Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. That pretty much sums up my parents experience of the Internet while using IE.
Anything that would keep them from calling me frantically wondering why their web browser now goes to some variation of cool web search sounds great.
Microsoft has dug IE this shithole by making the browser too much a part of the operating system, trying to get as much lock in as possible. Now they get to reap the fruits of their labors and lay face down in it.
In a lot of cases, when software is been written to do X thing, the DoD will goto lengths to write it from top to bottom.
OpenSSL has proven itself worthy on the battle field of the internet.
If by using OpenSSL, the DoD can design better systems faster that allow our troops to be more efficient (i.e. deadlier) and it costs us less money and the DoD returns any bugs it finds to the community, I don't see how this is a bad thing.
I think the big issue that when some my age (late 20's) sees a site like bangbus, they see it for what it is.
It's a fantasy site. Centered around the idea "What if your driving down the road and you drive by a hot woman and for 500 bucks she does anything you want."
We adults see it for the fantasy it is and nothing more.
The problem is that when a minor sees something like that, they're not going to see the fantasy aspect of it. Their going to see it as an acceptable way to treat a women. Then people will be all shocked when that same kid goes out and objectifies every woman he meets into a sex object.
Actually I think it would cause an extraordinary amount of anger.
When the attacks of September 11th happened, I don't remember any of my friends being frightened. It was more along the lines of "Who, Where and how quickly can we turn their country into a smoking hole!"
From a strategic point of view it wouldn't aid a terrorists cause to do something foolish like detonate a nuclear device in a major American city.
Right now the world is a divided place. Some people think US went too far in it's war of terror (going after Saddam) while others think we should clean Saudi Arabia's clock while were at it.
Detonating a nuclear device on American soil or anywhere in the world would end all of the questions. The world as a whole would come crashing down on those who did this.
Depends on the tape drive your using. SDLT and LTO-2 have shown themselves to be quick and reliable.
The treick isn't to back right up to tape. Get yourself enough space that you can write all your backups to disk and then stage from that disk to tape.
On a side note, I'm not sure how interested I'd be in this blu ray disk vs. the one that Sony is creating. Considering that I'm probably going to buy a PS3 and considering the time table, it's probable that Sony will end up using their blu ray format for disks, I'd rather have one media machine instead of two (who use none compatible formats.)
While I'd say 10 monitors is a bit nuts, as a user of a duel monitor system under linux, I can confidently say that it's awesome.
1. Duel monitors is a cince to setup under linux. 2. Once you get used to 2048x768 (or whatever 2x your current workspace is) it'll be hard for you to go back to one monitor.
Just doing stuff like having the docs/spec open on one monitor while you code on the other is worth it.
The one drawback is the space. Two 17" CRT monitors side by side take up a fair ammount of table space. My solution was to move my workstation and monitors off of my desk and onto a seperate bench table.
Or... you could strip out all your personal information and either make those 76megs available for others to train their spamassassians or make the SA database available...
What you've touched on is the state of this leaders in this country.
Instead of our government being made up of people from our own ranks, it's full of the upper 1% of people whom if they weren't in government would treat 90% of the population without outright content.
Hence when you see a law that's completely egress, just remember that all of those people "Don't give a fuck about you or your rights..."
They've got their lips securely attached to the special interest tit and are vigrously sucking with all their might...
You see to forget that these replicating cars are going to need "material" to create more cars...
Your walking down the street when behind you suddenly see a semi with this giant maw coming up behind you, you duck into an ally but your fiend isn't quick enough. You hear the sickenly crush and squash as your friend is sucked in and ground into paste to be fed into the nanoengines. Moments later, to add insult to injury, your friend has been coverted into a Vespa scooter...
I've got 4 EMC boxes full of disks and I've replaced several "Server Quality" drives...
Lets just say a harddrive company spends it's R&D dollars creating a 400GB harddrive.
They're not going to then turn around and engineer some heavy duty version of the same drive. The only difference between the 400GB Fibre Channel disk that's in your companies disk array and the 400GB SATA drive that's in your riced out overclocked game machine is the interface board.
Maybe the company that you bought your array through does some sorta of quality test before they put the disk in your array, probably not.
99% of the time, drives that fail in the consumer environment due so because of poor handling and exessive power cycling.
The other thing to think about is that the hull of the tank isn't going to be covered with one contiguous sheet of this stuff. It's going to be covered with a grid of 1ft x 1ft squares, each electrically seperate.
Someone a couple of posts ago had mentioned "What if you shoot 3 rounds at the tank..."
1. You'd have to get them all in the same place. 2. Whose to say this won't be multilayered in the highest/exposed spots. 3. While doing this, the tank has a coaxial machine gun that can fire 3000rds a minute... + a howitzer that can fire antipersonnel rounds with a timed fuse...
Yes, an RPG into a engine bussel could take out an MIA2. However, unlike most other tanks, it just stops the tank in its tracks. The M1A2 is built into sections so that if the ammuntions bussel (which sits right behind the turret) gets hit, all the ammo cooks off away from the human occupied part. Same with the fuel tanks/engine, etc.
I think the Challenger and the Leopard are built the same way.

No.
The person has every right to say whatever they want on the back of their truck. As an American citizen, they have that right.
I also as an American citizen, have the right to make my own opinions about what I see on the back of their truck.
My opinion of the sign was that I thought is showed the person as an ignorant ass who has a poor understanding of protest in this countries history.
Yeah, so far nobody has been labeled un-American. Plenty of people get labeled "un-Patriotic" for good or ill (not sure which).
I saw a cardboard sign on the back of a truck that said "Real Americans don't protest".
Needless to say, I had to sigh because that sign in one instance imbodied both that persons stupidity and ignorance of this countries history.

200 mile high club?
If anything it'll give us some good data on what Martian conditions do to hardware in the long term.
I know that right now one of Spirits wheel motors was starting to act up a bit.
As Martian "Winter" approaches, it'll be interesting to see what really cold weather does to the rovers (other than breaking them).
However, with that all said, I think we should be vigorously working on putting a colony on the Moon.
Tragically, I was the other person, I'm still scarred over the whole ordeal.
I think they call that a shuttle PC running Myth...
We all know that the RIAA would come down on them with an IRON fist...

What I find particulary funny is that this guy took all this code with him and didn't even fix the bugs!

It always works this way...
Those who need never get what those without need recieve...
We've got sysadmins around here working on 450mhz p2 systems while there are VPs on their 3rd new laptop this year...
Actually I took a closer look and sure enough there are cold gas thrusters.

Okay, your abnormal and have been reported to the authorities...
The rest of us however have very idle serial ports...
How does SS1 control it's attitude when its out of the atmosphere? I don't recall seeing any sort of directional thrusters on the craft.
