But the second and third letters in the names are the same. Linux -- Windows Therefor Linux must have stolen the intellectual property of windows to get those two letters.
We all know what the problem is. The system was made by ***** and it gives a **** ***** ** *** every time they ******. If **** made a decent system there would not be an issue but *** could not make a stable system if their life depended on it.
IMHO They should ditch **** **** and use **** instead. It is more stable and reliable than *******.

1: Use scientific data to show we are all going to die from global warming unless we make changes.
2: Suggest government regulation of CO2. Something everyone produces by breathing.
3: Start company selling Carbon Credits.
4: PROFIT!
There is no profit in fixing the problem and the government does not get more power by fixing it. Therefor it will not be fixed.
No kidding!
Heck, 25 years ago My self and a friend used a felt tip one to draw a set of lines on a wooden fence. A set of nails and alligator clip wires and a little hacker engineering and we had the neighbors phone line on the window sill. Worked ok for about 2 weeks, provided it was not raining. Then it broke down enough that it did not work.
My local Phone company formerly known as SBC has a system where it answers the phone and asks you to enter your account number, the last 4 of your social, your phone number, the house or street number, then state your last name. After which it gives you a menu, press 1 for etc. etc.
However, when it says "Please hold for the next available representative" It clicks a few times then transfers you to a busy signal. You are forced to hang up and call back and answer all the questions again.
When I got hold of someone at the phone company they told me that a new study was done that showed that people felt uncomfortable when calling the phone company and getting a busy signal. Thus they created the system so that no one would get a busy signal when they call in.
I wonder how the Fonolo system would handle having to enter all the user identifying data.
Oh yes it is!
I don't have to show an ID or give my person information out to get a disposable pay as you go phone.
This could be great for anonymous shopping, provided you use a pay as you go phone.
My understanding is the when the get a DCMA take down notice the take it down, no questions asked.
So, Why dont we ALL submit take down notices for all the major sites. Washington post, NY Times, and anyone else we can take down. Can we submit one for the domain whitehouse.gov?
Maybe we can cause enough of a problem that they actually start looking at the take down notices to see if they are legit before they act on them.
1) Integrate this with a physical tracking system to move the camera to follow the target.
2) A simple program to actuate a solenoid when on target.
3) Add gun
4) train with photo
5) leave somewhere days before target arrives.
6) Profit
I am not saying we can do it today, or tomorrow. I am saying that in the future, it is a possibility. Hell, moving the transports the ~750 million to 1 billion mile one-way trip could be done economically with ion engines, nuclear batteries, a little fuel, and a gravitational slingshot from Saturn on one end and the earth on the other. Moving material from orbit to the earths surface could be done with free-fall capsules or a space elevator. # 1 and 2 are time based, The infrastructure does not exist now but could be built.
All in all It should be doable in 100 to 150 years if we put our minds to it. That is with today’s tech and assuming that we will not invent anything new.
Everything changes over time and energy usage gets more efferent. Heck, 60 years ago a microwave weighed 750 lbs and took 1.6 kW to operate. 100 years ago cars got 13 mils per gal of gas and had a 20HP engine with a top speed of 40mph, today the microwave is 20lbs and uses 500w cars get 24+ mpg with a 300hp engine and top speeds of 150+ mph. Do you really think it will always be out of reach?
And rockets are the only way to get to orbit? or the only way to move between planets? There is not and will never be another way? Stop thinking of today and start looking down the road.
Thermodynamics has little to so with it. The earth is not a closed system. Heck, there is quantum evidence that universe is not a closed system.
Now, as to the economics, Things change. You are basing your hypothesis on the fact that the current economics will not support it and will not change. You accuse me of not looking distant enough but you are the one looking at your feet. There are many ways we could reduce the overall energy cost of putting stuff into and out of earth orbit, such as the space elevator, Magnetic launchers, etc, etc. Not to count the reduced energy costs of building ships in orbit (Man power wise) The availability of H3 on the moon, etc, etc, etc, etc. The universe is full of energy, we just need to tap into it.
As the world runs out of cheap chemical energy, the social model of continuous growth, suburbanisation, car culture and "jobs" requiring no more than typing away at a computer will have to change.
We'll start seeing innovations in how people will live.
I hate to break it to you but I have heard the same tripe for over 30 years. When the cheap gas runs out we will all change the way we live. I hate to break it to you but the way it works is that as gas prices go up, so does inflation. As inflation goes up, so do wages.
As oil prices go up, the incentive to find new and inventive ways to get at the remaining oil, goes up. This means that new methods enter the market and lower the price on the oil. With them comes new lower cost "Chemical energy" sources!
And lets not forget that Titan has whole oceans of "Chemical energy" just waiting for us, if the cost of local energy gets to the right point it will be economical to strip mine titan and ship it here. LOL "Earth first, well strip mine the other planets later"
The social change you are expecting will never happen. At least not in my lifetime or yours and probably never.
The last three I worked for told me I had to provide my own desktop system. It was part of there cost savings plan, Everyone brings in there personal laptop or desktop to work on. Saved the companies millions of $ in hardware and upgrade costs.
There is a problem with your comment. Humanity is an animal as well and the laws of 'survival of the fittest' do not cease to exist just because humanity is involved. Cats, dogs, and other breeds have created a symbiotic relationship with us. This relationship gives them an advantage over other species and provides them assess to new more fertile hunting grounds.
Humanity unable to stop survival of the fittest. Mother nature wins this round, but humanity still hopeful that they will be able to control the planets temperature.
It is not just musicians!
Anyone that has a hobby such as wood working, Glass blowing, Metal working, gun smithing, etc.etc.etc
Heck, I have a 1280 sq ft house in the burbs costing me around 800 a month. The area around my work is cheaper, a 1200 sq foot place would be about 500$ a month, however, there are shootings most days. Heck we have 8' fences, razor wire, and armed guards on the parking lot. You can keep your city, Ill keep my burbs.
Slashdot Mirror
Buy a boat load of Red Hat shares at 5$ a share :>
So lets outsource our ability to defend other countries. Why should they get a free defense department?
If they want our defense then they can help us pay to keep it a float.

and me with out mod points to mod you up! GREAT POINT and one missed by many

Or sell you a cook book on how to properly prepare and cook dog and you get a free puppy with every purchase.

I know the feeling, every time I see Libre I think of Nica Libre Cigars. Not a great cigar but enjoyable. Guess I am older than you lol
You dont have to blacklist the URL. Just strip all url's from any post tagged as TROLL. Should take care of the issue.
conflict of interest is more like it
