ALL THESE FARTS ARE YOURS. USE THEM WISELY, AND DON'T LIGHT ANY NAKED FLAMES.
EXCEPT TITAN. ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE, BECAUSE IT BLOODY STINKS.
Filter error: Don't use so many caps. It's like YELLING. Yes, right, I'm sure Stanley Kubrick told Arthur C. Clarke the same thing when they were finalizing the screenplay. So now I'm reduced to typing a lot of mindless garbage just to get around the lousy Slashdot filter.
That's about the time I remember that common sense left at least my country of origin.
Capital Punishment was abolished in school. Teachers scared of the kids. Parents getting sued by their own kids, on false accusations of abuse. Parents scared of the kids. Police attacking soft targets instead of real criminals. No one scared of the police, especially the kids. Social workers becoming like jackbooted police, seeing abuse everywhere, when basically some kids are just bad little bastards, and need a cuff round the ear once in a while.
So who exactly is responsible for the kids in 2009 ? I guess no one. Everyone is either too scared, or too lazy.
So why exactly did you sign up in the first place ? Having an AC account on Facebook seems kind of pointless... and by that I mean even more pointless than the whole premise of knowing when your cousin last took a dump (some people post their entire daily routine online), or when your auntie last fed her virtual fish or cooking in her virtual cafe.
No, the secure repos are to make sure the packages are coming from where you think they are from
Funnily enough, a URL serves much the same purpose. Unless I'm not actually downloading HTML content from Slashdot, and this is all a Microsoft conspiracy to infect me with the latest virus.
The New York Times editorialized that "Webster's has, it is apparent, surrendered to the permissive school that has been busily extending its beachhead in English instruction in the schools... reinforced the notion that good English is whatever is popular" and "can only accelerate the deterioration" of the English language.
So it's something like the "American Idol" of dictionaries... it doesn't have to be good (or even correct), it just has to be popular.
We thank Webster for that every time we mispell words like... FTFY.
Of course it was necessary... how else would the US economy survive without it's biggest product.
But seriously, if they'd taken out Saddam the first time around instead of letting him off with a spank on the wrist, the whole WMD debate wouldn't even have existed.
and allows easy addition of third-party package repositories containing virus-laden screensavers amongst other goodies. FTFY.
Wasn't the whole point of the "secure" package repositories that not just any old schmo could operate one. If so, how is Ubuntu anymore secure than Windows where you can download any old crap from any website ?
Well duh... he obviously created a portal into an alternate universe where giant robots really *did* land and start shooting up South America. After filming it with his iPhone, he returned here and uploaded it to the YouTube website in this reality. Microsoft sucks, OSS Forever.
There, I guess that will appeal to 99% of the Slashdot readership, happy now ?
1 - When abbreviating a word that is plural or referring to a group, the convention is to retain / add the trailing "s" so that the original meaning is preserved.
2 - Americans just like fucking with the language so they can pretend it's really theirs.
Greneda had a population of 100,000. The Girl Scouts could have taken them over.
Iraq 1 was NOT a "win", you sent the other team home with a bloody nose, but let them keep all their toys. A win would have meant that Iraq 2 would never have been necessary.
Serbia / Kosovo wasn't even sanctioned by the security council, and was a NATO operation. I understand sometimes it's difficult to tell the difference between the UN and the USA (especially in matters of conflict).
I was referring more to Vietnam (10 years, no win), Iraq 2 (getting on 10 years, no win), and the probability that Afghanistan will drag on for 10 years or more... with the inevitable non-result.
I wouldn't mind, but the Russians learnt in the 80's how difficult it is fighting in the middle of nowhere, with no logistics, against crazy men on horses with AK47s. How difficult can it be to find one man in a fucking cave and take him and his buddys out ?
I can't seem to remember the last time they *won* one... they just seem to go in guns blazing, kicking ass, then hang around like bad smells for 10 years until the locals kick them out.
Half of the services on Windows try to access DNS. Even mundane stuff you wouldn't think of like Print Spoolers etc... it's for network exploration, to see what's connected to your network, mostly (in little-girl-from-Aliens-voice).
Yes, but isn't it cool that if you found yourself in a scenario where a woman is, you could quickly find out what you should do?
FTFY.
Unfortunately, the basement is not the ideal scenario in which to find a woman, but that's where the tech stuff is. It's an evolutionary paradox to prevent nerds from breeding too fast and taking over the universe.
Who actually buys bootleg DVDs anymore ? Despite the fact they cost a few cents more than the recordable media they were burned onto, they are invariably movie mini-cam rips with people's heads in the forground and half the audio in English, half in German, and with the last 10 minutes missing.
They only cited this example because it has the emotive word "bootleg" in it, a throwback to the prohibition language of the 20's and 30's. Just like "piracy" which evokes the same kind of illicit, hidden, sneaky connotation to the whole business.
Whether information *wants* to be free or not, it is out there and the digital unflawed copies are multiplying by the second. No need to be involved with back-alleys or men in brown trenchcoats with suitcases anymore.

1kg of the stuff ? I find that a bit hard to swallow !

Too much of a wimp to say it eh ?
Unlike prostitution and gambling, people can do without Facebook.
Homes and eateries are just places you go when you run out of money enjoying the former activities.

Well it seemed to work quite well from the year 0 up until about 1985.
Not as "cool" as you wasting one of your two posts to moan about it.
which could lead to parents taking the punishment because of their kids.
And that would *never* do ... fancy having to be *responsible* for your own children !!! What is the world coming to ???
I can't seem to remember the last time they *won* one ... they just seem to go in guns blazing, kicking ass, then hang around like bad smells for 10 years until the locals kick them out.
Konrad Zuse (1910-1995) is recognized as the inventor of the first freely programmable computer, and he was European, German to be precise.
Now STFU, stupid American.
Hey, that's the script for Tron.
Now where did I leave my de-rezzed bike and neon strobe jumpsuit ?

Umm, because the password used to encrypt the data is on the SAME PC ?
Or to use a car analogy, the things inside a locked car are safe, unless you leave the keys in the lock.
