Thank you for the observation. I totally agree. i have found that linux users don't even want to acknowledge FreeBSD. And no, I do not mean all linux users. But when I see or have been object of that type of flaminging from them, my retort is always: Linux is a Unix want to be, I use the real thing. I then point out the security history of both branch's. FreeBSD has a much better security history then Linux. OpenBSD puts all of them to shame. chuckle, I also point out that FreeBSD was here LONG before Linux was even a thought process that hadn't even made it to paper. let alone code.
Oh well, not all linux users are like that though. I know a large number of them that always are trying different flavors. Thats why they run VM.
And way to toss in a slippery slope fallacy while you were at it.
Welcome to Slashdot! I'm sure you'll find it quite horrifying to your quaint, outdated sensibilities and concepts of "reasonable discourse", "proper debate", and "knowledge and understanding"! Enjoy your stay!
How can a person enjoy their stay when you have people like you assiting every criminal on the face of the earth with youre DISREGARD for the people victimized by them.
you don't care. Period. Should be you that is victimized and nobody else.
You and people with like minded oppinions do everything in your power to make it easier for criminals to carry on their activities. To not be identified and prosecuted. And to remove any vocie of the victim.
YOU should be held accountable for these actions and fined and jailed for every criminal that is let go.
Maybe there aren't that many blind people at public universities, and dumbing down education for everyone just to make things more convenient for a small fraction of the population, is unreasonable?
Your a fucking idiot. No shit. Just because a person is blind does not make him/her dumb. And HOW does making material accessible to EVERYONE dumbing down.
I have low vision. I have a new Kindle 2. The Kindle 2 will not be usable for all people with low vision.
It is not high contrast. The display is grey on lighter grey.
The largest font size is not all that large.
St the next-to-largest font size I get four to five words per line.
Text-to-speech is very good but not al all like an audiobook. The speed is somewhat variable.
I need a magnifier to even find the keys on the keyboard.
That said, I can read longer and without the pain I get when using a computer or trying to read even a large print book.
I highly recommend that anyone with low vision considering a Kindle 2 make an effort to try one first. This is not going to work if you rely on reverse print color or other high contrast.
Not all books will be accessible via the text-to-speech,and there is no speech for menus or for buying books. ---- I think the big one here is that not all books are accessable on the kindle.
Well, if you ever have to call them for anything, be prepared to translate Habib-English. Other than support consistently getting WORSE (it's rare that I have to call, so this is minor), AT&T has been improving steadily the entire time I've been with them.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, I have never had to 'translate Habib-English' and I have been with AT&T shoot, almost 20 years now that I think about it. First in North eastern Pennsylvania and now in Cleveland Ohio?
I'll stay with AT&T just because twice they gave me breaks on my billing when they did not have to. Once when I was out of area during my brothers funeral, they back dated my coverage change so I wouldn't have to pay roaming calls. And once when I first moved to Ohio, I had back to back 400 dollar cell phone bills. They gave me a 200 dollar break. And no, I asked for neither break.
Well, your arguments are well stated and thought out.
My point is simple. I am adopted. I find no reasons from personal experience, other then health or abuse of the woman for there to be an abortion.
I am also divorced, and gladly accepted my responsibility for my daughter. I am very happy that my x wife did not choose to abort this child and raised her. But, she always had that choice without my having any say in that. That in my mind is a double standard. And the pro choice indiviudals refuse to acknowledge it, which shows to me that they are hypocrits in their positions.
For example, when birth control fails, the father claimed he'd had a vasectomy, or when in the case of rape the woman isn't given the choice of birth control.
I never argued the point of rape. NEVER. Look back, I specificatly address that. Or if there are medical reasons.
There are also ways to avoid the situations of unfairness you mention. Chief amongst them is don't have sex with a woman you don't know well enough to be able to work them all out with.
Who says the man doesn't know the woman. You are making assumptions.
My point is, that women are hypocrits. Plain and simple. They don't want the baby, the man has no choice. Doesn't matter how long the relationship has been going on. They want the baby, the man must pay. Again, doesn't matter how long the relationship.
All I have to do is look at how the moderators label ANYONE that disagrees with their pro-abortion standpoint as troll to know I can't say ANYTHING in rebutal to you.
Womeon want it both ways. They don't want the baby, so they abort it. Father has no choice in that decesion. They want the baby, so they sue the father for child support.
There are MANY ways to not have an abort a baby. And no, not having sex is not in this discussion.
1). Use precautions. A rubber. Wait, she would rather have aids.. Good for her, next time I hope she gets that instead of killing a newborn.
2). Adoption. I'm adopted, enough said.
3). Let the father raise the child if the woman is to insecure to raise it herself. But hey, men have no decesions in this.
4). Use a dildo. You don't want to be responsible for your own actions, but still want to ride the white poney. Then do it artificially.
It's not brain surgery. Women arn't stupid. They are just not being responsible for their own actions.
But hey, they don't have to be responsible for their own actions. Only the man if they decide to keep the child. Then they can just collect child support and say it was all his fault.
These women who were not raped or who's health is in danger have the ability to put their children up for adoption. They don't for one simple reason, they don't want to be responsibile for their own actions. Thus, they kill what they created.
Please note that I specificatly address the fact there are times where abortions are needed. I do not deny that.
Question's for pro choicers. 1). What? Every heard of contraceptives. Or, if in doubt. Pull it out? Jesus, no shit. 2). What, you want to get rid of the baby so bad you can't wait to give it up for abortion? 3). Why does the men not have the choice to raise the child if the woman is so hell bent on aborting it? 4). Do you agree women are being hypocrits when they feel they have this right to abort without men's input, but god forbid. If they wish to have the child, the man must pay child support.
If a woman wants to have an abortion, when there is no medical reason to not carry the child to full term. I think the solution should be for a blind draw of a playing card. If the woman lose's, she is aborted and the child is saved. Otherwise, it is the child that is aborted and not the woman. Fair enough?
Netflix did not give out zip code, age, or gender. That was being offered in the second phase of the contest. ***** The suit is also asking the court to stop Netflix from launching its promised second contest to improve the recommendations — this time giving out user data that includes ZIP codes, ages and gender, along with movie ratings and ID numbers substituted for user names ****
The actual data given out, which the law suit was filed against says 2 data bases with only the following description of what was in it. **** In order to get a better movie recommendation algorithm, the online DVD rental company gave more than 50,000 Netflix Prize contestants two massive datasets. The first included 100 million movie ratings, along with the date of the rating, a unique ID number for the subscriber, and the movie info. Based on this data from 480,000 customers, contestants had to come up with a recommendation algorithm that could predict 10 percent better than Netflix how those same subscribers rated other movies. ****
Ok, I'm confused. I do not see anything in the first descript that would identify a person. The zip code, age, gender was NOT given out. YET.
They talk about two data base's, but only describe the contents of one. They talk about future release of data. Which is age, gender, zip. But it hasn't been given out.
What type of information was in the second data base.
What specificatly is the data the origional law suit was filed about??????
I know, stupid questions.. But there is somethign missing here, or I'm just stupid. or blind(this I will admit to).
When the movies are sent to you, do they arive in any type of packaging that indicate what type of movie you are getting? Or, as when ordering from an adult store it comes in generic brown paper with an alias name of the company that sent it? I always look foward to my brown paper mail deliveries by the way.
Could who ever delivered the package to her door have figured out her taste of movies?
Which brings up another question I have. When ordering the movies, is the order a post card type of request or a sealed envelope?
Shoot, how many marketing firms have been sued for this same type of privacy issue?
5 out of 11 people in the Cleveland ohio(now you know where I live, kind of) like to watch porn who were born in 1959(how old am I really?) or earlier. Males make up 80 percent of this catagory with women all admiting they LOVE porn(Am I male or female).
I understand her concern for privacy, I just don't see enough information being provided to support that concern.
The background knowledge needed to interpret raw climatological data is immense. I'm knee deep in it now, and it's not straight forward. It's not a nice excel spreadsheet. The amount of work that needs to be done to just get the data into the sort of shape where statistics can be done on it is tremendous. A few quick examples:
Arctic measurements. You may already know this, but shit breaks in the cold. All the time. Add in ice melting and thawing, and 50 mph winds, and equipment does not last long. So our data from arctic areas is filled with holes. It's got bogus measurements. Knowing how to spot those bogus results requires an understanding of the equipment being used, how it functions in the cold, and where it's located. You may be able to totally trust a piece of equipment at temperatures over -10C, but have to throw out all data for temperatures below -60C. Just handing out the raw data to anyone will result in some fool taking it as absolute truth.
There are dozens of climatological oscillations in the earth's atmosphere and oceans. El Nino is half of the most famous one. (No, the other half isn't La Nina, it's the Southern Oscillation) When you look at something like temperature data, you see all sorts of ups and downs. When a couple of these oscillations are in phase, you'll have abnormally high or low temperatures. When they're not in phase, you'll have some mixture. If you're trying to analyze temperature patterns on earth and don't know to take these into account, you're just wasting your time, and potentially going to publicize incorrect findings because of it.
Geophysical data is ridiculously hard to work with. You need to understand the engineering of the tools used to collect the data, the tolerances and quirks of them, the areas they're used in, sometimes even HOW they're used to take measurements. On top of that, you need to have a very good understanding of the physical processes of the earth's climate systems to be able to isolate any sort of signal. Otherwise, it's just a chaotic mess.
In short, this requires experts. It's not something that anyone can just hop into Excel with stats 101 under their belt and do. A lot of work is a partnership between engineers, climatologists, AND statisticians. No, your "econometrics heavy MSc" is not enough. Not by a long shot.
Like anything stupidly complicated, it requires the work of experts. If you want to be an expert, you generally need to spend the time studying to BECOME an expert. How does one prove this? Relevant degree and some peer reviewed publications under your belt.
it took you 5 paragraphs to say your smarter then the rest and because of that, nobody should see what you base your oppinion on. Trust you, you know better then us.
i sugest the speaker of the house has alot in common with you.
I have never entirely understood how this problem could be allowed to escalate to the levels we have today. If the statistics that we're always seeing on the bandwidth consumption of spam (and of botnets in general) and the inherent overhead costs associated with that consumption are anywhere close to reality, it seems rather obvious to me that ISPs around the world would have a vested interest in shutting down the botnets on their networks! I mean seriously, folks... let's ignore all of the legislative issues which supposedly prevent them from being able to take action on their own, and just look at the options they'd have if they actually bothered to think about the problem for more than two seconds: For example, if an ISP tasked their phone based tech support staff with spending even as little as ten percent of their time making calls to customers with systems suspected of being compromised, they would probably be able to kill off the lion share of botnet infected systems, simply by informing those customers that there's a problem with their computer which needs to be fixed! Granted, they would probably have a small percentage of false positives, likely in the form of people who are knowingly using P2P clients or something like that... but isn't the benefit of making more bandwidth available for practically everything else (and of course, killing a big chunk of that overhead cost in the process) worth briefly annoying those few people downloading porn or Linux ISOs?
Well... okay; maybe it's more than a few, since I went and lumped porn users in there..... but still.
-- I can give you a reason why the ISP's have not done anything.
- What do you think would happen if the ISP's started terminating service to people suspected of being part of a botnet? They would proably lose as much in court defending their position as they are now in lost band width.
*** By the way, i think they should be terminating service. And then assisting through various programs to help remove the infection. - What do you think would happen if the ISP's started redirecting users away from known infected web sites/irc networks via dns to help stop new infections? Cox did this by the way... And all you heard was an uproar about invasion of privacy by users.
Seriously. WHAT could the ISP's do that would not have them spending all their time in court for either non delivery of services, invasion of privacy, or throtteling charges?
No matter what an ISP did/does, there will allways be accused of either not doing enough(as is occuring now) or of being to heavy handed(as occured with Cox net).
hell, you already have people accusing the ISP's being in bed with RIAA when ever there is even a hint that they are monitoring their network for illegal use of bandwidth. And what, pray tell. does a botnet do? Illegally use bandwidth to perform its other illegal activities(denail of service attacks, identy theft).

Thomas Jefferson was a strict "strict constructionist", but don't tell the liberals.
But like MUCH of Jeffersons writtings and ideas. Once he was president he found real life did not follow his ideals.
also are in control of company data also included in this article?
Banks, credit card companys, medical instutions?
Everything we do that is recorded by IT is controled by contractors. The lowest bidder.
I think the article completley misses the point.

I didn't mean it to come off as you was anti ATT.
My comment was just meant that I had never had India indiviudals on the help desk when ever I called.
Thats all, sorry.
Well, if you ever have to call them for anything, be prepared to translate Habib-English. Other than support consistently getting WORSE (it's rare that I have to call, so this is minor), AT&T has been improving steadily the entire time I've been with them.

So, they have won my loyality.
Flamebait because he said people lost jobs?
I really am learning to not respect AT ALL the moderators on /.
I hear that vibrating cell phones can cause orgasims if they are stuffed down the front of ones pants.
Use of this device while in public WILL cause death or dismemberment"
Not cell phones causing the cancer.
