Cedar Point by the way, has more like 30+ roller coasters. That have something like 14 of the world's top 20 largest roller coasters.
And actually, maybe that was Fortran IV, and 77 got rid of the rediculousness of that, around the same time that Basic complilers started showing up in which you no longer need line numbers.
Remember writing Basic programs line by line, and you'd realize you needed to insert some code. So you would issue the command:
renumber 100
It was silly, but at the time, I thought it was a major advancement over good ol Fortran.
The Linksys PCI card works pretty darn well on my box under Win98. Of course, part of that is that the CD rom that came with the card was for Windows and had no linux support.
But apparently, even if the model is new, the chip is fairly common.
In fairness to the topic, I'll take back what I said about wireless. Because, I really wasn't ranting on device support.
In all, I'd have to say it is excellent.
I was ranting on security. If you're new to OpenSSH, it aint easy to use from the install get go, though, sshd is installed and setup sort of.
RedHat has made great strides in the user-friendly install... At least making easy for Windows users to "try out its features".
The problem is, so much of the strong reasons for switching to Linux (aka security) are hard to realize in a user friendly sort of way.
For instance, getting OpenSSH up and running to integrate a Windows box to be able to ftp from/to the secure Linux install takes alot of work, and fishing around. It's an immediate turn-off.
Then there's wireless networking. Oh by the way, you have to become a kernel compile afficianado to get these wireless drivers workers.
If we're talking RedHat/ here and security in the same breath, then why not focus on a user friendly install for security. Including a side howto on how to possibly go get Putty up and running. And how you're going to need to generate your keys with ssh-keygen type 2 rsa and then load them into puttygen which will convert them. And oh by the way, the converted private key will also work under SecureNetTerm. Don't forget something like this for your private keys in you $home/.ssh dir:
chmod 600 id_rsa cp id_rsa authorized_keys2
It wasn't that easy, but it should be, and it could be.
I really don't want to slashdot effect the local news services I'm using.
I keep getting calls from loved ones. They're really worried for my life.
I'm North of Wash D.C. in the Maryland burbs of Montgomery county.
Some of the staff from today's meeting dialed in on the bridge so as to limit their travel.
Guns are hard to come by around here. I sure wish I was packing heat right now!
A couple items:
1. No pattern as to killings, they span race, age, sex.
2. It may be two guys driving around in a van.
Conclusions:
There seem to be few conclusions to draw. Usually these types of shootings have a pattern... Like, if it's a lunatic, then it's usually only a single person. When it's more than one person, there's usually a conspiracy to murder certain individuals, whether it be gang related, race related, etc. etc.
One can't help to wonder if this related to Islamic terrorists.
I guess it helps that I used as very long passphraze on my private key??????
Still, you aint gonna hack my box!!!!????!!!????
Maybe I better just try security through obscurity???
Just got OpenSSH Protocol 2 RSA working...

I'm using putty (development version) to connect from a Win box to a linux box.
I'm glad I'm using 1024bit encryption. They've worked so hard to do 64 bit. But each additional bit is a redoubling in the amount of computing power it's going to take to decrypt my packets. Good luck!
I've only got port 22 port fowarded from my router.
Just got my gnutella server back up and running over the weekend. I went to get the latest version of gnut (A terminal mode linux client/server) and see that it's not listed under www.gnutelliums.com
I was actually able to get the source from my previous istallation, re-compile on the newer Linux kernel and was up and running.
I didn't have any problems finding some stuff.
I log into my home Linux box running gnut through OpenSSH from work using Putty. I've got gnut running in "Screen" so I reattach to the screen. It's really cool. I can start a search or a download from work, then get home 1/2 later and listen to the song and whatnot.
gnutella is a free for all dude. There's no discrimination in what it is for. I've gotten some great junk from all over the worl with gnut.
We had just brought in a bunch of dot-com reject sys admins.
Suddenly you hear everyone talking about the NAMBLA virus. Seriously, it was a spoonerism, or whatever. But everyone was running around blaming NAMBLA. Finally we realized it was NIMDA.
Turns out there was a dude that got smoked out because he had kiddie porn on his PC. We just fired him. But if it weren't for this virus, we'd wouldn't have had the witch hunt that found this perv.
No, I didn't recommend the Wash Times, but, as you said, it's an alternative for conservatives.
The point is, The Wash Times doesn't call itself Fair and Balanced. They are conservative, and call themselves conservative. They present a conservative viewpoint for sure and don't call it moderate, unlike the Washington Post.
Also, why was my previous post modded down to Flaimbait?
They wanted to blame the asthma on industrial particulates, when in truth, the leading cause of asthma in the inner cities has been clearly shown to be Roach droppings.
Really? Is this the scientific concensus? That's news to me.
The one I'm referring to is the one in which the increased mortality was due to increased asthma.

Don't read the Post anymore. It's a waiste of time. If you're slightly conservative and live in the DC area, it'll give you heartburn knowing that you are around about 4 Million people (Balti-Wash) that read the post and think it's actually a fair and balanced reporting daily. Nothing could be further from the truth. The guys read it because of the sports section, but every now and then will venture into other areas. Even their business section mixes in socialistic propoganda type articles. It's disgusting. Thank god of the internet.
The ladies read it because it has the best advertisement circulars on Sundays. Don't want to miss out on all the shoe sales!
There's nothing wrong at all with a newspaper being liberal. It's just when it won't admit it that I have a problem with it.
Or how about during the Clinton administraction's EPA head Carol Browner basically fudged a study on particulates. The test case was five cities. They were measuring the health problems due to particulates. Turns out that they could only positive data in two of the five cities. So, what to they do? They throw out two of the cities as if they didn't even study them. They post their conclusion that: 66% of inner city children are dying from particulates.
There really is something to the "Junk Science" theory. Once you get political policy involved, and dollars, you get a bunch of junk!
In my original post when I said I was a coward, it was more a Rhetorical statement... "Am I a coward?" "I really don't know until faced with the decision of giving up my life for my countrymens' freedom."
I'm not going to go out of my way right now to find out, I feel I have too much to live for. But, I would probably be willing to take calculated risks. I always need some decent odds of survival.
I would really not like to be part of a suicide attack brigade.
There are all sorts of fitting quotes...
"Live to see tomorrow",
"Those who run away today, live to fight another day",
"That which does not kill me makes me stronger"
and then there's
"Duty, Honor, Country".... My original point can be summed up as, "What (Place you civil right here) does one enjoy in death".
Don't forget this when you go out and cry, "My civil rights are diminished...."
Life means, we have a right to be secure. It's the job of our govt. to enforce this right.
Liberty is second to life but above all others. What kind of liberty does a dead-man enjoy?
Happiness is third. I can't be that happy if I have to worry about terrorism killing a loved one and I'm not free (liberated).
All the other Civil Rights pale in comparison Life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. They are merely derived from these three. They're hardly even honorable mentions compared to these three, but I'll mention some of them, (Privacy, Speech, Association, Expression, Religion).
That's what I'm thinking about and I'm also reflecting on this question.
What am I willing to die for?
Not much as I'm a coward (though not anonymous).
I think, however, I'm willing to die for my family. Hopefully, I'll never have the chance to prove this.
With that said, I'm in awe at our armed servicemen. I find in inconceivable that they are willing to die for me. They deserve my greatest respect.
Why write an article the starts out meaty with the faux FBI arrest, but then continues to admit that his "arguments" are as of yet well formed.
The article ends up malformed as well, jumping all over the place. It's not news really, just re-hashed stuff, mixed in a little bit with the Popular Science genre.
Really, I'd expect much more from the Economist. Gee, should we really force electronics makers to build chips that are easier to tinker with? Hell0! These things are etched into silicon. That's how they got so fast.
Somebody had a deadline to reach, but they spent to much time catching up on Eastenders.
