Well, there is that minor point of "human rights" which you might have heard about. Please do judge any culture, state, relegion or person that violates the most basic human rights.
Even though you might just be trolling, it needs to be said that the misconducts of the Taliban have nothing to do with relegion or culture. It would be nice to see their leaders brought into The Hague here in The Netherlands for a trial.
Let's move all those cameras that are now obsolete in Mass. over to Afghanistan where they could be usefull to record evidence of real misconduct...
Japanese and Taiwanese governments have asked the U.S. Armed Forces not to fly high-tech spy-planes into China, in fear that the Chinese government would gain access to highly confidential encrypted communication technology.
Already done. Go here here for a lot of interesting stories.
Some of the stories may be a little outdated, but it may help to read how other people solved their problems. Even if it doesn't help, it might still be something to enjoy:)
You talk like someone who has actually seen that sun-thing, or at least know someone who has...
I have read about it, usenet I guess. It's supposed to be yellow and shiny, and emit all kinds of rays. I did look at its website but couldn't find anything related to these robots.
Btw, from a security point of view: how do you know those rays have not been tampered with? Like, some man-in-the-middle attack? I say, compute the darn direction! And be sure to use the metric system!
I'll go outside, one of these days... I know, I should have used that slashless weekend for that:-)
They'll just tell the pilots to turn off caller-id on their mobile phones. Or explain to them again that "yes, radio-silence also means no calling from the aircraft!":-)
I have not played a lot of RPG's, most of my playing time so far went into sims and FPS's. I don't mean to be trolling, but what is the fun in these kinds of games?
Are massive multiplayer online games not inherantly slow-paced? High learning curve?
Again, I'm not trying to downplay these kinds of games, it's just that I would like to hear a bit more about them... There might be a lot of us fps-fanatics who might enjoy a new kind of game..
> I read somewhere that they sounded better than the first pc sound cards.
They did. Many early 'cheap' soundcards (read: affordable by a student) did only midi synthesized sound, not samples. This also was a fun, cheap toy to play with. Unfortunately it was not supported by any game, IIRC.
Well, it does make me remember the time that a homemade 2-bit sound sampler connected to the userport of the cbm-64 enabled us to create samples, and play it back by manipulating the volume register in the SID ('sound' chip). Sound quality was horrible, but it was state of the art, and one could still understand quite easily how it all worked. Writing a playback driver in 6510 mnemonics sure was fun!
Modern soundcards and lan devices are a lot harder to grasp, especially if it's the first time that you try to write something like a device-driver.
PCAnywhere might restrict you to using Windows or Apple, remote adminstration does not. Unix has remote adminstration built-in: telnet, ssh, etc.
I have done support for a number of clients using a software package running on unix. Most of the support was done while talking to the client on the phone, and at the same time working remotely on his/her machine.
IMHO the combination of phone and remote administration gives you the best chance to keep the customer happy, by being able to quickly assess and resolve any problem that is not hardware related.

2) They don't want to get sued so the probably want to keep up their part of that lifetime-deal
-> Better start looking over your shoulder. A lot! :-)
just to make sure his own networks are safe.
imho running nmap and sniffers etc on your own network is good,
they might reveal some mistake you made.
"I'll open this port for testing for just a few minutes, I'll change it right back..."
Btw, that BOFH guy is an Aussie, right? Maybe folks down under are really getting desperate :)

Why kill these? They help keeping /. alive, and free (both meanings)
Grues!
will they be GPL'ing that Orion-thing they had for a while? :-)
Punishment by generating extra income? I think CmdrTaco will be very grateful for all those extra banner-views. :-)

It can't be a coincidence that I've been reading up on old BOFH stories while /. was down... Maybe Simon did have something to do with this. ;-)
I guess /. got /./.ed :)
Do you mean your CueCat? And what about your mouse? :-)

Oh, and that kid too.
Tnx! I really regret not having the moderator points to mod you up. This is exactly what I was trying to find out.

Shouldn't that be FUI? (Floating...)
Do we need to include authorization for Australian users to copy or forward our messages from ./ ?
