One key question the scientists are trying to answer is whether these slow earthquakes add to or relieve stress in the tectonic plates
I am by no means a geologist, but I'd speculate that the slow earthquakes (maybe earthquakes in general?) add stress to some plates and relieve stress in others, somewhat similar to the law of conservation of mass in physical science. That energy has to go somewhere...
... the GPL has the effect of requiring free and open access to Linux (and other) software code and prohibits any proprietary use thereof.
Since when has the GPL prohibit[ed] any proprietary use of software? One is free to sell or give away their software.
Red Hat's position is that current U.S. intellectual property law ?impedes innovation in software development? and that ?software patents are inconsistent with open source/free software.?
These comments by RedHat are taken way out of context to bolster SCO's arguments! Shame on SCO!
...do you support ?free? ? as in free from ownership...
Whoa! I thought is was "'free' as in beer, not 'free' as in money". Anyone can own the software. Really, though, the community owns the software.
... our position is consistent with the clear legal authority set down by the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court and the European Union.
Not to slight the Euros, but when did legal precedent in the EU bear any relevance to US law?
What Darl needs to learn is that the Open Source idea/belief/movement is all about choice and the betterment of the community at large.
How long do you think it will be before VoIP takes off and a new 'Do Not Call' list springs up? And with the current list, if I were a telemarketer, I'd sure as hell jump on the VoIP bandwagon using something like Skype. Skype even offers a decentralized directory. They've done half the work for Joe Telemarketer! Oops! Did I say that out loud?
I dunno...but my buddy and I have discussed this whole charade, and we agreed that this is all one big sham.
Consider this: SCO execs supposedly started selling off their stock a few weeks ago. Perhaps all this B.S. is just an attempt to jack up their stock so that they can sell it all off, cash in, and fold the company...
Just imagine: if 'benevolent' worms begin appearing in response to malevolent worms, the impetus to patch systems will further decline and sys admins will do even less to maintain the security of their systems.
CIO: We need to patch all of our systems...
SA: Why? It'll be less time-consuming and more efficient if we just wait for the clean-up worm!
For my money, there's no better way than learning on my own. You can buy some used hardware cheap and play with that. Buy an OS or two and play with it. Buy a book or two, study them, and apply what you learned. Of course, it doesn't hurt if you can get some instruction, but having gained some knowledge on your own will help you in class. Hell, you may even be able to get credit for it, who knows?
Fairness Hearing: The Court will hold a Fairness Hearing to determine if the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable and adequate on May 22, 2003, at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom 2, United States Courthouse, 156 Federal Street, Portland, Maine 04101.
You're not guaranteed this money. If, in the hearing, it is determined that the settlement is not fair, reasonable, and/or adequate, you might not see a dime.
According to the screenshot from Symantec's page on this, you agree to the EULA, you agree to have your M$ Outlook address book read. Don't use Outlook. On WinBlows systems, use Eudora. On every other OS, use another MUA, like Kmail. Beat 'em at their own game!!
Not only does premature disclosure lead to insecurity, it also leads to worrisome clients wigging out about the integrity of their systems. I'm in the middle of patching about 30 web servers since ISS released that vulnerability warning for Apache last week. It would have been better to wait until the fix was available. My ear is still swollen from all the time I spent on the phone assuaging clients' fears!
I have seen huge inconsistencies at my place of work. For instance, during some of my friends' recent annual reviews, one of them was told there was a salary freeze. 2 weeks later, I had mine and I was given a raise. I informed my friend that he had better speak with his manager to bring this discussion back to the table.
Another friend of mine was told by our manager that in coming up with a suggestion for what he thought his raise should be (he likes to ask you before giving you his suggestion, allows him some leeway), he should consider the fact that our company had just hired X new programmers and this, that, and the other thing. ???!!! As if the company's spending decisions were made by us, the lowly grunts! And if the company had money to spend on new employees, one would believe that we were doing well enough and could afford even a minimal raise granted to current employees! Am I wrong? How much more inconsistent could it be?
Yeah, but how would you keep the digit warm? In most cases of severed appendages, the idea is to keep it cold ( a 5lb. bag o' ice would do ya), but in this case where temperature stats are required, you'd have to keep that finger rolling on the hot dog machine to keep it toasty!
Right now, I consder the counter at my local bank the only place to get cash and not have my name cross-referenced to an ammount and then published to the world.
The sad thing here is that soon, you won't have that option. Many banks are attempting to cut costs by eliminating their staff of human tellers and encouraging their customers to use ATMs. Of course, they do this by charging you a "convenience fee" for using the teller. Sucks, but soon, human interaction will be no longer commonplace, but a rare occurence.
If I can use an analogy, the same applies for network card MAC addresses. Btw, the chances of finding similar fingerprints are greater then MAC addresses.
Is this true? Could there actually be a greater number of unique MAC addresses than unique fingerprints. Even with umpteen billion folks in the world?
Just about everything is carcinogenic. I, personally, don't worry about it. I can't isolate myself from all of these carcinogens anyway.
I totally agree! The way I see it, if you eat a little of everything, not only do you get all of the good stuff you need (vitamins, minerals, colon-cleansing ruffage!), it will all balance itself out in the end.
Keep in mind, too, that everyone has a little cancer in them already. With so many cells in your body, there is bound to be a handful that are retarded, cancerous. Just as in the human population, there are a few people with some form of retardation. Your body has a set of check and balances to compensate for this and will eliminate the mook cells. It only becomes cancer when your body can no longer keep up the fight.

If we just admit that we don't know what the hell we're looking for, we'll find a lot more than we will if we focus on terrestial planets.
I agree; it was once stated that if you trawl the oceans with a 1/2 inch mesh fishing net, you can reasonably assume that there are no fish smaller that 1/2 an inch in diameter. But that's only because they slipped through the net! If you limit your standard of measurement, you will miss a lot.

I do know that Symantec's site is difficult to reach and they use Akamai.
I worry about my AV updates being incomplete...
I once had a client relate a story to me about a story another one of his consultants told him. I'll regale you in dialog form:
Client: Can you still run DOS commands in 2000?
Consultant: Nope.
Client: Why not?
Consultant: 2000 is built with NT technology.
Client: NT?
Consultant: NT, New Technology. You can't run DOS.
Scientists believe they are on the track of the biggest mass murderer in the two-billion year history of life.
Um, if you RTFA, it never says that the murder is 2bn years old. It states the the history of life is 2bn years old.
