After reading that, it sounds like this was a non-issue. Sounds like typical business in Japan, and that Greg got caught up in the mix of things. Japanese will always defer to the senpai. And in this case, that's what he is.

For [enterprise] business communications, your conversations should really move to Jabber using SSL. I've led a similar conversion at my job, and after a little end-user training people were quite happy. You free yourself from the coming standardization war, have the opportunity to implement new functionality etc.
Otherwise, gaim has a patch for GNU TLS support, it just hasn't been updated in *forever*. I'm sure trillian would recipricate and implement OpenSSL support for interop with gaim should gaim support tls anytime soon.
Also, I'm not entirely certain that the new AIM encryption features are aimed at home users. Business users are the target market I'm guessing (See Above).
But this wasn't passed under him, it was passed before him. That should read, "Will you buy from media cartels that exploit the weakness of the human condition with respect to money? *sigh*"
And here's the sad thing... At 9AM cst coverage continues on univision whereas as soon as the game ended the abc coverage ended, how damn pathetic. Not even the trophy presentation! We've made good strides for soccer in the USA, but not enough... Viva Univision [despite my not understanding much...]
Not only this, but as Ballmer said (paraphrasing here)... I'd rather have them pirating my product than someone elses product, because when we force them to pay up later on, whose product do you think they're going to wanna use? The one they are proficient with.
And on top of that, buy it on a credit card. Paranoia asside, Best Buy gets charged for each return on top of the return charge to the manufacturer which is going to raise some eyebrows if they have to pay the CC companies a bunch of cash and the costs for a bunch of returns.
Stick it to'em. I'll pay for music I can use anywhere. Not just in my now broken cd player.
Although nothing is coming up, I could swear we've seen this story on slashdot before. Really...
This is old hat, and I coulda sworn it's been covered here before.
It was called existence on my old ISP, used %%TAGS%% to allow SSI + More ==> Templates...
But I can't prove it think of a way to prove it.
Maybe I can dig up an addition date to a perl links page.
For those of you left out in the cold by this,
Hushmail provides secure e-mail at a reasonable fee (I forget what I paid) or free accounts.
Although if today's message is anything, supporting privacy services with money should be considered if you're going to use the service often!
:Don't knock AOL because it's for "dummies" or anything like that, look on the bright side. This has the potential to bring millions of users over to Linux.
But does it have have the potential to bring millions of users educated to safely run linux?
I mean millions of ddos machines waiting in the wings is a BAD thing IMHO. Not to say if aol started releasing ao-linux machines it would not be locked down but new exploits come out all the time and especially newbies wouldn't know an xterm from a/sbin/sh...
however, if someone was calling your a complete asshole you would care. Or even more relevant, if someone was judging one of your oppinions and speaking of it negatively while speaking highly of you overall. Given that people usually focus on the negatives when evaluating an individual, it at first appears that removing the possibility of a high profile web site criticizing some aspect of their show would be in the lawyers best interests; what they fail to recognize is that the number of irritated fans who may choose to not watch the show anymore can often times outweigh the impact of a few high profile negative comments.
The only prob I've had with my copy of the matrix is that it has a skip during the menu. The original problems I've encountered is between 3com's diagnostic protocol on my 3c905BTX net card and my dxr3/encore 6x. Trying to play with the diagnostic prot enable locked up my machine *Ever* time. Disabling it has made the movie play w/o a hitch ever time.
JP's actions remind me an awful lot of church leaders and witch hunts[or mccarthyism as was pointed out earlier]. Preying on the ignorance of the masses. Good strategy. Worked for the church. The answer? Ellucidation of the masses!

that's why they have devl/qual and prod environments for these types of situations...

nope, you nailed it :) Full Agreement...

I've been following him since I needed his NWFS. Shame the guy is crazy, he could have put out a useful tool.
IIRC, he also smokes pejote(sp).. might explain a few of the more absurb claims. Evil I know, but you never know.

Yes, speaking of "Fun" errors to see in your morning logs...
messages:Jan 4 13:20:01 TheSunGod kernel: VFS: Busy inodes after unmount. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day...
I loooved seeing that coming from our beefy db server, when it looks to be a harmless error stemming from it's NFS exports.
Fun Stuff!
Yang-Chibara are 6 dimensional entities that I believe arise from superstring theory...
