Maybe colleges should get a friggin' radio station! Oh. Many already have radio stations.
1. Radio stations have tiny royalty payments.
2. Internet jukebox-style radio stations (pick and play) would have huge royalty payments. (see Bill of Rights Ammendment 14, equal protection under the law)
3. So, what it they used wireless transport to make a college jukebox internet radio station? Hmm...
Surely the author jests! Look at your Windows Applications with the date showing and you'll see that they don't write to themselves. But don't those Win apps all have some sort of 'ini' file which DOES get written to, and then left open when the app crashes?. Don't those Win people have apps that will permit them to edit ini files?
And the author's techniques do not apply to Macs or Linux. Obviously the author is merely a journalist, and not a computer expert.
We're talking about a criminal act here. If you choose to handle it this way on your own, and it comes out that you were covering for this sicko, you're an accessory to the crime.
Removing the material from this person's hard drive would not be criminal. It would be the right thing to do because kiddie porn is immoral!
I used to work at a small daily newspaper and I remember this horrible case where a little 3 year old girl was kidnapped, raped, tortured and then killed. They caught the guy after a lengthy investigation. When he committed the murder, he had been out of prison for less than a month. Sex criminals get worse in prison, not better. Prisons aren't making kiddie porn go away, are they?
As far as the example of finding kiddie porn on somebody's computer, a sincere face-to-face with the person who collected it, telling them honestly that their desires that they're feeding are not healthy, causing them personal embarassment by looking them in the eye and saying that you know what they are doing, telling them that they're facing ruin, and telling them that innocent kids are being exploited against their will would be very powerful.
I don't depend on 'authorities' to make this world a better place. The way this world gets better is if people take direct action when they see somebody else fucking up like that -- even if it is giving the guy a black eye, like others suggested.
Authorities are only a representative of society, but each individual is also a representative of society. Society makes the real rules when it comes to morality, right and wrong, not politicians.
I would simply talk to the person that had porn on their computer, delete their porn and tell them to go see a shrink. Sheesh, do people really think that bosses and police are the solution to the problem of kiddie porn?
Are we becoming good little nazis who spy on each other and use punishment and revenge as the first resort?
Aqua is the most dog-slow, RAM-hungry POS in existence. I've always considered it the biggest *problem* with using OS X, since you can't use OS X without having to have this huge beast bogging down your machine.
I was a NeXTStep user in the early 90s and loved it. Fast forward to 2003. I recently got fully OSX'ed and think this new NeXTStep is a severly dumbed down and spray-painted and obfuscated Frankenstein.
I suppose Carbon was needed because none of the corporate commercial software houses would port anything to Cocoa, but the result is shameful.
TROLL! Mommy, mommy!!!! Master Bait said something bad about OSX!!!

That's right. GCC is BUG FREE and if your software doesn't compile, it's because of your crappy code!
They could sue SCO for fraud, and thus force SCO's hand with respect to actually producing evidence of copyright infringement. In the absence of any docemented evidence of infringement, they can force an immediate injunction against further SCO public blowhardiness.
I'm kinda surprised that IBM hasn't countersued SCO with a similar method.
You need an old Athlon to pull off that FUD stunt. You also need to be deaf, so that you can ignore the wailing beep-beep-beep as the high CPU temp trips the warning.
Very strange, this Mac hardware situation. You can get a 'regular' Radeon 8500, but you need to burn it's ROM with a Mac ROM.
I recently got an Adaptec SCSI card for the Mac. Doesn't work under OSX, because the card isn't a PowerDomain (Mac ROMmed) high-priced model, but the card works perfectly under the Linux AIC7xx driver. I have no idea how difficult it would be to port Linux drivers to Darwin.
if they want to take responsibility for aligning their IT strategy to their business objectives, or their systems provider's.
Damn, that's a great answer.
I'd also think there's a lot of holes in management's touted '24/7' outside software support requirement. Perhaps their are specialists that provide telephone support for many open source projects, but when I need support, I ALWAYS use groups.google.com and/or plain old google.com. And I have found the answers I need, open OR proprietary software.
Here's another approach to the corporate desktop: Each seat is allocated $450 per year for software costs. At the end of each year, the seat-user gets a check for the amount of money remaining in the per-seat account. How long do you think it would take Linux to become #1 then?
The DMCA is an American law. The rest of the world will make reverse-engineered drivers, if necessary, while the Americans cower in their safe corporate state.
This bug is not restricted to their browser, but the library used by all ms applications that render html. If you send an email as text to anyone using an ms email reader, or post to usenet as text and the message begins with , the html library will attempt to render it.
That may have never come off of their LSD trip and now live in a scary world filled with a conspiracy theory involving some kind of experiment being performed on him. This happened to him roughly 28 years after taking a few hits...
Ahh... another victim of the War on Drugs. Forget the 'permanent damage' FUD for a moment and get some competent treatment for your father.
It is a bit sad that so many have 'just said no' to LSD and have never experienced, never fully felt the reality of their place in existence. Never deeply cognited that they're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.
Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.
The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.
You think so? The thin client mindset assumes the server and all networking runs smoothly, against the risk of a single major point of failure.
And what if the server and the network does run smoothly? Almost all workgroups of autonomous computers depend on one or more file servers for company data. How often does the fileserver go down?
Also people cant do things like copying CDs unless the server is really idle and networking runs on gigabit ethernet.
Traffic shaping is supported in the Linux kernel to prevent any process (such as copying a large set of files) from monopolizing ethernet packet queue.
Sure you could netboot any OS, but Ive changed my OS quite frequently, wouldnt want to bother the nice sysadmin while he is figuring out how to setup the system to use a new terminal with different hardware.
Once a sysadmin figures out how to set up one terminal, figuring out how to set up another is usually a lot easier. If using pxelinux, all you need to do is make another file in/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg named after the MAC address containing the name of which kernel to boot, and add another entry for the MAC in the/etc/dhcpd.conf.
I don't have any experience with Citrix or Windows terminal services, but from what I do know, the cost of licenses added to the cost of the terminals makes them more expensive than an autonomous computer with Win preinstalled, right?
