Hell no I don't want to shoot anyone! Ammo box is the LAST resort. Both Soap box and Ballot box come first...perhaps you didn't intend a troll, but you did seem to ignore the first half of the parents statement; legal process first, and revolution as a final resort.
Ignore the parent...he's just pissed that I have his job slot;-)
I live in rural Alabama, and speak English at least as well as someone from the rest of the country. I work as a telecommuter (run a support department for a firewall startup) and have never had a problem. I agree that it is nice to get a nice home for 80-130K as opposed to 350-600K in some other areas (San Fran comes to mind.)
Since I timeshift to cover some of the EU, living in the eastern US is nice, and we have fewer problems with telco and power than some of the more populous sections due to less inclement weather.
Remeber, lots of IT jobs are actually information brokerage - knowlege based economy. Who cares about location. Timezone and communications skills are the premium here.
Question....are medical records OUTSIDE the US treated with an EU equivlent legal protection as HIPAA? Regarding 4 digit access codes....I don't think thats quite up to the privacy rights standard defined by hipaa. I still agree...it IS better than nothing.
It's not a matter of not understanding. I don't agree...but hey...I'm certainly pro freedom of speech. I simply think you're a nutless wonder for not signing in to comment. Part of being committed to protest and change is having the courage to stand by your words. And remember freedom of speech means others are just as free to slap you down.
Regarding hiding in bunkers...last I checked GWB was not in a bunker but was viewing relief efforts in a devastated area of america. I'd like to know all about the pack of lies my government is feeding me, and I'd like to know how your media/government is telling you the truth. Of course, I'd need to know which government that is to form an opinion. Lastly, we have free press here, and in case you haven't noticed most of them seem to hate my government FAR more than you seem to dislike it.
I'm sorry you're so pissed at us. I'd like to better understand so maybe, if I believe your points are valid, I can vote to address them. But I'll be damned if I listen to an anonymous voice in the wind. It's called Anonymous COWARD for a reason.
I agree its a shame that lots of people can't think at that level of altruism. Unfortunately, I'm one of them. I believe that ultimately, most violent cultures only respect strength. I will always respect your religios beliefs (if they are not yours, my apoligies). I do ask, however, if you have read about the Japanese actions in the pacific (Bataan, the Phillipines, etc) or the German horrors of the camps. I understand the visceral urge to wipe them out, even as I am appalled by it.
BTW, I enjoyed reading your post. Eloquent and concise, even if it appears that we disagree.
So what we are being told it that downloading something from a potentially untructed source and then running that data casn lead to bad things? Oh My!
When are we going to stop acting like each new protocol or application vulnerability is a new thing? Until NX (No Execute) and good input sanitization is ubiquitous, these things will contine to plague the networked world.
spin arroung with the bottom out while you use it...centripedal force will keep the liquid on the far end of the tube....course...spining aroung whilst getting a binger....not so easy.
You don't want to have to recompile a kernel,...OK, compile EVERYTHING in and sacrifice the performance gained by having just what YOU need. I *LIKE* having control over everything myself. I chose control and responsibility over easy of use. As for your CS students...well...I never heard of a college student who didn't need to be exposed to another way of doing somenthing to challlenge their existing paradigm. And lastly, WHY are your astronomy students using Linux? Use the best tool for the job. PERIOD.
1) make yourself visible. I'm a telecom...I've gotten a raise and a promotion in one year of employement for a Silicon company. Work hard, do more than is expected, and be creative. (It helps that I am 2 time zones earlier than my boss, AND I get into the office an hour earlier adjusted. He sees lots of email addressed before he even comes in.)
2) Leave work at work, and have a dedicated room for work. When I'm at work I stay there...just like a "regular" job. I "come home" at lunch, and again at dinner. If I want to check my email late, I do so from my couch, but I am respectful of my time with my family.
As for taking the pay cut...why? I am at least as effective as an in office worker...more so sometimes because I get distracted or dragged away less. It is easier to find an employeer that is openminded about telecommuting if A) they are a technology company, and B) they have employees spread all over the globe.
but not impossible. In laymans terms it means you can't trust the OS to provide your user space applications with correct data. Boot into an alternative OS (Knoppix), and you can then run cleanup tools.
It's also possible to use a software hardening tools to prevent changes to the kernel (can't remember the exact company, think the name was "Server-Lock", or something like that).
The real answer is layered security, well managed backup and data protection strategies, and the understanding that no networked PC is immune.
Hey...you never know. Seriously, I post article text when appropriate because most readers/posters can't be bothered to actually read the damn thing unless it's in front of them.
OK...so according to some marketdroid "Current PC architecture is nearing it's limits". I bet he owns stock in the company that it trying to sell you the new stuff! Last I checked AMD and a few other BILLION dollar companies were still in business.
Now it is true that multiple core chips seem to be where everyone is headed. Even so, I'm not sure how these magical chips will "converge and fuse" digital content. Remeber that this article is A) light on details, and B) put together by a person who is vying for your dollar/pound/yen etc.
Chip power, times 10 Sony, IBM, Toshiba disclose details of new processor that will run next-generation electronics. November 29, 2004: 6:13 AM EST
TOKYO (Reuters) - IBM, Sony Corp. and Toshiba Corp. on Monday unveiled some key details on the powerful new "Cell" processor the three are jointly producing to run next-generation computers, game consoles and TVs.
Cloaked in secrecy and the object of much speculation since the three conglomerates announced the project in 2001, Cell will be 10 times more powerful than conventional chips and able to shepherd large chunks of data over broadband networks.
In a joint release, the three firms gave a glimpse of their respective plans for Cell-powered products, but were mum on technical details, which will be revealed Feb. 6-10 at the International Solid State Circuits Conference in San Francisco.
IBM (Research), Sony (Research) and Toshiba are investing billions of dollars to develop and prepare for mass production of Cell, which is a multicore semiconductor composed of several processors that work together to handle multiple tasks at the same time.
"In the future, all forms of digital content will be converged and fused onto the broadband network," Ken Kutaragi, executive deputy president and COO of Sony, said in the release. "Current PC architecture is nearing its limits."
IBM said it would start pilot production of the microprocessor at its plant in East Fishkill, N.Y., in the first half of 2005. It will use advanced 300 millimeter silicon wafers, which yield more chips per wafer than the 200 mm kind.
It also announced plans to first use the chip in a workstation it is developing with Sony, targeting the digital content and entertainment industries.
Sony said it would launch home servers and high-definition televisions powered by Cell in 2006, and reiterated plans to use the microchip to power the next-generation PlayStation game console, a working version of which will be unveiled in May.
Toshiba said it planned to launch a high-definition TV using Cell in 2006. Top of page

Um - how is it cheaper than linux? Not trolling - just not sure what you meant?
Skype into this relationship? Why is this not a perfectly acceptable competitive advantage offered to a partner?
Not trolling...whats the skinny on this issue?
/. the download site!!! If we crush the site and burnup the download bandwidth, I'll be able to keep using my iPod at work! Oh wait....
Done. Finis, toast
And best of all..the message in Firefox...
"The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments." Um...OK...sure

Am I high or low? I was only quoting an article that said a San Fran 4 bedroom home averages 614K. I was being conservative in my estimate.
You know the difference between Yankees and Damn Yankees? The Yankees go home! (only joking, but I like less crowded conditions)

Dude, you're an AC, comment like you have a sack.
I understand what real OS's do...I run one. :-D Unfortunately, the VAST majority of people don't, so we get to hope for NX and data sanitization.
When are we going to stop acting like each new protocol or application vulnerability is a new thing? Until NX (No Execute) and good input sanitization is ubiquitous, these things will contine to plague the networked world.

Thank you for realizing the sacrifices of both the soldier and the astronaut. I know both and am damn proud of them both.

$Diety love you for saying what I was thinking. I've not laughed that hard in days.

Cause this one does AM too. My wife like AM radio. (Don't know why but she does and I love her, so that's important.)
