Fuckin-A. Fuck microsoft ! Go work for a company that uses FreeBSD, Linux, or Solaris. Refuse to have anything to do with microsoft products. When brain dead management can't find anyone except very expensive consultants or children to work with microsoft products then they might reconsider their decision to buy microsoft.
I see. So companies which dont use Linux are not worthy of a solution?
That right, shit for brains. Those using microsoft products are making their own problems. Let em' deal with their own mastakes. Then they will see the real cost of microsoft products.
But what about the rights of the censors. Aren't they entitled to free speech? Don't
they have the right to tell some one to shut up? When will somone stand up for these people? The censors have a right to be heard, too!
Yes, they have rights. Just as we have the right to tell them to fuck off and ignore them. They don't have the right to impose their views on us. These people are in authority only because we allow them to have authority. Ignore them and laugh at them and they will lose their authority.
the fact that your email to your friend is insecure from the government should not bother you, since if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about.
You are a fool. Using your favorite search engine, look up COINTELPRO then tell me you have nothing to fear from this goverment.
Likewise, in an increasingly literate and wealthy society, public libraries are less important. At one time they were the only way for most people to get books, now they are mostly just a (taxpayer-subsidized) cheaper alternative.
Obviously you have never been poor or lived among poor people. Public libraries are one of the ways that poor people can educate themselves. Education is one of the surest ways out of poverty. Andrew Carnegie understood this.
Born into dire poverty Andrew Carnegie spent the first half of his life becoming, at the time, the richest man in the world. He then spent the remainder of his life giving his wealth away. There are hundreds of Carnegie Libraries still operating in this country. Most of these were buildt in small towns that did not have a library. Places like Bayliss, Ca. and Boswell, In.
Why exactly, was it necessary to pull that bug down immediately? It was causing problems with boat traffic, but it's a big bridge! Surely boat traffic could be re-routed, while the bug was dealt with when there was less traffic going over the bridge!
From what I understand the bug was hanging directly over one of the shipping channels. There are two shipping channels under the Golden Gate Bridge. An inbound and an out bound. Most container ships that come into the San Francisco Bay draw so much water that they must stay in the dreged shipping lanes or else they they run the risk of running aground.
Of course, the locals went nuts and have shown no sense of humor about this. Yet another reason to keep packing and keep looking for that job in Canada before George "The Thief" Bush turns this country into a fascist police state.
Or until somebody from HR comes in and says 'Oh, by the wayyyy - we created a new middle management position in your department. Your new boss starts today.'
Been there, had it done to me, got the skid marks to prove it
Yes, the average consumer does not know what CPRM is. That is because they are uninformed. But if we, the geekly class, explain it to them they will understand and NOT buy CPRM drives. The same thing happend in the 1980's with copy-protected software. At one time, around 1985 I think, the number one selling software package was a program that broke copy-protections
No, this is standard release engineering. This is the way Sun, HP and IBM do it. Linux stands alone as the only "Unix" system that has a kernel developed separately from the rest of the OS. If you had a little more experience and maturity you would understand why this is superior release model. It is the reason that very large installations, like Yahoo, HotMail and Link Exchange use FreeBSD instead of Linux.
Like Sun and HP, FreeBSD maintains two branches of development at any given time. FreeBSD calls these branches CURRENT and STABLE. Unlike Sun and HP, FreeBSD allows the public to see the CURRENT branch. A RELEASE is a snaphot in time in which the given state of the CURRENT branch is judged to stable enough to be a release. This becomes a.0 release and is then called STABLE instead of CURRENT. This how we got FreeBSD 4.0.
Like all OSs there are bug fixes. Sun and HP release patches to their current rev of their OS. We in the FreeBSD world see patches as messy. What we do is to incorporate the patches into the OS source code on the STABLE branch and periodically snapshot the STABLE branch as a dot release. FreeBSD 3.5 is the last snapshot on the 3.x STABLE branch. 3.x is now being retired and 4.x is now the STABLE branch and 5.x is the CURRENT branch
STABLE is for those who want the most stable version of FreeBSD. CURRENT is for those who are willing to experment and don't mind if source tree is less than perfect from time to time.
Clearly you do not understand release engineering.
3.5 is the last of the 3.x release branch. 4.0 is the beginning of the 4.x branch. Why the multiple branches? So that FreeBSD can introduce new, major features without breaking stablility. Now that 3.x is finished the 4.x release is the STABLE branch and 5.x is the CURRENT branch ie. the development branch.
It is better to keep ones mouth shut and let people think you are a fool rather than open ones mouth and remove all doubt.
A lot of times it seems that the only difference between the cops and the criminals is that the cops have a badge. A couple of years ago they, the cops, stole something like $50,000 from this older black man who was on a buying trip to purchase plants for his landscaping business. The excuse the cops (DEA) gave was that this guy fit the profile of a drug dealer, ie. he was black.
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to live in a police state, just wait a few years.
They can't stop us. It's simple, there are more of us them there are of them. Keep posting the code. Basic rule here; Once the genie is out of the bottle, it don't go back in.
They have lost, they just don't have the good grace to admit it.
Because "our" legal system is owned, lock, stock & barrel, by the corporations. It exists to serve their in interests. Welcome to a capitalist society.
