If you ever take a look at the patched code for one of these security advisories, you mainly see some special case code stuck in there to patch up the problem. You never see a reconsideration of the problem. I wonder how long it takes to go from a release version through patch after patch until a piece of code is just old and crufty and in need of wholesale replacement.
They can use the computer to learn about farming techniques, sources of water, well-digging techniques, water purification techniques, and if they find their way to porn sites they just may be able to stem the out of control population growth by learning to masturbate instead of procreation.
It is important that the right to subpoena is upheld and protected by both the Courts and Congress. Without it, the courts become helpless and powerless.
It is just as important to be able to subpoena customer information as it is to be able to demand information through the FOIA, just as it is to be able to demand that the government be accountable. It is important that citizens be able to demand satisfaction from those who violate the law and injure them.
This does not mean that one condones the RIAA's zeal in taking a machete to pirates. This must not be seen as the same issue.
Don't waste your time doing this kind of thing yourself. The final storage system will end up being cheaper and likely more robust if you go with an off the shelf solution.
Companies specialize in building these types of systems all the time. Hire one of them to help you set up. If you have that much data and expect it to grow at a faster rate into the future, don't bet on your own rinky dink implementation, get a professional.
Get a degree that will actually make you money. An MBA would be a good choice.
Then play with computers in your spare time.
You will have more money, more time to spend on your hobby, and you won't get burned out on technology because of idiotic managers and other riff raff dictating to you.
You will be the idiotic manager. And much happier for being it.
It is certainly good to have some measure of privacy. But when you are broadcasting, it is important to know to whom it is that you are talking to.
If I can't verify your identity, then the whole system falls apart and you are left with the mess that CB is. The more difficult you make getting the information, the more likely I'm going to just forget the whole deal, and then we all lose out.
Take a look at Kuro5hin for a system that is completely open. Every user must have a login ID and every moderation is completely visible to anyone interested. It takes a very concerted effort to destroy that system (and there are folks trying). Then take a look at Slashdot. ACs can post with impunity, moderators are answerable to no one, and the editors hide behind their cloak of anonymity and use their powers to silence people left and right.
Kuro5hin is known as a place where people can actually discuss things in a rational and intellectually stimulating manner. Slashdot is a place where people come to troll.
The 10Q is known as the Chicken Little of financial documents precisely because of the warnings it lists in the forward looking statements.
It wouldn't be too far fetched to see something like "In the event that a terrorist attack destroyed the databases containing proof of our IP claims, it is possible that we may not be able to meet our cash flow expectations"
I found the manpages quite difficult to use because sometimes I don't know what an API is called, so I would have to do a grep on the entire doc tree. Samples are great, but again, I can't usually hyperlink from the sample to the actual documentation.
Then the problem becomes one of deciding whether to go with the KDE or Gnome APIs. I may be mistaken, but these two API sets do not seem compatible. Thus any program I write for one WM may not be compatible with someone else's machine. I'm not willing to ask someone to reload their WM just to facilitate my programs.
So that brings me back ontopic to the Abiword question. Will Abiword run outside of Gnome?
On another note, I've been trying to pick up some Linux programming in my spare time and am completely confused. I come from a Win/Apple background where the system APIs are fairly straightforward and well documented. In contrast, Linux APIs are pretty much non-existent.
I assume that the standard C library exists, but once I try to do any windowing, I am faced with half-documented APIs from a multitude of sources. Gnome, KDE, etc., it's all very confusing. The worst part of it all is that the documentation is virtually nonexistent. Sure, there are blurbs here and there, but you'd be lucky to find a documentation system that links together related APIs, clearly enumerates all parameters and their meanings, and displays the data in a readable manner.
It makes me wonder how anyone gets anything done with this proramming environment.

it was like watching your dog get hit by a car as he returned from the pound.
Wow. That brought back some bad memories.
GET BACK TO WORK YOU LAZY ENGINEERS!
*caps is like yelling so you have to offset it with lowercase text*
How about a little less racism on this site, folks?
What are these guys selling?
Are they running things on your servers?
Are they running your servers?
Did you hire them to do this?

And then life goes on.
They are appallingly low.
What are the legalities of treating a salaried employee as an hourly wage earner?
Fucking up the scenery, breaking my mind.
Buy this, don't buy that. Can't you read the signs.
Or something like that...

I made the switch after that Physics course that required Fortran. I haven't used Fortran since, and I haven't looked back.
I learned Emacs in that course as well. I haven't used that since, either.
I'm glad it was the Union of Concerned Scientists and not the Association of Technically Trained Busybodies doing this research.
20 C++ faster than Fortran
No conspiracy here. Microsoft does what it does best: spot talent and buy it.
Your GF is obviously exaggerating. Blue haired girls have given way to pink haired girls.
In Japan they pass out Broadband modems on the street for free.
And connections are 8-12Mbps at the low end.

They have lax laws. This is not a flame of Canadians, just a realization of the truth.
If this were the U.S., those bank managers would be dragged over the hot coals of the Press and fed live to the wild dogs of Congress.
Lax laws are what make Canada a great country.
