I am overweight(yet quite active, basketball, raquetball, etc)
People who are skinny seem to fall in 3 catagories
1. Very high metabolism and/or 2. Exercise ALOT and/or 3. Stop eating when they are full
Since most people are #1, can't do #2, if you have to go with #3. But losing weight is quite simple. When you are full stop eating, and don't eat again until you are hungry again.
I know it is much much harder than it sounds. But this seems to be the only reasonable way to lose weight and keep it off. These low carb or low fat diets seem to be alot of work, and I can't believe they are the most healthy diets. Plus, if you teach yourself to stop when you are full, don't eat until you are hungry, it becomes easy to lose or mantain weight yet you still eat generally what you want, just not as much of it.
would anyone want to waste an expensive machine on Linux?
Seriously, this isn't trying to be flamebait... I think Linux is a great OS but it has been lagging behind in the hardware support department. If you buy a machine that can support more than 4Gb of ram, chances are the following statements are true:
-blah -blah -blah blah -blah blah blah
Linux has lost the battle... I'm not saying that it's dead, but noone in their right mind would run it on entireprise-class hardware.
This has probably already been mentioned or too obvious, but worth repeating.
Make sure to stop all programs that you don't need from being started up. There are programs out there that will tell you what is being started and from where, can't remember any names.
1. pays $90,000 in taxes 2. pays $9,000 in taxes 3. pays $1,000 in taxes
You realize that you overcharged and have $10,000 extra dollars. How should the money be divided up?
Then people complain when the 3rd person only gets $100 dollars back/cut and the 1st person gets $9,000 back/cut. Saying the tax cut/rebate was just for the rich.
I _used_ to play Counter-Strike. But it took to much time too many cheaters.
Two reasons I haters cheaters.
When I made a great move or kill or too many kills in a short amount of time, people would call me a cheater. I would get tired of defending myself.
In other games(real basketball) when someone makes a nice move or shot/pass, I tell them so(Complimenting other players seems to keep egos in check, and thus more fun) The problem is in Counter-Strike I never know if they are cheating or not.
I am not a lawyer but my understanding when it comes to software it that you never purchase software, you only license software. Purchase implies you can do whatever you want with it because you own it. License implies that there are restrictions on the softwares usage.
I have nothing against Linux, Windows, or FreeBSD. I use Linux at work, FreeBSD and Windows at home.
It seems to me the FreeBSD makes a server than Linux, but Linux is a better workstation. Linux is getting much better(server stuff) every year. Alot like Windows is getting much better at server stuff each year.
But in the end I think the media and the early BSD license issue are the big reasons. Also, BSD seems a little more of a closed circle while Linux is a free for all. Maybe developers found it easier to involved with.
These thoughts are fairly random, take them for what they are worth.
Slashdot Mirror
Where do you live?
Intelligent reply. Why post ac?
Also the point about believing their own hype is well taken.
I have always mantained the piracy has help MS more than anything else.
And that if people were forced to follow MS letter of the law, they would switch.
I am also not anti-MS and consider them to be quite nimble and smart business-wise.
But I don't understand why they are doing this sort of thing.
Do they feel their hold is strong to not worry about folks dumping MS products.
If you wanted MS to go bankrupt, I would think product activation would be your great hope.
Or do they feel they can keep their hold on big businesses and who cares if a few users or small businesses look elsewhere?
Any insight?
It is not just in programming books.
This same thing is fairly common in cookbooks.
Many of the recipes in cookbooks if you actually follow the directions and ingredient list exactly, would not come out right.
So when your double fudge walnut chocolate upside down cake doesn't taste right it might not be your fault.
Is anyone starting to see EQ as a problem?
I don't/won't play EQ because I know I could easily spend way too much time playing this game.
I don't many people who play EQ(I am married with children) But I do know a few, and from them and what I can tell
Are people getting serious addicted to EQ like a drug? I know people joke and call it EverCrack but
how big of a problem is it?
Are marriages, grades, family lives failing because of this game?

Now if I could only follow my advice.
Do you play many games(board or computer)?
Ever play chess? Checkers?
About about minesweeper?
But go ahead and take your pop shots... oops that was a reference to war. Sorry didn't mean to offend.
mods: you can go ahead and mod me as flamebait, but the above poster is anything but insightful

Seems like everybody is saying this guy has no rights because he a spammer(the lowest life form).
What if this guy spoke harshly about the government, would you feel the same?
If he was an abortion doctor would he feel the same?
If he was a communist would you feel the same?
I find it almost humorous the people who rail for rights until they disagree.
The question is can you do to anyone what was done to the spammer. Not whether or not he was a spammer.
One side or the other folks, no sitting in the middle.
Yes, software is like drugs.
You give it away or sell it very cheap, until your enough customers are hooked.
Then you raise prices.
Remember piracy is the best thing that has ever happened to Microsoft.
This has probably already been mentioned or too obvious, but worth repeating.

Common question, my fairly uneducated answer.
OpenBSD: extremely secure, seems to be ideal for firewalls, etc.
FreeBSD: extremely stable, great for servers and like.
NetBSD: extremely portable, runs on tons of different processors(50+ ?)
FreeBSD seems to be the most widely used of the BSD's.
3 people:
1. pays $90,000 in taxes
2. pays $9,000 in taxes
3. pays $1,000 in taxes
You realize that you overcharged and have $10,000 extra dollars. How should the money be divided up?
Then people complain when the 3rd person only gets $100 dollars back/cut and the 1st person gets $9,000 back/cut. Saying the tax cut/rebate was just for the rich.
Someone talking about routers, but not the type that moves packets!
What is Slashdot coming too!

The problem is in Counter-Strike I never know if they are cheating or not.
Thus is the end, is simply ruins the game.
kid? hmpf!
As I said I am not a lawyer not a expert.
>You don't have to agree to anything before installing software.
I am a little confused, what rights to the makers of the software have then?
So for a home network set-up, ipfw should be fine. It is when you want to get down and dirty you might choose ipfilter.
This may be a little offtopic as it applies to firewalls and not BSD, bear with me.
Why all the different firewalls programs, do they function differently, perform different functions?
Different target user or target networks?
They all seem to be trying to do the exact same thing? Why the variety?
Think: first plant in the mainland US.
They sell you the software, but as a third party. You still have to agree to the software license before installing it on your computer.
I am not a lawyer but my understanding when it comes to software it that you never purchase software, you only license software.
Purchase implies you can do whatever you want with it because you own it.
License implies that there are restrictions on the softwares usage.
You are an idiot.
> You'd be sterile
And that would matter around here why?
Just a joke. Move along.
OK this will be modded as flamebait but I have the karma.
Ask people why they use Linux over BSD.
1. Better hardware support(true)
2. More software available(true)
3. Everybody else is(media influence)
4. Easier(maybe)
Ask people why they use Windows over Linux
1. Better hardware support(true)
2. More software available(true)
3. Everybody else is(depends)
4. Easier(true)
