Is the ad injection simply a function of DNS? That seems to be all the more reason to *not* use your ISPs name servers. I don't use mine, that's for sure.
I happen to work for an ISP, not one I can use from home. I use the DNS servers at work from my crapy cable connection. I also encrypt most of my traffic, even harmless web browsing. I just don't trust my crappy cable company. That's fine for me, but not fine for someone who doesn't work for an ISP.
I know you're not supposed to run your own namesevers (that query the root servers) because it loads the roots, but what else can you do to avoid using your crappy ISP servers?
(... of course, my questions are completely irrelevant if they're also proxying http or something. I suspect it's a function of DNS though.)
But it's complete BS... You can use PGP to *sign* documents. Encrypting is optional. You can do both. In some implementations you can actually do neither... odd.
But, at the end of the day (where the rubber meets the road) this will utilize the core competencies of solutions that specialize in the new ||ism forefront.
That's false to a certain extent. NWN1 was a success in every sense of the word and the linux port was a free add on. I was able to install it under every linux platform I tried to install it under. The secret is to statically compile the required libs or provide the.so files from the shared libs. Done.
It wasn't even tricky. Why doesn't NWN2 work under linux? Because MS talked them into porting it to directx so they could later port it to the 360... that is all.
Concerning Commercial releases, I have purchased most of them. $$$ is the only vote you have that actually counts, may as well send some to the EFF and some to the games you like...
But there just aren't very many games to buy. Loki gave us a few, so did Atari. If you wanna play the coolest new things, they're only available for windows or perhaps the xbox 360. In fact, the xbox 360 may be part of the reason nwn2 sucks and/or doesn't play under linux. Eff that game.
The question, "why aren't there more linux gamers" is spurious. The question is: why aren't there more linux games!! The answer is like HD content and HD TVs. Who goes first? Do they make games for you to buy and then encourage you to buy them or do you buy them and encourage them to make them for the platform you like.
I'm aware it's made no difference at all. But when I buy a game, I make sure to write a note on the registration card that I'd much rather have bought the linux SDL/OpenGL version and I'd even have paid a premium to do so.
Personally, I find the idea that Astrology has anything to do with anything (in the literal sense) to be completely ridiculous.
It sure does seem to be accurate in some cases though. I enjoy it and I consume and process it even though I'm completely aware of how ludicrous it really is. Any system that's sufficiently complex will seem to have meaning. It's the human condition.
Should you date someone that "believes" in it? It's no more silly than believing a Prophet died for your sins 2000 years ago and is deeply concerned about your private sexual morality. I say, date the Astrologer. They're probably literate and that's pretty good.
Do they even pretend the represent the people of the united states anymore? or do they express frankly that they're for sale to the highest corporate bidder?
Dunno, it's been a while since I've used any rpms (I never really got over it when redhat abandoned everyone); but I find the debian repos have an awful lot of awesome in them. They have crypto sigs that cover md5/sha1 and sha256 hashes and the sigs describe the whole dang repository efficiently.
Does yum have that? I literally don't know, but I doubt it. Why? Probably because they abandoned me and I just don't expect much. Also *BEEP* redhat. I mean that very sincerely.
If the NSA had a working (but very expensive) quantum computer... would they mention it? Doubtful. They could certainly afford it, even if it cost 1million dollars to run for a couple hours.
Ubuntu needs to get bit torrent (or any other distributed p2p sharing actually) for things like the update manager and apt-get . It may already do it, I don't really know for sure, but I doubt it. Personally I'd throw 500KB/s at it if it were possible to do so. I sit on a bunch of distro.isos at that rate from work and my boss is cool with it.
Anyway, when I excitedly upgraded ubuntu to 7.10 on my laptop last friday, it took some 6 hours to download everything and it seemed a little silly since there's plenty of people like me that would willingly share some spare upstream.
If people complete various "hard" problems on quantum computers then the non-people at the NSA can probably afford to throw two billion (or whatever) at it to crack ALL MODERN ENCRYPTION that doesn't use quantum devices for keys.

I'm sure he doesn't spend a month trying... he just happened to spend the one minute required to crack your WEP a month later. He'll get past your "MAC lock" (just a guess) too next time he drives by. It's a registry hack in windows and "ifconfig" in linux to swap your mac with one you heard in the air, match a sequence number and kick the correct computer right how...
Hopefully this will make the contracts less attractive as a whole.
Seriously, can you think of any other service industry like this? power, cable, phone, trash pickup, isp, hosting provider, magazine subscription,...
Sure, sometimes you'll see a special rate that only applies if you continue the service for a fixed period, but why is that you cannot get cell service at all without the contract? (Well, I suppose there are those shitty prepaid networks.)
Something is completely flawed with the whole setup. If they made it so people could get off shitty networks within 30 days, three things would happen: 1) all the services would have to do a better job, 2) all the rates would come down, 3) we'd all have to actually start paying for our $400 phones after they gave up on the whole contract model.
Oh, yeah, Vista is famous for it's backwards compatibility these days; particularly with it's drivers, internets and multimedia applications. Those are known to work flawlessly and without intentional downgrades in quality and so on.
Perhaps in some places, but certainly not at the telco where I work. All the lines were installed by the construction workers employed the telco where I work. The taxes account for over half the phone bill, but we don't get get anything out of it.
I doubt many of the lines are actually owned by tax payers. I'm sure that's the case in some places, but I would guess most of it is privately owned and privately paid for.
Sadly yes. Last time I went to buy hand soap for home, of the two dozen different brands and sub-brand products on the shelf, only TWO were not antibacterial.
This is particularly irritating for those of us that are allergic to triclosan. It's in all soap and all deoderent these days.
A district attorney from Imnotsayingwhere Michigan once told me that if you get pulled over and know you're drunk the best thing to do is sprint into the woods and drop your keys while you run.
You'll get arrested for fleeing and assorted jackassery, but they won't be able to prove you were driving the car and so you won't get a DUI or a reckless driving. Staying out of civil court has benefits, particularly when the civilian penalties are harder to fight than the criminal ones.
I'm not sure if cameras in the cars change that at all, but I suspect it does not.

Oh, I see now. I read that backwards.
I compulsively correct the misconception that java is somehow related to javascript about once per week.
Javascript on their resumes have no clue it is anything but a Java clone.)
Um, not it isn't. It's ECMA and doesn't relate to java in any way. That was just a bad naming co-incidence.

I claim that I am definitely an authority on behavior analysis. I haven't taken any classes on it, but I definitely am.
Do something about it. Seriously. Go.

Welcome to my sig.
(I'm posting this part because the lame "lameness" filter won't let me post a direct quote.)
Concerning your sig, "Restore liberty and democracy to this country. Vote for Ron Paul [ronpaulhq.com]"...
I'd like to point out that he'd like to restore the republic and wrote something to the effect that democracy is a problem, not a solution: http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2003/cr012903.htm
Disclaimer: I make no claim to be for or against RP, but he seems clear on that point at least.
For now anyway.

Dude, Clinton lied about BJ. We can't have people that LIE in POWER. Seriously.
