The whole Lake Merrit area is dirty and smells like piss. The "Lake" is little more than a glorified pond. Sure, it may be a fun place to visit, but screw spending all that cash to still have crack heads walking 50 feet away from your front door.
The Parkway theater out there is cool, though - couches and beer served.
Federal prosecutor David Siegal said Smathers had engaged in the interstate transportation of stolen property and had violated a new federal "can-spam" law meant to diminish unsolicited e-mail messages about everything from Viagra to mortgages.
Oh, I see. Well, "we" won't win unless "we" are in on the lawsuit. Otherwise, "we" will continue to waste time and money until spammers are just too broke to keep going on.
I need a bottle of rum at my desk so that I can take a shot every time someone makes a corolation between my name and the tone in my post. Always makes me smile.
Actually, you're only the second, so I don't think I would be anywhere near as impared as I would like to be.
Oh well. I seem to be getting modded down a lot lately. Maybe I should join up with one of those super-l33t slashdot troll gangs...
Or maybe I should just talk about how I like to make out with Linus and how p2p isn't used by pirates.
By the way, I don't run Windows at home. I run Mandrake. I am a Windows Sys Admin by profession, so I guess I'm a sell out. Whatever.
I'm sick of comments like this. The Internet, like anything else is EVOLVING. Oakland used to be a fine and wonderful place to leave your door unlocked overnight. Not anymore. The Internet used to be a fine and wonderful place to surf. Now everyone has always-on connections, malware writers have gotten better... you lock the damn door.
Don't give me that its-all-MS's fault crap. MS has dominated the desktop market for long enough to have all evil eyes on them. If Linux was on the desktop of everyone's grandmother, unpatched and unfirewalls, it would also be hacked in a jiffy.
In other words, shut up. If I wanted to read your comment I could open up any thread on slashdot and read it 20 times.
Ha. I was arguing something I have completely no knowledge or insight of. You replies were actually quite interesting. You win. I've been stuck bored with an accounting application upgrade for several days now, might as well get some free learning on slashdot.
So, building this computer was helpful to the real world. But actually flying into space had nothing to do with this. Space travel and exploration did not produce this benefit.
Thanks for the wonderfully specific answers there. Can you give something with solid evidence? Something that shows that having humans float around in space causes advancements here on Earth that would not / could not have been found any other way?
I think it is more than enough reason. I'd just like to see how people feel about the space program. There has been a lot of controversy as to whether or not it is worth the money we put into it.
I know this is going to start a huge flame war, but seriously - what good has the space program done for mankind? Anything other than cure our lust for knowledge of the unknown?
Yes, but somehow I got modded up and you got modded down with your childish lash out.
Stupid mods.
Seriously, though - I do agree that there are _some_ potential benefits to this. Unfortunately, the concept opens up the possiblity of DRM restrictions infecting the Linux operating system. If we continue to run on non TCPA hardware, at least we can argue that our system will not support their restrictions.... "If you build it, they will come..."
It really makes me happy to see that Linux distributers are finally seeing the light and providing the community with things we need in an Operating System. Hopefully this will lead to other advances in the wonderful world of DRM.

So, this brings up a good question - What (if any) means to you use to protect your web browsing from prying eyes?
The Metropipe Tunneler is pretty cool. Cross platform client software to encrypt all of your Internet traffic out to a server that keeps no logs. Kind of steep at $99 a year
Also cool is the free Metropipe VPM which is a complete linux system that fits on a USB drive, and somehow includes their tunneling service for free...

Perhaps you should have made yourself an iPod-run Real Doll. Because, let's face it, you just blew you chances at a "real" one.
Anyone have a link to the originals?

Countdown to flame war in 3, 2,
The whole Lake Merrit area is dirty and smells like piss. The "Lake" is little more than a glorified pond. Sure, it may be a fun place to visit, but screw spending all that cash to still have crack heads walking 50 feet away from your front door.

Well, not according to TFA.
Federal prosecutor David Siegal said Smathers had engaged in the interstate transportation of stolen property and had violated a new federal "can-spam" law meant to diminish unsolicited e-mail messages about everything from Viagra to mortgages.
Oh, I see. Well, "we" won't win unless "we" are in on the lawsuit. Otherwise, "we" will continue to waste time and money until spammers are just too broke to keep going on.
Maybe, they'd learn that when spamming, the sysadmin wins.
Really? I sure don't feel that way watching my mail queues and trying to convince users that the spam filter is not out to get them...

No, no, no - I meant important things like this and this.
I think it is more than enough reason. I'd just like to see how people feel about the space program. There has been a lot of controversy as to whether or not it is worth the money we put into it.

You damn litter-bug
Why is something that is still in "Beta" on their homepage?
Google tends to do this sort of thing a bit too often...
In firefox, with a default install, you can highlight a phrase, right click, and choose "Search the web for xxx"
It searches Google.
Personally, that was the funniest thing I've read all day.

I noticed that, MSN's search had images from only a few sites.
