some people don't fix things because it would break other, more important things.
E.g.: I have a computer at work that runs win2k that I have yet to install SP2 on because SP2 is known to have issues with Novell (and we run a novell/AD network). We're trying to migrate away from novell, but as long as it's in use, I can't just break it for the sake of a "more secure" computer.
...and the reason it was called whitehouse is because it's a dig at an english censor/activist-type lady, Ms. Mary Whitehouse (now deceased, she used to ardently fight against "filth" on TV.) Pink Floyd name-checks her on a song on their album "Animals" and there's a shock-noise group by the same name.
because one site aimed at women did this? that's hardly conclusive evidence...unless you're using that wierd "female" logic, where everything male is automagically wrong. It's amazing to me that pop-ups still exist (for others...I use opera and moz exclusively, and I only run windows and mac machines) since they're so hated. It seems like advertising aimed at webmasters is the only thing about them that works -- otherwise I find it really hard to believe that they would still be in use.
mashed potato (home made is best but powdered works in a pinch.) 1 pkg frozen mixed veggies a fair amount of your favorite cheese paprika, salt and pepper to taste
prepare mashed potatoes and veggies according to directions on their respective packages, drain veggies and mix with potatoes. lay down a layer of the potatoe/veg mix in a casserole dish, then a layer of cheese, alternating until you top the dish (finish with a cheese layer). sprinkle some paprika on top of the cheese for color and a bit of taste and pop in the oven for long enough to melt the cheese.
sticks to your ribs, is good enough for the next day and works as a side dish or a main dish in it's own right.
anything by aphex twin, there's a recent "classics" collection, anything pre-"confield" by autechre (I would recommend "Amber" or "Tri-repetae++" or "Incunabula",) anything post-1990 by Coil, --check out their best-of collections "Golden Hair: A Guide for Beginners" and "Silver Voice: A Guide for Finishers" everything by Squarepusher (check out "Budokhan Mindphone") and plaid (try the peel sessions EP).
nobukazu takemura "sign" EP. A 2-CD EP, with the 2nd CD containing the awesome animated video for the song "Sign".
Anything by Matmos (like the new live album or "A Chance to Cut is a Chance to Cure"...made entirely from samples of plastic surgery.)
Almost anything by The Orb (UFOrb, Cydonia, Orbus Terrarum, Toxygene are all excellent) and Orbital's "the box" EP or "Snivilisation" albums are best (although everything except their new one is top-notch). If you EVER get a chance, catch Orbital live; it is an experience not to be missed. They headlined Lollapalooza for a reason (same year as Tool, too.)
"Stay Down" or "Virus With Shoes" by 2 Lone Swordsmen
"Fear of Fours" by Lamb
check some of the online resources like lomechanik.net and consider downloading some tracks from soulseek or a similar service.
As far as a lot of the Warp artists go, their Peel Sessions stuff is GREAT! (aphex, autechre plaid all come to mind). Warp used to be fantastic but has recently been putting out SHIT (Gallo's album comes to mind).
Avoid Josh Wink like the goddamn plague (ditto Moby).
Also, check out Autoplate Records a free web-only record label. Some good stuff for free.:)
You don't need a processor upgrade, you can install os 9.22 on anything prior to g3 if you:
run a program to change the mach # of the machine so that the installer thinks it is running on one of the "acceptable" machines
copy the system folder over, keeping some things and throwing away others
and even then, it's not true OS9, since you'll have some of the enhancements of the upgrade but keep some of 9.1.
Since all that is really necessary to do it is to fool the installer, that means it's not a real hardware issue and that Apple could, but didn't want to do it -- AT ALL; there's not even an unsupported OS upgrade available for pre-g3 machines.
What exactly is your point? You whine about Apple's restrictions, and then point out that they are entirely circumnavigatable. Either you can or you can't, end of story.
I am bitching because Apple is deliberately depriving customers of some improvements so that they can nudge them towards upgrades. It's not impossible but it's not anywhere near as easy as Apple's other upgrades, and in fact, would not have been possible at all except for people hacking installers and programs to change the machine #. An unsupported upgrade option would not cause them grief and would not have been that hard to do.
That's not entirely true. Everything on a Mac is upgradeable except for the motherboard.
If you think that's true, try installing Mac OS 9.22 on anything before a G3. You can... but it takes hacking and you can really really really bork your system to the point of having to reinstall the OS -- and you'd have to look stuff up on mac fan sites on how to do it and what applets to run to switch the machine's ID so that it can fool the installer app into allowing the install to proceed.
Which means that this is a restriction placed on the computer through the install daemon. Why? just for the fuck of it. And I guess that Apple decided that OS 9.2 was just a *TAD* too much for my 8500. (OS X won't run on anything but G3 and after (and actually it won't run on the first G3 either,) but that might actually be a hardware thing, since it runs slow as frozen honey on anything that's not fast to begin with.) Hardware upgrades are almost always possible, but the selling point of Macs is the software (and the fact that it won't run on anything other than Apple hardware.)
"Yeah there is. You fight back. No holes barred type of fighting too. If you can catch him in the act, do shit , like ping floods. It's effective in cutting bandwidth 1 way."
I am pretty sure you mean No holds barred unless we're talking about radically different types of fighting.
http://mbm.livewiredev.com/ has the programs. they're for windows...motherboard monitor keeps you informed of the temp (and you can set it to email you if your equipment hits a certain temp or something) and you can also set it to trigger ShutDownNow (linked from that site above)...which will do the shutdown routine for Windows.
Zimmerman has a lot of balls asking someone to do what he wouldn't when he had the chance. It's a shame, but it's shameless the way he's going about this.
For a good read w/r/t Crypto in general (including Zimmerman and some of his past,) check out Stephen Levy's book Crypto. It is excellent.
it probably doesnt matter much to you if you are in an office/business/netowrk that doesn't require politics but any big business or univeristy requires that you be if not socialloy skillfull, at least adequate....telling a stupdi user that he is being, well, stupid will stop your career/job very quickly indeed if that stupid user is a dean or VP or something. this is a very underrated aspect of geekiness.
and he's very much a good businessman and artist. he was ahead of the herd with musical styles and fashions and he's very likely right on this one as well. of course, he's in a position to not care that much, since he's got control of his back catalogue, a huge fanbase, other businesses (bowienet, etc) and lots of unreleased stuff in the can just waiting for a boxset release.
"The NSA is spying, and trying to get better at it."
Well, duh. That's what the NSA does. Good article on a GREAT book about the NSA. Heard the author speaking on NPR a while ago, which drove me to pick up the book. Excellent, excellent book.

This does not make it OK, or a "lesser" offense. If you really think so, lend me your credit card number for 15 minutes, I'd like a new Mac myself.
I was pretty surprised to hear that MS had a security chief once too.

Haven't you got that email about how to refill your ink cartidges cheaply? It's all I get in my hotmail accounts.
It's bad enough people are sharing music and movies over the net, the last thing we need is people to start sharing themselves online!
