So what's so bad about wrecking capitalism again? Last I heard it did more greed than good. But then again, that's my own immediate knee-jerk reaction to it.
"You are more secure buying a book from Amazon than you are uploading your results to a Diebold server," said Wertheimer, recommending several changes to increase security.
I mean, we remember what happened a while back right? If I recall there were a number of security related risks regarding customer information... or did they release that information on a voluenteer basis?
derrivitive work frmo your parents for a physical body. origional work form god for the spirit. the soul = body + flesh.
so what are we saying? using old works with a new operating system? sounds like taking that old tell and putting linux on it. i haven't crashed in a while, what about yourself?
fonts folder, fonts directory. quit being a zealot you dipshit.
It's fairly standard in firewall rules to block the ports around tcp 6000
excuse me? firewall? this is about stopping the X server from LEAVING my machine in any way, not about some other application blocking it in the first place.
Hey everyone. I have no idea how X works, nor have I ever seen the code and I don't care to at the moment. But there are two things that would seem to make sense to me regarding what X does.
Give it a fonts folder, and when you copy (or click and drag) fonts into the folder, every application would be able to use that font immediately. A font daemon or something could do this, automagically or you could update it manually at your will to save from having to run one extra process (that will most likely be unneccicary to the powerusers).
It is a network protocol. I like that. But is there a way to turn off the part where you can access it over the net by default, therefor leaving it secured. All in a conf file for "enable X over networks". I know it uses unix sockets but.. ah i don't really know what I'm saying.
Is there a way to make it smaller? I've seen the X source code coming from a few different ftp servers, all in chunks of 3 tarballs totalling about 30-50 megs. I'm not one to complain, but if there were a smaller GUI server available for download (generic linux binary, or code with available addons) wouldn't this be a simpler solution?
anyways, that's my 0.02 bits.
feedback is welcome, I've also posted this in my journal Journal
Filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission show that SCO posted hundreds of millions in losses from 1994 to 2002.
wouldn't this mean the direction as a company simply sucks? I mean look at mandrake, redhat, slackware! Even they have made money. Something tells me it's more than his opinion of open source/free software than he even grasps!
if I had any mod points i'd mod you up. with medical billing between insuracnce companies, doctors, the policy holder etc., it's costing consumers and the companies almost 10x the amount more than if the process were quicker and simpler to manage.
i'm not saying there isn't complexity to the issue, but the unneccicary complex nature of things in that industry is a crux.
you know what would be better, running everything off a custom knoppix iso and just leaving the system to reboot incase of a freaky hardware failure. Problem with the hardware/software? Reboot to where you were the last time and notify the IT people. They come back with another cdrw and bam! finito!
Given the case that anyone with extremist points of view most likely won't get this kind of "tracking device" (rightfully called) I don't see where the point is. Though I never will get this kind of system being technically inclined will come up with my own system. An incar computer with a gps and hookup for my phone isn't too hard to design and install, really. I'll give anyone info if they need some help.
Number 1) eula's have never stood their ground in court. certianly not my own local one. Nor have they ever constituted any sort of agreement without both parties present.
Number 2) It's an xbox. You bought it, you can break it anyway you seem fit.
home owners liability insurance? what the fuck? just because some little skater shit busted his knee doing grinds on the sidewalk break on my driveway (yes a part of my own property) then falling and hits his head on the phone utility box, I have to pay because of this retard? Jesus fucking H Christ on a popsicle stick! I just Countersued for unlawful tresspassing. Teach that shit's parents to bring a layer in on something when in fact it was HIS fault! I wasn't even home!
Insurance, protect your face... just dont' turn your back!
... you don't realize that most bills, when people refer to them as "quietly introduced into congress", usually have the connotation of being instigated against the collective will of those congressmen's constituents and the people that put them in office and rather have been introduced to appease their own bank accounts at the expense of their collective masters, known as the MPAA/RIAA and other major corporations.
marketable. that's a pathetic word. prostitutes do the same thing.
corperations and many businesses that think they own the information simply because they keep it private, and when someone hints at the similiarity of any idea they sue until that company can't afford it anymore because they're paranoid and refuse to even think about changing their own business methods.
this world is pathetic and becoming more so as the years and laws become even more intolerable. what are we to do. ignore them. and keep moving. i could care less about most laws like the dcma, the **aa's and major corperations trying to scare the "CUSTOMER", the very people they NEED TO SURVIVE.
I'm going to give them a big middle finger they can chew on if they think they're going to screw us forever.
the internet isn't a telcom is it? the breakdown of the word is telephone communications. so shouldn't this be relevant to dialup account users and not broadband... right?
AT&T has tried to screw the american public since it's inception and the usual/. rant of "clinging to an old business model"
Most of these companies had better shapeshift some of their mindsets and reasoning or they'll just die, and take out the rest of the interconnected world as they go.

Anyone else with a different point of view?

Then using that logic, we should cancel linux because there is already an available and working system the public can use.
