Make them rich and imperialist, but rich people are far harder to spite and control in general. They tend to have nuclear weapons in their posession. so scratch that.
Yeah like US will pay. Like they have followed WTO decision on lumber dispute, which was decided against United States. If something like this comes around, they will make sure those on other side of the line will suffer in many other ways.
Isn't Al.Quaeda is a list of non-related organizations, bad people, that you know hate israel and all and need to be stomped out like roaches, before they come and get us? So far rehotric from governments has been as full of holes as collander. Idea is Iraq was suppose to be won and Halliburton would get most of iraq's oil. Then convert Iraq into US controlled dictatorship with, and shake a stick at neighbouring countries to scare up domestic oil prices. In the end it is about the money and who gets and how much, everything else is justification, excuses etc etc. I mean there are people who will talk circles around you and sound reasonable and they talk for the wealthy and powerful who run this war.
Point is Iraq is about free oil, solders went to get it, but along the way everything got screwed up. Now it is a rotten pile of crap and no one wants to take responsibility. I mean, ok take the oil, but so that it won't be laced with innocent blood. Sprikle the conflict with contract killers and defenders and you got situation that will hurt United states for years to come. But not arms producers that sell their weaponry to israel and rogue parties via unoffical channels.
It does not matter that they have ignored the signs. Bin laden is a friend of the bush family, ultimately. Point is, that conflict was poorly planned and executed. For that Bush needs to be impeached. And what about fake tapes CIA has scared up and the WMD-evidential documents it copied and pasted from google.
As well lets take side of the devil, put tin foil hat on and say Bush administration took hand, not a direct role in planning out twin tower destruction. How would public deal with the fact that president is mass murderer. Like after columbine, the nation failed to deal with aftermath kept on living the way it was. So in a sense, taking off my tin foil hat, Bush administration couldn't have planned the destruction of twin towers. Socio-economic impact would be highly unpredictable and probably catastrofic. It is fear, that runs in this country to talk about the truth, or possible truth and fear of digging deep with "why's" is how this will continue.
It was ok for United States act before like it did. But now manufacturing and technological powers coming onto the block and they want the piece of the pie and sooner or later north america won't be such a great market to be a part of. And as soon as first capitalist nation, flag leaves United states you better be prepared for it. I don't say next year or two, but in 10 years geopolitical situation will force americans to share or be pushed aside and down.
But public soon forgets and moves on to eating their happy meals at macdonalds driving their hummers like they did 10 years ago.
... "Smart people, who enjoy using their minds when they play. These are the people who appreciate the serious simulations. If intelligence were the sole criterion, it would make all puzzle games highbrow; but they have to be aesthetically appealing or innovative as well."...
Nothing like a serious frag session smashing the bits out of your opponenets after day's sitting around coding. As intellectually devoid as possible. People's preferences do not lie with their capacities or relics of their own past. ie education, career goals. Perhaps familiy upbringing matters more. Dentists I know, least intersting introspective people I know, play a variety of role playing games. My roleplaying game is programming. My recreation is a bar, a FPS game, morning out on the blades, a kung-foo class, interesting book. I don't like to be pigeonholed , doubt anyone else is too. ALSO: nothing is worse then a game that makes you feel stupid. Even if you are an intellectual, and like women with nice bodies, jumping puzzles sometimes aren't they way to go!;-) This guy's an ass. 2c
As far as my popular understanding of the domain goes, it goes like this. Before there was quantum phyiscs. Scientists thought lets smash these atoms see if there is anything inside them. So to the dismay of theirs they have been rewarded with millions of particle types quarks, muons etc etc. that they are trying to categorized catalogue, derive properties of. Some of them didn't like the idea that millions of disjoint test results as material for explaining universe's compositions. With advances in field of mathematics and nod from those early einstein papers they moved on trying produce the theory of everything. Sort of like beautiful theory of relativity. Though relativity has been easy to test and formulas are often recognized by some 6th 7th grade students (E=mc^@), string theory is quite a bit more complicated then that. As it stands of nearly infinite data result domain of quantum physics.
As the string theory suggests that protons neutrons and electrons are singlewaveforms of certain frequency. And smashed atoms and half-waveforms and for some reason decay rapidly.
I suppose it is an excersize in occam's razor placed into the future when theory can be verified. Why scientists are folling said theory, is in their wet deams they think of Unified field theory, which string theory may well support.
Just like way back as someone mentioned here Bohr's suppositions were incorrect in many ways, but generally incorrect. Perhaps string theory will inspire a new one in the future, that will make more sense.
But for now I would think it should be renamed a hypothesis, away from shameless marketing of non existant product!:) 2c.
Lol, no coffee in the morning can do some of the worst things to my spelling and grammar. As for diversifying work fields only will give you strength in future endeavours in the computing field, I agree. You don't have to surcome down to McDonalds though. May do some painting work or something.
Integrity compared to who, banks? If thief's treasure chest has holes in it would you tell him? I won't pity banks, they are money extraction mechanisms. Call me relativist. It is less then favorable predicament person themselves into. However the guy has gained some mindshare. If they bank was a non-profit organization, then maybe. However, if guy poked around and found glaring holes, its only enterpreneurship would distinguish this guy from regular stiff. Take opportunity that you get, clearly the bank won't pay anything to the guy. In fact it will be a double bind. Say they pay him after writing up a contract. It would be harder to incriminate him. But if he'd divulge vulnerabilities for no charge bank will: 1. ignore it 2. threaten the individual
because money was involved bank, being one knowing about the money, a red flag somewhere raised, so this happend. Its sort of like going to a neighborhood and selling surveilance equipment, while mentioning that a serial killer, a rapist and a pedophile movied into the neighborhood. Also referring to the gunshop for a cut in sales. Its a biz. And also it is free publicity.
Extortion would be, is if he'd threaten to make vulnerabilities public. The guy is small time and banks never invest in right caliber buisnesses. What bank protecting is its image. Realistically, he is incurring unexpected expenses and not via extortion. They can choose to not pay and keep running leaky telephone system. How often people don't change their oil in the car on time? or at all. Extortion is when consequences of not paying are immediate and far reaching. System is already insecure. The guy is in position of power and banks don't like to be bullied. But he did not threaten to hurt the banks. 2c.
laptops are way too fragile, i think with decent amount of flash ram a computer that i can bring around anywhere without worrying that i might drop it. screen and harddrive will always be the issue. Well if they can may magnetic connect display connectors like apple has for the powercord, will be feasable -> wear and tear of monitor connection. Something like some 1-2 ghz celeron-ish with passive 9600 card and 8 gigs of flashdrive ram.
Nerds wax on about misrepresentations of technology in the movies. Perhaps they're missing emotional representation of whatever movies try to present. Like in hackers joey looks into trash file. Film is made for non-geeks, to exemplify the excitiement in relation the specified topic like hacking. Which is why hackers is far better then takedown in terms of watchability. In fact per hackers, there were no computerized 3d effects were used as they would've brought coldness into the movie.(A the time 3d was expensive and immature) So point is, movies are for fun. If you want details, go get a documentary. Its is simlar to coding projects, you can have it fun, technically correct and on budget. Pick two.
I agree, general cases for very specific needs ofen don't amount to much usefulness. Performance tuned static serving apache with mod_rewrite. vs application apache with modules up to whonanny, like jakarta,php,perl,python, fastcgi ; request filtering. etc etc. How can you configure that with gui. You sort of can, but if you need threaded vs process bases forking model. Flexibility is a bit difficult, from the looks, but once you start doing it, it just gets there. And you have OPTIONS!
Gentoo is about a little less options, then most powerusers require. Possibilities are there though, you can always modifiy build install script for a package. 2c.
Gentoo provides a useful way for linux powerusers to configure their packages without lowering themselves to level of downloading and matching up source tar balls, and compiling them in the right order. Process of package building and installation is flexible and anyone with mediocre shell scripting ability can do great things with gentoo. Gentoo after all is very personal distro. Everything you have installed on your computer is going to be be fit exactly the way you like it to be.
Clearly they guy doesn't have the true grit to do gentoo. Gentoo is *NOT* rolling your own distro. Have you ever tried compiling mplayer with all these extensions and libraries? You do need to know your own stuff, but you don't need to get mired down in downloading your own packages and matching them up and compiling them in the right order with right compiler, and have the right kernel branch with proper patchset.
So the guy has it installing, and thinks it is not fast enough, going to try to reinstall it? How clever is that. Yes gentoo is overly flexible, downside being that sometimes you really have to know how things suppose to work. Like configuring Xorg. I was in similar position, but I'll never give up flexibility of gentoo for power desktop.
There is other article that does not make connection, i have read elsewhere. Connection that people buying portable mp3 players specifically dislike buying DRM-ed because they prefer music.

Apple will be far more evil if you'd see them to get to the size of Microsoft. They'd not only corner the software market but hardware as well. Not only you'll see Same operating screens everywhere, but same hardware. Sanctioned by apple. I don't like windows, one time it was ok to get things done. OS X is pretty good, for now.
Apple is guilty on number of ocassions of ripping off tech, the first one being that they have copied Xerox Palo alto. In more recent days, they have ripped off Desktop Manager. Who knows what else it will be.
Any business is like that. Maximum profit at least expense(whichever it may be). And the theme elaborates onto the field. It is possible to bully a company with affirmative action, like in canada(so far that I know probably other places) Nestle was bullied by protesters outside, something to do with mother's milk supplement. Whatever, government schools are great for making everyone same. It would be interesting to see how effective this one is. Company pays for good teachers, good equipment has dynamic cirriculum? Fine by me. As long as kids get good education. Most people are already are ingrained Microsoft drones, ones who look for the meaning in computing won't stick around windows platform anyway.
Simpletons need their simple lives and oversimplified technical solutions. Let them have it, and if good general education comes with it. Flag into the hands of Microsoft.
PS: I don't even run windows. A powerbook and some linux PCs.

I won't invest a dime into canadian real estate until this one is resloved. Sounds just like communist russia, that I have left for greener pastures.

I'd say to stay away from canadian real estate for now. at least for investment purposes. People who buying should be responsible. I mean come on, if someone sells iou from futureshop or best buy, do they have to honor it? Sounds pretty retarted to me.

As article said: "Palm Inc., which makes the popular Treo phones, puts directions deep within its Web site for what it calls a "zero out reset." It involves holding down three buttons simultaneously while pressing a fourth tiny button on the back of the phone.
But it's so awkward to do that even Palm says it may take two people. A Palm executive, Joe Fabris, said the company made the process deliberately clumsy because it doesn't want customers accidentally erasing their information."
