    Actually, only a very small portion are "radical" christian. It's just that they have put themselves in positions of power. They can run the show and call the shots and puff our their chests to appear much larger than they are. "Radical" christianity is on a decline, and continues to go on the decline as the USA continues on it's inevitable path towards liberalism. As much as the current NeoConservative regime would like it, they will never be able to make it like the 1950's again. Just like europe, as the USA gets "older" and grows up, we will inevitabely become more free, liberal, and open-minded as we cast off our childish beliefs and become more like adults. The current political climate in this country is just the old guard busting it's ass to try to stay relevant for a little bit longer. And I mean OLD. These same whacko's have been around filling cabinets since Nixon's days. But they can't live forever. Every day more baby boomers kick the bucket. They aren't going to be able to brainwash enough young people into becoming the next generation of beaver-cleaver's fast enough to stay relevant much longer. The writing is on the wall. People WANT to be free. People don't want their Govt' in their face. You have to scare us with war to get us to agree to be treated as badly as we've been treated the past 4 years. But it can't last. You can't scare children with the bogeyman forever. We want our MTV. We want shorter shorts. We want rock and roll. We want sex, drugs, and rock and roll. We want guilt free tits and ass and V8 horsepower. Christianity is on a constant decline. Every day more people see the man behind the curtains pulling the levers no matter how loudly he bellows for us to ignore him. You can only delay enlightenment for a short time.

    I wouldn't say never. There are a heck of a lot more people working on Gnome and KDE than there are working on any commercial GUI interface. It might take a little longer. It's definitely not a task I'd look forward to with Aqua as the example of the near perfect GUI. I'd be more interested in seeing a UNIX desktop like Aqua. Windows really isn't going to grow much GUI-wise until they get rid of that horrendous START button tree/maze/jungle and come up with something more intelligent.

    Find work things to do. You are being paid to work. Revisit some things you've already done to see if you can make them better. Identify problems and draft proposals. Get motivated. Help a co-worker with a project they are working on. Read up on the company. How it's doing. Identify waste. Check your machines out to make sure they are patched correctly. Concentrate on a new programming language or research a new technology that can help you get a raise or promotion. Treat work like the ultimate competitive game. Learn the game well. Worst case, if you REALLY can't find something to do, ask your boss for something to do. They rock at handing out work.

    Mc Chris is probably the best rapper I've ever heard in my life. He's more interesting because he's not talking about his dick, his bitches, his benjamins, or his bentleys. He's not talking about how frigging great he is constantly. And he says shit that puts me on the floor laughing. He's not all trying to be some serious badass, like the posers taking the corporate payoff want you to believe they are. Chris has some lyrics for the people that say he "sucks".

    "You say all of my shit is complete nonsense,
    Fuck my CD and the shitty ass contents.
    Bullshit! My shit's the bomb.
    Siamese twins want ménage a trois.

    Its config file syntax is even more human-unfriendly than BIND's

    I'd say this is a matter of opinion. The important thing is that the config file system is more script friendly, smaller, easier to distribute, etc. One record per line.

    It doesn't allow free reign to set the records up exactly how you want

    I set my records up exactly how I want. You'd have to explain that one. There isn't anything I haven't been able to do.

    DnsCache is for caching.
    TinyDNS is for authoritative DNS.

    it forces you to adopt a mandatory naming convention for MX records

    I call shenanigans.

    It doesn't *force* you do use anything specific for MX records. I think you are confusing MX with NS. And even there, it doesn't *force* you to use a certain naming convention there either. You can choose what you like if you pop the entire FQDN in the record and throw a dot on the end.

  24. The reason DjbDNS hasn't been updated in forever.. on BIND Is Most Popular DNS Server · · Score: 5, Informative

    Is because it has been done forever. Instead of the exploit a year phenomenon you have with Bind, there haven't been any yet. When Bind can take 10,000 requests per second on a dual Xeon box (used for MAPS) and not melt into a smoky plastic dog treat, let me know. Don't get me wrong. Djb is slightly, well, he comes across as a bitter man with something to prove. And I can't stand qmail. But he hit the nail on the head with DjbDNS. I've got nearly 240 domains with a combined total of over 125,000 records hosted with no problem.
