Oh, and since when is governmental mandatory hardware configuration democratic..?
It's democratic because it benefits the people and not private
organizations. I think its nice to see some actual democracy in
the world even if I have it's capitalistic twin here in the US.
Maybe you made this comment in jest, after all you actually have the word gun in
your username and you link to a site called carnagepro.
But going by the moderation which calls you insightful, I'd like to disagree. I suggest you read a little history, and discover the atrocities that man will do to man with no provocation, just a little greed. The greed for wealth and control. You realize that at this moment over 20 armed conflicts are happening in this world because of that greed? And this happens over and over, because people have nothing to be afraid of, no reason to defend themselves, until people start hacking their families to bits with machetes, or someone starts kidnapping people to be sold as slaves.
You might not have been serious, but this is no joking matter to me. My trust lies with no man other than me. This comes from actually experiencing warfare first hand, and studying history. It may be cynical, but it is realistic.
I think the scales have tipped the other way.
It used to be a cardinal sin to be incompatible with MS Windows.
That lead to a culture of catching up feature wise with MS.
But sorry; those days are over. Microsoft realizes full well that
they must be transparent to other OS's. And this holds true for any
organization I don't care who it is.
There is no excuse for incompatability like that to exist.
You stumbled on what the terrorists really want right there. And its what the article misses. Money Money Money. Fear is not an end in itself, the real point is economic. Does any fool really think they give a fuck if Joe Blow is terrified? And I'm afraid to say that its been working splendidly. I've been saying this since 9/11 and watching it happen all too predictably.
Look at the billions (trillions?) spent (wasted) on the "war" on terror, and look at what's been accomplished. Sure some attacks have been stopped but what is the actual cost/effect ratio there?
The *trained economist* bin Laden is surely laughing in his proverbial cave but not for the reasons everyone thinks.
My sad opinion is that you don't have to move to an island, you just have to wait until this out of control monstrosity puts itself out of business, just like the "terrorists" want, and have very tranparently wanted since the beginning of this bullshit. How long are we expected to keep supporting this ridiculousness? Most people ~realize~ that it's ridiculous, but still it goes on.
Anyway, I'm hoping for a short wait.
>I had to manually install Python 2.4 from source, remove the package, and then go from there.
Shouldn't be necessary. I had almost the exact same problem yesterday but with bittornado. All you need to do is uninstall the affected packages and whatever python packages it depends on. (Possibly dragging others with it.) Then reinstall
what you just removed.
I think the important part is removing the python packages.
I can't confirm this for sure, but what I was told when I got out of the army was that I would be on the terrorist watch list for 4(?) years afterword.
This was due to the nature of my job (combat engineer, ie explosives. Timothy Mcveigh had engineer training.)
Now my name is far from Mohammed and there are plenty of others in the same boat. It makes me uneasy to know that I may be tracked like that.
I wonder if any slashdotters have any access to the actual "list"
I've been reading slashdot for quite a few years.
I can't remember having to go a 1/4 down a comment list to see the first comment about the actual article.
It will be a benchmark in my life to be sure.
Thats right. You both are right. Open Source is so-fucking-great.
My way or the highway. Fucking A Right.
Add that to the 196 window managers on fm.net and my way is any way that you can think of. So Fucking Great.
If you don't like it no one here cares. Because we have choices beyond number. If you don't want choice why should that matter to anyone else?
3)I don't even want to know (or mention) where this comes from. possibly an innovation? fucking gross. Is the 'g' in garbage silent?
4)Unix
5)OSX (not a feature but a byproduct of the new wm. bfd.)
These are only a drop in the bucket. Why would I pay for pure rip offs and cheesy "innovation?" Give your money to these the true pirates and reap what you sow. I repeat these are not bugs.
The way that I see it is that the World Economy that exists right now was built on the backs of people like my father and my grandfathers. (2 steelworkers and a coal miner btw.)
What I see now is that the massive and not so massive corporations alike raping and plundering those who got them rich.
But you know what? If you spend 1 dollar, one fucking cent buying corporate goods or if you work for one of them then you are part of the problem. Obviously this problem won't go away easily. How many of us can really say we don't suckle at the teat?
I really don't see any way other than what I have inferred. Do you expect the government to do anything about it? You and I may truly be the last hope to save what our fathers built from the plunderers.
just to clarify... NK didn't launch a missle in reaction to a US visit (especially considering the 30 some thousand permanent troops here) but perhaps in concurrence with the inauguration for the new president; which Colin Powell attended

May be obvious to a lot of people but it's not only so in Canada. Why do you think you buy "music" cd's or "data" ones? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blank_media_tax
Ok I mean Is there really an excuse for the first Daikatana post to be this far along???? Come on people!

I can't seem to figure out the formula for the +5 funny slashdot response here...
that might work, but how is that defense going to work when they raided your house and confiscated your hard drives?
Wait.. so you mean its not our fault? We're off the hook? Ok back to what you were doing everybody. Phew That was a close one.
These are not issues these are the BEST features.
1)DRM
2)Standards hijacking
3)I don't even want to know (or mention) where this comes from. possibly an innovation? fucking gross. Is the 'g' in garbage silent?
