But see your argument relies on an assumption that everything is within time. The only way for us to measure change is via a ruler called time. "The universe was created" (a spot in time where on one side there was nothing (or something else), and on the other side the universe existed. So if we can assume that everything exists inside of time, then the "logical" or "scientific" way to go about this is to "doubt" that assumption. Now of course we can't (yet) prove their is a state where time doesn't exist, or maybe outside of time, but if we try to get into a state of mind where time wouldn't exist, then there would be no need for a creator of god. nor for a lineage of gods. Of course this would mean that god isn't a finite entity. Maybe god, or whatever, is matter. Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. Maybe it's just not explainable. But, what ever the case, I don't think the rules that man has set up to try and bind us into doing "good", would be the little petty things that God would be trying to enforce. What would a god care if I made it to a certain building on time, one day a week?
Please reply to this... I would love to hear the rebuttal.
Would it make it better if he/she had of stated "a higher power", "a divine being", or "the cosmic power"? What if instead of saying "my god", they said "Lisa Simpson's god". And who is to say that the parent post wasn't referencing god in the form of "something more than we". You anti religious zealots are just as annoying at the ones who try to force their religion on you. You say that you can't believe in god because you can't put your hands on it, and that you just don't buy the whole story. Yet you are so emphatic about believing a story on a web site that may or may not have the facts correct about some science that may or may not have happened, and that your will NEVER be able to put your hands on? Why? Your argument is canceled by your own actions. I agree that you shouldn't have to be preached to, no one should try to force you to believe in god. If there is a god, then he/she/it/anti-it, wouldn't want you to believe under the guise of force anyway. If a god wanted you to be force to believe, then it would force you to do it in a more 1st person way. However, don't tear anyone else a new one because you can't deal with the truth that they hold on to... your beliefs are very suspect too. As swipe!
What happens if you have more than one bootable USB device? USB assigns ID's to devices dynamically, so that sda1=drive1 is not ALWAYS true. USB polls for devices, and then waits for the devices to respond. Device ID's are handed out "first come, first served" basis. While that's great for cameras, where there software looks for a device with a particular media type in it's QMS response, a bios will not have the luxury of obtaining a particular QMS signature (again where there is more than one bootable usb drive) before it begins the boot sequence. Not in today's BIOS anyway.
If you are serious, then you have to realize that another house doesn't quite fit the bill here. I'm talking about putting your machines in a closet of your house (with A/C and a dehumidfier) like a guest bedroom closet. Then you can run your KVM controler anywhere you want. I have mine running to several different rooms. If my daughter wants to play a CD based game, or I want to load some media, I DO have to get up and go to the box, but that is very rare, as I have most of my media on a network file system (including CDROM ISO's). If you wanted to have a floppy/cdrom/etc, then you could place a small case with no fans. Your workstation would only hold a floppy, a cd or cd-rw, maybe some USB/Serial/LPT ports, or what ever you wanted, and boot it over the network. The power supply wouldn't heat up with out a fan because you wouldn't be running any hard drives from it, and your motherboard doesn't have to run a fast chip 486 DX w/o fan would do. This would allow you to have a super quite work env, and still have the benefit of "external media" next to your station.
I hope this answers your questions. If you are a troll, maybe someone else will benefit from this.
I really don't think that is what he/she is looking for. I'm thinking he wants a more "remote" install and continous update type application. In that case, I would suggest symantec's 'live update' code. You can (we did) license it from them, and rebrand it to fit your needs. It's is constently researched and updated. Security holes are pached in hours of notification, and we haven't had a problem with them in more than a year.
We have over 100 KVM switches in our building. in 30 different labs. Some are for SUN, some HP, most for PCs, and none of them ever give us problems. However, while we are not using the top of the line matrix KVMs, we are not using the SOHO crap that the artical rates. Our switches are setup to handle more than one user, 2 or 4, and control 8 to 32 machines. I am looking for a cheep way to buy one of these monsters for my home. The cheapest 4 user by 16 port system I have found is $3999. All of the switches we have can handle 1600x1200, and allow for PS/2 | DINN | serial style keyboard/mouse connections. All of them have on screen display, however none of them have USB or sound support. If you as a reader are looking into KVM switches, but don't want the sound of humming boxes under your desk, check out the longview extenders from . You can put this bad boy 200ft away from your kvm switch, and still view your screen at 1600x1200. We play FPS'ers via these titans all the time, with no loss of res, or screen update speed.
Also, while VNC (slow screen updates), is by far the greatest free tool of it's kind I have ever seen, there are cases where you really really want to be at the console, and yet still keep your boxes in a controled environment.
So maybe you should start the OSEB (Open Source Education Board). Start a board that would talk about how to properly expose different levels of users, the appropriate skills. You'll have to pick "best of breed" apps to teach the use and pricipals of, but maybe after they get out of the class room (if that's how you choose the do it), they will branch out on their own. Oh yeah, you'll need a teaching crew, that not only knows what they are doing, but can read/write/speek in many languages.
Red Carpet Alert, which should send a user an alert. After a Red Carpet install, alerts should popup to notify users when newer versions are available.
A cron task would check the Red Carpet database and then compaire it to what is available for download. If thier was a difference, it would alert the user with a visiual notice, then go back to sleep. Users should be able to cancel the notification one of three ways. Download the newest versions, Elect Never to update current version, or put in a version tag (regexp). The version tag would allow the user to specify "notify me when XYZ app gets to version 2.5.
Mainly because I don't get to put -Rf or -vxpf or -Ufdlw behind an 'OK' button, and keystrokes are easier (when you know what they mean) than a GUI that changes the location of it's options with every new version.
I can not '$>man OkButton()', while I can 'man find', or 'man ksh', etc...
While there is little possibility that aliens have visited our planet, the god of spelling corrections has. Although one might thing that the god of spelling corrections also possess the powers of syntax and grammar checking, this responsibility must be left to one or more of the other gods. Who, you may ask, is this deity that is rude, brutal, and unbending beyond reason? I submit to you jkramer spelling Nazi extraordinaire.
Dear god,
Please accept my humble apologies and this rewrite of my previous post...
"What are the probabilities that if ETLF(s) were to visit the earth, that there is a single thing we could/should/would do about it? This argument is mute. This guy is just looking for some short lived publicity and even talks about it in the beginning of his article. His points are silly at best, and down right retarded in all cases. If I have to pick three points to prove aliens have never landed, all three that he used would be tied into one. While I appreciate the idea behind his article, it was weak, confusing, and misleading."
BTW: Why didn't you point out that I used the word 'guys' when the correct word would have been 'guy'?
P.S. I'd like to give a big SMD, to the AC who stole the first reply to jkramer. I'm just glad you had the extra time one your hands to follow that up. The investigative reporting was awesome. I was really proud of the way you went back and reviewed my previous post. Did you check out my spelling error enriched journal?
P.S.S I've never been in a spelling bea, i dont no houe to speel.

I love the idea of a roll your own solutions, but you are right about the cost involved. If you have no experience with a commercial tool, then you shouldn't even try to roll your own. I trusted my code to be in working order, QA tested the product for more than a month before it went production. Soon after they approved it, we lost 7 months worth of historical documentation. The only copy of our web content, was what was sitting on the web server the day my rolled CMS died. I have rewritten the code, but I'll never get a chance to test it. we now use a tool called CCC/Harvest. It's a great tool, but it's also more expencive then free beer.
I appreciate your point, and I understand where you are coming from. I too wish that smokers could somehow harm only themselves. I wish that banks never got robbed (burden to us all). I wish that everyone could earn a wage that would pay for their own existence (otherwise they are a burden to us all). I wish that free beer where really free (burden to me). But most of all I wish I could quit... but I can't so I'll ramble for a second.
There has to be a way for me to smoke (or something like it), and enjoy the chemical euphoria without the negative health problems. Problems that hurt you(s) more than me (it only affects me once, my SHS can affect many people).
Now that I think about it, I suspect that Phillip Morris sponsored some of the research into this lung. It could prove to be a very profitable accessory to them. I can see it now... "Get a 'new lung' when you send us 1,000,000,000 miles". I'm somewhat sorry that I affect your airspace, and try to only smoke while I'm driving my 1974 caddie (btw: if someone knows a place in north Texas that doesn't do the emissions test, I need to know where they are...)
Oh yeah, that brings up my other point. While I'm sorry about the whole "I'm f'en up your lungs" thing, can you just give the whole "your killing me" thing a rest? I obviously don't care enough to quit, and while I am genuinely concerned if my cigarettes are going to kill you, I honestly think my car will do the job first.
Pick your battles, don't f with us... we are victims too.
Love you guys... good night... I'll be here all week... unless that next pack gets me first.
"You pay us (VA) for the rights to publish iyr stories"
"You pay the relatively inexpensive costs of quarterly updates.
but the thing that really got him twisted...
you to pay the copywrite fees, to all the users who would claim ownership of thier works if CD/DVDs like that where to hit a market.
I think his point was "We've looked at it, and we are not set up to handle such a thing. If we claimed ownership of all posting, 1) we would be liable for what they say, and 2) we would owe the original owners for the copy."
I hope this clears everything up
hell no, it's not true... I would never give that punk malda my number:)
it's under BSDL right now, but wait, right now it's not... but, oh wait... now it is again... I wish those guys would make up thier... oh wait it's closed source again... oh no.. now it's ope... CRAP!!!!
Oh well, I guess you win again, you fact checking, blanket statment hater.
Slashdot Mirror
This is VERY interesting in light that we were JUST talking about it... don't you think?
what will keep AMD, or someone else, from making a overdrive type chip mod that will allow me to connect my AMD chip to an Intel MB.
But why would he need his license? he owns a radio station. and lovez clazzik rawk?!!
I say that you are not allowed to use logic and science when discussing our religion...
-God / -Voice in your head
agree. except I wouldn't say "is laughable", so much as I would say "will be laughable".

I know I'm waisting valuable page-estate, but I second that...
