I've forgotten the name of the company now, but there was a presentation at the Linux conference last year (two years ago, maybe?) in New Orleans that talked about this very topic, and they (or someone else that approached me afterward because I asked a question about it) said that their company was making switching hardware that did stuff in kernel-space, maybe with a proprietary module. This is key here... you can stuff a bunch of NICs in a box and use brtables or whatever and make a switch, but that's going to be dog-slow. ASICs are needed, and at least that one Linux company is making them.
I would contact my local police force and talk to the financial crimes desk. They may not be able to do anything at this point, but you should establish a paper trail ASAP, which would certainly work in your favor while explaining things to your bank or whatever if the bad guys do manage to hurt you in some manner.
Is NASA so angry at not being able to visit for 30+ years that they're lashing out at their mistress now? Or is this just a game of interplanetary darts? NASA's so rusty at this game, the Chinese ought to watch out that their manned expedition isn't hit by mistake.
Bah... NASA bores me. I'm looking forward to commercial lunar colonization, hopefully in the next decade.
And why are we bothering to listen to anything 60 Minutes has to say? Remember Rathergate? These guys are about the last source for information that I'd ever turn to.
The pieces are JUST starting to come together re: replacing MS Exchange...
Right... I'm trying to do the same thing with Kolab for my clients.
I do think that this move could ruin everything for us (the good guys). With one software suite on the desktop, you can replace IE and Lookout, making the desktop safer and eliminating the need for Exchange. I will be quite saddened if the Thunderbird team messes up what they've worked toward for so long on our behalf. Branding, trust, corporate acceptance... all of this can go away in an instant.
Hey, I'm still not happy with the discontinuation of the Mozilla suite. Sure, Seamonkey is a drop-in replacement, but not without cost (see above).
In my opinion, they need to get their internal problems worked out instead of implementing some kind of organizational fork. One of the options was to form a completely separate company, which implies that new developers and other resources would have to be found. What's wrong with keeping the org chart basically the way it is, along with procuring these extra resources, which would hopefully alleviate the issues at hand? Deal with the actual problem instead of potentially ruining everything with a fork.
It's been at least a year that Google maps put "sanitized" versions of New Orleans, Waveland, etc. up on their site. I know the post-Katrina images are pretty depressing, but I'm much rather have valid data, since I live in Chocolate Town and rely on on-line maps.
I think their big worry is web-based office applications, such as Google's. Maiming AJAX (undoubtedly their aim here) is the logical thing for them to do, IMHO.
I've run into third-world stealware before. A friend of a friend recently managed to get one of her kids out of a muslim country, green card and all. One of the guy's teenage sons found a PC in the house running WinME and decided to upgrade it to Win2k with a CD he brought from home. The end result was spyware city, plus nothing worked right (probably due to drivers being misloaded or something). I reformatted the box afterward and promptly destroyed the kid's CD collection, before he mucked up anything else.
There is simply no way this can be good for PHP. Microsoft will in some way co-op, patent or otherwise do harm to the project before it's all over with.
In other news, I'm so terribly glad I migrated to Perl recently:-)
There is no way I'd buy one of these... the screen's about half the size of the 770, the whole thing is laid out like a game console, and it's made by Sony. Three strikes in my book... I'm keeping rebekah (my 770), thanks.
Oh, and RTFA says that it's got about a third the functionality of a 770, to boot. Ugh.
I'm pretty sure they are the licking kind... if you lick too much, you get a lethal dose, etc.
But this story reminds me of the old joke about the man wanting to get rid of mice, so he got a cat, then had to get a dog, and later an elephant, and eventually he decided to get more mice and learn to live with them. Australia sticks in my mind as having a particularly bad run of vermin eradication misfires throughout its history.
But do we need yet more government regulation? Aren't the sponsors of this bill saying that Google can't fend off this attack from Verizon/Bell/whoever, so Daddy Government has to step in and stop those mean ISPs from hurting poor Google? What tripe.
Based on the content of your post, I would say that you subscribe to a fairly figurative interpretation of the Bible, not a literal one.
I've never been accused of that before:-)
I consider myself a fundamentalist, but probably not in the sense that most people use the term. I do not check my brain at the door of the church. I believe that the bible should be taken literally, except where it's obvious that a literal interpretation is out of place.
Take for instance Psalms 91.4: He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Does this verse mean that God looks like a chicken? The intelligent way to parse this verse is to compare God to a mother hen that protects her young by sheltering them under her wings. Certainly this idea of parenting fits into the general context of the bible, whereas concluding that God has literal feathers is ridiculous.
As a christian minister that believes in the end times and a literal interpretation of the bible, I can say that your answer is right on the mark (no pun intended).
There is nothing evil with RFID as far as it being a technological tool. After all, guns kill people only when people use the gun tool with an evil intent --- the gun, after being discharged in the direction of another human being, is still just a tool. Likewise, I think that whatever technology the Antichrist bundles with the mark is innocuous in itself. Isn't RFID just a convenient means of tracking objects? God helped Joseph in Eqypt keep track of grain during the famine event, Moses kept count of the gold and other materials donated to build the tabernacle, and Jesus knew exactly how many people he fed with that fish and bread. The bible is full of examples of things being counted and tracked, and if computers (high-speed abacuses, nothing more) had existed back then, God's leaders would have made use of them where practical.
The mark of the beast isn't about RFID specifically, but about the subjugation of men and rebellion against God. The mark is religious in nature, not technological, even though technology might be used to facilitate its use. If I thought for a minute that computers and electronics were evil, I would quit my profession immediately and be come a Luddite.
The problem I've always had (and I've been "shopping" there since 1975 or so) is that you can't ever find what you're looking for. Examples:
They used to sell electronic "starter" kits with maybe an IC or two, with example schematics. I bought several of those back in the 70s until I wised up. No matter which kit or project I chose to build, I could not purchase all of the needed parts (resistors, capacitors, etc.) required to finish the projects.
Here's a classic... walk into Radio Trash looking for cable connectors to go from one jack to another, say from a TV into a stereo amp. Search through the parts bins for 20 minutes, leaving with a chain of adapters 10 inches long, when all you need it one adapter going from plug A to jack B.
Even better... leave the store after 20 minutes of not being able to piece together any combination of adapters to connect the above gear.
To me, it's never been worth it to shop at Radio Trash. They don't have what I want, but every clerk in the store will act like he's an engineer called by God to help ignorant slobs like you. There's nothing I hate more than being insulted by some moron salesman who thinks he knows more than me. Condescending bastards.
If you ask me, I hope someone else steps into the void to provide consumer gear and parts. Any company with a clue doing so would immediately get my word-of-mouth recommendation.

I haven't tried this, but jack is a networked sound protocol... it should be possible to export that to your end of a remote session.
One of my best friends is a financial crimes detective in my city, and yes, he seems to know his stuff.
I would contact my local police force and talk to the financial crimes desk. They may not be able to do anything at this point, but you should establish a paper trail ASAP, which would certainly work in your favor while explaining things to your bank or whatever if the bad guys do manage to hurt you in some manner.
If? You're kidding, right?
You wouldn't want to share your filter rules, by any chance? Simply linking to procmail's website isn't exactly helpful.
Thanks.
Is NASA so angry at not being able to visit for 30+ years that they're lashing out at their mistress now? Or is this just a game of interplanetary darts? NASA's so rusty at this game, the Chinese ought to watch out that their manned expedition isn't hit by mistake.

And here I was thinking that no one believed in sacrifice anymore. Thanks, you made my day
Want a faster network? Run your own DNS and webcache, your users will notice the difference. Throw in SMTP and anyhing else you can pull off, too.

Failing that, what's a decent alternative to Paypal?

Or learn basic HTML markup. There's a list of allowed tags just under the comment textbox.
