I understand the issue, and I don't agree with the screening. However, I also feel you should be responsible for your choices. Fix it, avoid it, or live with it. Don't get all the way up to the screening and then bitch about it. You knew before hand it was coming.
Nonsense! If no one ever complains, how will a critical mass ever build? I'll never understand the idea that everyone should quietly enjoy mistreatment until they're actually ready to march in the streets.
I've watched ideas I've presented in a meeting be completely ignored, yet similar ideas proposed by others later on are acknowledged and discussed.
Can't comment on your situation directly because I wasn't there, but I wonder if this has to do with the differences I've noticed in the way that males and females communicate.
I often find that some women tend to be somewhat imprecise with their language when describing technical matters. These imprecisions can mean the difference (to a man's ears) between an idea that sounds like it will work and one that doesn't. Other women, however, seem to have an almost 6th-sense ability to understand the implied meaning with great accuracy.
Did I miss the announcement when 1 billion people suddenly became morons?
Oh hell. I knew somebody was going to say something like that.
I was implying nothing of the sort.
I'm not going to be a part of any pro- or anti- middle-eastern thinking debate.
Can we perhaps agree, though, that while the Arabs (yes, I have been corrected that Afghanistan is not, in fact, an 'Arab country') kept science alive while The West was in the dark ages, new and innovative thinking has more or less been stiffled there for hundreds of years.
While there's nothing groundbreaking about the 'inventions' themselves, the fact that he has persisted with his tinkering in the midst of an Arab culture speaks of incredible curiosity, freethinking, and persistence.
I applaud this man. A kindred spirit in an alien world.
The Russians pretty much dominate human chess. Now that things have shifted to machine chess, robots with chainsaws in the crotch are an obvious next move.
...VisitorWorld! I really like what they've done here.
Now, wouldn't it be great if you could have a central server recieving the logs from all of the separate VisitorVille-using sites... mix in a little geographic data... and you could have a map of the world showing Internet city density by location.
Then you could do other cool things like show streets, roads and highways to indicate routes between nodes.
You could show air traffic for wireless connections, etc. The mind boggles.
Anytime, anywhere, when a spammer gets jail time, a death sentence, raped, shot, stabbed, beaten, pursued by goblins, eaten by robot men or robot dogs, burned, molested by snakes, bitten by wolves, dipped in acid, exsanguinated, trampled by cattle, or lost at sea...
"People selling these fresh proxies are either the virus writers themselves or someone very close to them. I don't know how ties between spammers and virus writers was first forged but there is clearly a strong link there," he added.

"The new Microsoft Partner Programme is here."
All this time I've been saying that the GGF (AuthZ-WG, OGSA-SEC [WS-SEC], CAOPS-WG [CP/CPS with CA], OGSA-AUTHZ [PERMIS, CAS, VOMS...], SA3-RG, ARRG-RG [X.509, SAML...]) needs to address OGSA, OGSI, and WSRF problems with PKI-based security!
I've always had fun thinking about the future of automobiles if such technology were adapted for cars.
Why, we could have toilet seats instead of regular seats! Simply pull the privacy curtain around you, crap in your seat, and you're good to go for another 20 miles!
Could an 18-wheeler with a full load of cattle make a "free" trip to its destination?

I hope you need urgent medical attention one day, so urgent that it requires you to fly.
Why the fuck would you hope that?
And yet you post anonymously, oh coward.
Offtopic?
Nay, ever heard of bing cherries?
Good lord! That article contains the phrase "gone badly wrong"!!!!

I dunno, this distro has Roger Moore and Moore is no Connery, but I guess I must accept change in all things, including BSD.
Like this is anything new... I had a Casio musical keyboard in like the '80s with a Bossa Nova key.
accidental or deliberate creation of pathogenic biological components.
Sorry folks, that's the last time I leave the milk out while on vacation. Promise.
Good call, though I would have to nominate the same director's _Stalker_ as being even slower (though I found the plot to be more coherent).

I notice you've been marked down as a 'troll'. That's clearly unfair because you're right! The two main languages of Afghanistan are Pushtu and Dari.
I don't have a leg to stand on in geographic terms, either. I conceed.

Just out of curiosity, what would you consider to be a genuine USAian last name? Washington, Jefferson, or Franklin?
I heartily recommend Rise of the Triad.
It is very imporant for all of the children of the world to learn of the dangers of The Triad.

Thank you, you just made my morning.

Greetings sir,
I would just like to inform you that your hilarious sig almost made me spit up a healthy portion of water at a most inappropriate time.
Thank you, that is all.
From the article: Good stuff.
All of the oozing and bleeding goes away after a while. Then you're left with just the smell... Success!!
Oh... Success of Open Source. Whoah...never mind.
I, for one, am overjoyed to hear this!
Business people with things stuck between their teeth are the scourge of the Earth!
