I have a brand new high end box that I play doom 3 on. Windows 2000, gig of ram, radeon 9600, etc. I also have a 5 year old viao that's about the thickness of 2 magazines stacked on top of each other. It's running a pared down redhat 7.2. If I only needed mail and web the vaio would be all I need. It's what you do that dictates what you need.
Now in order for them to allow me to commit an illegal act I have to share my email address?
What's next: "Before you rob a store you must inform the local police of your intentions"?
Just like it's illegal to not report profits from illegal activities to the IRS. It gives them more ammo to use against you. If they can't prove one thing, they have something else to go after you for.
His accomplise pleaded guilty and was sentenced to death, the article says. I always thought that the whole point of a guilty plea was to lower the severity of the maximum sentence.
Digging deep into my vast law experience (I have watch hundreds of episodes of L&O) - The prosecutors probably said, "No deals, we have all the evidence we need." The jury decides the fate in that state so perhaps he was hoping without all the details being laid out in graphic detail in the trial, they would spare his life. Or maybe he just 'Didn't give a fuck'.

Most people, present and future, will probably remain ignorant forever. No book will solve the problem of internet/computer security for the masses. The computer needs to solve it. People just aren't interested.
Back in the.com days, I worked at a huge (now defunct) porn site. We had about 50,000 active hosted sites, 500,000 hit counters and a bunch of other stuff. We were getting tens of millions of page views daily, maxing out two 100 megabit circuits at times. It was all FreeBSD, a little Redhat, Perl, mysql, squid, apache, mod_perl and C. The only real closed stuff we used were BigIPs and traffic monitoring software.
Honestly, the technology exists right now to automatically drive my car along a freeway. I could probably set this up today with a few thousand dollars in hardware and a lot of code.
You should do it. I suggest naming it the Computerized Road Automated Steering Helpbot.
You must have crappy phone service. I rely on a land line for my home alarm/fire system. Between cell, VoIP (which relies on my ISP), and land lines there is absolutely no contest when it comes to reliabilty. I have been using land lines for 30 years and can't remember an outage on a land line. As for my ISP and cell, I can't count the number of dropped calls or net outages.
And the fact that if u take AOL broad band (even cable) you have to run a bloated software which doesnt run on Linux just to connect. (I tried it bcos they had a 45 days free trial and I was short of money... but it was useless becos I couldnt use it on my linux machine)
So the grammer/spelling/general annoyingness problem doesn't go away even after you stop using AOL?
I've been doing natively in OS X for a couple of years
Netscape on the Mac has tried any single word you type in the address bar with 'www' prepended and 'com' appended. I haven't used a Mac since 1999, but as far back as I can remember, that was a ?feature of Netscape at least back to 2.0 running on Mac OS 7.

It's called 'new', 'kind of new', and 'old'.

More like a beowulf cluster of (truth + lies + trolls + bias + opinions + misinformation + etc) with no accountability.

Nope, that's the other 20%. And those are constantly on.

Is that they'd get the turn signal thing fixed. Seems like 80% of the vehicles here in Seattle don't even have them.
But deployment...that's another story.
at least as reliable as my normal phone.

If I want to see frothing at the mouth, I'll go to the pound and watch them put down rabid animals.

Be there, done that.
Anyone remember RealNames? Me neither.
Anyone remember Adwords?

Damn Slashdot's liberal banning policies forcing me to troll via ssh and links from the data center.
In 1988 an Elector cast her vote for Michael Dukakis's running mate, Lloyd Bentsen, even though Dukakis won the state's popular vote.
Reminds me of my wife - sometimes she puts the forks where the knives go...simple mistake, but you know how women can be.
With perl, you can learn all that with 6 characters.
Oh yeah - "Jumped the shark."
Mysql under certain circumsances.
That I sincerely doubt.
Who said Linux could not make it in the print world ?
I believe it was Rhett Oracle.
