The fact that people are willing to buy animals instead of adopt plays a big part in the equation. Not to mention all the crap you have to do to adopt a pet from some organizations - it'd be enough to turn me away.
One such organization requires you to sign a contract stating you won't do things like remove your cat's claws, even though they've already mutilated your pet's genitals (in many cases WAY before they're supposed to - we're talking very young kitten age). Those people are truly insane, and would turn me to a pet store in no time.
Indeed. It's been the other way around for me. I mean, it's not like I haven't been employed, but there has definitely been a theme of "You're too young to be of use to us" throughout my life, not only in IT.
Hard to feel sorry for older folks who are getting the same treatment... but it is wrong, either way.
'course, ageism exists all over the place, and is very well established, and probably won't go away. Just look at car insurance.
I'm going to assume that you allow access to 1433/1434 from at least *some* hosts.
So, you just have to hack those hosts, and then you're in.
Fireawlls are not the answer, really.. they mask problems. Firewalls should be the very last step in your security initiative.
Of course, I'll get replies to this about how this is just how it is done - well, too bad - it's not the best way to go and if you don't know it, you should.:)
Last mile's worth a lot. Look what it's got us so far with POTS:
Voicemail/answering machines to pick up while we're out BBSs to chat with other folks Faxes to get documents sent to us very near "instantly" Internet access to do all of the above and more
Replace a phone line with a dedicated Internet connection and the hermits are no worse off.
Yep. A lot of the people that do this work for companies that make more money per day per server than the server actually cost to build - so the extra initial cost for the faster CPU is barely noticed.
Right. We're all dupes. The small percentage of the market that would adopt your mythical "well-thought out 64-bit design" would not be dupes. They'd be in a completely different boat than say... those that bought Be Boxes. Sure.
What boggles the mind is that the HTTP spec uses text dates for cookies and such, instead of seconds-since-epoch-UTC. Why they wanted servers and browsers to have to waste cycles generating text dates is beyond me...
Don't put up dynamicly generated content without adding protections that automatically replace dynamic content with updated-once-per-minute static content when traffic becomes prohibatively high.
In fact, it's a global world. I'd love to see UTC adopted universally (heh, er, worldly!). When I bring it up to my co-workers, they just look at me like I'm crazy though.;)
Yeah really.. damn those facts. Like the fact that the WIPO site mentions nothing about cola specifically. Or the fact that I wasn't talking about Coke being generic but COLA - coke being a flavor of cola (referred to as Coca Cola or Coke for short). Coca:FreeBSD::Pepsi:Linux, Coca and Pepsi being flavors of Cola, FreeBSD and Linux being flavors of Unix. Does that make sense?
Your NetBSD link goes nowhere (blank), and the OpenGroup site is about the SCO vs. IBM case, and is clarifying that SCO does not own the UNIX trademark. Apple's never claimed to own the UNIX trademark themselves, so I really don't see how that's relevant.
It's quite generic. With regard to your "Coke" example - it's actually "Coca-Cola" - Cola is the generic part there, and anyone can (and do) use it.
When someone says Unix to me, in my mind, I do not think "Officially Licensed Solaris UNIX", I think, "oh, what flavor?" Is it Coca-Unix, or Pepsi Unix? FreeBSD Unix, or Linux Unix*?
I'm for governments being able to quietly investigate crimes before they arrest someone. Cops going up to your house saying "We're just outside, and we'll be following where you're going, FYI!" just doesn't make sense to me.
I'm against them being able to blanket spy on everything everyone does just in case someone might intend to or commit a crime. The difference being that in this (FTC's) case, they've identified people they want to investigate - they're not fishing quite as much.
Nope, never. Before I disabled pop-unders on Mozilla, I'd see them, but only for a day or so. And I run Mozilla on FreeBSD - pretty low chance of a spyware app.
In any case, if Netflix is advertising through Gator, Kazaa, et al, they are more evil than they would be with pop-unders on random websites. Far more evil.
Netflix is definitely on my shit-list. I'm running Mozilla now, so I don't see them any more, but they were one of the last pop-unders I did see. Too bad, too, because I thought they had a clever business idea.
Judging by the article, LA county was using that/16 for internal routing only. I understand that they probably got it when it was easy to get, but do they really still need it? On that note, how much IP space that is allocated is actually in use? I heard something like 25%..

No, they should stop driving and take public transit or taxis. They should not be allowed on the road.
...an automated way to suspend a person's license, should the system ever even reach the first stage.
Oh, right. Statistics. That does make it better - thankfully they've never been used improperly to try to oppress people! Heh!

Fuck, you're right. I drank 5 beers tonight, but none before that post. I DO FAIL IT. and I accept it.

I hear great things from my friend about his Samsung 15" 151MP. It's got a remote, too.
All they've gotta do to make them more affordable is open up the clone market again. But, they won't do that.
Yep. A lot of the people that do this work for companies that make more money per day per server than the server actually cost to build - so the extra initial cost for the faster CPU is barely noticed.

I know, offtopic, but it's really bizarre..
Er.. how about:
Don't put up dynamicly generated content without adding protections that automatically replace dynamic content with updated-once-per-minute static content when traffic becomes prohibatively high.
In fact, it's a global world. I'd love to see UTC adopted universally (heh, er, worldly!). When I bring it up to my co-workers, they just look at me like I'm crazy though. ;)
And lost, or gave up, whichever. Thanks. :)
