Vinum has not been mantained at a high level for some time and I have heard that there is a replacement in 5.0 that emulates the IBM AIX volume manager (which kicks ass in my opinion).
I believe he has had only one really good book

I really enjoyed THe Andromeda Strain, and thought it was superb I then read a few of his other; Congo, Terminal Man, Sphere, and couple of others whose name escape me and was not all that impressed. I have given up on him.
If anybody feels the same way I do, I can recommend this book I will then read it, else it holds no chance.
I detest Montego Bay Jamaica as it has been destroyed be tourism, but it does have the best restaurant on the planet, "The Pork Pit". It is nothing but a circular open thatched roof bar with stool and a little outhouse lookin shack behind it. The menu? Simple, beer, pork (1/4, 1/2, and 1 lb) and hot sauce (and brother, I do mean HOT). The bury the hog and cook it the old fashioned way.
I thought it would suck to be one of those unlucky sots that get struck by lightening. Can you imagine how much your day would suck if the gods of quantum physics decided to smite you with one of those bad boys.
I am getting signal 11 (seg fault) if I tried to load the glx. The error in signal 11 caught while trying to load GlxInit. Anybody know what is going on? If I comment out glx in the modules sections the rest loads fine, and it does appear to work quicker. Mind that I have done only basic testing, e.g. scrolling through large images with gqview, but they do appear to be loading quicker.
You are correct, I did not think of the relative strength of the voice of the tech. sector compared to that of the media and microsoft and how it will diminish in the wake bust. I agree that there have been some companies to speak out against crappy legislation and it is a pity that their voices are now the less distinguished.
My hope was that it would make the users interests louder as some of the background noise diminished. But, as you mentioned, it will probably only make the media industries voices even more dominant.
Perhaps, now that the large tech leaders do not have the political influence that they once had it will allow for more policy directed towards users rights instead of the industries.
SCI was also the clearance that I was looking into getting.
I was told that if I got the clearance that I would not be able to leave the country without prior approval. Yes, permission is usually given. As far as associating freely with foreigners, what they are most concerned about is having a relationship develop to the point of feeling an obligation to that individual. Like you said all contacts must be reported and any improprieties must be reported immediately.
These are reasonable requests and they do require a certain amount of personal sacrifice. But, I still contend that these provide the basis for the reasons not many academics are willing to work in the intelligence community.
In the article: Shocking as it may seem, our intelligence community does not routinely strive to identify the top people in the world (not just Americans) on the various topics of concern - from terrorism to the environment to human trafficking to corruption to disease and public health - with the result that our analysis tends to be shallow and incestuous, relying on the same consultants again and again.
I am not sure how many of you have looked into getting a clearance. There are some serious ethical choices that you need to make in order to get one. Some of these include: 1. Restricted travel. 2. Not being able to associate freely with non US citizens. 3. (probably the most important for the academic types). Depending on what clearence you get and from which agency anything that you go to publish will have to be peer reviewed by people in the intelligence community before it can be published.
THe reason that this is important is that the intelligence agencies can not just talk to any Tom, DIck or Harry about somethings. Many of the academic leaders can not justify the restrictions on personal freedom, so they choose not to work in the intelligence community.
It would be great for them to pull resources off of everybody but, they are limited to what they can talk about and it would be easier for those opposed to our interests to learn what we are up to.
I agree that it would be great to be able to do this but there are several things that need to be resolved before hand.
The company also is preparing a broad attack on the case as being inspired by Microsoft competitors,
such as AOL Time Warner Inc., Oracle Corp. and Sun Microsystems, as a means of crippling the
software company.
Who are they trying to kid? What percentage of microsoft business is msn internet access? The msn access has been rated one of the worst isp's on a regular basis. Doesn't oracle primarily do databases.
If microshaft puts this out and people actually buy it, my entire opinion of the species goes down a couple of notches.
Cryptography is going to be a perpetual game of "measure, counter-measure" as computing power increases and people develop more clever ways of doing things.
Does anybody have good sources about this? Ones based on historical encryption and decryption that lead into modern times would be ideal.
I agree that creators should have exclusive rights to their material for a while (everybody needs to make a living) and then it should be pushed out
in public domain.
I am glad that this case will be heard, the application to the sciences will be great. It is unfortunate that there are resources wasted in abundance trying to further lines of research when that research has already been done by other companies or agencies.

Capitalism is the best system available for the short term allocation of resources, but I believe we need to rethink parts of it if we are going to have better long term goals and plans for the whole of humanity.
>> How can we, who dont even understand life, who cant create life in a controlled enviroment, claim that life came about by chance?
Actually some of the most interesting theories and what I believe are the best explanations of how life started are autocatalytic reactions.
I am sorry that I do not have a ready reference to provide you with. I can not remember where I originally saw this but I have seen it pop up in several articles since then.
I have yet to be able to render java pages correctly with konqueror. The cnn.com/QUICKNEWS pages never renders the headlines correctly. I would very much appreciate if this was fixed or if someone could tell me what my dumbass maneuver has been. I am using FreeBSD with KDE, and have built the jdk. It still will not use it correctly even though the java option is set correctly in the konqueror options.
That episode, in my opinion was one of the best episodes ever. Lots o' religous commentary. I have always been really pleased with their social commentary as well. Little bits like "most people marry out of fear of growing old alone" is a resounding one.
This sound like it could be a great class and it would be a hoot to sit in on. One can always hope that the one of the questions on the final would be...
In 500 words or less describe the moral, ethical, and religous foundations in Homer's refrain of "Mmmmmmm donuts."
and somebody moderated me down for flamebait. I really do have a hard time giving any credibility to Microsoft's arguments about bug reporting and security. The first day on the job as a newbie sys admin I was told about tcp wrappers. It is amazing how much of a first line defense they provide. Why haven't they made that a standard feature? Yes, I know that some third party solutions, like zone alarm, exist. But to my knowlegde they do not do forward and reverse lookups. Also, as I work in IT now, I periodically ask users of any office type program if they use macros and the majority do not. So why do they still ship those products with that functionality wide open when there have been so many macro virus and breaches? Why is there no way to disable that port that listens for netbios? Nay, I can not see how they can even attempt to defend their stance and place they blame on others when they can not even take these basic steps themselves.

Any word on this?
I am sure we would all appreciate it.

Damn fine eating, you should try it some time.

it is no wonder why you write such lame shit.

I do not think I would like the constant reminder of all the dust bunnies. I think blowing the machine out every couple of months is good.
Thanks. I will check it out.

at least that is better than getting spam about herbal douches.

Not to be picky, but I seriously doubt that the bodies would be recycled. Crutchfield-Jacobs disease is some really bad ju-ju.
Glad to hear it. Good job on the way you did it. First proposal I have ever scene like this.
Welcome to the bedroom battlefield!.
Just remember, it now no longer a question of who. It is a question of when.
