USA vs Dmitry, not State vs. Dmitry. The federal government is more likely to pull "evidence" out of their ass, intimidate witnesses and do other fun stuff like raid a house with 30 agents in full body armor and with fully automatic weapons. Uncle Sam is now the portly guy holding the assault rifle 2 inches from Elian Gonzalez's face.

Realize that there is a world out there that is different than your pitiful american, sitcom watching existence as a sheep.
The USA is not the majority of the world, and just because they bomb the shit out of other people every few years, it does not give it the right to act as some moral / ethical authority who can arrest citizens of foreign nations because he or she pissed off an American company.
We release pornos on a daily basis and as pissed as the leaders in Afghanistan are, you don't see them stoning American women to death for their "crimes". Or people being whipped for drinking booze.
Russian law is not American law, I thought that even to a troll like you, that should be obvious. There they pop you in the back of the head with a revolver after the trial, here we have appeals and needles, and rapists don't get a bullet in the base of the skull.
Do yourself a favor and actually leave the State you grew up in and see the rest of the world.
What Dmitry did WAS LEGAL on his native soil, that is the point. The USA has NO RIGHTS to be imposing their system of justice on citizens of foreign, soverign nations.
Damn, I'd love to see your whole outlook change after about 20 minutes in Russia.

I suppose the extra ram is there for times that things get rough, i.e. being hit by a lot of requests, etc. It seems to me that exchange isn't that generous about releasing memory either.
I don't see the point of sucking a lot and then releasing, especially considering that if it does release the ram, there is no way of getting that ram back without killing the process that it gave it too.
I dunno. I'm going back to my 3mb using basic mail server, with my 20ish emails a day, it should be able to handle it.

Wow. this post is horribly off topic, but hey. Horribly long too.
You underestimate the effect of a small army of people who are armed with such things are M-16's (or a wide variety of other, better guns), as well as the millions of others who have deadly chemicals under their kitchen counters. I need only to point to WW2, or even Vietnam, where hundreds of "freedom fighters" inflicted quite a bit of damage on occuping troops (either by pouring sugar into gas tanks, setting fire to convoys or by killing the occuping forces directly a la Vietnam.) The vietnamese had _nothing_ like what the average american has (today) the majority the country was either forest or farmland - I'm sure people in the usa could come up with a few "interesting" things. Hell, drive a SUV with a few hundred shotgun shells in the back seat into ___________ at 80 miles an hour. Molitovs are also suprisingly effective against quite a few things.
Oh. Here's a great article I found on yahoo today. 20 people inflicted massive damage on an airport. This is in a country that has been wracked by civil war for decades, not the USA, where someone can run onto the runway by defeating one lock (of a "push 4 buttons in sequence" type, where the code is known by pretty much everybody, and if not, a mirror and a bent piece of wire to lift up the little flappy thing that covers it is also a way to get the code.)
Anyways, the link.

Your point about Yugoslavia is well, not really applicable - the difference is that in Yugoslavia, the USA did not send in ground forces to occupy territory, as they would have to in the USA - they could simply bomb the city from the air - you can't do that while having an occupying army within the city, friendly fire is demoralizing at best, and fighting inside a city against an entrenched enemy who knows the area is very difficult - ask a russian who came back (few here) from Afghanistan in the 70's or Chechnya, or ask a German who came back from Stalingrad.
Besides, it takes only one person with one gun and one bullet to make a very visible political (or otherwise) statement. It will be really interesting the day a sniper opens fire on police
Not good for anyone at the protest, but still interesting, and I'm sure it will make the 6pm news.
As for the previous poster's comment about American's getting a spine, which you laughed at, remember that Tim McVeigh made a crater 30 ft deep outside a certain federal building - something, which required almost no knowledge of chemistry and used only freely available and plentiful materials. The only thing holding quite a few people back from doing this is that the government has not pissed them off enough, I'll say that some "citizen milita-like" meetings are pretty interesting, if mostly huffed up chests and BS.
I'm all for votes and faith in public officials, indeed, it is the only way to do things in a civil manner, but the second ammendment was written during a time where things were not done "politely", and written in the belief that such a time would come again - with the enemy being either foreign or domestic.
Ironically, you mention that the NRA changes things "because their members work the political process through votes and money" - which I belive is the whole point of the original poster's post - that money is at the very root of political change at the current time - and that money is not something that Joe Citizen can spend, but something that corporations can.

Dude(tte), I'd hate to mention this, but the US is not a democracy, but a Constitutional Republic.
Nearly 100% of the power in this country lies not with it's elected leaders, but within the few members of the Supreme Court.
I'd say oligarchy, especially if we include all the filthy rich people who contribute millions to political campaigns, but hey....
BTW, do yourself a quick favor and look up firstly how many previous presidents were not from very wealthy families, and then go down the list and compare the percentages with those with positions such as governor, senator etc...

150Mb? What the hell is in there? Does incoming mail get some kind of virtual reality tour of the Universe?
No fucking idea. All I know is that win2k uses about 300 w/o it as a DC, and about 500ish after I install the server. I'm assuming it's normal because I put exchange on two machines with the same results.
Anybody can shed some light on the topic?

Though I don't want to troll, I just installed exchange server (was kind of bored, wanted to learn) and I'd say that freaking ANYTHING is smaller, quicker and uses less resources. It uses 150mb of RAM. WTF?

No way! Dude, they, like, allowed manufacturers to remove the internet explorer icon from the desktop and shit!
The like, competition might dominate the market and like bankrupt MS. This is, like, umm, risky or something.
They, like shouldn't be sued now.
Oh. Shit. They already killed the competition.
Bad grammar aside, their "remove the IE icon" trick is typical of the shit they pull (i.e. conquer, kill all competition, then agree to tone down and watch as everyone comes back to them willingly.) "Please Sir, Can I have another?"
I have no idea what a few people in New Mexico are thinking. WTF? seems to be the most appropriate response.

As unrealistic as "Fourth - someone breaking into an arsenal, putting a bomb together and blowing it up" sounds, you have to admit it would be pretty funny.
If someone broke into an arsenal, stole a nuke, then broke into fort knox and detonated it, it'd be even funnier. To undermine the US dollar or something.

Why the fuck should ms get money for redirecting users to the kodak site? Especially considering that kodak's software, which is given to the user to use when they buy a digital camera, will do that automatically.
I can understand if there is no software (for transmitting pics over the net) in place - fine, then it is a convienience (though I think charging it is kind of low), but defeating whatever the customer paid for (the SW) is ludicrious and really overstepping your bounds.
In the future, I see that Kodak and some other camera makers will have to encrypt the pictures to protect them - after all, once this system is in place, what's to stop MS from increasing the price per picture 400%, or even saying "fuck kodak" and transmitting all pictures to msn shutterbug (or something).
Any way you cut it, this is a very hostile action towards Kodak's profit margins.
And kodak isn't exectly doing too well. In fact, they are doing kinda shitty right now.

Incidentally, loss of spelling ability is the first (noticable) sign of excessive alcohol consumption.
Most certainly on a long term basis (i.e. a habitual drunk), but also supposedly with mild intoxication.

I was talking about burning an otp file to a cd, and then having the ability (in the message) not to reuse the portions of the CD, not to send the file over the net.
Then win2k shit, and I started over.. must of left that out.
I think that the OTP file would be just as vunerable as your private key, because, after all, it is stored on your computer, that's subject to theft/social engineering.
But for people who you can trust (friends) - and are competent, do you think this method would work?
I'm writing a program that does, and just wondering about how good something like this would be.

Writing it down is kind of enough, inputting it into a watch that has two buttons to change letters is even better - I kind of did the same thing with a timex (forget the name now) watch and french verb conjugations. Ironically, by the time they were input, they werent needed.
