zero driver crap because almost no hardware is supported:))
i have a mini. it's really sluggish, apple cut a lot of corners to fit into that little box. it's painful as a desktop machine, and just barely adequate for a compile box.
the mini is one slow box. i have one. doesn't matter what OS you put on it, it's going to be sluggish. apple cut a lot of corners shoehorning what they did into the mini.
i use it mainly for crossplatform OSX builds of my projects, it's pretty miserable as a daily use desktop machine. i just start a compile going and then go out and eat dinner somewhere. when i get back it's just about finishing.
still, it's faster than the epias. which isn't really saying much.:P
It's just like... OK... that's cool that you're on the DNC list, but we're still legally allowed to call you. So since you have no idea what you're talking about and just hung up on us, we're just going to call you again. I hope acting like an ass hole was worth it.
so basically, you called someone who did not want to receive a call from you, he told you he did not want to receive a call from you. so you are going to call him again.
fucking retard.
you personify perfectly everything that is wrong with telemarketing.
you should work as a telemarketer for the rest of your life. you really deserve it.
Just like the no-fax laws, telemarketers simply don't care. I've received endless calls from for-profit companies with falsified and blocked CID. When I tell them I am on the federal DNC list and that their call is a violation, they basically tell me the DNC list is meaningless and they will do whatever they want.
And they do. They know law enforcement doesn't care.
I'm fed up with it, so I'm working on setting up a PBX with asterisk. The aim will be that my phone won't even ring unless the caller enters a correct password. All other calls will be sent to auto-voicemail. That unique password will only be given to people who _need_ to contact me, and will be unique for each caller so it's traceable in case someone decides to "share" it.
I might even try implementing telecrapper 2000 into asterisk. Telemarketers give consumers the finger, might as well give them the finger back.
grsecurity and pax are different approaches than selinux.
selinux attempts to limit the impact of breaches, grsecurity and pax attempt to block them from even being possible in the first place.
selinux is useful for restricting logical attacks such as php/perl/etc breaches via apache, whereas grsecurity/pax prevent binary code injection attacks, kernel rootkits, etc. grseurity/pax won't prevent php attacks.
So what happens when microsoft / sco start poisoning linux / opensource torrents? Seems a pretty obvious and effective tactic to me -- i'm suprised they haven't done it already. Just imagine your latest fedora or debian download turns out to be 4gb of goatse.cx courtesy of steve ballmer.
Early games you were involved with mostly seemed to revolve around realtime military simulations of one kind or another (Nato Commander, Silent service, F-15 strike eagle, F-19 steath fighter, Gunship, M-1 tank platoon, Red storm rising). Around 1991-1993 there seems to have been a sudden shift of focus to turn-based strategy games like Railroad Tycoon and Civilization.
Microsoft was able to "pull the plug" on the antitrust trial because there were lots and lots of people that had a fundamental problem with punishing Microsoft simply because it had been successful.
If you think the sole reason the trial existed is to punish microsoft for being successful, you are mistaken. It's not the fact they are successful but the methods they used.
It's the same as the mafia being prosecuted not because they make lots of money, but because they break people's legs and shoot them in the head.
Microsoft is the mafia of the software industry. It's left a trail of broken legs and dead bodies to the moon and back.
The reason microsoft got the plug pulled is because of their political monetary contributions, the case took a 180 degree turn in attitude after bush got into office. It's as if the federal government was prosecuting mobsters, then suddenly dropped the case the very minute a new president got into office.
The case being dropped has emboldened microsoft -- they now have total confirmation they can get away with anything they want and there will be zero consequences.
They can always pull a "software audit" on Massachussetts.
All they have to do is ensure the cost of an audit will cost more than it would to force massachussetts to buy microsoft products.
They've done it before and they will do it again. It's the ultimate weapon, and it's very effective.
And since when has microsoft cared about the law anyway? They got off easily by ordering the bush administration to pull the plug on the antitrust trial.
the monorail was also supremely expensive, for what it provided. it's sort of like the space needle. you do it once for the experience, and never again.
What I expect will happen is that microsoft will continue their criminal behavior and make Massachusetts an "offer they can't refuse". And Massachusetts will quietly drop their opendocument requirement without any announcement and without any debate.
if the feds really want the right to forcibly collect dna evidence, then the feds should be forcibly prohibited from blocking admission of defense dna evidence in trials.
it also turns each star in multi-star systems into planets, in systems where stars orbit each other.
what about systems where there is no star, only a gas giant or other non-star massive object? would such a system have no planets at all under your definition?

I click on your mp3car.com link and get "product not found".
your link results in "product not found"
looks like they don't carry it anymore.

*57 does nothing for dealing with offshore (canada, vanuatu, mexico, etc) call centers who forge CID. they're basically untouchable.

Seems to me that poisoning linux / opensource torrents would be a great weapon for microsoft. Or sco.
What happens when microsoft starts seeding poisoned linux / opensource torrents?
Seems the obvious thing to do, for a company like microsoft.

specific examples
four cases
Police and prosecutors blocked all attempts at DNA testing while Johnson was alive
prosecutors blocked dna testing of hair
prosecutors have successfully blocked the testing of DNA before an execution and then fought posthumous tests just as vigorously.
Why did the DA stop new DNA tests ?

No, I don't think so.
