The polar lander crashed. It was given up for dead. Have some respect for it. We could probably 'rescue' it and try to reprogram it. The people over at Nasa are geniuses ( yes, the real rocket scientists) but the public has already said goodbye. Besides, how do we know this is not some 'coverup' by Nasa to get more funding now that Bush has cut their already meager supply back? 30 minutes, 300 million miles, and Photoshop, and they can have anything they want. Who is going to check them?
It sure seems that President Bush did what any of you would do - in order to protect his privacy, he decided to not use email while as a president. Any email that he would send from the White House would be public property - the letters to his family, friends, lovers, anyone.
yes, it means that Bush cannot be communicating with many of his friends, but as President, he has to give up some things. He wants to protect the privacy of his friends as well. I don't know why Timothy and Michael and everyone else below this are seeing this as something bad or whatever. Bush knows the laws, and wants to protect his own privacy. You do the same!
I know many of you are going to disagree with me, but I believe in myself. If everything was expressed in pictures, there are too many problems communicating. For example, if I do not like you, and you disgust me, I have to search for words to express myself. With an image I can convey myself instantly, but it will be misenterpreted. With words, the answer is always clear, and precise. If I do not like you I can say "I hate you," yet if I goatse.cx you, then you might interpret that as a sign of affection. Some people get turned on by that.
Another example is the cave paintings from the ice ages. We don't really know what they mean. Perhaps they are some form of bestility porn? Who knows? It could be a migration route, or maybe it is just a shopping list. Who knows? Communicate in words, and we all understand
Pictures are easier to understand than words. That's why they used as many pictures as possible on deep space probes. ALthough, some topics might be difficult to express in pictures - a notable example being "FIRST POST" What do you think?
Yes, the major drawback to Exchange is it's price. It is a lousy mail server for 3 people. I'm quite possibly the only person in the world who uses a licensed copy for 3 people. I bought it at a flea market (where some silly net-admin sold it after leaving his previous job, I'm sure)If I didn't get it for 100 bucks, I'd find another solution. Exchange isn't worth it unless you have many users. You've hit everything right on the head~
Exchange is great. But you'd be crazy to go out and buy a fresh copy from Microsoft for home use. Well, unless you have a thousand dollars to throw away. If you do, throw some my way, please..
I've never had a problem with it. Exchange 5.5 is pretty good, and I hear Exchange 2000 is even better. If you use Outlook Web Access, you even get all the great features of Outlook, minus all the bad ones (scripting). It's a pretty good system!
You work for a dot.com. Get out. Its probably going under. If the company isn't making YOU happy, then why should you stay? Unless you are making so much money that it would be stupid for you to leave, then get the hell out.
genomes don't make power. Why is the DOE looking into this? What are they going to get from it? We all know the government doesn't do anything for free.
Come on. By returning your junk mail, you put a load on the US Postal system. You talk about a waste of resources. The mail carriers now have an extra 50 tons of return-to-sender mail to deliver. That's extra mail trucks, more airplanes to carry it, even more postmen to bring it into the building. Imagine if Visa sent out 10 million applications with their return envelope. Now, if 500,000 people return it, filled with iron pellets, what's the poor mailman going to do? You'll break his back!
What about the cost to the company? You've returned their mailing, so now they know you read whatever they send to you. Do you expect to get less mail from them? No! They'll sell your name to a list as a person who actually reads their mail!
This is pure idiotocracy. Stop fueling this wierd idea that you're saving the enviroment by returning envelopes. All you are doing is hurting all of us. Now, the company is going to send out more mail, to collect that 30 cents they lost from you. Just be smart, and drop it into the shredder, and recycle the clippings.
The 'after-the-hack' is more interesting, but if you are just going after the prize..
Just cracking the box is easy. All you have to do is just find the one patch the admin did not install, and then use that, toss a wedge in it, and soon you have r00t.
Trying to find out who put that wedge in place, is a litte more difficult. It takes skill, knowledge, and some luck.
By the time I post this, I am sure it will be redundant, but ah well, I won't post with score bonus.
Should I work on cracking a machine, and get $50,000 crisp US Dollars, or should I work on finding who cracked a machine, and get a 10 dollar book. Hm. This is a hard decision.
"If you really read the article, it says the reason that it was one of the worst jobs was because they had to look at the nasty images like the ones on goatse.cx and comp-u-geek.net. And sites that combine those with loops of moving javascript popup windows."
Oh, they read Slashdot all day?
Because they want.con ! Congress.con. All the senators and representatives can have their own pages.. Even better! Great, I can see it now, Paypai.con...amazon.con...doubleclick.con..
Hm, it might put an end to some squatting. Who else wants a.con?
Why the press release uses 'Linux' instead of 'VA Linux.' One fellow poster even went so far as to suggest that this was some kind of Microsoft plot (like everything is on Slashdot..)to draw criticism of Linux (the kernel) I'd like to point several things out to these people:
Look at the name VA Linux - 'Linux' is the largest portion of the name
This lawsuit is about the aclaimed practices of VA Linux during their IPO - Their sticker name is LNUX I believe (or something very close)
One of the company's biggest focus is on Linux
Any ( and probably all ) these reasons could be why the lawfirm chose to use 'Linux' as the abbreviation of VA Linux. It really does make sense when you think about it.
gr, Stupid l337speak and > and greaterthansigninterpretedasHTML.. Now, what I was saying..I dont blame Microsoft. Blame years and years of haxors and w4rez people having releases of software before MS Developers did. The software was available for free, downloadable off the web, thanks to ISOs, before it was in stores. Thank the hundreds of thousands of people with illegal copies of Office, Windows, Visual Developer, etc. I'm not surprised, and you shouldn't be either.
I'm not saying cheers to MS, I'm saying it doesn't surprise me that they'd do this to prevent some of the rapent software piracy. I do wonder what they will do next though.

At this point, it should be pretty clear which is the original article and which is the changed one. BTW, if the people at Slashdot save a copy of the web pages before they post it, then check their original copy. You'll find that the date was really "12/29/00" at the review site, and not the "3/29/00" that it is now.
Ha - the Slashdot authors don't even read the stories before posting them..
They have an entire park of them. Meadowdale Playfields has 16 statues in it. I don't know if this is the same place the 2001 monolith is located, but.. A story about the park can be found here. I think it's pretty cool. If I was the mayor / town council of anywhere, I would have done something like this - except a little more permanent, with nice material. Hey - kudos to the person/thing/ that did this one! ( has anyone touched it yet?)

my site, as usual. head on over, to check it out. Give it a whirl, and it'll eventually get finished. The terms and conditions are also there.
Freshmeat > Sourceforge.
Sorry Andover / VA Linux, Sourceforge is too slow. I like Freshmeat

Why make yourself miserable?
