Yes, he is a hebephile, and thus worthy of our respect and admiration.
The Pages were as young as 16, making hes instant messages only potentially illegal under his own SMITH-POMEROY-FOLEY CHILD OBSCENITY AND PORNOGRAPHY PREVENTION ACT (one of his personal acts of self flagelation), and illegal in the pages home state of Louisianna, but legal in DC.
Perhaps this is why he opposed Gay Marriage so strongly, so that his constant sexual harrassment of Blue Blazered Post Pubescent children (legally) would not be a cause for divorce from his long time washington lover.
Foley seemed trapped by his desire to transition to a job a lobbyist, it looks like the Republican powers that be needed his support in florida since Grahmn was retiring and Kathy is tainted by the whole election fixing thing.
That lobbying gig is fucked now, too bad scientology boy.
Huawei appears positioned to become a power in the world's networking industry -- except for one very large problem. On Jan. 23, after an eight-month investigation, Cisco launched a sweeping lawsuit against Huawei, alleging a host of intellectual-property violations and pushing for an injunction to remove certain Huawei products from the market. Huawei responds that the injunction Cisco seeks is unwarranted, and that it has already addressed Cisco's concerns. Still, the suit has derailed Huawei's expansion into the U.S. market. And it may have led Huawei to seek an alliance to bolster its presence and credibility in networking. A month after the suit, Huawei announced a global joint venture with Cisco's longtime rival, 3Com Corp. (COMS )
They send thier chipsets and engineering specs to an outside company (flextronics) just like all the other vendors. I imagine that with ISO9001 certifcation making every detail of label placement and branding a documented aspect of the manufacturing process, the details on how to build a card can fit on a USB drive, and be sent to taiwan or china for the incredible markup Cisco enjoys. I would further assume that the failure rate off the assembly line is about the same as the real production runs, its just a matter of who is going to bother QAing parts that are conterfeit.
For that matter the cards that don't meet vendor QA are a likely source of these counterfeits.
Keep in mind, the markup on flash and dram memory that is essentially identical to off the shelf memory is intense, and back when I cared about how much the crap cost, I would skimp on the gen-u-wine cisco memory or pix interface cards myself. I wouldn't want to buy a conterfeit DS3 blade though...
The scary thought is that if Chineese plants are going to slap together a counterfeit router, how hard would it be to add wiretap capability. THE YELLOW IT PERIL!!!
Depends on what kind of clearance. DOD are looking to prevent blackmailable offenses so if you ar e not nervous about having smoked some weed, no one cares. DOJ is looking to for a respect for the law as it is written, but a college or hight school misdomeanor arrest for possession is sometimes not an issue. DEA is another story, and any drug use at all (besides the legal and happyfine tobacco and alcohol) will prevent a clearance, and they press on the poly.
The networking engineer killer app. And, outlook of course, but that goes away if exchange does. And the data to columns feature in excel is sometimes better than an hours worth of | cut -d
Notice the empahsis on "Important Applications" If by imprtant applications they mean server based applications, I have to look at this as an outright lie. Anyone who would prefer to run a mission critical application on windows over linux has an MCXX in thier email signature, and has no problem with a Monthly server reboot schedule.
OSS on windows is simply a way to survive being forced to use XP at work by corporate policy or critical applications (visio, WHY), or at home by games and educational software.
One hopes that if all applications are OSS or cross platform, one day we can pull the tablecloth from under the apps and go with Linux.
The incredibly high damages assigned by this man's peeking around UNFIREWALLED SYSTEMS WITH BLANK ADMIN PASSWORDS most likely includes the cost of securing the network and systems. By contractors. This should have been done in the first place, but lets make a terrorist out of a stoned citizen of Great Britian on a dial-up. If the US fails to claim terrorist connections I will be shocked at their restraint,
How about the fact that an alien invasion force with 10s of thousands of craft capable of reaching escape velocity from earth, and dozens of gigantic invasion saucers, drops down to earth FROM space, and needs to use our satelites to coordinate thier attacks beyond line of sight?
Why not just destroy our infrastructure from space with asteroids?
Those aliens were just about the worst planners ever. Thank goodness.
Has the nature of this debate changed in the last 5 years? I find it funny that RMS who has dedicated so much for freedom is so determined to tell others how to think. It seems a bit propertarian. RMS protecting his trademarks and all that.
Sure without Linux we would be using GCC on sun boxes, but this would be known by what percentage of even the IT community? If sun didn't charge $500 for a compiler I would have used thiers instead. Probably to compile expect on TCL or some other GPL distributed application, but ignore that, it hurts my position on this rant.
What other operating systems are named after the tools that built them or the apps that run on them, even if most of thier functionality comes from them?
This is the stubborn pedantry of a tenured accademic.
Maybe since so many GNU developers were brought into the fold by a stable operating system we should have to call our compilers "Linux driven GCC compiller" or we could type "grep-reverse-engineered-from-att-code" to do global regex searches.

The end results of all the items you mention...
Clinton - orgasm Monica - Stained dress, purse business Paula Jones - Still crazy, $100,000 + conservative gifts Bill and Hill - 200,000 whitewater cash Crazy ruby ridge guy and Koresh guys - 70 dead? Bush - Millions of dollars of influence peddling as the son of the president. Cheyney - back door croniism with oil companies to ensure the oil status quo pre-war while VP, we still don't know, whats his portfolio like? Millions of dollars to terrorists who are friends and relatives of bush business partners of the bushes. Hundreds of millions of dollars to haliburton, run by Cheyney cronies. 3000 american troops dead so far. 50,000 iraqi civilians dead so far.
and the problem is key exchange. Outlook holds thier proprietary keys on the outlook server and makes the whole key exchanging thing transarent.
If open gpg were rolled out as part of thunderbird, ans a good network of key servers was set up, then there would be a good chance for this to take hold. As it is the free encryption packages are hard to understand and critical mass is not pushing the market forward. Uts a shame because gpg is perfectly mature, but even a slashdot reader feels compelled to buy pgp.
Encrypted IM needs a standard, trillian does it best, but this is incompatable with aol aim encryption, and whatever gaim might use.
Last but not least the cryptohackers need to understand tht we are not all as smart as they are, and if they spent a little more time explaining the issues instead of pontificating, things would be better.
Missles made the war a cold war instead of a "lay waste to all of Europe with a 20 year war" war.
We forget that since the formation of nation states it was customary to engage ones neighbors/enimies/idealogical opponents with the most violent tactics possible , and that for the last 60 or so we have managed to limit this to a much smaller scale. Why? because we are scared shitless.
