I must have been so disgusted with Unity and Gnome that I never bothered with KDE. Still, Fluxbox was the pinnacle of desktop WM tech, and it has been a flush down the toilet since then anyways.
I added some XML style brackets, oops. It said something like, "You might be surprised to find that using several layers of abstraction is relatively common in the computer world, and that your much vaunted %whatever firewall you like% probably does something very similar."
So let me sort this out, in order to easily configure iptables, shorewall is a good solution, but to configure shorewall, I will want to use webmin. So what do I need to install to configure webmin?

Then again, all of the Linux distros did the same dickhead forced UI paradigm shift thing that made Windows 8 terrible...
That's not true, not even for Ubuntu. Most if not all Linux distros give you a plethora of choices for your DE.
Use Windows if you like, but please don't assume that Linux distros are anything like what Microsoft delivers.
Choose from a plethora of either, depreciated, alpha, or poorly supported, wms. The big name wm options, namely KDE, GNOME, all went for this no taskbar shit, and dropped their old versions like rocks in a pond. At least Windows 7 is still considered production ready. If you want Linux to succeed on the desktop, don't apologize for these projects forcing a UI paradigm that people seem to not want.
Yeah, I really hate Windows 8. Then again, all of the Linux distros did the same dickhead forced UI paradigm shift thing that made Windows 8 terrible... so they are not really claiming the moral high ground.
Pro tip: it is still quite possible to get a Windows 7 machine, particularly using the Windows 8 Pro OEM downgrade rights.
I used to be a die hard Linux guy, but for me OSX has always been the nothing works problem of Linux, mixed with an expensive, arrogant, asshole, flavor. Now I use Windows 7 on the desktop. It is pretty stable, and it is wonderful to have everything more or less just work.
again, that's illegal... since 98 I think. So that isn't what happens. However, the cities do say "oh we can't possibly have more then one cable running over there or it will be a major inconvenience/eye sore"
There are still regions in my town where Comcast has a service monopoly. It is in exchange for some public access channels. Woah.
I'm not really sure who you're arguing with, but whatever you're saying has nothing to do with what I said.
I was not aware that anybody was arguing. Not everyone on the internet is an asshole. My intent was to share something interesting with you about the doctrine of first sale, and its relation to the relative convenience levels of different video rental services. If you do not care, all the power to you, and have a nice day!
I think that money is the more important factor, but yes... it is inconvenient. It is an inconvenience that you tolerate to enjoy the liberty granted by the doctrine of first sale. Until the law is changed, physical DVD will be your only option for an unlimited selection of rental movies. With streaming, first sale does not apply, rental companies must license content, and the consumer is deprived of choice. Presently, you can choose between streaming a pile of shit, or deliberately ordering good movies.
However inconvenient, when DVD by mail goes away, so does an enormous amount of selection.
Essentially, the studios allow the netflix DVD service because they have no legal right to disallow it. Some time ago it was ruled, in the US, that when you purchase a book, DVD, etc..., of a copyrighted work, that you physically own it like an object. At that point you are free to sell, rent, give away, destroy, keep, or whatever else you can legally do with an object that you own, regardless of the copyright holders exclusive distribution right. Netflix owns the DVDs, they rent them to you, movie studios can not stop it. Read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...
The FAQ says that this is only the design for the cover that will be used during on earth prototyping, and that the actual flight version of the suit will not be styled at all.
All insulting aside, the right environment would be a lab or workplace where you expect to find a Fluke meter. The way to deal with it is trademark law. For my money, this story is not about Fluke being bad, but US Customs doing an excellent job of protecting us from counterfeit products.
Trademarking a color combination and JUST that it's BS.
It is bullshit to say this is only about the color combination. The knockoff ones look exactly like Fluke devices, and it is hardly accidental. Your argument makes it seem that some good faith is involved on the part of the manufacturer of the fake Fluke meters, and that the violation is trivial, but that is simply not the case.
The cheep meters have more than a passing resemblance to Fluke ones, to the point that someone could actually pick one up and expect Fluke quality and safety, in the right environment.
While it is true that the transfers are not reversible on a whim, the bank is still liable to prove that the customer initiated the transaction, much the same as if someone appeared at the bank and withdrew cash.
This is a good point, some wire transfers are irreversible... it is exactly the purpose of the money mule scheme. To initiate a wire transfer, the customer interaction required at a bank is comparable to that which is required to withdraw cash. The secrets required to do this are much less frequently available in a computer to a hacker than say, a credit card number and CCV. If wire transfers were easy, there would be no need for a money mule.
In the case of the money mule scam, the person who initiates the wire transfer is doing so intentionally, with the proper credentials. While they are defrauded, the wire transfer is entirely legitimate, and can not be reversed.
Nobody has ever stolen my cash by making a copy of it. My cash has never been stolen from a computer hard drive. I agree, BitCoin is a bearer insturment like cash. That said, you must admit that there are striking differences, and that there is a clear and present risk involved with keeping something so easily, and irreversibly stolen, in a computer.

Openbox & fbpanel was pretty hot too.

Shorewall is a pretty good iptables configuration tool.

The original article says nothing about a rear view only camera.
The peanut butter is defective, period. It is unfit for human consumption, even the hungry are humans.

There's a certain convenience in not having a 2-3 day round trip with the postal service.
This limitation can be overcome with money, and careful queue selection.

I've had so many cheap crap multimeters die that I've lost count.
In all of this time I still have only had the Fluke 87...

The SparkFun ones look almost exactly like a Fluke product. It is not the color, it is everything.

It is distressing how many people the Therac 25 killed before the FDA finally put their foot down.
