He's very anti-bush, I wonder if some one with a little power thought this would be funny. I'm sure the bush ppl wouldn't mind inconviencing one of the most recognizable Democratic senators in the country.
of course, if that's true then only Micheal Moore would have a harder time getting OFF the list...or heaven forbid... an actual terrorist
That's the whole point my friend, if you want your search engine to be available to the couple billion ppl in china then you are going to have to censor it. You can take the high road if you want, but china will just block your site. I doubt google liked the idea....
Currently I run crux, this is a nice alternative to the bloated distros out there. It's a "build what you want" (aside from the 'base' and 'opt' packages). Personally I gave up on RedHate about 2 years ago, it's way too bloated and slow. I run crux with xfce4, it's light and fast, on my 500mhz laptop that does make a difference, especially when you are trying to get something done while compiling firefox:).
Seriosly, you need more space to build a fluid, friendly OS / windowmanager, but you don't need bloat.
I like having a nice core set of tools, I don't need three gui calculators and 5 CD playing utilities. There is a lot of bloat, and it's not doing anyone much good.
what's a marathon without the extended edition? You wimps gonna try it with the theatrical versions? Bah! I'm waiting for the motherload, this november it'll be me and my friends, a minifridge, 3 extended editions, and one very long day...
Maybe I am remembering wrong, but I think old ATMs used to have slightly different tones for the different buttons, which is dumb, but sounds like something some engineer would do without thinking.
This also got me thinking, I used to have an old MAC IIe, when you selected menu items (from that top mac tool bar) different pitches were emitted from the pc, they were quiet and possible actually created from the guns in the tube itself, but this type of thing could be used to figure out what ppl are doing... idontevenknow....
I looked through the article, it doesn't look like much more than a slightly sophisticated wget for loop:). Seriously though, this seems similar to a few other basic stress testers out there. For the projects I've worked on you need session management, interactive processes,... basically hitting 5 urls isn't gonna stress test anything of value. The Grinder on the other hand, allows for distributed workers, following the same or different 'scripts' all controlled from a single console. It provides you with a slew of configuration options and all sorts of data at your fingertips.
The scripts are jython which is easy to learn and very flexible. If you want to stress test a complex app, especially something interactive, or requiring sessions, check out the grinder, it's a god send.
Don't go near that site!!

Some one at work clicked one of those links (it throws a link in your profile) and her machine was infected. It altered her ie's homepage, and it made it constantly write the page it was viewing to some temp dir. It also installed about 5 other progs. We tried to remove it, first with windows... no good it reinstalled itself,. Then we tried the uninstaller, well that got some of it, but there were still a good few side affects.
MY DEAR LORD!! stay away from these sleezballs, they make bonzia buddy look like a good idea. If anyone is deserving of a serious slashdotting it is them.
I think you have a good point. But I also think this is somewhat analagous to VHS vs. DVD. It might take a while, but ppl will start to use it, and companies will start to support it. The geek segment is the biggest market segment for most of the high end mp3 stuff, if they hear ogg being talked about, and it's not too hard to do, they'll include it. Some manufacturers already do. I do agree it gets old to keep hearing ppl moan about it though.
It's a little less elligent, but I use an independent monitor. Scripts running on a site that is hosted independently monitor the availability of my network. When there is a problem they just send emails to the phones that need alerting (basic sms messages). All the phone companies that I have tried support sms via email.
You could just get a dial up from juno or something and do that. It's easier to just have sms messages sent to a cell than carry multiple gadgets.

Ms. Frank, the MTV executive, noted the limitations of unlimited customization, even amid unlimited access. For young Americans, she said, "because of the way they've trained themselves to use media, they never have to be exposed to an idea, an artist, or anything that they did not select for themselves."
Few, I thought I'd have to suffer through another dismal selection of my favorite tunes, culled from years of bombardment by media morons. But Ms. Frank is above having trained herself to use media, as the widely varied music that mtv plays for me will most definitely make my day so much better.
Ya, RTFM, the point of this isn't to make them good at kicking your butt. This bot is supposed to be pitted against two special dummy bots, name one and two. Then it can react to the bots chaning their sheild. blah blah blah, it's actually a very cool use of nueral nets, but you wouldn't know that unless you read it:)
Thanks george w. I used to think this country served the ppl, now I realise that all it does is serve to perpetuate big business and the top.01% of the population.
I just heard news of how soldiers took one of saddam's 7 palaces, and how extravagent it is. All marble floors and 18k gold faucets (which isn't too expensive, gold is cheap over there). They were saying how horrible it is that ppl are starving and the ruling class lives in such luxury. How is this that different from the US? We might not be killing as many of our citizens, but apparently we'll use our gestapo to throw them in jail and take their money if they tinker with their own personal property, or if they interfere with some companies defunct business plan.
Last I checked, I own my PS2, if want to throw it off my balcony, I can. If I want to add microchips, I can. it's mine, I bought it, I don't remember sony lending it to me....
They have to make money, live with it. Read the news, go on with your life. If you want to discuss, do so. If you want to be first in line then pay, bandwidth isn't free, so neither is the news...

That does sound interesting, but for larger scale check out Clickshare (http://www.clickshare.com). They have quite a robust system that allows payments as low as you want. The system is mostly being used as a way integrate subscription access control and billing without much change to your existing site, but it works fine for article sale and whatnot.
It isn't really a viable solution for places that wouldn't have a total charge to the user of over a few dollars. Basically no Credit Card system would be due to the charges involved from the cc companies. But clickshare can conglomerate a user's charges and only run them every couple of days or say, once a month.
It's quite ingenious, as it allows you to set up pricing tables and such for different pages or sets of pages. Best of all runs on linux or windows servers and requires no client side code or javascript (not sure about cookies).
There is a lot more to clickshare, like allowing sites to sell stuff without having to register users. Also sites that do register users can make money off of their users purchasing at other sites. Check out the website if you are interested. clickshare
Also, Paypal does have a subscription feature, many sites use this, for example, hotornot does, but I am not sure how they integrate their usernames w/ billing. You'd have to ask them:)
while you might be right at some levels, I don't feel that invalidates my argument. There will be very little funding while the public opinion (however wrong it may be) is against the techonology / research. What major company wants to be branded as "evil". For that matter, who is going to fund something that is fundamentally illegal, unless they want to challenge it's legality.
True, an overall lack of funding will hurt all efforts, but one cause of that lack of funding is public opinion.
I do feel tht your argument isn't entirely accurate, that MAJOR testing is necessary for ALL drugs in the US, it does cost a lot, but all companies in that area know that. That is why many of the them are in France or other countries that require less testing. It's a known cost, but trust me, some one with deep pockets knows there is a big ROI on a AIDs vaccine or a treatment for paralysis.
I hope that description was in jest. First of all, it only stops learned fear. This would mean that you would somehow have to stop these soldiers from learning fear of combat situations. You would have to do that at a young age, then how the hell would you train them?
seriously there are some dangerous area you have to get into if you want to solve serious problems. I mean, would could probably create ppl with 4 arms, or 2 kidneys right now, but we don't.
The research will be done no matter what, I would prefer all the info be out in the open rather than behind closed doors in some "evil empire". Please be cautious of your cynicisms of science. It is this mass fear propaganda that got the whole world to be afraid of biotech (which is currently saving their lives).
Right now we could possibly have treatment for ppl who are paralized, but limitations on stem cell research slow this down. This is mainly due to misinformed ppl spouting off untrue facts and unlikey predictions to scare the ignorant general public.
Please think before you speak, for everyone's sake
Since they don't know very much, it wasn't facts, it was rhetoric about how great Linux is.
I wouldn't call it a contradiction as much, as irony. And I don't find nearly as contradictory as your post, which makes a very large accusation with only a guess at the actual situation. Whose the one with the rhetoric?
A person in such a situation could look at case studies, talk to sysadmins at other companies as well as friends, they could also look through the plethera of books and make an educated decision. This decision could then be presented to management.
If only sysadmins could use linux then it wouldn't get very far would it.
