My wife's company sells products that are designed to boost your child's immune system. The technology was developed by scientists and Doctors from MIT. The link that describes the product is here. http://www.babysplendor.com/healthyBaby.aspx. I know this is shameless promotion, but the products do directly address the topic
If anyone thinks that gov'ts don't spy and that the right guaranteed in the Constitution/Bill of Rights are always upheld you probably believe in the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. Part of living in a big, sometimes dangerous world full of different kinds of people, is that gov'ts spy and break laws. I know that, I just don't want to see it. Just like hot dogs, I love them but I don't want to see them made.
The real worry is that the NSA were so sloppy or lazy or just didn't care enough to hide what they were doing. The NSA is in the spy and secrets biz. If some sys admin at the phone company can out a NSA mission, then those agents need to be transfered to a listening station in the arctic circle.
You need to figure out what problems/issues the end usrs and/or managment has and use those to help your agenda. If the user/manangement don't have any problems, then your out of luck in introducing change.
For example, if there are network bandwidth issues, or user account problems that take to long to fix/add, etc. create solutions to those that server your agenda.
But it was ok to target civilians by fire bombing the shit out of them in other cities, etc? Or maybe we should have dropped a fire bomb in the desert, showed them a picture of it and 'waited' (meaning sending/letting more allied soldier die.) Also, morality in war?
And as for being far from certain that the bomb was the fastest way to end the war. Big deal if it wasn't, it was far from certain that d-day would work, etc. If that bomb saved 1 us soldier from dying, then drop it.
I think McVoy is forgetting the role commiditization plays in the innovation process and how FOSS creates these commodities. Even if FOSS only re-engineered what closed source software companies did, and made them commodities, that would force innovation from closed source companies so they could charge premiums for there products,
McVoy is going to see that the new tool(s) Linus uses for SCM will force him to innovate his product at a faster rate, and for more $, then what he used to spend supporting the free tool he provided.
Just do it. Do about 1 hour of research on the web and find a laptop you like that has had a dist. you like installed on it, look at the HOWTO. Safe bet is any thinkpad. go to http://www.linuxlaptops.org/ for more info. and more choices.
All the manufactures support is lame anyway, why relay on them for help/info. Your on your own no matter what operating system you use, supported or not.
I have a courier ware bag and it's great. Doesn't look like your carrying laptop, lots of sizes and pockets to chose from, the inserts to a pretty good job of keeping your laptop safe. Very rugged and vesitle. Plus you can get inside of the bag w/out having to take it off.
I suggest using a the standard baby monitor with the two receivers and one base unit. If yu want to go more than that, an infared web camera servered over you home network via apache whould be the way to go. The audio monitor is addicting enough, the video can get maddening so I've heard.
The advantage of a web server is you can view it from work and/or the house next store.
The audio monitors are enough, stick with them is my advice.
You are so wrong about my thoughts about Canada. I love Canada and have tried to convince my wife to move their. I love Canada, and I love America too. I am not saying what I said to bash Canada, and I think you health care system is great. But my statement stands, we have the most advance healthcare, it is macho, over the top, er on steriods, never let dealth win at any costs healtcare, that's just the way we are. It's not better or worse, jsut different, and the infant mortality rates reflect that.
Not saying that the Canadians put kids that might not make it out to sea on ice flow. But in certain parts of the us, boston for example, we lead the world in resarch and advances in medicine. We have access to things the rest of the world doesn't yet. Expiermental, advance stuff, the latest and yes greatest.
Most people never need that stuff, but infant mortality figures, (and unlike you, I've actually read them and asked the author questions,) reflect extrodinary measures unavailable to the rest of the world.
When was the last time some loaded rich guy from Europe/Aisa went to Canada to see if the latest Cancer treatment would cure his rare form of Cancer? Never.
So, you can bite me, and, besides you, I love Canada for it's culture, healtcare, beauty, and way of life and I know that Canada is not filled with numbnuts like you and the US is not filled with the arrogant, flag waving, condescendig dickhead you painted me to be.
I like the tone of the rest of you post after the pps. Yous should have stuck to that.
Our rate is higher because we try to save more babies. In other countries, if the Doc. doesn't think the baby has a good enough chance, they don't try to save it. Still births and the like don't count in Infant mortality. In the US, we are far mor likly to try and save that child, which, unfortunaly, doesn't always work and increases the infant mortality rate.
I've had one for years and they are great. I bought mine at the store in Harvard Square back when it was open. Don't forget to check out the laptop inserts. I have a standard and it's great. I am thinking of upgrading to the deluxe insert for the extra pockets. (power supply, linix boot CD, etc)
The strap is wide and you can get a pad for it too so its comfortable. The bag really keeps the laptop safe from the elements. I have the large brief bag, it's good for files, folders etc. too.
Local judges/police/investigators, will do what is in their best interests. The legal systems of other countries where outsourcing makes sense, are much less transparent than the US. So, a criminal in India can buy off everyone from the cop on the corner to the local judge, for a fraction of the cost of doing the same in the US. With an economic target like Chase's data, which is worth a fortune here or abroad, and the lower cost of living where this data now resides, makes an irresistible target.
And no who lives anywhere near a Muslim country is going to stand up for that nice American capitalist country vs. a local person.
and by that time your account info is all over the world, you're credit card is maxed out, and, because the credit card industry wanted it and congress has no spine, that debt can't be wiped out by bankruptcy and repairing your credit from theft takes 5-7 years, you are screwed.
Imagine what would happen if you host any data overseas. If some big financial institution wants to move some/all of their data overseas, what recourse with that host gov't will they have if someone locally steals it? Are the host countries going to go after one of there own and help out a Chase bank, I think not.
While on yahoo I saw a BSA add that said stick it to you boss, report software piracy. Interestingly, the page that pops up when you click on it is a php page. http://www.bsa.org/usa/report/report.php
Maybe the BSA will illustrate that using open source is a better alt. than the proprietary software, mainly because of their efforts to crack down on piracy. Could this be an open source silver lining?

This is such an excellent post that I am going to make a Xerox of it and put it on my wall. After I wipe my nose with a Kleenex.
