I know what that policy is. it's the "fuck you, we're covering our tracks and blaming microsoft" policy. I'm sorry, that doesn't fly around here. Someone broke the law. The white house CIO seems like the prime suspect. the presidential records act was violated, for all those who say, "what law?". Lost in an upgrade is what I expect from bill's plumbing and computer fixin's. It's even what I expect from enron. It is not what I expect from the white house. It shows an unparalleled level of incompetence and hubris.
mail or fax a copy of the death certificate along with the police report to whomever he had an account with. Explain the situation and I'm sure they will release the account to his parents.
1st. she embezzled a load of money from namesys. 2nd. there is no evidence that she is dead. 3rd. the children are in russia with nina's mother. 4th. her father is the doctor. 5th. there is no evidence that she has not contacted her children. 6th. there is no evidence that she is not alive and well in russia. 7th. the children's testimony was extremely conflictive. no coaching eh? there is no evidence.
The prosecution has only proven they don't know where nina reiser is.
Let's face it. A programmer despite being german is not really the type to disappear someone. His behavior though incriminating to the untrained eye, is really what most of us would do in his situation.
even if he really did do it, c'mon the bitch stole from his company. she destroyed his life. who can blame him?
I was under the impression that all correspondence sent and received by the white house was public record unless classified and required to be archived as such. even classified correspondence is required to be archived. The white house staff knows this. The president even knows this. Anything else is a violation of the law.
what about those of us who have been customers so long, we signed up when it was unlimited. There was a time when it was fully advertised as unlimited.
This is about those corporations reneging on what they promised. It's about the small print contradicting the giant sign. I don't think it's right. I can't wait for a brave congresscritter to introduce legislation to fix it.
for starters, I've been a gamer since I was 5. I'm now 32. I happen to think I can fly a plane and drive a race car, plan and execute a hostage rescue operation, and stave off an alien attack. Sure I've played those kind of games and simulators.
Now we want this type of training for analysts? I'm torn. I know that computer-based training is effective. But intelligence analysts? Where's Jack Ryan when you need him?
There has been a sense of security about the eula. I happen to believe that burying a clause in the eula that completely contradicts the open advertisement should be actionable. It's a violation of good faith trust that I had unduly placed in the company. I also happen to believe that placing 'future-proof' clauses in eulas and other such contracts and agreements is unconstitutional. basically those clauses that state, "we have the right to change anything in the contract without notice at any time" is stating, we can do what we want and you can't do anything about it. I believe that is essentially agreeing to waive your rights. We know from our founding documents that certain rights are inalienable. The right to have a fair and stable contract is one of them.
I hate to shit in your cornflakes guy, but miserable flash support in Linux is really an adobe issue, not a Linux/Firefox issue.
and, saying it works just fine with windows/IE6 just shows your glaring ignorance about web platforms. Java is such a platform. Flash is almost such a platform. HTML, while hardly a platform does tend to work ubiquitously. And just to fart in your face, you have to "code your own fix" to get HTML and web languages to work in IE6. Works just fine because some highly trained web developer had to mangle his application to get it to "work just fine"
HD video on demand draws serious fucking bandwidth.
Buying games over steam draws serious fucking bandwidth. I'm downloading games from steam at least once or twice a month. That's 6Mbit for about 12 hours. Steam needs to amp up their bandwidth too. As more and more households start doing what I'm doing, the demand grows exponentially.
I already heard from an AT&T lineman that they will start offering 20Mbit and 100Mbit lines within the next couple of years. Of course, they are going to try and charge you two arms and a spleen for the 100Mbit lines. I think this is really pretty good for AT&T to start doing this now. Since, as bellsouth, they completely oversold their capacity years ago which is why they started offering DSL Lite, which is only 256Kbit.
My cable can burst up to 40Mbit easily, and has even seen 100Mbit during the great FL blackout, but this is still useless when content providers are delivering with less bandwidth. Akamai will have to start ramping up their capacity also.
if it's unsecured, that means either two things, the owner intended it to be used, or the owner is blatantly oblivious to security and the notion that you have to turn it on. if the oblivious owner had intended to deny access, he would have sought a way to do it. either way, open use is implied.
Seriously, no one is trading that sort of stuff on p2p.
This is very much a move by big media to demonize a technology.
it doesn't matter much since anyone that is trading that sort of stuff most definitely has encryption enabled rendering the whole billion dollar system entirely fucking useless.
so you expect 20 million people world-wide to say, "Well I'm going to use Linux anyway even though I can't play my games on it, I'll just play battle of wesnoth, it's not a big deal"
when activision, thq, sierra, valve, id, ubisoft, 2k, bethesda, codemasters, eidos, and EA start publishing for Linux, then it will be ready for the mainstream.
otherwise, no new age repackaging of a hippie ideal is going to make Linux ready for the mainstream.
only a mainstream push by a mainstream publisher like novell will make Linux ready for the mainstream.

I was just going to comment on this. Adobe is sticking it to silverlight.
bwahahahaha, now MS will never gain market share with it.
I thought slashdot got slashdotted!

"commentator" is no more a word than "orientate"
the word is commentor.
what kind of programmer can fuck up addition?
seriously, how can any programmer fuck up addition?
reiserfs was dropped as a default from all major distros when charges were brought against Hans Reiser.
1st. she embezzled a load of money from namesys.
2nd. there is no evidence that she is dead.
3rd. the children are in russia with nina's mother.
4th. her father is the doctor.
5th. there is no evidence that she has not contacted her children.
6th. there is no evidence that she is not alive and well in russia.
7th. the children's testimony was extremely conflictive. no coaching eh?
there is no evidence.

Well, Bob?
what do you think?
Metallica screwed their fans over and really poured salt in the wounds.
"If you want to download our music over the Internet, then we don't want you as our fans."
they can stick their guitars up their asses because that is how useful they are right now.

fully agreed. people are going to walk around with microscopic holes burned into their bodies and wonder why. This is the dumbest idea ever.
what's wrong with induction for wireless power?
here's a fact you got wrong: any programmer who needs automatic memory management is lazy and/or not skillful

we will make points about legitimate torrents. For a lot of open source developers, torrent is a viable and important distribution channel.
for people like you (bitter and cold), it will always be seen as the inverse mass of its parts.
if it's unsecured, that means either two things, the owner intended it to be used, or the owner is blatantly oblivious to security and the notion that you have to turn it on.
if the oblivious owner had intended to deny access, he would have sought a way to do it.
either way, open use is implied.
when will they learn.
a pseudo-random patrol route is the dumbest fucking idea ever. they should be hiring enough people to patrol everywhere at all times.
yep, Joe Biden, big fucking whore.

wow, dumb, just dumb.
