Actually it does suck, and I say this as an OS X fan. I don't want my home directory encrypted. Why should I encrypt my mp3s and photo collection? But I do want the option of encrypting a folder. The amount of data that really needs encryption is tiny compared to the amount of stuff on my hard drive.
Seriously, what do you propose? Educate them? This is national security that is potentially at stake here, people. We cannot simply turn to the logical solution. There's only one way to deal with this problem and that is to nip it in the bud. All non-IE browsers should be outlawed forthwith and anyone caught using them should be sent to Guantanamo for interrogation.
No; they're making 754 more examples. After several thousand others. After a certain number of "examples", doesn't it become a general strategy? The point is, the examples are not working to scare people away from downloading. This may be well within their rights according to current copyright law, but it is stupid, mean-spirited, and it just shows how out of touch they are with the realities of technology and of the economy of music. As someone else pointed out above, nobody is forcing these people to continue making money from an obsolete business model. And it is shameful that they are willing to call in the government to protect their "right" to make money from such a model, at the point of a gun, especially when said government has so many more important challenges to focus on at the moment.
The title is "Space penguin could hop around moon." It could hop once someone designs a driver for its flippers, and assuming penguin_hop-0.2.7 is properly compiled (be sure to check for dependency errors). Oh yeah, and someone still needs to build support for the feet, so hopping will still be erratic. Any questions? RTFM. But the documents are only half done, so you're going to have to guess the rest by scanning the code for comments, but that's what open source is about, right?
If the penguins were running OS X the title of this article would be "Space Penguin Hops Around Moon."
Bread soaked in sugar.... with strong coffee.... Mmmmmm.
I'm still planning to head out to NOLA for jazzfest in April; I figure by then the city will be back to its old self, perhaps a little filthier and swampier than usual.
If you were dealing with just building over water, you might be fine, but this is New Orleans we're talking about. The alcohol content of the water there makes this entirely impractical.
Given the amount of disinformation and just plain false assumptions coming out of the Pentagon lately - and especially out of the OSP, which was basically created to legitimize such disinformation - this is not only weak speculation; it has no credibility at all. There are people at the Pentagon convinced of many things that there is no evidence whatsoever for, such as that Saddam was behind 9/11.
Dude you didn't get rid of him... he's still under that frisbee!
Seriously this reminds me of an apartment I almost rented years ago... it was an attic of a building; there was a guy living there who was moving out in a few weeks and I was about to hand over the money when I noticed a butterfly net near his futon.... Being a smartass I was like, "Hey, are you a lepidopterist?" He said no, no, that's for the bats. Huh? "Oh it's no big deal - they show up every once in a while. You just turn on the radio to confuse their sonar and catch them with this net." OK, then what do I do? The guy picks up a baseball bat... "You hit it a few times with this bat until it stops moving and then you can flush it down the toilet." I almost lost my lunch right there. I wound up renting a room on the first floor -- so I lived in the house but I never ventured up to the attic after that story. I think bats are really cool but I could not imagine having to catch them and kill them in my bedroom on a regular enough basis to keep a net next to my bed.
yellow dog is rpm-based. debian is debian. yellow dog is probably running several bleeding edge components and comes configured with a cool interface. debian is debian. you're going to hear all kinds of arguments on both sides of this question; issues about RPM vs. apt-get and whether stability is better than currency and so forth; but the bottom line is, use debian. I mean, OS X.
This is exactly what I've been looking for -- a simple, straightforward explanation and discussion of open source philosophy and technology that is both up to date and accessible to students likely trained on Windows who aren't particularly interested in computer science or technical details. I'll probably use this in a course that I teach, but I wish there were a little more detail on the philosophy and specifically some information about licensing -- there just isn't enough information about licensing at all here so you're right it makes it seem as if all open source licenses are the same.
I wouldn't mind having a few doses of this, though, for LAN parties. While everyone else is struggling to drag their mouse across their mousepad, I'll still be zipping around, even long after the Bawls run out.
There's already a drug for this purpose. It's an alkaloid from some plant in South America. Because of typical government overregulation, it is not available over the counter, but your local street corner may have an independent entrepreneur or two willing to sell it to you.
Shawn Fanning did not create napster. His college roommate did; Shawn stole the disk while he was asleep at his keyboard. I forget the roommate's name but this was on the news or something. Or a movie. Err, I mean, some terrorist told me this before he tried to blow up the airport. Or something....

If Mini satellites could revolutionize the space industry, think what big ones could do!
Less crosstalk, more crossrock!! Yeah, Stryper!

So what you're saying is there's only a one-third chance that it is wrong?
Real Old Men used WAIS to search. During the Reagan Administration!
Hey, at least he doesn't have a silent "3" in his name.

So you're saying that the CIA spent time and money reading photocopied summaries of reports from the New York Times?

Yes, but once they get the kinks ironed out in their echolocation, they will be able to go in the right direction.
You mean the fat whiny guy from Michigan?

Do we really need ads coming at us from everywhere? Is nothing sacred anymore? Now we also have to put up with advertising on billboards?!
just change the wikipedia entry, and then he will have it right.
