No, Win98 just defaults to sharing your C: drive with the entire Internet, that's all. It also spams broadcast packets out your public network interface, trying to find other machines in your "network neighborhood." I used to grep my firewall logs for these packets and then use smbclient to browse the hard drives of all the Win98 machines on my cable segment.
For example, we can tell them (truthfully) that from now on, connecting a Win98 box to the Internet is as reckless and irresponsible as leaving buckets of water out in your yard for virus-bearing mosquitoes to breed in. (Not that it wasn't before.)
Considering how much malware these old machines are probably loaded with, most users would probably be impressed by how much faster a clean install of the latest Ubuntu Linux would be.
They made the shuttle bigger so it could carry its payload internally and recover payloads from orbit. I wonder how many Russian spy satellites we've stolen...
The same people who insisted that it carry its payload internally to allow recovery of payloads from orbit. This is what necessitated strapping it on the side of the booster where it can be hit by debris. Fucking ridiculous contraption.
For the vast majority of people, Linux can and will run any application they want or need. The exceptions are gamers and the small minority who need to run highly specialized, OS-specific applications. By any metric, Linux absolutely DOMINATES when it comes to quality and selection of "normal user applications"... including, for the past few years, installation and ease of use. Where have you been?
No, they aren't. A police officer chooses a job in which he or she must suspend conscience, free will, and situational ethics to act strictly according to rules and regulations. This may be an indication of a deep character flaw, or it may just be something they do to make a living. Either way, their inability or unwillingness to distinguish between what is proper and what is right separates them from the human race.
Anyway, statistics show that police officers hit what they aim at about 15% of the time. I'm a small-caliber pistol expert. We'll see who brains who.
I'm starting to see more talk about Ubuntu in non-Linux-related contexts... newbies asking how to do this or that. The message is reaching the masses: Windows is shitware, and Macs are too expensive. Why put up with any of that when you can get the best of all worlds for free?
I think Firefox might have had some effect in waking people up to Free Software.
"If he wasn't a cop, I would have either forcably removed him or shot him."
If somebody's in my home without a legal reason for being there, they're gonna get familiar with the business end of my boomstick; I don't care if they're wearing a badge. If pigs like Karlis were put in their proper place once in a while (and that's in a body bag, in case I'm not being clear enough) the rest might learn to be a little more respectful.
What, in committee? Nothing will get done. No, the school needs to be publicly embarrassed. Like, what if the soccer team showed up for a big match but refused to play? Or constantly scored own goals?
If their online activities are censored, they should all quit, thereby destroying the school's athletic program. See how the fucking administrators like that gambit.
Third and Finally - Even though TV tells you that cell phone triangulation is a common practice, it's not. Triangulating on a cell phone call requires police, on foot, with three antennas, to find the right signal and take a measurement, from there they sit down with a map and work it out.
Uh, no. It's instant and automatic if you're in range of enough towers. My cousin is an emergency dispatcher, and he complains about cell phone calls from outside the city because he can't automatically get a fix on their location.
When my girlfriend canceled her AOL account a few years ago, they didn't give her any trouble about it; they just didn't cancel it. Then they waited a few months and tried to collect the subscription fees.
I haven't been a AOL customer since 1994, but a few months ago, their autodialer started calling my cell phone two or three times a day. Several times I called and told them they had a wrong number, but they wouldn't stop until I threatened to pursue the $45,000 or so they now owe me under US Code Title 47 Section 227.
Mythic is doing a right fine job of killing their own titles. DAoC was originally a creatively designed, well-balanced game. Since the TOA expansion, it's become little more than a twitch game, where zerging is rewarded far more than strategy and mindless determination to gain levels is rewarded more than any kind of real skill. And lately, Mythic has busied themselves copying the worst ideas from WoW instead of trying to fix their past mistakes -- all the while paying lip service to making the necessary changes. (A 2% increased cast time here, a 0.5% damage reduction there... several orders of magnitude smaller than the fixes that are called for.)

Yes, it's an online dating site. No, I haven't met anyone on there yet. Shut up.
Now can they please arrest the people who make that HeadOn crap?
Microsoft destroyed the ability to use Windows as a computing platform. This guy's just making sure people get the word.

Or at least disbar him. But that might not be enough of a deterrent.

I think you began in the right place.
