Well, not exactly "wild to the core". I remember reading a real estate ad for this island, about 15-20 years ago, when the U.S. Gov't was selling it.
It used to have a military base and an airstrip capable of handling a Boeing 727. I always wondered who bought it, now I know. The Nature Conservancy probably converted part of the old base for their staff. I'd suspect they probably kept the airstrip in semi-decent condition, since it would be one hell of a lot easier/quicker to fly in that to sail over there in an emergency.
Ummm... that was the point of sentence #2 -- that it would be vastly easier to acquire nuclear materials from an Ex-Soviet state like Kazahkstan.
Hell, the Soviets used to just dump old nuclear reactors from subs into the Arctic Ocean, above Siberia. There is probably TONS of radioactive stuff for dirty bombs laying around there. However, it is almost impossible to retrieve.
Many bad people behave only because they fear punishment if they get cought.
I'll bet that is only with minor crimes, not the major ones. "I'd kill Bob, but I'm afraid I'd get caught." just doesn't seem to work.
Besides, my point is we have more than enough laws already. My sig is targeted at people who proclaim "there ought to be a law!". Frequently, there already is and we don't need another.
"I have also been retained by the Department of Justice in its investigation of the INSLAW matter. In 1992 (and later in 1995) my task in that engagement was to investigate alleged copyright theft and subsequent cover-up by the Federal Bureau of Investigations, the National Security Agency, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the United States Customs Service, and the Defense Intelligence Agency."
Leather Goddesses of Phobos was a game by Infocom, makers of Zork, back in the day of C-64, Atari 800s and Apple IIe computers. (Mid-1980s)
It had a "naughtyness level" setting and was a parody of campy 50's SciFi plots involving space amazons and the like. Entertaining, even though it sported the traditional Infocom interface -- text only.
1. Contact the site advertised by the spam. 2. Agree to split the $100K 50/50 with the site owner if he fesses up on who he paid to send the spam. Odds are it was a hell of a lot less than $50K. 3. Profit! 4. Repeat!
Of course, there is no guarantee the advertising site won't cut you out of the loop...
A woman trying to grab smoke.:-) Sort of like trying to get solid details about the filesystem when everything was handled by the marketing droids.
Hmmm...as late as June 1 it was being referred to as DFS, the Dynamic File System. Not good enough for marketing, as it was too generic a term. Now it is ZFS -- the LAST WORD in filesystems. Ugh!
What happens when IBM decideds to let Sun's marketing droids know that ZFS is IBM's zSeries File System for OS/390 machines? How about that it also was a "dfs" in the way of "Distributed File System"?
Sun now want to take on Veritas, whose existance came into being pretty much to deal with the crappy Sun volume management.
All in all, Solaris 10 looks promising. Even more so that a good chunk of it will be open sourced.
I've been telling people for years "no, you can't get a virus from things like a JPEG picture. You're fine."
Now this. Considering how many bugs are reported in all version of MS software, it is entirely possible that there are PERSONAL bugs. "This one is for Charles. Let's fuck with him."
"Tried to correct them," or, "Actually corrected them?" I will admit that I won't get within 20 feet of a Real product (I'd rather install something like Real Alternative), and so I don't know how much less crap Real 10 is...
Let's find out.
1. Double-click on installer. 2. Read EULA.
MAIN BITCH #1: The Software may include certain plug-in components ("Plug-Ins"), including the ActiveX Control, Java plug-in, and RA XTRA plug-in. You may only call to or otherwise use such Plug-Ins through the use of the realplay, rcansplg.so.6.0, rpnp.so, rpnphelper, rcaembed.so.6.0, rcacore.so.6.0, realplay.exe, nppl3260.dll, rmoc3260.dll, embd3260.dll, rpcl3260.zip, tpasdk.dll, teasdk.dll, tsystray.exe, teamp3.dll, tsasdk.dll, security.dll, or tpdmgr.dll applications. Any direct use of Plug-Ins through a non-RN proprietary application, including a custom or user-written application is prohibited by this Agreement.
Can't use the plugins (codecs) in anything other than RealPlayer. This is evil.
The rest of it is long, legalese and to be expected. There are lots of evil parts about DRM, etc. but I expected this.
3. Select Internet connection speed. 4. Choose where to install, along with checkbox options for desktop icons, menu entries, etc. Turn them all off. 5. It installs. 6. It wants to know what MIME types to associate. By default, every media type except Windows Media is selected. Uncheck what you want. (In Advanced, I noticed it left my Quicktime assigned types alone, unless I modified them individually.) 7. Register...or not.
So...
It asked, like almost any modern Windows program, before creating menu items, desktop icons or quicklaunch icons.
It asked about what MIME types to associate.
It even uninstalls cleanly, as far as I can tell.
Unlike before, where it was more of "your ass now belongs to me, forever. I will wedge myself in, spy on you and own all your media!"
Real 10 is light years ahead of older Real products in terms of pervasive assholeness. The original poster, like you, hadn't tried Real 10 -- which was only fair before blasting away about current practices. (I believe the rant I replied to phrased things in the present tense, and didn't ack any changes.)
You're right in that past behavior isn't instantly forgiven, but current behavior should be at least acknowledged.
You could partition the USB drive. Partition #1 is normal (FAT-12) and partition #2 is mounted via loop-aes.
Assuming you use Linux or BSD and not Windows.
The fun part is if you partition 50%/50%, and the drive doesn't have the size printed on it, when a Windows person installs it they will never even see partition #2 unless they go into a partition editor. All they get is an automounted partition #1 -- which is the proper size for the little brother to the model you're using.
Security through obscurity! (Backed by AES, just in case.)
Did you not read the part where they tried to license Apple's DRM and Apple refused? How about the part where Real would be *happy* to license to Apple? He'd be quite happy with the 2-way street.
"Stealing Apple's IP" is pure, unmitigated bullshit. They simply created software that would allow non-Apple music to play on an iPod. The horror!
LSB 2.0 was released on August 30, 2004. This major new version adds Pthreads support, C++ support, a modular specification, alignment with current standards (Posix 1003.1-2001 / SUSv3) and a large number of quality improvements to the LSB. A complete set of test tools, development tools, sample implementation and application battery are available from the downloads page.
My favorite change is the modularization. It didn't make any sense to me that X11 libraries were required for LSB 1.x. Most servers I run don't have X11 installed at all. It seems I wasn't the only one who thought that as there is now LSB-Core, LSb-Graphics and LSB-CXX-Generic.

Hell, the Soviets used to just dump old nuclear reactors from subs into the Arctic Ocean, above Siberia. There is probably TONS of radioactive stuff for dirty bombs laying around there. However, it is almost impossible to retrieve.
Read the whole article and you'll see that there are over 50 nuclear bombs that were "lost" and just sitting out there.
The tons of enriched Plutonium sitting in Kazahkstan (sp?) are more easily acquired by terrorists than stuff lying on the bottom of the ocean.
Still, just letting it sit there and contaminate the fish isn't a good idea.
And, unfortunately, now your e-mail account is Slashdotted. That'll learn ya!

Is she going into pr0n? At least in that case, if she opens her mouth, it'll be for a good reason!
I love this part:

Why?
:-) Competition is good for the CONSUMER, but not necessarily the PROVIDER.
They probably wouldn't.
What I don't understand is all the Apple fanboys getting bent out of shape about this. They're more loyal to APPLE than THEMSELVES! Sad.
It would be easier and cheaper. They don't HAVE to, if they want to take the same route as Real and lose all thier richteous indignation.
Yeah, real clever. Showing that they have learned from past mistakes and have tried to correct them in their latest version.
Heaven forbid they actually TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION! No. Slashdot hypocrites want nothing less than self immolation.
As far as Window's Media Player Messaging Center popping up with ads an shit, of course not! That is what Windows Messager is for!
Give credit where credit is due. Real 10 was invasive and evil. Real 10 is a different animal and allows simple control over all of that.
Did you not read the part where they tried to license Apple's DRM and Apple refused? How about the part where Real would be *happy* to license to Apple? He'd be quite happy with the 2-way street.
