The major effect of this bill is that it is causing fiscal conservatives to blow gaskets. They can't accept the fact that the free market is what caused this mess.
It is funny to hear them complain about how people on Wall Street became "greedy." I'm not a financial expert but I think that is part of the design. Everyone on Wall Street works for their own self interest. That is how the invisible hand is supposed to work. But conservatives complaining about the essential 'feature' of the free market is sort of twisted.
You are a fucking retard (and an apologist), and you should die in a fire.
People are not whining about Wall Street beeing greedy (we all know it). People are complaining about those greedy fucks getting 700bil of tax payers money to cover fuckups that were caused by their greed.
Actually, his post is correct. The clock stops when the sensor is touched by that first fingertip- and Phelps clearly made it to the wall first by that measure. The camera and the electronic sensors agree on this.
And you know this because... ?
Did you ever wonder why they all touch the pad with both hands?
But you wouldn't know that, according to fucking rules, you need to press the sensor(s) with both hands, eh? That's why people complained about the lack of frame(s) which show that moment.
But sure thing, your incorrect post is at "+5, Informative".
Perfect example of "I read it on the Internet, it must be true".
Why don't you ask somebody from Poland, the Baltic States, Finland or Ukraine what they think of recent Russian actions?
Why don't you ask someone from Balkans what they think about US actions in regards of bombing sovereign nation, taking part of their country and allowing it to declare independence?
I'm not sure I understand why you think such a claim would be "tenuous." Apple makes it fairly clear in their EULA that it's not allowed to install Mac OS X on non-Apple hardware, as you know. Just to be sure though, here it is:)
If Apple EULA required users to jump off a bridge, would you do it?
1. DNS (well, UDP protocols in general) problems have been known for ages. This is nothing new, it's just new because so much drama has been created. There is a reason why certain counter-measures have already been implemented in DNS software. Never mind that noone is using them because it requires effort.
2. So much focus has been put on "phishing". I'd like someone to explain me how phishers are going to forge certificates and get sensitive info? Sure, I'll get bogus IP for the website I want to visit, but unless phishers manage to create valid certificate for gmail.com (for example), I'll get a nice warning box. Which is the same shit as what is happening now, when you go to a phishing website. Those who click "Ok" on every prompt will still get fucked, those who check errors will still not be tricked. Nothing changes.
3. Security became a joke when advisories like "Man in the middle attack allows attackers to steal Myspace passwords" started showing up on first pages of various news outlets.
I recognize Vista was a turd, but can you folks even bother educating yourself about what 7 is supposed to be before bashing it? Right now this is being advertised as performance and security increases, not "a new desktop theme," as people keep saying it. The leaked internal build shows a 40-50% memory usage decrease since Vista. In my book, that's a good thing, even as a Linux user.
Hey look, this alpha version of a program I am making uses only 2.3MB of memory when running.
Pitty that final version will probably use 100MB of memory when running.
I've been using Internet since roughly 1991. Before that I used X.25 a lot. Obviously, I make my living by working in network/internet related areas, and spend half a bloody day using Internet in one way or another.
I have never, ever, in my life, found a child porn, nor seen it.
It is pretty simple, I think. I have never looked for it, so I never found it.
If a dumb politician thinks that him looking for something and then finding it (and he was looking for nothing less than child porn) is a reason to be upset, well... I feel sorry for the people he represents.
So is firefox 3 going to crash as much on Linux as Firefox 2 has been? Its been almost as bad as Netscape 4+ were. Actually I take that back, it is worse than it was as far as stability goes. Why are we going backwards? When I use Firefox in Windows, it much more stable.
Hey, because you system/install/whatever is shit, then it means Firefox is guilty.
Never mind that there are zillion people out there who don't have Firefox on Linux crashing at all. Must be that it's Firefox, not you.
It's truely amazing that people continue to support copyright theft here. It's an indection that most Slashdotter's don't actually produce anything of value.
I produce shit, and since you seem to eat shit, it is valuable to you.
One could say that it's very popular but at my last check, PCLinuxOS was more popular. http://www.distrowatch.com/ agrees. There is a lot I do not agree with when it comes to Ubuntu and I am not surprised that it's not performing that well.
You should probably read an article first, before making an idiot out of yourself (too late for that now, though).

I really only care to know HOW the attacker got in.
Basically, if he used unknown 0-day and RH/Fedora have no idea what he exploited, then they should say so, so people can watch out.
If he stole username/password from someone dumb - say so.
If he walked into the hosting center, say so.
I REALLY want to how know he compromised their server(s).
I might be next v0v
Yes there are picture that are conclusive.
They showed them to the coach of the other swimmer and he stopped that former complaint.
Jesus, how many dumb fucking people are on this planet.
He nor his trainer didn't fill the complaint. If was done by the olympic 'comitee' of his country.
Maybe next time you should listen to what people involved say, instead of inventing shit?
Inconclusive? You could clearly see a gap between cavic's finger and the wall. Whereas phelps fingers were bent back a bit from contacting the wall.

Hacking PBXes was ok 15 years ago.
Hacking them now is pretty much guaranteed to get him caught.
Oh well...
Israelis shot foreign protestors on multiple occasions.
How is China worse than that?
(mind you, I don't like what either of them are doing, but that's another story)
China has already taken their official stance. They just don't care about the rules and don't care what other people think about it.
Reminds me of one other country, that's been acting like that for decade(s)...
PHP is shiny. Perl is not.
People like shiny things.
(and I love Perl :)
From the article: ...he didn't disclose the CA that issued it to him but it was one that was trusted in IE by default.
Hey, let's blame the SSL, and not the retarded cert authority.

Lots of anti-MS people will (after a bit of discussion) admit that XP is probably the best Windows ever.
Instead of capitalizing on that, Microsoft decides to take another route.
I am sure there are some really smart people in Microsoft, but it seems that people who are making some strategic decisions are retarded.

I'd like to order 1 copy of Ubuntu 8.4.
Thank you.
One has to wonder if this hacking attempt was government sponsored or not.
You are a retard.
Based on what fucking evidence/facts did you come to conclusion that you could even remotely involve government?
Because you're a retard and prejudicial?
Let me guess, you base your opinion about other countries by watching/reading CNN, eh?
Ok, so is it still a big monolithic kernel that we need to recompile every time we need to load a driver into kernel-space?
You're the proof that time travel is possible.

Problems with windows really aren't windows problems, they are due to clueless users.
Users are not a problem.
Problem is that Microsoft thinks they can redefine the meaning of word "capable".
Oh wait - this is Internet, so we don't need to take any responsibility for our fucking actions.
Do you people do the same shit in real-life, then sue someone because of your stupidity?
When you fuckup in real-life, you get sued. When you fuckup on the Internet, you get to sue someone else?
