yea, well, rivers at one point had a lot more water in them when the climate was radically different - not to mention the sharp decrease in water levels as humans started drastically altering the landscape. I've seen the stream in our vally drop more that 6 inches (30cm) in the last 20 years alone.
The project is a bit far fro my immediate scope - but is teh system compatible with non-gregorian calendar systems? I know most of peopel from live the Gregorian way, but there are a few of us that use something different - like the 13-moon calendar that the planet acutally functions on - not some arbitrary separations of nomenclature.
13 moon positions and 20 sun positions over 13 moon cycles that are each 28 days in length. Which also happens to be the cycle which most females who are 'regular' have their menstruation periods by. This was the calendar system of the Mayans and happens to be the only system which acurately measures the procession of the Equinoxes - which has a much larger periodicity than most people think about....
the next step for it will be that you'll have to create a passport account when you first start usingthe computer and login to the machine itself with it. The browser will pick up the rest and key every file you create with it to fingerprint every created document.
Welcome to Microsoft - would you like it long or chubby?
O.K. So some of them (no/weak passwords) are user related, but so many of them are admin related (bind vulnerabilities, IIS RDS vulnerabilities)
well - in theory admin problems should be the only holes. the software should be able to be configured in a manner that is 'completely secure' (as far as anything can be). Programs shouldn't be insecure because of programming faults - only insecure becasue they're not configured properly.
speaking of security problems - has anyone thought of/made a version of code red/etc that goes around and downloads the security patches and the resends itself?
It's a heritage thing - Linux came from *nix. It's like getting a good job to find that you've forced your father into unemployment. Mybe the old-skool gurus need to be 'retired' to some kind of administration/etc of such larger
this is what porn sites do all the time - it's nothing new - it's just interesting to see a mainstream site do it. (but wil a mojority of web-traffic being porn i guess porn is the majority, isn't it? ).
either way - if you read salon that much you probably ought to caough in a few dollars as it is.
you're assumption that only 'lower-class' individuals use narcotics or play pool is ridiculous. Billiards, if you remember, was and is a rich-man's game. If you don't see it as such maybe it's because you're getting a different end of the stick then you'd imagined. And, every segemnt of the population has their drugs, every person finds need to distract themselves at some point or they explode. How do you do it - do you smoke a J, watch television, or go to church? Strip clubs i'll passingly give you - but i know people with non-destitute salaries that frequent clubs.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think this would be such a bad idea. As Ellison said in the article, all we would be giving up is the "illusion" that we can't be tracked
perhaps you're missing the point that the main arguement here is still against it's mandatory instatement. at this point in time a SSN is the US is still not mandatory. If you're born in a hospital (gasp, some people aren't) the hospital automatically fills out and files the SSN request form for you - and even if you ask them not to it's so difficult for some people to imagine that they may still send it in anyway.
'course, my personal opinion (at the moment) is that much of the current U.S. trend is to attack the Amish...
You know, that wasn't even really that creative - and your imitation of the dialect wasn't that good either. If you're going to take the time to be a racist fuck, at least have the decency to be funny at it. Maybe that's 'the problem' - black people are a lot better at making fun of white people than white people are at making fun of black people
why not just ignore that part of the EULA (or all of it =P) - i mean, what are they going to do, sue you? There's no way they could win *It's Unconstitutional*
stop paying attention to bad laws - they only distract you fromt he real problems going on
