This article makes pipsqueak teenagers sound like rebel leaders! I worked in a high school computer lab for 2 years. The verdict: teenagers today are just like I was; immature, restless, pains-in-the-ass. The "computer classes" were filled with little delinquents who the administration assumed were intelligent because they could remotely dump stupid messages on another kid's console. They're not out there changing the world with code, they're dropping pencils and peeking under Miss Sander's skirt; except it's not a skirt, it's some poorly defended corporate site and the pencil is a script they downloaded from wannabehacker.org
The underlying problem is the myth that the hacker community continues to perpetuate about what they represent. Writing virii only pisses people off and alienates the author. Stop posting scripts for the kiddies and help streamline the Linux kernel. Do something that'll really turn Corporate State America upside-down.
Absolutely no connection. The explicit lyrics tag is a tool to *help* parents shield their kids from adult content. The music industry and artists started screaming "censorship" because such a huge portion of the audience of affected titles are teenagers. I don't have kids, but when I have them, I'd like for stores to back up my decision not to give Little Timmy "Straight Outta Compton":)
Let me get this straight...kids who sit on their asses playing video games (like me) are just as apt to be better athletes as the kids outside running around?
I hate the way the record execs and managers screw over the musicians, but these types of services are *obviously* designed to allow for the exchange of CDs, etc. For Christ's sake, they weren't even smart enough to come up with a unique name! These guys don't stand a chance. A centralized server controlling peer-to-peer connections isn't the same as a pure peer-to-peer system. Aimster is liable. You can bitch and moan all you want about how unfair it is, but no corporation in Capitalist USA will permit this or lose in a court battle.
I've been following the ISS story in the popular media for the past few years. Here are some points I'd like to highlight for folks. Sue CNN if some of this data is wrong : )
1. The Russians held up ISS for 2 years since it took them so long to get their module completed. When it finally was, it didn't meet specs, so future missions will be needed to clean up after them.
2. The Russians used boosters the ISS nations supplied for ISS-related missions to extend the life of Mir.
3. The deal to put Tito into space was originally for a trip to Mir, not to ISS. He's Russia's problem. Let them take him up in Soyuz capsule for a few days.
4. The Russians have been in space longer, but they've been doing it far less safely and their technology is inferior. Historically, they've scored some major firsts, but their space program has only been quantitatively successful.
5. Other nations have been bankrolling the Russian contribution to ISS.
I'm really surprised that so many people are sympathetic to Tito. Sure, I'd love to hit the lottery and buy a ticket into space. But, that's not a realistic dream for now.
This is BS. I had never partitioned a drive, had no clue what IPF or IPNAT was (or anything about packet-level networking), had very little Unix environment administrator experience, and I got OpenBSD going in a snap *and* had a firewall running in a few weeks! Most of that time was spent researching networking issues! I had initially looked at Linux, but the path of least resistence as a newbie lead me to OpenBSD. Even now, when I'm trying to set up a Linux partition for dual-booting, I can't believe that anyone thinks that Linux is anywhere near as easy.
I don't know about the more advanced issues, but for a newbie, OpenBSD's web site was easiest to follow for what I was trying to do.

In related news, I released the Voice over Styrofoam-cups Protocol. Unfortunately, at this time customers may only communicate with other VoSP nodes.
