John Ashcroft, Attorney General for the United States, has been on tour recently promoting the Patriot II act or, as widely known, the magic anti-tiger talisman. You see, because there are no tigers within 100 km of us it must be working! Said General Ashcroft, "If this legislation had been in place, then Sept. 11 could have been prevented." Of course, if US foreign policy hadn't been in place for the past 50+ years, then Sept. 11 wouldn't have happened, but that's just specious long-haired, pinko-type, commie fag logic!
What the hell are you talking about? Who SHOULD we think of? Pol Pot? Itchy and Scratchy? Marilyn Monroe?
Let me guess... It is the lazy administrator's fault. Well, when the patch is not easily installed most "windows administrators" -- like my mom who settles down in front of her machine to do the puzzle page each day -- just don't do it. When you don't know that the patch is out there, then how the fuck can you install it? Most computer users do not sit and watch bugtraq all fucking day. I don't read m$ EULAs because I don't use their products, but I am sure they indemnify themselves against their own poorly thoughtout piece of shit software.
If you knew what you were talking about you'd know 1. that it wasn't an open relay and 2. that the attack was stopped and 3. when you are running a real SMTP server (not Exchange) you can hose out a million or so of these worm messages over a fat pipe in the time it takes to realize it is happening and when the fix is implemented.
Watch it, buddy. We'll park a carrier battle group off Wellington and bomb you to the Stone Age. The oppression of the Maori by your dictatorial, murderous regime forces us to bring democracy to New Zealand and remove the pall of violence, rape and torture that has settled over the Southern Ocean. A coalition of the willing, including residents of the Chatham Islands, is behind us on this one, so submit or perish. Also, the prospect of halving the price of wool and thereby boosting LLBean's profits makes it all worthwhile! Jenna Bush will be so happy!!!
Well, ok. But there is a growing trend to get some pedagogical training for PhDs. Just sit in a few 400-level engineering courses I know and watch kids suffer because the prof is such a bad teacher not because of a lack of knowledge, but because he/she can't convey the knowledge in a meaningful way. Still, I have found the more heavy-hitter a prof is the more likely they are to be an outstanding teacher, even if you have to mow his yard for grades....;-)
A PhD education is 100% research, 0% teaching. It's all about researching new technologies, new patterns, new methods.
Let's limit that to wherever you went to school with whatever funding you have for whatever degree you received. I am aspiring to a PhD in geography. You can get through without teaching with a research assistantship, but most people at least assist on an undergraduate course or two. Any PhD who hasn't taught at the undergraduate level is really limiting themselves and, sure as fuck, won't get tenure 'cause while research is a big part of the equation, you gotta teach to get promoted. There is no a fatter position to be in than 35 years old with tenure.;-)
Grow, eat, preserve and enjoy your own food. Buy stuff at a local food co-op if you can't have a garden. If you are worried about RFID on foodstuffs, give this a try. Knowing where your food really comes from changes your perspective on everyday life. Anyhoo, any company who wants to use such a nefarious technology is most likely the producer of food you don't want to eat for any number of reason.
Ummm. CSM is about as good as a balanced source as you will find and, despite the name, they don't do ridiculous things like you are talking about. My local rag will probably run this on the Religion section this week rather than the Science page. You should know better. Kind of like Brit "Goebbels" Hume, questioning the source of an eyewitness account of American soldiers abusing Iraqi citizens, by saying, "What do we know about this paper The Manchester Guardian?" rather than saying, "Secondary sources have yet to confirm or deny the report from the Guardian.
When telling my boss why it would be foolish to use Oracle for a web content database when MySQL is cheaper and faster (I know, I know), she wanted to know what the TCO is on it. Huh? I just said it was free other than labor. "Well I'll have to talk about TCO. My bosses don't believe that OSS is actually free." I wish they would just leave me alone and slip the checks under the door....
A big change in Longhorn will be the new Windows Future Storage (WinFS) file system, based on SQL Server database technology and designed to give users a direct route to data, making the physical location of a file irrelevant. WinFS replaces the NTFS and FAT32 file systems used in current Windows versions.
Next thing you know they'll use JCL.... Is anybody else disturbed by this? One of their shittiest technologies (SQL Server -- I think my Rolodex benchmarks better and a bank vault in Baghdad is more secure) as the basis for a filesystem. Hoo boy.

Not only are they doing whatever it is that they do at ORNL (it is black stuff I am sure), they are also writing pretty cool Remedy apps for us here.
Right. I live in Tennessee now. Have a radar detector. I forgot to put it away in Bristol. Bam. $118 on top of the speeding ticket and he took it as evidence. Said I could get it back after my trial if I showed up. They are illegal and confiscatable in VA. Don't fool yourself with the "never fully tested" line. Care to be the one to fully test it?

So much for the fun-loving, freedom-to-choose state. Remember for every Cole Valley, there's a Encino in CA....
Yes, the wetware version has been Donald Rumsfeld! It is a natural progression!

Well, I sure as fuck won't purchase it at USNews.com, cuz I sure as hell am not going to buy it from Slashdot!
With George "God, Guts, Guns and Glory" Bush in power, is it any wonder?

I am thinking Ants and a Magnifying Glass here.

Sometimes somebody actually posts something that deserves +5 funny.
I can hear you getting fatter from here.

.edu means we don't have to pay, right?
Ceteris Parabis?
And she is smart enough to know what "free other than labor" means. Her PHBs refuse to beleive that you don't have to pay for the software.
