I think you're being overly harsh on the guy. You may be an "active member of Amnesty" but he isn't. Your criticism may be better aimed at the person who made the document - he could post it himself, he could publicly email it to everyone he knows, but instead he's asking someone else to release it for him so he can remain hidden. He's asking a friend to put himself on the line to do something he won't do himself publicly (and I'm not blaming him for it either). The poster has balls enough to come here publicly asking for advice. At least he's trying to help and asking for advice on how best to do it. Your criticism of him is undeserved.
I was looking at buying a Lenovo X61 Tablet PC and they are charging $20 more for XP than Vista Business.
I can't stand Vista. To make it worse the battery life with the 8 cell battery is an hour less with Vista than it is with XP.
But more and more it's become political. A personal political viewpoint? Global Warming? Whatever. You're wasting our time! Make up your mind. Are you a technical news website or something else?
Please make up your mind soon will you. Otherwise, eventually someone will start a competing website, a TECHNICAL website, one that we can count upon for TECHNICAL news. If you're not interested in that then please tell us so we can move on.

A case in point, right in the Pilot episode, when Kosh met Captain Sinclair for the first time he addressed him as Entil'Zha. I don't think that name or it's significance appeared again until around season 3. Watching the pilot you just ignored it. You figure it's just how these aliens greet people. When I later went back to rewatch the entire series from the beginning I was completely blown away when I heard Kosh say that because by then I knew the significance of it. Wow, talk about planning in advance.
Five sailors are shipwrecked on an island. On the island they find alot of coconut trees and a monkey. The sailors decide to spend an entire day collecting coconuts and then the next morning to split up the coconuts evenly between them and go their separate ways on the island.
The first day they spend gathering coconuts and place them all in one huge pile.
In the middle of the night one of the sailors wakes up and decides to take his share now. He splits the coconuts into 5 piles. One coconut won't divide out so he gives it to the monkey. He takes his 1/5 share, hides them on the island and puts all the remaining coconuts back into one pile. The second sailor wakes up and does the same thing - splits the pile into five, one coconut doesn't divide out and gives it to the monkey, takes one pile away and puts the remaining coconuts back into one pile. And so it goes for all five sailors. In the morning the sailors wake up make no comment about the smaller pile, divide the remaining coconuts between them with one coconut left over that they give to the monkey and go their separate ways.

shutting down their source of explosives only causes them to find another.
shutting down a source of recruitment only causes them to find another.
searching their bags at a station only makes them go elsewhere.
etc, etc.
so do you think doing nothing is better? do you think not fighting back will make the terrorists stop?
"We did not pull the story because there was anything inaccurate in the report, we did it because it somehow led to the DoS attacks"
unbelievable.
I gave him the benefit of the doubt before. now he gets nothing from me. any boycotts should continue. and now that Fuat has explained his true position on the subject it looks like there needs to be another round of people expressing their views to sys-con's advertisers.
oh my. I saw your post and I recognized the number! I knew I memorized the number from somewhere but couldn't remember from where. I did a google search and found it right at the top. LOL!
thats why he's at a loss for words. other people have been stealing words from him!
other peoples sentences are just his words rearranged in a different order. they are obviously DERIVATIVE WORKS of his sentences. some sentences have had the words purposely REARRANGED to OBFUSCATE the true origin of the sentence - Darl. in fact, sometimes the senteneces other people have said are EXACTLY THE SAME are Darl's sentences. word for word. coincidence?
a bunch of MIT rocket scientists have confirmed that Darl's sentence "yes." has been used elsewhere MILLIONS of times. this is STEALING of his IP and it must stop. sue Darl sue!
hint to Darl: when you sue remember that (like with the IBM lawsuit) you can pick whatever value you want for damages! rather than sue for an obscenely ridiculous value like 5 Billion dollars you should really go all out this time and sue for 100 GaZillion (GaZillion - copyright Darl McBride) dollars! just think how that will make the stock price in your stock scam to go up. wow! is our legal system cool or what?
"In the news.com video Darl makes an utterly rediculous claim about GPL, claiming that if drug companies come up with a new formula for a drug on a linux machine they would have to license the formula under the GPL."
and this:
Anyone who has an interest in this case should watch this video.
The interviewer is well prepared and asks the hard questions. He makes Darl look like a bit of a clown.
He brings up the hard stuff.
Darl claims: - they own unix - that the contract covers copyright xfer & deriviative works - lawsuits, wont name company, but the company does not know. - seems to have a 'green eye' attitude to Redhats success. - says that SCO unix is the same as linux (ROFL LMAO) - continues to claim that the license is customer driven (yeah right) - mentions mydoom has connections to organisations that are funded by IBM ??? Groklaw is funded by IBM ??? Interviewer points out that SCO is basically funded by MSFT. - Darl brings up Eldred/Ashcroft and private ownership and profit motive. (what about Redhats profits Darl?). - Darl talks about GPL, mentions that GPL should == BSD. (Yeah so you can steal my work you thieving scumbucket). - Darl talks about Open source == terrorism because of source access. Interviewer brings up Usenix letter nixing this idea. - Darl confirms the NSA is NOT the target:-). - Darl agress they TOOK OUT trade secrets. Introduced copyrights in IBM case. - tomorrows lawsuit IS copyright related.
Intervierwer mentions: - that sun & msft are making the big payments and alludes that MSFT is the puppetmaster, but does it in a way that its 'not possible':-). - asks why should people pay when SCO themselves dont know if they own the system. - asks if I license now, do I get a special deal (Darl dodges) - mentions Linus's rat comment, Darls IBM puppetmaster comments, but mentions that IBM is quite whereas SCO carries on. - letter to congress. quotes from it. Darl goes on FSF/GPL rant. - interviewer goes onto GPL. Darl talks about the cisco case, but without details. - asks what it takes to get SCO respected. DM mentions Maccas, I responds thats a legacy from old SCO. Darl cries about Linux stealing his lunch (boo friggerty hoo - adapt or die). - mentions that SCO blew services.
Darl comes across as personable, but clueless. The interviewer was super sharp, steering the interview the way he wanted it. However he WAS fair, giving Darl the chance to speak, and came across as willing to listen,but a little sceptical.
The problem with that interpretation is that the phrase "well regulated militia" back in the day meant "well trained and well maintained" and not anything like the federal army or the national guard or the police force.
If you look at quotes of the people involved at the time it is quite clear what they meant by the Second Amendment. Including quotes from people who wrote the Constitution.
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are
in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot
enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are
armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that
can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. -- Noah Webster
"I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except
for a few public officials." -George Mason, 3 Elliot, Debates at 425-426.
"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States)
assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may
exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be
at all times armed." -Thomas Jefferson.
"(The Constitution preserves) the advantage of being armed which
Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation...
(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
-James Madison.
"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are
neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things
worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve
rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be
attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
-Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria.
"...arms...discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and
preserve order in the world as well as property....Horrid mischief would
ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived the use of them." -Thomas Paine.
"The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that
they be properly armed." -Alexander Hamilton, The Federalist Papers at 184-8.
"Guard with jealous attention the public liberty. Suspect everyone who
approaches that jewel. Unfortunately, nothing will preserve it but
downright force. Whenever you give up that force, you are ruined...
The great object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able might
have a gun.: -Patrick Henry.
"To preserve liberty it is essential that the whole body of the people
always possess arms and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use
them..." -Richard Henry Lee writing in Letters from the Federal Farmer to the Republic (1787-1788).
"The Constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to
prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from
keeping their own arms." -Samuel Adams, debates & Proceedings in the
Convention of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 86-87.
"...the people have a right to keep and bear arms." -Patrick Henry and
George Mason, Elliot, Debates at 185.
"The right of the people to keep and bear...arms shall not be infringed.
A well regulated militia, composed of the people, trained to arms, is the
best and most natural defense of a free country..."
-James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434 (June 8, 1789).
"A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves...and
include all men capable of bearing arms." -Richard Henry Lee,
Additional Letters from the Federal Farmer (1788) at 169.
"The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at
least 17 years of age..." -Title 10, Section 311 of the U.S. Code.

Excellent synopsis.
It's a proven fact that man has caused a warming of the planet
No, it isn't.
and it's generally accepted that this warming will continue until 2100
The warming stopped in 1998, leveled off for several years, and for the last two to three years the temperature has gone DOWN.

according the the yahoo msgboard it looks like it was a bug in the display software. it was only a 10.5K sale.
there is a large volume spike on the chart at one point today. a 150,000 trade
anyone have the link that shows the SCO insider trades?
