dude what the fuck are you talking about. he was making an example of a valid policy and you're talking like he knows what you do. it may not be a good idea at your place of employment, but others it may. just like software whitelists are useful in someplaces (like a government agency) while other places its not (a university research lab).
you are clearly forgetting that disassembled code is still code. you could just as easily find out what zonealarm screwed up, it just takes more time. what's the difference between open-source and closed-source? comments and clearly defined coding structures.
i wrote a 3d engine when i was 12. i wrote cryptic comments, had a bunch of variables named d0 d1 d2 etc, and had function names like TheHackFunction. my friend saw my engine and wanted to use it for his game, so i gave it to him in the spirit of open-source. it took him a day to trace down a bug. he told me about it and i knew exactly what the problem was and i fixed the same bug (and 2 others!) in 15 minutes.
with that said, am i the only one that always keeps a copy of softice nearby to patch pesky 'vulnerabilities' in proprietary applications?
we just dusted off our wrt54gp2 when we moved and we have no problems using bittorrent and voip behind this router. i haven't gotten around to breaking the vonage-only sip configuration, but that will be happening shortly. even when we were using vonage, we didnt have any problems with bittorrent, vonage, and two xbox 360s. don't fault an entire line of products based on a single piece of bad hardware. if i were to follow your lead, i would recommend you never buy a netgear wireless router....
But smoking is legal. but it shouldn't be. at least it should be illegal anywhere I have to deal with it. Yeah, smokers have the right to smoke. But I have the right not to smoke. And I don't violate their right... but they often violate mine. if you are in public and they start to smoke, you do not have a right to tell them to stop. you DO have the right to get up and walk away.
but considering how driving is no longer a right but a "privilege", hopefully your stupid argument will make cigarettes a privilege as well.
I used Linux back in the 90s, but it was such a toy OS it wasn't going to help my career at the time. FreeBSD, however, has been serving high profile sites such as ftp.cdrom.com from this time. This proves FreeBSD's maturity, unfortunately the lawsuit left a bad taste in everyone's mouth forever. If I had a choice between FreeBSD and Linux, i would go for FreeBSD (assuming hardware support and that there were no other versions of unix in the shop). Unfortunately, FreeBSD lacks in enterprise support so RedHat, SuSE, et al have won the market.

no you miss the point. allow me to summarize the plot for you: Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives
you can't say a director sucks when he used a shaky cam effect because that was the intention of the movie. the fucking movie is shot as though you are watching someone's tape from a video camera. i don't know about you, but all of my shots tend to go to shit the moment i start running.
You run these simulations on Becky's computer over in the Human Resources department too? That's efficient computing. But I can bet you $100 that Becky's computer is sitting at a windows logon screen at 2am with 0% cpu activity. Why not power down the machine automagically at night and boot it back up with Wake On Lan in the morning?
Imagine if even 5% of computers in the US did this, we'd drop our carbon footprint drastically.
Watch the movie again.. there was a plot, there was resolution, and the point of the movie was to be focused on a group of people running to their death.

Cloverfield Discussion
·
· Score: 3, Insightful
i.e. Cloverfield was 'hyped' as a movie following a group of people USING A CAMCORDER. Who the fuck has a steadycam when they're filming a house party.
With that said, I know I have a much steadier hand than most people but thats because i grew up using a camcorder. Give a camcorder to your friend that's never touched one before and you'll have your very own Cloverfield in the making. There were plenty of parties I left to my friends to record came out a blurry mess. It also doesn't get better the drunker you get (which happened in Cloverfield) or when you're running for your fucking life.
Next jackass commenter that decides to complain about a movie that is hyped and describe as one way yet they expect a different experience (i.e. TooMuchToDo) needs to get cockpunched. People in the movie theater enjoyed the dizzying effect for 2 hours.
FreeBSD is like solaris with better driver support and a robust third-party package library. If you know how to use it, its fucking solid. If you're new to the game, you will feel lost unless you pickup a good book
Slashdot Mirror
The distribution clause in the GPL has not been upheld in court.
I'm sorry, this is off topic, but I was getting a warning at the top of Slashdot that classic is going to be going away soon (looks like in 6 months).
How many readers are going to leave if slashdot classic is cut off completely?

I thought I was the only one, this interface is horrible. Once classic slashdot is disabled, I'm gone from this site.
Netcraft confirms it, Slashdot is dying...
