What's funny is that SSNs and MACs are very similar. They are both unique identifiers. The only reason you see it as different is that SSN has been treated more like a password than a serial number.
Only they are not unique identifiers their just identifiers and they are also ridiculously easy to change (due to not being unique this is useful)
yeah but not really, as the linux crowed simply use adduser and can have an entire incognito user or to a lesser extent firefox --no-remote -P porn once in your "porn browser" you can even keep your history
Similarly, the reason your linux drivers work so well is that linux hasn't had the ginormous revamp that the win32 kernel just underwent. Hardware vendors needed to make significant changes to their drivers and thought they'd get by with shoddy (probably outsourced) effort.
Actually it sort of has, its just that due to the nature of the OSS development stuff like changing the wireless stack and changing writing DRI2 is done gradually and as a result tested more. This is really a feature of the short release cycle of linux, OTOH it also means that some stuff keeps getting left behind because its too big.

Goes for both tbh, my friend got a new ati laptop with vista, her laptop strugles with graphics toned down. while another friend has a much older intel laptop that seams to run it just fine with everything still running (all other spec favour her laptop over his). my experience on linux is fairly similar, before i broke my intel laptop it was fairly stable and could at a push run compiz, since getting an new ATI laptop it was just too unstable with ATI and is now too slow with OSS drivers.
1) kudos on the dwarf reference 2) caffeine can keep you awake for 24 hours (not really productive though), speed can probably keep you alert but has a tendency to increase the number of friendly troops you kill
IIRC its 24hrs when you average doing nothing and watching a video. even sonys new 'being honest' policy is just giving users how long their laptop runs watching a film. the numbers are meant for marketing and comparison to other laptops, unfortunately given that the minimum usable brightness and wireless power usage will vary substantially the numbers aren't really that good for comparing laptops either.
1) If you didnt like the "simplified" gnome interface try KDE 2) When you remove Evolution it has to remove anyprograms that need evolution to run 3) When you remove Evolution it will also remove a few meta-packages that are simply there to make installation easier 4) tl;dr

My suggestion to Ubuntu folk is this - pay a bunch of people to use the current system and tell you what they don't like - and then change what *they* want not what you think they should want changed. Get people who have never used a computer, get people who have used a computer but not Ubuntu or other distros, get people who have used the current version for some months... I bet you boot times and web integration aren't anywhere near the top of the resulting wish-list.
like this but costing more money and targeting none-geeks, why bother? Sure the idea of having linux as the major OS is a nice dream, but at the end of the day how does improving it for "plebs" help the rest of us.
Why? Scientology is dying no need to be scared of them. i regularly wait for friends outside the totenham court road branch laughing as i see them fail, hell if im really board i walk up to the table the fat black lady is at and tell the marks that its a con and they just want their money. theres fuck all they can do.
p.s for anybody that cares the fat white girl (w/ glasses, i think) that spends a lot of time outside the costa is also one of them.
I once had a chat to some Mozilla guys on IRC/quote>
if your talking about #firefox@irc.mozilla.org (or similar) then its unlikely you were delt with by a mozilla guy and much more likely you were delt with by some unpaid/qualified community member.
Their response was that Bugzilla isn't intended for end-users to submit bugs; it's for developers.
at first filling bug reports is a daunting task but as long as you check for obvious dupes and put in all the relevant information you have, you dont need to be a developer to submit them. Obviously its easier to deal with error in such and such a stack resulting in blah blah coruption than, msn doesnt work, so its understandable that the bugs posted with more info (normally by developers) get handled first, but that doesnt mean end-user bug reports are ignored.
god i sound like a mozilla apologist, my point was that if you try and help the devs when filling bug reports, there is more chance of a fix than complaining on slashdot
disclaimer:I dont work for mozilla, hell im not even a developer, but i do file bug reports when i get to the bottom of my problems.
XFS does not cope well with power outages though, and i got the impression that trashing my drive was considered a feature not a bug so dont hold your breathe for a fix.
why wouldn't you be able to? astronauts are not infallible.
As for it staying in orbit, well given that when its droped it has the same angular momentum as the astronaut, it will probably stay in orbit for a while.
These ISPs should not be handing over any ones' details, at all. It's not like the users are planning to blow up Canary Wharf...
Speak for your self. fortunately ill be switching from virgin to Be this weekend, hopefully they wont be so public with my details and hell even if they are then at least they wont be traffic shaping me while they do it
I agree 100%. Unions inflate wages for those who are unqualified and deflate wages for those are overqualified. For example, if you are a very good carpenter, you should be able to demand more money, but you are union so you get the same as everyone else.
Do Americans have some sort of magical different unions or fo you simply not understand them? being in a union does not mean your a communist and must all get the same pay it just means if you want change you can (legally) try and bring it about by flyering/striking without loosing your job. A union does not need to be anticompetitive, in the uk for example being a teacher does not mean you have to be part of the teachers union.

Well, it looks like it's hosed. You should probably changethe OS.

which vista version are you using?

nope we wouldn't. a black hole with the mass of a satellite wouldn't need to worry us at all

Exactly. Unions mean that you get equal pay for unequal work. It's called Communism.
Either your talking shit or you Americans have some weird unions
I agree 100%. Unions inflate wages for those who are unqualified and deflate wages for those are overqualified. For example, if you are a very good carpenter, you should be able to demand more money, but you are union so you get the same as everyone else.
