See, now that Firefox is successful, they have to go and add new things in it to justify further development and therefore their jobs.
Here's a novel idea... Write a piece of software, make it work and be bug-free, then STOP. Declare success and move on to something else.
Instead, it sounds like you have Mozilla developers planning to do the exact same thing they and everyone else criticizes Microsoft for - adding bloat.
True, "Israel's Jewish character" may become a thing on the past and Jews will have to learn to live side-by-side with muslims and see their children enter mixed marriages.
If anything, it's the Israelis who are more likely (I'm not saying they want to, just more likely) to be able to learn live side-by-side with the muslims than the other way around. Simply put, no muslim group of any size has ever given any hint that it is willing or able to do what you suggest.
Make me PM of israel and i'll stop the rocket attacks over night. just pull out of all the territory they invaded in the 70's.
this is the solution, and the ONLY solution that will end the violence.
First of all, it was the late 60's, not the 70's. Second, you conveniently forget that it was the Arabs (Egypt, Jordan, Syria) who provoked Israel by placing some 100k troops on the border and blocked Israel from the Red Sea. What was Israel supposed to do other than pre-emptively attack?
Then after getting an ass-kicking which they provoked, how ironic for the Arab states to complain about the plight of the Palestinians. The problem is that none of the Arab nations in the Middle East give a damn about the Palestinians. They're just being used by the surround Arab nations.
I have to agree, but I'll also point out that going by quite a bit of the propaganda on the Palestinian side says that there won't be any peace until all Israelites are 'pushed into the sea'.
Is that quite a bit of palestinian propaganda, or quite a bit of right wing israeli propaganda making those claims about the palestinian propaganda?
The Palestinians have never wanted peace with Israel as evidenced by Arafat's rejection of Ehud Barak's offer of land for Palestinian statehood in 2000 and then no Palestinian counteroffer.
Unfortunately, the militant Palestinians want something that will not happen - the Jews to either leave or be wiped out. Thus, there is no solution.
Perfect example of a no-social-skill computer nerd using a sledgehammer when a flyswatter is more appropriate.
If he knows the keys are pirated or stolen, then the installer should just report back "invalid key" instead of trying to cause the user harm.
His solution is akin to a person getting their wallet robbed on the street and then in turn attacking the robber and stealing the robber's wallet. As much as that attacker might anger you, you only have the right to protect what is yours - not destroy something that belongs to someone else.
Huh. We run Exchange 2003 for about 40 or so users on a single server. I've had to restore the mail store from backup once due to a hardware failure - nothing was lost and it was a fairly painless procedure. Also, online backups are a pretty easy task as well. Actually, the whole system runs rather smoothly for us with minimal administration.
Obviously, we have a pretty basic setup, but it sounds like you do too. Too bad you had a bad experience with Exchange in the past because I've found it to be pretty easy to use.
I've run ipcop on an old p166 with 32mb ram and a equally tiny hard drive (don't remember how big off hand) and it worked great for a network of 50 or so computers.
Currently I run two at our private school, one is an old ibm e-series celeron 800 and the other is a p3-450. I moved up in processor speed because the current two machines fit in my rack better.:) Both perform flawlessly and continuous uptime would be over a year if we didn't have a long power-outtage a couple months ago. I just checked the cpu graph on the celeron 800 machine and the highest it hit was 15% in the past 24 hours. So that tells me that I could have a slower cpu and be ok. Obviously, it all depends on how many computers you'd be putting behind the ipcop.
I suspect that if you had a problem before with IPcop failing then it was most likely a hardware issue. A clean install is practically foolproof for anyone with even minor geek knowledge.
IPcop also works pretty well as a vmware virtual machine. There are a couple of vm images available for it this way too.
There's no excuse for that teacher's actions. However, school systems need to be consistent. There are plenty of examples of teachers teaching or communicating inappropriately on issues such as homosexuality, abortion, drugs, and politics.
But, even still, (Not being American) doesn't it mean that no more crazy laws will be passed? even if the Shrub writes them, they still wont get through.
Its too bad the recent laws made it through.
Bush can't write laws. He can only sign them into law or veto them. Only Congress can write new laws.
When Vista comes out and people report various upgrade & install troubles, I wonder if it will get the same kid-glove treatment that Ubuntu is getting now? Hardly. I'm sure there will be no end of self-righteous linux-is-great / windows-is-crap posts from people.
I'm not intending to troll.
My point is: that type of attitude is not helpful to operating system advancement in general, no matter if it's linux or Windows.
Too bad your initial reaction wasn't, "I should go read the bill[0]", or "I should figure out what marshal law is." There's nothing in the section in question that's anything like advocating marshal law, or giving the president any additional power to declare it. Marshal law is more than just putting troops in the street. Marshal law is the suspension of civil authority, and the imposition of military authority on civillians. There's absolutly nothing in there that says anything about suspending civil authority. It's all about the fed.gov's power to send troops to assist in local emergencies, and the legality of using federal dollars to do so.
[0]Even better would be if you read the new law and the old law, so that you could see what has actually changed.
Right, but folks on slashdot can't resist a tinfoil hat bitch session on how Bush is the devil - regardless of the truth beneath the conversation.
Gee, didn't it occur to anyone that maybe this is dishonest political grandstanding by Patrick Leahy and has nothing to do with Bush trying to take away freedoms with evil intent?
Post Katrina all the bitching was "George Bush didn't do enough to restore order." Newsflash - the federal government as absolutely no authoritiy to restore order in the event of the type of lawlessness that happened in New Orleans. The state Governor has to request and send in the National Guard. Oh wait! That's right, the Governor of Louisiana and the mayor of New Orleans had their heads too far up their asses to take decisive, helpful, and intelligent action. What they were good at however, is blaming other people in government.
As I think about it, this development may actually hurt the WRT54G Linux crowd. If price is the motivating factor and everyone opts for the slightly cheaper VXWorks version, Cisco will likely discontinue the WRT54GL due to lack of sales leaving the LInux crowd with a less featureful option.
Bite your tongue! Some folks purchased a v5 not realizing the trouble and instability that vxworks brings. This is GREAT news.
Actually, it isn't that tough to pirate windows if the situation is right. Volume licensing is pretty much an honor system. If you run your own local Windows Update server, then your boxes never even talk to Microsoft.
They also don't have any terrorist panic. There's no "terrorism alert levels", and there isn't much security. There's not even nearly as many police around as there is in Australia. The Swedes haven't made enemies for themselves by invading other countries, so they don't need to be afraid of any terrorists attacking them. The Swedes are more "free" than Americans are, which proves that terrorists don't hate America because they "hate freedom", as George Bush wants everyone to think. They attack America because America attacked them and is occupying their countries.
That's rather myopic. Sweden isn't an influential country in business and culture. If Sweden had greater influence in terms of its values and culture on the world stage, I guarantee you that radical islam would be violently opposed to it. Radical islam does not have a "live and let live" mindset.
Well, the problem you see is that this is just an opportunity for the slashdot crowd to cast stones and bitch about Bush. Never mind the facts of the situation.
"there's still a pretty huge difference between seeing a movie on a widescreen TV vs. an actual theater screen which is however many feet tall and wide."
I beg to differ. Our 50inch with dolby digital surround is pretty convincing. My friend's setup with 90" screen is even more so.
From IBM's "migration page"... "There are no replacement products from IBM. IBM suggests that OS/2 customers consider Linux as an alternative operating system for OS/2 client and server environments."
They aren't helping anyone switch. They're just saying people should use linux since OS/2 won't be supported.

VMotion really makes ESX sweet because you can separate the server image from the hardware and move it around at will - good for uptime.
But that wouldn't have made for a good story on Slashdot...
A) Not much different than what Amazon does.

NO NO! It's errupting because of George Bush and global warming! Damn right-wingers!
