Carnivore makes interception of all my net traffic possible. Just think of what they can use this for! If there is ever a return to McCarthyism, and I read something about, say, Karl Marx, I could immediately be marked as a "Red" - draw any parallels with any other "subversive" elements.
I assume, then, that you surf the web and do other activity over the internet through sshing to an account on a machine off your ISP's network, then? Because, if not, all it takes is a good look at the proxy logs, or even just router logs, to see what kind of content you were viewing over the net.
Not to be a smartass, or anything, its just that a lot of people are complaining, but not taking measures against even the current methods of monitoring internet use.
You are approaching this problem in the wrong manner. What you should do is save valuable processor cycles by forgoing any clothes at all on female characters. Besides, we all know that "jiggle" effects are more efficient than "ripple" effects or others associated with clothes:)
(do you hear that roaring sound? i think that's hormones...)
Also, I can't even install Windows 98, because it will crash during the installation process. My proc is an AMD K6-2 400Mhz.
Try looking through/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT to find the processor-specific option for fixing this particular problem, if you can get a look at a FreeBSD machine.
I have been running FreeBSD (supposedly a VERY stable OS) for a few months on my AMD K6-2, and I have noticed the same problems. In fact, I can't even recompile the kernel to fix the problem that is specific to my machine, even though there is a fix for it in the FreeBSD kernel source. It is just plain depressing. make has become the most frustrating aspect of *nix for me, simply because my hardware prevents it from working properly.
BTW, it has to do with some kind of memory hole. I always get signal 11s when trying to make anything.
I'm gonna try my luck with OpenBSD now, since there's not really anything on the machine I care about...
I would say that PS/2 has been pretty successful so far. Look on the back of your computer. What do you think that is that you're keyboard's plugged into? (Unless, of course, you have an Apple, Sun, or other weird hardware.)
It is hard to imagine that something that could look so good on the surface (Microsoft getting totally 0wned) could be so bad for the Free Software Movement. Now potentially any open source project that has anything to do with Microsoft interoperability is open to a law suit. At the very least, it will make accepting contributed code into the CVS tree more difficult.
It has been said that one of the fundamental damages that security breaches cause is not only the loss of data, but the loss of the integrity of data. It is unfortunate that this loss of integrity has to spread to other victims that have basically nothing to do with Microsoft.
Besides, my comment was directed towards ADDICTS, as was clearly stated. If you disagree that addicts should, upon commision of a crime with a victim, recieve forced drug treatment, then be my guest, you have the right to your opinion. I just think it would be socially irresponsible to not do so.
Oops, heh. I was thinking about another response to my comment when I wrote that. Disregard...
Ok, well, maybe Manson was a bad example, as there were other contributing factors that that whole affair. However, off the top of my head, I did find linkage to a local story about how a girl killed herself as a result of LSD. You can find it here.

If it has long-term health effects, they are so subtle that their existence is still disputed after decades of study
Well, except for all the burned out old hippies that you see every once in a while. Maybe that doesn't count as a "health effect," but some of those people I meet sure have some memory problems.
But this is a medical problem, not a law enforcement one.
...until someone on LSD goes off and kills a bunch of people, or someone on coke has a massive car accident. Hell, alcohol is a huge law enforcement problem (drunk driving, etc.), and that is a legal drug! Really, the only way to deal with addicts causing trouble for other people is forcible drug treatment. Which is pretty much what goes on through the courts these days.
I fully agree with you. I would also like to add that one really can go somewhere else after their browser loads. I personally couldn't care less about what's on HotBot when it comes up as the homepage on the computers at my high school. People like the alarmist editors of Slashdot ought to realize that the real problem lies in preventing people from viewing web pages, not forcing them to view one everytime that they open their browser.
No problem. Just block out the scans that come from your ISP, using something like ipchains. For example, for @Home users, just block out *.home.net, because that's what domain they scan from. For users of other providers, just set up something like portsentry, review the logs, and sooner or later, you will discover where your ISP scans you from.
How many commercial software vendors do you know of that have caught flak for having security holes in beta versions of their software?
I sure hope no one was dumb enough to put something important in a -CURRENT release OpenBSD, since everyone knows that those releases are on the bleeding edge of the OS development, and as such should only be used for testing purposes. If you are truely concerned about security or stability, use a -RELEASE version, or at least a -STABLE version.
(Disclaimer: I use FreeBSD, so I don't know if I am correct in mentioning the different states of development, i.e. -CURRENT, -RELEASE, etc. I believe, however, that it is something like this.)
*sniff* *sniff* I just don't know who to love more! I mean, on one hand, we can have someone who only wants to deny "inappropriate" material to the poor (who else would be using public facilities as their sole means of access?), or *sob!* we could have someone who wants to be a censor for EVERYONE! I'm so TORN!
They must be scratching their heads wondering why so many people don't even bother to vote, and a growing percentage of people that do are voting for third party candidates (Nader, Browne).
Data services at prices like this could seriously challange big telephone networks. Why? Even though it is "data-only", that doesn't stop anyone from using VOIP. And with 100Mbps to spare, you can cram quite a lot of seperate voice channels in there, ideally. Of course, this would only be really feasible if the whole internet worked at these kinds of speeds, instead of just one fiber network.
Anyway, I'm sick of companies that think they can charge innocent users good money for buggy releases that should still be in alpha or beta, and then think they can show their faces in public.
I now feel compelled to inform you that GPL licensed software, such as Red Hat Linux, is available for free download. Sorry that I couldn't let you know until after you make such a weak argument.
Don't give me platitudes about how they'll be able to research projects on the Web. With very limited exceptions, it just doesn't happen. What does happen? Games. Note-passing. Oggling naked women. Software piracy (in high school we called it "off-site archival preservation"). Generally, those things that in the past were not allowed in the classroom.
Actually, I spend a lot of my computer time at school looking at Slashdot:-)
Information on the 'net is uncatagorized and unorganized. Students can hardly write these days, do you really think they'll be able to distill terabytes of noise and glean the kilobytes of needed data?
Actually, I can write fairly well, and I still have trouble with gleaning enough useful information from the 'net on topics that I need to reasearch at school. For example, I decided to do a paper on how Microsoft has hurt consumers through its anti-competitive practices for some much-needed extra credit in my 10th grade English class. Easy, right? WRONG! There is tons of crap to sort through, even on a search on Google, or Slashdot, before you can even hope to find concrete information. It has been a nightmare, so far.
Secondly, I fail to see exactly how broadband connections to the internet, or even a massive amount of computers at school, will help the state of education in America today for the disadvantaged (i.e. the poor). Could someone please explain?

This country has enough problems with voter turnout without you actively discouraging them.
