these mathematicians must be using chaos theory to get these results!
1. the dolts in public service here (in Florida) can't even get the far simpler plurality system working
2. the Borda count is used for college football rankings here, and the sole purpose for that is to CAUSE WEEKLY CONTROVERSY , which it does, and keep interest in the sport high.
maybe we should end it all and use the BCS to choose our politicians (crooks).
Apparently, Windows is adding a stock photography Kernel Extension, this will take the hassle out of showing fake images on a royalty free basis, in addition it only uses 256 MB of DDR ram. thankfully, it is always enabled and has a nice quick start icon for you. yum yum.
maybe this will make the registry suck less monkey balls? just kidding, no amount of good photography will do that!
well, what can you say, one half of all americans are FUCKING morons. the rest live in florida (i know, i'm here too). you say truth. the DoJ was pushing this case all the way until John "I can't belive I lost to a dead guy in an election" Ashcroft killed the successful prosecution. Anyone see what Harvey Pitt's been doing lately? We wuz robbed! Gore in '04!
aside from the obvious, something just clicked in my mind about the more subtle influences on the megalith that is m$.
ok, their new "Trustworthy" computing initiative. where the hell does that come from??? i don't worry about trusting my (non-m$) machine. maybe they are trying to make the public forget (swallow) the Anti-Trust headlines. Fact is, they are a monopoly trust, the issues they're deciding tomorrow are entirely about what to do, NOT, Is M$ a Monopoly.
Now, M$ is trying to make a warp(ed) speed machine by combining Trust and Anti-Trust!
hahahahahah! its the only obviously right answer to these issues, it involves Star Trek and everything! what do you think?
in another life i took a history degree, with emphasis in american history (better profs there). the founding fathers viewed governments as a neccesary evil, kind of like m$. you had to have something, but it needed to move slowly enough that it wouldn't come to dominate life (oh well, internet's here, too bad for us). my favorite expression from the profs was that
"they pitted interest against interest, tension on tension with the resulting gridlock benefitting the public good"
fact is, that the executive branch seems to find more trouble than any other, and would find much more without a strong, independant judiciary (see Latin America for examples of weak judiciary and executive indulgence).
yes, dmca sucks, but the other checks and balances can (theoretically) help with this. everyone keep an eye open when the procedural suggestion period begins... you might just see government in action. here's hoping
i had to revive my old business account last week, had lost all information even down to which email address was it on and did i still have that address. thankfully, i knew the credit card number assigned to the account
it is entirely possible that your thief did this very same process and used it to gain access.
if you go through the password retrieval process in a completely unsatisfactory way, it will present a telephone number for you to call. the wait on hold wasn't even that long. the human was nice, and its far more immediate than sending an email.
if you can't get through that way, i suggest calling ebay's fraud prevention and taking it up with them. ebay just bought paypal, remember?
hahahahha! went to take a look and there was this unobtrusive ad on the article about the butterfly brigade. they're really putting on an Xbox style blitzkrieg for this one.
when i was on vacation in italy, the same thing applied. call any cellphone, get tagged! what a gyp! the people most affected (like me) don't have extended local calling plans (yet) that are offered by deregulated local service providers.
The solution that the Dutch used was not to stick their finger in the hole to stop the leak (which is the traditional solution to problems such as porous dykes) but to give the server rack a "rain hat" - a metal plate with down-turned edges so that the drips end up on the floor rather than the inside of the machine. This cannot be a unique solution, but it's the only time I've seen it down on this scale.
used to work in a bar with a leaky roof. their solution. the entire ceiling (1500 sq. feet worth) was covered in metal signs and chutes and of course, the obligatory car door torn from a police cruiser! every morning there was a flood, killed pool tables, the floor, dart boards, everything. when they finally broke down and decided to fix it, the roofing contractor joked that he could retrofit a nice interior runoff system instead.
"The University of Rochester filed a patent application on the methods developed for reversible data hiding and plans to share the rights of the invention with Xerox.
Oh yeah! these guys'll figure out some way to f#$k this one up. Maybe they should just assign the rights to bill gates and steve jobs now . . .
what is also important to note is that out of court action does not create precedent. in other words, settlments do not strengthen their legal case. and if panIP is in a situation where they could be liable for the court costs in a losing suit, they'll get theirs.
He does seem to share a level of hysteria with the linux zealots on slashdot.
we prefer the term un-brainwashed, hysteria would more accurately describe all the sad winbloze users i meet every day. the main symptom is that they're more excited about fixing some funky system problem than actually getting work done or making something creative. you know you're brainwashed if you believed the M$ Switchers article represented a trustworthy (pun intended) article.
I was hoping someone would reply here with something along the lines of "see, when we bullshit about M$, we lose credibility; let's clean up our act, etc." I love those posts. Oh well.
lets get one thing straight here. i am not a narrow minded mac zealot, i'm an open minded mac zealot. i have used (and even developed for the web and print) on winbloze. i know how to use it, troubleshoot it (emphasis on shoot) and do most anything an MCP could do with it. and i have been a mac advocate long before it became trendy to do so on slashdot.
i don't slag M$ down without cause. i bullshit about them when i see problems. i know that they were working on fixes for the style sheet problems, but what was more disturbing was how the system reacted to said problem. every person who tested it had to reboot, and it was a long, slow painful problem. what ever happened to protected memory?????? as for general performance, explorer crashes every time you open multiple applications simultaneously.
why is it that i can open 4 major design apps, 4 minor work apps and play mp3s on my G3 400 mhz/512 mb sd100 ram i$mac without a problem. on the otherhand, open two apps at a time on a winbox with p4 1.6ghz/512 mb ddr ram and the thing chokes and goes unresponsive, then one of the appz crashes.
my biggest problem with M$ (all other important issues aside, lots of those too) is that it doesn't work, and when i am forced to work on M$, i have to pull my hair and curse.
my act is really quite clean. i criticize m$ for their software flaws, not just for being proprietary. i criticize them for their FUD arguments and deceptive business practices, not for steve ballmer being monkey boy. rant over, thank you
it was a combination of issues when it broke ie. was missing a few # marks and had one style spread onto two lines. as u can imagine, it wasn't easy to find. the index page to that sites calls three external files, and those external files have three additional dependencies. i gotta get work done, ain't gonna spend the whole day re-creating a nasty bug that i spent two days searching for.

"Of equal concern, says Warby, is that by agreeing to the Windows 2000 SP3 licensing terms, the credit union is potentially granting access not just to Microsoft, but to its "designated agents" The Microsoft license offers no assurances about who those companies might be, says Warby. "What if the designated agent is some small company overseas," he says, "in a country with a lax legal system?""
that's right, what happens when M$ decides to go kazaa all over your system. there's nothing you can do about it. face it, its just your hardware, the OS (i use the term lightly for windoze) belongs to them, 100%. You're just borrowing it. That's not good enough to pass muster for private information.
If M$ wasn't so large, a bill to make them post surety bond for every financial house would be an ideal restraint for the mighty beast
oh well, chances of legislation unsupportive of m$ are about as likely as me giving birth.

yes, it is a slow day on slashdot for them to be passing this off as news.
however, there is something very important that we can do with this article. it is very articulate and one of the finest, clearest articles i've seen on the topic.
most importantly, it is written in english and not geek!
this is a good opportunity to pass this article along to professionals who earn their living with programs like Word and Outlook. Attorneys, Real Estate brokers and Bankers, Mortgage Lenders and Insurance Agents.

amen brother! truth.
good to see more government using free software always!
1. the dolts in public service here (in Florida) can't even get the far simpler plurality system working
2. the Borda count is used for college football rankings here, and the sole purpose for that is to CAUSE WEEKLY CONTROVERSY , which it does, and keep interest in the sport high.
maybe we should end it all and use the BCS to choose our politicians (crooks).
oh well, i'm off to vote early now.
