basically all law boils down to who is in power. There is no such thing as justice on this earth, there are attempts by flawed people to paint a picture of justice. In some cases the picture looks pretty good. In many others it looks flawed at best, but in no case does it look like real justice.
What I'm trying to say is that it depends on WHO the Canadian is, and WHO saw what you did.
But hey, calling a 1-800 number can be quite fun, since they're paying for the call. May be fun to do an automated calling thing that calls, presses random numbers, speaks sloooooooowwwwwwlllllly...
what's the number??? Anyone?? A good/.ing of the phone service would be in keeping with tradition here. Not that I'm an instigator or anything.
when I worked there 2 years ago, I wasn't dual boot. I just had 4-7 machines all the time with a kvm. I always had at least one windows machine depending on what I was doing, but the good hardware was always running linux. The culture there seemed to be: "MS took our lunch money years ago, and now we're going to face them armed with very little, but at least we're going down swinging." Of course some of the most accomplished technical people that made Netware what it was are long gone, but there are competent people still there.
I'm sorry Quicktime??? Am I missing something?? why would anyone need quicktime? Is there something that it can offer me over mplayer, or the mplayer plugin?
They aren't hackers. They can't even claim to be crackers. They run a kit with as little thought to how it works as an Excel user thinks about the math and programming behind the interface. It's just a tool to them.
I totally agree. Why back in our day we had WRITE our own exploits, some people just older than me had to WRITE their own compiler to compile their own hand written 'sploits, and that's only if they finished their other chores first. It was uphill both ways.
The only real crime here is that criminal some dumb people leverage the work of the truly brilliant.
I don't think they've really succeeded to the point where a company/government can make a seamless transition
I don't think there could ever be a truly seamless transition. There will be a little pain here and there. For a good example of how to do it though, Novell has good experience. They did internally a couple of years ago and know all of the Gotcha's. As a matter of fact they have ironed out many of these in thier products, making the whole 'Go with Novell for Linux' push more attractive.
If you invest more time than someone else, you "deserve" rewards. People who invest less time "do not deserve" rewards. This is an absurd lesson that has no connection to anything I do in the real world
Obviously author never worked in a gub'ment position.
I think I would vote for this guy for president, just based on this alone.
Mitt is from the great state of Utah. Not necessarily a bad thing, but you might want to know a little bit more about him before you punch his name at the box in '08. After all he may be a friend of Darl.
In all seriousness. Romney is usually a pretty good guy unless you disagree with him.
or a link in the comments to wikipedia The funny thing is DAP doesn't commonly mean much to most people except maybe directory access protocol or some kind of german caulk company or something.
with a broken "non-essential" function is to just pull the steam engine out and have a perfectly normal BMW that gets worse milage;-) That's how it will most likely end up
Amen. It has been much easier to get a positive and timely fix by emailing OSS developers or posting to a mail list than waiting around for NAME REMOVED's support to come back with "yep that's a pretty nasty bug....we'll have engineering take a look at it".
I actually used a CASIO and later a TI graphing calculator to take notes in classes in high school back in the early nineties before pda's were really there. I used a laptop in my cs classes to play with example code from the lecture during the lecture. I also took notes and wrote papers during classes. I couldn't have survived high school and college without some computing device.
This is pretty good, but I think slashdot can do better. I mean the fact that a spammer was beat to death in (not so soviet) russia...I just read the head line and jumped into the comments expecting the culmination of all Slashdot exists for. We've got to do better than this. I wish I was funny.
I think this stems from our not so ancient history. Imagine the setting a couple hundred years ago: highly religious puritan types that want to worship God THEIR way (not that there's anything wrong with that) are tired of oppression and leave to live their lives in a "more free (as in speech)" place. They get a little miffed about taxes to the king and go all guerilla on the Brits etc. So you end up with a country that believes in shooting people, and prefers high necklines and very modest women (in general). These social preferences have been diluted somewhat, but are vestigally present in 'Merica to this day. The south and midwest generally seem to have a larger appendix than than the rest of the country.
there is a utility that will remove the journal to change ext3 to ext2 and will then add it again to make ext3 after you restore the ext2 image. Some Karma whore could look this up for me. I used it once to back up well configured test machine. Now reiser is another story and you can probably just forget about LVM.
I doubt that any self respecting aid would ever respond (except maybe anonymously) to a public forum. Perhaps the call should be to a "retired" representatives aid like they do on the Crap News Network with Generals when there's a war on. Actually is there anyone out there reading this that is an aide to a Senator or whatever that could repsond?
Our stay in Salt Lake City amounted to only two days, and therefore we had no time to make the customary inquisition into the workings of polygamy and get up the usual statistics and deductions preparatory to calling the attention of the nation at large once more to the matter. I had the will to do it. With the gushing self-sufficiency of youth I was feverish to plunge in headlong and achieve a great reform here - until I saw the Mormon women. Then I was touched. My heart was wiser than my head. It warmed toward these poor, ungainly and pathetically "homely" creatures, and as I turned to hide the generous moisture in my eyes, I said, "No - the man that marries one of them has done an act of Christian charity which entitles him to the kindly applause of mankind, not their harsh censure - and the man that marries sixty of them has done a deed of open-handed generosity so sublime that the nations should stand uncovered in his presence and worship in silence."

maybe they could afford to buy an s-video to composite cable like I did.
dude you reduce power to the cpu, underclock and pull out the fans...

yeah it's like "Star Command this is Buzz Lightyear... do you read me?"
...Quicktime also run in Crossover
I'm sorry Quicktime??? Am I missing something?? why would anyone need quicktime? Is there something that it can offer me over mplayer, or the mplayer plugin?
I really am just curious.
ROFL
if nothing else history has proven time and again that fanatacism > money when you have to fight over something.
(a little OT but) ouch...I immediately thought of Iraq.

60k a year is all it takes to be wealthy nowadays???, and I thought I was middle class average.
Mostly, it's just a play by top Air Force officials to sell the service.
Actually they have been mulling it over every since I started working for the Air Force. They figured "hey the kid's that 1337, we might as well."
you've read Waaaay to many Orson Scott Card novels. The global hawk is pretty cool though

That reminded me of something I read once:
Our stay in Salt Lake City amounted to only two days, and therefore we had no time to make the customary inquisition into the workings of polygamy and get up the usual statistics and deductions preparatory to calling the attention of the nation at large once more to the matter. I had the will to do it. With the gushing self-sufficiency of youth I was feverish to plunge in headlong and achieve a great reform here - until I saw the Mormon women. Then I was touched.
