I am using a sequence of three different spam filtering tools. Spamassassin, my custom spam filter and Yahoo spam blocking. These three catch around 200 messages a day, but I still get some 5 spam pieces a day and some of them are NASTY. Even with the turned off graphics and not downloading any pictures not included as attachment you cannot avoid it 100%. I seriously wish there would be a law against forging email headers with the same punishment as other false identity crimes. Thats all I ask for. If you wish to remain annonymous, you should be able to, but your message should be clearly marked as such and I should be able to filter it, if I decide so.
Actually, I am conservative, just critical of current government at times, thanks for asking.
Meanwhile, words "Negative, Neutral and Positive" were to explain the emotional spin (charge) of the words, with them being negative, neutral and positive respectively. I guess I was not clear enough.
As for the other three words, I put them down as example for emotionaly charged words for 'a person who kills others to advance a cause'. You can put bad or good spin on any word, regardless of its meaning. Apparently, as Goebels proved, even attrocide and genocide can be positivel charged in communication.
I was reacting to your strong opposition to a word Nazi, while you would quite clearly not mind calling yourself a Patriot. All I was tryint to imply, that at the core, meaning sets of these two words intersects in over 80% and most of the difference between them is in their emotional charge.
I would not stand for anyone to call me either. Because I simply do not represent such view or behaviour. So before you will be so quick to fend from people calling you 'Nazi', try to ask yourself if you don't exhibit such behaviour or views.
And please, DO NOT call me anything even similar to Dumbya, since that word is reserved for a very special person. Actually, you could refrain from all the ad hominem arguments and other falacies in the discussion.
I don't get your anger? Do you enjoy to be called a Patriot? Most Republicans do. Well, I have a surprise for you. Nazism, Nationalism and Patriotism are three synonyms that differ only in emotional conotation of the word. Negative, neutral and positive. Its like 'Murderer', 'Soldier', 'Liberator'. Same thing, just different spin.
How could anyone mod this babbling idiot as Insightful? Seriously? The USA as of today are going so far AWAY from Socialism, its not even pretty. Its marching right wing at full speed!
Now if you said, US goverment is showing signs of totalitarian regime and enacting new mesures giving it powers equal to some of the totalitarian regimes and that at the scale and resources available to the government, this is very scary, you should have been mod up as Insightful and Informative.
Here's something to think about, the Oracle offer may be a cheap move by Oracle, it may also be a symptom of PeopleSoft's vulnerability.
It might be also a result of Oracle hiring recently that a software analyst that watched PeopleSoft for Morgan Stanley for years.
It might be also result of a question in Larry's recent (2-4 weeks) performance, which touched the subject and reminded him that PeopleSoft refused his polite offer a year ago. He does not like a 'no' for an answer.:)
Well, if you are talking about the community contributions, Oracle is heavily pushing clustering support for Linux. They are doing everything possible to make Linux clusters a perfect replacement of your big unix iron. The linux porting group in Oracle is growing way too fast and quite a lot of their work is on the kernel and libraries and is GPL'ed and contributed back to community either directly or in form of patches available on Oracle web. I'd say IBM is doing more to help Linux, but I am not sure about Sun. Really.
Besides, Ellison hates Gates. Its personal. So his support of Linux is very Slashdot-like.:)
Actually, its not that funny, its insightful. You encrypt the files you distribute with your own encryption schema. You will just not to choose to prosecute people breaking it. But if the MPAA comes to court, you point out that their obtained evidence illegally by breaking the encryption. So the DMCA actually should protect software/movie/music piracy.
Actually yes. The book does not describe any fight and the whole scene ends by Gandalf saying he knew, his words of resistance had no power. I don't have the original book in english to quote, though. The next he says is describing he was carried on the top of Orthanc. And he says 'They carried me', which would imply things.

I hate to disappoint, there was no fight between Saruman and Gandalf, providing you meant Saruman with 'Sauroman':) In case you meant Sauron, he never even got close to Gandalf. Read the book, man:)
All the fight between Saruman and Gandalf happened at the end of second book with Gandalf standing outside Orthanc, while Saruman being inside. It consisted from one staff being broken and one palantir thrown:))
You cannot make an encrypted disk, because your DVD-R player cannot write into the track 0 to write the CSS keys. So in order to copy the DVD you have to decrypt it.
Most of your points are pretty much irrelevant since they run Oracle 9i RAC on the top of these Linux Dells. The point being, you take away one of the nodes from the cluster, the database still running. Swap whatever you want, turn on, and it joins the cluster. No problem no expensive hardware solutions. That is the real money saver and what enables it. Its not that important how stable is any single of the machines (either OS or HW) since the whole system is fault tolerant beyong what Sun can even imagine.
Honestly, I know that a hand with burned skin makes people realize things quite fast (especially that they were stupid and this is not the way to go), but you could have made some pointer of what you did to avoid it next time in your post.:)
Hmmm, if you wouldn't be stupid, you would just take a bit of a standard catalyst (hypermangan - KMnO4 - come to mind) and put it in the water your rinsed it in. Well....

Hi, I am on H1b and all the points in their proposed reforms are either in the current laws already in even stricter form or (the change of limit from 195 000 to 65 000) bound to happen as some extensions expire soon. From reading the article they have absolutely no clue about both the current environment and the current laws. The limits of H1b visa are not even reached and in the current market is almost impossible for a company to obtain a DOL certification for their recruitment on the position anyway. This is just someone trying to solve problem that does not exist.
Maintenance cost of a car in US

Well, this will not help and the fuel efficiency of cars is not really a factor in US, because the cost of having a car is far higher than the cost of operating it. I didn't know this, until I came here and bought a car. I pay $300 a month in auto loan payments, $250 a month to insurance company (mostly for not having US drivers license for over 3 years) and under $50 for gas a month. Now that is 1/6 of the monthly cost of me having a car and driving daily. Honestly, I really really don't care, if I pay $580 or $620 instead. The difference is negligible.
Don't worry Jim. From what you write down, taste is the last thing that could be associated with you. Honest.:) I mean, black leath couch with glass table? Is there anything else that shouts more 'a geek lives here and BTW he happens to have some money...' Don't worry, you are still geek, just older:)
Oh yeah, thats such a piece of bull. I am on H1b and its like I would EVER get a chance for my job if I would not be BETTER than anyone who they could find locally. If there would be someone able to do my job, he would do it now and I would stay home, thats how it is.
Same with Microsoft. If they would be able to do their job, there would be no Linux and nobody would cry foul. But because they suck, there is a need for external help. And are they scared now when there is someone better around the corner? Hell yeah!:)
I had Nowell Notwork installed at our school and it was everything but living to its name. At the time when I started to play with the idea of Linux servers and kernel just got into 1.x, the Netware 3.11 server running there already had 2 years uptime.
And through the time I saw how Microsoft did everything possible to make sure they will not cooperate with Netware servers. All the time since the win95, they tried to kill them off. I remember the FUD they spread, and how they tried to brag with features that Netware had some 15 years before them.
I just wish, they have had better marketing. I'd NDS was way better than Active Directory and who ever forgot few years about their installed Netware servers, knows what it means reliable. Hopefully they will make a comeback in the small business once Microsoft monopoly breaks up.
