    I would probably choose Solaris over Linux on Sun hardware. FMA, ZFS and ldoms (depending on the machine of course) are pretty cool.

    According to the article, the approximate area needed to produce ethanol with corn to fuel all U.S. transportation needs is around 820,000 square miles, an area almost the size of the entire Midwest.

    The Nazi Party was as internationalist as any other socialist. They all want to run the world. Same as any sane person would expect any united front in the 30s would have been an attempted Russian power grab. Their files are open now you know. You shoul

    True, but I've been standing in switch rooms watching operators manually kill those circuits because they wanted to reboot a box. 5x 9s doesn't mean perfect service, and if anyone complained about it they were told that a ms interruption once every few mon

    Ah, but what you fail to realize is that even if Americans are able to get outside info, a lot of them have no desire to DO so, hence they are effectively indoctrinated regardless of having access to this information. They either don't care, or wouldn't believe it in the first place.By being able to obtain the will of the people without having to close-off outside info, you've achieved much more than just simple censorship. It's much worse. It's willful ignorance, and THAT'S the scariest of all.

    Sorry, he's citing lack of Flash as an example of open source failing?!??!The reason they went with Gnash in the first place was because the Adobe Flash player needs more CPU power than the entire damn machine had available.How is hell is MS's bloatware supposed to fix that?

    You might as well have mentioned the Alien and Sedition Acts (which really did outlaw speech against the government). Can you bring up anything that applies today and hasn't been overturned by either the courts or later legislation?

    One does not choose to believe in something because they want to behave a certain way. It actually works the other way around. People behave a certain way *because* of their belief. The truth is that if there is no supernatural benevolent being who we must

    I mean they stole the data of 700,000 people that were on the roles at a Debt Collection company. I mean, these are people that can't pay their bills and have bad credit. How stupid is it to steal that data. "Uh...my SSN is...er...123-45-6789" "I am sorry sir, with your credit score we can't issue you a card." Sure it is still a bad thing for those people to have their info exposed, but sheesh what is next - "Thieves get data of soup kitchen patrons, bankrupt Campbells."? My suspicion is that they are too dumb to know what they have stolen. "Should we bring this flat one? It ain't got no screen or keyboard?" "Sure, I bet its a dvd player, grab it."
