I'd like to get FreeBSD going on my laptop but I've had trouble with the cardbus ethernet adapters. Can anyone recommend a 16 Bit PCMCIA ethernet for use with FreeBSD? Too bad there are no sites like Linux-Laptop for BSD. As far as BSD dying, spend some time dealing with various non-responsive Linux package maintainers and then say who is dead.
Tell that to bands like Metallica... the Grateful Dead.. bands who forced the industry to recognize them because of their popularity. Some people earn it because of actual talent and hard work, and don't have it all just handed to them.
$3,900.00 US, I could buy a couple of really good backup guitars, and also have the advantage of being able to change guitars for different tone options. Hell, I could even buy a Van for my band to carry all our stuff in. Unless you are bloody rich like the people endorsing the product, you probably don't need it. Most people sound like crap wether they are in tune or not anyway. Save your money.
I understand, but without seeing pictures I just assumed the lander for a rover would be more equipped to house, protect or even maintain and repair the rover for an extended duration of study. I mean, when you watch alien movies, they always send out scouts and then return to the saucer to do their thing:) Owell... I wish it luck in the roving anyway.
Prior to posting I did not realize that this plan would increase the resolution of infrared cameras that can detect minerals from a distance. I still wonder though if they can do that to an extent, but then return to the lander to take refuge?
I see all these posts talking about the lander, but then actually talking about the rover. The CNN story discusses that the rover is rolling off the lander. This would imply that the rover and the lander are 2 different things right? Anyway what I was wondering is if it would be a plausible idea to use the "lander" and airbags as a garage for the rover to take refuge against the weather to preserve it for a longer stay on the red planet. I think that it would be more interesting to see how long we could keep it up there and actually put it to some kind of use instead of driving it towards some hills until it dies. To me, that just seems kind of boring and a waste.
I was told by a fellow band member that a local club owner was approached by a man with a briefcase claiming to be from the RIAA or some related organization, and that he visited them to deliver a warning which amounted to... If you guys book bands with cover songs, I'm here to tell you that there will be legal action involved. We questioned other club owners in the area, and they either deny or have no knowledge of any such threats. It was only this one place that this occurred. At first I thought it was a bogus story, but this kind of makes me wonder now.
To the rest of the bunch when one of the apples goes bad? *rimshot*
Seriously though, I would have seen this as bigger news if it would be possible to afford more than one apple on my wages. Anyway, I figure this would be an appropriate thread to rant about my friend. He's always hounding me about how hot the macs are in the studio, and that they use protools on these mac servers and trying to explain to me what "better quality" audio they produce, and how all the studios are using macs now.....
I didn't bail out of P2P because of the RIAA. I bailed out because of cable prices I can't afford in this economy. That, and I got pretty much everything I wanted from Napster before they pulled the plug. For a lot of people I know, it was just a fad. Theres only one person out of the people I know who fileshare who has even mentioned the RIAA to me, and he's still up.

In the three years I have been working with CR systems I have heard this argument hundreds of time. It is however a valid concern, and here is my response. Use flood protection on challenge responses to prevent using CR systems as a mailbomb attack. Earthlink (my only corporate example of this spam prevention method) does this. Any system can be exploited if you are lax on security. Yes there is an amount of overhead but by nullifying the usefulness of spam completely on a global level the network activity would actually be reduced greatly. The autoreplies can have filters applied to them to prevent you from getting ones you shouldn't be getting. This will work one day when people will wake up and realize it is possible, quit being scared of tackling real problems, and stop bandaiding the problem with pattern filters.
I know they modded this as funny but it brings up a serious question regarding challenge response systems. How can two people with challenge response systems communicate without bouncing autoreplies back and forth forever. This question was answered me in so many words by someone from Earthlink in a previous slashdot article about Earthlink implementing a CR based spam prevention system. Send CR mails using a null envelope and (at least temporarily) whitelist addresses you send to and this problem will be prevented.
Amen. My company just started using spamassassin for email filtering. The thing is they consider it an "acceptable level of risk", and that the incredible flood of spam just can't be tolerated anymore. Hope the mail that they DO lose isn't a really important one that costs the company big bucks. Personally I don't have any problems removing spam. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it. Whitelists and challenge response are the future of email. Yeah people may hate the hassle, but they hate voicemail options too and that is the most effective on telephone.

I think they hide all the trolls there.
Terrans always forget their upgrades don't they? I guess it doesn't matter in this case, since any strategy will work on a money map.

The United States is actually planning to bomb heaven. Mars exploration is just a coverup.

But what about the contractors on the death star?
