You know, the speed at which some of the AV software makers come out with "fixes" for these viruses before they make any headway still makes me think one of them (Symantec? McAfee?) hired the guy to do it so they can stay in business.
Yeah, yeah, I know, Conspiricy Theory, But man does it ever smell bad.
both Libranet and Xandros have had ATI Radeon drivers for a while. ELX May also have had ATI Radeon drivers but I'm not 100% sure on that. So to say that Mandrake is the only Linux distro to ship with them is hogwash!
I don't know where this dude has been, but several other (debian based) distros have been including Radeon Drivers for a while. Libranet & Xandros Linux.
I think the solution here is to respond with the same kind, but more forceful DDoS attack on the systems that are trying to shut the anti-spam sites down. I should think we as good network admins, code hackers, et al can do a much better job that these spammers that are obviouslly loosing the battle since they are resorting to this kind of tactic. Find the IPs of the sites, and flame back!
I'd think the concept is less like Gattica and more like Minority Report. Walk into a store and immeditiately be targeted based on what you bought last time and have them know your name and so forth. What's worse, imagine not being able to buy or sell anything without one of these tags (ala Tribulation period spoken of in Scripture). I'm not saying that's how it will work, but the proof of concept is definately there.
yes I have and it's still no go. Lots of room for improvement. Fonts aren't correct, pagination goes out the window, many things need work. AbiWord has improved a lot though, it's becoming a contender for sure.
unfortunately for me, AbiWord doesn't come close to OpenOffice Write. OO does a better job of converting MS documents. AbiWord, in all my tests, is pathetic at it.
for OpenOffice, any MS Word doc with graphics is hosed and forget about Word Art.
Quite frankly, both have a lot of work ahead of them IMHO.
Really this has nothing to do with realy privacy. It's to protect spammers from having their names and addresses exposed so they don't get inundated with mail spam. That it. No more. No less.
Give me a break! NO, a Biblical year is NOT 28 days. It may not be our 365, but it's not 28. 28 days may be 1 month, and there were 12 months 28x12 = 336 days.
The issue of earth's over population is a myth. It was proven not too long ago that the entire population of the earth could fit into the state of Texas, providing each individual with 2000 sq. ft. of space. We are not over crowded.
That said, people like to live close to major cities, and so forth, so yes some cities are over crowded, but if we just allow ourselves to expand out, we'd have lots of room and to spare.
Personally, I don't believe we'll ever achieve this kind of longevity. The environment changed after the flood of Genesis. The pre-flood world allowed us to live for almost a millenia (Enoch was 969 yrs old, Noah 965 yrs old or so). Sorry, but it won't happen.
Great news that they released GPL'd source for the wireless router, but now what about the real need, code/drivers for their wireless cards like the WPC54G? I searched/. for info on it and found an old Ask Slashdot thread, but nothing has improved yet. I wnat drivers for the wireless card dang it!
The one thing I really dislike about the idea of T3 is the complete disregard for the basic premise set up in T2 (or even T1 for that matter). In T2 we see the Terminator and the T-1000 completely melt away. All research work into the project from recovered parts of the original terminator, have been destroyed, so there should be no skynet, no rise of the machines. If sky-net had this kind of advanced Terminator (T-X), why didn't it send that one back for T1 and it probably would have succeeded. There are almost 2 timelines to worry about here and they seem to be going in parallel.
The same sort of thing happened with the Highlander series. The 2 sequels completely disregarded the premise and plot/story lines set forth in the original (which was awesome). Very disappointed.
Computer, where is Captain Picard...

RFID Explained
·
· Score: 1
Some of what is described (RFID inplanted into a badge for example) comes right from Star Trek. Their comm badges are essentially also RFID tags keyed to a particular individual. In some ways the technology is interesting and helpful. In other ways, as mentioned in the article, it's downright creepy.
I'll probably get flamed silly for my view and modded down to oblivion, but I don't care.
I'm sorry but I agree with this. If a parent puts a filter on their computer system to keep a child from seeing pr0n0 sites (which is their right I might add) that child should not be able to go to the library to get their fix of sexual content which the parents have already deamed not suitable for their child. The Government SHOULD NEVER overrule the rights of the parent in this case. And this is EXACTLY why it's an issue. If the parents decide that their child(ren) can look at whatever they want on the net, the child wouldn't go to the Library, they'd just look at what they want at home. If something "bad" comes up in a child's research of a topic (oh, breast cancer for example) the parent has said it's ok for the child to look at that content and that the child should use his/her own discression.
The real issue here is the Government overrulling the parents, that's why it's come to this and I don't belive the Government has that right.

What's this say for products like the BioMag underlay and pillow that millions of people in Australia and New Zealand use?
But wat iv I hab a cod? then I can't smell dat spam a mile away anymore. (NOTE for you humor challenged, the misspelling is intentional!)

Beware of Quantum Ducks...Quark! Quark! :-)
Wow! talk about the ultimate conspiracy theory! Mind you, I think this one has some teeth to it! It wouldn't surprise me at least.

Yes that is correct, my bad. I had the wrong person. Enoch didn't die at all, God took him.
oh ye of little (no) faith. It can indeed be read as a science text book. Science has proven the Bible, not disproven it.

Not no more they aint
On the other hand, what are all those losers whose only skill is having a big mouth and being able to follow a script going to do for a living now?
Sounds like a phone sex line to me. Or maybe a pr0n star.
the movie industry has starving artists? Where are these people, the north pole? like give me a break.
I just built a dual Athlon MP 2400+ system. Too bad these CPU's don't have a barton core ;-( *sigh* Oh well. It's still fast and I love it ;-)
