I update monthly...MS has this great thing called 'patch Tuesday' that serves as a reminder to emerge sync and emerge -upDNv world. If you update only once a year, then you're just asking for problems..There's so many major upgrades to packages within a year that even config file changes on a Fedora machine would kill ya.
You will hear, see, and read "RTFM" dozens of times before you're done
I've been using Gentoo for 2 years now and the only RTFM I've gotten was a 'Read the forums, man'. One quick search on forums.gentoo.org, and the answer was in the second post, spelled out step-by-step. Every problem I've had on any of my Gentoo boxes has been answered on the forums. 95% of the time the answer is already there and you just have to post the error string into the search box.
Either this guy doesn't know Linux as well as he thought, or this story is just trollbait.
Nope...If your TruCrypt data file is 2G, then the space available to the non-hidden part is 2G. The space available to the hidden section is 2G minus the space the non-hidden files take up. If you're not careful and don't check the 'protect data' checkbox when you open the non-hidden partition, any files you add might overwrite data on the hidden section. I believe the non-hidden section starts storing data from the beginning and the hidden section starts adding files from the end.
I guess the only question left is: Are they going to end the final SG-1 episode with "To be continued....", squash the credits, and then do a voice over saying "Log on to SciFi.com and tell us what you thought of the final episode"?
I swear, I couldn't log onto the scifi forums for over 2 days when they did that.
The current state of net advertising is that someone else is paid for stealing your time and your bandwidth.
I dislike intrusive ads as much as the next person, but come on... Take slashdot for example. I don't block any ads on *.slashot.org. I like the site and would hope it continues being a good site. If they make $0.001 for me not blocking the ads on the page, it doesn't bother me. Even hippie communes sell beads to pay the water bill and bandwidth for a site as big as/. isn't free, so why can't they cover their costs? In fact, aren't you stealing(yes, I know it's not "stealing" but for lack of a better word) from/. by blocking the ads? What would you do if you went into work one day, opened your browswer and/. was down because they couldn't afford their ISP bill this month because everyone blocked all the ads and they had no income? Or if they started a subscription only model? You'd bitch and complain about how/. is just a greedy business only out for money, not realizing that people like you pushed them into it.
Send a message and block annoying (floating, flash, animated, or middle of the article) ads, but don't block ads just because someone besides you *might* make penny and that is "stealing" your bandwidth.
They are refering to their market position and their rights being secured away from the end user.
If you read TFA, you'll see the phrase 'the most secure operating system in the industry' is similar to what auto makers use. Ford or Toyota never says 'Our car is the best'. They say 'The Toyota Newsupercar is best in its class', which of course means the class is limited to all vehicles that are the same year, color, size, weight, manufacturer, and model as the Toyota Newsupercar. The 'in the industry' is most likely limited to large companies that had 2005 quarterly gross profits of over $8 billion and have a product called Windows. The "industry" is further limited to all home products with the names Vista or WindowsME.
As you can see, Vista is indeed the most secure OS in the industry.*

What they got wrong: - AOL "was" cool before there were many dialup ISPs... most of you have been AOL users at one point or another. ....Nope, all the cool people and geeks were on Compuserve using real newsgroups for porn and surfing the web with the Compuserve PPP dialer that didn't screw with your dial-up settings.
- Motorola Rokr. Was there a better alternative at the time? ....Yes, an iPod in one pocket and your cell phone in the other.
- The Zip Drive held more than most people's HDs when it came out. If it weren't for the low price of CD-R/RW drives, more people might still be using them. ....I don't know about that. I had a 1G in one machine and a 2G in another. I also have to say *click*
I especially don't like how they sensationalize a short list of items that one guy dislikes... and "of all time" goes back to 1989? Is the author 17 years old? ....I have to agree with you there. The author has probably never even used a real XT machine, seen the real Transformers cartoons(not these new bastardized yugioh/pokemon versions), or watched Mr. Wizard.
(Half of the/. crowd just said "Who's Mr. Wizard?)
Actually, they do. About a year and a half ago, I got a letter from Directv and Nielson asking if I wanted to participate in a 12 month DVR program that rates shows DVR owners watch and more importantly "when"(or if) they record/watch them. The rest of the letter was pretty much an ammended privacy statement saying that instead of non-identifiable aggregate info, they would be pulling what I watched, recorded, and when or if I watched the recorded program. And then a separate NDA that said something about not being able to tell family or friends about being in the nielson study until the year was over.
I'm living on my own money, and liberal. Your test doesn't work.
<sarcasm><toungeincheek>Ah, that may be true..but some of the programs on your web page(www.lcscanada.com/jaf) are licensed under the (L)GPL. And as we all know, "GPL"=="communist plot to destroy commerce" So, you're just living on your own money until you can get a government payout</toungeincheek></sarcasm>
It may turn out better than fine. It might turn out that they get tired of not being able to install MS's own software because everything REQUIRES admin rights and they'll fix it.
So yes the Internet is that fragile. It was designed to deal with outside threaths, not inside.
No, the problem is that the Internet was created as a trusted network between universities. IPv6 has been created as an untrusted network and many of these problems would disappear if everyone switched.
Perhaps now it will finally compell change to the (broken) patent system.
The patent system will be fixed about the time the copyright system is fixed. That time is never.
The RIAA, MPAA, and Disney buy votes for their latest bill at the same time the large patent holders are "donating" money to those congressional members. The only difference is that right now, the copyright/drm lobby is using Benjamins and the patent lobby is using Jacksons.
Wow, I think we've found the one item that Windows, Linux, Mac, BSD, and VMS users can agree on. Mon-Wed there are the only days I watch G4/TechTV because that's when the new X-Plays are on. Thurs-Sun, I can't think of anything worth watching on that channel.
Under the new rules, a junk faxer could visit your website and call that an existing business relationship. The new rules also prevent junk-fax trapping, in which someone posts their fax number on the internet, waits for junk faxes, then files suit against the faxers under the TCPA.
This FCC ruling seems like it's actually tightening up the rules a bit.
FTFA: This definition also clearly contemplates that the EBR could be formed by any of the following: an inquiry, application, purchase or transaction by the business or residential subscriber Consistent with the legislative history of the TCPA, an inquiry by a consumer could form the basis of the EBR. However, the definition makes it clear that the inquiry must be about the products or services offered by the entity. Thus, we conclude that an inquiry about store location or the identity of the fax sender, for instance, would not alone form an EBR for purposes of sending facsimile advertisments. Merely visiting a website, without taking additional steps to request information or provide contact information, also does not create an EBR.
In addition, we conclude that the EBR exemption applies only to the entity with which the business or residential subscriber has had a 'voluntary two-way communication'. It would not extend to affiliates of that entity. While a fax broadcaster which is retained to send facsimile ads on behalf of an entity that has an EBR with the recipient, it is not permitted to use that same EBR to send a fax ad on behalf of another client.
---- In other words, the faxer cannot say they have an "existing business relationship" because THEY visited YOUR site. The only way that an EBR can be formed is for you to ask them about their products and provide them a fax number. The spammers cannot form a relationship with you. You must form a relationship with them. That relationship does not extend to the spammer's partners. For a partner to spam you, you must also ask them about their products and provide a number. The pdf also goes on to say that you can note on an advertisment, directory or internet site that it does not accept unsolicited advertisments at the fax number in question.
For all of these years M$ has tried to Buy, steal or distroy anything to do with Linux, Then why do they want to be so nice to anyone dealing with Linux, Be afraid.
It's pretty simple. They've tried killing, buying, and trashing Linux. It's not going away. So now the question is 'How can I make money off of Linux?' This is market research to find out what MS-Linux interoperability tools people may need and how to best sell them.

A method of approving patents that are crappy, obvious, and/or already being used as a standard.
