It is well known as the world's most secure operating system
That is true.. if you do a default installation and make absolutely no change to any of the services that come installed with it.. that's why it was secure for 4 something years.. but they didn't mention that if you had an old BIND version at the time it would still be "secure":-)
is 250,000 Euro really needed to educate and research on migration from Windows to Linux? Personally, but I know this will not happen, I would take advantage of resources on the Internet (i heart google:-)) based on migration for the systems and the users. Of course, later on, the money can be used to train users how to use linux, but with KDE 3.0 and so many more easier window managers and distributions popping (LibraNet a personal favorite for me).. it really won't be too difficult to install it and use it. There would be no reason for them to even use the console.
I don't understand what/why you're crying Hemos. What if you were a certain race and a website was found via google, claiming how much they despise your race and culture and want to kill off your whole race, for instance. How would you feel when Google goes ahead and blocks these sites from coming up in the search? Happy? Or would you be offended due to the fact that Google is blocking that site from popping up from further searches? Have some respect towards people who don't want to see such negative things, such as a pro-nazi site, white supremacist site..
Ogg Vorbis is not the greatest thing known to man.. let's face it.. and NO I AM NOT TROLLING...
Linux Zealots LOVE Ogg.. why? Because of the licensing.. not the compression rate..
Ogg's compression rate/size is not even a case for a competition against MP3.. against WMA for that case..
Here's the proof.. and I know i'm going to get modded down, but folks.. MP3 is the mainstream.. your typical Joe Shmoe will have no clue what the hell you're talking about when you say Ogg Vorbis.. for all he/she will think.. it's some foreign film or something..
just like reality based TV shows.. you're going to have actors (like Denis Leary is doing on Comedy Central with "Contest Searchlight") calling out to the people.. come up with a script.. fund them for it and air it on TV during the creation of the film with the drama bullshit thrown in..
I guess Dustin Hoffman is right after all.. Hollywood is indeed running out of ideas!
This article talks about how a 21 year old software engineer, networking specialist was able to uncap his modem via the ATTBI service
I, myself, used to work for a cable company who's run into situations like this (i'd rather not say who), and have yet not done anything to prevent this from happening in the future
Firstly, let's think realistic (and this is not a flame). Most of the people who will use a laptop on a flight.. a high percentage of them will be using it for business purpose most likely. If a person is traveling frequently with their laptop, shouldn't their company provide them a cell phone that's 3G supported? Then they could just run a link from the phone to the laptop and voila, instant internet. Which leads to the next point. Why bother paying the extra fee for using 64kbps all the time? If anything the airline companies should consider doing a "frequent surfing miles?" Yes, I know, that's a horrible way to put it, but you see where I am getting at?
Secondly, as far as I know, wouldn't an internet connection have some sort of an interference with the radars? I'm assuming it's a satellite internet connection, but there are probably a bunch of issues the airline companies will be coming upon with this whole new addition.
Second thought might not be so valid, but bleh.. I have to be critical;-)
I'm awful at programming.. and I constantly will have problems with any program I compile. In fact, 90% of the time.. programs I finish and compile will end up crashing (seg faulting) most of the time. I wasn't born to be a programmer.. but anyway, I guess this explains my failure to ever get ass.
I have this site bookmarked that links to many different "Abandonware" websites that let you download those old PC games (i.e. Sierra, Broderbund, etc..) for free. Just playing Police Quest 1/2/3 gave me old memories of how I used to spend my days on the computer trying to solve the game.:-)
I'm lucky, because i just checked today's comic (if there was any) about 5 minutes ago... i'm assuming piro's site is going to be down for a couple of hours. Not to mention, they just had a server relocation which caused them to be down for a week;-)
A while back, a group of Japanese scientists conducted a test that showed that hi-tech maps of the mind show that computer/video games are damaging to the brain development and could lead to children being unable to control violent behaviour.
With so much tension going on right now in the world and the whole situation after 9/11, personally, I believe that any vital information related to science and other fields of development should be kept confidential and internal.
When Clinton was in office, look what happened (i'm a Republican). First off the whole Sandia National Laboratories scandal with the scientist from China who stole information on nuclear development (please keep in mind, my facts are probably wrong because this happened a while back and I haven't got a chance to research on it), but not even that. Clinton sold China a bunch of our layouts for modernized weaponry, aircraft, etc.. probably due to the fact that China gave the Clinton Administration a hearty donation.
The fact is, in general and it's the truth, if you find or discover something that no one ever has found or discovered, be smart and don't share it with anyone. As greedy as I might sound, it's a fact, it's reality. It's like finding a great idea for a business that nobody has right now. Are you going to go telling the whole world you found this great idea? Absolutely not.
Therefore, I think it's best that for now, any new developments should be kept confidential rather than sharing this with colleagues, and especially colleagues from other countries.
Being a consultant... i wrote a documentation for some clients on how to clear documents and clean up their mail in Outlook, Netscape or whatever mail program they use.
Also, if you go by my method... let them know how to clear their cache, history, cookies, temp files, etc...
At one company I worked for in the past... a guy was fired and I had to clear out all his files on his laptop for the next employee. It ended up the guy got fired for surfing pr0n sites at work, which leaves me this question to answer... who in the hell would go to pr0n sites at work???

very good point.. but it also depends on how one goes about configuring sudo and to what, limited, access they have to certain root commands..
and the best movie ;-)
K-Meleon is one of my personal favorite Mozilla browsers.. small, fast, stable.. but sadly no work has been put into it for a year now..
Please bear with me on this

Yeah.. it's called FreeNet

United Devices along with Intel have designed a clustering program where they use PCs from finding a cure to cancer to modeling the climate..
Only thing that sucks is that they don't have a linux distribution available.. yet
You can download the 9 second wave where the face appears.. here
Also, you can download Spectrogram here
Not sure of which program in *nix can do it.. any ideas?

As if I'm not insecure about myself already.. will this make me even more insecure? :-\
Two issues on my mind...

what the hell is the purpose of this? To release a statistic annually saying how many keys do users press on their keyboard?
