Ad-aware is getting used more and more in my toolkit. Amen to that, I run Ad-Aware once a week on the lab I administer, spyware bogs down those PC's like nothing else.
This seems to be a classic example of if-it-aint-broke-don't-fix-it syndrome. TW's previous system seemed to handle their needs, and after the merger, they switched to AOL? Does anyone see the logic behind this? If you have a system that gets the job done without complaints, don't change it.
Campaign finance reform would help the situation, but even if Bush plans to sign it, the Supreme Court will overturn it. But on the other hand, with the Senate now being a democratic majority (Thanks to Vermont Senator Jim!), this strikingly conservative bill shouldn't make it past the killing floor.
Wireless networking in USL is quite simple, it only requires that you compile libpenandpaper-1.0, and exchange messages using the HandToHand networking model.
The distribution UberSecureLinux, is actually a standard distribution of RedHat Linux 6.2, default installation, but it requires you to remove the PowerCord(TM) device from your PC. With PowerCord(TM) removed, your machine is effectively hacker-proof.
UberSecureLinux hopes to dispel the myths that RedHat 6.2 is one of the most hackable distributions of Linux.
The company's failure to provide a Linux compatible player is going to be the demise of the copyright protection. This is what started DeCSS, some kid who wanted to play a DVD on his Linux computer, because there was no commercial (read:legal) software available to play it.
Of course, they would never provide an open sourced solution, as it would be against the DMCA. Providing a binary only solution for Linux users may not prevent users from defeating the protection scheme, but it will certainly buy the company some time.
The problem that they face with Linux users is that Joe Windows doesn't care about the protection scheme, because he has a player that will work for his PC, no questions asked. However, the Linux community, and correct me if I am wrong, is generally more technical than the Windows community, and therefore, we have the ability to defeat this mechanism, even if our intentions are legitimate.
...so that to Joe Consumer, they can put the disk in their computer, and it plays, no questions asked. Maybe not the CD audio track, but Joe isn't going to know that.

When you're the omnipotent admin, however, you can bend the rules for yourself. After all, you're running the company, right?

If we're going to compare to games, then we can compare to anything computer-related.
I have to shoot up every ninety minutes.
I think that if EQ is herionware, then a MUD is methadone-clinicware.
Cool, but OfferCompanion, not gator.exe, is the offending executable.
Wow, some balls posting C# on /.
:-)
No, the April F00l's posts are just getting stupid now.
All your joke are old to us.
Wow. For a minute, I thought this was serious.
Ha ha ha ha I can't help but laugh.
This is wrong
Yeah, it runs Windows.
No way man the Number Field Sieve ownz RSA.

Make it more complex:
Add Case and Ellison.

Seriously...I wouldn't doubt that the RIAA is somehow behind this. Seems a bit too convenient that Morpheus takes a big hit, eh?

You're still not getting it...
When youre in public, you're not in private.
Time to call the cleaning crew, the ACLU shit itself again!

LinuxHardware.org does hardware reviews, but of course, they plug their own stuff.
Internet.com has a decent hardware review site, but this is mainly geared towards server hardware.
ZDNet also has a pretty decent Linux section, with hardware reviews and compatability lists.
And, if you want to get straight to business, Google has a wealth of information regarding tech review sites.
Hope this helps,
Ted
That will be useful! The $300 graphics card [pricewatch.com] will be ideal for all the 3D-intensive games that are only availiable for Windows!
Unfortunately, this is true.
But, just think of your TuxRacer framerate.
Oh! Finally I see the light!
I have to start hating the conservative government because they're going to implant a mind control chip in my head!
Give me a fsck'ing break.
Go kill some babies, you freak liberal.
