And it will be my only choice until ATI comes out with some halfway decent linux drivers.
Or ANY 64-bit linux drivers, which, considering that we're talking about AMD sales and Athlon64 is what most of the new boxes contain, is a real problem.
Given that Bones is actually dead and Scotty soon will be, that's an unlikely storyline. The other way round, with Shatner pushing the wheelchair, is just possible however..
The circumstances in the UK are similar to most of the rest of the western modern world: appropriately scoped non-compete agreements are allowable and enforceable.
Second that. In a similar vein, my contract (I work as an R&D consultant) says I'm not allowed to work for any of our clients for 12 months - to stop them poaching me I guess.
If you mean that the attacker could install code listening on any other port then a firewall running on the machine itself isn't going to help you - there's nothing stopping the attacker from shutting down the firewall while they're installing a rootkit.
Sure, if it's an attacker installing a rootkit then there's not much you can do. But internet worms aren't necessarily that sophisticated. Often they're just looking for unpatched unprotected boxes.
Firewall may still be a useful precaution in case there are un-patched vulnerabilities in your services. Can't necessarily count on there always being a patch released in time.
They will be working "on" Linux ( that is, they will be running it on their desktop ), but they will not be working "on" Linux ( writing code for the OS ). Oracle developers will be working on Oracle software.
Same applies to a lot of MS's Windows programmers, e.g. the ones working on those programs which aren't integrated into the OS core. Or maybe there are no such programs?
if letting a supercomputer cluster sift through my meaningless personal emails (which it will disregard) is the price I have to pay for not getting planes crashed on me, then I'll pay it.
And where has it been shown that this is the price you have to pay? Sorry, but it's not that easy. Stopping the planes crashing means a) using the information you have about your enemies, and b) understanding who they are, what their motives are, and how to cut their support.
Please explain how letting Ashcroft read your emails to your girlfriend/mom/dog achieves either of these goals?
Yeah sure buddy, cos we all know that if only the NSA could have read everyone's email more quickly, they could've stopped 9/11, right?
Seriously, when they start demonstrating that they can make use of the enormous amount of information they already have, then maybe I'll consider giving them more.
Instead they seem to produce a large amount of bullshit a lot of the time.
Far as I can see the NSA and other 'intelligence agencies' around the world are full of creeps and lamers who get off on the idea of pretending to be James Bond and listening to your phone calls.
When I was first told about him, I was told that he was a Unix expert who was teaching a class on multi-user environments in college. He wanted a cheap Unix clone for the students to work on, so he translated the Unix code for a 386 processor. In the end, he was rather surprised that it became so popular.
Sounds like whoever it was was confusing Linus and Andy Tanenbaum.
maybe I'm just in a bad mood but that guy seems to really enjoy being a smartass and getting people in shit. I hope one of the employees he dupes socially re-engineers his teeth next time.
But the point of a Constitution is to create a new country.
No it isn't. Lots of organisations have constitutions. A constitution is just a formal document specifying the rules and principles on which the organisation is based.
This includes throwing out many of the rights and freedoms of a 'freeborn Englishman' (which the Irish inherited) built up since Magna Carta.
The Irish didn't 'inherit' anything of the sort. Irish subjects of the Queen under the Union had considerably less rights and freedoms than their English counterparts. The rights and freedom they now have were won in the course of decades of political and violent agitation during the Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries.
There are astronomers working in Dublin (a small number of them anyhow), some of them with connections to Dublin University. However, as with all other cities elsewhere in the world, nobody (to my knowledge) does any observation work from Dublin or its environs any more. They used to, at Dunsink Observatory.

There are a lot of things Sun doesn't own. The agreement woulkdn't have specifically excluded OO.org if that was the only reason.
Why on earth would he want to do that?
Yeah but it would be a Utah jury deciding on a case involving a small Utah corp (SCO) going up against a big out-of-state corp (IBM).

HP sells a lot of AMD boxes. Check it out on their site.

..then we could back it unreservedly
Fairly certain that's supposed to be Richard Nixon.
I suggest you get in touch with the Irish Free Software Organisation. I'm sure they could use your help.

Given that he died in 1996, I guess that would indeed be something worth waking up for.

We were talking about the WMDs, you know, the ones that were ready to use and represented a clear and present danger to the US and its allies?
It had typographic style. This new one is too fussy. What's with the maze and the yellow paint splash? Looks like a book about home decorating.

Er, no. Britain wasn't even a member until 1973, fifteen years after it was founded.
