Exactly. Reminds me of a point from Jonah Goldberg:
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm in favor of censorship, and, in all likelihood, so are you. The only difference is, if you're a typical American, you either won't admit it or you don't know it. But look: If you think it's a good idea for the government -- federal, state, or local -- to keep Triple-X porn off of Saturday-morning cartoon-hour TV, you're in favor of censorship. If you don't think neo-Nazis should be allowed to make presentations at your kid's public school's career day, you're in favor of censorship. Heck, if you think the federal government is right to block cigarette companies from advertising to kids, you, my friend, are in favor of censorship.
So the relevant question -- which is invariably overlooked -- isn't whether or not you are "for" or "against" censorship. The relevant question is, What do you want to censor? Or, how much censorship do you want?
Right on, man. You may be the first left-of-center (which I'm guessing you are), Slashdotter that I have a good amount of political respect for.
I almost don't care that I disagree with you on points of substance now that you've shown yourself to be reasonable. You have no idea how refreshing that is.
Yeah, I guess 3000 hours of flight time with 500 hours in combat including more emergencies from engine failures due to fire to hydraulic failures to electrical failures to lightning strikes to...
Hey, cool! What video game do you like best? I'm addicted to those simulators, too.
And don't forget Apache's rainbowed feather. That's among my favorite.
Truly, though, what the heck is the "hacker" group? There's no such thing. Way too amorphous a group to have a logo--that's why there isn't one. I feel kinda stupid responding to this actually, because it seems like a joke.

I think that feature requests are similar enough to problem fixing requests so that you can just make that one of the choices when filling out a helpdesk ticket. Then they'd be easy to sort, and all in one place and searchable and all that good stuff.
Ahh....you know, I think it is a bridge. Oddly relevant for me right now, actually, because I'm getting more IP's from them. Can more than one IP be routed through a bridge, I wonder? I seem to remember that it can't be done. Guess I'd better figure that out...thanks!
All I use at the end of my DSL connection is a "network termination device" provided by the ISP, which I assume is a router that's so simple, it's almost just a wire.
At any rate, with something as simple and transparent as that, I never get "router misbehavior." I don't know what the ISP's you use provide, but I'd assume they give customers something; I don't know if you need more complex routing to be done on the device, but whatever needs to be done for your internal network should really take place on the firewall anyway.
No overtime, and the non-IT things that I'm stuck doing are usually sort-of related, like being on the HIPAA taskforce or helping a specific department migrate to an external system, or building a "strategic plan" for our company.
In addition to being a network, phone and system admin, I do custom developing for them too. I enjoy that better than the rest, and it makes me more valuable, I think. So it really depends on what things you're stuck with, how much you like it, and how good you are.
Yes, I do. And in fact, that's what he's been spending all this time. Right or wrong, the situation is that throughout the 90's, the Republicans failed in their attempts to keep taxes from increasing, but the Democrats failed in their attempts to increase spending; so we had high taxes with relatively low spending. The surplus was the result of this strange stalemate.
Being able to spend the surplus was the prize of the 2000 election. So Bush is doing just that. The Dems are just mad because he gets to spend it protecting our country rather than giving free pills to non-poor old people.
I don't know if it's legacy now, but the keyboard I use was from a dell server, and it's the best I've seen. Purely standard layout, very deep keys with solid clicking, rather large overall, but just such a serious hacker board.
If Dell doesn't sell those anymore, you could at least get one of their new black "quiet-key" keyboards. Very smooshy, which is alright if you're into that, and very small and lightweight with no extra goofy keys.
But before I uncapped him, I was able to glean this much about their mailing habits: apparently, whether true or not, there is a prevailing idea in the spam community that Wednesday mid-morning is the best time to send spam.
There idea is that this maximizes the likelihood of it being read; they consider weekends not to be important because people are occupied with funner things than spam; they consider Monday and Tuesday to be "warmup" days into the week, when people may actually be doing work. Thursday and Friday they consider "slackoff" days in which people not only don't do work, but don't read email either. So that leaves Wednesday. And if you analyze your logs further, I bet you'll find that the peak within Wednesday is mid-morning, not the grogy, naptime after lunch hours. That's what I see with my filter, anyway.
And what, pretell, personal liberties are currently being stripped away? I challange you to name even just one in connection with the Patriot act. The hubub about that thing is disproportionately hysteria over fact.
I would like for you to link to my web site so I can get some more hits. I found a flimsy excuse that I might be listed in some blacklist somewhere, so I'm sure that will make me more popular. Thank you.
Pretty good, but more like: "I went to the trouble to list my own site in a blacklist somewhere..."
I don't use tapes because I hate them. Granted in order not to use them, you need lots of spare hard drives, which I do.
First, I use mysqlhotcopy to get all sql data. Then, my backup server uses samba to tar and gzip up all data from various servers, Windows and Linux, into one place. Then it uses scp to send it all across the WAN to another backup server which keeps a business week rotation, and one month rotation. The other site does the same, and so far no problems at all.
This way you don't have to *hope* that your tapes aren't corrupt and jump through ugly hoops to retrieve your data. I would *not* recommend bzip, however; too damn slow and processor intensive, even with a dedicated backup server. Simply not scalable.
Actually, RFC's can't be re-written. To make changes they add a new RFC and use that instead. I guess it's for record-keeping and compatibility purposes.
How similar do you think spam and telemarketing are? In terms of theft, spam seems more serious (stealing bandwidth) than telemarketing (stealing time). Do you think that with the recent no-call list proposal's in the house of reps, anti-spam legislation will be given more credence?
Slashdot Mirror
Agreed. Seems there have been more and more "Public Enemy" spammers of late; and I for one, am happy that they are vulnerable.

Hey, cool! What video game do you like best? I'm addicted to those simulators, too.
No, what we get is a series of repetitive blood textures added to the grounds around where a traditional penetration damage model is taking place.
Hey, speak for yourself; I, for one, am quite a fan of traditional penetration.
I will find you tonight and pull your small intestines out of your nose.
how the heck do you convert AAC to MP3? i tried it out, and it seemed like any kind of "protected" music couldn't be converted in iTunes.
so are you doing some sort of hack or do you only listen to "unprotected music"? i must admit, i've not been up to date on all this.

oh, come on. who seriously thinks it's a big deal to have a filter on computers in schools?
they have every right to provide no internet access at all if they want, so why can't they limit access if they're good enough to provide it?

Odd, then, that everyone in the world could easily fit into Rhode Island.
