If it's about choice, then how come the only choice you consider rational is if everyone follows what is YOUR choice?
You see, that's not choice at all. Choice means allowing people to make their own decisions.
If I want to drive a hummer getting 8 MPG, that's my choice. If you don't like it, too bad - but don't be a socialist and try and force your views on me.
If you want to protect a tree, that's your choice - but if you really want to protect it, go legally buy the land the frigging tree is on - put your money where your mouth is.
Is clearcutting a good thing? Hell no, it sucks and should be stopped. You see, the answer is never in the extremes.
Even more, if these people really believe in what they do, why don't the put their money where their mouth is.
Have you ever noticed that most of the environazies want to protect the forest, but they want the goverment, or somebody else to pay for it? That's just wrong.
Compare this to the Nature Conservancy. When these folks want to save some land, they raise the money to legally purchase the land so they can manage it.
Contrast that with these logging protesters. These people only believe in their ideology up to where they have to pay for it. How come you don't see them purchasing the trees they want to save? Makes you wonder if they really want to save the trees, or just get alot of media attention.
If these folks ante up to legally purchase the property so they can protect these trees - I say go for it! But if the logging companies own the trees, they have the legal right to do with the trees what they will. What makes anyone think that someone who doesn't own the property and is probably illegally trespassing has more rights than the legal owner?
This is socialism. Can anyone really argue that these people are NOT commie environazies?
This is just so wrong! My home/personal email account has received maybe 5 spam in 3 years.
At work I receive anywhere from 10-50 per day - before filtering (where I can, one of my address is straight into a M$ exchange server which I can procmail on).
Why the robot? Seems to me, they could just install a cooling module where needed and let onboard thermal management decide when to send the thing a pulse to spray.
This should come as no surprise to anyone who's ever done a sysadmin stint.
I remember reading an article on this in an old DEC Ultrix-32 manual, so went digging thru my boxes of old manuals and found it in "Supplementary Documents - Volume III - Systems Manager" (First Printing, May 1984). The article itself is "Password Security: A Case History" written circa 1979 by Robert Morris and Ken Thompson. You can find it easily enough in Google, but to summarize their findings:
3289 passwords were audited.
15 were 1 char.
72 were 2 chars. 464 were 3 chars. 477 were 4 chars. 706 were 5 chars all upper or lower case. 605 were 6 chars all lower case. 492 were dictionary words.
So, 86% of all passwords were insecure.
Back in a previous life as a systems administrator I saw similar results in running Crack on ~600 users.
Even so, being fascist usually requires opening up a few extra common HTTP ports such as 8000 and 8080. So just fire up another sshd on port 8000 or 8080 on your offsite machine, and this will often get around it.
I used to be a big Secure-CRT fan, but the latest releases of Putty provide about everything Secure-CRT does, and for about $90 cheaper.
I've found Putty interoperates better with OpenSSH 3.0 than Secure-CRT - at least versus SCRT version 3.1. This may be better in 3.4, but Van Dyke wants upgrade fees, so...
I also have a problem with the way Van Dyke forces you to pay upgrade fees - The 3.1 version I purchased from them won't even install anymore, it says it has expired. It's OK to charge for software upgrades, but it's wrong to disallow use of older versions!
Free for non-commercial use, the Windows ssh client at ssh.com is pretty decent and polished.
And there's always TeraTerm Pro. It used to be better than Putty, but recent builds of Putty have turned that around, IMHO. I believe TT supports only SSH1, and not SSH2.
As an example, recent Putty versions support port forwarding, SSH2 DSA keys, and agent forwarding. And as always, it has a very small footprint.
Lastly, iXplorer is a nice Windows GUI dropped on top of pscp/plink for secure (SCP) file transfers.
Someone has registered a domain name that we used to own
If you no longer own it, then you no longer own it. Period. Whether or not it was registered by the other party in good or bad faith is irrelevant if it's no longer yours.
In other words: The original owners of the domain should have made the payments to keep it registered.
No CVS? Sure it does... sort of...

Java IDEs?

Want to use CVS with slickedit? On win32 just use Igloo. Or just use the command line, it's not so bad once you get it set up right.
VisualSlickEdit. While not technically an IDE, it's trivial to wire in external tools such as ant.
I also use TogetherControlCenter, but once I move from design to coding that environment is too slow, cumbersome, and resource intensive.
SlickEdit/ant is especially nice when deploying EJBs. TogetherCC and VisualCafe take a couple of minutes to deploy an EJB jar. ant does it in 5 seconds.

I know this was meant to be funny, but it's a very interesting thought. Sort of like the off-shore hosting companies, but taken several steps further.
Of course latency would always be an issue for something in space, but for a streaming protocol...

I really thought /. would be above pandering to liberal environazis. Give me a break, you commie bastards!

We do this all the time with VMWare on big GSX/ESX servers. Not that many DIFFERENT OS's, just that many of them.
He could probably count each JDK as an OS too.
We've been running them for maybe 5 years or so - RS64, RS64II, RS64III, etc.
Why the robot? Seems to me, they could just install a cooling module where needed and let onboard thermal management decide when to send the thing a pulse to spray.
This is great for getting around the corporate firewall so I can once again browse porn on company time! Woohoo!
Hmmm... That's like saying it's OK for a convicted child molester to go work in a school once out of prison. Think about it...
Hey, how come that space keeps getting inserted in there? Odd...

In other words - Nothing has changed in 23 years!
Agreed. Aluminum Oxide being transparent is non-news - that's what they've been coating laminate florring with for years. Yawn.
In other non-news, an amazing discovery has been made on how to make water nearly transparent!
Here's a thought. What if this is already included in WinXP. Maybe that's part of the 'punishment' in the justice department's deal with MicroSnot.
Would you put it past MS to work such a deal with the government in exchange for an easy anti-trust settlement? Hmmm...
