ok, sure, the machines were Dells, not specifically a windoze prod. placement, but they were even important to the final outcome.
come on guys, dontcha remember? ? ? ? windoze users were the BAD guys and Mac users were the GOOD guys. that is the most appropriate use of technology in entertainment that i have ever seen. yes, all the dell laptop carrying folks were evil and just mindless drones controlled by some unknown malicious force. jeez, how unlike reality man ... ...
yes, u're right, blipverts. but you see the parallel here right? sped up commercials to rivet people into their seats and make sure the information sticks. i don't think anyone's head is going to physically explode, but the power of propaganda is such that this could become a serious issue.
it is an issue of mind control. i have been mostly TV free for a long time (does football count as network tv?). and can hardly have conversations with some people because they treat charecters like they are real folks.
sounds like the old "bliptos" are back. its been so long since i saw an ep. i need to hop on my favorite file sharing program and snag a rip (if any are out there). seeing as the series was set in miami (my home) i can't wait to see what else was true about our future, besides the whole, brainwashing our population and using commercials to do it thing.
of course, being a rhodes scholar and still maintaining a scientist's idealistic view of the world, that science can overcome. leaving a top military post and avoiding cynicism.
look, kennedy (god bless his adulterous soul:) said off to the moon in ten years. maybe Clark will send us to mars and direct the start of it. rather spend it there than iraq. don't skewer the man, he has only been running for pres for 2 weeks, not his whole life.
i'll host some dean sites if you want to run them. i have a lamp setup and can install this thing (i'm fairly sure) in a matter of minutes. just email me at my/. email
mad props to linus on this one. windoze has a problem right now. tho they have improved, their systems are so vulnerable to mass attack, that they have an image problem that is truly persistent now. i like the "unintended consequence" remark.
these record companies like to pretend that the artists are hurt by filesharing, where truly nothing is further from the truth. the truth is the system that keeps 5 companies in charge of worldwide music distribution is hurt (marginally) by filesharing, and mainly by their unwillingness to change a century old business model.
fact is, unless you're eminem, michael jackson (jacko was at the top for years) or someone similarly successful with record sales (ie. worldwide #1) the take from album sales and royalties is a pittance once you have been charged all the expenses.
ever listen to Tom Petty's song with the lyrics "Don't wanna live like a refugee". that was a protest song over the screw deal the record label signed him to. he had hit songs and debts so high, he'd never be out of hock. this is still happening today. the record labels sign artists deceptively (with so-callled "A&R" reps) to long term agreements without mechanism for release at the artists discretion, then use these agreements to either lowball the artists, or keep their music off the shelves. its a dirty, dirty business.
fact is, the artists won't starve from filesharing. they are starving from being robbed blind by the big 5! damn shame.
yeah. its close, but more lawyers do history than poly-sci.
incidentally, i'm ashamed to admit this, but George Dubya also got a history degree, but really, his minor in silver spoon and double major in cocaine binging thru the 70's is more apparent in his judgement and foriegn policies:(
yes, that's right, my highly technical history degree:) it tells me why everything happens (in the grand scheme of things) the way it does. smart people study history, which makes it the most popular undergrad subject to go into law, and what Napoleon Bonaparte read (copiously) before going off and changing history (ironic, eh?).
ohhhhhhh, i hate this guy. well, maybe his intention is to prove that all stupid shit really is stupid, but this is the same guy who persecuted luther campbel and 2live crew in ft. lauderdale in the early 90s.
i'm not anti-atty (am dating one even, immigration, this is a cheap plug for you h1-b folks:P ) but this guy is the type that gives them all bad reps. maybe sco consulted him first and got his legal opinion that open source is immoral.
this f$#@$ing guy is just a christian morality crusader with fringe ideas always running around seeking attention. i just can't understand why anyone (ok, well, stupid people in tennessee grasping for straws don't count) lets this guy represent them.
its like falling out of the ugly tree and getting sponsored by the editors of rotten.com in a beauty pageant. don't these people see the folly of the case?????
well, that eliminates the other party threatening the freedom of the internet. what this seems to state is that there should be no tolls or taxes on data transfer over the net, as if it was a physical highway, nor stamps as if it was a document.
of course the world is just waking up to the other party (which effectively has succeeded in) erecting a toll booth on the net, and that would be microsloth and their IE tax, which is built into their winbloze tax.
i would send these guys to hell right quick. if they are so agressive about monitoring your services and then take it to the customers, you should already have your sharks on the prowl. they are not legit, they have attacked you, and are just setting you up to steal your clients. they are causing outages in the name of proving their usefulness to the clients by alerting them of outages. that sounds like fraud to me. go get em, trash em, eat their lunch and smoosh them.
haha. umm, last time i checked, there are 13 root servers and something like 12 are running BIND. and that isn't gonna change overnite. so, ya, there will be some redirection still, to their crappy page, but not so much. BIND is just that, the glue that holds the net together.
couldn't find anything about specifically bluetooth stuff over there, just a glossary listing in the search. neat site tho. know of any bluetooth sites?
or maybe its just nice to see the dual 1.42 can barely keep up with the 1.6. i guess as a mac user, we'll slobber over anything faster than what we got, cuz we haven't been lacking stability and ease of use all these years. i would say that the hypertransport helps and SATA probably delivers the biggest boost, but those are just guesses:)
i can admire a good car hack. i used to have a hacked mustang myself. wasn't as fast, expensive or rare, but it sure wasn't street legal! no cats at all, no ac, just direct vents, 4 on the floor (opel tranny, manual, installed upside down!), 4 cyl 2.3l , power steering/brakes, and what fun 2 drive!!!
this "phone" is just a dumbed down version of a sensory deprivation tank in the clancy novel "cardinal of the kremlin". the use of such a tank is interrogation and its victims are broken as surely as time, because we are social creatures and that works against us inasmuch as we need sensory input to maintain our sanity. well, works in the book, but do i have to fight a clancy proof flame war to say that he's usually pretty on the money.
this doesn't look like a positive development, but more like a government showing off its dark side with a light article. kind of like the USA showing the underground satelite map of the Nile delta to rattle soviet chains.
or better, an illusion. i know that my mac is suceptible to the very next worm, virus, file infector, buffer overflow, etc. but reading that there isn't a single virus out there for OS X is a great re-enforcer of the feeling of invulnerability i project to all the winbloze using schmoes out there.
really, the post 9-11 security craze is nothing more than a jobs program for the security industry. sure, the security here still sucks, it sucked before too. we're a (sometimes and mainly in theory) free society, but mostly an open society. we do make social exclusions, but really, we accept anyone as a neighbor (tho neighbor in another city if we don't like you, thanks, and don't forget to mow the lawn on the way out). we play security like its a game. we dodge our own security just to prove it can be done.
face it, security is an illusion. i'm more likely to die crossing the street (especially in my hood) than from a terrorist attack.

however, since ESR says that being a hacker is lazy, i'll leave it up to you, the reader to dig that gem out. it is there.
