I despise MS as much as the next slashdotter, but I hate seeing MSNBC dissed--- They actually seem to go WAY out of their way to be impartial, as they realize evryone expects them to be, well, a MS...NBC flunky.
This arrest is news, not NEWS.
Sorry, friends don't let friends use Gnome;-)
I Haven't tried a Gnome setup yet that didn't crash my box in less than 10 minutes, and get permanently ignored from then on.

I don't disagree that tanks will be around for awhile, but IIANM, 80%++ of all vehicle kills were officailly given to the 5 squadrons (~120) of USAF A-10 drivers, as well as almost all SCUD finds/kills using their mavericks as night vision devices.
(visualize driving in LA looking thru a straw, looking for a winning bottle cap dropped on the side of the road somewhere)
Sorry, after seeing the results of A-10 V tank, I'll dig a hole, thanks.
They were even putting the F-16s INS/bomb nav in em, and full night vision, last I heard. I am glad I'll never lose that toss and be on the recieving team...
Ah grasshopper, warm intelligent bodies are still needed, perhaps more than ever, as now you have to keep the "bots" running, as well as all the neat, Winnebago size, multi million dollar tools.
They just won't be the ones moving stuff from point "a" to "b", and hitting "start".
Getting things fixed "right" in this environment is not optional.
No, please, go into detail, as I am one of the elves working on equipment, and am interested.
Won't be long before it's just the process guys and us.
BTW, is the SECS/GEM interface THAT bad?
Not doing it myself, it seems the whole thing needs a pile of PERL scripts, a database to keep track of stuff, and there you go...
Suggestion for a new "killer port" for The Kompany

PGP Acquired From NAI

· Score: 1
A nice little fully functional port from the "closed" PGP product line, ported to linux/bsd from The Kompany, intended to drop into the KDE environment would be a boon for corporate and government users.
(hook up with Redhat et. al.and bundle with distros)
Having said that, WM choice for an app tike this would mean very little, perhaps better to have a ncurses/X choice for a front end, driving the CLI in the UNIX tradition...
You may be trollish, but you may speak the truth.
Either way, it is unfortunate.

I tried Debian out finally the other day, after getting pissed at the rpm-go-round of trying to manually figure out the exponentially growing deps of installing a seeminly trivial package...
(cable modem) yanked down the beta install CD for woody, printed the brief (~2 pg) instructions, booted and did a ftp install- maybe 2 hours.
After installing a few non-std packages, an being able to simply "apt-get install xine" or evolution, and having the system just suck down all the needed files, rpm now seems to me to be as useful as square wheels...
It is slightly out of date, but seems stable as hell, and seems to use a fairly vanilla kernel, which was easy to fix... and actually build after patching, unlike Mandrakes last release or 2.
Redhat et al should really get a clue.
Debians packaging system at least rocks.
My father worked for GD back when the original shuttles design were fighting it out.
None of them won.
They were all primarily Titanium/inconel structures with very few tiles, half the size and more payload than the "winner"--- The originals were designed like military aircraft instead of commuter planes.
Some US congressmen said "titanium costs too much, redesign..." and the resulting abortion ended up costing 10X what the originals would have, 2x larger, and 1/2 the payload or less.
Not surprisingly, as no engineer EVER throws out a good design, the "New" proposed shuttles seem _strikingly_ similar to what was originally proposed >30 years ago, including the manned reusable launch vehicle...
Umm...
I think the point is those young girls weren't born then, and many who were and would/should be in grade 4-8 are now allowed to finally go to school for the first time.
Most probably feel that being able to read is Is A Good Thing.
`Dubya' may not be the sharpest pencil in the box, but he isn't under the delusion that he IS, and he is sharp enough to surround himself with those that are, and seems to listen.
It's not hard to understand what he _means_ unless you are pedantic about interpereting what he _says_ 30 different ways.

If I had seen this story on April 1, I would have skipped over it.
This shows a braindead company aggregiously abusing law enforcement to enforce a civil, not criminal, matter by making up ficticious charges and providing fabricated evidence.
I think there is a law against THAT too.
I think that one is a felony.
Someone should pay for this, but since no one will ever do any buisiness with this stupid company again, justice will be done if only via their bankrupcy.
Unbelievable.
You apparently have a large rice culture in your area, and not too many VWS, (Audi being VWs Buick)
You must not visit VW dealers very often.
SOMEONE has to have a Jetta(A3) with a VR6...
even a stock one puts out 200HP, about the same torque and a tractor like power band (power anywhere) 4WD is a factory option, and double that power is a fairly common occurence, if pricey.
(Or not if you build your own nitrous setup)...Or a old school bug with a 2++ liter motor.
VERY few rice cars survive those from a start.
Most American iron suffers the same fate.
Back on topic, without CAE, the ACVW has seen 40 years of evolution, and the performance available today is amazing.
(Especially a full on beetle at a dragstrip...
ACVWs give "normal" cars a lesson in "traction".)

Are they still accepting donations?
Can this text get added to the lameness filter?
It's getting old...
Agreed, if someone wants just a computer, $199 at Wal-Mart gets you a decent machine with Lindows, or probably Mandrake preinstalled.
That's cheaper than an X-Box as of today, no mods, and more games are available.
(I'd go with the Mandrake one personally. It has a user base with a clue, and it tends to work quite well)

It isn't the best, but it `aint bad
The cleverly named union busting laws usually known as "Right to Work" do have one upside...
Basically all sources say that any such work restiction clause is unenforcable in Texas.
OTOH, you have to move to Texas...

C`mon moderators, that was funny!!!
If I lived in Virginia, I would vote for this dude, even tho he IS a democrat.
If anyone has any links to previous stories on this guy, feel free to post.

Openmail was picked up by Samsung IIRC. (one of its biggest users, now owns it, support IS available)
Google also is quite good at putting up relevant ads as well. Sometimes it's actually what you're looking for!
