Well lemme tell me one thing, it's lacking in Europe as well, and even more so. Get a clue. As for blaspheming, I do it all the time. And I reserve my right to do it.
I try to raise my son in a decent, God-fearing way
Moronic parenting. So you teach your child to fear God? Why not instead teach him to trust God, or love God? Even though I'm Atheist, that sounds so much better. And then, taking a next step, what's bothering you so much about your child being exposed to alternative views? And what kind of books are you going to disallow him to read? Voltaires'? Sades'? Nietsches'? What else?
I see a time when they will be used to distribute material that should not be allowed to propagate due to its dangerous nature (...) anti-Christian diatribes
Coming from Voltaire's country, I can just laugh at you. Sad little god fearing censor-happy monkey. Get a life. Jesus is a fraud.
Indeed, that feels so old. I remember the pre-cam Jenni pages, I did'nt remember that was so old. I remember that, when I saw it, I said to myself: wow, she's very exhibitionnist. Duh!
Did you read my post, smart ass? So FreeBSD is IPV6 ready, and so has been Linux for almost 2 years now... so what? The only thing you'll be able to do with it is ping, FTP, and telnet. GREAT!!!
IPV6 has been out for years. 5 years? 6 years? And we still haven't got a transition strategy. I mean, the questions Cerf raises in this article are the same that 5 years ago! They are the same than in the IPNG RFC! The truth is: nobody has any idea how to do the transition.
Because, simply, the problem is NOT in infrastructure. Putting IPV6 in the backbones is almost trivial -- I mean, it could be done now already, you just encapsulate IPV4 in some way.
Now... on the client side, it's another story. There is NOTHING ready on the client side. Absofuckinglutely nothing ready. Oh yeah, a whois client, and a name daemon. Maybe a telnet and FTP. And that's it.
Now, I have to ask myself, as a programmer, how would I do to support IPV6 in my programs? I don't have the slightest idea. I would'nt even be able to test them properly. Would there be an IPV6 compatible Apache, I would'nt be able to use a whole bunch of Perl modules with it. Of course, I would need an IPV6 enabled Perl. Etc, etc...
This is a BIG problem. A lot of cash has to be thrown into this, like in a consortium or something.. but who will have the incentive to do this?
(allowing locker searches and drug tests for example)
It always amazes me that drug searches are legal in the U.S. More or less mandatory in A LOT of companies. I can't understand that. Here, in France, I believe that only a doctor would be allowed to perform them, and would then be bound by medical secrecy rules. Would he break them, he'd be sued to death, lose his license to practise, etc... Were a non doctor to do it, he would be charged with illegal practice of medicine -- jail and hefty fines usually ensue. Not to mention that a company doing this would immediately get all the trade unions on his back. (There are exceptions, such as pilots, for obvious reasons).
I got an E-Mail from a spammer the other day, and you know what they were advertising? They were selling E-Mail addresses. They boasted somewhere around 500,000 "VALID E-MAIL ADDRESSES!"
That's about 60% of the spam I get. Makes you wonder how much business those spammers actually get if the only people they get to promote are... themselves.
I once got SMS spam from my cell phone provider (Bouygues Telecom). I called them RIGHT AWAY and fucking yelled. Never got one since then. Yeah spam makes me angry.
Latest spam story that happened to me: a French company (I hardly ever get any French spam) spammed thousands of webmaster@*.fr... including a few dozen of domains for which *I* am the webmaster. Guess what that company sold? INTERNET TRAINING! That's right! I called them and insulted them and abused them. AAaaah. I felt better.
So if Napster is like the Nazis because they (Napster) helped illegally copy a few millions MP3, I guess a lot of people here are as bad as Jeffrey Dahmer because they have a dozen mp3z?
You're fucking ridiculous. No, worse than that: you're intolerably stupid and pompous. Your political correctness makes me sick.
In the end, there's just one bottom line: lots of nice people have "illegal" mp3z, while the RIAA is a bunch of rich bastards driving ferraris. Choose your camp carefully.
The market is very hungry for decent cheap thin clients. At the same time the cheapest offerings for now are above 1000 which just makes you go and buy a laptop or a PC.
Yeah, indeed, so many people have concluded to the death of the network computer... but sheeesh, have you seen the price? Here in France it's close to 10kFF, which translates to $1600, whereas a full blown PC (128MB RAM, 14Gb hard drive, 17" monitor, CD Burner, DVD,...) costs less! What's the fucking point?
True Story: in my previous job, they bought me a nice HP X11 terminal, the latest version.... With a whopping 8 MB of RAM and 1MB video card! 5 year old technology... list price: $3000!!!!!!! It just wasn't *useable*! I took an old pentium 100 off the scrap pile, put in a slightly better video card (2Mb! Crap but at least usable...), installed RedHat, and whoooou... I was flying compared to the beast they had given me. Plus I had a sound card, which HP sold probably for a wonderful price of $500... no kidding!!
Man, it's so much trouble to put your patches on a website nowadays... I mean, it's not like my 10 year old cousin could make her own webpage on Geocitites... oh wait a minute, she has... nevermind.
It's at least 5 years late. 5 years ago, Linux was already at version 1.0. Oh and since I'm nice, I won't even mention the Torvalds-Tannenbaum debate -- poor Andrew, having this shoved in his face all the time must hurt in the end..
It doesn't mean anything. Maybe the brits are just nicer people on average than americans.
You've never been there, have you?;)
I'd be more interested in the crime rate before and after a country passed anti-gun laws.
What if they pass those gun laws because of an increasing crime rate involving firearms? Plus, if such a law is passed, do you believe firearm are just going to vanish all of a sudden because of it?
Actually, violent crime -- especially "hot" burglaries -- has been INCREASING in Britain and Australia since their gun bans... so if you want to retain your POV, they're very, very bad examples of your case.
You're pulling that out of your ass, aren't you? Where did you get that stat?
I've seen a stat that showed CLEARLY that, the more guns there was in a country in Europe, the more violent crimes tehre were. FYI there are quite a lot of them in France compared to the rest of Western Europe (I think we come second next to Switzerland), and violent deaths are higher here than in Englang.

Ghasp!!! I jumped on the link as I thought you wrote going down.
Nevermind ...
Wine does not work with XFree4.0, because of libpthread vs. Wine's own clone-based threading mechanism. See http://www.winehq.com for more details.

You might be an atheist, but you believed a troll.
That'll be 20 ave marias and 30 paters for you.
