Kerry seemed to want to project how much he was like Clinton... he kept doing the thumb thing... you know.. the thumb thing, it's like thumbs up, but it's not up.:)
It's great. If you run Red Hat though, they removed it from EL3, because such a useful server monitoring program has no place in the enterprise. (I.E. They are fucking retarded).
Wouldn't you rather know if it's possible to do those thing on your own network, rather than keeping the tools only in the hands of those with nefarious intent?
I'd argue that anything that doesn't give us zero error is a systemic problem. We've known how to design machines and systems to prevent people from spoiling ballots for at least 50 years.
There is nothing preventing us from getting zero error except fraud and incompetance.
I've heard that line of reasoning before, but I don't think it's globally applicable. Tech news is hard for the mainstream media. Complicating things, editors have no clue who to hire as a tech reporter it seems.
I'm just saying I wouldn't extend their reporting of tech/nerd news to everything.
Of course I know that, I'm talking about everday users.
For example, the other day someone was having problems with Acrobat... so I asked them if they tried restarting Acrobat and they said yes. Turns out they didn't know the OS ignores you and doesn't close it when you tell it to, so I walked over there and shut acrobat down and restarted it, and everything worked.
It's NOT intuitive, most users don't even realize it's happening.
That's the problem with fucking Macintoshes, they try as hard as they can to keep their users ignorant.
A lot of the versions of rm won't remove . and.. anymore. It's just too dangerous.
I rm.* all the time in linux. Of course that is dangerous for when I go onto obselete systems like IRIX or BSD.

You make it sound like technology never grows without space flight. It may have been true years ago when space programs were part of the cold war, but it's not true anymore.
For the last 20 years or so, technologies developed outside of the government space programs have benefited them, rather than the other way around.
Lets put it this way, name 5 things the space program has pushed forward with development on in the last 10 years. Things useful to everyone.
Ahh, a comment with good insight. I never thought of it this way, but I'll definitely consider doing this in the future.
I was always stymied about not being able to partition a md software RAID, I didn't think about it from your angle, that it's not what you'd want anyway!
Does anyone have any caveats with the new linux kernel driver for the 3w-9500 series?
We are about to go live with a new series card, and so far it looks a lot nicer, it has a buzzer when drives go bad, instead of relying on 3DM to warn you, and a 12 disk 2.8TB RAID 5 array built in about 5 hours.
I guess we are also going to get to test the LBD stuff for >2TB filesystems. Fun fun.:)
I just posted in another thread about 3ware and mysterious drops of seemingly good drives. Even with the ultra-paranoid drive dropping, we have never lost data on 3ware.
Other than that, 3ware has been decent for us. We are about to put into service a new 9500 series 12 port SATA card.
I wish I could say our ACNC SATA to SCSI RAIDs have been as reliable. We have three ACNC units, two of them went weird after we did a firmware upgrade that tech support told us to do, lost the array.
We call tech support and they say "oh we didn't remember to tell you when you upgrade from the version you are on, you will lose your arrays".
Have you tried the 9500 series? It looks much nicer than their older offerings.
We've run several 7810s, 7850s in the past, totalling quite a few terabytes. All in all it's not too awfully bad, but the cards do seem to have trouble with dropping drives that don't seem to have any real problems (they recertify with the manufacturer's utility often with no errors).
If you go 3ware though, get the hot swap drive cages from 3ware. They are expensive, but it makes it much nicer.
Actually, the supreme court of the US in 2002 ruled that simulated underage porn isn't illegal, and is, in fact protected speech, striking down the law you refer to.
So, mere depictions that don't actually involve the underage aren't illegal in the US, no matter what any law says.
"The law [that was struck down by the Supreme Court] barred sexually explicit material that "appear(s) to be a minor" or that is advertised in a way that "conveys the impression" that a minor was involved in its creation."
The Supreme Court did say that if it really did involve someone under 18, even in an indirect sense such as my photoshop example, then it was not protected speech.
Actually, you can have the parts you need to make illegal child porn, without actually possessing it.
All you need is a picture of a kid, and a regular porno picture. Photoshop the kid's head onto the pic and instant child porn, just as illegal as the real stuff.
That's the insanity caused by this hysteria in the name of "protecting the children".
I have gotten so pissed at my (not cheap) belkin KVM that I threw it across the room and then stomped it several times, ala Office Space.
In general, KVMs suck balls. The manual ones are almost as reliable as the electronic ones. Half the time, depending on your keyboard and motherboard, it will cause your whole computer to lock up, loss of mouse control until you unplug and replug the mouse, etc.
The KVMs we got for our artists to switch between their new G5s and their old G4s... they wouldn't work at all with the G5 keyboard. We ordered them new MacAlly keyboards, but some of the special buttons didn't work, so they are back to having two keyboards, directly connected to each computer.
It's really outright fraud that Belkin can represent their products as a general purpose device. They should make a list of compatible hardware.. I'm sure it would be a very small one.
Of course this is with direct KVMs. I have used the CAT5 based KVM deal from Cyberguys with great success. That device allows you to have a local keyboard, monitor and mouse, and a remote one, and both can be used at the same time, with the remote one up to a few hundred feet away. It isn't cheap though.
This isn't like those crimes you listed. The ones you listed are not going to cause anyone to directly lose money, they are mostly victimless.
It's more like someone running a garbage company and dumping garbage illegally on your property. Except they just dump one bag of garbage on every lot in town. If a company did that, they would be in jail in a second for trespass and illegal dumping.
taking one second of time from a few million people's lives worth sending someone to prison for 20% of *their* life?
There should be some punishment though. Some serious punishment. Maybe not years in prison, but definitly some prison.
1 second from millions of people is 30+ man days. If you stole a month's pay from your company, you'd be in trouble, so how is it much different, just because the theif spread it out?

simple, inexpensive, illegal.

there is still an acceptable statistical error in the results
Why? The vote isn't a sampling. There's no reason to have any error. Zero errors is an achievable goal.
I I I I I I I I D D D D D D D D
Is there an acceptable statistical error in the number of I's compared to the number of D's in that line? Or can you say there are 8 D's and 8 I's?

Things making sense?
Like hiding applications so that you are never sure if they are running or not? That doesn't make sense, it's fucking stupid.

This is an incredibly bad idea. Most home insurance companies will cancel your policy if you make a couple small claims.
You better save the home insurance for something like your house falling down.
