I'm not sure why I'm writing about this here...
There is a heroine complex (I'm not kidding, it's like New Jack City) in Chicago at 1510, 1520, and 1433 14th Place (Ashland and Roosevelt). My XGF just disappeared (again) and I'm sure is pan-handling and living there (again).
Please test this weapon there! Fry the place and watch the junkies come out screaming.
I'm going down there tommorrow daytime to try to find Mia, who coincidentally is the XGF who's MIA, and convince her to go home, wish me luck! The cops don't want to help (they know it's there... I drove by on a recon last night and there were three cop cars and a van circling the place, but they seemed more interested in getting my plates because I approacher the place that in shutting it down!) Wish me luck, if this is my last post to/. it's because someone down there put a bullet in me...
I MUST disagree with the Troll tag here. He's right; and what's more is this thought...
What about all those Doze users who bought/DLd RH or Mandrake, or even Slackware, only to realize six-months later, that they've been running a wildly-successful anon-FTP?
It's the same thing, you're setting up a disk-share over a hostile protocol.
OK, I'll bite... Apache can be produced under the open-source model, things like games cannot - you cannot get graphic and sound artists to work for free... First of all, who said you had to work for free for Free Software? I know a lot of people at Red Hat, Mandrake, Suse, contrib.net, and even/. who are getting paid to produce Free Software; and that's only to name a few.
Secondly, to answer your comment on games in particular, let's see,
GLTron is a good, light-weight one to start with; it's hours of pure joy wrapped in a 1.2Mb GPL'd package. Getting into the heavier projects, Parsec (Free as in Beer) looks extremely promissing and will be included in future RH releases, among others. There's also the much-anticipated Crystal Space 3D engine and SDKs, almost to a first release, and looking incredible; I've been looking to port TacOps to it for a Free Software alternative to my favorite Unreal Tounament MOD.
That's just a couple examples off the top of my head, a quick look at http://sourceforge.net/foundry/games/ would probably be very informative for you!
It seems to me that words are fscking everything up in the information age. Can someone please hack-up a good mind-reading app so we can start building a neuronet and get past the use of English (or any other language)words?
I'm going to interject here by saying you've both proven yourselves wrong by way of your dictionary blocks... periodical (pr-d-kl) adj.
1. Periodic.
2. a. Published at regular intervals of more than one day. Did you understand that phrase "more than one day?"
and secondly...
publish (pub' lish) v.
1. To prepare and issue (printed material) for public distribution or sale.
2. To bring to the public attention; announce.
So now that you've both used words to completely unprove your point, can we just say that wasting energy over your differences in rhetoric is just plain stupid? Considering this is a story about the dangers and consequences of misappropriated words, would you both consider ending this pathetic thread?
You better watch your bread-baking, unless you want to pay royalties on it later... Rambus is on the standardization committee; but I hear they're dropping out.;)
Oh no, targeted marketing, it's corporate rape!
Is that a Think Geek banner-ad I see?
But seriously, when you opened your HDD to the outside world what exactly did you think would happen?
I've been way too busy to do anything about it; but this reminds me of a plot-line I was contemplating... A sci-fi spy type novel set in the not-so-distant future, where our hero has an encrypted message hidden in his DNA. A message that can only be decrypted by the DNA of another person, a woman, who he searches for throughout the planet for some reason of international importance... hmm, could be a pretty good porno too:)
Wow... I just wanted to say thanks for all that info. I know a lot of it was speculation, but it seems very insightful to me. I wish I had mod points to through around, too bad it is such a good answer to an offtopic thread. But thanks again.:)
Actually verizonsucks.com was registered by verizon before the SBC announcement was ever made. It's probably the smartest thing they've done since the merger took place.
"They were looking for the fruits and instrumentalities of a computer crime," a spokesperson from Kent State University Police Department said. "They were concerned with possible improper use of a computer system." This is what really scares me about the whole thing... shouldn't they, more specifically, have been looking for evidence that the student actually meant harm to anyone?? That term is way too vague. This needs to be broken down into specific things you are looking for, it should be specified in the warrant given, and looking elsewhere on the system needs to be made illegal. What if they searched through GNUcash and found a purchase from an Amsterdam seed company or other possibly controversial files? You better bet you're going down for what they found, because the warrant simply states possible improper use... is NOT sufficient.
I think that this has more to do with students perhaps, than with the average working joe. Students do have access to the fab rooms and so forth(in your better research-minded universities). Imagine developing an open standard for these core designs in a way that could conceivibly turn out blazing chips from university labs. That's where I think this project would like to go...
Isreal is one of the most important nations on our planet. That country's people have always been and continue to be at the center of political and religeous arguments and beliefs which deeply impact the rest of the world. They strugle daily with other cultures who would have them eliminated altogether, given half the chance. Their web sites and PCs are attacked by enemies (and real enemies, night like your flame-war opponents here on/., or that neighbor with the barking dog) at every given moment.
Why in the hell would they be running MS anything???
Is this the REAL reason certain Isreali software companies have the source to Windows? To seal it up for MS perhaps?
(I appologize for lack of links... just speaking of the top of my head; but most of this has been discussed here before)
Are you kidding me? Do you use Linux? Programs crash all the time. The platform stays stable and at worst (most of the time) restarting X is all that's needed (read Netscape). Even some apps that claim "Stable" status crash every now and then. Be a zealot, just don't be a foolish one./rant
"Please be advised that human remains may not be transported through the mail, but we assumed this to be of sentimental value, and made an exception in your case."
Isn't that nice... now maybe Tony can send me my fingers back, they have sentimental value...
Absolutely... Does Taco even know who's paying his bills lately? Not that I would prefer him censoring material about advertisers, but I'm sure that silly little article will cost him a few thousand $$$.
With Linux making more and more headway, and IBM about to launch a HUGE marketing campaign on our behalf, I ask this of the community... Does it really matter anymore?
Can we finally get past this whole "M$ is evil, Bill's the devil attitude? I mean, when is the last time you paid a tax to Bill? I'm guessing a long, long time.
Wouldn't our energies be better focussed and possibly even more creative if we could just finally let this go and move on?
(I realize that my.sig is sort of a Bill-bash, but it really was a funny joke.)
Don't you think someone could hack a usb mouse as a kernel mod? A lot of people comment on how the linux community usually mimics other OSs, and how we lack true ingenuity (not me, I'm not that ignorant; but I've heard it numorous times). Why has noone hacked a 3-button mouse for Apple(tm) hardware? It would certainly get a "k3w1-H4ck" story on/.
