Just wait until you can't access 80% of the Internet without a passport account. The next few years should prove to be very interesting.
boy oh boy, i really can't wait for something like that! imagine, it will be a time when free thinkers like myself will be forced into the internet underground. we will finally have a separation between the MS morons and the computer elite.
a new cyberage will dawn....
the underground will be strong, the rest will be weak.. wow, just like real life!
what's up with the redhat gdm image? it's not that it looks bad, but it appears that the gnome config tool for gdm will not let you override the redhat image that appears on a gdm's login screen.
i've scanned every.xpm.jpg (so i can grep out the pic filename from whatever file is putting it in there), but i'm unable to find the image.
anyone else (bero?) know how to put a custom image on the gdm login screen?
really? i am unable to find a product code on their web site. i just got off the phone with someone from compusa corporate, and they say that the latest redhat release in stores is 7.1.
i'm already working on incorporating ALICE into my car mp3 player. you see, ALICE doesn't have to know everything, but she can make simple conversation. just plug ALICE into any device, like my car mp3 player, and give her instructions on specific commands that plays songs, rewinds, etc. that way, when i get in my car, she can make simple conversation as well as control all of my music.
the tough part is speech recognition while enduring background car noise....
These people (the RIAA) really think that they are above the law
duh! they have tons of money! they are above the law!
you don't remember the OJ Simpson trial?

MySQL 4.0 Released
·
· Score: 1
Am I missing something? yes, you're missing the fact that the 4.0 release proposes a feature-stable 3.x. it wasn't released because of a dozen new features. that's why the release says that it's mission critical ready.
they're saying that all the 3.x features are locked in tight.
you can tell who understands databases and shell programming and who doesn't! anyone who suggests that postgres is better than sql is a perfect example.
postgres and mysql are two different tools for two different applications!
now will everyone show doesn't have a clue shutup already?
the NSA doesn't care about experience, they only care about college degrees.
anyone with 'mad Linux skills' could easily find a job today. i'm nearly beating them off with a stick in southern california.
from your website (www.w3c.org), one of the key points of the w3c's mission is:
" 1. Interoperability: Specifications for the Web's languages and protocols must be compatible with one another and allow (any) hardware and software used to access the Web to work together.
".
my question is this:
if the RAND measure passes, will it affect this statement?
let me rephrase that:
if ebay.com is sending so much mail to our employees that our employees are spending all day reading it, i'll block any incoming email from ebay. simple enough.
I hope MAPS elects to keep a list of companies which they are unable to block through their service.
um, what would the difference be to Experian weather they're listed on a spam list, or listed on a list that aren't allowed to be listed on a spam list?
answer? none whatsoever. lawyers? come back, we need you.
haha! you got flamebaited! serves you right for pretending you know something about MAPS and administration, when you don't know the first thing about it.
please go to MAPS HOME PAGE and read a little bit so you can at least join the conversation without looking like an idiot.
why go anonymous rick the red?
an admin can do whatever they want to their own network segment.
i'm the admin for a company. if my boss thinks people are spending their time shopping on ebay while at work, i can block ebay.
by your argument, ebay should be able to sue my company. uh, ya. ok. whatever.
what? do you have any idea what you're talking about? obviously not.
look, MAPS by itself affects no one. It's the ADMINS that make MAPS work. an ADMIN must implement the blackhole list via DNS or sendmail for anything to happen.
don't you think that ADMINS know what's best for the network they control? you obviously know nothing about system administration, go crawl into a hole.
MAPS provides a list of known spammers. so what? simply listing a company doesn't affect that company at all.
it's only when mail server admins incorporate the MAPS list as a spam list does action actually take place. shouldn't a company have to sue that particular admin?
it's the admin that actually did the damage, not a simple list somewhere...
i can put up a list of corporation names on my website on my own webserver and make it publically accessible. if one of the companies tells me to delist them, i can't say no??
from the article:
That means the settings will be placed in the most secure configurations when shipped, rather than in the most ``open'' position, which can leave the computer more vulnerable to hacking, but can offer more immediate and advanced functionality.
I would hope that every software vendor would adhere to this advice, even Linux vendors. Basically, it means that you can't use vulnerable services until you know what you're doing enough to unlock them and use them securely. this is good.
i can understand the reason behind the fingerprinting authentication scheme for encryption/decryption purposes, but what about down and out theft??
'oh', you say, 'the thief won't be able to use the laptop without my fingerprint'.
yes, but if your laptop is stolen, then you won't be able to use it either...
most thieves don't know anything at all about computers anyways -otherwise they probably wouldn't be thieves in the first place.
Ok, please help me understand. basically, the W3C is put into place to
better serve the public interest. PUBLIC INTEREST, not corporate
interests!
here's a blurb from the W3C's own web page:
" 1. Interoperability: Specifications for the Web's languages and
protocols must be compatible with one another and allow (any) hardware and
software used to access the Web to work together. "
Whoops, looks like that will be one change that will need to be made.
If the W3C is supporting the public interest, then why is the W3C PPWG
created solely by big corporations? Companies like Microsoft, AT&T,
Hewlett-Packard, Sun?
This would be similar to America having the English write our Declaration
of Independance after our victory. Come on W3C!
why hasn't members from the EFF or
FSF been included? Why are you letting money dominate this decision for
Christ sake?
maybe I should build a log cabin in British Columbia. i'm just too tired
of corporate takeover, big business, greed, greed and greed.
a lot of people keep saying, 'oh no, if you have a self powered artificial heart and swim in freezing water near the polar cap, you're dead.'
ever notice how much more heat you generate whilst you sleep or excerise? just store the extra and use while you're 'swimming with polar bears', because i know just how popular it is to swim with polar bears.... sheesh.
Bottom line: Just because a particular program is open source, does NOT automatically mean that particular program can truly be trusted.
in a sense, this is true. However, i know that if my code can be read by the public, i'm not going to publish a bunch of hacked up, half assed code and attach my name to it. i'm going to make sure it's as solid as can be so someone out there might email me saying, 'damn fine job, sir'.
think of it as quality control by programmers of the world.
next time, just say, 'of course we run Norton!'.
my DSL provider, pacbell, refuses to give you support (when it's their routing problem) if you don't run a windows machine.
so, if i have to call pacbell cuz they fuzzed up a router somewhere, i have to pretend i'm running windows so the trouble ticket doesn't go into the trash can.
there's nothing wrong with being deceptive if you're dealing with stupidity.
i totally agree with the anonymous coward here. the top post is obviously a troll. the funny part is, the troll uses his real name, while the reply is anonymous. is that backward or what!

christ people, if you really like the PalmOS, i have a vic-20 i'm trying to sell...
jeez, let's get with the 21st century folks. I would consider the PalmOS great in the year.... 1992.
the only thing good about the palm is the size, NOT the operating environment.
in a few years, PalmOS and WinCE will be dead and embedded linux will be running all PDA's.

my question is this:
if the RAND measure passes, will it affect this statement?
479 percent (almost sextupling) for Latin America.
timothy, i think you mean quintupling, not sextupling.
it is funny to see where your mind was while writing this, however. heehee.
