Prize for an effecient Wind Power Station...except wind power systems are already efficient. There's already a lot of money going into wind power, so there's no need to create extra incentive for the wind power companies to do what they're going to do anyway.
These are the same people that brought the case againist a parody of the Gone with the Wind all the way to the Supreme Court. They can't be making that much money off Gone with the Wind, the whole estate must be devoted to paying their lawyers.
As a progressive, I proclaim Nader is the ass. Cause he is. He's being supported by the same folks behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth ads.
I don't understand why the media plays up Nader so much but seems to ignore the Libertarian and Constitutional candidates. And Nader is on less ballots. So much for the "liberal" media bias.
But you know what happens to townspeople and peasants - sacrifaced to their Dragon master, killed off by a strange plague or senselessly killed by wandering adventurers.
"I'm waiting for somebody to publish the private data (financial, medical, legal) of federal officials and their families on an open internet web server out of the Bahamas. Is this what it will take for the US to enact stringent privacy rules?" Um, no because the federal officials don't write the rules. Congress does.
I don't have the exact quote, but I got it from The Truth by Terry Pratchett. Basically news thats is furthering the interest of the public isn't that interesting to the public. Which explains the sports and "human interest" segments of newspapers and TV. As well as shows like Crossfire.
This doesn't explain why normal news segments feel they need to give equal time to each side, even when one side is just making crap up (witness all the time given to the whole Swift Boat Veterans for Truth).
It does really annoy me how poll-driven the news stories are. It turns into a feedback loop since some people like to think they are voting for a winner, as if their vote didn't count otherwise. And given the polls have a generally conservative bias, since they don't poll people without telephones. It comes down to lazy journalists more then anything.
1. If you think the two parties are indistinguishable, you've either been asleep for 4 years or what are you smoking and where did you get it?
2. It is true that our enlightenment-era Constitution has more protection for freedom of speech and religion then most European nations. The recent ban on head scarves in French schools never could have occured in the US. Well, maybe not 'never occured' but it would require our Supreme Court to be replaced by facists (I doubt even our conservative justices would've gone along with such a ban).
I think there is a rule that if the word 'democracy' is ever used on Slashdot, there has to be some smart-ass fresh from 10th grade government that comes and makes the distinction between Democracy and Republic for us.
Nope, but I would be fairly sure. For it to do it without MSN but just the username, password and friend list one may assume is in the registry, funny.exe would have to include a builtin MSN client.
Its easy to tell which shows originated from G4 and which from TechTV. The G4 shows always have a kind of a lame sense of humor and they're always fawning over whatever product or game that they're talking about. Based on the humor, I'd say the target audience of G4 is the likes of that annoying guy in your eigth grade class. TechTV shows (Screen Savers, easiest to see the difference with X-Play) can actually be funny.
Basically I think LA is a lamer city then San Francisco. If LA notices something it becomes lame practically by definition. Before they were able to have various notables of Silicon Valley live... now they have actors live. Great.
You got it back words. In general, switching to Gaim won't help, cause it isn't any vulnerability in particular being spread. However in this case it would help, because if you set your little sister up with Gaim and she ran the funny.exe one could assume it wouldn't be able to spread itself further (funny.exe not familiar with Gaim).
Even better, set your little sister up with Linux and not have to worry about all the other crap funny.exe will do.
I went ahead and pulled up the article on Wikipedia, which as you might imagine given its purpose, has a pretty extensive article on Public Good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_good
And your right in the academic economic sense. "public good" != "good for the public" (though of course the "public good" might happen to be good for the public, though it might not).
Anyways, next time I'd advise you to either cite sources or be clear that your taking a phrase used casually in a literal academic sense. Its obvious you knew what was meant, but you decided to be difficult.
Yea, I don't really see much problem with folks filling up their account (singular), or just backing up a handful of important files (which I actually might do).
But I guess once GMail goes out of beta (and even now that invitations are as common as dirt), I would worry about folks signing up for dozens of accounts. I'm sure Google would find ways to prevent this that might reduce functionality for everyone (start forcing those annoying human verifaction schemes again, size of attachments etc.)
What, so farms aren't in the public good cause they're making a profit? So cow tipping is not against the public good?
And as to the purpose of Gmail, I'm sure they're planning on making money off of it. This is Google we're talking about, not one of the bubble internet companies that spends all its money on Super Bowl advertisements. Google is planning on a profit I'm sure.
I guess I don't see why objecting to folks using GMail for pr0n storage is so unreasonable.
Another possilibity is that it was posted by the *New York Post* and you shouldn't believe the crap that comes out of that Murdoch paper.
I'm sure your theory about why they hired browser programmers is just as valid as the Posts, assuming the Post was right about them hiring browser programmers.
I don't have problems with Unversities having a policy like this and then only enforcing on students who have anonymous access points. For the same reason you can't have NAT routers on the network, students shouldn't be allowed to give anonymous wireless access. Students computers might then connect to a students router without them even knowing it. And then if the connecting student gets a virus, the wireless access point gets its internet shut off which doesn't actually solve the problem (we had a problem last year where Mac users were getting shut off for spreading worms since Windows users were getting a NAT address from them). Basically it takes away power from the networking team that it needs to be able keep a LAN working, not to mention possible privacy invasions by those running the wireless routers.
Those students who have wireless routers with proper WAP encyption poses really no such threat. It means a student connecting to that router knows what router they are connected to.
If influencing moderators means your aspiring to be God, suppose moderators are Gods themselves, walking amongst us. I'll remember that the next time I get mod points, maybe I'll cure world hunger or something.
Um, hello? Maybe try RTFA. NoMachine has a Windows server. Obviously it can't be as good as it is on X server since he can't use all of its compression techniques, though I understand that its still pretty good. But the security features alone (integrated SSH) make it better for Windows to Windows then VNC... I haven't used it the server end for Windows myself though and its admitedly not their target audience. Actually, Remote Desktop I would imagine to be better for Windows to Windows then VNC, there are clients for it on Linux.

I thought The Incredibles was a pretty stupid looking movie from the trailer. Then it turned out to be great.
The Iron Giant was a great movie as well, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

Its not an encrypted protocol, so its not really secure at all. You really should pipe it through SSH, the way FreeNX does.

Whoa... wait a minute, "Mini" is trademark?

5.3 people will.
We were assuming that you uninstalled MSN (its not like IE, you can uninstall it).
And as the other poster mentioned, the lists are apparently stored on the server and the virus requires you to be logged in.
Nope, but I would be fairly sure. For it to do it without MSN but just the username, password and friend list one may assume is in the registry, funny.exe would have to include a builtin MSN client.

The point is the Bush administration just blew off the Kyoto protocol and didn't do anything to try and improve it.
"and that Europe is not doing so hot itself."
Who said they were? Those countries have pledged to reduce greenhouse admissions.
