And they only let their 'friends' get domains, everyone is has to pay by the nose. And also these domains are things that they like, and ofcourse they have all the right to cease and void any domain (not to mention arrest anyone) that violates their silly little rules.

There, now you see what a gov owned TLD can do. I feel ZA would go the same was as MV. And no, I dont think a single person running it is a good idea either. Maybe it could go back to the universities (where ZA zones started) and be run by acadamics again instead of single man corporations spoon fed by ICANN?
On the island Gan, in the Maldives, as noted in the NASA research and AC Clarke. But, I doubt the gov of Maldives would let that happen. NASA says it might build a rig outside the 200 nautical mile zone of Maldives, but since Maldives is such a vocal environmentalist country, this might not fly too. But on a happy note, the people of Gan would welcome this, just as they welcomed the RAF base GAN in the 50's.
It's the most feasable place due to abscence of any real deadly storms and other stuff, not to mention it's on the equator.
I agree with the orginal poster, Kevin Reichard, should be removed from Internet.com, that is the only way the respect of this community would ever return to an otherwise good site.
Also, I noticed Kevin Reichard seemed to be having some really weird friends posting under his Talkback.
A certain Mike Moore posted this under the subject of "Excellent",
It takes a lot to admit this. I still dont believe astroturfing is anything to ruffle your feathers about, we all do it dont we? But I salute Kevin Reichard for taking this stance and explaining matters. This shows the maturity of Linux Today and the opensource nature of all their undertakings. Cheers
I dont believe Kevin should have been preassured into apologizing about this. As I understand this pressure came from an individual who was fired from LinuxToday. I felt that individual's articles were more revenge based than anything to expose ethics on astroturfing. Kevin is an excellent individual and his work on Linux Today is second to non. I hope everyone takes a deep breath and just think before posting anymore slashdot induced flames on Mr. Kevin Reichard
At first look this all seem to be optimistic well wishers giving their support to Richard. But if you ever visted the Borg, you might wonder why those names seem so familiar.
Well, it just so happens that Kevin has some very good friends working backstage at one of the best authorites on Austroturfing.
With friends like that who needs enemies? Now, I wonder how far deep the fangs of corporate monopoly sinks in our community....
Once everthing is in place, you can move to more secure passwords and corportation wide access to single passwords. But let me warn you, you still need different passwords on resources that are of a criticial nature.
What most people do not understand is that Kerberos should not be used for all authentication. If you are root level user, then you should never use such authentication. And you should also ensure that any critical systems do not accept such autentication. Kerberos is great for the masses, it's nicely done, but it's not a full replacement for all your password vows.
Agenda claims it weighs 4.4 ounces with batteries, but it definitely feels heavier than the m105.
The Review, which is more like a rant comes into better focus and you realize the whole thing was as unprofessional as it sounded on the front page. Mabe this guy is ticked off at Linux for some reason, but why is he using the devel Agenda and reporting bugs that have already been reported about the devel version? A reviewer needs to have some sort of knowlege before reviewing something like this.
On OT III, the individual finds "body thetans" by locating any sensation of pressure or mass in his or her body. This is addressed "telepathically" as a cluster, and taken through the cluster-making incident of 75 million years ago. Once this is done, the individual body thetans should be available to be taken through either the same incident or through incident one. (...) According to OT III, everyone on Earth is in fact a collection of such clusters (Hubbard says that each person doing OT III will find "hundreds" of body thetans - many victims of this course believe that they find millions).

In light of that, he seem to want only praises about his software from newbies. What's his audience?
By alienating users, you would never get anyone to support your projects.
1. Your comments towards Debian are totally unnecessary.
2. Your main auidence are the newbies. There is no need to say all that crap to them.
3. Attitudes need to be restricted. Ego's need to be --purged. No one will help develop your software if your at the lead of that team. I know I would never want to join your team.
You can also get Aleph One from the Author's mainsite. There are some screenshots there as well. Also included are datafiles that are necessary to get the game running.
Scientists at an undisclosed facility in New Jersey, were able to successfuly clown spiders with goat tits. These spiders could be mass produced and due to their small sized, easily shipped to people in need of milk. Also in news, salvation army has laid off 90% of their workers, in order to generate enough money to buy the patents to this process and the genes of the booby spider.

I'm working on a new UI written in objC and built around OpenGL, IBM Via Voice and touch input. I've been a fan of you and the MacOS for quite sometime. Our software is now mature enough to be opened to the public (It's an opensource project, but due to the nature of the project, we saw that it would be best that we worked on it silently till it matured towards version 1.0). Right now we have been able to built the server/client application on Linux, SGI and Digital Unix archs.
We have 2 developes and 5 artists/designers. The team came from various backgrounds (including game development (and a very dead famous game company), sgi and yes microsoft).
Our solution to the problem of UI was to forget everthing that we saw in other UI's out there. We even forgot what we saw in futuristic UI's (often seen in SciFi and so on).
The use of an UI should be intutive enough for a child of say age 3, to be able to play around and navigate with ease. Our design relies around the way humans see things in general. The whole interface is a 3d window into a virtual space (which we call home for a lack of a better term), where you interact with objects such as pens and paper to write.
Now the input to the UI could be done via touch (touch screen), mouse, keyboard and voice. One of us worked real hard on the Via voice engine and got it working well enough with a unqiue set of gramatical markup language that lets us navigate the UI with ease.
For example, one of the applications we have is something called Achilles. Achilles is our human interface to a number of other transports (Eg: E-mail, News, Jabber (yes it works very well with jabber), IRC and even slashdot). Achilles interface is represented virtually by an Avatar (by default called Vishnu). A realistic human type avatar. Say you get a mail, Vishnu would call out for you, and when you aproach him, he'd open his hand and show you the scroll, that's how the e-mail goes, and a number of things are also send through the voice transcoder to be read out through the speakers intead of been shown.
Now that's how some of our applications are. But we seem to have stumbled on a problem that we cant seem to get away from. Vishnu is very bright and nice, but everytime we present it to a test user, they almost always reverts Vishnu to an alternative text input interface. And read mail as they did with their other applications. But when we presented the same applications to a child, they immeditaly used the highest form of non abstraction (ie. Voice + Realitistically animated character).
Now our question to you is. Is there a problem with the way we visualize UI's ? Is this derived from how we've seen UI's in the past? What would it take to break people from the usual Windows/Mac UI habits?
Attaching a beetle with a good wire and then pushing it off the edge of the bridge doesnt seem to be very technical. I would have hoped that they would have done something more creative (what they did, any hick with a truck and an empty beetle shell could have pulled).
Imagine for instance if they suspended the beetle with match sticks (assume they figure out the tensile strenths involved), or more realistically if they used wire made out of spider webs (I think this might just be the right material). I would highly be impressed and it would definetly be worth the trouble of hanging the car there and causing all the traffic mishaps. Maybe the might even win an award?
Not so long ago/. featured a story where scientists found out that certain neurons fire in human brains that mirror the action taking place on tv or right in front of them. For example if someone is having his hand sliced, the person watching registers the same effects as if he himself is being sliced. These mirror neurons lead to the conclusion that what you see on TV would indeed effect you, violence or sex or whatever the taboo is. It would have the effect and thus induce (in some people) similar resoponces as seen in columbine.
Enjoy!
All these boards look fine to me. But what is more apperent now is that SMP is truly a dead end when it comes to multi processor systems. Intel has bled it to the last drop and others such has Sun and IBM have taken SMP to new bounds that are still not matched in the PC industry.
But, right now we are heading in the direction of massively parallel comuputing done using non SMP meothods. Good clustering practices has made SMP nearly obsolete. Mix that with the non ability for non intel vendors to come up with a motherboards for non-intel CPU's on the PC market, I feel that the end of SMP has been well written in concreate and hardended.
Mix that with good software such as Mosix which lets you parallel process any software without specfically having to compile the software into a traditonal beowulf type messging system (PVM/MPI), we are now on the verge of having home grown Cray system in every basement.
The more we come closer to a centralized control, the more we have to fear about these falling into the hands of the evil and vile.
Now imagine if there arises a new Hitler type character, and this person wishes to take over the world. What does he do first? He'd shoot down those GPS satellites.
And that would stop UK. UK would grind to a halt. The whole infrastructure would crumble. And he could just walk into the country and take it over it would be that simple.
We should never centralize things such as this. I think this issue would a bigger issue than the big brother aspect of the whole thing.
and reiserfs is in it. It came out today. I've been having a stable reiserfs system since the pre kernels of 2.4.1. This is an extreemly good kernel and i recommend migration to reiserfs. at once.
