Are we not ALL citizens entitled to the same constitutional protections of our inalienable rights? Why the heck is it special for journalists and why are we not all equal under the law?
I have downloaded several linux ISO's in the last few days just to see where things are at with several distros (I don't read reviews until I've actually tried the new versions).
I saw not one link. And I have had a torrent of one kind or another downloading or seeding at least once a week.
They made it impossible to play while riding as a passenger in a car. If you are going more than 4 Mph you cannot catch-em-all. I am pretty sure making it so kids cannot play while riding in the car killed their numbers.
I am sure it is to prevent idiot drivers from removing themselves from the gene pool via obtaining the coveted "Darwin Award."

Why I hate IPV6 in a nutshell.
Because I don't want to give the advertisers and data analyzers yet another way to identify me.
Unavoidable? Probably. Will I do it willingly? no.
This is the same government we trust with our healthcare data which on the black market is worth much more than verified usable credit card data?
I'm no conspiricay theorist, but as many in government have said "Let no crisis go to waste". I suspect they will use this and other examples to advocate more government control over the internet in the name of "national security". Because regulation will do so much more than hiring people who know how to properly secure a network...
It's not like we the people ever believe anything the government says anymore. The American people have been so filled with BS over the last few administrations regardless of which part is in power that we have all become jaded. If you are a republican you don't believe anything the democrats say. If are a democrat you don't believe anything the republicans say. If you are one of the aforementioned parties you have been sucked into the false dichotomy and they have you pitted against each other so they can maintain control. To quote one of the wises men ever to be quoted... "It's a big club, and you ain't in it!" -George Carlin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...
Corbettw, thank you! I have never laughed so hard.

If I recall correctly, the democrat party was still wearing pointy hats, hanging blacks, and supporting segregation well into the 60's.
It is my experience that many government employees (I used to be one, I had to get out) suffer from a chronic condition called Cerebral Rectitus. It is a chronic, and often terminal condition of having ones stuck so far up their ass they have not seen reality in years. It also has the side effect of convincing the person, after long term exposure, that their shit doesn't stink. It also a horrible affliction of those who think political blaming some how advanced their argument or assertions.
This is related to the temporary condition which I suffered from called "Cranial Rectal Inversion". This condition is curable, usually with facts, and sometimes a helpful pull from a very strong friend who recognizes you aren't usually that stupid.
(Neither of the aforementioned conditions are related to "Ocular Rectitus" another sad chronic condition, where in the eyeball of an afflicted individual is permanently attached to their rectum, giving them a shitty outlook on life. Sadly many a government worker also suffers from this condition.)
They own the network. They have told you there is no privacy on it so you have no resonable expectation for such privacy. It's their network, provided so you may perform their job function, not do personal stuff on the company dime. Get over if or find an employer willing to let you do personal stuff on their dime and network. Did I mention it's their network and they are entitled to monitor what you do with their property?
One point to consider is the content of the meetings.
I've worked at several large and small companies over the past few years, as an employee and as a contractor. One thing I've found consistent is that meetings with contractors are concise and to the point because they are paying for the contractors time. Meetings with employees only seem to drag on.
Two things are needed for a meeting to actually be productive.
1. A good boss/moderator to KEEP THINGS ON TOPIC!
2. A good boss/moderator to KEEP THINGS ON TOPIC!
If the meeting is kept on topic it will go quickly and we can all get back to work knowing the bosses new/altered expectations.
If elemet one or two are missing we all get cranky and nothing gets done.
No one here cares that our lead technician wears Raider-motif shirts to work. He's the best tech we've ever had.
Amen. I was the only tech guy at a consulting firm, doing mostly internal support. Mid-day I got called out to a client site by our CEO. Odd I though, he usually tells me about these things ahead of time so know to wear dockers and button down shirt that day. When I walked in to the clients lobby our CEO and their IT manager, in her business suit, were waiting in the lobby. She made some flip comment about paying over $100 an hour for a guy in jeans and a T-shirt. Our CEO turned to her and said, "Honey, if you can afford that fucking suit, then I'm sure your employer can afford the one person who knows how to permanently fix your problem." My first thought was, holy crap, he dropped the F-bomb on a client! Then I remembered, neither she nor her entire IT team could fix the server problem they were having. Her CEO had bypassed her and called our CEO so the company could stop loosing $5K+ per day on a server that had been crashing regularly for the last three weeks.
I walked in, plopped a memtestx86 CD in its drive, rebooted it. 10 minutes later we pulled the bad DIMM and handed them a bill for $100. Not a complicated fix, but the point is, if you can fix it and they can't, your dress doesn't matter when shit ain't workin.
Da Vinci Code's factual errors are too numerous for a rational intellectual to ignore, much less put stock in it's assumptions about anyone.
Like most who do not understand something, you appear to fill in the gaps with fantasy that suits your perception of reality.
I know you're a paranoid conspiracy theorist so I know you can't/won't believe anything that can actually be proven. It would go against your world most ingrained assumptions and destroy your perception of having and elevated status resulting from persecution by "them" (tm)
Well, if that subject didn't get your attention, nothing will.
I'm an inquisitive type. I could go either way on the whole creation/evolution thing. And actually the two aren't mutually exclusive, unless your a fundamentalist from either of the camps. If you're for complex design, who's to say it wasn't designed to evolve? hmm....
I found this collection of quotations from MANY pro-evolution scientists/believers to be quite interesting...
I'm not the smartest geek on the planet but this sounds like another run of the mill law enforcement/media tag-team.
They know we geeks are parinoid. Probably because simple psychology will tell you anyone doing something they KNOW is wrong will be paranoid. So tell the world there's a mole, make em more paranoid hoping it might slow traffic by creating discent in the ranks. If they're _REALLY_ lucky someone will crack and they might actually get in... (NOT!)
I wonder how much wired got paid to run that article?
Now that I posted to slashdot I better find my asbestos underwear and my titanium/berrilum alloy helmet to protect me from the orbital mind control lasers.

HTTPS anyone? Yes its more overhead. But privacy always costs something.
Just Great! So your telling me they're gonna put a very annoying repeating message right next to the guy with the butcher knife!?!?

Fire away oh feuding fundamentalists! I know I'm surrounded, but I've got asbestos underware on.
I didn't want to have positive karma anyway!
I'm on the kmail list and in the past 12 hours over 57 bugs have been filed against kmail alone...
I think I'll do what I usually do... wait for x.1 to be released. If that comes out too quickly I wait for x.2.
As always: Back up your data BEFORE trying new software.
Happy compiling...
Of course we should believe the FUD!!!
Google's ever expanding server farm obviously isn't and example of scalability.
