Exactly how is SSL helping you if there's a spybot on the channel? It sees the plain-text just like you do. Or did you think CIA (or whoever it might be) is so stupid it's not able to code SSL support to their client? SSL only encrypts the traffic between clients and servers (and between servers and servers) but it's only good against evasdropping. Sure, you could use client-side certificates to only allow access to trusted clients but how practical that would be? Do you have a plan how to implement CRL system when some certificates get compromised and become not trustworthy? In far too many cases SSL only causes false sense of security (hey, it's encrypted so we're safe!) and potentially only makes it easier for bad guys to get access to supposedly-protected content since other parts of the whole security system are completely neglected thus making them easily exploitable when the most well-known one (encrypting of all raw traffic) is being taken care of by using eg. SSL.
You know what? Pollution and climate change don't respect borders. I wish they would. But it's a global issue. No nation, no matter how big and powerful, is able to work on this on their own in their little sand box. That's why you can only achieve something by international collaboration. And that's why the attitude shared by the current US government and you is an arrogant slap against other nation's faces. But you don't seem to get it, do you? Others do.
Linux cannot automatically take code from Solaris even if it was "completely open-source". Solaris must be licensed under the GPL or compliant license in order that to be possible. There are other licenses under which software is open source but despite that fact the source cannot be reused in GPL'd projects such as the Linux kernel. Remember kids, software under GPL is Open Source but Open Source software is not necessarily GPL'd.
...that any man-made alteration of the ecosystem is necessarily bad?
Ok, it's not necessarily bad but can you point some examples when it's good, please? There's plenty of counter examples. For instance you might want to ask them Aussies what do they think about rabbits and toads, those cute creatures loved by all.
At Microsoft they're not using Waterfall model but Synchronize and stabilize model to drive their software processes. In many studying materials for basics of software engineering in colleges it's also often called the Microsoft model.
We are fortunate in America to have the best health care system in the world
A funny one:) Maybe if you're filthy rich. The US of A is the only modern western country without national health care. Even Cuba beats The States hands down on this issue.
Nowhere, anymore. Back in good ol' days Second World was used to describe The USSR and industrialized countries under the Soviet sphere of influence in Eastern Europe, Middle East and Asia. I guess nowadays many of these countries can be categorized as First World countries with no doubt (Poland, Czech, The Baltic States and other new EU member countries). And some of them have been "downgraded" to be a Third World country, Vietnam for instance. Now in which slot would Russia, Albania and other less-fortunate-but-still-not-the-poorest-of-the-po or countries fit?
I bought a shoulder bag for my PowerBook from RadTech. If their backpacks are near the quality of the shoulder bag, I can warmly recommend them. They are a bit pricey, over $70, though. Premium costs.
Under what indictments? I can't see developing of proof-of-concept code is illegal. He hasn't break into any systems by writing it or let loose a worm.
This is what bugs me about installing Linux apps... the ASSLOAD of separate stuffs you have to download, configure, build/install. That's why you as a regular Linux desktop user wait until your favourite distribution starts to ship the app and do the downloading, configuring, building and installing for you.
You have to love a system that requires downtime as part of uptime. How many Linux users have this problem?
Actually I was hit by the max 497 days uptime bug of Linux 2.4 (and with a desktop machine no less). The box at work did run for about 650 days but anyway well after the mile stone of half way journey for 2nd consecutive uptime reset. Then it was time for me to change rooms. I wasn't at office that day and my co-worker just unplugged the box. Was I pissed or not? Yes I was.
do we look like stupids forcing users to have more memory to load several huge sets of similar libraries *just because* or what?
Don't like it? Don't use it. Nobody's forcing you or anyone use it. It's simple as that. But no matter what, don't bitch it if you're not willing to help. Thanks.
Hasn't anyone noticed that consoles *always* require you to put the CD in the drive to play the game? How is this any better than the PC games? Yes, most of us have notcied that you need to pop in a disc when playing with a console. But maybe it's better than the same thing with PC because CD (other optical disk) is the medium used to hold the game data? No game data, no playing. PCs have huge hard disks on which to install the data from the optical disk of dozens of games. You don't have that opportunity with consoles (ok, Xbox has hard disk but it's purpose is to act as a huge memory stick hold persistent data of the games)
It has 800x600 resolution. It has ability to run no more than 3 programs simultaneously. It's from Microsoft. What is it?
Hmm.. Let's see. I know! It's Windows 3.1!
Yes, and not to mention that the very film in which Mickey Mouse first featured, Steamboat Willie, was a parody of another contemporary movie, Steamboat Bill. See here.

This is DOA for US
You pretty much summed it up there. But it doesn't make it worthless. Works great here with my DVB-C card.
the US, being a very old civilization
Heh-eh. Very funny.
Also the BSDs.

P133 + 32MB RAM + Windows XP = fun?
If they really intend to get it standardised with IETF, two independent implementations must be available.
I guess you missed the joke. There's no such thing as data integrity in MySQL world.

BTW also the Americans elected an old drunk (well they didn't elect Bush, judges did but that's another story). And Lula rules ;) (speaking as a Finn).

For instance Osama Bin Laden of the 80's was a freedom fighter from western point of view.

SSH doesn't support UDP port forwarding. Most games use UDP.
They aren't selling 12-song devices themselves but I guess they can win by selling/licensing technology to companies that are doing that.
