Ok, you win, I cant think of anything right now... I have a fiew case where they screw the users, but not developers... Lets hope its not going to stay like this.
He finances other terrorist organizations, and there is a lot of evidence supporting this. Who is to say that the next act is not going to be by one of these groups? Terrorism is terrorism no matter what the 'cause' is.
Dont be stupid. When you sanction US, you are sanctioning yourself in effect. As for Bush, he has over 65% support. I'd say thats a majority.:)
As for this war, I am for it. One step at a time to make sure that nether I or my family have to be involved in anything like 9/11 again. (My father and I have worked in WTC, it was a great place to be.) Its easy to be anti-war when you and your family is safe and dont live in fear of another 9/11.
I still live in NYC and not planning to leave. Its still a great city to live in!
Peace:)
While we are on the topic of linux books, I was wandering if anyone would recommend a linux book for a beginner (but someone who recompiled the kernel and messed with X before even knowing the 'less' command:-) ) Your help is appreciated.
I want more DRM! "The Digital Output is always active except when playing DRM encoded content, at which point it is disabled. This is a requirement of DRM support otherwise the Audigy 2 would simply not be able to play DRM encoded content, e.g. DVD-Audio, as would be the case for other non-supporting soundcards." Isn't it nice.
Microsoft will also share its Windows source code as part of its Government Security Program, which allows governments to adapt the software and test its ability to fend off hackers.
Russia was the first country to take advantage of the program in January. The source code--blueprints of Microsoft's dominant operating systems--is one of the world's most tightly protected corporate secrets.
Knowing russian social structure, (considering I used to live there...) that source will quicly become public.
"Because it gives a new level of control over the hardware, it's also of interest to digital rights management and security designers.
Call me paranoid, but I don't like it when things interest DRM people.
Also, since EFI has networking capability, wouldn't it be vulnerable to attacks? "My Linux system is so secure! ohh damn..."
fake: "Today in the news: 'Open Source Software Compatibility Bill' was passed today. The bill states that all OSS software must conform to M$ DRM software standards and must license M$ DRM."
I am sure that I am going to have a dejavu about this one in lets say 2 years! Bye bye linux, it was short but sweet...
It is rather uncomfortable to think about this with M$ in mind, but I would love to see this technology in the hands of open-source developers. Extract the good from the poison of DRM.

All this does is make other hackers/crackers/what ever look bad. It will not convert people. It will just piss them off.

I dont think so, its just that MS does it so often that we are now got used to walking with a nice steaming pile of shit on our heads. Kinda sad.

Not all secrets are to keep info that is usefull. Some times its to hide the stupidity and mistakes and so on...

KremlinXP anybody?
Coward.
M$ has been running after DRM for some time now, no surprise that they will use it in everything they have
.... to .... Oh damn, i cant print it due to DRM restrictions. I wander....
I wander if i can use this email to prove

Free speech is getting expensive...
We are techs/geeks, thats what we do. We don't politicize or make war! We do what we are best at.

I just love watching the corps dig their own graves! Don't you?
Hmm, $5 bucks off... Ahh who needs 10 fingers anyway!
