To agree with France as the #1, when you have countries with human rights violations such as China hanging out there.
Note to moderators. This is not a troll, nor flamebait. Timothy posted his opinion as a front-page/. story. I'm calling him out on it. As others have pointed out, the only "evil" of France these days is not supporting an illegal war that was started on a bunch of lies.
I think you (and K-Mart) had it right on. I think that a reasonable window for full refund is perfectly fine. After a window for returns, say seven days, then it can slip back into something like exchanges only.
Oh HELL no. That's all I need - to purchase what I thought was a new game only to find out when I go online my unique serial number is already in use and I can't log into the game server.
Score 4 interesting for basically admitting you bought something, used it fully, then decided to rip off the business that sold it to you under false pretenses.
Nice.
No wonder today's games suck. Too many people over the years abusing the return system. No profit in writing good games.
Applications: FreeBSD has way more ports than OpenBSD.
That's all fine and dandy. But the article was talking about SECURING FREEBSD. Installing ports is pretty much guaranteed to UNsecure FreeBSD (or Net, or Open...)
FreeBSD and NetBSD are just as secure as OpenBSD
Is that your opinion or are you willing to back that up with errata logs? Are you sure that Free/Net has had no more than one remote exploit in more than seven years?
and pf doesn't count since it's already ported or being ported to the other BSD
First, how is it a "windows virus" when users are the ones running the attachments?
Because only Windows boxes are getting infected by these attacks
Because many Windows viri do not require user interaction
Because the worms of late are also completely automated
Two, what does your inbox have to do with an ATM?
What part didn't you understand? His inbox is receiving tons of Microsoft-based viri and worms. Guess what. Microsoft wrote that little NT OS that vendors want to put in ATMs. That means a company who is painfully ignorant of the method of writing secure code is going to be behind the OS running our ATM machines. There, was that simple enough for you?
I'm so sick of anti-Windows FUD. A lot of Linux users do exactly what they preach against.
Don't read/.
Too bad. Many of us/.ers are paid Sys/Net/Security Admins. And in spite of our paychecks, we're tired of dealing with THE SAME VULNERABILITIES OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN FROM M$.
What would that be? Run Windows? Then they wouldn't be Linux users, would they?
The truly sad thing is some IDIOT MODERATOR modded you up for spreading quite false FUD.
Theo doesn't sweep security under the carpet. He's quite open about the bugs. Which you would know if you actually read misc@.
And this crap about "probably seen it done before"? Please link to an example in the readily available OpenBSD misc@ archives. Oh? What's that? You say the archives have been edited? Are the black silent helicopters following you around everywhere too?
Fortune 500 has an important goal - protect the investors. The SCO fee is a drop in the bucket for the insurance that if SCO by some miracle wins, they (the F-500) are covered and the investors are protected. If SCO loses, the F-500 is out less than what an executive would have spent on a dinner with clients.
Perhaps you should examine the meaning of common carrier - especially the regulations that affect a common carrier. Namely, there's a incorrect opinion on/. that airlines are private business and they can do what they want.
There's something to really love about opening a terminal window on your hand-held and ssh'ing into your main Linux box!
Ok, I'll bite the troll. What would that be? Interactive login session? On the Zaurus keyboard? Tunneling other protocols? Again, whatever you're doing on the Zaurus falls back to data entry. Secure web browsing? You do that on most handhelds that have a we bbrowser. Sure e-mail? When I'm out and about with the PDA, I'm usually out of WiFi or wired ethernet range, so I'm reading/responding/writing offline anyways.
Geek factor? Sure. Nice to have? Can be, although I'd rather have a 2lb subnotebook with a real keyboard and a decent display that doesn't use microfonts. Killer PDA app? Nada.
I picked up one from HSN for $199. It's going on EBay since I received my Tungsten T. I'm SO much happier. More apps focused on PDA usage. Longer running time. Better display (resolution and quality). Easier application syncing. Better form factor. And yeah, I'm a fan of the sliding door PDAs - be it the Zaurus keyboard or the Tungsten T graffiti area.
The concept of the Zaurus is neat - port your Linux proggie to it. Problem is, Linux isn't about PDA-type apps so much as it is about desktop apps.
As clevermonkey said above - the Zaurus feels good in the hand, but usability leaves you wanting more.
Uh, yes. Did you *NOT* see them in the chairs with the gizmo in their heads?
Now on to the really important continuity question. WHY THE FUCK did they have body ports again after having them removed in Matrix? It's like Highlander 2 all over again.

Not interesting (3). 10.2 Jaguar mail.app under imap does check all folders on my machine.

Frelling idiots with moderator points. Why didn't you use your 100% overrated on the MESSAGE I RESPONDED TO!?!?!?! Idiots.
Um, yes. Did you even bother to READ the story?
Frelling idiots with moderator points.
Theora? It sounds like a female character from a bad Star Trek movie.
Boy are they going to make fun of YOU for not knowing your TV lore.
Johnny Mnemonic meets Memento.
I have one word.

Idiot. Buy a Pelican case. Water-tight plus a pressure release valve.
Let's examine history.
1) Feel oppressed by government.
2) Overthrow the government. (No such thing as a PEACEFUL overthrow. No one voluntarily gives up running a country.)
3) First act as new government - make it illegal to overthrow the government.
Rinse and repeat.
The sad thing isn't so much your karma-whore posting as much as the FRELLING IDIOTS THAT WASTED POINTS ON YOUR KARMA-WHORE POSTING.
Again, another person proves a complete lack of knowledge over the term common carrier and how it applies to the business of airlines.
Please stop proving how stupid you are.
Indeed. That doesn't surprise me.
Perhaps you should examine the meaning of common carrier - especially the regulations that affect a common carrier. Namely, there's a incorrect opinion on
Oh? When did airlines stop being common carriers?
Feh. I can drive 1000 miles and not even leave my STATE, let alone my country. Luckily I can walk to the nearest store from my house for beer. :)
Stable? Can you say "port 135"? M$ pulled the plug months ago.
Let's review.
/. for you.
Los Angeles steals^H^H^H^H^Hbuys a TLD == geeky newsworthy.
President Bush falls off a Segway on level ground != geeky newsworthy.
Yep, that's
