All this feel good bullshit about non-lethal means of controlling people being nicer and show that the authorities are really nice guys is a trick.
More non-lethals controls are still controls and actually lead to an increase in the state powers and ability to surpress protests and dissent!!
The easier it is for them to package it to the masses as a good, nice, humane thing, the easier it will be for them to get away with putting down people and their voices.
But everything2.com has never even heard of Geektivisim:

Osiris is a file integrity verification system that can be used to monitor changes to a file system over time. Osiris consists of a pair of applications, osiris and scale. The first application, osiris, is used to collect specific data from the local filesystem and store that data into a database. The second application, scale, is then used to analyze, and/or compare the differences between two databases.
This also keeps an administrator apprised of possible attacks and/or nasty little trojans. The purpose here is to isolate changes that indicate a break-in or a compromised system.

of course i could tell it was verisign, that was the point of the post.
and of course i know who i registered through, but verisign sure made it look like they were now responsible for the domain registration and i should renew now.
and do i keep track of who verisign bought last week or last month, do you? no, so for all i know verisign was responsible for it now.
all i was saying is it was clearly misleading indicating verisign had it currently and i should renew it with them.
no indication it was a transfer from another registrar as well.
I have just gotten one of these letters from verisign in the last week for a recently registered domain name.
It was extremely misleading. It took me a long time to figure out if it was a mistake on their part or really was the trick it appeared to be.
I finally had to send email to my registrar and find out if some sort of mistake had been made because there WAS NO WAY TO TELL from reading the mailing.
It was very short, just an expiration notice type simple form, renewal coupon and return envelope. And some warnings about how bad it would be if I didn't renew.
It should be totally illegal.
I consider myself very informed about this sort of thing having worked in IT for a number of years and I had no idea it was a solicitation. I really thought there was some sort of mistake or my host had sold my account or something.
"Automated Linux From Scratch or ALFS, is a project that aims to create a generic framework of an extenable system builder and package installer using XML to describe the process.
It's main goal is to automate the process of creating a LFS system."
I have never used it, but I have used the straight linux from scratch and it is wonderful.
Ok, ok I know its late and these non front pagers are hardly read, but I have to say:
Stop saying all people with weight problems are like that because they eat like pigs.
I would hope that in the 21st century some of the information about biology and metabolism might have leaked into your tiny minds.
Here's the short version:
People are different, some are tall some are short, some have big feet and some don't. Some have body odor and some have halitosis. Some like the same sex and some don't.
And some *gasp* metabolize food at a different rate, pace, level or in a non standard way! Just as a diabetic about metabolism and body chemistry.
So please learn a little something before you blame them for their wieght problems, many do everything they can to change they way they look, but it requires they change the way they metabolize food and store fat.
Its like blaming bald people for not growing hair, geeze, just grow some f***ing hair you lazy sloths.
I am a basic newcomer to unix and unix like systems.
Installing and running both freeBSD and two versions of Linux, learning what was different, how they laid out the file systems, where they liked to store things helped me emensely to understand unix systems in general, it was a major leap of understanding when it was all over.
They don't differ so much that someone who knows one can't just use and get by with man pages in the other.
Keep in mind I am not qualifed to make any technical judgements about "better" or "worse" implementations of anything, just the more obvious ways they differ in handling common tasks such as networking, users and groups, or dynamic libs.
So I suggest to find and learn what makes them different and you will gain greater insight into both, at least I think I did.
I fully agree, linuxfromscratch.org is the best way to learn linux and results in the best distro you will ever have to support, the one you built from the ground up with this exceptional guide.
Go there now and build a linux box the way it was meant to be: linux from scratch!!
Sounds like they want us to develop and beta test for free to me:
WebSphere Studio Workbench, the IBM supported offering for use by IBM Business Partners, is based on the Eclipse Project."
Ok, so the commercial product is based on this Eclipse thing....
"The Eclipse community, currently hosted by IBM, focuses on extending the base extensible tool platform technology and creating new technologies that complement this common platform for tool integration."
Wow is that one big mouthful of bs, but I think it means "develop stuff for us please"
"Once these technology extensions become stable, they will be available for tool builders and included in new releases of the WebSphere Studio Workbench."
And wham! It goes back into their commercial product once we stablize it for them?
Don't other companies call this a beta test ?
It would be, but they also want us to develop the fixes for them as far as I can see...
This just happend to me, well a day ago it did. This is how I totally fixed the problem:
In iTunes I put visuals on and set to 'Full Screen', the volume to max, hit the play button and sparked one up.
What was the problem again ?

This is as good as the other article a few months ago where the guy said:

Definitely two phrases I'm going to try and work into conversation, with proper attribution of course.

It builds and bootstraps a basic utilitarian GNU/Linux installation all from source packages.
I think its great as both a production system and an educational build/install process.
The nice part is you end up with a fully functional linux you have built yourself. You will know _every_ package installed and why.
And all the mystery of linux will be revealed in your build process, its very educational.
Now, there is an partner group with the linux from scratch folks called automated linux from scratch.
From the automated linux from scratch site:
"Automated Linux From Scratch or ALFS, is a project that aims to create a generic framework of an extenable system builder and package installer using XML to describe the process.
It's main goal is to automate the process of creating a LFS system."
