What is the actual purpose on doing DDoS attacks on some rarely visited government web sites? If people want to actually change things, they should really go out and protest against the government rather than sitting behind the safety of their monitors clicking endlessly until some crappy configured server goes down.
During the past years the Egyptian government tried to reduce bureaucracy (which is huge) and corruption (imho) by introducing a lot of services e.g. authoring certificates, accessible from Internet. This was a big project in collaboration with Microsoft. So I suppose that by doing DDoS attacks on these websites the governmental sector will halt.
I suppose that you live in USA. If that's true then you can buy a developer version of G1 from here which points you to here for 399$ + 25$ for Android's developer registration. It's not locked to T-Mobile and you can use it with any mobile provider you prefer.
p.s. Apologies if it has been mentioned before in this thread.
Is your boss the owner of the company? I am asking because here where I live many managers don't like solutions like the one you provided since purchasing new hardware/software systems may result to hidden gifts from the sellers. You know, "Your purchase cost 100.000, here is 5.000 for your efforts"
Maybe the EULA explicitly states that because Activision wants to stop 3rd companies from creating controllers for the game without getting a licence. 3rd companies can create unlicensed controllers but if users are not allowed to use them they are not going to buy them (at least that's the legal way). Anyway Activision may license controllers which are designed for impaired players free of charge or for very low fee.
... keeping people off the ballot is what they do in socialist/communist countries like China and Cuba and Venezuela, not civilized countries...
Sorry but saying that socialist/communists countries are not civilized is way wrong. socialist/communist may be or maybe not civilized. Also capitalist may be or may be not civilized. May I remind you of Guandanamo prison among others? Anyway I believe that the definition of "Civilized country" is debatable. In my humble opinion and according to what I believe is civilized there are very few countries which match with the term.
1) As far as I know European countries use VAT. US does not
2) Increased cost for operation
3) Regulation of EU which forces products to be sold on same price across EU
4) High profit margin + monopoly
I think that you did right not reporting him. My honest question is what sort of sysadmin i.e. someone who knows a lot about security, privacy etc, is he since he did not permanently erase his cache and his history from the computer. Sorry for going bit offtopic
Nokia 7110 was an amazing phone. Along with 6210 and 6310 the best mobile phones this world has ever seen. Too bad that the marketing overlords choose what is good and what is not good for us.
Thanks about the shift info. I did not know about it as i said in my previous comment. Now about the paying-slashdotters idea i disagree. When there is a free alternative and a non free what do you think someone will try to use? And i agree that it was worth the price although i did not pay for it being a student with very low income.
I believe that opera is not very popular now because of decisions they made in the past, some of which have not changed up to now. To be more specific when the need of a new browser rose since Internet Exploder stalled, there were two options available for the WinPC platform: Opera and Firefox. Back then Opera had features that Firefox never dreamed of and an amazing eyecandy interface. But it had the biggest minus one such thing could have. You had to pay for it or else you would surf having an annoying advertisement bar hovering all over the place. The second wrong decision which in the beginning was not so important but as firefox started to improve seemed more and more visible was the combination of open source/extensibility. At the moment there are addons in firefox not so important for my browsing experience but useful nonetheless such as weatherfox. Not to talk about extensions which really improve one's browsing experience such as noscript.
At the end of the day one can conclude that Opera while pioneer in browsing platform lost the momentum to firefox when world's biggest internet market - WinPC - demanded something new. I hope for the sake of users that Opera will not do the same mistake, since we need Opera to be around with all the great features they keep inventing. (My self i use Firefox over Opera for almost one reason. The ability to select piece of text, right click on it, select search with google and firefox opens a new tab for the search instead of the same)
And to continue a bit your thought
***SPOILER ***
If they continue the story from when the series finished perhaps they will add their child to the story. The alliens were continuously chasing Scully to kill their child while she was carrying it so she gave him for adoption to save his life. Maybe they will change the time to 2012 were the apocalypse is bound to happen while Maulder's and Dana's child will be the main character of the movie and the one who will save the world...
I would like to add that if prophet Mohamed encouraged the attacking of other religions then he wouldn't issue an order of non-attack for st. Catherine's monastery at mount sinai. He also signed the order using his palm since he did not know to write. It's a great experience for the Christian s to pay a trip to this monastery and among other things see the order prementioned.
Tried to access my Windows XP installation (NTFS) - still can't get it read/write even with NTFS-3G, but I'm not bothered anymore Have you tried ntfsmount? I am using it at home(read/write) and if i recall correctly it is part of ntfstools.
As far as i know MAC is using gcc for program compilation. If this is correct then what bothers me is why gaming companies don't compile the source code with gcc in Linux? I don't think that it would through many errors, and these errors would be corrected fast enough...

Out of topic but can you please use full stop next time? I really had hard time reading your post. Halfway through I just couldn't continue.

Disclaimer:I'm a mmo pvp die-hard, which is why I stayed away from that game.
So you are an mmo pvp die-hard and you don't play Warhammer. What game do you play then?
By the way one could say that Warhammer is an MMORPG not an MMO. There is difference between those two genres.
VMWare Player is already free but not opensource.

I did not know about that and i couldn't find about that.
So does Firefox. But as far as i know Opera does not offer advanced management as Noscript. Also Noscript was an example. Another example is Adblock.
