Yeah, much better to live in the real world, where kids at school spit on you, athletics is rewarded and clever problem-solving despised, and you are considered a waste of skin. Enduring these painful years with a good dose of fantasy until you leave to go to college should be forbidden. Freaking nerds...I think I'll go flush that idiot Melvin's head down the toilet again, I saw him with a smile on his face in the hall before second period.
Typical linux idiocy..."Waah waah Solaris is hard, it doesn't ship with GNU utilities...let's replace it with linux."
This isn't flamebait - this is the real attitude! I've seen it dozens of times, if someone is used to linux, they'll never like Solaris, due to Solaris' emphasis on the kernel and OS, rather than spending time on a nicety-nice administrator environment. Say what you want, you can drop a ton of bricks on a Solaris box and it absolutely will not go down. They're real machines, without niceties, intended for real work, and real men work on them. Flame away.
God forbid anyone should design their own site...such things should be left to professionals. HTML is deprecated, the web needs to move to exclusively Flash content in order to preserve sanity, as well as good-paying jobs. Indeed, legislation should be enacted that only allows properly licensed individuals to produce and publish web content, as the great unwashed masses have proven criminially incompetent at doing so.
The rest of the show sucked, however. The "Hand of God" promptly ran into a ditch and stayed there. They had an extremely tasteless mockup of the U.T. Tower, complete with murderer at the top, to which they set fire. They had some sort of walking robot, which didn't walk very well. If it wasn't for the Tesla coil, I would have felt very ripped off.
Worked really well in Afghanistan, Somalia, Albania, Zimbabwe, and others.
Now, run along and play, or we'll have to airdrop you and Chomsky into downtown Gonaives, and you two can try to explain Bakunin and Kropotkin to the natives, and why an absence of rule is a good thing.
The Gnutella developers see their mission as bringing a new, revolutionary network protocol to the masses. Something on the level of a new HTTP.
The Asia-based Qtraxmax developers see their mission as getting as many software(spyware?) installs as possible, through promising a superior user experience, and they would cheerfully destroy the network to do so.
Obviously, the solution is a new Gnutella option, defaulting to "on", that says "deny resources to abusive clients".
They had those on BBS's. They sucked. Unethical people uploaded trash files for credit. And the rest of us, frankly, ran out of quality files to upload after a while.

You were OK with hiring these people at such a miserable wage? Why didn't you pay them for real? $11 per hour for instance? Western cheapskate.
I lived in Playa del Rey, near the seaside, and nobody I ever visited had AC in their apartment. You probably live in the valley, or OC, and I'm sure all the houses there have AC and other such power-hungry conveniences. It's just you live in a rich area and likely don't get out much to the other parts of the city. I went all over L.A., but rarely to the suburbs.
Uh, the truth is, spammers lie. Insinuating that spammers are innocent businessmen is a distortion of the truth. This kind of wide-eyed, purposefully ignorant "reporting" is a big problem, even if you are uber-cool enough to have interviewed murderers, politicians, and rapists.
Wow...thanks...I love when someone answers my request with a worthless link and mindless chatter. Yours is the most useful reply I've received on slashdot in months. Thanks for the link!
Here's the press release the FBI issued. As you would expect from the FBI, the release is riddled with inaccuracies. The company pulled the $350,000 number out of thin air...outages were extremely common. They also say he gained unauthorized access, which is a total lie. The case can be looked up at the usual places, for those interested in more.

Well, I wouldn't be so quick. I recently testified in a federal case in which the defendant was accused of nothing more than sending email. The server he was sending mail to had an absolutely awful design, it crashed due to the small volume, and the defendant found himself in court accused of "accessing a remote system to do damage", a 5-year rap. It seems but a small step from sending email to sending hits.
Uh, they helped the terrorists maybe? Nah, it was a coincidence that Mohammed Atta met with a senior Iraqi government official. Goodness knows Iraq has no reason to hate the U.S. and even less reason to use a proxy to launch an attack.
Maybe you were in a cave or a bio-dome in the days after September 11, 2001? The DoW has been made, and it's all nice and legal. From thomas.loc.gov:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. DECLARATION OF WAR.
Pursuant to Article 1, section 8 of the United States Constitution, the Congress hereby declares that a state of war exists between the United States and--
(1) any entity that committed the acts of international terrorism against the United States on September 11, 2001, or commits acts of international terrorism against the United States thereafter; and
(2) any country or entity that has provided or provides support or protection for any entity described in paragraph (1).
The President is hereby authorized and directed to employ the entire naval and military forces of the United States and the resources of the United States Government to carry on war against such entities and countries, and the Congress hereby pledges all the resources of the United States Government in order to bring the conflict to a successful termination.
IIRC bin Laden used Clinton's disastrous Somalia adventure as the case study that the supposedly invicible American military could be defeated by political means. It led directly to greater support, more sympathizers, etc.

In the year 2002, an "old TV" is one manufactured in 1993-96.

I always thought getting Peter Cushing for that role was a masterstroke. Too bad he barely spoke two lines in the whole movie.

Just giving back to you what you gave to me. GIGO.

How about just a link to your page? That would make it much easier for me.

Bzzt wrong. Perhaps businesses have AC, but it was rare for me to find a residence that did.
