Regarding your first point: What makes the DoD's network the most secure? Because they say it is? Please, that's even worse than security through obscurity.
New ways of acquiring priviledged data will come about. New ways of fighting those who wish to seriptishly (sp!) obtain such data will arrise. The fight will continue. Big deal. Such is life on the internet.
And your right, this shouldn't suprise anyone. At least, it shouldn't suprise anyone with a clue.
But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
(Oh, and for those that don't see a point, your right, I don't have one to make.)
Surely, you're joking. While marijuana is not nearly as bad a say, heroin, or crack, it is definitely not good for you. The massive "tar" content of your average joint makes it at least as bad a a pack of filtered cigarettes.
There's a problem with your argument here, you see, smoking *anything* is bad for you - smoke isn't good for the lungs. That doesn't make *marijuana* bad for you, just the smoking of it. Tetrahydrocanibinol doesn't hurt you in the least.
And smoking pot on a regular basis definitely decreases IQ and increases paranoia and depression.
Inconclusive, provide references.
Definitely, pot does not kill in the same sense as heroin and such, but no negative effects? Come on, get real.
Regarding the MAC address: That is a layer two protocol, not layer 3. That information isn't able to be transmitted across network segments. A router, access server (like a portmaster), bridge, or other similar devices will terminate that portion of the level 2 communication - it can't go any farther.
As for your other claim (I doubt there is any validity to your claims. ), I suspect that microsoft does in fact do such things. It would not suprise me in the least.
...is that satellite has a very high latency. Gamers don't like high ping times, and with satellite, you cannot avoid a high ping. It will take at least 300ms for your packets to travel from the CPE (customer premisis(sp!) equipment) to the your central location for connections to upstream / outgoing providers. This means that you kill the performance on an interactive game - a ping of more than about 125ms is about the upper limit of tolerability with interactive 3d shooters.
*sighs* It'd be nice if that weren't so. Oh well.:)
Welcome to the wonderful world of being unable to verify the authenticity of anything. You cannot prove that the inserted content is actually false, so how is it any different from/being/ the real content? It's not.:)
Go to isp-lists.isp-planet.com and take a look at the archives for the ISP-CLEC mailing list. Sign up. There was a discussion a few weeks ago about this very thing.
From what I've heard, it can be done for ~$10K-$20K.
Found something that seems to fit the bill, it's the Portable MP3/Audio CD Player by Genica, $99 bucks. It claims to be available in mid May. Looks promising (and looks like something I may buy)
ASP (not to mention IIS) for Linux is important. It's all very well to hold the volume hosting market, but we need to get into the small companies that keep a web server in the closet and don't have a full-time sysadmin. That's where NT is holding their 24% (or whatever) of the market, and the only way we can go after them there is to provide the same features with greater reliability.
Very true, although apache+php offers more or less the same solution as <insert webserver> + ASP.
At the end of the day, competing with Microsoft means providing Visual Basic, or something so much like it that the end user can't tell the difference. Productivity counts. They want to be able to knock together something professional in an afternoon without being overly technical, and ASP -- again, whether you like it or not -- lets them do that. If we can offer fully-functional ASP and IIS on Linux, we can start to clean up the last pockets of resistance.
PERL/Tk = Visual Basic PHP = ASP
Those are my thoughts on that matter. Configuring linux boxen *is* easy. It used to be not so, but really, it's just a matter of ./configure make make install nowadays. It's just not that hard anymore.
All that being said, I am in favor of ASP for linux because choice is a Good Thing.
There are a number of ways of dealing with newbies, some good, some bad, but they all leave an impression on the new user. That is important to remember, first impressions mean a lot. One of the less preferable ways is to simply tell the newbie to RTFM. A better way is to guide them to helpful information.
Here's what I do.
If I am the one that introduced the Newbie to linux, I show them how to find information, and how to use the system up to the point that they can find things on their own. Not that they nessessarily will have everything that they need, but hopefully with the information (meta-information?) to find what they need to know.
If someone else introduced them to linux, then I do what I can, and try to help. *smiles*
Playing the Tech-Support game is not enjoyable, but molding a new convert into a successful linux user is. *grins*
(Info: I actually did go see the movie, so this is based in at least the sembalance of fact)
I liked the movie. It was well done, and Carrey did a good job. The soundtrack was also excellant (REM always is.:^})
I found that Katz' review meandered towards his usual tact -- about half way through the ''movie review'' he goes off on this tirade about Americans and their view of freedom. (Or at least his idea of what they think of it. )
He attempts to get back on track with the review, but he never seems to. Instead he veers off into the related area of Kaufman's (and Carrey's as well) acting career.
When looking for a movie review, I want to see soemthing that reviews the movie, not the background of the actors. But that's my opinion, YMMV.:-)
Overall, I score this review a 7. Not horrible, but not great either.
In another words, which one came out first...the egg or the chicken. I do not know. do you?
Yes, I do. The egg. All mutations accure at the time of meiosis (sperm+egg come together time), and at no other time. So it would have to be the egg that came first, although barely distinguishable from any previous eggs, but different.

Linus rescue a colony of furry penguins.
Furry penguins? d00d, pengiuns have feathers. They're birds! :)

Definitely not as bad as alcohol.

Welcome to a brave new world. :P
Yes, but who would promote you either? Something to consider... Documentation is my friend.
These would certainly present a possible way of finding subterrainian life. Burrowing robotic snakes, nifty.
IMO, these are very reasonable deal for what they are, and for what purposes they can but put to.
From what I've heard, it can be done for ~$10K-$20K.
The best I've had is Killians Irish Red. It's pretty stout, and fsckin' good.
Good? It's fabulous! (And what I'm drinking right now!)

They do not trust in Linux
Shame on them. The End.

Sarah McLachlan is nice too....but that's more 'read slashdot' music... :-P
