BEER is good. BEER should be studied in school. BEER should be required for graduation. BEER should be in the home. BEER should be promoted for the betterment of society. BEER is good for everyone of all ages.
So you're too lazy or disinterested to bother to learn those skills that will make you tolerable as an adult. The ability to work your way through something you have to do yet are not interested in is the critical sign of maturity that you will be lacking when you are facing a job task you have little to no interest in. It is my fervent hope that you don't lose interest in wiping your butt, bathing and other things that distract you from your single-minded existence.
Good luck with that.
I am astounded that the/. crowd has not been calling for an absolute boycott of ALL media from ALL labels who sign on to these kinds of bills.
Put down the mp3 player and streaming video toys and pick up an instrument. If you want entertainment, get creative and make your own. Then you can do all the sharing you want with content you make.
Like it or not, whining about "they are taking away my perceived rights" on/. will have no effect on the people who are writing this legislation. But if the people who are supposed to be paying for this content all say loudly in one voice "Your content is crap and I don't want it" and then grow a pair and stick to their convictions and DON'T WATCH THE CONTENT FROM THE PEOPLE WHO ARE BACKING THIS LEGISLATION IN ANY FORM, the loss of 10-20 million viewers will have an impact the longer it keeps up. The only language those people understand is cash. They think they are getting less than they deserve so they buy votes. We outnumber them so remind them they exist because we allow them to. It's not like your life will end if you don't hear/view the latest "thing".
Besides, if/. started looking around and something other than the media content this is about, you might notice there's a lot of stuff that geeks can do to keep crap like this from expanding.
Does having a list of all know vegetarians within 2 miles count as a food source?:-)
I do have several days worth of canned food on hand at all times along with dried beans and rice for weeks. Canned turkey spam. Yum! I also have 3 days worth of water in a series of jugs that I do cycle through to keep them "fresh". Plus batteries (hidden from my 12 year old gamer) and a Coleman camp stove with 6 jugs of fuel. Add tents, sleeping bags good to well below freezing, many back packs, several first aide kits, and few items of ID/deed/title nature in a fast grab pack in the safe with the arsenal and ammo. What I don't have is fuel cans and carriers for the car and enough spare dog food. The cats will likely have to fend for themselves as they will scatter while the dogs will clump around us. Plus the hip flask with single malt scotch for emergencies!
My tools are usually scattered all over the house so a fast grab and run of those is likely to be fatal to me in many emergency types (fire, tornado, zombie uprising, etc).
RedHat settles a lawsuit and obtained the ability to continue to include code that was found to be patented by others. RedHat paid the cash and in exchange the code is now available under the GPL v.[23] with no further repercussions either upstream towards developers or downstream towards JBoss users. Did they license the code with that cash? That's not what it looks like. It looks like the cash was paid as a penalty and the legal team at RedHat made sure that was all that would ever be paid for the use of that. Did RedHat buy the license with that cash? Not sure but that is allowed in the GPL (my understanding at least. IANAL).
I read the article not as Debian is the most important distro but rather is Debian is the most likely to cause people to say "I can do better than that" and then expend the energy to do so. The RedHat derivatives are far fewer in numbers because RH does such a good job of covering all the bases people want to see in a distro. That is to say, RedHat users are more satisfied with the efforts of RedHat than Debian users are with the efforts of the Debian community.
That said, Debian is an outstanding community distro whereas RedHat is an outstanding enterprise distro. Use each appropriately for best effect.
The head of Daryl McBride is seen in court appealing the latest decision against SCO which declared Daryl McBride not eligible for compensation for inclusion into Futurama episodes on the grounds that he is "just wasting space now that other more important heads need shelf space for. Like Tiger Woods 9th wife" said Leyla. Bender, while trying to get McBride to bite his shiny metal ass, broke the head jar and dropped the head of McBride accidentally into a metal stamping machine. The head of Pam Jones laughed her jar fluid into a total froth while Fry looked on confused.
Besides it's useless when turning the wheel. They need a universal joint with automatic leveling so the ipad stay readable while cornering at high speeds.
Yikes! Where did that baby carriage come from?
The Toronto Museum of Science and Technology had a 40 foot long CO2 laser and a lens made of NaCl back around 1977 or so. Their demonstration of focused laser light to write the name of the presenter in a sheet of glass (it was vaporized instantly!) and burn through a firebrick in about 3 seconds was almost topped by the Argon laser that could pop a red balloon inside of a clear balloon in the same way eye surgery could be done with an argon laser. I remember the floor space of the museum was huge (I was about 15). I've always wanted to go back.
The blame will go to the DOCTOR not their online data service.
Having done a fair amount IT architecture work in the healthcare realm for the past 10 years, I can truthfully say that doctors are really cheap and look for ways to cut a dollar now at the risk of tens of thousands later. They are also early adopters of technology yet are basically clueless on how it works.
The cost of keeping an internal server plus vpn access for laptop use on an annual basis is a few hundred dollars. The cost of not having access to their records because of a fiber-seeking backhoe attack on their buildings access is hundreds per hour.
What _is_ the customer support number for Google if your Google Apps data goes missing? The doctors have your cell number and probably your home phone as well.
To Google, their account is one of thousands. To you, they are a car payment and maybe a few nights at the pub every month. Who is going to take care of them better, not cheaper.
The old mechanics saying comes to mind: "We do things 3 ways - right, cheap and fast. You get to choose two".
Sounds like this is taking place in a college setting. Don't worry about it. Darwin will always win. Your MMO addict will be getting a permanent chance to play all day forever back in Mom's basement after he flunks out. It's not your problem and don't try to make it be otherwise.
The connection is the most likely failure point. They can be mechanically poor and will loosen with vibration and corrode with moisture and become dirt-packed with unplug/replug cycles.
The main body of the cable can become damaged by crushing or sharp bending.
If you have a cable quality tester that can map throughput (very expensive) then use it and check existing cables on occasion when they get rerouted and on all new equipment hook ups.
Replacing patch cables is easy and fairly cheap but not worth the upgrade cost with out the need for a speed boost. A good rule of thumb is to standardize on cat5e and toss old patch cables when the equipment is moved around. the old cables go to desktop use where they will be crushed under a chair in a week anyway.
Maybe it's just me, but the tech level required to read a book online is pretty high. Add to that the power consumption.
And the paranoia of knowing the ebook I read today can be changed tomorrow to reflect a different view.
Online books are a great resource but the paper and ink industry must continue at any cost. Scholarly journal publishers will have to seriously rethink their business model. Online out of print books is a tremendous service to the public. Out of print books almost should be required to be online-capable status. But then multiple printings of a book is a clear sign of readership.
Dover publications has for decades been a staple on my bookshelves as they provide an affordable version of many technical books in multiple fields.
I do have concerns with a single entity having control of the gateway to an ever growing body of human knowledge. "Do no evil" is very much not the same as "do good" or "do no harm".
In Linux it's done with policies in LDAP that are used to set variables for login scripts. Using standard Linux tools (written 20+ years ago for UNIX systems), the login process can report back what machine, IP address, etc a user is accessing. That coupled with the group structures in LDAP are used to set environment variables that dictate everything a user can access.
If it weren't for the boneheaded point-n-click gui that windows crams down every admins throat, even windows admins would see that their precious AD is just ldap with environment variables modified by scripts.
Seriously, let the female choose the band, the rock (I personally am opposed to diamonds on the grounds that DeBeers has richly profited from the slavery system of Apartheid in South Africa, and continues to do so. Wife will NEVER get another and she's OK with that. Emeralds are much more rare, as are rubies, than diamonds.) and everything about the entire process. If she proposes to you, so much the better!

Use the same arguments as Intellectual Property proponents. Everything I say and write belongs to me. You have to ask permission to hear it.

Once I've had enough of the IT world (any day now....) my next move will be into the fine world of making beer.
