One must remember not to take "LINUX IS BETTER" stuff seriously, even though it is.:)
Would the OS race be as much fun without fierce competition? Also, in the case the Linus decides to go "user-friendly" (WHAT?!?), it's also a backup OS.
If the fight is taken seriously, however, it is only by the more inexperienced ones among us, who have not yet learned of the dao of programming.
If you are interested in doing some detective work, and helping other people. This is also a great way of learning about the various GNOME framework libraries: it will expose you to real problems in real applications (boy, I sound like Microsoft hiring material)."
Conspiracy? Of course not... That would be just a little too logical...;)
As plenty of people are being redundant, here's an idea:
As you have root access (you can read the key, can't you?), let the server decrypt it for you, and then send you the information that you want. This would uncomplicate things greatly, as you don't have to spend any of your own time decrypting/parsing the info.
Then, once you have the info that you want, have it send the stuff to you in a packet that appears to be, say, a spoofed SSL packet going to a client who's coincidentally wandering around the site looking at stuff at the time, and thus get all the CC numbers you want without anyone knowing, given that the packets that your hack on the server sends you look normal, you don't use it too much on one server, you clean up your footprints, make it look like your attempt failed (ie, continuing to look for other holes), and tell no one.
It was somewhere within a few years of 0, but contrary to popular belief, it was in the spring.
Spring??? Christmas is in winter!!! Shepherds were out watching their fields at night (Luke 2:8), and they only did that when their sheep were about to give childbirth, which is in the springtime.
Christmas was later moved to winter in order to avoid persecution from the (no flaming intended) pagans, who had their rituals in the winter.
If this is really true, and can go that fast, how would it handle collisions? Having each node back off momentarily would become an amazing waste of bandwidth at this speed, and wiring a seperate electrical grid for every node would be extremely inefficient and costly... With just a few, at most, nodes, this would be sweet, but when a bunch of people try to a bunch of things at the same time, things get all complicated and it's time to unplug the tech support lines and take a nap.
Dude, I've told you before - don't mention that in public, regardless of how much your significant other plays with your hair in attempting to force you to.
One of my friends at Georgia Tech did a survey of this while he was working for some cable modem developing company (Motorola, maybe?), and found that the average user sends/recieves well under 10kb every day. Of course, this was about a year and a half ago, so it's fairly out of date by now.
From the view of a high school student (although not quite an average one), here's what's happening at my school:
1. currently, about $5k is reserved for the purpose of building a fence around the parking lot, thus forcing evil people to use the same entrances as they usually would
2. annoying/closed-minded teachers. About half of the teachers at my school (+- a few) do not allow the students to think or learn on their own. Points can be taken away for using more advanced methods of solving problems, and teachers can send students who wish to have a debate over what's right straight to the discipline office, where they are assigned a 20-minute detention and sent back to class.
3. cosmetics. Currently, our principal is more concerned with making our school look pretty than with the fact that people are sending each other to the hospital for no obvoius reason.
4. stupidity: When one is late to class, to ensure that the offending student doesn't miss too much class (yes, that's right - so they won't miss too much class), he/she is sent to the discipline office, where he/she waits until about halfway through first period to get assigned a detention and a pass back to class.
5. hypocracy: Our principal, Randall Lee, ordered our friendly security guards to check the stalls for smokers. Mr. Lee can often be found outside smoking during class.
*yawn* i'm sleepy now, so i'll go before i start up an overly large flamewar...
For some reason, i don't like the idea of computers becoming this dominant in people's lives. What would one do if their house was robbed? Also, on the amusing side (although possibly true), this is setting up the world to be taken over by computers as soon as the AI people get so advanced that a bug in the attitude module gets people eaten by interactive trash cans, etc. Sounds fun!!!
That gets a definite vote... if only it didn't imply that you only use your own code (poets rarely take other poets poems and change them, other than in parodies (if parodies exist in the poetic world)
That happens when you're running pure BETA software, have very few beta testers to help find bugs, and, have only 1 (count that: 1) server, that takes so much of a beating that when a few (average #'s anyone???) thousand of it's clients go to another site, it can be easily crippled. Also, it's been moved around quite a bit lately (new versions, new servers, new location?)...
you say that bashing ms is wrong, yet you bash on every teen that sees the article. lose the stereotype. if we're to the point of using Linux, we don't fit that one.

Enough already, you say? well BAH to you, too.

It's the difference between 0 and 24 on our clocks, which are synonymous (sp?) :)
Oh well, whatever year it is, it's a new day.

What the people who announced forgot was that TIME STARTS AT ZERO! So today is the new millenium.
Apart from the mystery fog and old people sitting on their porches with shotguns (I actually saw a few...), everything's sane.
The mysterious, lung-burning "mystery fog" which I encountered was later determined to be a combination of smogfog and fireworks smoke.
I take it I won't be allowed to take in the pentagon due to its wander-around and record people features...

that all depends on if you're speaking ghetto or old english, or the flintstones theme song

This is slashdot, NOT an AOL chat room.
That's exactly why it's easier to administer - it has the universal solution - reinstall!
you spelled to, you, dudes, yo, chicks, be, for, the, and women wrong...
It would make perfect sense if you used no acronyms, but you had to use them...
I think that if we could compile Linux into the native code, a computer would finally be worthy of running it.
