Make sure they understand what CounterStrike is. If they think it is like SuperMario Brothers and they catch you guys playing it, they might consider you guys to be "at risk" for Columbine-type behavior. I'm not trying to be funny, so make sure your school administration understands what kinds of games you guys are going to play.
Right now, driving is considered a "privilege" (If you ask me, it's pretty much a requirement nowadays), which makes it real easy for states to take away your driving "privileges" for accumulating too many points, etc... If this becomes a national ID card, what is going to happen to that "privilege" philosophy?
Humorously enough, at my college, CS was the major that everyone was allowed into and MIS was the one that required special letter writing, and recommendations from professors, etc to be admitted into that program.
Think about it. Kids have to usually pay an adult to go into a liquor store and buy them liquor. That's because alcohol is not a black market item. Now think about drugs. A drug dealer will sell drugs to anybody with the money, be it a 13 year old kid or someone of legal age. When things are legal, they can be regulated. When they are illegal, the government cannot regulate them.
Ah, I see. Corporations are helping us to reach Nirvana by not allowing us to own property. They figure if we simply license everything, we won't own it and all of us will become Zen masters with no attachment to the physical world.... and here we are, all thinking that this is some scheme to gain power and extort more money from the hapless masses. Dammit, I knew corporations had the good of humanity in mind all along.
this whole copy-protection of audio CD's is a sham. If I use my computer as a CD player (which many people at work do), I should be able to play the CD normally, and do what I want with it.
"should" is the key word here. We should be able to do whatever the hell we want in life as long as we aren't hurting other people. But look how gays were harrassed under sodomy laws years ago. "Should" isn't going to prevent our rights from being taken away. Especially by greedy corporations and corrupt government.
If you need to forward any port, use ... available for UNIX and Windows:
explanation [taken from their page]
[If] you have a firewall that does not allow telnet (23), but it does allow http (80). Set leapfrog up on the other side of the firewall to listen on port 80 and send to 23, then telnet to port 80 of the leapfrog machine and you will ricochet to the machine you wish to connect. You will have the Leapfrog machines' IP and MAC addresses. It supports unlimited users (well, limited by memory).
I hear ya. The same thing goes for everything else in the world. Just think of cars... people buy Geo Metros. No one thinks it is a really great car. It is just good enough. Think of the audio guys. They spend thousands on their stereos and speakers and cabinets, etc... I don't give a crap about all that fanciness... I just want something decent to listen to my music on. Truth is, unless you are an afficionado of a particular hobby or whatever you want to call it, "good enough" is all you want...
Do you guys really think virus writers should be punished? I hate to sound old (I'm only 23), but we've had viruses for years before the internet was as commonplace as it is now and no one cared. You just restored from backup and went on. Am I wrong here? I see jailtime for virus writers as being a little too extreme. Yes i know of the Robert Morris worm back in the day and yes, he ended up getting probation, etc, but for the most part, no one payed viruses the attention they are getting now.
So wait a second, you read things graphically? Can you remember a page of information like a picture, therefore memorizing lots of pages of information quickly?
I think more of a 60/40 or 70/30 (in RedHat's favor) is better. Windows is so prevalent that kids are bound to come in contact with it somewhere along the line. They are not too likely to come across Linux, which is why it should be more prevalent in the school. I agree though, having a percentage of Windows boxes would be a good idea.
Agreed on all points. I guess this concept of nonwords really is kind of dependent on people putting some effort towards something that doesn't immediately benefit them. Eventually "What goes around, comes around" and if eveyone uses the non-words, searches will become better. However, I'm not so sure that people are willing to put effort into something that they won't see return from right away.
You are basing this on the fact that all people are consumers and all they are searching for are goods and services. What if I am searching the web for info on the DMCA and someone's webpage was called "DMCA" -short for "David, Michael, Cathy and Andrea" (or whatever) If they find that a lot of people are coming across the page accidentally, they can lower the relevance on the page on searches for "DMCA"...

Isn't Northern Light striking a deal with the CIA and shutting down its public search engine? or was that disinformation?

Yeah, it's late in teh discussion and no one would see this if I didn't attach it to a highly moderated comment... so sue me...
GLTRON
With Linux, Win32, MacOS and OSX versions available... woohoo!

What if you move from one state to another? Will driving points remain? Come to think of it, what happens now?
What is the last version that runs on it? I have R3... will that work?

Why do worm writers stay free?
Would that be free as in beer or Free as in speech?

Whoops... Well, feed me garlic and call me stinky... boy, is my face red.
Don't forget there's another reader available that hopes to be a replacement for Outlook also.

Yeah, it's not like there's some sort of DMCA for cars.... yet.

Anyone with a car. Hah!
Ok let me stop being a wiseass. I know what you're getting at.
Comcast users will have Excite@Home supplied access for at least more
three months
more three months? what the hell?

Wasn't this covered back in Sept?
I own at least one CD on that list and it ripped just fine, so perhaps that are different versions of the CDs on the market
Yes correct. There are limited batches
