You are kidding, right? The NSA collecting call data (and maybe monitoring traffic) without a warrent is a violation of federal law. Seeing that this is domestic, how could it be putting our troops in danger?!?
Honestly, if you are worried about the troops and their safety, work to bring them home. The madman who was selected (not elected) has put more of them in harms way out of some sense of Dr. Evil-esque vision than any reporter asking the questions that need to be asked in a democracy.
In that vein, OCFS2 should do exactly what you would like from a FS. It is easier to set up than RAW/ASM, and if configured properly, it can be rock solid. There are good resources available for installing and configuring.
I work for a biotech, and we have had the Excel issues with Accord, which required a little niftiness to fix, secondary install of a legacy Excel, registry tweaking, however, Isis, which some chemists love, is really expensive. It does, however, seem like a more bullet proof product.
The ChemOffice Suite (7, 9 or 9) is a wonderfully robust product, and CamSoft's chemical inventory product is awesome.
"Grand Theft Auto: Myst" In the most gorgeously conceived AND ultraviolent video game in history, you can open fire on passing cars with a bazooka while exploring universal archetypes! By Jason Roeder
Feb. 2, 2005 | Objective: Climb the ranks as a gangland sociopath by ruthlessly solving a series of intricate puzzles dispersed throughout the fantasy worlds of "Myst." But that's just the game's narrative dimension. Half the fun, of course, is exploration for its own sake, so if for some reason you're losing interest in, say, valves and knobs, just take a break from the storyline and wander. The realms of "Myst" aren't mere pixilated backdrops, but vivid and highly interactive landscapes. If you simply dash from screen to screen, you'll miss out on many of the game's treasures, not to mention some nicely situated sniping perches.
Start: The game begins simply enough: You find yourself on an island. You don't know how you arrived in this magical place -- you've only been out of the joint three hours, and you hope to fuck you're not in Jamaica because you know way too many Rasta men with scores to settle. But unraveling the astonishing truth will take all your wits. Then, it will take the wits of smarter friends, and then it will take the wits of a shut-in who wrote a walk-through.
How did this game come about?
With the release of "Revelation," the fourth installment of "Myst," not to mention several derivative novels, the creative team at Cyan worried that the title had played itself out. For a jump-start, the company turned to collaborations with long-standing video game icons. Those early partnerships, however, failed to produce the desired synergy. In other words, there's a good reason you haven't played "Ms. Pac-Myst."
But the "Grand Theft Auto" and "Myst" series seem so aesthetically opposed. How did the programmers manage to integrate them?
Obviously, compromises had to be made. For example, if you've played "Myst" before, you know that go-go clubs are scarce and that there's no Little Havana, per se. Similarly, in "Grand Theft Auto," the only reason you might find yourself in a library is because you're hiding from the SWAT helicopter. Balance was key: Just the right amount of urban development -- followed by just the right amount of urban decay -- was needed to create a picturesque dreamscape that could also credibly be swimming in guns.
"Myst" is pretty much uninhabited, while "GTA" is all about the characters. How did they get around that?
To be honest, there wasn't any coherent, plausible way to populate "Myst" within the existing mythos. Instead, the game's creators took a bold meta approach. All the inhabitants of "Grand Theft Auto: Myst" are the virtual presences of players who attempted a previous version of "Myst" but gave up forever after 45 enchanting minutes. Without a directing intelligence to guide them, these "afterimages" eventually coalesced into a crude, benighted society -- prostitutes, drug lords, tourists.
What about Atrus?
For those of you unfamiliar with the name, Atrus is the architect of all the "Myst" realms. He's wise, avuncular, and needs your help -- a lot, and for free. The folks at Cyan wanted to keep him that way. Rockstar Games, which puts out the "GTA" series, wanted to go in a different direction with "Myst's" most important character. In the end, an agreement was reached: Atrus -- still wise, still avuncular -- would be recast as a harmless rare-book dealer who occasionally troubled players with small errands: picking up 700 kilos of rare books at an abandoned quarry, connecting a rare book to the ignition of a Russian mafia lieutenant's car, and so on. In addition, Atrus' ether addiction could be toggled on and off.
There's something so pristine and nonthreatening about "Myst." I'm worried that it will resensitize me to violence.
I know what you mean. There's that one-of-a-kind "Grand Theft Auto" moment when you've beaten a hooker senseless with a golf club, dragged a tourist fr
The point is that it would make a great tool for offices that have a need for a larger number and are unwilling to have someone spend the time prefabricating them indiviually. It is a question of convienence for me.
That being said, from a convienece point of view, Win98 boxes just don't work in my (our) environment here (antivirus issues, et cetera) and I would be loathe to have any hoisted upon me. We already have embedded Linux thin clients, and if we could convert older machines at $150 per, that would be wonderful. It would save us money and time.
I think we are going to order a couple of units as test units to see if they work in our thin client environment.
It was their own choice, however, they are asking for help. Throw it out and buy something open doesn't seem to be an answer to their question.
I like my device, and while I would love to be able to find a *nix version of software for it, I am not complaining or stating that *nix is awful because it doesn't support it.
The poster was looking for information you essentially called him a moron for buying a piece of hardware that wasn't fully open.
For years the CSM was seen as one of the journalistic paradigms, favorably compared with the NYT and the Washington Post for the quality of her investigative journalism. While it has fallen off over the past 10 years, it is still and excellent news source, and very important, very fair, and exceedingly well written.
Funny, I am neither an athiest nor an anti-Christian. I was raised Roman Catholic, and was several weeks away from taking my initial vows as a DeLaSalle Christian Brother.
On the First Amendment, they will argue the "separation" part of freedom of religion till they are blue in the face, but completely ignore the "free exercise" part. I think the framers of the Constitution did a brilliant job of balancing these two concepts and to wildly expand on one by gutting the other detracts from what makes this amendment so great.
Just my $0.02, but, don't you believe that the ACLU is fighting for the rights of religious exercise? Freedom of religion also means freedom from religion. In a public space, supported by my tax dollars, I do not want to be compelled by law or by social code, to express a belief system that I do not adhere to. The posting of the Ten Commandments (which, I believe are good rules to live by) in a courtroom is tantamount to an endorsement of the religions of the 'people of the Book' (Jews, Christians, Muslims), thereby discriminating against those who are not in the aforementioned group. I concure that the Founding Fathers did an excellent job, however, the country was not nearly as diverse, and what was once acceptable behavior needs to be modified not in the name of political correctness, or liberalism, but in the name of tolerance and understanding.
Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet and Ella and Louis on Verve Records (which isn't the best of either of their work, however, they are amazing together).
Another suggestion I would make is listen to the Music Choice Jazz channels, which are available on most cable and dish systems(in the States at least) They play great music and have the song/album information.
actually, my son is content to play by himself for 30 minutes at a time, and gets upset when I try to remove him from that environment. Maybe it is just my kid.
Here is the deal with AOL IM. When AOL and Time Warner merged, they were forced to agree not to add advanced IM features (Video and such) until their network was open to other companies. Hindsight shows that this was a poor choice. Now that other companies offer these services, and the fact that AOL-TW has not become the behemoth it was supposed to have become, they seek to remove this restriction.
While it may be used as a revenue item, the purpose is to level the playing field before people starting switching to YIM for the video chat capabilities.

You prefer Accord to Isis?
Oh...be careful with the use of the words Ackjay Hompsontay...You don't want to get sued...

Are you saying that all the l337 kidz should get together, sing a bar of Alice's and walk out? Creating a movement?
Wow...
The 60s really haven't died...
Why won't a USB Memory stick work for you?
I am testing the software right now, and I like what I see.
if you had read the article you'd see that.
You must be new here...
You honestly are the greatest person on the planet. Why aren't you in the top ten for your service to /. and it's readers!!!

Ok, I googled and looked else where on-line, and off, and I can't find the sweepstakes for the free Hooker...
I have already won a foreign lottery, and I received a very special rate on Vi4gr4.
I am SURE that I can win a free hooker, so, please, point me in the direction.
Thanks for your response...and you Yes, I did made me laugh out loud...

The Outdoor Network, which has American Television rights, is advertising this as the 100th Tour De France. Is anonymous poster correct?
Aside from that, my golf game has improved, and with HDTV, watching baseball is wonderful...
Well, yes. There are a number of advocacy groups that work for everyone's benefit.
/.'s heart, the EFF.
For instance, the ACLU, or more to the
They lobby on the behalf on us (read: the little guys and girls in geek land) and work to protect the rights that are being grabbed from us.

actually, there is a USS Enterprise, and if I am not mistaken, it is somewhere in the Med.
because without humans, the movie would have never gotten greenlighted by Warner Films.
