It's pretty neat how far FireFox is beginning to spread. CNN carried this story on TV just a half-hour ago. They mentioned that FireFox was becoming the most popular alternative to IE. My coworkers (who's job includes watching CNN) came by and asked me why this FireFox thing is better. I told them about tabbed browsing, popup blocking, lack of security issues, and other niceties.
One of the coworkers downloaded FireFox right away. I actually expected him to take a little while to wean off of IE. After I showed him FireFox's features, however, he set FireFox to his default browser and deleted his IE shortcuts! I think we're definitely making headway.:-)
Remember the Florida election of 2000 when a private database company scrubbed thousands of eligible voters from the rolls? Well now one of the co-founders of Database Technologies is back in the headlines -- he's working with law enforcement agents in Florida to create what may soon expand into a national surveillance system. We talk with privacy expert Wayne Madsen, investigative reporter Greg Palast and a top intelligence official from the state of Florida.
When is Joe Six pack going to wake up to the fact that in secret the government has conspired to create a dossier on every citzen in this country and this is who they hired to do it:
Hank Asher then creates the MATRIX as a state level network version of the TIA office. Essentially continuing the TIA office, but freeing it from congressional oversight and federal whistleblower protections. He admits smuggling millions of dollars worth of cocaine in 1981 and 1982. Coincidentally at the time when the Iran-Contra dealings were in full swing. But this is only speculation. Could there be more of a link between illegal dealings between Hank Asher and the republican party? OF COURSE THERE IS!
In 1992, Asher founded Database Technologies, which later merged with ChoicePoint. In 1999, he founded Seisint Inc. by merging two companies. He is still on Seisint's board of directors, and continues to play an active role in the company.During the 2000 presidential election ChoicePoint, gave Florida officials a list with the names of 8,000 ex-felons to "scrub" from their list of voters. But it turns out none on the list were guilty of felonies, only misdemeanors.
So there we have it. We went from having a domestic spying agency run by a five time felon to having the same domestic spying program sans congressional oversight and whistle blower protections run by a convicted drug smuggler who has proven that he'll break the law to further the republican agenda.
A Florida law enforcement data-sharing network is about to go national. In the name of counterterrorism, the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security are pouring millions of dollars into the system to expand it to local law enforcement agencies across the nation. It's called Matrix, which stands for Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange. According to the Washington Post, the computer network accesses information that has always been available to investigators but brings it together and enables police to access it with extraordinary speed. Civil liberties and privacy groups say the Matrix system dramatically increases the ability of local police to snoop on individuals.
The Florida company that built the database was founded by the man behind ChoicePoint and Database Technologies. The companies administered the contract that stripped thousands of African Americans from the Florida voter roles before the 2000 election.
Although narrower in scope than John Poindexter's controversial Terrorist Global Information Awareness program, Matrix may serve a similar purpose because it provides unprecedented access to US residents regardless of their criminal background. And states are eager to participate in the new program. On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security announced plans to launch a pilot program in state law enforcement data-sharing among Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and New York.
I thought this was true, until recently my main computer broke and I was forced to use my Mac. I plugged in a non sucky mouse, the optical light came on, and nothing happened when I moved it. any old USB mouse my arse
Woah! Talk about high quality modern components at low low prices! Only 80 for 256MB SDRAM! Is that a Radeon 700 I spy for only 40? Incredible! A motherboard and 800Mhz processor for a bargain 550! Any lower and these prices would be illegal!

Will you people please stop your whining and bitching? They are giving away drivers for Linux, that is sympathising with open source. When someone gives you something, it is courteous to say thank you, not complain that they didn't violate countless agreements and give away trade secrets just so you stupid Stalmanites can sleep slightly easier at night.
My story of choosing a desktop enviornment is just as trivial. When I installed my Redhat 9 system, Gnome was the default. I thought it was ok, but nothing special. A few days later I got adventurous and decided to fire up KDE. I switched to KDE soley because there is an option to turn num lock on at startup. I've looked at Gnome a few times since then, but the file manager is just terrible.
On the flip side, GTK has many more language bindings, so programmers can be much more flexible in how they want to code (C, C++, Java, C#, Python, Perl, etc.).

I'm fairly sure the explosions in UE3 are still just textured quads, look in the videos, they look fairly flat and nasty
what's that? a joke?
somehow I don't think kazaa is where you'll find "the good in humanity"

The easiest way to do this is to just scrunch up some paper by the phone. It makes the noise perfectly.
oh shut up
If by 'deal with' you mean dump in a hole in the ground and hope no one goes near it for a few millenia, then yes.
Please tell me which part of GPL prohibts you from selling support. I imagine companies like Redhat must be quite worried if this is true.

Bzzzzz. Wrong.
