Interesting to see that someone utilizing Christianity as their reasoning for their vote would vote for someone that blatantly lied to the world about the roots of his Christianity.
If your religion was that important to you, surely you wouldn't cast your lot with someone that disrespects it so.
If you've got an NTFS drive you could always go about it using Alternate Data Streams.
What pictures? Not going to fool a forensic examiner (nothing you do will, given enough time to look) but you'd probably slide past border folks just fine without having to give up your laptop for not providing the password to an encrypted drive.
Don't give them any reason to want to look any further;)
To eliminate the political bias, you don't count those votes of people that are sheeple enough to actually claim affiliation to one party or the other.
Then you run through the numbers and see how the fluctuations run.
Then you'll find out that people touting this to be a critical, world changing, one of the most important elections ever are totally wrong. Independent economists surveyed find that neither one of them are likely to make a difference in the long term.
Thus, the inherent problem with the two party system rears it's ugly head.
American politics isn't about choosing which candidate is best, it's about choosing which one isn't worse. Just follow their television advertising, it's always about how the other guy is worse, not how the one is better. Picking which candidate won't be worse is about as effective as taking a sampling of 6th grade boys by height and predicting which of them will play in the NBA.
Not on my 64-bit Acer Aspire. Windows: No 64-bit sound drivers, and no way to get any. 64-bit Linux: Sound works great, out of the box (openSUSE and Ubuntu).
And while we're at it, how about wifi? No 64-bit Windows drivers, and no way to get any. Linux: MadWifi.
Whoever modded parent Insightful is on crack.
Lucky for my grandparents, every piece of hardware that I've run into without native 64 bit drivers have wrappers just like Linux. I guess you just need to know how to find them. (sounds just like Linux)
1) Well, I guess as long as those security updates posted by Ubuntu apply automatically they could use the Linux version of Windows.
2) The Linux box was targeted less frequently, but the damage incurred was far greater. The Windows box was targeted ALL the time, but not with a high success ratio.
3) If you count several servers, workstations running several flavors of Linux, then yes I actually use it. If in order to qualify as actually using it, life use it as a full time desktop OS, then no I don't use it. I'm one of the few that are bright enough to realize that both MS and Linux have their place, and it's ok to use them both for their strengths. Fan boys don't have that luxury.
MS did not invent email, did not see the internet coming and in general has never started a paradigm shift in the industry.
When you ask 90% of the world's population what was their first computer games, I'd bet my paycheck the answer is Hearts, Minesweeper, or Solitaire.
Starting a paradigm shift, is a relative thing. Personal computing wouldn't be where we are today without MS contribution. Take or leave their business practices, but you're just being ignorant if you claim they didn't revolutionize personal computing.
OS/2, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, BeOS... these ALL have built-in sound drivers that work.
Windows XP has problems on many Dell laptops.. where the sound drivers are "forgotten" by the OS after a reboot and no longer work.
Windows Vista has a lot of hardware that just won't work with it at all.
And.. without Gates.. your parents and grandparents would probably be using Linux or OS/2.. either of which is more stable and more secure than Windows.
I'm glad my parents don't have Linux. It's hard enough to teach them how to resize a photo from their digital camera let alone recompile their video drivers because of a kernel upgrade. Full Disclosure: I realize not everyone loves Gentoo like I do.
Secondly, less targeted != more secure.
Remember when Apple used to claim things were more secure? They gained more of a market share, and you don't hear much of that any more do you? Back in the day when I had to maintain windows and linux servers side by side (not my choice) without any boundary protection, the Linux one was smacked more often and faster than the Win2k boxes. Anecdotal I know, but relevant nonetheless.
I would get him a big hug.
Without Gates, my parents and grandparents wouldn't be using computers for email today. It'd be a lot harder to live across the country where the fun jobs are without that......
I guess they might be using computers, but at least now they have an OS with built in sound drivers that work;)
I do agree there is a difference as well, and pedantically speaking the BSA National Council is only a support organization for the local areas. So in your terms the BSA fall under the former category as well. I'm a scout master at a local scout troop, we have a high ratio of atheist/agnostic parents with boys matriculated in our program, just like many local organizations have done.
It's not that hard to find these on your own, as I've previously stated. However to make it simple, I'll give you a starting line: Follow the money secured by Senator Clinton for groups inside and outside of NY and you'll find more than three on that list alone. Google is your friend.
I can't actually think of any group that only admits atheists, nor any that only admits gays. There probably are some I don't know about, but that receive federal funding? I guess I'd oppose that if I thought it were true, but I don't; I think you're making shit up..... Evidently Google is not your friend.
It took me about two and a half minutes to find five groups that I've never heard of that are new to the list.
(This is a tired argument, I've heard the same three or four for a long time. I was pleased to find a few more, at least spice up the conversations for those using it)
Simply saying "I guess I thought that were true but I don't......" suggests that you really wouldn't change your stance if I showed the evidence to you. Therefore, you're welcome to harness the almighty google if you're interested.
I have yet to encounter a group of atheist/agnostics who did not accept religious people at their events. Likewise, the only situations where I've seen LBGT groups refuse to let anyone in is because they posed a danger. I volunteer as a scoutmaster at a local troop. We accept all the kids at our events independent of their (or their parents) religious beliefs.
Being accepted at events and not being allowed to join as a charter member are not the same.
For yet another example of how an organization intended to address the issues of a subset of society can do so without discriminating against everyone else -- as a white kid in high school, there was no opportunity to do the science fair because my school was too poor. Instead, I did it through NOBCChE, and didn't even realize what it stood for until years later. I'm glad you were willing to overcome, others on this topic are not quite as hard working or open minded. They want the government to do it for them.
The Boy Scouts of America actively discriminate against atheists and homosexuals despite receiving government funding. They can fuck right off.
Do you oppose all government funded groups that discriminate? There are a lot of atheist/agnostic and gay groups that receive both state and federal funding, do you oppose them as well? Or do you only oppose discrimination sometimes?
If the latter is true, then I guess you'd be guilty of discrimination too, you hypocrite.
...The church isn't a person. It's an artificial construct just like a corporation..... The US Code (22 I believe, could be 20) states a US based corporation is in fact a person in the strictest of definitions. They have every right to privacy that the individual citizen has, and seeing as how it's the business side of the LDS Church that owns the copyright they are entitled to protect their privacy like everyone else.
What if you have a non-confidential copyrighted handbook?
Oh wait.
There's nothing confidential about this document, other than it's being distributed incorrectly. All of the information is freely available online, you can even order a hard copy if you want.
Cult...no, pyramid scheme...maybe.
I happen to be one of the bleeping mormons in the world.
The funny thing about all of this is that wikileaks makes this document to be super secretive, trying to make it as controversial as the scientology leak.
It's not. I have read the entire handbook, there's nothing inside that is controversial. The handbook materials are freely available for anyone that wants to know what it says, you just need to say the magic words.
Given the stark number of lies that are published about the LDS church on a given day on the Internets, I can see why they'd prefer things to not be published. The wikileaks reference a well known website that tries to debunk "mormonism" as it were. That particular site has been known on many occasions to doctor materials and post them as if they were official documentation, often in the forms of scans or pdfs as to look more authentic.
If anyone wants to know what the churches stances and policies are, they can visit lds.org and find whatever they'd like to know directly.
What's your point?
On a vanilla XP Professional SP2 installation:
cd \windows
dir/s
17271 Files
That doesn't even start to think about \program files\.....
Even on a (stupid) vulnerability count, even with a reduced package setup, the number of packages on a RHEL/CentOS system dwarfs the number of programs that come with Windows.
You're living in a dream world. If you look at only.exe's in the system32 directory of a vanilla WindowsXP system there are well over 300. If you start to add up the "packages" that provide dll's or other executable file that are not explicit.exe's then you're easily into the 1100 range. That doesn't even take into account how many of your 1100 packages are just stubs anyway, but that's for a different day.
The major flaw in your line of thought is that in your mind, dhcp support in Windows isn't a separate package whereas in CentOS it is.
BTW, Acrobat Reader, Photoshop, Office and WoW are not components that would be included with the default installation. Put it like this, if you put in the install cd of whatever OS you'd like, do nothing but click next all the way through the installer and see what you've got when you're done. That's what he's saying, Photoshop isn't on that list.
The judge just amended the definition of "unauthorized" to include public internet servers that were expressly configured to provide info to anybody who asks for that info.
I'm breaking the law right now reading this article..........I think I'm going to grease back my hear and roll my carton of cigarettes up in my sleeve. I'm a bad man.
