I know this is Slashdot, but don't you ever go outside? Not much you can do to sound proof your yard, is there. I assume you never open your windows either? Personally, I do both and if I were in England, I would hope the government would be spending a little effort to make living areas a little more liveable.
Most neighborhoods I've seen build near roads have large sound barriers that really cut down on the noise. In many cases where new roads are made or old ones enlarged, sound barriers are included in the construction.
Of course this doesn't actually put the cost of the things on the people who benefit from them. The people who benefit from these things should be the ones paying for them not the public at large. A better solution would be to have the homeowners association pay for the sound barriers.
Back when I first got ATT/Mediaone/whateveritscallednow they told be something very similar. You know what? Typing help in the address bar took me to their help site.
It is unclear why an exploit was made public before Apple resolved the problem.
The real question is why did it take 45 days for the public to be informed! When one finds a vulnerability one has a duty to inform the public so that immediate steps can be taken to secure the machine. Just notifying the vendor leaves my machines insecure until the vedor gets around to patching it.
What's even worse is having to explain it to the new girl at Radio Shack. She was the first idiot I've ever met there. She thought I was making it up until one of her coworkers chimed in.
The comment about male/female ends being the next target of PC speach police is right on target. With this level of knowledge out there any dumb idea will easily get implemented.
Most of these responces are something like "I can't for the life of me figuer out why you want to do this therefor you shouldn't do it" Or "It's just a bad idea to run a mail server on a cable modem"
The person asking the question is obviously some kind of geek (or he wouldn't be asking questions of/.) and has his own reasons for wanting to do this. Either answer the question do don't waste your time replying.
My only solution to this problem is to use smartforwarding with the company that hosts my webserver. I'm looking for another company that will provide me with full internet access insted of the crap that ATT/Mediaone/whateveritscallnow is providing me.
Why are the reviewers accepting "free" machines from the company? The right way to review is to buy the item off the shelf.
If the companies want to give the reviews vouchers or checks that might be OK (I know some of you will cry foul on that too). In any case the reviewers should be using what general public will get instead of something that could easily be modified to give better results on the test.
Perhaps they should instead try to make movies that are good enough that people will want to see them in the theaters, even after watching the rips in tiny windows on their PC's.
Good point. After seeing LotR on my PC I went that weekend to the theater to watch it. Now if only I had seen Episode I before going to the theater.
I actually found the list from the Federal Register. He link I used as at http://frwebgate1.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/waisgate. cgi?WAISdocID=91005011465+2+0+0&WAISaction=retriev e Here is the releveant text.

The really scary part is that next to last paragraph saying it doesn't matter if you have a constutional right or not, they are still going to detain you.
I have to agree with the original poster. The broadband connection is a luxury. Send the children to the public library. Almost all of them have Internet connections now even in the poorest areas.
There is a reason that poor people are poor and that about 1/3 of lottery winers go bankrupt after 3 years. Wasting $50/mo on a broadband connection is a perfect example.
I hope your 4 year old is watching some educational movies and not the latest mindless Hollywood crap. I'd suggest both of you find some videos on financial planning and economics.
Problem with the incremental approach being, by offering a half-assed system that will only appeal to people with a fair amount of confidence in their ability to set the system up from scratch, they're limiting the market drastically
Not only are the limiting the market but I think they will make the general acceptance of Linux take even longer.
Doing it half-assed will make people question once again if Linux is ready for prime time and could turn them off forever.
My experience when buying a Dell with RH pre-loaded was a real disaster.
I don't know how they installed or configured RH, but almost nothing worked without extensive reconfiguration or installing new drivers. I talked with the guy who replaced me and No one has ever figured out why the monitors only display 640x480 but will do 1600x1200 under windows just fine. Tech support from RH was non existant eventhough according to the papers we recieved with the machine, we paid for a year of tech support. Of course tech support from Dell was worthless too.
If I wasn't a geek wannabe (and didn't have my boss' support) I would have sent thing back for a nice Windows box that I know would work. Most people just want their computer to work. If their first experience with Linux is that they have to recompile the kernel to get stuff to work, they'll never touch Linux again.
I would be interested in knowing which was the first blog system site ever created. My guess would be LiveJournal.com but I won't be sure. Does someone has a clue?
Well I don't have a clue, but my guess would be blogger.com.
The "typical" administration job is exactly what you'd expect -- you're understaffed, underpaid, your budget is abysmal, and you have a gaggle of retarded secretaries calling you up asking the *same questions* constantly because they're too lazy to use the help system!
LOL. This is only typical if the admin is too stupid to set stuff up right and creates complex useless help systems. Most admin's I know spend all day reading web comics, downloading porn, reading slashdot, and reading bugtraq. Once in a while some crisis comes along, but most of the time things are planned to handle failures or other problems.
Given the world's view on other usefull tools (i.e. firearms), I think this guy is in real trouble.
The mindset in most of the world is that if a tool can in any way cause harm then it should be outlawed. Obviously DeCSS can be used to harm the DVD people. If they actually consider the benefits I'll be shocked.
