At my school (some of) the text books often times have an advertisement for turnitin.com on the backs of the books (composition class text books). This lets you know day one that the teachers are aware of this service - and makes you aware such a thing exists too.
Problem is however I once was looking up something on the Windows 2000 architecture and noticed a site had the same word for word definition of "kernel" as my book. So I googled the exact phrase.
Seems there were 100+ sites using the same exact definition. Well, by looking at the pages I noticed they all had the same author. Basically the page was on 100+ free hosts (and a few paid hosts).
Well, I wondered who copied it first. Was the book the original or the website? After further investigation I found out our books are made in India. Likely it was the same person writing the book and decided to make a web page out of his work. Then I stumbled across someone who claimed to work for the company writing the books and he said the deadline for the books is 20 days!
You must write a book on Cisco routers in 20 days too! Well, Sybex should sue the book writers because they not only stole text but diagrams right from their CCNA texts. Our Novell Netware book said that ARP was responsible for name-to-ip address resolution too!
Extra mod points to the person who can guess which crappy school I'm stuck at...
He hates the Saudi Royal family. They have more money and power than God and that angers him.
To Osama they have all the cards. With a friend of theirs in the White House he knew that he couldn't shake them. But let's get something straight. Osama isn't against them because they are secular, it is because he can't stop them. The Saudi's are worse than the Taliban because we literally look the other way when they act secular and execute people in the name of Islam. His beef with them is deep. They invited us to stay. They treat their people like crap. I know this is hard to believe but humanitarian efforts are one of the key aspects of Islam (as well as fair treatment of animals and the like).
It isn't Israel. It has nothing to do with them, its all the actions of the Saudi's alone. His family is very close to the Royals and they don't use their influence to better their nation either. They are all in it for the money. Bin ladin doesn't seem to be in it for the money however. His goals are much higher.
I know it's lame (see my nick) - but here goes:
the Party was invincible. It would always exist, and it would always be the same. You could only rebel against it by secret disobedience or, at most, by isolated acts of violence such as killing somebody or blowing something up. 1984, Chapter 5
What do you do if your biggest enemies are unstoppable? Anything. Its the same reason McVeigh did it, it's the same reason the IRA does it. Their enemies are too big to simply fight against them in the traditional sense. I'm not saying that Osama is completely sane, or that he is noble in his efforts. But you must understand where these thoughts and actions come from. It comes from a lack of control. He can't do anything - the IRA can't, McVeigh couldn't. When faced with a Goliath you may only be able to sling a stone, hopefully you hit him good. Osama did just that.
One mans barbarian is another mans freedom fighter.
Personally, I'm afraid to fly. Yes, I know it's unjustified, but that is the deal with most peoples fears - they are irrational.
Sometime in my life however I'll have to fly. Honeymoon, business, something will take me in the air. But another problem I have is rage. (think Punch Drunk Love) I'm Bi-Polar, and a liberal. Enough to blacklist me from any flight.
Now, I'm not saying that I would, but I think I know what I'd want to do if this happened to me. If I had to fight with the government, especially because I did nothing, I'd want to go crazy. Not just cursing Tom Ridge out crazy either. I'm talking hijacking, shooting Homeland Security employees, and homicidal mania crazy. When faced with a huge obstacle like that many people will get just as mad as I would.
What would you do? Would you ask yourself what would Jesus have done or would you get medieval on their asses?
My point? This system will make someone so mad that they will want to take revenge and hurt a lot of people in the process. People who don't have control have nothing to lose. It is that simple - people will not stick up for this "saftey" crap any longer when it stops them from seeing a dying relative or getting their job done. (BTW, why do terrorists, of any type, use terror? It is their last resort. 1984, chapter 5: the Party was invincible.... You could only rebel against it by secret disobedience or, at most, by isolated acts of violence such as killing somebody or blowing something up.)
The worst thing is that if we get four more years of Bush he'll push this system off on trains and busses too. Next thing you'll know you won't be allowed on the highway if you didn't get a doctors check-up in the last six months.
The problem that some Christians have with D&D is that a portion of the game involves Pagan Gods and Goddesses. In the case of some classes (ex. Cleric) it involves *praying* to the God/Goddess for spells.
Can you please point out one Christian holiday that wasn't taked from pagan beliefs?
Ishtar, Imhotep, Dionysus, all taken and put into their religion and holidays.
Real Player for linux is pretty pathetic compared to Xine et. al. but then again none handle Real Media like Real Player does. Go figure.
If there was a real RealPlayer 10 for linux, like the Windows version, I'd be happy.
In fact, I've always shunned Real Player, even for Windows. At first they were in a class to their own but then were stale. As they've fought against Microsoft and Apple, I've come back.
At least they offer a Linux version though. They could just say "tough crackers".
Remember when Quake hit the shelves? It was being hailed as a jump in FPS, and IMHO took PC's to the next level. Soon however there were a million Quake clones it seemed.
Most were licensed by id. There were problems because their servers were supposedly hacked before they could license the game engine out to other developers. No matter, id licensed the Quake engine out to many companies. Many games were fighting against Quake yet they were using Quake's engine. Next everyone else got into the market - making their own engines.
This is what I hope happens with Doom III. In 6 months I want to see screen shots of other games using this engine. I love the game, it is pretty awesome, but wait till other artists get their hands on it. Competition always keeps things spicy.
I do however need something to watch or listen to from time to time. I've always listened to Air America Radio with it. I just moved into a new place and can't really afford cable television right now. However for less than 20 bucks a month I do get a whole bunch of media and get it on demand. (SuperPass, however I'm on the trial now)
I watched the Convention with it, listen to Jazz with it - all with "Tivo" like control. Right now I'm listening to Al Franken and listening to it from 30 minutes ago. A feature many streaming audio clients don't support.
If I can use the Helix DRM module I'll use it. Sure, DRM is scarry for a lot of people. But when it allows me to download 100 movies from Starz! a month for just $14... that is cool. (Live streams of Starz! also) Also I hate being forced into Windows. Just don't force me to run the DRM features as root, we're cool.
VoIP from the cable company? Nah... TVoIP from the phone company.
With 3Mb/s from the phone company for $45 a month you can get all of your "living room" needs from your computer.

Big planets help out the inner planets by keeping collisions down.
Think of Jovian planets as switches, routers and other Layer-2 and above network hardware. They break up collision domains.
Ha...
(funny to me ok!)
It isn't this kind of money I bet.
Well, "acting" secular while preaching Islam is what I mean.
With the money they have they are on the verge of idol worship.
Only does the Royals act "Islamic" when it is demanded or when it's convenient.

Beat me to it. I guess I'll have to stay on Slashdot 24/7 again.
Thankyou, very useful...
that is all...

Imagine you are trying to fly to Tucson to see your daughter get married. Some guy won't let you on the plane even though you've never hurt anyone in your life. Likely the cause would be a bill you didn't pay in 1972.
What would you do? Would you ask yourself what would Jesus have done or would you get medieval on their asses?

I noticed after a huge post they offered it to me.
Size does matter!
Yeah, could you go deeper into that?
(and someone mod the parent as informative or something)
Got plans/schematics/link to an actual article?
Can you please point out one Christian holiday that wasn't taked from pagan beliefs?
Ishtar, Imhotep, Dionysus, all taken and put into their religion and holidays.
Read here here, or here?
Really, who doesn't know this stuff here?
When I read this, at wikipedia, I did a little of both.
Get a blogger account, that is how I got mine.
I'm aware of the other options, and most I like.

Hey, first thing I do on any new system is play Quake I.
If GL quake runs awsome, Quake II and the rest, I'll stamp it with my approval.
Most were licensed by id. There were problems because their servers were supposedly hacked before they could license the game engine out to other developers. No matter, id licensed the Quake engine out to many companies. Many games were fighting against Quake yet they were using Quake's engine. Next everyone else got into the market - making their own engines.

Doom mods will be nice, but new games will rock.
Sorry, my SQL server seems to be down, try this google cache of the page... it will show the pictures.
Windows of course Google cache
Just look at Diebold, they are going to create electronic voting machines but they can't even keep their ATM machines operational.
At least there will be music to play with when they crash.
People Like Me [tm] who have convinced our significant others that broadband is more important than cable or satellite television!
I'm quite happy with Real Player.
I do however need something to watch or listen to from time to time. I've always listened to Air America Radio with it.

Ok, I'm a "layman" for this role...
Problem, I have no x-ray device.
Shows what my schools knows: there are XP home stickers on every dell machine with serials.
Problem is they all have windows 2000 on them.
I'd tell you the school but then you'd laugh at me so I'll let you wonder.
Yeah, Orrin wants to make Schwarzenegger prez!
He wants it to be legal for foreign borns to be prez.
I'm liberal and progressive and all - but I'm still an American.
If we can't find someone born here to be the President then that is just sad. Nader would have a chance then though.
