Everyone knows the best way to stay safe is abstinence. Just don't use Windows at all. But if you have to do something, go for the ugly step child that no one knows about (she is younger anyway): Linux.
I pay $45 a month for RoadRunner cable. That is for a connection with 4000kbps down (with rumors of that increasing, but I already get 700kB/sec from their newsserver) and 256kbps up. That connection does have its limits but by looking at my recent monthly reports using DUMeter, it looks like in the past 3 months I haven't been below 90 gigs/month on transfers and in the last 3 months I've downloaded almost 400 gigs of data. With all that RoadRunner still hasn't sent me any kind of warning stating I need to tone it down any.
Even with this being capped at 8mbit do you really have that much to download that you would have to worry about it? It was damn hard to get 160 gigs downloaded in the month of November for myself and so I think 500 gigs is plenty despite being able to hit it fast. If you don't have enough to download to reach the limit it doesn't matter how fast it would download now would it? I am also running a ftp server and have it running on a non-default port only for a friend of mine who can't go OUT on port 21 using her cable provider. My IP has changed only 4 times in the 2 years I've had the service and it has only gone out 2 times w/o prior warning. I'm happy with it.
The key part to your situation that you are glossing over is the fact that you stayed with IBM for your application server. You didn't switch vendors. I worked with people who are developing a web-based application using EJBs,servlets, and whatever else you can think of and they started out using BEA. After some development time, and for various reasons, they wanted to run the application on JBOSS. This took 1 guy a day or 2 (he was doing other work too) to make the code work in JBOSS. BEA made them code in specific items in order for it to work with their product. They had to rip those out or change them to make the application work with JBOSS. This isn't necessarily a problem with Java itself but it does show that if you switch application server vendors that it isn't always a smooth transition. By the way, the application I speak of accessed Oracle and LDAP as well.
If evolution teaches us anything it's that scientists have no idea how to correlate evidence into useful theories. In fact, evolution gives scientists enough confidence to make them think they know what happened millions of years ago when they weren't even alive and to actually see gaping holes in fossil records but still conclude there is something at work.
The human brain and the Universe are the 2 biggest items that humans are trying to unravel and after all this time, although we are closer, we are still so far away. A creation can never be smarter than its creator, otherwise, why ever need the creator? The creation should be smart enough to create itself before it even exists. Nice paradox huh? Don't get this confused with being able to reproduce.
I guess it never occurred to you that some things like instinct go even further beyond just memory capability and show the true power behind who created the human species as well as all animal life on this world. The same chemical reactions that sustain life can not create life. Instinct is even more of a mystery than memory and both go deeper than just evolution.
It would take an awful lot of energy (maybe even infinite, I forget exactly and don't want to look it up) to get up to the speed of light for a particular object. As that object speeds up it takes more and more energy to get it to go faster (E=MC^2). By the time you even get going as fast as 10% the speed of light it would take a tremendous amount of energy and, especially right now, mankind just can't produce that amount of energy.
Who says you have to compete with the rich person? Who says you have to compete with anyone else who is in the stock market? It's not a race, or at least it shouldn't be. I would think you would be in it to help yourself or whatever, not to see if you can make more money than someone else.
It doesn't take a rich person to buy stock. Some stocks are $1 a share and obviously with $100 you could buy 100 shares. Obviously unless its an oddity the stock won't go up much but then again it won't go down that much either.
Well the acts that makeup Creationism only took 7 days, Evolution has taken supposedly billions of years. Who do YOU think will get done first? If that doesn't speak of a supreme being I don't know what does. Evolution doesn't seem to get it right the first time around, or the thousandth. How many iterations are we into now? The only good thing going for it is that the bad versions tend to disappear. With Creationism you get everything you need on the first version and whether you believe or not, the code seems to be doing pretty damn well and doesn't need any maintaining. It's even readable by people who didn't write it without any comments.
Surely there are people out there who know the same weaknesses of the OSes that Frank does but did not write code that was spread throughout the Internet that exploited those weaknesses. A virus exploits weaknesses in operating systems whether it is spread or not. Some people just can not be trusted. Would you hire a convicted child molester to babysit your child? There are reasons why companies do background checks on people. Maybe some criminals do repent but without getting into their mind how can we know for sure? They are tainted for life and it is their own fault.
2. The reviewer faulted this tool for not finding cookies. Big whoop. Seriously, cookies are highly overrated. Ad-Aware is a pretty good tool, but its insistance in clearing out all my cookies causes me to have to redo passwords and such for websites that I would have rather left alone. This utility ignoring the cookies is a good thing.
After AdAware finds cookies on my system I have the ability go see the listing to be sure that nothing will be deleted that I want. Never has it picked up cookies (whether they are actually there or it is smart enough to ignore them) that it shouldn't have and a lot of the cookies of "advertising" in the filename. If I don't want any of them deleted I can simply uncheck the checkbox next to them. Simple.
An in the eastern part of the US where I live although the winters may not be as bad as they used to be, our summers aren't as hot as they used to be either so what does that mean? Global warming is seasonal? You don't have both global warming and global cooling. They would cancel each other out the longer you take data measurements over 5, 10, 20 years. We are acting like we understand the climate of this planet after only being on it a few thousand years. We even think we know the origin of man and the universe and we weren't even around to see them. Humans have big egos and they keep getting bigger, that much is definitely true.
In a chaotic system there are always going to be minor deviations. As you look at the bigger picture you start to see patterns forming that you couldn't see when your view was too small. 100 years of stats doesn't tell us anything out of the ordinary, let alone 30 years of data.
I don't know about the assets he had. I wasn't notified of any of that as far as I can remember. For all i know/remmeber, he had assets that were already sold to others who got ripped off more and I'm left to wait for him to work for the rest.
I didn't say killing people in the name of God is okay. God doesn't have humans kill people for him because he already says murder is a sin so he would contradict himself if he told us to kill someone. We have plenty excuses we makeup ourselves as to why we want to kill someone (mostly for convenience). No where in the Holy Bible does it state that it is okay to kill someone(there is a commandment specifically against it) so I hope you aren't including that book in your grouping of "religious texts". Those who say God told them to kill someone are wrong.
I got ripped off on Ebay many years ago (when other auction sites were still around, and I don't think there are any others nowadays) and I filed a complaint with the Post Office. After about a year or 2 the Attorney General of Idaho (the thief was from there) eventually contacted me and said the guy had been caught after other people had filed complaints. He was convicted and sent to jail. I was ripped off $750 or so and got back about $30 of that recently (about 5 months ago) because the guy is working while in jail and is paying people back as he makes money. I believe the priority of who gets money back first is being based on who got ripped off the most. I don't know where in that list I fall. I have a feeling it might be a while before I see the other $700+ he owes me because it took 5 years to see the first $30.
The difference between current driver's licenses and what may end up being the implementation of a natioanl ID system is that the national ID system (not what this current article is about) may very well institute the ID *in your body* such as a chip or something. As it is, it is possible to lose and forge driver's licenses. You can't forge something that has been embedded into your skin unless you can do some pretty good suturing that makes it look like an original, and you can't lose it either. When the ID system is literally tied to the individual is when we need to worry, as well as whoever ends up with ID 666.
Individual door access can still be keyed for the ID badges. I can get into most doors at the facility I work at but there are still some doors that I can't, using the SAME badge. If any top secret areas are deemed, well, top secret, then explicit access should be granted and the problem is solved.
Since at around 800 km/h, wind resistance is a real factor, higher waves might even be considerably dampened on their way through the sea.
Tsunamis in the middle of the ocean just look like any other wave because the ocean is not shallow there and therefore the wave does not rise above the surface of the ocean.
For the same reason virus writers put their handle in the code of the virus. For the same reason crackers brag about what they did to their friends.
It's for bragging rights and who better to brag about how many programs they have (Houdini, Maya, 3d studio Max, etc.) than a geek, who until now, had nothing they could brag about?
AOL still has the email addresses do they not? You can't steal from someone but still leave what you stole behind now can you? If I tell you about an account I have but don't know whether it's legit or not but I sell it to you anyway then how could that be stealing if it turns out to be a real address? It's not stealing. Looking at AOL's DB of email addresses is just an easier way of guessing what the legit email addresses really are and selling them.
I don't understand why it's so difficult for the OSS community to just get the point -- some people don't want to play in your sandbox. Yet, invariably, I see the constant calls to hassle developers because of the choice they've made. Sure, some of them may not be aware that non-Windows users have an interest in their product, but I will bet dollars to doughnuts that the vast majority just choose not to. Is it so hard to accept that not everyone wishes to adopt or assist in your cause?
Gee, sounds like the majority of the U.S. and their fight against the homosexuals who seem to think the rest of the country agrees with their lifestyle.

The key is to change the question to "have you ever bought/rented a movie online?" I hear netflix is popular for pirating movies.

If RPM did indeed "suck" by all reasonable standards I don't think you'd see Red Hat, Suse, Mandrake, and the Linux Standards Base using it.
Bad analogy, millions of people still use Windows.
