Snort was only 1 of 2 that don't cost over $10,000 (U.S. I imagine). The other that was under $10,000 only started at $2,500 and goes up depending on your options. Gee, wish I had $10,000+ to blow on some hardware, then use snort on $100 worth of hardware in the form of a kinda cheapy PC. To apply the motto at my place of employment, "TWMS" which stands for THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE. Hardly anything is done that makes sense at my work. Oh well...
Actually, according to this there is only about 1 second of exposure and field of view of about a few micro-arcseconds so it will probably not be that big of a deal. Plus since it is going ot be based probably in Chile, are there a lot of plans flying over the Chilean Atacama Desert anyway?
Well lucky me, I have not heard a damn thing about the Smart case until now. Damn slashdot! I don't watch TV or listen to crappy radio; only *non*-commercial radio (npr is very much commercial radio) and I like classical.
Not quite like One MS Way because one company did not develop kde, xmms, and mplayer. 3 separate groups developed these. I personally am for making defaults but also making it extremely easy for users to use other programs besides the defaults and extremely easy to modify the defaults.
Of course there have been patches available for these old ass holes for like a year or whatever now so if you don't have it patched you probably have more to worry about than nimda. You should also have anti-virus software, which should pick it up too. What the hell is the matter with people?

Don't forget about the hundres of thousands of billboards Clearchannel owns. Also... hmmm all the thousands of music venues they own too. They get to control who is played on the radio, who is advertised on billboards, and who actually plays live at a lot of venues, no wonder no one can hear what they want, only what clearchannel wants, or the few other giant owners.
You are forgetting one very important factor: the radio waves are supposed to be owned by the people, not the 3 corporations who now control it. That is why I think things like WBAI and a lot of stations on Pacifica are important. Check out Off The Hook radio program done by members of 2600.
People have become so fickle that it does not even matter what the radio stations play, it will be bought and the advertisers will make out with tons of air time. That is another reason why it is so hard for other types of music don't make it onto the radio, the stations are just fine with replaying redundent songs and regurgitating whatever the advertisers want. Support your local public-supported radio stations (NOT NPR).
Let us also not forget that Spider-Man had an awesome looking clip that was edited out involving a bank robbery where the criminals get trapped in web spun between the twin towers. Why was it edited? we are too damned sensitive to be able to handle seeing the twin towers still standing?? Spider-Man is a bitch of coroporate whorism (whatever that means, just feels good to rant). I saved the origianl.mov file of the bank robbery scene too.
Try emBSD for a similar concept. They sell a box with no moving parts (no hard drive) to help incrase the life of the box. It is a stripped down OpenBSD aimed at being a router/firewall box.
This has got to be a mistake!! I will not believe this!! I bet the unfortunate military helicopter crashing in Afghanistan a month or so back was due to the pilots vision becoming completely blue with some white text describing something called a "General Protection Fault". They are basically admitting their code is a national disaster waiting to happen. Good thing newer electroinics (embedded systems) are using Linux or some other non-MS product.
In terms of useability, Mandrake is still a VERY long way behind Windows. It is still a collection of disjointed applications and utilities that just don't work together (IMHO). Mandrake (and hence most Linux desktops) lack the cohesion that makes Windows still the fore-runner in desktop computing.
Hah! Windows is not any better. I have a hell of a time getting things to work properly in windows ALL the time. I just had a LAN party, where the OS's used were Win98SE, Win2k pro, Win XP (dunno which version), Mandrake 8.0, Mandrake 8.2. Oddly enough, the Mandrake boxes did not even have a single problem. Try getting XP boxes to talk to Win98 and vice versa. This was my first exposure to XP and it stinks. Trying to share files (game patches, cracks, etc) blew. Where is network neighborhood in XP???? In every release of Windows, MS changes all their crap around and/or removes stuff that you relied on in previous versions. In any standard Unix/Linux environment you have NFS. Works with every Linux and BSD distro I have ever used. Us Linux using players had no issues sharing files. I ended up having to set up a FTP server for the easiest mode of transfering files to the Windows boxes.
I have yet to see some decent cohesion in Windows. Not every little bell & whistle works great in Linux/X-Windows/$fav_distro but at least from release to release the things that worked before still work or work better unlike in Windows... THAT's cohesion for ya in the Linux world.
Why not use numbers since they come before letters. Use 010101 The Binary Company or something. Then patent that technique. In fact, just patent numbers as names all together. Wait, didn't MS try to patent 1's and 0's already?
"First, is the piracy threat presented toward unprotected digital broadcast television. Over the air broadcast digital signals cannot be encrypted because the millions of Americans who receive their signal via antennas cannot decrypt the signal. As a result, digital broadcast signals are delivered in unprotected format and are subject to illegal copying or redistribution over the Internet upon transmission."
Excerpt from Sen. Hollings letter to President George W. Bush.
Shouldn't broadcast television not be encrypted? Why waste the time and effort to hide the content... isn't the point of broadcast to flood the area with the content... FOR FREE!?!?!?! Flooding the content... same with radio! Television/radio stations get their word out by giving away the content in mass form for free! They certainly are not in dire need for super strict legal actions to be taken by the federal government. Similar with drugs and many other things, making these kinds of laws wont decrease crime, it will increase the number of criminals and thus increase criminal activity (punishable by $500,000 fines and 5 years in prision).

Actually NT has kinda turned into a proper noun now hasn't it? If we were to assume that then wouldn't "... based on NT technology" be actually grammatically ok?

Then also think about the fact that we have found like what... less than 100 habitable planets out of many hundreds discovered. Then multiply that by basically millions for our galaxy. Then mulitply that by hundreds-of-thousands or more for all the galaxies in the known universe.
Then take into consideration all the different types of life that exist. Bacteria, virii, air breathing, water breathing, weird little things that live at 2 miles below sea level in the oceans, crap that feeds of hot geysers, little buggers that live inside volcanoes, etc. Earth has so many different kinds of life. I think there is an extremely slim chance there is no life outside Earth.
Just even europa, one of Jupiters moons, possibly has life within its oceans that they estimate to be as deep as 60 miles. I dunno about you but I would guess, somewhere out of the billions/trillions/quadrillions of rocks in space, there is life.
Yeah, i guess Zope written entirely in Python is just a complete waste of time. All those 30+ employees or so (mostly software engineers) need not bother anymore. Just a drop of water in the bucket compared to the great programming of VB.NET.
