ls -la/bin shows a bit more than just laden (.laden?). So,/bin/laden is paranoid, and does not use technology in order to ensure his own safety. That does not mean that other people, groups or cells have taken the same precautions.
Wouldn't it be great if at least some of the other bad guys out there could be stopped and/or eliminated because of a couple of techs with uptodate knowledge?
I do agree about the legal protection part. Stranger schemes have been used to arrest hard-to-get people. I know, I saw it on Discovery:)
Return question: is this so hard in the usa? Here in my medium-size city in the Netherlands there are at least 5 shops that sell components. Ofcourse they also offer complete (customizable) systems, but their main business is parts.
Building your own system is a lot cheaper than buying a ready-made system (especially if you buy from different shops), and you have control over which components make up your system. I like it:)
OOTR: not one (read "none") of the people I know have bought an Intel system recently. They all bought AMD...
Maybe they are expecting a certain type of target of opportunity. Like a certain armoured car owned by a certain terrorist leader. I really don't believe he only travels by camel as the pictures would suggest:-)
Then comes the stomach-falling sensation as the Athena upper stage flips around and fires its engine in a braking maneuver that will drop the orbit down to 290 miles (470 kilometers), where the NASA-sponsored Starshine 3 spacecraft is to be deployed
Strange.. I would think this is a waste of fuel, and launching extra weight is expensive. Why not eject the lower sattelite first, and then move up to higher orbit?
I was not complaining about mozilla being beta, just stating fact. I have no problem with it, even though it is not considered a finished product. As a matter of fact, I'm using Mozilla 0.9.4+ to write this reply, and if you don't mind I'll continue using it as my primary webbrowser:).
What I meant was that M$ just dumped win x.x into the stores, charging a lot of $ for a product that was (is?) not finished either, and abusing millions of paying customers as beta-testers.
Obviously, the Slashdot team deserves all the thank yous and kudos that they get here. But I would like to thank some other people as well.
Thank you Slashdot community, every one of you who posted insightful and informative comments and links, and everyone who took the time to moderate while they probably wanted to hunt for more info.
Slashdot was one of the few sites that kept us informed at work, and some co-workers actually first heard from the disaster here on slashdot. All the opinions and feelings expressed in the posts also helped us Europeans to understand even better the impact of this disaster on your society. (Please don't get me wrong, everyone here is probably as shocked and horrified as you are).
Once again, thank you, both Slashdot team and community!
And be sued by the CueCat people? After all, that thing or its software uses some dodgy tricks as well, so people might get confused... Remember legOS from a couple of articles ago?:)
owwww.... where are my moderator points when I need them?
You are absolutely right. People, just read the damned books, enjoy them, immerse yourselves in the great fantasy world it offers, and study its roots by reading the Sylmarillion, but don't ever try to fit it onto todays world.
TLOTR is simply the most believable fantasy book I have ever read.
Doesn't that just mean more cookie-cutter games with slightly different graphics?
This is exactly what happened in the cbm64 (i'm getting old....:-) ) era when game-engines started to appear. A zillion look-a-like shoot-'m-up type games, play one, play 'm all... Maybe two or three games based on same engine stood out because the offered something unique, like exceptional graphics.
Now, I know it'll be along time before I can go to my basement and download fully three dimensional porno, although I'm sure many of you dream about it.
First Yahoo! in the porn industry, and now nvidia as well?:)
I'm not sure if this is the Trident corporation website, but I cannot reach it at this moment.
Please tell me that this is just slashdotting, and not some fanatic opensource lunatic hacking their website in response to this... Because the latter would be a real pathetic response.
A couple of (preview) minutes later: hey, it's back. However it's not the same Trident corporation. This seems the link to the 'right' Trident. Hmm.. two choices: cancel this post, or post it in the hope that it may keep some poor misguided fanatic from doing something stupid....

And this sig you append to an article with a great job opportunity? :-)

"Hey, look, I can install a real honest-to-god webserver-thingy! Wow! Dunno yet what I'll do with it, but it sure is cool to have my own web-thing."
Need I say more?
In particular, I would point out the large number of local root exploits.

Like, pressing ESC at the login prompt?

Mozilla is still in beta. Keep that in mind as well.
At least the Mozilla people admit that it's still in beta...

I don't think that removing the genepool counts.. :)

But then again, Linus did not name his operating system intelOS...
slashdotted... Mirror?

Jeez.. that paperclip is only missing because it was already taken by another msoffice-like project! :)

You can find some of the images and movies here, or do a bit of googling.
don't expect an answer. The person who did this used his moderator points and therefore cannot post in this discussion. Sorry :)

btw, it seems they are reconsidering their decision to close it down...
can you cluster them with only 4 frequencies? :-)
On a more serious note: the site seems to be slashdotted already. Mirrors anyone?
Well, if a Boeing 747 isn't bloatware, then I don't know wat is.... :)
