Although one might argue as to what "superior" means, one would be in a very difficult position to argue that Linux is secure when compared to OpenBSD's proven security track record.
And that - to me - is what superior is all about. Being able to run services and NOT GET HACKED!
Hey asswipe moderator. Look at my timestamp. When I posted my comment, there WERE NO OTHER POSTINGS. We all posted the same comment at the same time. Why don't you mod down everyone else too? Prick.
Easy. So my Dad can go to a store and say "give me a Centrino laptop" instead of having to remember a rehearsed written speech by me where he says "give me a Pentium M CPU with the Intel 855 chipset and the Intel 2200BG wireless chip."
Or for the best that Lame 3.90.3 can put out, use the --alt-preset-* presets. I've been very happy with --alt-preset-standard.
And yes, I intentionally use 3.90.3 and not the newer releases.
no bloody rainbows when i watch a dlp projector?
that would have been in all caps, but for the shoddy lameness filter that can't tell that some times yelling is appropriate.
Huh? Interesting? Why the hell would Windows corrupt the install? A USB flash drive is nothing more to Windows than just another data storage device. Does Windows regularly corrupt your Firefox install on the hard drive? (That's a rhetorical question - of course it doesn't. If it does, than you need to fix your installation of Windows.)
Score insightful?
When the NSA and the CIA are chartered for foreign targets in contrast to the FBI's charter for American targets?
When the NSA budget isn't public knowledge, but is estimated by various sources to be about 50% of the CIA's budget?
Wow, someone wasted a mod point on you.
If by NSA you really meant FBI, then yes, the FBI spies on Americans daily as a matter of business.
The NSA doesn't - NORMALLY. Google USSID 18 for more information.
The other day, when I first saw mention that this guy claimed he foresaw the CherryOS scam, the first thing that came to my mind was "bullshit."
Glad to see that my fears were vindicated.
I love the idiot clueless IT types that think eight character passwords are the bomb. In the Microsoft world, seven is key. Less is less secure. More is no more secure. Seven shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be seven. Eight shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count six, excepting that thou then proceedeth to seven. Nine is right out.
How is a discussion about caps lock newsworthy? Next we'll be discussing the need of SysRq, Break, and Scroll Lock since most people don't use them in Windows either.
Frugality would be not buying the soda in the first place, because you don't need it and water is freely available (and better for you, to boot).
Wow, I wish I lived in your utopic world.
Here in the United States, I pay my county a fee for water to my house. And here in Florida, my city has one of the nasty Superfund sites, so the water - which is NOT free - is NOT safe to drink.
I can understand wanting to get away. Really I do.
The guys I work with that are retired E6/E7 felt the same way. Then they realized a $20k difference in salary in my local market (YMMV) between non-clearance IT jobs and cleared IT jobs.
I offer this. The things you dislike about being IN DOD disappear when you're a contractor TO DOD.:)
Before you get debriefed, put out some feelers, check the market (as you probably have already considered...)
If you have a security clearance, you'll find employers jumping to snap you up.
In defense contractor circles, it takes less time to train a person with a clearance to do a job than to wait for a clearance for an experienced person who's not allowed in the facilities for lack of a clearance.
My company purchased three of the presentation version and all three died within six months. Anectodal? Sure, but still a 100% failure rate in the first year in my book.
Now, if you care about extras (I do not, personally, nor do I care about "director's commentary" audio where you have mindless chatter for fifteen minutes which tapers off to "Uh, yeah, I remember this scene" once every five minutes or so until the end)
That's what you get for listening to the commentary on your Rob Schneider film collection.
They have made enough profit to be able to bid $66B on Disney.
Gee, anyone else think maybe, just maybe, they could lower the monthly charges and still make a profit?

Does anyone proof their submissions? Do any of the editors at /. proof the articles? Oh, sorry, that's right. It was authorized by Tim.
To the moderators... just HOW was the parent insightful?

Yes, why *would* you work for a company that *doesn't* give you a pay raise every year? Are you passive aggressive?
Just like Iraq is the reason that 9/11 happened. Pssst, hey kid, wanna buy a flying pig?

Well, if you take the time to actually click on the links, you'd see that Firefox takes about 8.6 megs when installed, and Thunderbird 10.6 megs.

The August 2004 issue of Mac Addict addresses this topic - focusing on MiniDV. They review nine cameras across three spending levels.
Even if it was tied to his DNA for operation, I still don't see how the chip is non-removable. If it can be inserted INTO the body, it can be removed.

You do have a security clearance, right?
Why is the person outside of your country - probably also the head of a household - less deserving than the person in your country?
Because, you stupid twit (and I mean that in the nicest way) you fired the existing worker purely to hire someone else for a fraction of the salary.
Not because person 'A' didn't do his work, or performed badly. But purely for profits.
If you fire people without cause, there's no point in being loyal to an employer, as eventually they'll fire you. Get them before they get you!
