They didn't leave the bodies to rot in downtown Nola True. It would be interesting to see if they find any skeletal remains or not. That would say a lot about the origins of the people in Nola, if we suppose burial customs are indicative of origin.
They will probably find oblong shallow graves, like the ones you can see, cheek to jowl, with the circular ash burials in the Forum in Rome. Then again, that's a maybe.
Mod this M$ shill down. How's your stock options, bro? Just fine, I am sure. Don't you see the irony of an employee of the bane of IT security getting a White House level position for IT security issues? I bet the WH shifts from Lotus Notes (which is very secure) to Exchange (which is a festering security nightmare) within six months.
I work with an ex-mil/NSA security "guru" who finds out about the latest worm/virus by clicking on attachments. He considers us all fools for using Mutt to read our mail.
One odd thing, though, unlike Pompeii, they haven't found bodies in Nola
Remember at Pompeii there were no bodies found only cavities in the ash which archaeologists filled with plaster. Three things can be supposed by not finding bodies.
They had time to get away.
They were incinerated
Any dead left were cremated indicating that the dwellers were Indo-Europeans and not aboriginal Italians who usually buried their dead.
They found bodies at Herculaeneum, which is one of the few finds of Roman remains because Romans followed the funerial practices of their nomadic forebears -- cremation. At least, the patricians did so.
Hot Damn! That degree in Classical Studies pays off finally. I am waiting for my check.
Guilt by association. Most likely you are not spending hours upon hours patching that shitty OS, its shitty Web Server and then watch another HUGE hole that 'script kiddies' can easily exploit crop up the next day requiring you to spend more spend more hours upon hours. I can give you examples of OSes that do not have this problem. Here's one.
I think the very point is that the continued American military presence has done nothing but steel the resolve of some these guys. There would not have been a war there at all if failed US foreign policy had focused on something other than oil (The Gulf Excuse). Yes, you can get stopped by the odd group "checking papers."
You can not WORK, if there are no jobs. Oh, wait. You just have to show good old American iniative. Problem is: you are not in America. The rest of the world is not America and, guess what, they don't want to be Americans.
I have been all over the Balkans as part of my research and I was there in 89-91 when shit was really freaky (Slovenia). You know those land mines? Did you check to see where they were manufactured or where the design came from? You can not be a social scientist nor a humanitarian with a gun in your hand.
You think this guy is a clever troll, but it he is not.
Men are good.
Socrates is a man.
Therefore, Socrates is good.
This kind of logic has stood up for 2400 years
We hired an old NSA guy to be the security guy at my University. Things have become demonstrably worse in the past six months. Why? He is a Microsoft weenie. Who ever heard of a security maven who repeatedly gets infected by 3-year-old viruses in his mail because he insists on running Outlook -- unpatched.
As far as I know there were roughly three parties involved: Serbs, Croats and Muslims (Croats with another religion really).
Same ethnicity, different religions all around.
Serbs: Serbian Orthodox
Croats: Roman Catholic
Muslims: well, Islam
They all speak similar languages, although Serb and Croat are increasingly distinct from each other. This Muslims speak a dialect of Serbo-Croatian but all of the tongues are mutually intelligible.
Katz is dead wrong is saying the Bosnian army; it was the Serbs who were getting Smart Bombed, but they could have been Bosnian Serbs: Serbs who still live in BiH after the Dayton Accord. These Serbs would not have SAMs and tanks though -- more of a militia (small arms and bad attitudes).
You can still get stopped at 'checkpoints' around Banja Luka by these cats -- very unnerving.
Why is it so unbelievable that a large corporation would try to profit off of war? Funny how we USAians forget lessons....
Occam's Razor: Since sorting by need is inefficient, one should sort by interest.
But isn't this dangerous as interest can be influenced by coercion. Hence, more interest can be found in particulars who are the focus of powerful agents. These agents are able to influence other less powerful agents' interest toward certain particulars to the deteriment of other particulars who have no powerful agents in their corner.
Just muttering... But I will say that PD's post is the best I've seen in a while. Do I get good karma for that?
Bash is a pkg to be added later on FreeBSD. You start with/bin/sh and csh. For religious reasons, I make the first order of the day after building a FreeBSD box:
# pkg_add -r bash
It currently installs bash2.05. I have users who are Linux people that wanted bash. I use it meself now.
From the sh man page:
The current version of sh is in the process of being changed to conform with the IEEE AStd 1003.2 ("Posix.2") specification for the shell.
No mention of ash anywhere in the man page, but it is obviously not a pure sh.
You miss the point. I have X amount of time to do the work. I set asside time to investigate OSes. Mandrake smoked pole, so I tried FreeBSD. Voila! In one hour the fileserver was in production. Theinstaller was an afterthought. Like, "Y'know that was the easiest OS install I have ever done." You are right. If I had to have JDK on the machine. I probably would have used Linux or Solaris. But then again, perl runs just fine on FreeBSD.
If you read the comment you would have noticed that the servers which the FreeBSD boxes replaced were running Mandrake. I have nothing against Mandrake other than the bloat it inflicts. I would rather build a machine up than tear one down. See the difference?
We just switched our email, file and http/servers to FreeBSD. Why? Mandrake had become a horrid mess of dependencies and package problems. Building from source (painstaking and too labor intensive for a one person admin team) had become frustrating. The machines were inherited and had never had any documentation and administrative control. I got three machines to replace them (white boxen) and started fishing for what OS to put on them. Initially, I thought, well, Mandrake8.1. I did a test install. Gigs and Gigs and Gigs of useless crap and a horrible package management system to boot. Selecting packages individually took time I didn't have. I knew I needed samba, sendmail, ftp and apache (sshd too). An admin in another department suggested Debian. But (let me put my flamesuit on), another guy said "if you are going to use Debian, why not just install FreeBSD." I did a test install. 1 hour later, I had samba cooking and talking to our Win2K DC. I was sold. This after using Linux for 6 years. I wouldn't say "I saw the light" but as far as clean and Unixy goes, it doesn't get any more so than FreeBSD. I am interested in hearing horror stories about FreeBSD, cuz so far I am very impressed.
Fix it. Didn't know root passwd. Cracked it. No idea where the manuals were. Learned to use man. Discovered BSD and switched to that. Discovered Linux. Switched to that. Learned to program because no one was developing apps that did what we needed. Undergrad: Philosophy and Classical History. Grad: Cultural Geography.
Remond, Oregon (AP) -- Microsoft chairman Bill Gates announced a bold new foray into intellectual property ownership today. On the heels of the much anticipated XP rollout, Gates blueprinted plans for Microsoft's plans on patenting all forms of linguistic communication as a part of its ongoing.NET initiative.
"Microsoft will be the leader in innovation in simple verbal communication and we felt it necessary to start at the top with English," Gates said.
Answering complaints that the actions are against all logic, Gates replied "Anyone who feels that this is wrong is un-American and anti-competitive."
Use a package manager that follows dependencies. Of course that will require someone to package it and post it. Nevermind, it will be 10 months before it makes the debian tree. Then again they probably consider it non-free for some religious reason.
Long live pkg_add -r! Back to sleep......
While the industry can and should deliver more secure products, it's unrealistic to expect that we will ever achieve perfection.
I want usability, not perfection. I want software that does what it supposed to do at a fair cost and with as little hassle as possible relative to the work that the software is supposed to be able to do. With that in mind, what can be said of, say, IIS? It fails this test. Because it is such as security nightmare, it is unusable. Apache is free, secure as it gets and does more, better than IIS. Plain and simple: if Microsoft delivered a product (speaking of webservers here) that performed as well as Apache, I would use it, and then I would only use it if it were free as in beer and speech.

1. FreeBSD -- sysinstall is as easy as Linuxconf and, maybe, more straightforward. No marketing lingo tossed into the salad like Linux.
2. All of them are good, but FreeBSD has the Handbook. Nothing wrong with man pages, IMHO.
3. FreeBSD again, although this may be possible with the others.
4. FreeBSD. I have it running on a Toshiba Tecra 730CDT. Yoiks! The others run on far more different hardware than FreeBSD.
Be sure to go to Sam and Andy's for a Vol burger after you pick up some lawn ornaments at the Big Lots, Tim.

X10. Shouldn't you be grepping through some logs looking for unauthorized activity and pointing out to your boss? What a twink.
Give var'ag a spin. Talk about obfuscation. Very much like perl actually. I have a friend who has written some CGI stuff in this for confusion's sake.
