yeah, I've actually seen one equivilant to that... I also remember a report from M$ alleging that they had a win2k box running for three years last year... that would have been great if it was the same build as customers were getting.
Microsoft can make a system that is somewhere above -1 on the security scale, or unless someone else creates a majority secure OS. Either of these would clear things up. If my computer got hacked running win2k, I wouldn't point and swear at whoever hacked by box, I'd point and M$ and say, "what are you smoking."
Unix would fix a lot of the problems of users, etc.. not as many root holes. I think computer should be subjected to the same kind of rules as Vehicles... If it's proven that you let someone use your car, knowing they were going to commit a crime: you're guilty. If your car was stolen, you report it, etc... Law enforcement is guilty (just like M$) for not stopping the threat, and crime.
yeah, that's about all, and I'll continue to say it until somebody figures out that my solution works, and it's worth it. I was against blacklists, and I'm against spamassasin. Why? because both have a inherent problem of blocking email that is perfectly fine, and do nothing to give a response to the spammer crowd. The spammer who sends 500 emails, and gets 100 blocked by spam assasin, doesn't know they got blocked, and stored in a junk folder, they still transversed the network.
Dns lookups of the hosts is the only way to solve the problem. That way spammers have to pay for domain registrations to get around it, need to have a dns server, and they'll have to keep registering domains (which have I.D. information) when their old ones get blocked (by TLD).
I'm sorry, I guess my comment was offtopic, but I'm just generally offended by the anti-spam people who are making things worse, or in your case, just not helping.
There's one service that actually helps users though, spamgourmet.com rookies won't understand it, but it's a lot less trouble, and more safe than using Spam Assasin. And you don't need your own mail server. (btw... I'm not affiliated blah..)
si20 won't solve the problem of spam, it will just keep people who weren't going to buy junk from spam from reading the solicitations for junk. Yet, you still come up with a non-solution that flat doesn't work.
If you want to provide a real service, gimme a reply, I'll explain it, but not if you don't wanna hear.
Let's see here... Dell, Unisys (ludicrus claims about unix and win2k), and Microsoft. Of course they support Bush, he's in office, and Both of the companies are somewhat unified with Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't want Bush to hit them with another lawsuit (not that they'd loose, judges suck), so they pay him off.
I don't trust Bush on a lot of stuff, but I don't particularly think Bush would want a payoff from microsoft, and I really don't think he's going to risk buying off voting machines when the Democrats still can't come up with a canidate that would get over 30% of the vote! (If I said that 3 weeks ago, you'd be talking about Wes Clark... no chance now)
Um, it's not violating a copyright, in the case that the commercial prerelease movie doesn't nessesarily have to be copywrited. With a little twisting of the actual bill (who knows what it really means...) law enforcement might even be able to put people in prison for sharing the fanimatrix.
Remember, the goal of the RIAA and the MPAA is not to stop Piracy; The goal of both mulimedia organizations is to make more money, and by solidifying their own monopolized markets (CDs, DVDs, Theaters...) they are saved from people making entertainment services apart for the RIAA and the MPAA.

Farewell To The Concorde
·
· Score: -1, Flamebait
I really don't care what Mary has to say on concorde planes, she's probably to scared to fly one, even if she would pass the flying tests. From what I can understand the concorde was an excellent plane, and IIRC, even more safe than Boewings. I don't trust hardly anyone on aviation anymore though; The SR71 retirements were even more insane.
Except, IE 4 has more bugs than any other piece of ms sofware. it actually does go faster than ns4 on fast connections, but with at least twice the page problems. And, if you've ever written Javascript, you'd know that m$ didn't get it right until 5. (Ie 4 works on a lot, about as much as ns3.)
Netscape 4 was actually a pretty good program when it first came out. Unfortunatly, netscape failed to fix almost all of the bugs, and judging on Mozilla.org's findings, the NS 4 source was so messed up, it would have been a pain to fix.
uh, it's quite simple really. No, really it's really really simple!
If you have a few alternatives that are all compatible, the only result is betterment of the system.
No, it seems like I'm the only one that does!
What good is an open source application going to do you, if you need a microjunk compiler?!?
Besides, VB is definatly not designed for network operations, and a few other languages would do a much better job. C++, and perl come to mind.
Hey, theres some really good points there. Well, in my neighborhood, odds are I'm the only one on DSL... I was very blessed to get it here. Yeah, dorms are mostly freshmen too. I appreciate your comments, but at the same time, I'm thinking more about the zinger I put at the end of my post. If p2p is banned on the dorm network, it might really shoot up in the wireless lan. I don't actually know if the wireless lan has a internet backbone or not though.
I really have a hard time swallowing that now! How are you supposed to tell me that a linux iso isn't going to overload your "high bandwidth"? So if I go to live at the dorms at UF, you're going to shut off my connection right in the middle of a linux distro download, yeah that's really nice. Btw, what were you people smoking? A open source VB app? that's seriosly messed up.
Ethics, how about putting everyone's name in a database, just to hand the data over to the RIAA? Do you inform your students that they may be stabbed in the back by their University? Oh, and aren't you looking for trouble? monitor a cheap, high bandwidth network, but do not monitor the wireless, low bandwidth network?
UF has a grassroots wireless network that I am told will be awesome in another year. The Icarus progam isn't supposed to run on it, so that's awesome. I hope people don't abuse it though, I'll be going to UF in another 2 years..
just shut up man. Everyone is on one side of this, and everyone else is on the other side. It's mostly the not clear things in this that are important. Like the whole muslim race wants all the Jews, and Christians killed, or converted.
It's not some secret plot, or a small cult of people who have this goal, but almost the entirety of followers of Islam. Even Saudi princes discuss with other Saudi princes (idiots in white turbans) about how to get rid of Israel. For the most part people of the Arab palestine do not want to live there, but no Muslim country will accept them.
Why not? because they hate them too, but less than they hate "infidels".
Ok, here you go, I didn't even mention any atrocitys, do any one sided comparison, and I've blown away your whole argument.
Ack, what could happen worse than a disaster like the WTC towers crashes terrorism?!? (intentionally bad grammar.) Computers control the world today, after all, if we had better computers, the terrorist never would have been able to sneak weapons on the airlines in the first place.
While I'm aware than ES5 doesn't concern government or big business, it could have devistating effects IF it did. Think instead of a business instant messenger. That would be just peachy, so you're running the missle control program and just chillin' with your buds, and someone just deletes the trajectory file! If you were running a sane OS (defined as anything BUT Microjunk), the file would be in system memory, no problem. Of course you can understand the problems this would create on a microjunk platform!
Missile386.exe has caused an illegal function and will be terminated, yeah, fun, real fun.
I'll tell you why it didn't get posted.. First, your url was wrong.. we don't want to make a contribution to dean, we want to know what he really thinks about computers. Second, he's not saying anything on these pages, it's just polical jargon. We don't care what dean "feels" about the internet and computers, we want to know what he's (not) going to do.
Like it came out back in the 2000 election with gore (groan), gore was running unix, and had a better website than bush. Some of us would have rather gore just shut up about technology, and quit his reasoning that not stopping technology somehow helped him "create" it (not invent as commonly thought).
I personally was much more concerned about gore as a canidate because of some stuff he talked about during his vice-presidency (gotta listen to what these people say when they're NOT running for office, ditto for dean). I didn't like the anti internet attitute, in which he seemed to go along with telephones lame argument that people were using phones for internet, and should be able to charge more. He was also not against internet taxes, which if implemented would have killed e-commerce, and the whole economy.
great, now the bittorrent and the stupid oranged.to are overloaded
Nice going bittorrent, two strike-outs in one day (fanimatrix trailor)
that's not wifi jargon, that's incorrect notation.

Metric units of 110km, not 110 Kms, the lamer. km is a abbreviation of KiloMeters, not KiloMeter, so the s should be left out entirely, and if you are going to capitalize the K, you better capitalize the m. it's better to just leave them both at no caps.
so 110 km at 2.4GHz. 2.4GHz is superflous, we know they wouldn't be using anything else for that range, so it would have been better to just say 10km!
No, I'll tell you what you really really don't want! A whole network of computers that can't be changed by anyone, but someone with "Autorization". So I'm going to college studying to be a computer science major, and some IT guy at my college messes stuff up, doesn't install the software nessesary, and didn't even setup the dells correctly on the desk (the holes in the desk are for kb/mouse wires) (duh).
What do I do, I just sit there, because I don't have permission to fix it, and wait for someone else to come get it working right... or just mess it up again. Not only that, but my whole school's network was down for over a week with M$ viruses! They're running windows2000 pro on dells, and not doing anything exciting... still get hit hard, and nobody from dell or microsoft will do anything to help.
If the systems were open, with a linux based desktop, and a netfs share, with like 20mb for each user, you could logon, do your stuff, save your documents, etc. and they wouldn't have near the problems, and would save money (think x-terminals)...
Double standards are the problem, think of a solution that will work for everyone, or just use mine.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to look the other way, but why are you going to use the distro in the first place, if you just have to go into mandrakes horribly formed config files? Mandrake isn't an easy distribution, it's a "STUPID" distribution. If you don't like ads and spyware, go somewhere else. It's actually easier to manually configure most of the "poweruser" distributions than mandrake, and if you can't live with mandrakes ads, the easiest solution is to GO SOMEWHERE else.
Shameless plug: arch linux! i686 based distro with a slackware-looking installer, but a few more features, and much more up-to-date. with unique abilities to compile your kernel right in the install, so you never have to boot a bloated one.
It also has a developing, but good package system, and it doesn't get messed up like gentoo's portage. get an iso at archlinux.org
Just think about it, shouldn't you think about gas milage per passenger, instead of per car? For example, you can get a 12 passenger van, and get like 10mpg (I think they are about that good with the less powerful v10s). Multiply that out, and even with just 8 passengers you have 80mpg. Also, shouldn't we be thinking about less vehicles on the roads, and not necessarily more smaller cars? I just kind of think that a tax break for "green" cars might be a little off the point.
Consider a few local churches, they have vans that sit around all the time, and then they go on a trip with 10-15 people. This means they have an average cumilitive mpg of like 100mpg. That sounds a bit better than most of the posters with honda insights.
Heres the problem. We don't want to go to ximian, order it, wait 2 weeks to get it in the mail, install it, virtually sign some agreement that is too dumb to read, and could actually be bad, figure out how the software actually works, fix the rpm to work with slackware, and then, you can use the thing the easy way! Meanwhile, if their script breaks in new outlook versions I have no garentee that they'll fix it, and I don't know how the dumb script works, because instead of using logical variables, and simple scripting principles, they used some unnessesary, but not nessesarily bad high-level language that I don't know, and I have no idea what the script actually does, because I just got the easy solution!
There, now think about that, and then return your connector before it's too late!
