SPACE - Under MIR law, the voter only have the right to be able to understand, read, and find their correct candidates. Sinces fungus are typicaly single celled and unable to read or understand the ballots, the courts of MIR adgree that the fungus are up shit creek. A judge on MIR delievered a statement: "You lost, get over it, and have a nice life."
Fungus has been seen revolting on MIR, distroying the station. When asked how the felt about the judge decsion, they seamed to habe said something in Russia, however as they don't have a voice, or even a way of talking, this is not for sure. The fungus went back to distorying MIR. On the ground, fungus supporters said "WAIT UNTIL 2004!!"
You don't often see the kind of rampant cheating that prevailed in Diablo 1 or Ultima Online when you are playing the FPS games.
I adgree! When Diablo 1 come out my friend and I played head to head for about a month. Then one day we figured out that the game sucked. So we went cheating. One of the best thing to do were to "steal" other people chars or even better replacing asshole char's, heh heh, with a char with a -500 hit points. Oh it was great fun.
In Ultima Online is wasn't so much as "cheating" it was the crappy interface that Orgin offered. It was slow to use and very limited. Most of the "cheating" were people using UOAssist. Sure there were hacks, but GM's PUT them in the game. I just grew so sick and tried of all the cheating that I had to find some other way to enjoy the game. Since UO was such a good game to Role Play in, I chose not to cheat but to come up with a stroy line so I wouldn't have to be involed in action that would lead to cheating so I could enjoy the game. The stroy line behead my 3 way GrandMaster (Mage, Warrior, Swords) were he was a troubled child. His father died and his mother was died horriable before his eyes and were forced to live on bucs den killing 100's of people. Becuase of this, he did not want to fight in his old age. Instead he would find other way of getting rich. He had a little under a million in assets, and he never made, sold, killed, or transported anyone. After his girlfriend back stabed him, he went on a killing spree. He ended up red and dead with about 40-50 kills.
Personaly, the rabid cheating ADDED to the game for me. It was more like LIFE then a game. In life people cheat, and there is nothing you can do about three things: you cheat, you sue (ask for a higher power), or detach yourself from it.
Of course, before I went on my killing spree, I ruined one asshole that gave me BO. Two months after the fact I broke into his house and allowed people to steal everything he had. It was great. After breaking in I opened moongates to a few cites and told people to help themselves. The GM were not happy but it was part of the game. I felt since he had cheated so many other people out of stuff, it was right. A few months later a house patch went into place that I believed prevent opening moongates. Hey! I had my reasons!! The guy was cheating and the GM wouldn't do anything!!
I'm not sure I understand the benefits of taking a small independent computer and making it dependent on another one, even if it is just for power... surely a box the same size as the card, with it's own PSU and a serial port for control is more reliable? Or a 1U case for a rackmount "enterprise" one
I doupt this will be marketed for enterprise users using CheckPoint or what not. The real market for this device is personal firewall market.
Here's the deal. You're a UNIX security Guru. You know `ipchains` like you know perl. You don't compile a kernels, you rewrite drivers. Your best buddie down the street just got that high bandwidth connection that makes you sick. It might be DSL, Cable, 10bt, or even Fiber. You know he needs a firewall. He knows he has to have one. There's no way around it. Buddy only know AIM, pr0n, mp3's, and types http://www before every url.
You're a good friend and you want to help him out. You have a few choices:
You can give him one of yours 486, find 20-40 hours, build a solid firewall, and give him a your pager number so he can call you when it fails
You can tell him to go out of the box firewall that runs on windows and cost $19.95 that require a machine or run on the host machine but you know these solutions are lame as hell. Heck you crack the "firewalls" in you spare time!
Or you can tell him to buy this card, which doesn't require that much effort, just as secure as the stand alone, and you can still have a life!!!
I'm glad you point that out, as if I didn't know, the different from a republic and a monarchies, but could you tell me the different with a democracy and a republic? hmm... Let me help you.
In a Republic, groups of people rule (on a state level). In a democracy the majority of people rule and push the minority out of the way (on the national level).
The Constitution of United States of America states states very clearly, it's a republic.
Section. 4.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot
be convened) against domestic Violence.
You moron, he was talking about BEFORE the election. Did you know the Gore camp HIRED A TELEMARKETING FIRM to call the old gizers to "chum the waters". You throw enough blood and guts into the water until it attracts sharks. Next all the gorons like you and other liberals bitch about a simple ballot being confusing!!! To doupt the election and get recounts UNTIL YOUR GUY WINS!!! It's fucking bullshit!!!
Sure, in other countries they may force people to vote, but that is not the American way. The fore fathers gave us the right to say "to hell with voting" if we choosed!
Amerca is a republic. We are not under mob rule. We can vote if we want to or not. The more mandates we put into place, the further we go away from the Constitution.
Mr. Slosberg said: "I'm not sure if I was not paying attention or if I was concentrating on the fact that I was in an election, too. Apart from Al Gore winning, I also wanted myself to win..."...free drugs.
Is Slosberg discribing an Acid trip? I had an experince like that before...
Ms. Berkowitz, the lifelong liberal who said she mistakenly voted for Mr. Buchanan - "I wanted to shoot myself"
So, do something good for the world and kill your stupid self Ms. Berkowitz.
Let's get it right, 19,000 ballots,NOT people, were disqualified in Broward County becuase the caster screwed up the ballots. The 19,000 people still casted a vote.
Shouldn't Americans be able to register from their computers at home or work...
Nope, not until there is a way to know who is who and be able to prove who is who, then they can register from thier homes or at work.
If Amazon can do it, can't the federal government?
If someone place a bad order to Amazon using a fake credit card and have it shipped to a HUD home, there are law to help Amazon get back the money and maybe the items.
If a voter cast a vote and elect someone, there is no way of ridding rid of the votes becuase once one vote is questioned, ALL VOTES ARE QUESTIONED.
Oopsy. And not because the old guy was stupid, but because he was so
careful to track the form "correctly!" The form was a user interface
nightmare and was not tested before being put into use.
"Oh -- you should also know that this type of ballot --- called a "butterfly ballot" --- is exactly the same type of
ballot that is used in judicial elections in Cook County, Illinois. Cook County would be the home of the Dailey
political machine and Bill Daily, Gore's campaign chairman. Now Bill Daily is calling the ballot an affront to
democracy in Palm Beach County --- but has nothing to say about it in Cook County, Illinois. Hell, Gore carried Cook
County." - Neal Boortz
Bush voter = are the conservitve prices of shits that want the USA to be a super power.
Gore voter = bed wetters who wants the goverment to take care of them and other people
Nader voter = Are commuistist bastards who are blinded by the environment over thier personal freedom who wants the goverment to take care of them and tax them damn rich bastards!!!
Buchanan voter = are just plain nuts
Harry Browne voter = crazy bastards who want to go back to the old way of doing things
The good thing about BSA is that they use FreeBSD, Apache, PHP, MySQL, all free (as in beer) software for thier web server instead of NT, Solaris, Oracle, iPlanet, Novell, Weblogic, Verisign, ASP, Java, etc..
Maybe people should learn from thier example, and trash expesive pay software.
Atleast they won't have to worry about some jackass company fining them $150k a pop becuase someone installed M$ Office on thier desktop ($150k) and on thier illegal Windows NT machine ($150k) to send a picture made in thier illegal Adobe ($150k), even through the company bought $200K of software from Micro$oft and $100k from Adobe.
Sometime companys can just go way to far becuase not everyone is a lawyer.
Ok, let say you make it where a watermark is 'somewhat secure' (there is nothing "secure" only "somewhat secure"). Say it uses a bunch of random bits that is encoded in the music. What would stop someone from just remvoing the code from the music? The DMCA?
Everyone here has seen a sound wave. Wouldn't the "code" produced abnormal spikes somewhere in the wave? With a powerful sound processor, it could be possiable to proccess the wave in a way to detect the code and remove it. Oh course this is analog.
With digtal music, random bits can be place in locations where typicaly would not produce sound or abnormal sound. Drawing from a "clean" sample patterns can be found for the encoding. Do some math, and the water become clear as day. Once the pattern is found on the single sample, you have to find out how this sample compare with another samples.
This is where it gets complex. If the music effects the pattern of the watermark, one would have to figure out what influece the pattern. It can be rather complex. But here's the problem. One can't just add a bunch of random bits on digtal music and expect it to sound the same. Figuring out where to put the bits, helps the cracker, becuase it makes it easier to find a pattern.
Also, one is limited to the number of bits to the lost of enjoyment. How many can you really put using complex anaglothes in a 4 minutes song? How many of the 50 megs of a wave file or 4 meg in a mp3 isn't really used?
There is one good thing, with effective encoding, it can increase security for simple text messages.
What is stupid is the overuse of "My blahblah" On the Start bar, there are about 5 of them. Would be simpler without the "My blahblah". As if I dont know its mine!
Ah! but see! It's not realy yours!! Oh yes it's MircoSoft, saying "My blah blah", makes the dumbass THINK it thiers.
Oh course only UNIX people own thier system (and other people's). We all hate the "My blah", can you picture it on a UNIX system??
For those who are voting for bush or gore, look how much they care about you'; the slashdot readers. They don't have time to write you a message. Harry Browne cares about you. Gore and Bush only care about votes. And your vote don't matter to them.
This assumes everyone can afford the incredibly high cost of private education. Of course that's not the case (even without taxes). Without public schools a large percentage of the population would go uneducated, with no future and as children having nothing to do to keep them away from trouble
Goverment funded schools are failors. I went to goverment schools and if it wasn't for my parents, I would be dead or in jail.
I don't adgree in totaly getting rid of them, but something should be done. A vachor system would be much better. A free market place will improve it.
Browne wants to eliminate social security, which millions of seniors depend on.
Woohoo!! $150 bucks a month!! That's something to depend on!!
He wants to eliminate federal income tax, but still have a strong national defense (this doesn't come free by any stretch, currently about $260 billion).
Income taxes don't pay for national defense. Never has. Never will. Income taxes pay for goverment programs.
What about national emergencies? We would have no federal disaster aid.
Is this a duty intitled to fedral goverment in the consution?
Browne has no concern whatsoever for the environment.
It's not the role of fedral goverment. It's the states role and the people in the state.
His answer is to let capitalism take care of all of our problems.
This is really bad.
You expect the goverment to take care of your problem? When was the last time goverment has solved your problems? Goverment has only MADE problems for me and my friends!!
So basicly:
Can't get a job, ask the goverment.
Can't get a house, ask the goverment.
Can't buy food, ask the goverment.
Don't want to take care of your kids, ask the goverment to do for you.
Got any other the problem ask the goverment.
And you're says:
Let the goverment take care of you when your old.
Let the goverment enter you life.
Let the goverment read your email.
Let the goverment control you tought.
Let the goverment tell you how to live your life.
People should deal with the own problems and not expect goverment to solve it for them.
Look at the people living off of wellfare. The goverment has sloved all of thier problems. They don't have to work. They don't have to buy food. They don't have to worry about rent. Yeah, goverment help them out a whole bunch!!
Translation: let the companies step all over everyone, as long as it's for the almighty buck, it's okay.
No, let the states prevent companies from stepping all over everyone. Companies step over you becuase they have laws that allows them to DO SO!! Guess who put them laws into affect?
So, I guess you can vote Browne if you could care less about the rest of the country as long as the government keeps its hands of your stuff.
Yep. I don't want to my money going to help some gray hair becuase they expected the goverment to slove thier problems and now they live in a rat hole. That's not my problem.
Let me tell you. It can ONLY do 50 requests a second, anything more then that, IT BLOWS UP!! I mean self termates, died, buries it self, stumbles around drunken.. etc.. The only way to get working again is to restart it.
I have tomcat 3.1 running, I'll show you.

Listen, jack, I have freedom of speech. If I think the guys post is funny, I'm going to luagh. Who the hell are youto say I should be shot. One thing buddy, eat shit. I have rights. I have freedom. If you don't like it who the hell cares. We all have freedom.
He who gives up freedom for security doesn't deserve freedom nor security.
And most closed-source zealots have pucked up asses, wet thier bed, and deny other people thier god given rights to be "brats".

That's why you have to put in a wood box with pad locks. Incase this with 24 inch steel plate. Drop the whole thing in lead until you have a 72 inch layer.

Say I'm hacking my own network. Say I find a expolit in a package on a UNIX machine. I write a patch. I apply the patch. I recompile the package. I deploy the package. I have a more secure UNIX based network. Do you really think I can do that with NT? I can't.
If I find a expolit in NT, I have to submit to mickysoft, disable the service, wait for them to put in the service pack, and then enable the service while I'm left in the sun baking. Sure, it's the same "degree", but one I can do in a night, the other I have to wait a few months.
