Where did we get the idea that it was our responsibility to intervene in the rest of the worlds problems with our military all the time?
When people come in with guns, odds are they will use them. 9 out of 10 times, the damage done in the end will be greater then if we used non-violent methods.
I'm actually thinking it might be a good idea to move offshore myself.
I too was thinking about building a floating platform off the cost. The rent would be cheap and I could commute to san jose by speed boat. Oh wait, thats a stupid idea.
I have been thinking lately that to create a true AI, one would need to give it a robotic interface to our world. Perhaps even raise it like a child. This would be so we would have enough shared experiences with it that we could communicate with it enough to know it was alive. I guess computer AIs could serf the internet to get access to people, but if all it did was that we would just have an AI geek.;)
Also, run each external service on a separate box that has an ip with incoming access blocked by all other computers on the network. ie. if a hacker on that computer tries to connect with another computer on the network, it will be denied access. A hacker could change the ip address with but hopefully somebody would notice that.
Well, while your at it, why not have all inter-network services run through a VPN with IPsec. Or perhaps that's more of a PN not a VPN. I think to be uber-secure, one must assume that every packet that leaves any computer on a network can be looked at by a hacker. Of course, close all ports except the VPN port on internal computers.
If every rout into a network from the outside leads to a dead end even if your web server is compromised, the rest of the network is secure. The only way to gain access to the network from outside should be through a VPN. This access should only be given to specific static IP addresses.
Make log files, and look at them.
Burn a copy of the drive partitions that do not change ( not log files) onto a CD each night. Then compare last nights image file with tonight's image file on a different computer. If they are not the same, your system has been compromised. Reformat the hard disk of the web server, flash the bios, etc. and reinstall.
Just some random ideas. Do I do this? No. But I am not a system administrator. I just a paranoid slashdot reader.
I'm not a lawyer but I think you actually have to have a court case ruling in your favor in order to establish a precedent. Settling out of court does not establish a precedent because the legal system was never enacted.
Personally I will use my Windows Quantum Edition computer to solve arbitrarily large Minesweeper boards. Imagine solving a 1000x1000 game in under a second!
Actually Windows Quantum Edition will solve this problem for us because it will come with Office NP. So doing simple tasks like saving files and spell check will require quantum technology!
Actually I would suggest putting the billions of dollars that go into these extravagant military projects that find new, easier, faster ways to kill people into educating people so they don't want to kill people. And while were at it, how about some state funded medical insurance that doesn't suck.
So microsoft is sharing it, eh? Who has seen it? How bad is it? I am curious to know what kind of obsfucation has been crashing my computer for all these years.
It wasn't non-conformist for the sake of being non-conformist (because it was the style at the time), rather, it expressed some emotion or feeling that the general population was able to identify with. Not because that was the "style" at the time
I don't know, an onion in a belt doesn't really express much emotion, but I think it has lots of merit.
thats funny because it seems everytime something crashes with mine, you hit the famous ctrl-alt-del and it brings up the task manager but you can't actually use it because the mouse is frozen. It could be because we have some fancy optical mouse that requires more software to run then a normal mouse. But the keyboard doesn't really work ether. Of if it does it seems delayed by soo long that it is not functional. I wonder what the difference is between our systems.

because when xp has no crash recovery. Win2k is more stable then xp. Yes, I admit it does seem to shutdown and restart nicely, but restarting your computer is just so 90s.
The reason this sort of thing is happening is because of the vast difference in salaries in different countries, but the lifestyle difference is not as great as one might think. Its just the currency exchange rates make everything much cheaper in other countries. So corporations are taking advantage of this. What will happen eventually is the cost of living will become standardized around the world. So it will not matter which country a worker works in, he will still make the same salary. Unfortunately, because the dollar is so strong we will get screwed until this happens.
I think it is difficult to talk about the speed of a photon in the rest frame of another photon. This is because any rest frame traveling at the speed of light experiences no change in time. Time stands still. It will travel to the end of the universe and back (assuming it was not annihilated in route) and will never experience time.

No, no, c is relitive to anything. That is the magic of the math of special relitivity. No matter what refrence frame you look at something moving at the speed of light, it is still moving at the speed of light. Distance and time are physicly warped to inforce this speed limit. It sounds crazy but its true. There is no ether.
(warning: Its new years, I am drunk.) E=mc^2 is the non-relitivistic version of the equation. Yes its only accurate when lambda is about one. When it is not the equation is E= lambda *mc^2 where lambda is like squroot(1/(1+ (V/c)^2) or something. But anyway, its silly to talk about things in physics not being absolutly correct. Nothing in physics is absolutly correct. Everything is an approximation, even the speed of light. Its just a matter of how accurate an approximation it is, and is it accurate enough for what you want to know. For most of us E=mc^2 is good enough, but for those folks who like to know the energy of particles moving really damm fast, well, they add the lambda. So that basicly is how it works.
But if your vpn gave dynamic ip addresses out and then just did not link each persons id code with their dynamic ip, then nobody could follow the trail. Also perhaps the id code would be a swiss bank account number. One gets two levels of security that way.
Perhaps there is an easier way to make yourself anonymous if your a hacker, but it would be interesting if someone opened a company in Switzerland or something that provided anonymous internet access. Perhaps, a giant virtual private network that routed all packets to the internet through a single set of ip addresses and did not keep logs. Hence, people could access the Internet anonymously. All Goggle or anyone else would know is that the trail stopped at your service. Anybody know an easier way?

TV and radio news lie all the time and cover up all sorts of dirty stories. Why don't we worry about lies that actually make a difference?
