actually they didnt use GPG, they used PGP. but more importantly they also used face to face after they realized their sat phones and encryption was being eavesdropped on
I feel just as safe as i always did. spying is not always the answer, and outside of complete 1984, its impossible to spy on everything which would be required to find out about the plots.
I personally dont see an ethical implication. Id be more worried about researchers outside the US doing something than acedamia world. WHen the US prevents research here, it will move elsewhere. but youd did have a point, the ramifications should be explored BEFORE banning said research
i think the NSA/CIA should do a better job in the first place so we dont have to play cleanup. they should be preventive, its no secret other people deeply hate the US, this will alwas exist, but when we screw around with their lives for the sake of "democracy" (or whatever rhetoric they used for overthrowing govts)
actaully that didnt put them ahead of linux, the fact that they had software out a decade earlier helped a lot. Right hardware, what is that about? linux is a lot younger than that. and most active development in the last 2 years
the interface is quite similar though, atleast i like it to be. but with windows thats what you get, whereas linux you hae the choice, windows you somewhat do, but problems arise
unfortunately there is a problem with knowing if you could win. Do you realize the unholy army lawyers youd need. The concentrated evil would be frightening, we're talking truly vicious people and thousands of them to win
actually the FFA would be better, since they were negligent in saying knives are allowed on the plain. But yes those airlines could be at fault for being complete morons about a lot of stuff. just like any other company that ignores reality.
i dont disagree, except that the US can convince a company in a different country just as easily as a US based one. The NSA has always kept quiet about crypto exports. The FBI is constantly bitching about it. My guess is that the NSA has the tech to break, but the majority of peopl'e encrypted messages are not of concern.
Also opensource doesnt prevent someone from putting a back door in, example: A company puts a back door into its XYZ program, sells it to china. china wants the source code. the company sends them the none backdoored code
trusting the US is not the same as trusting Microsoft and viceversa. Microsoft and the US is not one entity (okay sometimes they seem it). The Black Chamber convinced international telecoms/telegraph services to secretly copy certain messages in the early 1900's, could they do the same now? now the NSA/3 letter acronym could just as easily "convince" a company in ANY country to bend over for them now a days, even more so today, "they were a front for terrorism?"
Apple used to do well in schools, thats been declining and miscrosoft already has a stranglehold on that. a few faithful teachers still want the macs, but thats down the drain
your a flat out idiot if you fall for it. come on, if i do investment im gonna make sure it is reliable first. paypal, it may be reliable now but thats no gaurantee, like the other guy said, that little FDIC sticker means something
he never said that america was the best. Typical illerate response. he was stating experiences in america, and comparing americas network. he said it was extrodinary, never bashing europes or anything of the sort. Arogant america, wrong, arogant troll who needs to stop bashing america (atleast when its unfounded, fair game when it is founded)
these companies seriosuely need to release a licensed copy of their software for personal use, with explicit uses such as, you can mess around with it. a lot of them have student licenses, but not everyones a student. Id gladly pay $50 or so for a copy of 3dstudio max or lightwave. I cannot afford to spend more money on a single piece of software then my car is worth. I have old outdated versions of a lot of that, all non legal copies unfortunately, because the company is getting zero instead of atleast a nominal fee, which i always felt bad about
very good point, its not actually spam that increased that much, although that did too, its "junk" email that the reciever doesnt care about.
Ive been using an opt in filtering rule set up in evolution,
all is checked for addresses in my address book, i have different rules for my work accoutn personal and school. Any mail that doesnt match a known address is tossed into an unsorted folder. Its pretty effective, except that evolution doesnt bother to remove known addressed emails from the unsorted, it makes a copy of it and puts it in the right folder, but it still is unsorted.
your 100% accurate, i run "unstable" and yes it usually takes a week, 2 at the very most for the newest releases. And with only a few exceptions everything runs perfectly. If there is a problem, its usually fixed by the next release, a day or so. Ive only had one major problem with a non xinerama dual head display and kde 2.2, but i switched on xinerama and its fine for now until it is fixed up. Not a big deal. People that critisize debian for being out of date are usually out of touch. The stable release doesnt have the latest and greatest, but its STABLE and secure. If you want a server, run debian. If you want a desktop, unstable will provide you nicely with every new release of kde, gnome, xfree86, and nearly all common desktop programs
yahoo.com had this problem, it doesnt matter if you firewall it off.
because guess what, if all the bandwidth before the firewall is congested, the firewall keeps blocking it, but the pipe is still full

just use a BOOTABLE cd in the first place, that makes it more difficult

"I would join in, but don't feel like being"
well that sums up the current state of laziness in the US, not that im doing much either

very good point, he chose the wrong concept to pick on. its not bad to integrate the two, konq works great. its the implementation of it

who exactly does he have to assure of quality? He never made any promises that linux is more secure, unlike certain companies.
good post, except that number 3, that was done for satire. i doubt microsoft is doing it to mock other people
obviousely since you dont know anyone that does, there must not be anyone then.

holy shit he's dead?, wow i never knew that, considering it happened a decade ago. minus ten stating the obvious. btw i take that as a compliment
try READING a history book, hitler was a dictator once in power, so was stalin, mao and polpot.
Castro doesnt have anything to do with mass murder, same with lenin (well except for the revolution, but thats a different issue).
the only thing those three had to do with communism is that their economy was communist.
anyone can say they are something, doesnt make it so. stalin was about as much of a communist (outside of economics) as i am an olympic runner

there is a name attached to this so i dont know what to think its not some anonymous loser.
whats worse is that people actually believe the communist rhetoric the US shoved down eveeryones throats.
As abbie hoffman would say:
"If someone asks me if im communist or jewish, i will say yes if i know it will make them mad"
If someone gets all upset about something being communist/evil/whatever i will get it just to spite that person

that can always be taken care of with a "video clarifier"
Does anyone know if that affects quality though?

try reading, left to right, my car is worth $2000-3000, most good software, atleast that
