I don't get on SL much, much of it due to the crappy support for non-windows machines, but I've got good friends who spend time on it. One of them does it for the free-form roleplay it allows; she's been spending a lot of time in a "Silent Hill"-esque type sim. In real life, she's got lots of friends, and is not trapped by a dead end job. She does it because it's fun, and because she gets to do things that are simply impossible in real life. Trust me, not everyone in these games are in it to live like the beautiful people; some are in there to just have fun.
Wait a minute, you're saying that France getting a "paltry" $3 billion in oil had nothing to do with its refusal to support any action against Iraq, yet the US action was all about the oil? Hypocrite.
In addition to the aforementioned NSS libraries, OpenSSL also has FIPS-certified builds. While in the past OSS crypto was tradtionally not usually certified, that's changed in the past year or two.
Oil wasn't really the primary reason for the invasion. The invasion's got to do with the fact that France and Germany weren't willing to take action against Iraq because they were afraid of getting their own spigot shut off. It's got to do with the fact that the UN is toothless and allows issues to escalate because it's full of crooks and liars. Iraq would not have happened if the UN had taken action when Sadam had first kicked out the inspectors. And the US's debt is in large parts not owed to the rest of the world. A lot of it is internal debt -- debt one department owes to another -- and treasury bills. Also, the debt figure doesn't take into fact inflation, and economic growth. Look here for a more accurate picture.
Oh, you mean tell that to France and Germany, who were bitching about the US actions because they were getting sweetheart oil deals from Sadam's regime, right?
You realized that most of the results in those google searches had nothing to do with tax breaks in detroit, right? Or that any reinvestment plan relies on giving incentives to companies to move back, with the city planning to make its money on taxing secondary effects, like sales tax revenues and income tax revenues, right? Detroit is rebuilding; the town is not as bleak as it was a few decades ago.
You mean the detroit with $1.64 billion in construction projects going on right now?. You fail to understand the American nature to adapt and change. Detroit was wounded, seriously, but is recovering. The US economy as a whole is similarly reactive and resiliant. We're not some pissy little island dependent on resources, we've adapted once and we can do it again.
SCO's still somewhat big in the medical profession. Being one of the first "cheap" unixes, a lot of small medical offices went to SCO in the early 90s during the first big rush to digitize patient charts, etc. I've got a buddy who deals with a lot of SCO installs on a daily basis. It's still used because though SCO is a pain in the ass, migrating away from these recordkeeping apps would be even more painful.
Again, the problem here isn't about someone who knows what the hosts file is. The problem here is that most people don't even know the hosts file exists; these are the people who would be affected so adversely by such an action by MS.
Problem there is that most of the domains used are only used for a few days, a week or two at most. After that, the malicious user moves on to the next throwaway domain name. Blog spam is all about getting one's pagerank high, so that someone looking for terms like xanax, or texas hold-em, will see the spammer's site above more legitimate sites. If you have mod_security installed, you may want to try the comment spam blacklist as a starting point. I recommend only using entries that are a couple months old, after that, spammers just don't use those domains.
I'm glad for two things this AFD. One is for the slashdotter extension(if you don't have it, you can google it your own damn self) to get rid of most of the pink, and two is that I'm colorblind, so my eyes aren't quite at the bleeding stage. Sometimes it pays to be a mutant freak.
More importantly, taco needs to pull out the retarded limit of 50 responses per page. Either that, or fix the overload page to be smart enough that if a thread has more than 50 responses, requesting the next page doesn't pull up the same responses.
Oh, and with inconsistent blocksizes, they're already inconsistent. Some people use 512 byte blocks, some use 32k blocks. The defragger will continue working just as it always has; the OS will take care of things and not create a partition smaller than the sector size.
Most drives nowadays are formatted at 4k already because it's faster than a 512 byte format. With the size of drives, the lost space caused by large clusters is not much of an issue these days. Finally, people concerned about disk space could use a file with a tail gathering scheme, like reiserfs, in order to gain more space.
Apple is hardly at the forefront in FS research here. Pretty much every FS on the planet has had variable cluster sizes for many, many years; I remember back in the DOS days being able to format disks with cluster sizes from 512 bytes to 32 or even 64K. This proposal is talking about the physical sector sizes and getting them equalized with what the default cluster size for most operating systems.
It was a British fleet that burned Washington, not Canadian. Also, remember, before Washington was burned, we burned Toronto to the ground, and we'll do it again if y'all aren't careful.
This makes me curious if that's the actual takedown notice. The one for Scientology has a lot more information regarding exactly what is being taken down. The one for Stormfront just seems to say, "yeah, we had to remove some content." However, more curiously, the noncensored links seem to have been reordered in the searches. Makes me wonder how google eliminates the links - if they just delist, or if they instruct the spider not to even visit the site; any google insiders have more info?
Can you get me an example of a german search page with censored results? The US page seems to say, "yeah, we can't show/everything/, but here's a link to the takedown page, with all the banned URLs. Enjoy." I'm just curious if the German page is similar, or if it just goes into a black hole.
Imprisonment of up to two years for hate speech is draconian. Conviction for "willfully promoting hatred" is draconian. For example, with the right prosecuter, stating "christians are deluded" could be considered by some to be hate speech, as it is a slur against the mental capacities of christans. The problem with the law, again, is that it is overly vague and can be abused to prosecute one's political enemise. It's feel-good legislation at best, and seems rather like thoughtcrime legislation, plain and simple.
The test in the US is simple. Do they pose a clear and present danger? Honestly, do a few yahoos spouting on the internet pose a clear and present danger to any ethnic group, or are y'all getting all worked up over nothing?

That's part of the problem. I'm using an ATI video card. Additionally, I spend a lot of time on a mac, and the engine is slow as fuck there.

You've got a choice. It's called not watching TV.

It costs 40000 to run md5sum on some flash memory cards? Clearly I'm in the wrong part of the IT biz.
Diebold has been in the banking industry for many, many years. Vote fixing is their new exciting field.

Sucks to be you. Sorry, next time, buy decent hardware if you're concerned about FS space.
