I have guns. My dad has even more, and thousands of rounds to boot. There are millions and millions more just like us here in the good ol US of A. Gotta love that 2nd amendment.
Nobody can invade America. They'd get wiped out. No other country has the arial capability it takes to gain an invading edge. And a ground war would be suicide for whatever country tried it.
Man! Are we leavin' every other country in the military dustbin or what? I can't think of any country that can wage war with America anymore. Don't know if that's good or bad, but I'm sure glad to be an American.
Sure a terrorist can reek some havoc, but they'll never "win" anything. We can level whole military infastuctures without cuasing collateral damage anymore. WEEEEEEEEE! I can melt your tanks and radars without using bombs, so no more hiding them in schools you lousy commie-muslim-leftists!
...that's the year the Palestinian government (at the time) started kicking Jewish settlers out of Palestine. The palestine's didn't want "infidels" and "zionists" in their "holy land" so they tried to kick the jews out. But the jews ended up kicking their asses instead, and formed Israel. The Arabs(babaloynians) started it becuase they can't share or play nice with their neighbors.
Mohamed and the Muslims conquered Judiah in the 7th century. A quote from the Jerusalim sacking aftermath says, "The streets were filled with blood up to knee level."
I have no problem with the Jews taking thier land back. Even if it is after 1300 years. If Native Americans started a revolution in A.D. 3000 to take North America Back, who's side would you be on?
Your argument has no merit. I could say the same thing about Creationist. The Bible says it took God six days to create the "World/Universe". Is a day to God 24 hours? Or a billion years? That is up to theologins in the Vatican to ponder. And whatever Dogma comes forth, you'll happily lick up I'm sure.
The Creationists are the same ones who tried to silence Gallileo/Capernicus regarding the Earth not being the center of the universe 350 years ago. Gallileo was jailed for a few years for publishing a book about it. 350 years later, we KNOW the Earth is not the center of the universe, Dogma aside. So who is right and who is wrong...time will tell.
I'd much rather have the money spent on getting evolution out of the school systems
I'd rather spend my money getting fundamentalist ideals out of the school system all together, that includes creationism.
Goku is a badass...and could probably wipe the floor with everybody except Yoda. Yoda could use a Jedi mind trick or something. Goku isn't the smartest guy around.
But I think he's not on the list cuase he hasn't been a hero icon for 40+ years like the others.
"What? I'm supposed to buy this shit! 2,000 clock cycles and you can't find an OS to fit the bill? Come on Dave...you must be doing something seriously wrong."
Apple is a OEM. Why would they build OS X to run on a x86? To make 50,000 geeks happy, or to show Billy how to make a real OS from a BSD kernel? Where is the capital gain for Apple to switch Hardware platforms?
It looks like the Patent Office web site may infringe on PanIP's newly granted patents.
I suppose that would be true if I was a customer of the US Patent site. But they don't sell anything so I'm just a visitor. The patents are about selling things on web pages, not making or viewing web pages.
I think I'm going to patent Ctrl-Alt-Del as "A method of simultaniously entering textual commands into a graphical computer interface."
Your story sounds almost exactly like an experience I had in Key Largo back in August of '99.
It was 5:30am and it was still dark out. Me and a friend of mine were looking out over Blackwater Sound when I noticed three slightly illuminated rectangles moving just above the cloud deck (about 3000 feet I guess), heading NNW from the Atlantic. At first I assumed it was lights shining on the bottom of a jet, as it was moving a little faster than a prop plane would. But I couldn't hear anything, nor could I see the shape of the plane (it was just starting to get twilight). Me and my friend were stumped as to what it was.
I wanted to entertain the fact that I had just saw a UFO, but all my instincts told me it was a secret gov plane. The flight path made me think it might be a spy/recon plane that had just returned from checking out Cuba.
Now that I've seen a bottom profile of the Bird of Prey, I'm almost certain the strange tri-rectangle shape I saw was the bottom of one of these things with its landing lights on. It was probably on final approach for Homestead AFB.
Oui! I thought I couldn't spell (i.e../'ers). Ok...It's assistant and electronic(- al). Electronical isn't a word in an English dictionary.
Other than that, I'd say get a job doing some real manual-type labor for a couple years before you get a desk job, or else you'll turn into a Jabba-like human. Developing some muscle strength while your still in the late stages of development, will keep you fitter later in life. If you've been a fat slob all your life, and at 35 you decide to get in shape, it's going to be, like, 5 times harder.
I used to frame houses(construction job) when I was around 18, and 10 years later, I can still do handstand pushups(like 8...when I'm sober). Course it helps that I only weight 150lbs, but I never work out or anything.
While they can license the *media*, can they actually say the purchaser doesn't own the hardware itself?
You can do whatever you want with the X-Box hardware, it is your Hardware. You bought it, it is now yours. You can even resell it without getting sued for piracy and other EULA crap. You can't copyright hardware cuase it can't be copied, only manufactured, that's why you don't need licsense agreements for harware. There is no "good-faith" agreement with hardware (i.e. a EULA is a "good-faith" contract to a court of law, between you and the software manufacturer).
What you CAN'T do is run MS X-Box games and other MS Software on a Mod'd X-Box, that violates the terms of use of MS software. Which is why they don't want you to Mod-Chip-It, becuase then you are not legally able to run X-Box games on that console.
It has nothing to do with Linux. If you could get Linux to run on an X-Box without mod'ing the bios in some fashion...MS wouldn't care, becuase you could still legally run games on it. They are trying to make they're draconian licsensing more legalease by adopting this stance, in case they have to go to court.
The above is not legal advice. That can only come from a qualified attorney who is familiar with all the facts and circumstances of a particular, specific case and the relevant law.
I meant that the group permissions in Win are a joke, and they don't really protect anything from a serious attack. They were designed to prevent unauthorized software from being installed by non-admins on a domain. It was a convienence thing for admins, not especially for security. They aren't intergral to the OS, just the file system, you can end run around the file permissions through the OS via escalation.
Which is why WSH is dangerous. You don't have to be admin to make WSH start erasing.dll's on the machine. The group settings under windows are for users convienence, not security. It is not group permissions in the same sense as *nix group permissions, it's a cheesy fake-out labled 'group permissions' by marketing dips so they can 'claim' Win is secure. It doesn't really matter if it is or not to them.
However, to get Perl to do admin things on a *nix box, you have to start the process as admin/root/whatever or else it can't access the files, and the OS won't let you escalate. That's security, not marketing spin.
If I told you I was posting from NT4.0sp6 could you mod down the parent so I'll stop posting at 2. Thanx.
Now that that's out of the way. It is very easy to build an active X control that can bypass login sytems on Win boxes. I know becuase this box I'm posting from was cracked that way...many moons ago. File permissions on NTFS mean nothing when the OS controlling them gives full access to programs that are running, even if they were started by a guest/user.
"Flesh(Win) is a trap...and Magic(*nix) sets us free." -Dorthea Swan i hope somebody gets the inside *nix joke
A better thing to blame would be running as administrator (in NT-based Windows systems) full-time, rather than as a non-admin user
Given that Win doesn't have group ownership for files, it really doesn't matter if your running as admin or guest. You can still use WSH as a guest and be able to fuck with system files, you just can't play with the registry...nice security model, it doesn't exist for files on Win systems.
Perl on the other hand can't mess with files if the UID for the process doesn't have permission to...ooohhh, file security.
...the fact that only one(u10) Unix vulnerablity has to do with the OS itself, and the rest are program related. All of which can easily be removed without harm to your boxen.
However, 4(w4, w5, w7, w10) of the Win vulnerabilities are integral parts of the OS so you can't remove/fix them without hosing your PC.
Gee, which OS is more secure...looks like *nix again. So no, they are completely different.
My 5 year old nephew doesn't understand how to install a PC game, even if only in 4 clicks. So he plays N64 instead, but that doesn't make him 'unintelligent'.
Console gaming is very easy to use. All you have to do is pop in a new CD and your good to go. Compare that with the install and config for PC games...oh, and of course hardware conflicts and Direct3D support lacking in some OS's.
Plus, you can throw a console across the room and it'll probably still work. Try that with a Dell.
I'd say the convenence factor of consoles is why they are more popular with consumers.
Slashdot Mirror
USA didn't use everything it had in Vietnam.
Israel hasn't tried to conquer the Palestine's, just co-exist (not very well).
Russia could wipe Chechnya off the map if it really wanted to.
In Iraq, the USA wiped out the world's 3rd largest army in 3 days. 3 days!
In Afganistan, the USA wiped out a 500,000 thousand man army with only 3,000 ground troops in 2 months.
So uh...what was your point.
Nobody can invade America. They'd get wiped out. No other country has the arial capability it takes to gain an invading edge. And a ground war would be suicide for whatever country tried it.
Not really. I was using it as a reference to the fact that the Jews and Arabs have been fighting for thousands of years, since biblical times.
Sure a terrorist can reek some havoc, but they'll never "win" anything. We can level whole military infastuctures without cuasing collateral damage anymore. WEEEEEEEEE! I can melt your tanks and radars without using bombs, so no more hiding them in schools you lousy commie-muslim-leftists!
