I know lawyers who made >$400,000 a year but had no time for their kids because of their hours and were stressed out all the time from the stress. They were cranky and mean to their family because of the pressure. They took a huge paycut (to around $150,000) and were perfectly happy. Money is, to some extent, overrated. Especially if you have to use your life--and those valuable in your life--to earn it.
I wish smart folk (who are good at work) would take up the gauntlet and enter management. Who better to make a hard decision than someone who knows the stuff? Otherwise, it's a droid who will take the "safe" or "politically expedient" solution, neither of which are the "technically correct" solution. Yeah, you have to deal with people, but it's better than dealing with your tech-illiterate boss when he stumbles into your office and gives you stupid work goals.
It is the manufacturer's fault. And ndiswrapper is a solution for Linux wireless. Linux requires a bit of homework with regard to wireless. But once it works, Gentoo scripts has everything work fine. I've noticed that hardware that supports Linux work better, like Winmodems.
Lincoln had half the country threatening to run off and create their own slave colony. Bush is chasing phantom terrorists around the world on false pretenses. Not even close.
On the Windows side of the fence, you can use a uPnP-enabled router, which will open up the correct ports and forward them to the correct PC automagically. Of course, uPnP got a bad rap because the first MS implementation was flawed. Gibson keeps up the paranoia so no one really uses uPnP. The other option is to set up port triggering. The program will grab the ports it needs when it needs it and closes it otherwise. It is the most convenient and secure way to do things. Everyone should choose random, non-used ports because evil ISPs throttle traffic going over traditional (default) Bittorrent ports.
Personally, I use BitComet for all my downloading needs. I'd use Azuereus because it's GUI is really nice, but it is just too crashy/hangy on my Windows machine. (That's with the latest Sun JRE, too.)
The problem is that the Administration does not have a firm idea of just who is a terrorist. The information they seize are being used to prosecute American citizens for crimes. Juan Padilla, the alleged "dirty bomber" is a good example. He was recently indicted of charges that have nothing to do with warfare. Rights cannot be lost only because the government chooses to accuse you of being an enemy soldier unless you were caught on a battlefield (or even in the United States with an apartment full of bomb-making materials and an Al Queda manual).
Strangely enough, the grandparent poster, who I think was being facetious, is literally correct. The internment of the Japanese was upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court in Korematsu. The case has yet to be overturned, though it is of doubtful precedential value. Still, FDR literally did not violate the constitution as interpreted by the country's highest courts.
The article says that the genes from soil bacteria may get transferred to human pathogenic bacteria. Strains of bacteria resistant to vancomycin are believed to have evolved in this manner. Still, no one is calling for panic. The scientists in the article are researching the mechanisms by which the soil bacteria use to neutralize antibiotics so that future antibiotics can be improved.
Can someone please mod the parent down in the interests of irony? Anyway, once Mac OS X gets popular, you'll see more websites offering OS X-compatible trojan programs that Mac users, lulled into their sense of invulnerability, will happily download and install. Come to think of it, using the Mac OS X, by virtue of its smaller marketshare, is kind of like security through obscurity. It's just not worth it for spammers to target OS X users--yet.
Finally, a technology patent that does some good! A small company innovated a new technology and licensed it to a big company that will bring it to market. Everybody wins! How rare is this?

The first article says only one American space mission has released nuclear material, and that was as designed. The radioactive material was dispersed into the upper atmosphere in that case. Newer designs contain all the material and have functioned properly since.
Huh, then you lucked out. Slashdot bans many Tor servers. Refresh a server and see if you can still comment on Slashdot. They claim it has been dDos'd through Tor before. Come on, we're Slashdot. Our name means dDos, baby!
"Do I know how to castrate a bull or build a replacement wooden wheel for my Conestoga wagon? No, because I'm not a settler living in the early 1800's."
Right. If you're not a settler, what are you doing with a Conestoga wagon?
No one has an incentive to let the content of others run with their player, especially Microsoft. I say that because Microsoft more than the others can use their software push methods (Windows Update, Google Packs, AOL CDs) to get their DRM onto as many computers exclusively as possible. Whoever gets power in one end will automagically extend that power in the other. Until antitrust lawyers get involved but tough luck because the players are free gifts to the consumer.

Your little list includes "America" and "beautiful", so who cares?
Microsoft won't bother going through WHQL-sealing everything. Manufacturers will. Do you know how much that little Windows icon on your box is worth?

But you can give interviews as "the guy from 200 years ago". One of a kind story, man.

No. Whoever owns the largest military rules the world. Why do you think the United States has such a firm grip on the Internet?

Cough. Cough.
What makes you think the NSA does not already have access to Google records, with or without Google's knowledge and consent?
They're all gold miners anyway, so who cares about them?
Tongue firmly in cheek.

I think all their pickups get beat up.

Take the bus. Really. It's a little more inconvenient, but think about what you're doing for the environment.
They should have gotten a server that takes a slashdotting. Three comments and it's dead.
