The birds would nest on it, then you'd need to hire someone to clean shit off the fans.
It'd be worth it just to see what they put as the job title on the ads for staff:-)
Their would be considerable enviromental impact of using that much material, theres many thousands if not millions of fans around by now that would need covers.
Go ahead biased mods, mod him down for being a complete donut.
Maybe there should be a new mod, -1 googletarded.
Searched pages from slashdot.org for linux exploit. Results 11 - 20 of about 1,580. Search took 0.39 seconds. (before you flame about 1/4 of these are duds/dupes, the rest still stand)
Not really. these guys sell 2mbit wireless internet connections for peanuts.
The only problem is its only available in deepest darkest cornwall. Seems a bit silly that a bunch of farmers and fishermen out in the back of beyond can get better internet than I can in the biggest city in the southwest of the UK!
What you say is true, but I've just switched from being a 4 year user of PC firewalls to a $50 ADSL router.
Why?
Because I will save so much on electric over the next year I can probably buy another computer at the end of it. Running a PC 24/7 will burn a not insignificant amount of electricity over a few months. The router can be turned off/on without waiting more than 5 seconds for it to connect up and doesn't give any problems to the non-techie people using it.
The only thing I'm missing from my linux firewall is the constant logs of windows viruses trying to infect me. I'm sure I can handle that. It is annoying having a much looser control over what the system is exactly doing, but all the needed features are there for home use.
I'd prefer some kind of embedded linux device that gave these advantages, but until one arrives I'll stick with the router.
Thats not the only problem, if it was just a single comment thread rolling over the page it would be easy enough to scroll past it....
Its not...using nested mode, go to any article with 400 or more posts, the 2nd page will be almost identical to the first except for the last 1/4 or so, and that last 1/4 will be on page 3.
I had assumed that nested mode didn't work well with whatever code calculates the offset from the limit on each page.
There are various other methods currently being researched, typing speeds/patterns is the main one that could be used here but its not really reliable enough currently. For a major project like debian implementing some kind of smartcards wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility (or budget anymore).
It is possible to limit break-ins like this using one of the varioussets of ACL's around.
I'm not sure I agree with the point that "its not about the OS being secure".....well the OS has users, who tend to do things like write their passwords down, lose them or get themselves socially engineered. A truly secure OS should take this into account and have appropriate measures to limit the damage such a user could do.
when a M$ compromise comes to light
You mean, "when Microsoft have no choice but to annouce a break-in". With the loss of share price such announcements would cause don't you think they'd just keep them quiet? The problem is that Joe Public, and Joe Ceo both think this means that they are more secure because CNN doesn't carry stories about them being hacked. This is a problem with society, not open or closed source.
I am not racist nor am I particularly pro-ID it just seems to me we already have it in various forms.
But if whats said by the poster above about the NI/DSS not working together is true then I'll admit to being wrong and having swallowed the spin on that one as that would be a much better solution to the problems currently being given as reasons for ID cards.
can you imagine the chilling effect of being forced to provide ID
Yes, our taxes will go down by large amounts because we will no longer be paying for thousands if not millions of illegals to live from the social system. The govt itself admits it has no clue how many are in the country.
If they don't make them mandatory for at least a short time then it won't actually solve the problems they're looking for.
If a policeman stops you on the street now all they have to do is come up with some reason to suspect you of *ANYTHING* and they can search you/demand ID. They can arrest you for just suspicion, and if this happens inside your house they can search without warrant.
The situation isn't going to change at all as far as UK citizens are concerned, not the legal ones anyway since most of those already carry ID cards, just not from a centralized source.
2. An internet router is required to suspend service for 1 hour in the case of a packet storm, where a packet storm is a series of packets from one IP to another IP utilizing 50% of the available bandwidth
Only problem is that makes it even easier to drop routers, and along with them ISPs & hosts.
Good egress filtering would be a start, pursuading the entire world to implement it is another matter. Even then you are going to have trouble avoiding a flood of geniune traffic, especially from a distributed network....how do you tell someone hasn't just linked your site from/.
A good windows firewall that ISP's could give away with their setup CD's would do the world a huge favour.
Surely anyone who can remember more than the last 10 years knows that the temperature is rising?
Its so blatent, every year here in the UK we get more and more extreme weather. The "hottest day on record" has happened just about every summer for at least the past 5 years running, each time a little hotter.
Also people who normally would avoid the tin-hat brigade by miles now believe that the UK govt is covering something up because they have seen how much the weather has changed over the last 30+ years.
I'm not saying pollution is the cause, but the effect is definately real. It does seem fairly obvious that if we screw with the atmospheric balances we are going to have big effects, however the warming *could* be down to variations in the Earths spin etc. It would be nice to see some real studies not funded by either the oil companies or Mr Murdoch tell us wtf is happening (is there anything global not under the thumb of these 2 parties?).
Whats it going to take? Is being efficient really going to kill our ecomonies that much? Or is it just not going to fill some fatcat directors pockets with cash quite so quickly.
The database structure is there ported to postgres.
Does compiere use any Oracle-specific SQL queries? If so it'll need some more work to update the application too.
I'm thinking that if they're asking for donations then the work is going to be more than just porting the database schema which would maybe only take an hour or two.
Why should any business or company be allowed to advertise in school, regardless of what their message is.
Besides what are they teaching the kids, that it doesn't matter if you make a load of worthless crap aslong as you have lawyers to back you up? yea great.
Certainly would explain a few other things that have happened lately.
Didn't you get all that stuff in school about how we were going to run out of gas/petrol/coal/etc in around 2002-2020. Strangely nobody has mentioned that in the last 5 years, that could well be because it was wrong or perhaps teachers were asked not to mention it for some reason.
Tinfoil aside I do think in general we have been getting more rampantly capitalist at any cost recently and its quite likely that these blackouts are caused by managing directors making bad decisions in order to extend their own wallets over the years. Everything else seems to be slowly getting cheaper and lower quality, its bound to bite us in the arse eventually.
"pint" already means "beer" really, pretty much everything else is sold in litres or gallons except for milk.
Whats more worrying is that you can ask for a pint of "wife beater" in most English pubs and they'll know exactly what you mean. I think we're moving away from the metric system and into a slang-based system.

On top of that it asks for your email address.
I smell spam.
That would cause hell for the IE only banking sites, great idea!

They don't/won't have to hold 250 million of you back. All they need to do is get a large proportion of those people to not care.
To spend most of their days zonked on anti-depressants.
To work such long hours they are too tired to care.
To have the main aims in their life being to spend money on various things and think that directly equates with life quality.
To be uneducated and not understand the political process, and therefore not care.
To be unenlightened, and not care.
To believe entirely in the major media outlets, all controlled by the same small group.
Problem is this kinda talk gets discounted as conspiracy theory and cannot be proven until its too late.
Wow! Look at that, a transport analogy for the internet and computers that isn't about cars! Thats got to be a first :)
:)
As a Brit and regular victim of the rail service here I'd suggest not using them as an analogy of anything you want to get better
If it did, you could just change a few html template files and bingo, site upgraded...
I thought all large web-apps used templating, it was about the first thing I learnt howto do when making them.
Seperate the presentation from the logic!

I thought that was searching through peoples dumpsters looking for information that "wants to be free" such as credit card slips/bank statements....
On reflection perhaps the anonymous button was a good one to press...
Until the door is opened we don't :-)

It got moderated by a sun reader.
no we shouldn't, because the first powered flight was by John Stringfellow in the UK in 1848.
The Wrights did do the first manned powered flight though.
