When I started writing about my sex life in my Slashdot journal, my "Fans" soared to over 80, so your idea about it being a statement on the readers' lives is probably correct.
So you're saying that farming reduces GDP? What basis do you have for all this info about red/blue states. (BTW, I don't know why you got into all the political stuff, unless your sig is representative).
So, when I lived in the US, all those corn (ADM?) commercials that I saw on PBS weren't representing that the company made lots of money?
I'm in the process of putting various EFL teaching materials and help for students on my website, all of which are CC copyrighted (attribution/share-alike).
I wasn't saying that you were anti-Linux, but I've been watching you for, what, five years now (we both got our present accounts at the same time) and you have always seemed to be hard on the "I prefer Win" side, IIRC. Just curious.
BTW, I am no security guru, but I installed Debian over the net, run Snort, chkrootkit, and Portsentry daily, and never have any problems, despite having a server up in the non-demilitarized internet zone of S. Korea.
Not to say that it will never happen, but it's been almost a year like this with nothing getting through, though I haven't tempted the gods by saying anything like this on/. before!
I have to say that that's a pretty hot site, and I've thought of doing something similar in English. Sadly, my Mandarin training is 20 years old, so I can't do much in it anymore.
I've studied dead Greek, but have also studied Mandarin, Thai, and Lao. Those have allowed me to live, study, and work in several foreign countries. In fact, I was a linguist for the US Gov't, and, believe me, if computers worked effectively, they would be used more in language teaching.
IT in language learning is really popular in the same way that audio-ligual labs were big in the 70's-80's. They can help some, but they don't create any real language ability.
In fact, I'm even studying IT in ESL/EFL education right now, and I'm still a little cynical about just how much it can help. Drill is useful, but you eventually have to move beyond it to real communication, and that's where forums and whiteboards work well, but then you need other humans to communicate with...
I have a dummy account with a cryptic name and password and no home as the only allowed ssh login for my box, from which I must su to a normal user, then su - to admin. I'm hoping that it's unlikely to be cracked.
First of all, I use OO.o every day, even swapping documents wiht my editor with no problem larger than standard between-versions swapping.
That said, StarOffice was up to version 5.2 (and, yes I used 5.0 and 5.2 then) before it went open source. It should be fairly advanced by now. The good news is that it is, mostly. It's just not at version 2003 yet...

You should see the OO.o spellcheck recommendations for my gf's name.
Way better than MS Office!

But, the point is that, since we don't sufficiently understand which variables have what effect to create a general model, we can't really tell which strategies were extremely effective in historical outbreaks. We can't make policy based on this.
You know, I looked at tripwire, but I thought that, since I didn't install it immediately after installation, that it wouldn't be very useful, but I guess it can't hurt.
I have also looked at spoofing the OS, but nothing appears to be available for kernel 2.6.
GRSecurity is a great project, and I'm looking at how to implement that and/or SELinux without making day-to-day use of my box impossible.
Since you appear to know what you're talking about, I have a question.
I net installed Debian testing with iptables, portsentry, snort, and chkrootkit. Http, ssh and webmin are exposed. Webmin is limited by IP to the range of my work IP (dynamic). Ssh login is limited to one user. I update daily and check my logs about three times a week. Is there anything else I can reasonably do to protect myself?
Even though I don't know your stance on many issues and may very well disagree with you on some or all, I say "Good for you!" Don't strategically vote. Vote for what you believe, and, maybe someday, there'll be an end to mediocrity. To say it again, voting your conscience, whatever that may be, is the only way to really make a difference..
I know that this is a US-centric discussion, but I would like to point out that, in many countries, corporations are required to have a minimum number of stockholders in order to be incorporated.Does this rule not exist in the US?

The US has the same kind of protection in law

Hey, I'm not into economics, so please explain to me how excluding an industry from being counted could cause the GDP to up.
How's this? http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=143486&cid=120 28361
More money sticks to you when you're all slimy, so it all works out...

I know that it gets said a lot, but this is why I really like the concept of tools for specific tasks. They have nice, definable limits for testing.
