You can add to that getting hacked. They can't hack your off-line data.

As long as we're on the topic. Warning: most people will consider what follows a rant:
I don't think he doesn't _care_ about money. I think he's not a greedy POS. He does well enough and doesn't want to have more zeros in his bank account than he's ever gonna spend in his lifetime.
We think of our culture very highly. The only problem is that we have no reference to compare against. We say what goes. "We're so smart and intelligent." Rubbish. Is it so smart and intelligent for the rich to get richer and the poor poorer? Of course it's not. But in a mindless world, it doesn't matter.
So I suggest that Moore doesn't care about money in the same sense a Texas oil baron does - adding a few more billions to his bank account while lobbying against minimum wage increases for the poor of the state. Taking food off the tables of the needy for a mindless reason - having additional money that is not needed for any purpose, other than, possibly, penis envy retribution.
We all need money to get by. I'm not arguing that. All I am saying is, don't be greedy. Perhaps we should all take more responsibility for our actions. Think things thru a bit before we jump to pull the trigger. They say the first million is the hardest to make. I know because I haven't made mine (hopefully, yet). But if you have billions, does it really matter if you have 1,000 million or 1,234 million dollars? I'm sure there are those that will answer yes. I am trying to point out that I think that's the problem with our society: our materialistic ways lead to materialistic insanity, and nothing good comes out of it. And the ppl that suffer the most are the poor of America and the majority of citizens of most third-world countries.
Possibly the best point Moore makes in f911 is that the people that "defend us" are the poor. They are the unfortunate bastards that get to go and die. And we should not take advantage of them - we should honor them by not putting them in harm's way unless it's absolutely necessary. And the poor, young Americans that are dying in Iraq every day are giving their lives for no good reason. And that just makes me sick to my stomach as an American. They are the ones that I support, they are the ones that I honor. And it is my intention to vote the way I think most likely to bring our children, our future, back home and out of harm's way.

Uh, if Jetway did it, surely the OSS community could duplicate this, only do it many times better. Anyone feel like starting up a [rare] Win32 OSS project?
While I do not pay for much content online, especially not music, this is what, to me, makes sense. I would not feel ripped off after the purchase, even if it's DRMed to death. It's affordable enough that I can just pay for a 20 song playlist whenever I want to listen to it. Of course, I would like to be able to make a backup of what I pay for, but my point is that this is thinking in the right direction. It's not the 80s/90s anymore, and to think I'm gonna pay $1/song is absurd.
P.S. This is not to say there is something wrong with paying $1 for a song. If that's how you choose to spend your money, go right ahead. By all means, go buy a $13-20 CD that costs $1 to make. "It's your money - you paid for it."

Thanks to all that grabbed images, but I'm sure I am not alone in being more interested in reading along (with eye candy on the side) than just looking at the pix. Why not make a full mirror?
RIAA wants to sell you something w/o actually giving you anything for your money! Yay, that makes sense! Uhm, I think I will keep my money instead of throwing it down the drain.
I'm still shocked and awed that payola is an actual term and that people use it as if it were something serious/of great importance. As I am amazed at people that purchase CDs, knowing full well where the money goes.
> This is the stuff the free tibet people wont tell you. I suggest you read more about this guy before you start worshiping him.
I am not worshiping him. I do not worship anybody. I would _never_ worship somebody. I happened to be in Central Park that day and it caught my ear. I am against the war (any war, pretty much) and that's why I felt it was relevant.
Being an evil man (assuming what you are implying about the Llama is correct) does not exclude the possibility of such a man saying something logical, non-evil, etc. Just like being an ignoramus does not mean you cannot do anything non-ignorant. I'm sure GWBush can add/subtract integers under, say, 101. I may be overreaching a tad here, but you get my point.
That said, maybe it is time for a new sig.. The hunt begins.
Remeber kids, the most popular OS (which shall remain nameless, *cough* Windows *cough*) does not have secure memory, so it's not too far of a strech to assume that even as you input a password into a dialog box it may swap it out to disk (if, say, you happen to be copying a raw DVD image from one drive to another).
IBM is already into OSS in a big way, was Chroniton born yesterday?
HP is (was?) an innovator, Dell is.. well, like McDonald's, sorta. Doesn't taste that good, isn't as cheap as it should be, given the quality (or lack thereof). But thru marketing you always hear of them, and lots of people simply buy their [usually inferior] products.

Software RAID1 would only double your cost, and let you sleep at night.

AMD bought Sampo Corporation and, hey Ron, released the Sempron. The Sempron is rumored to provide competition to common-variety garden celery.
Bravo, very well put! Don't listen to the naysayers, they come a dime a dozen.

Yes, Linux most certainly does have secure memory. Windows, umm, doesn't even know what secure memory is.
Remeber kids, the most popular OS (which shall remain nameless, *cough* Windows *cough*) does not have secure memory, so it's not too far of a strech to assume that even as you input a password into a dialog box it may swap it out to disk (if, say, you happen to be copying a raw DVD image from one drive to another).
