That is on of the most sensible solutions. All the others try to get you to wake up by doing something negative, but this one uses your own body to wake you wake up.
The other solution is even simpler: If you cant get up in the morning, set your alarmclock on your telly or 'puter and use it as a bedtime clock. Or just stay in bed untill you are awake.
The tragedy is that some idiot had a gun and very bad intentions. Not that soome technical detail was overlooked by an dead consumer. Reduce the availabilty of guns and the gun-related death go down. Reduce the notion that you can solve any problem with a gun and death rate goes down even more. Reduce the number of people that are in a situation where crime pays and again, crime goes down.
Sueing a phone company will not get her parents unshot. Maybe Vonage should not hire lawyers to defend against this nonsense, but hire the original murderer to shoot the girl and her lawyers too. Now that will set a precendent for ligitious bastard lawyers.
Ok the linked article is a bit misleading, or the explanation at the IBM site is not correct anymore.
This is the section How it works from the IBM site:
How does it work?
Technically, FairUCE tries to find a relationship between the envelope sender's domain and the IP address of the client delivering the mail, using a series of cached DNS look-ups. For the vast majority of legitimate mail, from AOL to mailing lists to vanity domains, this is a snap. If such a relationship cannot be found, FairUCE attempts to find one by sending a user-customizable challenge/response. This alone catches 80% of UCE and very rarely challenges legitimate mail. A future version will incorporate Sender Policy Framework (SPF) or similar sender identification systems; SPF-enabled domains will not require a challenge. Challenges are sent using a dedicated queue with a short lifetime so it does not get bogged down or interfere with legitimate mail.
If a relationship can be found, FairUCE checks the recipient's whitelist and blacklist, as well as the domain's reputation, to determine whether to accept, reject, challenge on reputation, or present the user with a set of whitelist/blacklist options. A future version will use a real domain reputation system; currently this is implemented as a "whois" look-up to determine the domain's age when it first sent mail to the recipient
I do not read spamming the sender here, only trying a challenge/response on probable spammers.
ok some gibberish about napoleon who was frensh, tha somehow translates to 'continental' europe, and then something about it arch-rival Germany. This all should prove that the frensh are what exactly?
I suspect some non-continental european is doing some trolling.
And Napolean on was a warmongering dictator, but also a very good statesman that left a very valuable legal legacy behind. And He learnd us to ride on the right side of the road!
Making fun of your prospective users is a good way to turn them off. Why should I care about a product that labels me 'whiner' when I am concerned about my software freedoms?
It was a good stunt that he snagged Linus/linux as a user/project, but in hindsight that was not the best move for Linux, IMHO.
The game of free software is played on merits, not restricting your users how they can use the software. a BSD client does not mean much when the server is not free too.

" kde needs to fix this problem, not a workaround. Not for me because I don't care anymore. For others, especially newbies."
Yes and the catholics need to love the protestants, and the linux need to fix their installion scripts.
If you cannot even mention the distro/version you were running and how you got kde on it, why should anybody take you serious. You are just trying to get people to get angry at you for being hardheaded.
If your rescue tools are good enough for it, why not use it for daily work too? Just install a base system on it, copy some config that you already have collected at boot and apt-get or yum the whole shebang over the network. yoou need some magic to make sure the users files are not hosed in the process.
Does anybody know Free Software for the next step after restoring: educating the user? Just something that grabs the cursor and keyboard events and won't let go until they have given the correct answers in some basic security training?

Women Leaving I.T.

IT would not be the only sector where women are less succesfull at getting to higher ranker positions. When push comes to shove, it's the lower ranking employees who get fired first. Not because the are more expensive to the company (because they are not but because they have less clout to defend their jobs. Whimpy nerds too get fired sooner than masculine bigmouthed moneyguzzlin managers. If you still think it is because of pure sexism, think again. I think it is because the selection favours masculine behaviour, not males themselves.
And to put things in more perspective: I prefer Female managers over Male ones. I am very sexist at that because I think women have generaly more empathy and people skills, things a good manager needs.
As for masculine behaviour: would posting your holy opinion on slashdot be typical masculine or typical feminine behaviour? So why are there so little women here?...

- but the average *law abiding* citizen without. How is this a good thing?
Well, for one thing Joe schmoe can't shoot me or his wife when he is drunk and angry. For another, Joe Schmoe's uzi he needed for protecting the secret about his litlle willy cannot be stolen by said criminals.
Really? You are sending manure over the postal system for free? Well In that case what do I have to do to get you to send some fertilizer my way? I' really love to see tou pony up the dough for some silly trolling.
And to pay for it I say this: It really does not amaze me that you'd pay for something as unproductive as that, as you are paid to be unproductive. You are not capable of any coherent thougth so you country wisely decided to intern you in one of their large scale asylums. That you call it 'army' does not mean that it keeps you off the street. If your ranks grow too much you id10t dictator decides to star another war to get enough of you killed. Face it, you are a liability.
Now does that pay for you going to shit in a box, tape it up, go to the postoffice and pay to have send overseas? please?
Even if no one actually checked if people were stealing, it still provided a deterrant for people who might be thinking about shoplifting. The average shoplifter doesn't know that most things aren't checked, so seeing someone at the door checking things might persuade them into not stealing.
Hmmm, sure you need your own justification if you do pointless work, but I think there might be some holes in your theory.
Underestimating the skills of 'the average shoplifter' will make sure that you only will catch those who have indeed little skill in shoplifting. The scam from a while back where the thieves put different barcodes on expensive items would certainly not get caught, and I am sure there are countless others. In the meantime your have subjected all your customers, of whom the vast majority is an honest paying cutomer, to a degrading pointless ceremony. If those people had a choice they would not come back there (unless they are hapless indoctrinated american sheep that think that that is 'normal,' to them I say: Baaahhh!)
I didn't notice the troll rating until i hit reply. Since I have this bucket of bile waiting i'll respond anyway:
police and firemen i have no objections to, but praising soldiers as hero's goes way too far.
Why would some dumbass that could not find a proper job, singns up for the money and gets blown up in a country that his president needed invaded be a hero? To me he still is a dumbass that deserved what he signed for.
Offcourse a software developed pales in comparison to someone that risks his own life out of altruism to save that of an unrelated person. But the world does not need every person to be a hero. Hero's are very sparse, and for a good reason: You don't want the situations that define/make a hero happen all the time.
Yes, I am anti-american and I don't support any war whatsoever. If you mod me down for that you just show the sorry state your country is in.
That gives me the right to lauugh in your faces for not doing anything about it. 40% of you voted your gouvernement in power (or was it 30%, the rest could not be bothered to vote). Now learn up on how you can influence your gouvernment and do it! write to congres(wo)men, vote for parties that favour election reform. It is the only chance you have.
history-tools, that is. But most people want more than an archive what stupid mistakes they have made over and over. Sometimes you want to restrict who can do what, by using specific roles in the project, So your youngest intern may be able to check out the code and develop a change to it, but he may not check that change directly into the baseline. You als need to assure his change does not break other stuff, makes mistakes others have allready made.
In ohter words, you need aegis for that. Have a look at it at here. You will like it if you are serious at software development for more that trivial programs.

Distribution of boxes with hot air is always limited to geographic markets, so maybe you cannot get this game in your country.
Acquire: try to acquire a mayoraty steak in companies you found en merge based on tiles on a board. Bit much randomness, but a fun game with red ears.
Database latency does not depend on raw computational power, but it does depend on data thoughtput, ie disk seek times (and good indexes!).
