Really? Verizon never asked for an SSN when I signed up for a new account in January. Credit is not being given, therefore a credit check should not be required.
They really are that incompetent. I drive 40 miles to work each day, one way. I live in a small town, and work in a different small town. Finding any kind of free hotspot is not possible, so that leaves the cell serviced connections. Can you say "big bucks?" I knew you could.
That being said, it is also not worth my while to bother with the offline version of gmail since I have to o the driving.
"Unless you're a spook or the kingpin of a criminal consortium, there's no need to go out and buy deleting software and no need to put a hammer through the damned thing," Mr Goodwins told the BBC.
Why? DBAN is free and can be used over and over again.
I am aware of that. It has been a "feature" for a long time. I was talking of a fresh install though. In any case, all operating systems have problems. There is no such thing as a perfect OS.
I'm not exactly sure where you got your information on XP, or what your experience is with it, but I would not classify a 1GHz pc with 128MB of RAM a GREAT setup for XP. It is a minimal setup for usability. It will work, but not with any kind of speed. On the other hand, XFCE or fluxbox window managers on Linux will be quite happy with that hardware. To be REALLY fair, no modern system will be blazing with those specs.
Also, I don't know when the last time you did a Linux configuration was, but it is far more simple than it was a year or two ago. I have not had any of the "massive, time-costly research" that you indicated in any of my many installs this year.
As soon as people agree that every OS sucks, we can get on with our lives and forget this petty bickering.
I am a full-time network administrator, without any IT degrees. I am just finishing my associates degree, and have taken some training from SANS.org, but had little IT experience when I was hired. The jobs are out there, but hard to find.
Exactly. Network and security administration is my job, so SN usually either bores me or annoys me. I still subscribe to it so I can watch for a topic that has not crossed Security Weekly yet, then I research it further. Usually SN is behind SW though.
You also raised a good point that looking through podcasts should be one way of finding shows for what you are interested in. Their are thousands of them out there.
Security Now is a VERY entry level security show. He spends far too much time going over how things work (which is not supposed to be the focus of the show) and stammering. The stammering annoys me more than the explanations.
Pauldotcom.com has a weekly security podcast that goes into more detail about security vulnerabilities, penetration testing, and programs that are useful for finding network and security issues.
Actually, they were monitoring the Ice Games II at Sans Network Security 2008 conference last week. They answered questions and told us what they were trying to do.
Thing is, they should have PARTICIPATED in the games, instead of just monitoring them. It was a lot of fun, and they would have learned some things I'm sure.
From reading the articles available, not all of the domains were American businesses. If it is not in America, what right do we have to tell them to stop? Is it really their responsibility to block access from their website to us? How would they accomplish such a miraculous feat?
Yes, and how does this apply to EXISTING developers? Putting it in the email rejection notice can not be binding in and of itself because you never agreed to it. They are just crying like little babies because someone with real complaints is making them public. Shame on Apple.
Ah. They never mention that in the commercials. Looking at the website for it though, the gas mileage is still less than a hybrid for maximum range per fill up, 440 miles including a fully charged battery.
Still, the approximately 55mpg is better than the 30 I am doing in my PT Cruiser. I do tend to take longer trips as my wife's family lives about 250 miles away.
The Volt, which will have a MAX range of 40 miles per charge, does not impress me in the least. I drive a 60 mile round trip. Let's see the hydrogen fuel cell cars. The infrastructure, which Shell has committed to, might be a bit easier to get in place?

I stand corrected. After a quick search it became obvious that my misinformation was caused by Sony being sued over blueray patents.
BlueRay is owned and licensed by Sony. You need a license from Sony to produce BlueRay disks.
Why is this scored as Troll? He has a good point.

Hmmm... other hardware will also affect the box, but maybe it's just the D'hell I had that was the problem. Glad your's works well for you.

Why should he be any different than the average slashdotter?

Actually, I use that quite a lot from a liveCD distro. Great way to securely wipe a disk. dd if=/dev/urandom of/dev/sda1 is better though.

People really should stop reading the idle pages if they don't like them. You DO have a choice as to which sections you read.

I don't see where "privacy fanatics" == suspicious of Google. I fall into the former, and I am suspicious of most online companies.
Did you? This is a new addition, not in the original agreement. How does this really affect those who have been developing?
Yes, and how does this apply to EXISTING developers? Putting it in the email rejection notice can not be binding in and of itself because you never agreed to it. They are just crying like little babies because someone with real complaints is making them public. Shame on Apple.
I for one would like to welcome our new alien overlords...
Must be. I meant 451, but it's too late for that now. :P
I think we should celebrate his turning 541...
