"Only wimps use tape backup: real men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it;)" - Linus
This assumes, of course, that your stuff is important enough to be mirrored. True of the Linux kernel source, probably not of your high school research paper on the merits of underwater basket weaving.
Earlier this month, Elaine Liner, an adjunct professor who taught writing and ethics classes in SMU's public relations department since 2001, revealed in an online publication that the blog was hers.
Most of this stuff sounds like the boilerplate protections most companies put in their employee agreements in the first place. Since you generally have to sign such agreements before you get your first paycheck, this new initiative seems rather redundant to me.
...then what is the problem with signing it again?
I'm simply not old enough for any job that gets paid more than minimum wage and has actual job security.... I'm looking for a job that will simply get me into the industry with a meager salary large enough to sustain life.
Did anyone happen to read the part of the article that said that the US ranked so low partly because "...several journalists have been arrested for crossing security lines at some official buildings".
I suppose one could argue that this is some form of censorship, but let's face it. You'd be arrested regardless of whether you're part of the press or not. The government provides equal opportunity in this area.
"We observe the interaction between Windows boxes on the network, watch the packets (of data) going past, and then try sending that packet ourselves to see what happens. Sometimes we get a slap in the face, most times we get a coffee," he says.
It took me a second read to realize that asking for the "wrong thing" from your waitress might get you that proverbial slap in the face!
Sales of SUV's greatly outnumber sales of hybrid vehicles.
SUV's have been around for quite a bit longer as well. And there are more reasons than money that people choose SUV's over hybrids. Space and power are just two.
I actually just bought a hybrid, and don't think my wife and I didn't look at SUV's. But it turns out that the SUV's are the more expensive vehicle both in the short and long term.
Your argument doesn't hold water in my opinion.
Probably offtopic, but lets at least call a spade a spade. (Something my mom always used to say, but it seemed appropriate.)
The next (il)logical step would be to allow bill collectors to hack into your bank accounts to collect on past-due accounts.

Most of the people on this discussion seem to think that hybrid cars only the transition to fuel cell vehicles. Although, I probably tend to agree, I question when exactly fuel cell vehicles will actually be available.
I actually bought a Honda Civic Hybrid last week. I've gotten just under 1000 miles on the car now and the car is only on its second tank of gas. The readout shows 43.1mpg at the moment.
The car has surprisingly good power both off of the line and at top speed (when you need that extra ooomph to cut off the guy in the fast lane to get around the slow guy in front of you).
ArsTechnica has a good article about it. Especially, check out the CVT transmission. You don't even feel the car shift.
I don't work for Honda or anything like that (as I realize this sounds like and ad), but I love it so far, it gets awesome mileage, and there's even a $2000 tax break for owning one.
Even if it is a "stop gap" until fuel cells show up in mass quantities and reasonable prices, I'm very happy with my hybrid for the time being.
I realize that a few people posted the link to the story before I did. And what happens then is, the first guy gets +5 Informative and everyone after that gets -1 Redundant.
Think about this. When I posted this link, there was only one comment. By the time I actually previewed and hit submit, there were about 20. I can't be sure that one of those people is going to post a link, so I just post and hope.
Maybe next time your moderation points would be better spent on a Troll or somone who is actually making a redundant comment. If I had been left at +1 (my default), my comment would have been drowned out after about 30-40 posts anyway.
My two cents... and probably another 2 points for being redundant again.

I realize that I'm going to be modded down for posting this, but I just wanted to say, THANK YOU. I don't understand the big deal with this story. Anyone with a reasonable understanding of Linux and some spare time can set this up. I did it about nine months ago and even got so far as to have the CDROM drive detected automatically so that it needed be specified by lilo.
If anyone's incredibly interested, I can send along the extra scripts that I wrote to search for the CD and do the initial copy from the CD to a tmpfs.
Finally see a few replies down to you where someone connected this story to one a few days ago and added steps 9 and 10 to your instructions.:)
I would have wanted to also see a non-journalling filesystem compared against these. Since I'm not currently using a journalled filesystem, it would be nice to see the difference between what I use now (ext2) and the journalled fs's.
My complaint is that they forced everyone to upgrade to 3.3 (which is by all accounts largely untested) to workaround this problem when all that was needed was to set a single option to no in the config file.
I certainly would have preferred to do that to upgrading to an untested version of software.
Companies prepare for this when they give you sick/vacation time. By giving you that time they've already accounted for the lost productivity and agreed to pay you anyway.
Everyone knows that vacation days are for vaction, and sick days are for when you just don't want to go in.
I find it very interesting that when all of the DMCA stuff went down in the US, most kernel hackers and other non-US people said, "Ah, stupid Americans. Oh well, we'll keep working outside the US." Alan Cox even went as far as censoring the Changelogs as I'm sure everyone remembers.
Now, a similar law is popping up elsewhere, and everyone is up in arms. Why is it that the European version of the DMCA is going to stymie open-source development but not the US version?

NTP is built on top of the TCP/IP protocol suite and is used to ensure accurate time-keeping with a trusted time reference.
Ummm, doesn't NTP run over UDP?

So SBC, like Verizon, is concerned about the cost/hassle of complying with all the subpoenas it has been receiving.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
No local mounts. Oops, sorry.
Linux has a driver for NTFS already. Last time I looked, it was read-only, but that should suit you perfectly.
DSH? I used it awhile back and was pretty happy with it.
It was a bit unstable, but that was almost a year ago. Give it a try.
get the last 5 minutes of my life back?

Aim low and you'll always reach your goals, eh?
All fair use is not piracy, but neither is all piracy fair use," Mehlman said.
I think you misread the statement.
All fair use is not piracy == Fair use is not piracy.
neither is all piracy fair use == Piracy is not fair use.
What's the problem?

Actually, you do need the fastest processors to open AOL.
