There's a difference between relying on security through obscurity and helping people out by telling them everything about your system. While people could easily use search tools to find out information about me, the last thing I'm going to want to do is post my social security number on/.
I believe I was able to watch a grand total of thirty minutes of that crap series before popping in the David Lynch calssic and returning to a happy stupor.
They already tax us to pay for these things by demanding money for the pleasure of owning property within their district. We also pay federal income taxes which are doled out to states for education and construction expenses.
At what point will we determine that it is important for us and the companies that employ us and give us products to keep our own money and spend it on what we feel is important rather than what an unelected administrator determines is important.
I must say, you've really taken humor to the next level. Let's see, I believe we've managed to bring yet another technology story in to the realm of how much the general population of/. dislikes Microsoft and we've managed to say something nasty about Bill Gates... yep, that's a 5 point (Funny) karma whore.
I believe it is an over simplification of programming languages to say that all popular languages (including Java) are based on C. There are really three types of programming languages (beyond assembly): functional, procedural, and object-oriented. Functional is basically LISP, procedural include C, Pascal, Fortran, Cobol, while object oriented contains C++, Java, and Delphi. C++, Java, and Delphi are object-oriented, but they are based on procedural languages for their basis. Everyone says that Java is really object-oriented, but there's still that damn little "static void main".
Eventually, there will be a real object-oriented language that is a paradigm shift away from oop-built-on-procedural. Most of us will prolly just complain because MS will develop it and it will be a point-and-click system.:)
Since my $50k install of Oracle on my $20k server is such a preponderance of the price, Oracle will be forced to lower its prices or get out of the database market./me waits...
While I totally agree with you on the adoption issue and peoples' irrational desire for their *own* child, I think you are wrong about the natual selection side of this. Keep in mind that this defect wouldn't affect the child until it was 30-40 at which point, according to nature and our original life spans of less than 40 years, the person would no longer be adding their genes to the pool.
Finally someone else recognizes that censorship is something that only a government can do. Magazines are often said to censor material they do not approve of, however, this is impossible since a snubbed writer could simply publish their views in a different magazine or publish them by themselves.
Censorship requires the use of force and, in a civilized society, we have traded away all of our rights to use force in exchange for a promise from the government that it would protect us and dispense justice.
But what about my new party that I just created? Should the networks be required to give me time? Should I get the same amount of time as the Democrats?
In fact, you are absolutely correct. There are two methods to find planets in another solar system: wobble and occlusion. The wobble method detects minute movements of the star as the two objects orbit each other. Only when the planet(s) are of significant mass will the wobble be detected by our current means. The occlusion method looks for an object to move between the star and the Earth and decrease the intensity of the star's light. Again, this can only be detected for large planets.

This will just force web sites to follow the silly, little rules that every country will soon have in place to censor content.
Actually, part of freedom is having to live with the choices we make. By eliminating the ability of the government to use coercive power over us, we must be willing to make important decisions for ourselves and live with their consequences. I am not taking an anti-gay, -drugs, or -AIDS stance here. I am simply disputing your assertion on the nature of freedom.

I agree completely, but why would we want to make things easier for the hackers?

Are you advocating bundling applications with the operating system? :)
Just playing with you.
Oh, yeah! Panthro would kick your ass.

Is your puke grey? I don't think my puke has ever been grey.
but they need to learn that javascript:history.back() will not always take everyone to their homepage. :)
There's no contract? What about that pesky, little GPL thing?

Bring back the pay for play system!
Should we create a new obfuscated English contest?
Don't you think that is their internationalization was so good, it would have changed that 's' into a 'z' for those of us in the US.
Congratulations.

You'll never get anywhere calling slashdot \. . It makes it too obvious that you work at a Windoze terminal. Heh

The same people wouldn't be able to do ip chains on linux so it wouldn't make them any safer.
Imagine a beowulf cluster of these!
