From a *nix IT guy, I am sitting here this morning, drinking my coffee and posting on/.
Down the hall are the MCSE's. I can hear them shouting at each other about why this and that system wasn't patched.
Even the network big wigs are in the room with them.
Considering the number of open Linksys WAPs increasing every year so this doesn't sound like a problem. How can they control the ads on personal WAPs? They can't!
As for my sig, I am proud to believe what I do and a proud American.
He didn't invade because he didn't have the guts too. Its like what Bush said when he said we are just swatting at flies. When we find a bee hive, do we kill one bee or do we kill the entire hive?
Sure, I can provide links to proven WMDs found in Iraq and Syria. But do we here that in the news? Uh, no we don't because it would mean the adminstration was right in the first place. Read below and yes, from reputable news sites.
I don't know where you get your information but Clinton did not listen to Clarke's advise. Its interesting to read memos and speeches that declare we should have done what we are doing today. So now the people who made those arguments are now against it and somehow its not right now? Its the ever popular flip flop.
But you're still missing the point. If its so bad then why the almost unanimous support for it from the House and Senate regardless of party affiliation? If it is so bad, then wouldn't you think some Democrat or Republican senator would rally against it? Even Ted Kennedy voted for it!
Statement A.. you do have a point, but, it still goes back to who voted for it.
Statement B.. sure it is good reasoning but playing devil's advocate with my statement. If it *is* being used for stuff other than what its supposed to, then its up to the ACLU or whatever lawyers to fight it. And which they are, BUT, it maybe badly worded, so again it goes back to who actually voted for it. Did they read it first? What if it were written with strict guidlines, would you still not like it?
Interesting, I think you're referring to Dick Clark right? He was also Clinton's advisor, so where's the dislike for the Clinton administration?
And as for invading Iraq, you've been misinformed my friend. Training camps, money, influence. An example, when a dog attacks a person and mauls them, don't we punish the dog AND the owner?
After reading all these post and knowing what I know, I really don't see what the problem is with the Patriot Act. If there was no Patriot Act, you guys would bash the President for not having something in place. But yet there is something in place and yet you still bash? I hope you understand that the Patriot Act passed with only 3 no votes. So even if he did veto it, it would still be enacted. So you all should be bashing your local congress/senate person for voting for it, rather than lashing out on somebody who doesn't have all the power you guys think the President has.
1. Apple will never hold more than a 5% market share. They never have, never will.
2. They took a good OS (BSD) fubared it, and wrapped it in flashy with extra sprinkles good for nothing GUI.
3. OS X belongs where Windows does, in a Window.
4. Performance of OSX is sub-par compared to YellowDog 3.0.
5. I just hate Mac fanatics
1. I hate the way iTunes makes you move your music into IT's directory instead of leaving it where they are.
2. I hate DRM.
3. The radio station listings are majorly liberal. Why do we need 8 streams of NPR?
4. Whatever else I can think of
When using the term 'hack' I tend to think of whoever said it as a 'noob'. A ton of content... Ok, prove it. Send me some URLs that I can check out for myself.
A hack? Are you serious? Putting the codec package in/usr/lib/win32 and you got Windows streaming. If you wanna do it thru a browser, you only need the Mplayer Plugin.
With this, I can do all Quicktime trailers, Windows Media streams, you name it. Heck, you get the RealPlayer codecs and you can do that too.
I guess anything with "insert your distro" sucks gets modded down. Oh well... I got karma to burn. Thanks moderators! Excellent karma for a year! WOOHOO!!!
I'd like to see an electric or hybrid car with the same performance. Or better yet a 3 or 4 rotor rotary. Same HP, but 20-30 mpg. How you guys looked at the price of gas lately? Now THAT would be/. news.
Now when does Catsup Kerry's order come through?
In Detroit, "oh, I own all these SUVs"... on Earth Day "no, I don't own SUVs."

What do you have against Texas? Texas wasn't mentioned in that article. Only closest state was Oklahoma.

Ahhhh... the joys of *nix....
Back to my wonderful coffee....

It was fun while it lasted. The University here is already blocking it. ;(

Money? Yeah, the UN oil for food fiasco.

Your last statement is the point. A good debate is always good for the body in the morning. Plus, it keeps the moderators on their toes.
Apple still sucks and iTunes still sucks....
Dude, I have several Divx movies that Windows Media Player in Winders won't play, but MPlayer will. Go figure...
I know man, is this really news? We smart ones have been doing this for years. ALL HAIL MPLAYER! HERE HERE! HERE HERE!
With this, I can do all Quicktime trailers, Windows Media streams, you name it. Heck, you get the RealPlayer codecs and you can do that too.
for the /. crowd.. see? point proven.

Weird, but I can do the same thing with Slackware and Mplayer for free.
TurboLinux sucks.... go SLACKWARE!
Fedora still sucks... GO SLACKWARE!
How would it perfom in a head on collison with an Expedition?
Now when does Catsup Kerry's order come through?
In Detroit, "oh, I own all these SUVs"... on Earth Day "no, I don't own SUVs."
Sure it will work, they don't have a state called Florida!
And there's only good things to say about Democrats? That right there should be sufficient of a biased reply.
