    The interactive "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" game on ABC.com already gives you extra points for answering questions about the commercials during the show.

    You can see it while the show is on, right here: http://abc.go.com/abc/redirects/etv_home.html

    You're talking about SSL certs, where this problem is with a code certification. These are two very different things.

    From your IP address, I guess that you are from Orlando,_United_States.

    Nice try. I'm on the other side of the country, in LA.

    There is no lie here. They are actual screenshots... it's just that they are from a graphic artists' computer and not from the X-Box.

    ...and the other half are from ZDNet, so they could be made up as well.

    Even if the virus' didn't exist, you would still have to pay for the protection. The theoretical vulnerability is still there.

    it's not violating anybody's rights because they are only trying to find people with outstanding warrants and arrest them

    Just because their intentions are good doesn't mean that it's OK.

  8. Re:My biggest impression of unions. on Dot-Coms Say 'Unions Not Welcome!' · · Score: 1

    If they turned on that feature, they would be robbing a union worker of his job. A major lawsuit would follow.

  9. Re:My biggest impression of unions. on Dot-Coms Say 'Unions Not Welcome!' · · Score: 1

    The subway system in LA is equiped to operate itself without operators in each train. Unfortunately the transit authority has to hire a certain number of union workers. This means that these people get paid $20 an hour to operate a throttle and call out the stops. What a waste. Of course, it was really fun when they went on strike for a few months last year.

    I have not locked the doors to my Jeep once in three years, and nobody has ever locked it for me.

  12. Re:What is the product, really? on Warez and Abandonware · · Score: 1

    If they release an old game for free, and just ONE person doesn't buy a new game because he's playing the old game, then the company has lost money on the deal.

  13. Re:Apache users are weenies on Administering Apache · · Score: 1

    I agree with your BASIC/Perl comparison, but could you give me an example of this in the Apache/IIS world?

  14. Re:You see what the options do on Administering Apache · · Score: 1

    Ah, but you can do the same thing with IIS. Even though it is usually configured through the GUI, anything in the metabase can be viewed and changed with Windows scripting.

  15. Re:Apache users are weenies on Administering Apache · · Score: 1

    I am curious. How does one learn more from text config files than by using a GUI. Is it because it takes longer, so you get more exposure to the product? That doesn't seem right.

  16. Re:theres an obvious reason on Administering Apache · · Score: 1

    Just because Windows comes preinstalled doesn't mean that you can't put "what ever the fuck you want" on it.

  18. Ubiquity? on Administering Apache · · Score: 1
    Netcraft tests have for a while provided empirical evidence of Apache's usefulness and ubiquity.

    I don't understand. Netcraft shows that there are millions of Apache servers out there, so that means they are good, but 95% of workstations out there run Windows, which is supposedly bad. Huh?

    Does it feel good to sit in a chair and type threats to a company that will never see them? With all thier money, they could make you disappear off of the face of the planet, and nobody would notice.

    I've installed NT on many boxes, along with all of the patches you've listed, and never seen that problem. Like I said, you fucked something up. Bitching about it on Slashdot does not help anybody. I've fucked up my Linux installations before, but that does not mean that Linux sucks.
