For almost 20+ years of sysadmin work and IT direction, Slackware has been my Linux choice if I needed something quick, reliable and straightforward. If I went away from MacOS on the desktop, I have no doubt I'd be running Slack there again as well. Simplicity is a great thing.
needs to be completely destroyed. All they do is push plastic (disks and artists) and sue the little guy. I hope each of the lawyers on the RIAA's side, as well as the leadership of the RIAA have THEIR lives summarily ruined somehow.
You don't have to partake of government provided water or use government provided sanitation either, but your taxes still pay for it. Likewise you don't have to ride public transportation or call the cops or firemen in case of emergency. Your taxes still pay for it.
Municipalities have always purchased what they think they need. The Coercion argument is a straw man.
We chucked Reiser4 for JFS because JFS didn't cause system loads to spike to 12 and beyond (proceeding to hang the system indefinitely).
Of course Reiser-philes told me on here we just didn't have it set up right. But then if I need o go into that bastards mind to grok how his f*ing file system works, I think I'll take a pass.
Two macs and a linux server that weren't caching and that had not tried accessing Google in the downtime. A linksys router and a Comcast modem were rebooted After I was told it was fixed. THEN I was told to reboot a second time.
Why should I have to do that, Shouldn't the linksys have cleared any caching after being powered off over a minute? The only reason I should have to reboot all machines a second time is if COMCAST did something on their end. I objected to the hoop jumping. Now, if you are prepared to tell me linksys routers cache information after a power off, I'll be very curious.
It was done once already, after being told everything was OK. Nscd does not run on my Linux box, and all DNS is handled by comcast servers. Perhaps the linksys was guilty, but one power off should fix things UNLESS comcast didn't fix something on their end.
Again, I had rebooted routers and Mac and linux machines (though I normally do not, because it is not necessary). I objected to being told to do it again.
There were many sites I tried to access during the outage. After it was supposedly fixed only Google had the issue.
I rebooted everything, including the modem and the linksys router after they told me everything was reset. Then the guy told me to reboot a second time. That's why I was annoyed.
The accusation stands. And no windows machines were involved. My linux server does not cache, and it was happening even when the linksys was bypassed.
I had a billing issue with Comcast (which was their error) and my service was all redirected to their load Comcast software page. After spending an hour or so with tech support and billing, I was told all was OK. At this point most websites worked EXCEPT google. Any attempt to go to Google redirected to comcast. If I did a ping or an nslookup of google, that too, reflected a COMCAST ip address.
I called back. The Comcast tech schmuck told me then that I needed to reboot all my machines and my router, and my linksys box to fix it. I replied that it certainly seemed to be an intentional DNS routing issue on their end, and rebooting would be kind of silly. He then told me he couldn't do anything else without me doing that, nor could he transfer me to other tech support. He further said it seemed to be a billing issue again.
I didn't have time to argue as I had to pick up someone at the airport, and the next day everything worked again. But as far as f*cking with Google access--
COMCAST ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY WILLFULLY REDIRECTS GOOGLE TRAFFIC WHEN THEY WANT TO.
I can't wait for Google to set up a new backbone with their dark fiber and totally screw Comcast.
But they were giants who, despite their flaws, preserved and protected their nation. George W. Bush is a piece of shit who has disgraced and weakened america.
But then the problem you face is societal change on the home planet with regard to the travellers-- future shock, if you will. Check out Joe Haldeman's Forever War novel. It presents the issue in a very interesting way.
better than Missing Sync, has a decent web browser and a Treo-like full thumb keyboard _and_ does Push IMAP, you're damn right I'll care. I'll order 8 the first week they are out. ( I assume the iTunes ring tones are an absolute given)
Perhaps, but consistently running server load exponentially up to the point of needing to power cycle isn't a small bug. I din't say JFS had no bugs. I said Reiser 4 sucks.

Let's see some others follow suit.
Missing Sync works pretty well. I've been managing 10 centros on leopard for quite a while with few issues.
which lead to Microsoft wanting to crush Netscape at all costs (successfully).
Of course back then Google wasn't Google as we now know it...
...Hours will have passed!
Wish I had mod points.
sensitive mods...

The WSJ article is opinion, and is leaving out the fact that the monopolies will not be broken without government interference.
How is this flamebait? The article is an opinion piece, this is a counter opinion.
By "didn't cheat on his wife" you mean "didn't rape that girl" ?

Bingo.
I'll go with the "never".

Forget browsers. Nslookup redirected google to the comcast address.

probably because they are identifying marks that might indicate familiarity with the victim, were someone to mention them.
