New Linux Worm
·
· Score: 2
Linux is a strong OS but as it has grown in popularity and usage did anybody really doubt that people would start to create viruses and other nusiances that could be intrinsically more dangerous then existing win viruses? It just goes to show that a bare install can be dangerously compromised by any amatuer and as such linux really should be run by professionals who know what they are doing.. i mean how many of you still come across people running as ROOT???
I am not too sure about this but...
the FCC has rules in place that make it mandatory that each DSL company have its own equipment installed at the C/O and if you decide to switch DSL providers, they come out to your house and do yet another line test - regardless of the fact that you already have DSL.
These rules were put into place to ensure that the consumers have multiple choices - or - so that mergers of DSL telco's wouldn't end up making one large DSL provider.
Since ATT is already a DSL provider, it may still be necessary under FCC regulations to shut your service off, test your line and finally reinstall the same DSL service that you had.
great protections for the consumer eh?
is that while opensource linux is available for a wide variety of hardware apple's OS X, while good, is not available for the PC world.
This could have been their opportunity to move into the microsoft arena - possibly even with an implementation of WINE (or something similar) for the x86 implementation. This would have been absolutely great for lots of people who like windows applications but do not like windows.
Apple sucks at hardware - they are proprietary - what else do you expect? they did a good job with os x but who cares? if you only have a couple computers to run it on - what, do i have to buy a crappy mac to run it?
dynamics of the console market. no company who has successfully developed and marketed a console unit has made money off of the actual console - they make their cash from the software licensing agreements for games produced to run on their systems.
Xbox for instance will lose money for microsoft - but - they will make that loss back (and more.. much more) through software licensing agreements.
linux may be a superior operating system in terms of power, but admit it - linux is a useful tool to corporations ONLY so that you - the developer - has a way to develop code that they will steal from you. Linux is cool for servers, but get over the idea that a 'linux console' will ever work - especially when that $300 for a console box still means a loss for any company selling/distributing one.
just my two cents.
-Insert flame here-
You are sitting there, refreshing your browser just waiting for somebody to say something negative to prove your point that this board has gone to shit in a handbasket. I am sure that open debate is(no matter how deviant or politically incorrect), regardless of its topical derivatives, a welcome sight for many who find both a hightened sense of ego (hey, at least theres someone stupider than me out there) as well as comedic and informative reviews of topics to be just the ticket after a long days work.
shut your yap hole.
This is a good idea - reparations for our neandrethal past. I suggest that you first consider David Horowitz's argument that reparations are a bad deal for black americans - so why would they be good for us 'neandrethal-americans'?
Of course there is the issue of deciding how the money gets divided - i mean how do we know what % neandrethal each one of us is?
Neandrethals couldn't write or communicate through written form - so it could be said that the cro-magnon part of our biology liberated our more 'primal' side from a life of HELL...
just my two cents
they ran out of funding for their "whered the monkey tail go" research study - some press attention will get them the secured funding necessary to continue their royal carribean vacations and mai-thai's on the beaches of the world "looking intently" for homanid skulls (maybe they'll wash up on the beach)
in a related story...
March 21, 2001 [The Smithsonian] - According to the Smithsonian's director, Hans Ulrich, a remarkably old gorilla's skull has gone missing. Ulrich, who has recently bec. . .
sure about the 'connection' once they have successfully secured funding for their "where'd the monkey tail go" research study.
guard!! guard!! where'd my socks go?!!?!!?

New Human Ancestor?

While the addendum to your argument boasts of a logical and sentient being, your religious undertones are somewhat of a destractor from the real issue, e.g. you have no use for the idea that you share DNA with wally the pee drinking monkey. (you saw that.avi or.mpg right? anybody???)
I hear people drink their pee too.
The dogmatic and religious flock will point out that it is not beyond the scope of god (the unknown and unseen benevolent ruler of all we survey.. ) to have 'planted' the skull of what seems to be a common ancestor - to test our faith no less! Lets move past 3.5 million years ago and put the pieces together regarding the cro-magnon/neantretal link and integration (look in the mirror hybrid). Currently, the best explanation to the 'missing link' is not considered in the mainstream media - mostly out of politically correct ideology and a hatred of any heterodoxical arguments which present alternative arguments and theories. So I state again, who gives a fuck about 3.5 million years ago? It looks like a gorillas fucking head to me!
