Everything we said about Blacks in the USA back during the period of slavery 'and seperation' was done worse to the Jews in Germany of the time
Uh, everything we said or did?
I really hope you are not trying to equate the admittally horrible experiences of the Jews in Nazi Germany to the 400 years of atrocities that this country committed against blacks during Slavery. There is simply no comparision.
What's nice about this to me is that, since it's USB2 (tech specs aside), you can take the space that a pci card would have, put a usb2 card in it's place, and have multiple tuners, since mythtv has support for multiple tuners, case space considerations are no longer such a factor.
You don't really need to grab the latest and greatest slack. Now, speaking strictly for myself, most of my boxes are 7.0, 8.x era, but I have all the latest and greatest improvements. A lot of people seem to take Slack's lack of package dependancy tracking (different from lack of package management) as a negative, but I have always viewed it as a plus. You don't have to have the latest and greatest slackware to have the latest and greatest slackware, if you guys take my meaning.
Agreed on all points. No money, no life. But, that is the reality as well, I would rather use software that some guy in his basement worked on and polished vs. the equivelent commercial version. Not out of any high mindedness, but simple pragmastism.
Then how do they live? And in no way did you make my previous post any less true. A lot of free software out there is better than the commercial equivelents.
Honestly, someone once said (+Orc, a very good cracker back in the day) that someone's work that is done for money will always be inferior to the work of someone who does it for love. I personally would rather use the OpenBSD team's ssh than a commercial one, because I know that the people behind it are doing it because they believe in it, and are going to do their best to put out a superior product, rather than being more concerned for the buck, not the software.
What is more important to you -- the four freedoms of Free Software, or the ability to maximize the value of your computer?
I suppose that depends on how you define "value". Personally, having Free Software and using Free Software has done more to "maximize the value" of my computer far more than anything else I can think of.
Would you like it if an artist made fun of your pens and call you and your friends BIC people? Well, that's how stupid this sounds.
Actually, you would be amazed at how snobby and particular artists are about their tools. I've seen flamewars (only in person, not via computer) ranging from which is better, white sable or sable to who makes a better technical pencil, Berol or Koh-i-noor. Don't even get started on airbrushes. So, having a fight start over being called a BIC person isn't as farfetched as it sounds.
Just to insert my 2 cents into this, I have a 4 disc 750 raid 5 SATA array, on a PIII with 128 megs of ram. LVM on top of the array, and I have never run into a problem with serving files via NFS or SMB. More ram is always nice, of course, but again, I have not ran into any problems.
Obviously, those of us who build our computers have a bit of a buffer zone when it comes to trusted computing, but that isn't going to keep people safe forever. What are the signs and/or identifying marks of Trusted Computer based parts? I can build computers all day long, but if I don't know that the swanky new motherboard I bought has a Fritz chip on it, that's obviously a problem. Hopefully China will still be making non-TC'ed parts.

Granted, but I don't like it when people try to tell me I am wrong in a public forum on a subject that I am authoritative on when they don't know what they are talking about. Being so quick to try to point out a wrong, is a good way to ensure that you end up wrong yourself.
My earlier post got marked down as a troll, but I believe that it's informative, as the above posting is wrong.
Actually, you are an idiot, and don't know what you are talking about. For those of you curious, he's referring to the New York Chain, which has square links and a time mini-ulock, of the type you see on motorcyles. The New York Lock, is a mini version of the ulock, but noticably thicker and heaver.
By the way, the NYC(hain) is only rarely used by bike messengers, as it's too heavy to be lugging around all day. It's only really useful for putting dents in your bike and hitting cab drivers with it.

That's not a New York Lock is it? From the article
A design flaw enables thieves to open Kryptonine U-Locks with the hollow shaft of a Bic pen. The pens can beat the tubular cylinders used in some Kryptonite locks, including the Evolution and KryptoLok series. The company said it was upgrading the locks to a disc-style cylinder that's pen-proof and already used in its top-of-the-line "New York" lock.
New York City bike shop manager Ismael Torres took the flawed locks off the shelf the minute he read about the problem though he is still selling Kryptonite's "New York" lock.

I used to be a bike messenger and I would have always told you, use a New York Lock, which by the way, isn't vunerable to this attack. It's the best lock in the world, but at $50, only bike messengers seem to care enough/or know enough to pay the money. Honestly, I can't count the number of times I've seen expensive 1K and up bikes locked up with a $20 lock. If that.
I disagree. I am all self-taught, and I belive that taking a class only teaches you how to think the way the teacher thinks. I have seen countless IT people with formal skills approach a problem the exact same way, go through everything they can remember, once they have gone down the list, they are stumped. I would much rather be in charge of the training of my brain, esp, since you can study what you want, it's always "play" and never "work". My self-teaching has been of tourrmendous advantage, since I, having not undergone the grinding down of formal education in computers, have developed novel and unique ways of looking and solving of provblems.

For all those who are not intimately familiar with cron, how would such

a job be created?
At a guess, echo "cat
and run scan from a cronjob.
Probably a better way to do it, but it can be done.

Ah, I wasn't aware such existed, awesome.
