yeah, i'll give my guns up, when you pry them from my cold, dead hands. If the US decides guns are bad and tries to take them away from responsible citizens, then only the CRIMINALS will have the guns. Responsible citizens will have to defend themselves with pepper spray that does nothing to some people.

I have to agree. Even with how klutzy I am, I installed it just fine.
Speaking of cooks, ever bought in bulk and seen the barcode that looks like a huge long UPC tag? Some restauraunts use that for inventory. Go into the cooler, grab 3 heads of lettuce, scan the barcode on the box and tell it how much you used -
This would be cool for that, if they figure out a way to get the RFID on the head of lettuce.
3 count the number of security holes in the test systems, including:
- vulnerabilities to e-mail virii;
- vulnerabilities to malicious web-pages;
- remote exploits that grant root/administrator access;
- local exploits that grant root/administrator access;
- holes that allows an atacker to succesfully launch a DoS atack, freezing the machine;
- unauthorized read and/or write access to files;
- any other vulnerability you can think of;
EMail? No. THE USER MUST RUN IT. OOh, attatchment from someone I don't know, I'll run it!
Web pages? No. Ooh, www.haxx0rzrusss.com! Lets go there.
Other than those two, the rest sound fine. And use a default install. No changing any options, whatsoever. so if your Linux distribution has telnet, leave it, etc.
You have to give up some safety for freedom. Our country is built on the belief that EVERYONE, even criminals should have equal rights. While when we have probably cause that a criminal committed a crime, his rights can be limited, if we don't, he has full rights. But what if we didn't? What if someone in the gov't decided they didn't want to only check criminals? What if a company mis-stamped an item so that two products got the same serial numbers?
I've been robbed, too. I used the public information system to bust the guy, and it didn't take a huge criminal profiling system. It turned out to be some 30 year old white businessman, someone I wasn't expecting. And these terrorists will simply find out how the profiling system works and change their ways. Limiting MY privacy for someone else's safety (I live in the boonies) doesn't fit kosher with me.
I believe it was Ben Franklin that said "Those who give up essential liberty for a temorary safety deserve neither".
While you may be willing to give up some liberty for safety, some are not. The founding fathers of the US would not, and our Constitution will not allow it. No matter how hard the feds try, they can't change that aspect of the constitution without starting another civil war.
Trudat;P The only other web browser I would even CONSIDER is Opera. The rest are too kludgy
Yeah, nobody likes m$, but IE works and so does Win2k. Even when I DID use Netscape (2.31 era), it was slow and crash prone.
Okay, so I got a new OS. Install it, and no browser. That browser also contains the FTP and mail tools. How do YOU propose that I get a browser. Note that IE and Netscape are NOT sold in stores, and none of my friends have a cd burner.
Pot. Kettle. Black, in the worst way possible.
So, AOL/TW is a monopoly, so is M$. Only difference is, M$ has been proven to be a monopoly in court. But, AOL continues to use IE6 in AOL, instead of using Netscape. So, AOL supports the monopoly that it soughts to sue the hell out of! A bunch of hypocrites, I say!
to read some of the rants, you would think that many posters would blame someone for putting a poor lack on their door, and excuse the crimnal who stole everything from the place.
No, it's not like that, a better analogy would be to blame the hospital because someone was able to enter your room and turn off your breating apparatus in the first place. Sure, it's still wrong of the script kiddie to DoS someone, but the ISP should have measures to stop/punish the behavior.
20GB = 160Gb.
160Gb = 163840Mb.
163840Mb / 12Mb/sec = 13653 sec
13553 sec = 3.8 hours, or 3 hours 48 mins. Not too bad. Of course, it would have to be the ONLY thing on the USB bus. Firewire's overrated!
Yeah, in PA, there are NO limits on family work. NONE. In fact, parents could force me to work for zero pay (It happened with my dad before.. long story). In PA, you can get a State ID at any age, I think. But it DOES still present a problem. I can get on a plane with ID on my own.. but Dr. Jihad could just take his suicide bomber kid on to do the duty so long as Dr. Jihad himself was clean. Perhaps these IDs (and passports) should have no picture on the face, and a EEPROM on the inside containing an updatable (whenever you want) picture.
And you sure are right about the child soldiers, I've heard my share of stories about them.:-/
No, I've got a job. I'm actually a cook at a local restauraunt. But, I can't work for more than 15 hours a week, and no later than 7PM. We're citizens in the sense of the word, but we can't make our own decisions, and it seems the courts have decided that while we have rights, our parents can decide to waive them for us. Hell, I can't live on my own or enter into a contract. Citizen? Not entirely.
Nobody under 18 is a citizen. Do you see us voting? Do you see us working jobs? Hell, do you see us paying taxes (well, yes, but we get a 100% return)?
As far as the USA is concerned, i'm a citizen in the definition of the word, but not the legal definition.
of my country's government to try and slip something like this in under the radar.
Anyone read Turner Diaries? In it, they blew up the FBI building which housed the main database of a system like this. Of course, this would be a little harder (each state has their own system) to take out.
Besides, the terrorists will just get an overseas ID.

Yeah, and WHY do we? For the same reason that Peek-A-Booty exists.

If I had mod points, I'd mod you down as a troll. 9 years behind Apple eh? Take away MS Office and Apple would be dead.

I already have ENOUGH trouble dialing my phone.
Voice recognition... okay... "Phone, dial 201-555-1212!"... and every phone on the bus starts ringing.
Look at NASA's PDF. It looks as if the ESA agreed to NASA's guidelines.
From the looks of the guidelines, it's not just NASA, it's the ESA and Russia (RASA?), too.
I can blind your mother with your mackarel, Mister forty two.
Why would they bother? 512x384 isn't that high of a resolution.

Every time we see a story like this someone has to say "Ooh, ooh! A MAC doesn't NEED fans!"
Do we care? It's a PC case. If you like Apple so much, you shouldn't be reading a story for a PC case!
Phillips 50%? They are the ones saying that record companies can't call their CDs CDs because they own the trademark on it.
Well, I'm pretty sure it's wrong, but wouldn't that be the belief that one is an optimist?
