Linux is not a bloated kernel, if you look at the actual kernel, it's not that big... but you get a huge chunk of drivers for hardware, network protocals, obscure file systems and much more.
But how long it takes to get into the official kernel isn't much of a worry, people who build kernels for embeded devices know what there doing, downloading a extra patch is childs play compared to the rest of it:)
Resistant to all known herbicides and kills off other plants trying to encroach upon it's own land... yes I know no one (least I hope no one) will make a garden weed like this, but youve got to wonder, what happens if there is that one in a milion freak cross spiecese polination and soon youve got roundup ready dandylions.
Matter of public safty really, if your phone goes off in a theater I'm sure a lot of angery frenchmen would probably do worse than blocade your ports;)
Anyway, the solution isn't to dificult, you simply install those lovely RF absorbtive mats around the preformance space isolating the area from the outside world and install a low power mobile phone mast inside which simply rejects all but emergency services.
Never take the cheap option when buying something new, but if it's for personal use old computers which have a proven track record of being reliable are just as good, if very slow in comparison, my old P2 400 is still chugging along 24-7.
New good quality fans, and filters are a good investment though. If you skimp on them you'll only end up having to clean out the dust from the case and replace the fans possibly after the damage has been done.
Well lets see, a human has to check there's around 10 seconds of copied footage as less than 10 seconds I think can be described as fair use in many places, so it's taking 1,000,000 seconds a day to check, most people work 9-5, a total of 25200 seconds allowing for a lunch break, asuming that theve downloaded the files in question and have all the codecs anyone could ever think of, and some time to load, catalogue etc the work, lets give them 30 seconds a file to check, bumpin up that time to 3,000,000 seconds, you'd only need around 120 people working flat out all day to check them all.
Or like me you can suspect they don't check them, and these humans just look down the list of files the computer spits out and go, oh that's one.
If they bother to check these things I doubt Synmatec would have sent me a notice to take down there software, they invented a filename I guess by the dynamics of the eDonky network, and then gave me exactly the file details, strangely the only file which matched on my computer was a copy of Open Office 1.1.0 Win32, so I doubt anyones really checking these things out properly.
Slowly america looses it's freedom, the goverment withdraws into secrececy and the people live in fear.
Umm shouln't we be trying to combat the terror of terrorism as well as the terrorists themselves? Youre 1000x more likely to get run over by a car than die in a terrorist attack but the fear is 1000x greater that you'll die in a terrorist attaack than get run over by a car.
The reasons are simple, you can look both ways, act sensibly and minimise your risk of being run over by a car, you feel more in controll of it but no one things they can do anything about terrorism so it's blind chance that you might be one of those people.
The goverment should be educating people as to how to help fight terrorism in sensible ways, avoiding vigilantiasm, combating irational fear of muslims and arabs, and giving people a handle on terrorism.
Best way to help fight terrorism is to make sure youre not helping them, terrorists have girlfriends, they have jobs, managers, collegues, etc... did you find a copy of Jihad weekly on the photocopier?
Dada is good but shows a desire to be superiour, Dog's probably better:)

The voting machines software must be available for public inspection.
The hardware design for voting machines must be available for public inspection.
The assembley of voting machines must be available for representitive public inspection.
The voting machines security must be based on cryptographicly secure systems.
The voting machine once put into service must not be openable, the case must be sealed and no software route to controll the unit in place.
The voting machine must produce a full tally of all votes for any election it has ever been used in when requested by an authorised key holder.
The voting machine must log all administrative transactions, and produce this with all vote counts. --
The electoral volentears know how to handle people voting, a secure system would have to be devised for handling of the votes taken from the machines, possibly a small printer device similarly open to public inspection to convert the data into a human readable form from an early point in the chain.
If anyone wants to add any more to this, comment on how it can be done feel free. There's no way I can have total trust without proof that the names on the list tally up to what the clicks on the screen mean.
No that's like 0 albums, since I had no music in there, it was all OSS software, game demo's, browser plugins, etc. I think the most popular was counterstrike which was a free download from the counterstrike website.
Though I didn't always check there were 'don't redistribute' things, it was just everything I've downloaded for free.
I really wish people would actualy validate the content of these things before sending these nasty letters, I got one because someone had renamed OpenOffice 1.1 to Synamic Internet Security to get more downloads, and because of the way edonky works my machine was flagged as one having that file (checksum match) available for download, even though the file had the original filename in my share folder and had nothing to do with internet security.
Put my right off P2P, even after ammassing a selection of around 500Mb of free content which the RIAA and MPAA wouln't (or shouln't) come after me for:/
The main thing is there light emmiting, thus you can get a true black (no light emmited) and strong colors, where as with a LCD display where the light is blocked off, which not only means you've got a huge great big backlight which can't produce the same brightness in many cases as other displays, but you don't get a true black as liquid crystals can never block off 100% of the light.
Personally I'm hoping to see OLED displays in case-mods, since unlike LCD's they won't light up the area even when black vivid images could be shown inside a case:)
It comes with a detailed explanation of how, and the code used inside it (throw on whatever non-replication licence you like, as long as it can be observed and comments made on it).
Hence why I'd not vote on a machine, unless they start publishing code there's no way to tell that 1 vote in 10 is converted into a vote for bush.
Well Solaris is an OS linux is a Kernel if your going to be pedantic, so comparing them for security is pointless:)
Besides security is just a matter of configuration not what operting system you use, just some ship with more secure default settings than others, a moron can turn OpenBSD into an open house, and a pro (granted a few miricles) can turn windows into a secure OS.
The GUI lacks harmonisation, some buttons slab when you move the pointer over, some change color, and some don't do anything at all but are still clickable, I'm not sure about these red dots while images load, the HTTPS yellow navigation bar is novel but lacks clarity, and seems to stay yellow for a while during the loading of a second website.
Lots of work to do to pull all these new featues into one good looking browser.

For freedom to prosper in the world we must ensure that nations like North Korea don't exist.
You must be in one of the 2nd strike cities then, they have the bomb, they don't use it because of mutually asured distruction.
The only realistic solution is hope the'll go away, and keep on hoping until they do.

Microsoft will ship Windows without WMP, it won't also ship any codecs or any way to download them unless you install WMP.
:)
So essentially you'd be shafted if you wanted to use any other media player to view WMP files, until youve downloaded and instaleld WMP
I also downloaded my hotmail for archive, though geekilly I put it in a IMAP folder for viewing with thunderbird..
Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and start visiting all those old websites and changing my default email address to some other service.
I got my 250Mb quota a month ago :)
Definately better than 1Mb, and constantly almost maxing out if one spam comes in with images attached.

About time they implemented an automatic search upon article submission so that any old articles which might be similar appear in a list.
