really a silly counter. I started in '98. I have had many computers since that first one so exactly what are the counting?
From the looks of their their script, it appears that they are now counting each Linux computer that reports itself to them via that script on a weekly basis.
The script works just fine using a properly configured/etc/nail.rc file and/bin/mail on my Mandriva system.
If you use GMail like I do, some special configuration is needed:
set smtp=smtp.gmail.com:587 set smtp-use-starttls set from=USERNAME@gmail.com set smtp-auth-user=USERNAME set auth-login=USERNAME set smtp-auth-password=PASSWORD
You may need to provide a link to/usr/bin/sendmail if/etc/alternatives does not already do that.
Christian Legnitto, the Firefox release manager, put it most succinctly on May 25: 'Firefox 5 will be the security update for Firefox 4.' Problem is, users are being prompted to upgrade now but are hesitant because the new rapid release of updates means many add-ons are not compatible. And without security updates in between, many could be left exposed with unpatched browsers."
Came to say that.
Don't the people in charge think these things through? It appears not.
The new versioning schema is the new security hole in Firefox.
I'm no legal expert, but news crews (or anyone else obviously shooting video) explicitly get an exemption, based on old cases. The sticking point here seems to be that the cops are claiming cell phones aren't obvious enough to qualify.
They are obvious enough that they are banned at my local courthouse.
Perhaps MA cops lack sufficient intellectual rigor to identify cell phones?
"communist" - While your post is interesting, and I think I agree with your overall message, you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
I think he actually means "totalitarian", not some ideology based on Marxism.
Until you are happy with having your arrest recorded by someone else and possibly posted on various web sites, sit down and be quiet.
Why do you think people put things over their faces when doing a perp walk? Because its perfectly legal and happens all the time.
No expectation of privacy in public. Get over it.
Came to say that.
Again, there's no legal expectation of privacy in public, especially of people on the public payroll and especially of those people granted police powers.
Good, now make two versions, one International version and one US version.
The international version should be the gold version, with the US version a crippled version which honors all the software patent follies going on in the US.
The rest of the world should just ignore their sissy talk.
Let us hope that Apache don't respect US software patents outside the US.
OK as long as the US users can d/l the gold version.
What surprises me here is that they want to block the "worst of the worst" and they haven't even mentioned the tired old kiddie porn angle... that is certainly worse than anything!
They aren't making money from kiddie porn, so it doesn't count.
Then all VPNs will break. Therefore no telecommuting. The increase of gasoline consumption would be enough to mess up economy.
Who cares if the country collapses? The Intellectual Property will be safe and secure, earning its owners untold (holds pinky finger to mouth) millions.

It's a script with installation and usage instructions that should run on any Linux distro.
What is this "Debian package" nonsense of which you speak?
So... what would make it more 'modern'? Flash?
Mono.

"Normal" fast heart rate? Probably was just his wife then, not the girlfriend.
No surprise. Cops are people too, with all the usual failings.
At least this bad cop was arrested instead of "protecting their own", but let's see how he is prosecuted.
. . . that big a rectal thermometer?
So just 18 Windows Phone 7 devices were affected versus, what, thousands of Android devices? That's pretty good for Microsoft!

And all done for no real gain or benefit.
Idiots.
Lobbyists make claims that distort the truth; politicians remain clueless; sheeple continue being screwed, like it.

But maybe not, It's a pretty messed up state.

Don't like it? Find another job.
Bad police officers need to be thrown out, but this will get good officers labeled as bad, without knowing what
really happened.
Nonsense. If they do nothing wrong, they have nothing to hide.
Another point - how about apps that instantly stream to an offsite location? The cops would still be thwarted, and still have to pay.
That's how the Camden police thugs got caught.
...and cops wonder why we hate them?
They know.
They just don't care.
Theft, destruction of private property, destruction of evidence, assault, and I'm probably missing a few.
It's OK because it's the police, so you have nothing to fear, citizen, unless . . . you have something to hide.
Look lame in comparison.
with a piece of my patented tape!
This is not the purpose of government.
Enacting laws to 'fix' a flaw in a private business model is not what government should be doing.
Instead, Netflix should be working on how they do business.
This is an example of politicians either bought and paid for or dumb as a brick.

GNU 3.0.0?
Then Stallman can say "GNU 3 is not GNU. It should be called GNU GNU. Ouch! My head hurts!"

Evil, yes.
Profit center, no.
Please move along, citizen.
Under DMCA, freenet and tor are probably "circumvention devices". So you are guilty of wanting free speech.
"Free Speech" is the new COMMUNISM!
