You have to look at this historically. People in the ME don't hate the US because of our freedom. They hate the US because of how we've treated them in the past. People in ME don't like people from the US because they're "from away". Unless of course they've lived in ME for several generations, then they're okay.
Yes, it is important to apply the updates and regenerate the keys.
No, it is nothing to get too excited about. I just did the update on my Gutsy box and it not only fixed my host key, but it popped up a dialog box telling me that I had to check my user keys and how to do it.
So here I go: stop whining! It takes a couple minutes to update your system. If that's the toughest part of your day, you're a very lucky person.
I have one too, and it's really not all that bad, as much as I have been suspicious of it. My main problems are:
Verizon has a back-door into it, ostensibly for doing firmware upgrades, etc. But I worry that they could use it to break into my home network.
I needed to renumber my home network because the router was set to 192.168.1.x, but that subnet is also used by my employer and it was causing me issues when I started my VPN sessions. I could not for the life of me figure out to do that coherently with the Actiontec router. I finally wound up dumping the router configuration to a text file, doing a global search-and-replace in the config file, then loading it back in. (Which worked perfectly BTW).
If I was really paranoid, I would treat the Actiontec as a semi-DMZ and put my own router behind it. As previously mentioned, the set-top boxes need the MoCA access for program guides and on-demand access. But I just haven't bothered.
a basic digital sampling system looks something like
input->analog anti aliasing filter->ADC->storage/transmission->DAC->analog reconstruction filter->output
the performance of such a system will be far short of what nyquist would suggest.
That's why we have 4 kHz of "buffer" frequency. An ideal LPF would only require us to sample at 40 kHz for perfect reconstruction of a signal with a top frequency of 20 kHz.
IMHO, the only valid point I've heard about CDs having inferior sound quality is the fact that engineers are pushing more and more compression into the signal to make it "louder" at the expense of fidelity.
Nope. "God" is a title or a nickname. It's like calling your father "Dad". The Jewish/Christian/Islamic God's name is YHWH or Jehovah or Allah (I know, three names for the same Entity). It's considered bad form and disrespectful to actually speak his name though.
Quiet your thoughts and let the answers come to you, of course. Often you will suddenly know the right answer without having any idea how you know it. That's intuition at work.
The problem is that you then have to justify yourself to other people and they generally want thought out reasons, which you won't be able to provide unless you also go through a rational, analytic process.
I just bought a house a couple of months ago and the realtor did exactly that. I shudder to think what I would have gone through if I just wanted POTS. We're about 100 yards from the street and all of our cables are underground. I have no idea whether there's still copper from the street, or even if there's coax in case I wanted Comcast instead.
Many people don't realize that the deeds to their property is public property, and a sufficiently nosy neighbor could have always went down to the town hall/court and looked up what everyone on their block paid for their house (this is usually listed on the deed).
Actually, I just went through the process of buying a car and most 2007 models that I looked at had a line-in jack for mp3 input. Unfortunately, I wound up getting a left-over 2006 model for cheap so I didn't get that little benefit. On the plus side I did get a mp3-capable cd player so I can just burn cds with a bunch of mp3s on them and there's enough music there that I don't mind leaving it in the player and just burning a new cd-r once in a while.
And next thing you know, one of them will be president! Oh wait...

It can often be a big deal to switch to a different SCM system, so I agree that you should be taking an "information first" approach to the problem. Find out why the holdouts are unwilling to switch, what the impact on their project will be, etc. Then address their concerns.
bjourne took a jab at ClearCase, but it actually is a very good tool if it is set up properly and people have a rudimentary understanding of how they're supposed to be using it. Of course, it is expensive and requires some decent hardware for the repository server. Other tools have their relative pluses and minuses.
Of course sometimes individuals or even whole groups within an organization are too headstrong to make any changes. In my last job, I was told to help a particular product team migrate from CVS to ClearCase. They were all quite cooperative to my face, but dug their heels in whenever I wasn't looking. Apparently their director was telling them to do this behind the scenes. If they had just f**king told me they weren't going to switch, I could have helped everyone come up with a code sharing scheme that everyone could have used but instead I got so sick of being stonewalled that I left the company.
Not sure what my point was going to be. I'll shut up now.
You can shift-click on a message to open it in another window. Seems like it would be fairly trivial for Google to make a middle-click do it as well, but I don't see why that is such a huge problem for you. Certainly it's nothing for anyone to get fired over.
Just remember to make sure the "Initiate peaceful relationships with alien lifeforms" priority is higher than the "break resources down to component materials for replication" priority.
However, if everyone were observing the two-second gap rule, they would have enough extra space so that they could brake and still be safe, thereby avoiding these spontaneous traffic jams.
Believe it or not, I actually had to do this as part of my job once. Except it was the original DOOM and I was making sure the spiffy new S3 board would perform well. Back in early '95 if I recall correctly. Ah, good times.
Spoken like a true neocon. Don't present an actual argument, just name call and make vague gestures that "hey, the other side is pretty bad, too". Guess what? Not a valid argument.
The fact is that W is able to get away with massive scale crimes and misdemeanors because the current Republican trifecta would never turn on him.
As for Clinton, he was assaulted constantly by the right wing throughout his presidency and the only thing that ever stuck was that he lied about having an affair with an intern -- which, by the way, was none of our business.
Hmm.. Maybe you can select a greyed-out menu option and it would pop up a dialog explaining why it's not currently active? I know that would have been helpful to me in many cases and it would still provide the visual indication that the option won't do anything useful at the moment.
I'm at 10.2.8 and I'm getting kernel panics pretty frequently. Since I just got my G4 I initially thought it was a hardware problem, but Apple replaced just about everything in the machine and I still get them from time to time.
Is Panther any better? I think this is pretty ridiculous -- the only times I have ever gotten a kernel panic on linux has been when I did something really, really boneheaded, and I haven't had a Windows BSD in years.
Overall I really like the Mac, but I'm hesitant to put any serious data or services unless I can count on it to never crash.
You must have not been paying attention, then, because I distinctly remember seeing the "Episode IV" at the beginning and feeling confused. I also remember being confused that there was only one war apparently going on even though it was called "Start War*S*.
I didn't know about prequels then. I was in 5th grade.

This only works on the mostly dead. If someone's all dead, there's only one thing to do -- rifle through their pockets for loose change.

I for one would be much happier if Comcast would charge less for basic cable + broadband instead of expanding their global empire.

You seem to be capable of writing a video driver, so why don't you reverse-engineer the binary nVidia driver and roll your own open-source driver?
If you come out with an open source version of the driver and it's any good, I'm pretty sure it will be accepted into the kernel.
