"That's why a false sense of security is worse than no security."
I couldn't agree more, and I don't think I was in any way picking on that specific detail.
I do a little programming myself, and I'm not so dumb that I think, that anything is completely secure. I don't know ANYONE who does. The kind of people, who think that something can be completely secure are probably 10% dumber than a plywood door placed in a hole in the ground, and as such wouldn't know a mouse from an accellerator, and they wouldn't be using a computer in the first place.
"Perhaps we should praise the brilliant inventors of nuclear weapons, since those weapons have apparently halted the practice of 'world war'. Peace is a good thing, right?"
We only have relative peace. Here are some wars (just off the top of my head) conducted after 1946:
Korea.
Vietnam.
6 day war (Israel vs Egypt[or arabic countries])
The Gulf War.
The Balkans.
Pakistan vs India.
Tchechnia.
Tens of civil wars in Africa.
IRA vs Great Britain
Afghanistan.
Or did you mean wars that took place in the US?
Just because they aren't fighting in your backyard, doesn't mean they aren't fighting.
Peace is a good thing, but don't think for a moment, that we have a global peace.
"Even if no users other than root should ever be able to log in to the firewall, there is a reason to carefully set file permissions:"
According to the response, the only files with "wrong"/"insecure" permissions are the sym-links. Granted, I'm the n00bs n00b in unix, but if your symlink points to something with different permissions, aren't the permissions of the ACTUAL file the ones used? If so, then the quoted "gripe" is a bit mute with regards to this product, wouldn't you say?
"And then make sure you pass the "what is your zip code" test that so many girls fail.;)"
Hmm... let's see:
1) I'm a guy... at least I have male genitalias.
2) I've lived in this city for five months now.
3) I can't remember the zip-code.
4) I can't remember my home phone number.
5) I can't remember my cell phone number.
6) I can't remember my mothers maiden name.
7) I can't remember my mothers birthday (I can remember my fathers though)
8) I don't know my birth sign (I think I'm a Leo. April 13 is Leo, right?).
By informing people, that several of the 19 hijackers were actually known terrorists by various US "intelligence" agencies, and that they were all using completely valid and correct IDs, you will be working against the Homeland Security Agency (or whatever they call it) - and we all heard G. W. Bush say "if you aren't with us, you're against us", which means that you are now a terrorist. Good luck.
Oh by the way. The US now wants to decide how MY country designs it's passports. They want fingerprints and iris scans in the passports, because it will make it easier to identify people. Well - I guess you know what to look forward to on your new national IDs.
How about the small Redmond company? Maybe we could arrange a meeting between the MPAA, the RIAA, all the corrupt politicians etc. at MS HQ at the time of impact?
"If all musicians were just in it for the money, then the charts would be full of lowest-common-denominator bland whiney teenage well-groomed all-style-no- substance pap."
Your point being, that all musicians ARE just in it for the money?
Well then - if they all say it's so, then it must be so. Haven't you heard of revisionist science and democratic rules with regards to the physical world?
Granted, it wasn't released in the US until January 20, but technically it's a 2000-movie, not a 2001-movie and thus shouldn't be competing for best 2001-picture against LotR:-)

The "large" fines are usually around a few million dollars to maybe 10 million dollars.
A fine of 1 million dollar per DAY they'd knowingly poisoned the environment with this stuff might be a starting point, as they'd know since the late 30's.
And that's just starting money. They also have to pay for the clean-up etc.
"But that'll ruin the bussiness!" - tough fucking luck!

I continue to be amazed at the stupidity/ineptness of people.
Thankfully you don't get to decide. Neither do I. Yo' mama doesn't get to decide either. We all get to decide; if you're an expert or lunatic doesn't matter.
You think The Godfather is a good movie (as do quite alot of people), I gave it a four. You think Dr. Stangelove is a good movie, I gave it a seven. You don't think LotR is as good as those two movies, I gave it a ten.
If people don't hand out ones, twos or threes, then how come Manos, the Hands of Fate (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0060666) has an average of 1.5 and with 87 percent of the votes being three or less?
IMDB has the same flaw as elections. The "experts" have no more say than the morons. This is part of the explaination, that Bush is the president of the US and not someone like Ralph Nader.
Like it or not - you don't have anymore say in this than anyone else. Life's a beach and then you drown.
Or the penguins are the reason there are no polar bears on the southern hemisphere (well, apart from zoos obviously, which also applies to the penguins).
But I'm quite sure the real answer is somehing in the neighbourhood of.. say... evolution.
I think the episode said something to the extent of:
"If I want to look for the breast cancer gene in MY body, I have to pay THEM money, no matter how I look for it."
The reason I asked, was because I was under the impression that FreeBSD was strictly x86 (which the PowerPC obviously isn't), and that NetBSD was the extremely portable BSD.

Then what if you make your name a trademark?
i.e.
Martin Eddy Schou (TM) (which is my ugly true name).
Would that be possible?
