The problem is that Schilling wants linux to behave exactly like Solaris' incomprehensable s,b,l format even though Linux has to support more devices and refuses to even read patches that make things easier for Linux users. It's at the point that if cdrecord accidentally supports something that doesn't look like the solaris way Schilling will add code to disable it.
Combine that with the fact that the DVD tools from Schilling are no longer open source and requires a License key The project has been forked.
If your having trouble with cdrecord I'd suggest using the alternate version instead.
For the record I'm not much of a gambler.. I think I've blown a grand total $45 CDN in my entire life on casino. I just don't see the point of banning it. Your getting exactly what they are advertising.. a system where the house allways wins
Paypal doesn't allow gambling transactions anyways.. your only real option these days is Neteller since it's Canadaian and the american's can't really do much to them.
As for not telling a credit transaction from something from your bank.. It comes down to personal responsability. I realise that's a dirty word in this day and age but there it is.. It's no more the casino's problem if the money was on credit as it is the shoe store's
And that's why gambling sites have such high chargeback rates. Personally it would bother me to gamble on my credit card.. gambling with money I don't have is not a good thing.
The other thing you might want to check is your router. I've seen some cheap routers fail specifically when dealing with the demands of voip traffic.
I've seen some expensive routers fail when too much load is put on them and ended up tracking the problem down to cooling. My first DSL modem was a 3com that needed a fan pointed at it to maintian a resaonable uptime. My current Cisco 824 works much better wall mounted sideways instead of being flat on the ground.
Also there are some other things to check for such as bad house wiring and cheap phone extention cords.
Sometimes people meet each other through school and then have underage sex... I don't hear any claims that school is a "danger to teens". It's time we stopped blaming technology for merely giving people opportunities to show their moral fibre.
I remember when the big problem used to be chatrooms and they had the exact same complaints as they do with myspace. And then it was instant messangers.
This all boils down to the internet being an even worse babysitter than the TV. Some friends of mine have their only computer only in the livingroom so they can monitor what their kids are doing onling. That is the only way to protect children. harping about the latest technology only fixes one possible symptom out of what is a larger problem of inattentive parents.
A few years ago the company I worked for was pretty much all PHP with a couple of projects in perl. I ended up taking over a project and redoing it in C. The downside of that was that when my boss saw that my C based app outdid the perl code it was supposed to replace and could be used to replace some of the PHP as well he started to want to standardize on it.
I've never been quite as nervous as when I was asked if I could redo the websites in C.
Thankfully we talked him out of it and he came to his senses.
You do realize that HURD is actually older than Linux? All of the userspace things were done and they were "almost done" the kernel when Linus beat them to it even though microkernels are supposed to be faster to develop.
They are still to this day "almost done".
Hurd's problem is not the License or development structure. It's a fundimental design problem with their kernel.
I would hire a private investigator and a lawyer. Also, I don't see how someone could kidnap my child if I was a good parent and actually parented the child at all times, as a parent should.
It's nice that you seem to have a lot of money to pay for these sorts of things but what about people who aren't so well off?
And while I'm at it.. what's with the blaming the victims here? Not all kidnappings can be prevented by the parents.
Only if your Canadian.. then the shipper calculates required taxes adds the "brokerage fee" almost (double the taxes) and charges both to the reciver.
It's why I no longer shop at places that only ship fedex or UPS.
Speaking of absurdity, WinXP Home doesn't have the concept of a non-administrative user. Staggeringly mind-numbingly idiotic. That's the market segment that needs that feature the most.
Not true. I have several clients setup as non admin on XP home. Half the time I don't even give them the password for it. What XP home doesn't have is an easy way to change file ownership.
I honesltly think that XP home's only reason for being is to piss people off enough to pay twice as much for pro.
Actually it can also be dietary. I have a friend whose medication just wasn't working. His doctor took him off his meds and started forcing him to eat a ballanced diet and strangely enough that worked better.
If were not feeding our body the right nutrients how do we expect it to work correctly?
Tell that to the loggers in British Columbia who had to deal with tree spiking during The Greenpeace' protests of the logging of old growth forests. Know what a spike does? If it gets a chainsaw it's thrown back risking serious harm to the poor guy running the thing. If it makes it into the lumber mill the spike can break the sawblades causing bullet like projectiles to fly through the mill.. There have been enough injuries that mills now use metal detectors on the logs and encase the workstations with bullet proof glass.
Well lets see:
They have already lobbied so they don't have to allow third party isps access to provide DSL. ISDN and dialup are too slow for anything reasonable. Satelite has too much latency to be usefull for anything other than bulk downloads. And Wireless tends to suck if too many people in the area are setting up their own hotspots.
Here in Montreal Canada I'm paying $45 for buisness class DSL that comes with unlimmited transfer, 8 ips, and no filtering. Why? Because we have proper government regulation.
The telcos still rake in boatloads of money so it's obviously not hurting them any.
Your mail still goes through your isp. If someone breaks into your isp they can simply read the mail spool files or add a redirect to keep a copy. They could also install something to sniff for outgoing emails.
I do know people who got burned when smaller isps get rooted.
Advising that you do it on purpose is the joke but the examples seem like things I've seen programmers do by accident. It's usually a sign of incompetance rather than an attempt at job security.
I'm proud to say that people don't complain about my code being unmaintainable even though my current project is a series of daemons written in C that direct network traffic for our backend comms system.(yes I'm being cryptic.. stupid NDA) Thanks to the fact that I nicely sort the hard parts into functions that everyone else users the less experianced programmers have no trouble adding on to my system.

Forbes isn't mainstream?
MYSQL's other advantage is that it's blindingly fast for the sort of simple tasks that people need for basic web based stuff.

The same way it is enforced now. They will put pressure on the banks and creditcard companies to refuse those transactions.

Shouldn't have to AFIK you can just trap the CPUID call and fake the reply.. it's been done before.

If we ever did go completely drive by wire a saftey can be added that engages the breaks if the system goes down.
You are rewriting history. By RMS' own account HURD is older than Linux by several years.

This just isn't true. Apple's OSX requires an admin password to install certain types of software so it is possible to be both secure and easy to use.
Only if your Canadian.. then the shipper calculates required taxes adds the "brokerage fee" almost (double the taxes) and charges both to the reciver. It's why I no longer shop at places that only ship fedex or UPS.
Who needs regulation? We can just do to them what we do to spammers.. blackhole their ip blocks.

Actually click the foot thing and then you click "Log Out". When the window popps up you click "Shut Down" then "OK".

Heres a nice story accusing PETA of funding terrorist groups like ELF
Just because most environmentalists are non violent hippy types doesn't mean they all are.

I didn't say you said that I said he said that.. your making the same mistake of thinking it's your machines and privacy they want.
Up here spammers and other people who want to download things they don't want to be busted for have taken up wardriving. It's a common problem.
