why don't we just stop putting money into the arts too?
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, since this is a good idea. I, for one, and sick of my tax dollars to fund no-talent-hacks who throw elephant crap at canvas and call it art.
I tried satan for my network security. Cost me my soul, but it's damn good. One kid tried to hack around our proxy to play games at work, and he got engulfed in flame and dragged down to the 3rd layer of hell for the rest of the day! Sure, I have to use a massive water cooling system to keep the firewall (and I mean a wall of fire that I run the ethernet cable through) from melting the other servers, but when the dark lord is watching your back, you don't even have to think twice about security.

Because that's what we do. We mindlessly go into other countries and start killing innocent people.
Civilian casualties happen. That's a part of war. The US has gone a long way in improving how it operates to minimize civilian deaths. They don't go on huge killing sprees killing lots of innocent people. We try to get them to surrender before we attack through PsyOps. And I googled the US army's website quickly, and I couldn't find the phrase Warrior of Freedom on it.
Except that If i just power it on and off, it won't reset it. They have to send a signal to it to cause it to reset. BTW, I was using OpenBSD. It's understandable if you don't read the articles, it's ok if you don't read the summary, but at least read the posts before you troll.
This was actually my second call. On my first call, I made the mistake of telling them that I was going to use it as a router / NAT. They promptly told me that they don't support routers (even though my problem had nothing to do with it being a router, just that the external port couldn't find a DHCP server), but that they offer "several reasonably priced solutions in case you need more than the 5 IP address we provide you". I miss college bandwith already.
This happened to me about two weeks ago with Comcast digital cable
Me: Hi. I just installed OpenBSD on an old box, and I'm having trouble getting it to DHCP for an IP address.
Tech Support: I'm not sure what you mean by DHCP, but we have it set up so that your computer will automatically get an IP address
Me (rolling with it): Ok, but I'm still not getting an IP address
Tech Support: What version of Windows are you running OpenBSD on
Me (rather annoyed): OpenBSD is a form of Unix
Tech Support (sounding annoyed): Fine then sir, what version of Windows are you running unix on?
Me: Can you switch me to someone else?
luckily, the next person was helpful (all we had to do was reset my modem), but it goes to show that there are people in the tech industry that don't know a lot of the jargon outside of Microsoft-speek.
I'll try that. What I'm leaning towards is a bad sector on my hard disk. I've never thought of going back that far, what I've been trying is redhat 8 and 9. I will say that aside from some problems with my Radeon 9700, Redhat 8 is working very well on my desktop.
IBM Thinkpad a22p. I've tried all sorts of RedHat distros, and X Windows always goes and gets messed up after 2-3 weeks of running. All I run on it is AOL instant messenger for Linux, Mozilla, and Open Office. I've tried updating it, I've tried not updating it, etc.
Unlike a lot of companies out there, Microsoft doesn't bet everything on one product. Even if.net were to suddenly evaporate, Microsoft still has a lot going for it. A fairly stable OS that will run on a majority of hardware (I have yet to find a distro of linux that won't mess up on my IBM laptop after about 2 weeks of running or will recognize all of my USB stuff on my desktop properly on install).
I might have read you wrongly. However, I can tell you that the land around Redmond, Washington is very bad for Donkey grazing, so I doubt they have an ass to bet.
You also forgot the following:

I dont know about Star Wars 7, but We won't have LOTR 4 (the books run out), we will have matrix 4 (they planned from the start to have a 5 movie series), and the contract for Harry Potter runs for 7 movies. What's dangerous is when a movie is created that isn't supposted to have a sequel, and one is later tacked on the end: IE, Rocky movies 2-17, CaddyShack II, and 90% of what disney has been creating rescently (Jungle Book 2, Cinderella 2, etc.)
I would agree with you, except that companies woudln't employ telemarketers if it wasn't economically viable. In other words, they do contribute to the economy of this country, by selling us products we wouldn't other wise get, which keeps the flow of money going, which is essential in a capatalist economy.
Also, I woudln't mind having a bureaucracy like Europe and Canada if I got the services that they get. Free Healthcare, for starters. Instead, all we have is more guns than anyone else. Go USA!
480x640 is a special screen resolution for the dyslyxic. Everything is displayed as though it was rotated 90 degrees. Since dyslexics can tell top from bottom easier than left from right, it makes it easier for them to read lines of text that go from the top to the bottom. There is still the problem where they have problems deciding which line to go to next, but the new PDAs with this resolution will have arrows on the bottom to help them choose.

Hacking the XBox

The XBox is, in reality, a "testing ground" for creating a computer that a user has no control over whatsoever.
Do you wear a tin foil hat or an aluminum foil hat?
Seriously, though. If it's a testing ground for a computer that the user has no control over, we can breathe a sigh of relief. Only a couple of years after its introduction, and we can hack it to do all kinds of things we shouldn't.
And even if they are developing with Intel a perfect computer, one that you can't hack no matter what, it still wouldn't make a difference. You'll still be able to use your old computer to your heart's content, not to mention that AMD and other companies that Microsoft didn't contract with to make this UberKomputer will continue to make new x86 hardware that will still run Windows. And the bussiness sector will still continue to run Windows, at least for a few years. All of the sys admins that I know where I work would never let in a piece of hardware or software in that they coudn't modify. We have Novell security on our windows boxes, and we get regular hardware upgrades. All it would take is one virus that could target the UberKomputer and only the UberKomputer to convince bussiness that switching is a Bad Idea(TM), and that a diverse system is the best way to go.
This is almost 1/2 a trillion dollars that won't be spent on "smart" bombs.
The parent has a good point. Why buy smart bombs that only target soldiers when we can just buy dumb ones and carpet bomb the whole area. Who cares about those school children or that nunnery. As long as its easier on johnny tax payer, right?

It works fine, because we all know that people in Microsoft know about the openings in Windows security and decide to not fix them deliberatly.
