How many city, county, and state government agencies are switching to gmail?
My local college and my school district is...all public institutions.
Do you have proof she didn't use her State of Alaska system for official business? Is it possible she just used whatever account she had handy to get work done? Or that yahoo had better up-time than her exchange box (or whatever AK uses)?
Something "dodgy is going on" only because you don't like her. You don't like republicans, and you've got a chip on your shoulder. No "of course" about it.
Its funny how I keep hearing about "troopergate" with Palin. I would think the leftists would pick a different name
Of course, French kids...in between surfing porn and preening their myspace pages...appreciate the open-source and GNU philosophy on a much deeper level than YOU do.
So, Europeans avoid "Vendor Lockin" by ensuring the VAR channel oligopoly? lolwut?
I was simply talking about companies like Dell who simply needed an EXCUSE to avoid fulfilling warranty obligations. There were several cases where Dell owners (other OEM's did this too, i'm not picking on Dell exclusively.) put a Linux/GNU Linux/BSD/etc on, only to find their warranties voided...only a few who fought loud enough got service. And these were the days before most OEM's sold systems with FOSS OS's.
You are right, it really came down to service employees unable to trouble-shoot 37 distros over the phone and Dell et al trying to save a few bucks.
My point is: to the business-volks, marketroids, and hot-buttered soccer moms out there, something like this doesn't sound good.
It doesn't matter how many devices might be broken by Windows, how poorly the firmware was engineered, or anything else. Expect the "Linux voids warranties" idea to gain a little steam out of this. Hopefully not much.
So, we can just list any protocol-over-protocol and call that...what?
On your list alone, how many of them are TCP, IP, and UDP? Doesn't matter if there run on top of another layer or simply encapsulated by another protocol, if someone says there's a big hole in TCP...lets not cry about the TCP monoculture. It has nothing to do with monoculture.
Sometimes, a can-skinning standard is the best way to skin the cat. Sorry if that creates a cat-skinning monoculture.
The whole monoculture thing is a stupid argument. If a CSS rendering flaw shows up in the language standard, you could hear MS go "ha ha" cause their "make my own standard" sidestepped the monoculture.
And you left out Infinite Monkey Protocol Suite, which could be run over PPPoE.
No matter HOW efficient car racing gets, it is still 100% waste.
Don't get me wrong: most hobbies, including mine, are a waste of energy. Rather, I / someone gets enjoyment in return for the energy expenditure...but in the end, little / no actual work is done.
Even if a NASCAR race can be done with 1 gallon of gas...in the end, 1 gallon is gone, and all the cars are where they started.
I'd like to point out that the US involvement in Vietnam was started under a Democrat.
I'd like to also remind you that Somalia was under a Democrat. Oh, and there was Bosnia, et al.
Oh... I know. How about all the leftist regimes of modern history? Red China, the Nazis, the Soviet Union, North Korea, the Fascists (the real ones, not the insult variety)...yep...From Gov't control of all commerce (fascism), to government control of wealth (socialism) to government control of everything (communism)...oh yeah, the left wing agenda puts the fun in Fundamental Totalitarianism.
Don't get me wrong: Thomas Jefferson wouldn't piss on today's Republicans if they were on fire.... but I think it's cute how you think Democrats are perfect. (:
What good is a phone call...if youâ(TM)re unable to speak?
I'm glad someone has 6.8 Mbs...just hope they don't actually use it. DPI, caps, throttling....these speeds only apply if you use them for services the telco wants you to use them on.
Millions in gov't subsidies and right-of-ways thru your property and all I got was this lousy duopoly.
but seriously, just because you disagree with someone doesn't make them a troll. slashdot "troll" and "flamebait" are just mod-point sensoring. I'll call it a/. takedown.
Ummm..in the FLDS world, extra wives (they call them "blessings") are assigned by the church hierarchy (like Warren Jeffs ) based on political reliability and adherence to the community/religious rules. Wealth is also a factor, but in the FLDS worl, wealth is ALSO partially a f(x) of those same things.
I live in Southern Utah. I see polyg's ("puh-lig") every week at Walmart.
They live longer because they work hard, eat well, and don't watch much TV.
TV is the source of gov't manipulation, and by extension, satan. And while polyg's don't mind defrauding the welfare system and getting money FROM the gov't, they distance themselves thoroughly from gov't control.
They also have the most well-behaved kids you will EVER see in a Walmart. Make Hamish kids look like the Courtney Love.
Well, the only time NPR doesn't simply broadcast "Barrack Obama. Barrack Obama. Barrack Obama. Barrack Obama." is during donation/membership drive time...
To tell you the truth...I'd rather listen to the pledge drive.

Will the right-wing treachery know no bounds?
fascism is a type of socialism! how can someone as smart as you not get that??

Remember how everyone on /. called bullshit?
This doesn't look good for our cause.
Next you'll be telling us that new improvements in tape mean non-sequential access, and RW speeds 5x faster than current NAND.
Call me when punch cards support DRM.

Web browsers are a good example of NOT a monoculture. Where almost nothing is really 100% cross-browser compatible.
We should all use 150 different standards when we transmit IP datagrams... nothing will get anywhere, but at least it won't be a monoculture.
Most of our medical trauma information, techniques, and technology today come from the military's lessons in battlefield medicine.
Considering how many people are alive today thanks to soldiers bleeding to death in the back of an FLA going to the BSA...etc.
Just cause a kid breaking a window makes work for the window maker doesn't mean it's not a waste.

Here is some more info.
The idiom is "intents and purposes".
Now if we can just stop all the xss. Now it's just xss 20-40 times faster (in certain contexts).
Actually, if JS gets fast enough, it could rival Flash. This is a good thing.

The Wizard of Oz was a populist allegory about staying with the gold standard (yellow brick road, Oz (ounce), etc.)
Cause every time a Cuban gets his hands on a boat, he ends up in Florida. Ba-dump-bump!
You are right...Ars Technica has an article about it.
I'm sure there will be some accidental ship-anchor-cable-cutting to be completed in 2011.
On a related note, they will attack the M Hole next... with content so lame that you won't remember it.
To tell you the truth...I'd rather listen to the pledge drive.
