(Assuming your from the US*) That's the problem, If paid for content was more reliable/verified/trustable then people would be inclined to pay and get real news, unfortunately it seams quite the opposite is true, I trust content that's online for free BBC, wikinews, etc more than i trust print news.
*I should probably note that the TV news we get in the UK is much more trust worthy than the print media we get here.
You can change the medical situation in america without government intervention.
Those with pre-existing conditions can't, and besides as a country the US can't afford to keep spending more for worse care.
Which will result in everyone getting another shitty government ran mess.
Yeah the government can't do anything right, that's why i only drive on private roads, i hire personal body guards because the police are useless and when my house burns down I'd rather use buckets of water than call the incompetent fire department!
I know people from other countries that have come to get american health care.
There are worse places than the US, it doesn't make the system any good, just its easier to move to America and get private care (especially from south American countries) than it is to get care in countries with better systems.
Yeah opt-in medical care without getting raped by health insurers, fuck me that's soooo unamerican! Its hard because despite being a complete dick going on about america (fuck, yeah! coming to save the motherfucking day yeah?), you are in fact correct, if the feature was opt-in (instead of opt-out as it is) and fully explained the risks (which they do but only if you go looking) then it should be fine everywhere!
A secure OS would make sure that all code downloaded from the net is identified to the user as code downloaded from the net and its source/publisher, and a secure OS does not allow the downloaded code to execute until after the user has acknowledged that it is a downloaded program and given explicit permission.
By that standard are there any secure OSs, I know it can be done with linux and apparmor+policykit, however i've never actually seen it done.
Coupled with the fact that not all antivirus and anti-malware will spot every variant. It'll get 90+ percent, but you always hear about the ones that get through.
I get the rest of your defence but why allow users to execute random files in a windows environment?
IPv6 != addressable from anywhere in the world. If i have a lan that is not connect to the internet it still communicates using IPv4. There are many nice tricks in IPv6's hat that make it much better than IPv4+nat+... for any new network. Ignoring the additional space that would allow a much better layout, you have multicast which is nice for the smart grid
either your tax system is retarded OR you really don't get how tax deductions work. If you donate you don't pay tax on your donation, you however don't get more money back than if you had never had that money at all.
A solvent (such as water) is needed as chemical reactions are too slow in the gas/solid phase. In addition water has a rare (if not unique) property in that it is the most dense at a point in its liquid phase, this means that at the bottom of a pool of water the temperature can remain pretty constant allowing living things to stay that way until they are capable of surviving at different temperatures. A raw material (like carbon) is needed to build the backbone of life, it has to have many properties similar to carbon. While other setups are possible the chemistry prefers carbon (its a single chemical as compared to combos and it is very reactive) and the physics does too (there is more of it than the alternatives because its a light element).
mod parent up, i came in search of servers actually being encased in carbonite (which would be very impressive due real carbonite being an explosive) and was thoroughly disappointed!
I'm not saying out libel system is perfect but before i take shit like this from an American can you please look at which country. 1) has news full of rampant lies 2) has a population where 40-45% don't believe in evolution and believe the world was created in its current form
Oh right its the US, but yeah sure, OUR legal system is busted and cripples science journalism! You still have people on your news claiming provably false things, but yeah WE are the ones with the libel problem!
Maybe its a language difference (i live in England) but my understanding of the word bogus, leads me to interpret the statement exactly the same way as the judge.
meh, back when men were men, we used man sized xbox controllers and had to convert them manually! However i only really use it when running console emulators as i prefer kb+mouse for actual pc games, plugging in 4 xbox controllers for 4 way N64 fun is cool though.
I believe that is exactly what they will do! Especially when sky already has BBC-HD encrypted (and at an extra cost), in particular fox will likely be very keen to prohibit the BBC broadcasting their stuff in HD without DRM, because to get in HD you will have to pay rupes for SKY.
Like how iplayer had bullet proof DRM, it obviously got the content providers to sign off. What's interesting is that it was broken as soon as they released iPlayer for iPhone however I'm yet to see much piracy coming from iplayer rips, well nothing that wasn't getting ripped anyway. I think this is exactly the same deal, they are selling DRM to the content providers knowing that it won't work for long (secrets keys, lol), however it will get them to play ball and when there is no negative impact, as the content will undoubtedly be american and so already be on TPB before it hits the UK airwaves, they won't kick up enough fuss to get some real DRM.
I find those adverts more amusing if you take them for what they really mean. "Want to share a photo with a shake?"..."We'll charge you for that" "Want to search for taxi companies?"..."We'll charge you for that too"
I thought they had reached a marketing high when they touted cut+paste, but now their advertising slogan is "want to do something on the phone you already paid for...We'll charge you for that!". I mean the same can be said for any platform but the specifics they use in are particularly trivial, and they sign off saying "only on the iphone".
I also used to do this on my cheap phone (£15) using anyremote that works on any phone that runs java
While i agree that this is bad, you are talking shit, "free speech" doesn't guarantee you an internet connection any more than it guarantees you a phone.
This is slashdot 1)Any goverment regulation is BAD mkay* 2)Countries that have strict completion rules are retarded 3)If an American company gets regulated elsewhere they should stop doing business with that region entirely
*rule does not apply to regulation of Microsoft, SCO, etc
Telstra Wholesale, cant give Telstra ISP preferential treatment so, other ISPs can buy wholesale at the same price as Tesltra ISP. Splitting up a company is pretty much the opposite of privatisation!
Is it a good idea to? Assuming the motive of these systems is simply to track how much you use roads and charge you accordingly, are roads a system you want to discourage use of (ignoring environmental arguments, as are much better covered by fuel taxes)? It seams to me that roads are essential infrastructure and like a post office, being able to get from any A to any B at the same cost* is very desirable as it supports the spread of business.
*Theoretically anyway ignoring the whole fuel problem, which while a problem doesn't have the same effect as there are a lot more variables than just distance that these systems would.
>That means I still agree with you that apt/dpkg is sweet.:-) Yum/rpm is not that bad, in some ways i find yum to be more powerful than apt
I'll be honest i don't use lvm in a production environment so i may be wrong but: >Your LVM will require another slice for this, as oppose to ZFS. You get the same functionality, just because ZFS doesn't show users "slices", doesn't really matter >It is also using quite a space to do so, while ZFS does not. It only takes the amount of space corresponding to changes you make, While ZFS may take less space by being filesystem aware LVM snapshots are hardly huge
It seams most ZFS features people want are provided by lvm already, im not saying zfs isn't good but i prefer to have lvm+any file system i want. I've been lead to belive there are some features that zfs offers that cannot be done with lvm, however I rarely see people talking about them.
Sounds like it breaks physics, how can a single-frequency transmitted simultaneously from multiple points NOT result in constructive & destructive interference?

This would stop command line programs that work on files
Prompt, java-applet style if your in GUI, text prompt if you are on the CLI.
