I believe the market has decided otherwise. I have more than one digit on my hands, why should I be limited to using only one on a mouse? I don't run my computer wearing mittins:)
I did with my iMac (which I love) but I refuse to purchase an Apple notebook until they fix this annoying problem. I shouldn't have to carry a mouse with my everywhere just because Jobs does not give his customers enough credit to grasp the concept of two mouse buttons.
Sometimes known as LDAP... Contrary to popular belief, it is not just a crappy network authentication alternative for people who can't be bothered learning how to set up a Kerberos5 realm, it also is a directory service:)
The majority of motorcyclists are never in accidents. Those that are are usually in low speed accidents (I myself had a cellphone yapping, minivan driving soccer mom hit me from behind at a stoplight, messed up the bike a bit but no damage to me).
With proper training (MSF) and safety equipment you chance of survival on a bike goes way up to the point where it is almost the same as in a car. Generally the people who get themselves killed on bikes are either (1) drunk or (2) pulling stupid stunts. Go read the "Hurt Report" (google for it), they have stats on all this stuff.
Oh for $DEITY's sake don't buy a motorcycle as a first vehicle. Drive a car around for a few years and get used to the road without worrying about gravel, oil on the road, cell phone yapping soccer moms, and old people unable to see anything smaller than a Mac Truck. THEN get a motorcycle. Plus after dealing with the crappy gas milage and acceleration of a car, you will really appreciate the bike:)
The only things RMS, ESR or Perens and their ilk 'contribute' is rhetoric and the image of the bearded loveless hippie.

True, but if you are a known firearms enthusiast, I would think you should refrain from making ANY kind of threats. (1) it just supports the stereotype of the "gun nut" and (2) people take flippant threats much more seriously when they know someone has the ability to back it up, and will (rightfully) do thinks like alert the police, etc.
Oh, I wasn't saying that the fine is not way too high, just that there should be a fine. It seems there are quite a few people on this board who think that this guy should be congratulated by NY Times and hired by them as thanks for pointing out their security flaws.
But how do you know all he did was break in to test the security? As a sysadmin would you take his word for it? Or would you spend a lot of time performing your own system audit to make sure this guy didn't put any backdoors or other malware in your system. That takes time and costs money.
This program just proves that md5 is not the correct hash for doing this kind of comparison. It is TOO GOOD of a one way hash, and will only return is positive if the lines being compared are 100% equal.
We all know older stuff is better. (Except computers) Stuff was built tougher then.
Sheesh, compared to the cheap, piss poor quality design of computers today, I'll take an Ultra1 or an RS/6000 43P anyday. The internal componants have gotten faster but the cases, keyboards, mice, and quality control of the whole assembly process just sucks anymore.
I have mine filled up but it is only about 50% music. The rest is backups of datafiles and source code. One of the great things about the iPod is that is is also a regular firewire disk drive and can be used as that as well.
Funny, I have purchased dozens of spools of CDRs and have yet to burn a CD. Well, not true I did burn a bootleg Guster concert that I got legally from Archive.org
This assumption that CDRs only have one purpose, and that is burning illegal music CDs is total crap.

An inferior hack to solve a problem is not a better solution than just solving the problem.
Buy a 4-5 button mouse or trackball.

It's an automatic EX, and I have the AC on probably 90% of the time. I average 38-40 by my calculations (mostly highway driving)

I have a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid and I love it. Average about 45 mpg.
:)
That's odd, I get 40 on my 2001 Civic non-Hybrid. I would think the difference would be greater.
Can't beat that tax break though, I would have purchased the hybrid if it were available for that alone

There's an interesting article by Cringley where he talks to the CEO I believe of Eolas.
CEO, and CFO, and CTO, and night janitor. Eolas has only one employee.

That should read "burn a music CD"

Actually I hate them because, quite frankly, they suck. I've belched better music (and lyrics if I have had enough soda) than their last few albums :)

Well, in my case I really meant hypocracy. I was refering to a government of hippos :)
Seriously, thanks for for the language tip, I've been mispelling that for a while I guess.
