do not use paypal. they're not a "real" bank, they're accountable to nobody but themselves. They declare accounts as being potentially used in fraud with no evidence (this happened to me) and lock all the funds in the account unless I was willing to provide them a full, uncensored copy of a credit card statement, which no real bank would ever ask for.
They don't have a customer service phone number.
They don't have a customer service email address.
They don't have any customer service at all, except a web form which gets answered in about 3 days, with an unhelpful answer.
Use c2it or some other service where your money is FDIC insured, treated according to standard federal banking regulations, you can talk to people if you have a problem, and they don't randomly freeze accounts. Additionally, c2it doesn't seem to have any fees for most transactions, so you don't even have to pay the 1% paypal tax.
No, there's not a good chance of suid root files under directories that a normal user can't look in, unless your machine has been rooted.
as far as the intelligence of running a command you get via slashdot, i'd hope that any unix user would know how to parse that command, or if they didn't, that they'd read the man page first, so that they understood what it was doing, and why.
I'm sure a lot of people are going to complain that this is a useless article, and there's no point in advertising incremental progressions in developmental software. These people are missing the big picture. This patch fixes major issues such as:
An improperly sorted CREDITS file
a typo in dcache.c
removal of unused code in the nfs subsystem
consolidation of errno definitions
the spelling of a contributor's name
miscellaneous ia64 fixes
Thank you slashdot, for keeping me informed, and for understanding the importance of randomly updating the public on the status of developmental software version numbers!
ignorance does equality stupidity when one is posting a message which will be read thousands of times. if you do not understand a concept well enough to represent it correctly to those thousands of people, it's irresponsible to disemminate your incorrect information.
i don't deny for a second that i was rude calling him a fucking retard any more than i deny that it was also accurate.
moderating me down serves only to allow thousands of people to read his misinformation, and believe his lies.
There's actually lots of anti-virus software for *nix, though sometimes it's hard to purchase. Typically it's used to scan data that may be passed to non *nix machines, via http, ftp or email.
chroot does not do what you think it does. chroot allows an application to sandbox itself, limiting the potential exposure to the system should that application have a security issue.
additionally, if you're running as a regular user, then you don't have write permissions on system apps, and they can not get infected, even if they are SUID root.
Yeah, I like Symbian too, but what I like even more is a phone that's not completely ungainly. My current phone has lots of bells and whistles, looks pretty cool and fits easily in a pocket. I can't find dimensions on the communicator, but one of the two nokia cases has a shoulder strap, which is a pretty good clue that it's actually a fucking brick.
The real problem with automatic traffic law enforcement is that it doesn't save lives.
Speed limit cameras can't tell if your car is weaving, indicating that you're dangerously drunk and a risk to the public.
Stop light cameras increase the likelihood of people to slam on their brakes when they see a yellow light, thus resulting in chain-reaction rear-end accidents that would be safely avoided if the driver proceeded through the yellow.
I respect the police, I just want them to protect and serve. Putting a speed limit camera on a downhill portion of a wide highway that's marked with an unreasonably low speed limit, and has an extremely low accident rate does neither, it merely generates revenue.
Yes, you should definitely throw away anything PETA gives you. They're a terrorist organization plain and simple. Their leaders have been quoted stating that they believe that even arson is acceptable, if it helps animals.
In short, they're fucking retards who make me embarassed that I was ever a vegetarian.

To help her financially, I suggest giving her the glassware and precursors required to synthesize MDMA.
To help her socially, I suggest a bong, the barware neccessary for mixing drinks a bit better than most college kids do, and a decent stereo.
To help her medically, I suggest condoms and umm... more condoms.

next time you come up with a reason why O/C'ing is a better desktop performance enhancer than say, a RAID card and a striped mirror, please make it at least a wee bit plausible.
winning the fastest desktop in the world competition is like winning the 'most luxurious kia' award.
the funniest part is that most O/C'd systems have drive subsystems that are far from top-of-the-line, and overall system performance would be helped more by fixing that part of the system.
it requires a special kind of retard to buy one of these. a 2.2ghz Xeon is only $350, and there's somebody who thinks it's a good idea to spend $500 to chill it?
whoever it is who's buying these, can i sell you my new super-conducting speaker cables, and a liquid nitrogen supply contract?
What's next, will Ford no longer be forced to build cars for Kia? Will Mobil no longer be forced to acquire oil for BP? This is outrageous! Companies should be forced to help their competitors, like the way Microsoft is forced to support Linux!
It's clear that you've never worked in, around or near advertising. Yes, you can measure the effectiveness of an advertisement. Here's how it's done:
Air a new advertisement in some market
Wait a month
Compare sales figures
Yes, you see, companies keep track of how much they sell, and where they sell it. They also keep track of what ads were aired to what demographics. By combining these two, and doing some math, you'll find that there's a strong correlation between advertising, and sales.
Stick to talking about something you understand, like masturbation.
on most news sites isn't editorial content explicitly labeled as opinion or commentary?
This isn't a news site; it's a link/discussion site. If you haven't figured that out yet, well.... i guess not everybody can be the smart one in the family.
Yachts, mansions and villas all are excellent places to put money. Yachts tend to hold their value quite reasonably, thus making the majority of the associated expense for owning one be maintainance, slip fees and insurance.
"Mansions and villas" also tend to hold their market well, and if purchased carefully tend to be excellent investments. Thus the reason most wealthy people will only keep a particular vacation home for 10 or 15 years, because after that they sell it, take the income, and invest in a different location.
And lastly, the fact of the matter is, $250k of assets (the guideline used by the people who conducted this study) is not rich. I stand by my assertion that it's not even middle class.
slashdot isn't supposed to be rude, or xxx, but it's also not "Safe For Kids". People use expletives all the fucking time, and I personally wouldn't want to answer the question "Daddy, what's wrong with that mans butt?"
i can't say that i was surprised when i got the email saying that ELJ was going out of print. I never asked for, or paid for a subscription to ELJ. My job has never involved working with embedded linux. Yet for no apparent reason, they felt the need to send me a glossy magazine every month.
