in this post-modern society, i thought it was wrong to attack anyones bullshit beliefs. Gay is ok, Islam is protected, you can do whatever you want, thats the beauty. "It's all good."
Scientologists can believe whatever they want. Attacking their beliefs is the same as attacking Mormons, Jews, Muslims, Budhists, what ever. There's no universal right or wrong in a post-modern world.
Before you all scream that scientology is different, remember that the ONLY difference is when the leader/crackpot was born. L Ron Hubbard, Joe Smith, etc.... Just cause they came along in the 50's doesn't mean their bullshit is any less "sacred" than Catholic Bullshit.
To be fair, no religion should get tax-exempt status.
Most of your commercial flight activity is controlled by computers already. You think the pilots moving the sticks REALLY equates to aircraft control? The pilots tell the computers where to fly the plane, the computers handles all the control surfaces.
Once upon a time, telecommunications were handled by humans creating dedicated circuits. Now, computers switch and route packets around the world with orders-of-magnitude better efficiency. Computers are just better suited to the arcane job of object management and routing.
You obviously don't understand the socialist agenda of Puget Sound Elite. Could they do without the tax? Sure, but then more people are have to work. Won't someone think of the methlabs???
So you are taking your ball and going home? You assume the TSA cares if you fly. Their just checking their blocks like most gov't agencies. Like most employees the world over, just doing what the boss wants until they can clock out and call it a day.
Please tell us all how you would make air travel safe and convenient.
Could you please point me to the data or scholarly journal article that states that EMS personnel are likely to have mental disorders and addictions? More likely than say, office workers, construction workers, food-service industry personnel, or perl hackers?
Man! You just stated what I've been trying to tell people for years!
When someone says "x costs y z dollars per t"...who cares? Sucks to be y. Just means someone didn't have to spend z dollars on y's bullshit. Or n got z dollars.
Can companies legally collude together to artificially inflate the cost of goods? Merchandise a companies is a property, labor is an employee's property, and everyone is entitled to trade properties and realize maximal benefit. Socialism seldom benefits from the "invisible hand" you were alluding to. Don't like what they are paying? Don't work for them.
What every union supporter fails to realize is that labor is a cost just like everything else. To the worker, it's a paycheck. To the employer, it's a cost.
As such, labor is subject to market forces like competition. Americans felt entitled to fifty bucks an hour to put tires on Cadillacs because the unions said they could...and uh oh! Outsourcing.
Unions, pricing themselves right out of the market. U2 hypocritical? Maybe, but they are making music to make a profit, they aren't unicef.
Much more relevant is the fact that U2 music sucks.
I'm fairly certain that Thomas Jefferson would have applied the same ideas to any technology. Even if it is "a phone, a computer, an internet communications device". Maddox
Americans have consistently traded freedom for security (and nowdays, convenience). In America, laws make YOU!
Any slashdotter will tell you that Windows is bloated. Are you claiming that most Linux distros have superfluous software that doesn't need to be there? Even worse than windows?
AFAIK, server-side IP-logging one of the few ways to maintain stateful web sessions without cookies.
This idea would kind of guarantee that cookies have no competition.
Sucks if you are an ISP. You buy a block of IP's but you can't use them...they are someone elses personal info?/. assigned me a user ID number....I believe that number properly belongs to slashdot. gandhi_2 though...I stole that from Wierd Al.
Let big business pay for the privilege of using our spectrum. This is a good way to raise revenue without raising taxes. I would argue that we don't charge enough for spectrum. It's our most renewable resource.
This isn't the ANWR drilling we are talking about dude. What do you want, lowest bidder? Seriously, you are king of the world...how would you handle this?
I reallllly hate Apple Corp. I hate everything they've done so far, including pretending to be grass-roots hippies and leftists just to sell overpriced machines to artists.
But after reading all that Code Signing stuff at from apple, it seams that all need to sign your own code is a cirtificate from verisign (et al.) and go through a signing assistant process.
Since dtrace didn't REALLY come from apple, you can go get your own copy of the code and sign it up.
I do have a question though. Since all the fan-boys so proudly exclaim "os x is Unix, it's even got the certificate!!!" like a bunch of drones...if future versions of os x have mandatory certificated code requirements, will that break POSIX?
Large for-profit software giants must constantly make product to stay in business, pay programmers, and make profit...even if there's nothing REALLY to fix. Just make upgrades...sell new versions.
Consumers and businesses are constantly put on an upgrade-treadmill as older products are purposely torpedoed...even when they worked fine and did the job they needed to do.
now replace "for-profit software giants" with "design-by-committee standards organization" and "stay in business, pay programmers, and make profit" with "stay in charge and not have to get real jobs".

Please turn in your geek card on the way out.
it helps to have something people want. Realplayer? Go ahead, kill the hostage.
That's what you think. I'm working on a scalable multi-thread port of Storm Worm. Check out our site at http://sourceforge.net/
out of the box linux? Is there really such a thing? Ubuntu OEM, knoppix? That's a pretty wide range here.
As was found in the case of Finders v. Keepers (1998), you could release said code under the GNU Lesser Bit Torrent Licence.
Technically, an infinite number of monkeys bashing on keyboards WOULD be engineering.

Then how come GIMP is the standard of the digital photography world? Huh? Huh smart guy? Oh, wait.

The fact that the personalities do the pitches, and they aren't screeming about hotdogs at the monstertruck show, doesn't mean NPR doesn't cary ads.

You know..someone should have patented the web browser. As a requirement to license the name "web browser" you could have to agree to standards.
Then Microsoft could call IE a "microsoft browser" instead of "web browser" and everyone would be happy.
Firefox doesn't either.
