What probably affected your brother is that many parts of the USA have "open container laws"... meaning that in a public place you may not have any open containers of Alcohol.. (I have seen in Hampton Beach, New Hampshire police pull over, arrest and tow the vehicles of people with open bottles in under 5 minutes).
If he had been on private property (i.e. his own property, he would not have been hassled, but since he was on a public street he is subject to the law).
Yes.. Your child IS your responsibility.. You are their moral guide, their discipliner, their PARENT.. You have to GUIDE them, Nurture them.. And a gate is not the same as censorware.. It is more like having a lock and key on the computer so they can not access it without you "opening" it
If people care more about having a career than their kids then they should re-think things (My mother was at home ALL my life, my wife works at home - and no.. we have no kids)..
Way too many kids are being reared on TV and computers instead of by a mother (or mother figure) or father (or father figure) and it shows in society. And a computer program is no substitute for old fashioned parenting
We have a generation (or 2 ? ) of latchkey kids because both "Mommy" and "Daddy" have to work so they can afford the 2 BMW's or 2 RangeRovers... Or they only have 1 parent and that parent works all the time and is unable to "be there" for the kids.
More and more kids are in gangs, on drugs, have behavior disorders, etc. and why ? Maybe because the parents are not around as an example of what is good ? Or are kids in general just worse ?
What about the fact you have "Microsoft WebTV" ? That's another means for Microsoft to make a "feudal" type class that is beholden to Microsoft forever (since you can't hack the webtv box).
Or that Microsoft is investing heavily in the banking / fincancial industry ? Do you really trust M$ to NOT correlate you personal information with the info from the banking data ?
Microsoft will do their typical FUD^H^H^Hbusiness as usual. Until they are forced to change, they will continue to usurp as "OS Features" anything they forsee as a potential threat to their OS.
One big thing I found is that for handling mail, I replace sendmail with qmail. Its thousands of times easier to maintain. Its much easier (IMNSHO) than dealing with than the sendmail config files.
I had been running it under TCP wrappers (in paranoid mode) so I rejected mail from all sites who have their reverse DNS messed up
The way I have my mail server set up is so that
When I started to use TCP Server (as a part of my qmail setup) I block mail for most.jp servers. I have NEVER received any valid messages from those domains.
Block most.kr domains
Block most co.cn
Deny all known spam sites (like mastermarketer.com, etc.)
I'm sure you can block others. I could prolly rig up something to block/filter based on orbs.

There isn't ? What if you do work for a web site and your primary internent connection is down so you reluctantly use your AOHell account ? You have an authentication scheme with the site to do POP before SMTP authentication so you can have authentication with your mail server to send mail from AOHell (because you don't want AOL headers in your message if someone does check headers and you don't want your "screen name" showing up at all).
If the tool is sufficiently advanced it should do that for me fairly transparently. While FreeBSD doesn't automatically save more than 1 version of the kernel, not updating and re-running something (ie. lilo) won't shut my system down until I can get a recovery diskette and get into the system, find out what I messed up, re-run lilo and try again..
With FreeBSD, I just load the last good kernel, boot with it and I am running again.. No recover diskette needed..
I have been using Linux for about 2 years and FreeBSD for about 3 years.. I still find that the FreeBSD kernel rebuild is lots easier.
Also, the fact that its more difficult to make your system unbootable with FreeBSD (since by default when you install a new kernel it saves your old one) and if your new kernel doesn't work, you can get back to the old one more easily [ no worries about munging up the system so bad you need a recovery disk to re-do LILO ].
I was able to get a working kernel from FreeBSD the 1st try (because of the Online Handbook being decent...)
I have only rebuilt a linux kernel once (when I needed more than the default 4 software raid drives in RH 5.2).
I also think editing 1 file verses the 5 miles of check boxes for a Linux kernel is easier. You can also more easily change 1 thing then rebuild your kernel and keep going..
I have an email from them. I asked EXPLICITLY if I own the hardware or if they still owned it. It states clearly in the mail message that I own it (but I have to use their service to use the machine).
I don't know about that.. my company has NO ONE who is MSCE certified and can care less. In fact the supervisor of that department can care less about MSCE. He wants NETWORKING people, Not M$ drones. Like others have said, The paper is a joke. Experience is more important that test taking ability.
Or the other problem of the software developers who:
Develop using linux "ONLY" methods (using/proc instead of system calls)
Develop using linux "ONLY" sytem headers ("#include , etc.) when standard headers exist (/sys/machine.h, etc.)
Develop using "direct" access to constructs (instead of through system calls - makes it difficult to port some things)
Develop functionality with no regards toward porting to other OS. This helps no one.
What CAN be done to help further things along
Develop a cross-developers group (people willing to supply test boxes from other OS).
More development of crossplatform differences (and workarounds).
Better development skills (learning how to encapsulate the OS specific functionality into wrapper functions [change the OS, change the functions that the wrappers call].)
What trademark ? Their trademark had been tossed out of court. They took advantage of a judge not aware of all the subtlties of the issue. Etoy's trademark is still in progress. If ANYONE had a legal trademark issue it would be etoy. They had been operating for 2 years longer than etoys (take a look at the whois/internic records for domain registration).

I don't think you can actually be arrested for intent (intending to shoot someone) unless you are breaking some other law (illegal posession of a firearm)..
If someone were to use the deCSS software and post something like an MP3 of movies (granted you are talking 100s of megabytes) then they could do something...
Why should I be forced to use several meg of HD space for an admin tool (ie. Linuxconf) that I will never use ? Why should it (or any other UNIX for that matter) always install sendmail.. I never use it, I always use qmail instead. Shell is different, a computer without a shell is like a car without an ignition. Perl is a programming language. Not an esential program..
I too agree that NYC is 'spensive. Why not Boston or Hartford ? If it were in either of those places I would have an easier time getting my company to pay for it and let me go ( I did manage to get them to pay for it this year but as the show was lacking in some areas, it may not be easy to get the funding for next year ). Also, Why did it take so many days to get a story posted when the Bazaar was over last thursday night ? (BTW: Great party at FAO Schwartz !)

Surely that is a valid reason ?
Sorry.. I always do it... Its a habit when I tweak the kernel config file.. make depend, make all, make install...
I bet a large majority of people building kernels do the depend step.

But it doesn't show up when you look for topic=bsd. I believe THAT is what was getting referred to.
