We just threw their "Patrol" Unix system agent out, replacing it with a lightweight SNMP agent. Their agent is 4 binaries, from 4 separate product lines, with different life cycles, and no cross-compatibility testing. I hope they die a screaming, flaming death.
If there's water, and carbon, and heat (hello molten core of Titan, I'm Saturn, I'll be your tidal gravity generator today), then there's probably life. This could be VERY much like the 2001 series, where isolated pockets of extremophiles lived in the sea under Europa while it was frozen. If we bacteria living in 100+ C, H2S environments, or in liquid brine solutions at the bottom of the ocean, or in outer space (fungus on Mir), then there's no reason that they COULDN'T be living on Titan. I wonder if Winston Niles Rumfoord lives there?
I'll bite: not trying to start a flame war here, but the iPod interface is head and shoulders above the rest No, you FEEL that the iPod interface is head and shoulders above the rest. I've read in places that the Rio Karma UI is better, or equivalent, to the iPod.
Highly recommended book specifically discussing the Soviet (and many many others') smallpox warfare plans. The Russians made smallpox by the tank-truck-load, and as late as the early 90's, had missle test programs where ICBMs launched, MIRVed, then little bomblets with parachutes descended. Where did it all go when the USSR broke up? How about places like North Korea, China, Iran? The US maintains stockpiles as well, don't let the glasses fool ya'. Very good book.
Who probably offers "advanced anti-spam techniques" for small monthly fee. I have run my own domain since 1996, and I've never experienced the trouble you describe.

Nice troll, its not free-as-in-beer. It may not even be free-as-in-speech. For once, I think the Community (whatever the fsck that means) should step up and PAY the lousy 35 USD for a product that works.
I worked with a Prof from California who had worked on this and other projects. The technology to aim the beam is there. If they can hit an ICBM travelling at Mach 25, they can keep a beam pointed directly at a stationary target.
I rarely reply to my own posts, but since people seem to be Missing The Point, I'll clarify: This being said, the vast majority of people really should buy Macs. Most home users WANT the appliance. Geeks and businesses want functionality; in the case of the geek (no pun intended) they want to fiddle. In the case of businesses, they want a box that does stuff for the cheapest cost.
A home user, a typical user, wants a box thats quiet, looks nice, doesn't crash or get viruses all the time, plays MP3s, video games, and sends email. Thus, most people SHOULD buy Macs.
The GP claimed that PC makers should build sexy machines like Apple. I was pointing out that there IS a market for the industrial, function-over-form PC.
I have friends who never even WANT to open their computer, and they happen to have Macs. Want to add storage? Buy an external, supported FW drive. Network? Built in. PC owners are a different breed. They LIKE opening the case. They LIKE planning their next upgrade. They LIKE replacing heatsinks and then benchmarking the performance improvements. This being said, the vast majority of people really should buy Macs. But don't pretend that PCs and Macs are the same, just with a different OS and mouse - they're different concepts.
of someone who went to a "liberal arts" college, where you learn that there's no such thing as an abstract principle, that we must be pragmatic, and consider every new situation with no bias from past experience. I find it difficult to believe that you are in fact, responsible for anything.
"Overall, I think that this is probably better for the system" Of course you're more interested in "the system", you're a liberal.
In my new position I can completely understand it. When I was in college, I would have despised the very concept. Of course you retain no concrete beliefs, you're a liberal.
Maybe if you're an anime fan, Taco, but not all of us are. In fact, some of us don't give a shit. Is this Slashdot, or Malda's own private LiveJournal?
The "lockout" is already ended. During the first Gulf War, there was such a shortage of military GPS units that soldiers brought their own, and the military bought piles of civilian ones. At the same time, they turned off the intentional perterbatio of the signal, so that all the GPSes would work with the same degree of accuracy.
Follow along here. I have a "2600" Athlon, which is really a 2.083 GHz chip, which supposedly takes a 166 MHz FSB. I have lowered the multiplier on the chip, but raised the FSB to 200, since I havd DDR400 memory. No stability issues whatsoever, and various benchmarks report about a 1/5 improvement in memory bandwidth, etc. I have no real desire to rev the chip higher than spec, in fact, its so damn hot now, I'm thinking about dropping the overall GHz. But its useful to be able to twiddle the multipliers to suit your needs. Thank you AMD, fsck you Intel.

So some asshole comes up to you and starts questioning you about Al-Qaeda, but doesn't say he's FBI. Either its blindingly obvious that he is, or you tell him to fuck off. I can see it now: "As you can see, Mr. Anderson, we've had our eye on your for some time now. Ignore the shades, and the earpieces, and the official-looking, unnaturally clean sedan we're driving, we're NOT government agents. We need your help to find a certain "individual". You want to waste your day talking to us, since of course we cannot compel you to, since we're not government agents, don't you, Mr. Anderson? Since we're not government agents, you're more likely to tell us what you know, since we're just regular guys who happen to have cornered you, dragged you into our car, and want to chit-chat about Al-Qaeda. m-kay?"
