I have read the telcos privacy (a few months back) statement and it makes ti clear they can give out any information they want about you to anyone they want. I think they called it partners and business associates.
My bet is that man-"kind" will kill its first alien on another planet on June31 2012. We'll be eating them by 2075. Can I have fries with my Europa-pie?
It's the fucking insanity gripping the USA right now. Frankly as an Australian who has always supported America's "previous values" I'm having a hard time understaning just WTF is going on...
I use MDK and have done so since 6x but 8 has caused me some angnst. It loses interrupts. I keep getting errors HDC lost interrupt, and it dies after spewing more about lost interupts. This happens periodically after a new install, sometimes rigt away then at other times after a few hours.
I agree 100%, I am most disgusted with the replies I have seen. Just goes to show so called "enlightened" computer people are just as selfish and warped as the execs from major money making corps. They are happy to fuck-up anything if it suits them. Man, animal, environment...
I'm all for technology but NOT at the expense of suffering of animanls. This is a really sad post and now I know why some people think/.'rs are morons. Some of your replies supports that the monkey has more brains than some of the readers of this site.
What planet are you on, certainly not one with win2000 thats for sure. NT5 does not get the BSOD (i havent anyways) BUT I have had many more reboots than with NT4, yes less BSOD'S and MORE reboots. Me thinks the BSOD was too embarassing and they'd rather have the thing reboot.
try MP3's across a network and open the CDROM at the same time I crash it every time. Thank goodness its the office puter
Bob's view is cool by me, it may be flawed by our own interpretation of where OSS is going, but hey, the world of full of people who eventually lose their way. Remember the world is what we make it. If we want OSS we can have it. If we want companies like M$ to decide whats good for us we can have that too. It's our call, make your choice. Personally, I like my freedom of choice.
PS Thanks TT, KDE is a fine piece of work and I look forward to KDE2.0
This person should undertake an education in business processes and practices.
Business procedures and well trained, and respected staff, are the key to efficient well structured and SAFE operations. What you are advocating is based on a level of understanding of business practices that would grant you a fail result in any first year Diploma Business topic. This is really quite appalling from a person in your position.

I know this is somewhat strange and frightening for a lot of hackers, indeed, for USA hackers is simply another sign that US hackers will go where they feel most comfortable, underground.
With the decay of justice and freedom of speach in the USA quite obvious from here in Australia (we will follow u soon *sigh*) it is only a matter of some small period of time when the West gives up the leading role for IT and allows my colleagues in the East to lead the way in free software. It will be too late when finally the profits have dried up the greedy swines wonder what happend to good old creativity (read leading edge innovation)(MS need not apply)
India and China represent 40% of the world's population and do you think they will give ONE figgin single IOTA about preventing hackers work!
It is simply a matter of redefining who will lead and who will follow and the way things are shaping up for the USA it's not only M$ who have a real paradigm problem on their hands.
So it has begun... Microsoft has inadvetantly made a mistake here, in its haste to head off the Linux wagon it has placed a page about the competition in some prime realestate. This has a number of complications for MS, 1, it has drawn attention to Linux and 2, with MS's poor corporate standing in the community (check MS's contibutions to charities and the PR slant) it will most likely create an environment of Linux awareness than a MS purchase.
Indeed awareness and profile are integrated deeply with any succesfull service or product. This coupled with, reliability, serviceability, aesthetics, features, performance, durability, conformance and perceived quality form the cornerstone of end user use. All products face this continuing balancing act and depending on the type of use the end user has planned, the importance of each of these characteristics is changes.
This has been why Linux has grown so much, like it or not MS has been meaured against these characteristics and been found failing, the end user has been shown competitor as an alternative with MS giving away free PR for Linux, end users will (it is instinctive) compare, and evaluate based on their needs.
MS gambled on "Perceived Quality" via their web site's portrayal of linux V's all other characteristics. This was not only poor management it reflects a culture that is quite incapable of re-focusing on a changing user environment and believes that more of the same is the way to succeed.
MS presumes that end users do NOT compare and contrast their needs with the offerings from various suppliers, someone should make MS managers read IBM's history for an example of how another company thought it could tell end uses what was best for them... nuff said, if you don't know go do some reading it makes for a lightening on the soul.

I reckon this would be way cool. Put one on G.W Bush, as the rest of the world should be protected from your obvious flirt with insanity.
