WTF? By and large "the right" wants the government to gtfo and leave us alone. I woulds hazard a guess that strict constitutionalist judges (AKA "the right") would be more likely to strike this down then "living constitutionalist"judges (AKA "the left"). But really, the issues are much broader then the concepts of the right and left can hold..
Specifically we fought against taxation without representation.
Now that we have representation, apparently we've decided that to protect copyright we need civil trials with lax rules on discovery and burden of proof, with criminal level sentencing. That, in a nutshell, is what this appeal is about.
Right. So buy both. I have a 30GB SSD that runs my root filesystem (currently only 1/3 full) with the OS and applications, and a RAID array of 1TB disks for my/home dir. The OCZ Vertex 30GB SSDs are ~$130 and make a *huge* difference as a boot/application drive. Oh, I also have 8GB of EEC ram (~$100 these days) so very little swap needed, using the RAID-5 array for that so as not to needlessly wear out the SSD.
There was a story about how the people in the top.0000001% got that way by a combination of hard work and really good luck. That doesn't mean that hard work and normal luck can't put you in the top 25%, or even 5%.
I know "Millionaire" doesn't mean quite the same as it used to with inflation, but I know a number of self-made millionaire teachers, butchers, and other tradespeople who are retired and live quite comfortably. I know some people who were good salespeople who later ran businesses and retired quite well off. The only common factors that holds these people together is that they lived through the great depression and learned to live cheaply and work hard. None of them have mansions, but all of them are enjoying life.
Yes, you probably won't be a titan of industry, but that doesn't mean that hard work and sacrifice don't work. "Hard work" doesn't mean just manual labor though, it means valuing investing over spending, with your money, time, and energy. Get more education, learn a better trade, be willing to take the risk of job and location changes, increase your people skills, etc.. Those are extremely difficult things to do, especially when just surviving takes most of your time and energy, but many people do in fact do it. They just don't do it over night.
I did, and it's awesome. I have a 2nd G Touch for all my calendering/smartphone type stuff and a cheap pay as you go cell for actually talking.. the touch is so thin I don't mind carying two devices, and I pay about $8 a moth for phone service. Sure, the GPS, Camera, and data plan would be nice, but not $700 a year nice, as I work from home and am rarely away from wifi..
Strangely enough, the WII has the the same number of exclusive titles rated 90+ on metacritic as PS3(4), and sightly less then Xbox360 (5). In pure 90+ games, it ranks last (Wii- 8, PS3- 12, Xbox360-16), but many of those are games that you can play on PC, Xbox360, and PS3, with my preference being for the PC.
90% of games made for any system are crap, and nintendo definitely has their share of them, but there's good games there too. Most all of them are nintendo first party titles, but that's same as it ever was...
I use the aptly named newshosting, and have been quite impressed. Cheaper then giganews, and has excellent retention and completion. Speed is only limited by my connection, and SSL and compression are available for even more speed.
First DNSSEC is orthogonal to SSL, and many network protocols where SSL is not involved can benefit from DNSSEC. Whenever people break DNS to serve ads instead of NXDOMAIN responses, they've committed the above heresy. When SSL put forth as a reason for not needing DNSSEC, the same applies. I'm not convinced one way or another if the original poster was thinking that way, but it is often the case.
Also the DNS attack surface is not comparable to SSL. There is but one DNS entry that can be assigned to a user. I can't request slashdot.org from a vendor and get it. If someone owns a domain name, only that particular registrar has the power to change the domain name. So if I choose a reputable registrar, I'm covered.
By contrast, I can request an SSL cert from any provider on the planet. If I already own a SSL cert, a company doesn't have to check a master registry before they issue another cert.
In effect, with DNS, the defender choose the battleground by choosing the most secure registrar. With SSL, the attacker chooses the battleground by choosing the least secure certificate authority.
Thou shalt foreswear, renounce, and abjure the vile heresy which claimeth that "All the world's a Browser', and have no commerce with the benighted heathens who cling to this barbarous belief, that the days of thy network infrastructure may be long even though the days of thy current technology be short.

This flaw was published in Nov 2008 with simple configuration fix, and OpenSSH released a default fixed version in March 2009. Also, this attack gives only 4 bytes of unencrypted output after crashing your session many thousands of times, which is sure to be noticed. If you were repeating the exact same network traffic in millions of SSH sessions, an attacker might get something interesting after weeks of crashing your sessions. It's just one of the lamest exploits I've seen, worth mitigating eventually, but not worth all the press it's getting, especially 6 months after release... The fix is simple, just use CTR mode encryption instead of CBC, or upgrade to OpenSSH 5.2 or later. For more details go to the OpenSSH security page.
In meld you can click any of the diff blocks to promote the change block to the other version. It doesn't keep you from looking at code, but it does a good job of letting you see the changes nicely highlighted in context.
I don't use TeX everyday, but I do use version control for code every day, and find that fancy diff programs like meld go a long way to solving both those issues. If you haven't tried it out, I highly recommend it.
This is the same problem we have with code colaboration, and SCM software is the only sane way to build and colaborate on any complex venture... It's nice that something similar is built into Word, but it lacks much of the power of a full SCM.
Docbook and other XML based formats seem to be much more popular in the publishing world today then TeX. [La]TeX is nice, but SGML/XML based formats seem to allow easier transform ability for multiple output formats. Both are worlds better for the task then Word output however..
You can already do this. I use the "tree style tab" extension on the side on my widescreen desktop, and it works well. On my smaller laptop screen I use the normal tabs on the top.
The same organization ran 2 competitions at the same time. The Open Hardware Computer Chess Olympiad had no limits on hardware, and the World Computer Chess Championship has a limit to 8 cores. Both were won by the same team, running the Rybka chess engine.
When a drug is found to cause significant problems after it's release, we're outraged, and when the FDA says we actually need to test radical new treatments before giving them to people, we're outraged.
Either we're stupid, or we just enjoy being outraged by stupid stuff, I can't tell which...
We're not sure about that yet. WPA-AES is designed to be bulletproof, but WPA-TKIP is only a really good band-aid on a really bungled protocol. There have been only minor cracks in WPA-TKIP so far, but it's far from certain that it will stand up forever...
So my water costs should be arbitrarily raised based on the taxes and fees that a private company might have to pay to do the same job? Or my trash pickup rates? The Internet IS becoming basic infrastructure like water and sewer, and codifying these increased regulations in NC law does not help the residents of the state in any way.
If you would be so kind as to point out which part of this law will help NC become more competitive instead of less, and not just in the short term, but think 100 years from now... This legislation is shortsighted.
(4) Shall, in calculating the cost incurred and in the rates to be charged for the provision of communications services, impute: (i) the cost of the capital component that is equivalent to the cost of capital available to private communications service providers in the same locality; and (ii) an amount equal to all taxes, including property taxes, licenses, fees, and other assessments that would apply to a private communications service provider including federal, state, and local taxes; rights-of-way, franchise, consent, or administrative fees; and pole attachment fees.
This is the BS. You want to disallow bundling of services to the public ISP, a device that TWC uses heavily? That's short sighted, but somewhat reasonable. But to say that you have to jack your costs up to match a publicly owned ISP, for all time, just because you can? This law is nothing other then my home state hobbling itself for the future in order to make a bully monopolist happy in the present. Sorry, I have to go write my congress critter now...
