"But because he's the star (white) football player"
Oh you mean like the countless rape, murder, DUI, running down police officer, drug charges some black athelets get away with? Yeah maybe you're right.
It's probably too late in slashdot time for anyone to hear this but I'm currently reading a book called "The Savage Nation" and the Author was just talking about how this specific place was broken into.
In October 2000 Mock terrorists gained control of sensitive nuclear material, which, if detonated, would have endangered significant parts of sevral states including New Mexico and Colorado. In an earlier test at the same lab an army special forces team used a household garden cart to haul away enough weapons-graded uranium to build sevral nuclear weapons. Feeling secure?
A different site (incase you are curious) on the Rocky Flat site near Denver, Navy SEALs cut a hole in a chain-link fence as they excaped with enough plutonium for sevral nuclear bombs.
The scary part about this is that ALL sites were told a security exercise would come.
The Author says these are not B.S. and were reported in the Chicago Tribune
I guess I have this installed cause every once in a while
browser windows open (or die)
It occured to me there should be one to update errata so even idiots can patch themselvs.
Question 122: Could patents be used to completely disable Mono (either submarine patents filed now, or changes made by Microsoft specifically to create patent problems)?
No. First, its basic functional capabilities have pre-existed too long to be held up by patents. The basic components of Mono are technologically equivalent to Sun's Java technology, which has been around for years.
Mono will also implement multi-language and multi-architecture support, but there are previous technologies such as UCSD p-code and ANDF that also support multiple languages using a common intermediate language. The libraries are similar to other language's libraries, so again, they're too similar to be patentable in large measure.
However, if Microsoft does patent some technology, then our plan is to either (1) work around it, (2) chop out patented pieces, (3) find prior art that would render the patent useless. Not providing a patented capability would weaken the interoperability, but it would still provide the free software / open source software community with good development tools, which is the primary reason for developing Mono.
This isn't something California just thought of ya know. A new drug dealer usually sets great prices untill he builds up a solid base of customers.
ISP's will charge by the byte, Software leased, Information sold, freedoms of what information is availible will all be cut once people are use to it, peice by peice.
Sounds like a conspiricy unless you've ever read a history book.
You mean we can't download a free product and suck down
bandwith from the company for the rest of our lives?!
REVOLUTION!
Maybe some people haven't noticed but Mandrake who we thought was doing great is all but dead, how Redhat pays thier bills I have no idea.
Look people, It's time we allow some of these open source companies to ern some money, they have done alot for us and are still doing more than just about any other company. The only companys I can think of off the top of my head that do more for the people are charitys and ones funded by tax dollars.
The only thing I would ask is that, when I buy redhat 7.3 the errata will last untill redhat 8.3. I look at everything inbetween as a sort of beta software, I have no problem spending $50 every year and a half, but not every 6 months.
This is false I was married to a woman who could shoot lightening bolts from her eyes, and fly off into the clouds, of course my wife needed a broomstick, but thats a judgement call.
This sounds stupid, hiring hot women to shop in your store.
Although about a month ago my cousin and I went to pick up some supply's for our white water rafting trip the next day. We ended up spending our entire friday night in walmart chasing women (pathetic I know). Long story short. I fell out of the boat sevral times due to extreem hangover and excessive daydreaming.
Target maybe losing this battle
Walmart chicks: 7 Target chicks: 1/2 (I met one but she had a slight mustashe so 0.5 point penalty for being ugly)
or the Robber would have seen the gun sticking out of the guy's pocket and went to pick on the old lady with the walker.
Robbers with guns are cowards, why else would they have a fu*king gun!
Texas allowed ppl to carry firearms and violent crimes immediatly went down. Robbers would rather go out and get a job than risk a gun fight. Did'nt you ever hit the bully back when you were a kid? you should have it would have taught you soemthing in life.
You kinda missed the main point, I don't think the cameras are a huge problem as they stand but what they could turn into. Maybe we should have cameras in our house because of all these domestic disputes? Sounds far fetched I know. But see if it still seems far fetched after you've lived 10 years with cameras all around you, or your kids grow up with cameras in school, they'd think very little of that law being passed then.
And no I cant provide you any statistics seeing as that I agree its not currently a problem, But I can tell you that I did ALOT of bad things as a teenager and since there was no camera to catch me, I ended up growing out of that phaze and going onto college, instead of prison.
Sounds good in theory, but us Americans are paranoid, What most of us are scared of is not being filmed for defensive reasons like you point out, more jumpy on what it could turn into. Do you want a ticket sent to you monthly cause some camera caught you doing 55 in a 50 zone without your seat belt on since they were hard pressed to reach thier violation quota for the month?
Ben Franklin once said anyone who wants security over freedom deserves neither, and I happen to think the guy was onto something.
"OWT: A lot of it was misunderstanding, but there are certainly real issues as well. Red Hat is interested in a desktop that is well integrated into the OS. The KDE project is interested in a desktop that is well integrated with itself. These goals don't always completely coincide. "
Now that I think about it this is so true KDE seems to try and do everything itself, gnome apps seem to add onto things while KDE makes its own program for something already there.

She did not bring this up because when the questions were written & sent RedHat 8.0 was in beta and many issues hadent came to light yet. Here is a quote from her:
"I sent these questions to the Red Hat guys, BEFORE I actually installed Red Hat 8, get pissed off with the nvidia drivers, and wrote that review. If I had sent it later, my question would have been different, more direct, and maybe even a bit rude (eg. "you are a big company now and nvidia has the gfx market. Why don't you PARTNER with nvidia to make sure the damned driver works with your OS?"). Count on it."
"Linux made much of its name by supporting older systems. It shouldn't be too much to ask that it 'just works' on these systems."--
Linux still DOES work on older systems im on a 233 with 64 of RAM running RedHat 8.0 right now. But im not triple clicking open office and evolution. Im using Opera, wmaker, sylpheed for e-mail. RedHat cant do everything by default thats what CHOICE is about, they provide the user with choices its up to lazy ppl to configure it themselves if they dont like the "default" c'mon ppl what the hell has happened, we use to understand this, now we want a mac os X to tie our shoes for us!
Yes I know, hint:

BSD sucks its not "buzzword" compatible. I didn't hear one word about OOP, Linux, or .NET

Wait till a bug is found, i'll be cooking hamburgers in your toaster.
yearly value $45 monthly value $4 hacking someones X box and installing linux.. priceless

coder "hey Bill, should I "create" a security flaw"
Bill: "When was the last time you go a raise?"
isn't this like parents putting thier children in charge of hiding the cookie jar, or ballancing thier allowance? I fail to see the logic in this.
coder: "hey Bill we found a security flaw"
bill: "okay well wait till we release the next os before you fix it so they have to pay for it"
coder: "good idea Bill, now I see why you get the big bucks"

touch .htmlrc
echo "X11BROWSER=/usr/bin/konqueror" >> .htmlrc
thats it! now webbrowser is konqueror instead of mozilla, or opera, etc, etc.
it will work
