of watching out for real crimes?
Land of the free, home of the brave ring a bell? We imposed conditions like this on defeated Nazi Germany but allowed ourselves the pleasure of model airplanes, games, trophy/memorabilia sales and silly costumes and genuine neo-nazi rallies. Don't be a pussy, it's self defeating. Police harassment will not bring you greater safety.
You guys wish I was not reporting a consensus opinion. Call me when Vista surpasses Mac's market share in the general population or GNU/Linux developer interest. In layman's terms, massive fail.
It won't be very funny to people who are denied insurance coverage for "bad" genes.
Insurance needs to be regulated again to avoid problems like that and many others. It's supposed to spread risk out through the population. Instead, insurance companies aim to make a buck on every individual and dump people with real problems. They also bully hospitals into favorable pricing in a way that medicine for poor people even less affordable. As a society we are not looking after our neighbors in this most basic of ways. The cost is needles expense, suffering and death. If you are into making money, you can justify this for yourself. If you are into providing healthcare, you can pull your hair as roughly 1/3 of all healthcare dollars go to insurance companies and patients are turned away.
It's called the Vchip and it's been around for more than ten years. Censorship has been around before apes could talk.
Delay loops, by the way, are no more expensive than a tape recorder. The technology has been in use since they were invented. All radio stations have them and can still use them for this purpose while a $300 PC does the actual audio recording.
Ditch digging is honest, this case is not. This is not about protecting artistic expression.
There's not much to scheduling that could be considered a unique artistic expression. The very few people who do those things churn through demographics in an effort to match "target audiences" and advertising with the time people are home. Things like Tivo obliterate the need for such work. More importantly, each and every one of us would prefer to create our own schedules that have nothing to do with advertising.
Google says Sweaty B is full of shit about "flat" growth. Par for the course, he used the wrong metric and then blew it out of proportion. That's not nearly as interesting as his admission of growth in the places M$ cares about most and the reasons he thinks the growth has happened, so they can share. Passing things back and forth in email with brittle formats is not nearly as easy as having it online in an easy and flexible format like ODF. Yes, he's also afraid of Open Office. All of this is well deserved bad news form M$ and their ancient file format monopoly.
If that's true, they could just use Win95 today right? What's missing? Modern applications. Non free software does not offer that and can't if M$ wants to keep selling new versions of Windows.
E17 uses software that has an active community following. GNU, the product is greater than the sum of the parts.
There's lots of distortion here. RMS says a lot of things but only a few messages are ever amplified by the mainstream press. You won't get more freedom from cloud computing but the rest of this is a tempest in a teapot. Google is a reliable service.
This is an admission of failure from M$. Ordinary power management should be able to bring you the full OS quickly but it does not under Windows. GNU/Linux does work, despite intentional sabotage. This intentionally limited "instant on" won't be able to compete, even if they can make it work. Right now, it's just more vaporware.
While I cannot take the time to name all the men in the State Department who have been named as members of the Communist Party and members of a spy ring, I have here in my hand a list of 205.
But the second quote happened at the beginning of a horrible paranoia based on a real external threat. We still have the apparatus of that paranoia, though most of it was outlawed in the late 1970s and the only credible external threat is now our largest trade partner and "most favorable nation." Today we have secret "terrorist" blacklists with more than a million names. Domestic spying, especially web based spying, has jumped to levels that would make the freedom loving senator from Wisconsin angry. Anti-death penalty and peace groups are among those watched. Shame, isn't it?
Shoring up the nation's IT against spying is as easy as dumping the prevalent non free software used by most big dumb companies. This would also save the country hundreds of billions of dollars in licensing fees and other headaches unique to non free software. The problem is that it would make wiretapping very difficult or impossible.
If M$ had an automated tool that made Vista work, Vista would simply work. They would, you know, push it out in a "Windows Update" like other patches. Why go though this silly game where you tell the user to go get things from vendors? A good tool would say, "you need x, y, and z. check those you want to install", like every GNU/Linux distribution does. Non free software won't ever have a comprehensive tool like that and M$ would not know what to do with it if they did have one.
M$ is a stumbling zombie. All they can do at this point is fuck things up. Someone put a stake through the company's heart please. Next week should be nastier than last week for the soft, ring the bell and watch them go to zero. No product, no value, game over.

I doubt OOo3 was downloaded by the majority of Windows users.
Yeah, it was just the majority of Windows users who think they need an Office program.

This just in, Steve Ballmer says Vista is as good as M$ can do. Don't say he's crazy for doing the same thing and expecting different results. Sell, sell, sell!

You had a headline with "Interpool Pushes World Facial" and this is the best you could do? Did you run out of blow Steve?
What M$ said when they pulled IE for Mac. It was a handy excuse at the time for a company that's a pathological liar.

If an encryption key exists independent of my will, you can find it and use it without my help. Really, I've forgotten more passwords than I know.
Ah, the mind probe. Welcome to the next witch hunt, complete with head crushers, iron maidens and other "proper" devices for compelling people.
GWB has already threatened Congress with martial law over the market crash. He may well be the last president as we know the office. It's treason.
How much worse can it be than this, where an artist was detained for her pen and ink drawings? It's like they trained up the border patrol for the inevitable rubber stamp.

Why bother with hardware when you can own the M$ Windows desktops in the front office? You know, the ones used for ordering, inventory and all that?
