I'd call the Washington Post conservative & pro-big gov't at the same time, but I'm a Liberal (big L). My pinko parents used to think the Washington Post is the bee's knees. Now we're pro-secession San Franciscans. I'm convinced that when the big one hits, it'll be the rest of North America that falls into the ocean.
See, that's a great example. As liberal as the Daily Show is, I guarantee you that (intelligent) conservatives & (intelligent) liberals alike would trust The Daily Show over The Today Show. They're honest about their biases & accuracy.
And then what would their motivation be for creating SE Linux?
I think they consider securing gov't communications a much more critical part of their job than hacking. I bet you it's a bigger part of their budget, leastaways. I bet that forensics is also a bigger part of their budget than hacking. Communications security is easier/cheaper for them to do when Win2K is hard to crack. One less thing they have to do to lock it down.
But we're both definitely talking out of our asses unless we are either violating our security clearance, or reading logs of attacks traced back to the NSA.
And it just depends on what color hat you consider the NSA to have. I guarantee you that they have:
1) Every line of MS's source code, volunteered by MS. 2) Teams of people attempting to find vulnerabilities in the source or with penetration testing.
They probably do submit anything notable that they find back to Microsoft, though. Just because that makes it easier for the NSA to secure the nation's computers, which they sometimes consider their responsibility.
Not watching TV has had the opposite effect on me. I haven't had cable or broadcast in my house for a year now. Whenever I go over to a friend's house, I am completely enthralled by the production value that they can put into every advertisement now.
OMG!@~! It's TIGER WOODS AGIN!
Holy crap! That charbroiled quarter pounder looks DELICIOUS!
I'd say I felt like a kid again, but I was way more jaded when I was a kid.
The Green Mile. No, no. Just kidding. I don't like The Usual Suspects, either. I'm just not into payoff movies. I need more than cleverness. It feels cheap.
If you want a movie that all turns around at the end, and has plenty of high style, I'd vote for China Town.
I recently made up a list of favorite movies, none of which are analogous to Shawshank. But here you go: Dog Star Man, Starman, Spider-man, The Rules of the Game, Throne of Blood, Philadelphia Story, Queen Margot, Bound, Secretary, Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Blue, White, Red, Risky Business, Groundhog Day, Roger Rabbit
One of my grandmothers started using MacOS when she was about 78. She joined the local Mac users group, and was everybody's favorite. She had them photoshop pictures of herself and remove the waddle under her chin. Yeah, vain, I know.
My other grandma is strictly mainframe.
"I know all about computers. My first job was running a computer. What the hell do I need a computer for?"
She ran a database system for a police department. On punch cards, in 1954. She would probably use vi, if we ever got her near a PC.
Baboons are more aggressive than most primates. They're larger and stronger than chimps, but chimps can team up to kill a larger baboon. Baboons are quadrapedal, and based on the TV I've watched, they mostly stick to the ground. I've seen them in trees fighting chimps.
I don't know what their social structure is exactly like, although apparently it's groups that include multiple males, females, and offspring. I don't know if they send adolescent males to other troupes, which happens with some primates.
Baboons look like this. Big teeth. Mean. Chimps, technically, are just as mean. But they look like they're nicer.
Supposedly there are a variety of reasons that DFS won't work for us. I mean, I think we already use it for hardware fault tolerance, but it won't work for us for network faults. Dunno why. I'm not the admin.
And from their web page, there are still caveats. One of their components is advertised as "needing more work before it can be used in production."
My company uses redundant leased lines to home (different breeds and providers) to ensure that every building can access network resources at all times. Manual fail over. We're not a huge company, but we manage most of this in-house. We'd *love* to know if there's a better answer, even if it cost a lot of money.
Well. There's always a better answer on the other side of a long and expensive implementation process.
Another search using the last name of the moderator of a certain mailing list we subscribe to was equally fast and comprehensive.
<giggle giggle> Apparently the first thing this Forbes writer did with gmail is search for "Farber."
It's really annoying how popular the IP list is with tech journalists. Dave Farber is a very smart guy, but I take issue with the spin he puts on 95% of his news items. And I hate his pretentious BS. ("Interesting People"?!? WTF is wrong with him?)
At least on/., I can trust that the readers are technical enough to make up their own minds. I don't care if I disagree with the spin 100% of the time. But the IP list goes to all these relatively non-technical people, parroting to even less technical people...
(Also, keep in mind that Forbes is the magazine that specifically told its reporters that if they can relate a story to Linux, then they should do so.)
The definition of a man in the middle is that he can DOS your connection. There's no communication method that isn't vulnerable to disconnection. Even telepathy, as evidenced by Magneto's anti-Xavier helmet.
What are the positive and negative effects on the offshore locations?
Are these positive and negative effects distributing themselves evenly through these societies, or is it effecting and effected by existing class and social structures?

"If there's material that everyone agrees is wicked, like child pornography, then it's possible to track it down and close it down. But if there's material that only one government says is wicked then, I'm sorry, but that's their tough luck."
Oh, would it were so, Professor Anderson.
There are quite a few of your human governments that don't have a problem with slavery and terrorism, let alone child pornography.
Seems to me that this solves the speeding problem in a way that doesn't involve fines, which have had almost no effect.
Hehehe. Iduno about where you're from, but here in San Francisco (and much of California), traffic laws aren't about solving "the speeding problem." They're about solving the budget problem. Fines are designed to not solve the speeding problem, as that would reduce their ability to fine...

For those of you that have no idea wtf Isikoff's story was:
Conservative (and unreadably lame) Drudge's original story
Liberal Salon's slant
Liberal (for the US) BBC's slant
Washington Post's slant

I agree with you. I kindof like what I know about the NSA. But, as you can see by my other respondent, not everyone feels that way.

The Shawshank redemption is the most popular "favorite movie" among IMDB poll takers.
I'd suggest it might be the most popular movie in America. Hopefully the rest of the world has better taste.
Not exactly obscure.

Isn't this what slashdot should be cheering for, the use of technology that saves lives?
Turn your threshold up.
We're cheering.

I'd be a lot more relaxed if there were 50% as many men where I lived, too. Unclear whether that's still the case after their "generational change."
I don't care what you do. It has nothing to do with homosexuality. Plenty of queers don't do it at all. Plenty of straights do.
If you consider this a moral issue, and want to divide things up based upon sexuality, lesbians are probably the only ones with a moral high ground.
IHBT. IHL. HAND.
More heterosexuals do that than homosexuals, troll.
