It is actually fairly trivial to find the identities of the people seeing as how most personal blurbs are reused from other sources.
Pg. 57 for example is most likely referring to Russell Miyaki, just do a Google search for "is involved with ensuring that the highest of standards and best practices of interactive development are applied".
If you have filled out a FAFSA or applied for a loan the Department of Education already has all the information. Part of my job is making sure the mandatory reporting gets sent to DOE. That is on top of other federal reporting, IPEDS, FISAP, etc. Granted most of the reports are general statistics, as the article mentioned, however there is a more information that is required to be reported than most people realize.
That may stop someone from remotely accessing your computer without intervention but what happens when you get an e-mail that you open in some flavor of outlook that takes advantage of an unkown security flaw and compromises your system that way. Or what if you just happen to accidently open that unkown attachment that happens to be a worm? What if you accidently end up on a website that has an exploit for some unpatched vulnerbility in IE? You might think you are safe, and maybe are safer, with "firewalls" everywhere and all the patches but it is by no means full proof
For me the dns resolves as 127.0.0.1, seems they are trying to null route a bunch of traffic for some reason, either that or someone is messing with their DNS. It is pretty common for a site to change to point to localhost to stop traffic from even crossing their pipe.
Maybe your DNS server hasn't been update yet and that's why it worked for you....
I agree that Linux is taking over Windows shares, however an article like this proves nothing. There is no statistical information, what is the population size? What type of companies were part of this "study". How were the companies included, by picking them, by them asking, or just a random sampling. Sure it's great to think Linux will eventual kill windows, I just don't see any proof of that yet.
I suppose you haven't used debian then... Sure it doesn't show the correct uptime, just add 497. Monitoring software (netsaint now nagos) reports zombie processes but the machine is still running fine, no problems with apache and we aren't running named on this one.
Although we are slowly phasing them out we are running quite a few machines, mostly redhat. Because of they are critical systems they have yet to be upgraded. There's one debian box that's been up for over 500 days and the kernel wasn't upgraded for a while before that! For some reason it seems to be the most stable box we have.
The CIA does not, and is not allowed, to opperate within the borders of the united states. It may be the FBI or NSA that comes looking but CIA is strictly for international matters.
And I highly doubt they would be interested in what books a person reads, but that's just me.
And yet one more example of free, or almost free, copyrighted material. It can be compared to such companies as BMG, the give you 7 cd's if you buy one. Even with all the threats and the wind I believe the only possible outcome is copyrighted works will be available to everyone without harrassment. It comes back to the law of supply and demand, if something is freely available (such as water) why would someone pay $15 for it even if it is copyrighted.
Just restating the obvious one day at a time...
We use a Unidata database here for an ERP system, each database is more than 2gb a piece (more like 20 gb) of relatively small files, when the directories are tarred for backup reasons they are usually over 2gb which means that gzip won't compress them. Unless I'm missing something I don't see an alternative for files large than 2gb in this case. Sure on the personal computing level the closest thing you probably get is ripping DVD's but there are other things out there, and I realize this is tiny in comparison to some places.
"The DMCA is a law, and as faithful American citizens, it's our duty to obide by it and cherish it, as all laws must be cherished."
I don't completely agree with you on this point. It is also the duty of the citizens of this pseudo-democracy to hold officials etc. responsible for the laws to make, it is supposed to be the will of the people isn't it? For example if for some bizarre reason a law was passed requiring you to cut off your big toes for the government would you? There comes a point when laws and regulations go too far, in other places and other times too many controlling laws (among other things of course) of been cause for revolution. Obviously the U.S. is nowhere near that point but the reasoning is the same. Just because the law is made we don't have to blindly believe it is for the best of everyone, don't let the lawmakers decide for you, decide for yourself.
It would seem even the mighty media can mislead us! Maybe the perception of the average person is changing but it seems that most people can't distinguish between cloning human cells and cloning a human. Most people see cloning as the bad sci-fi movies portray it, person goes in onside of the machine, two or more people come out the other side, identical in every way. Blah BLah Blah, it goes on and on. Hopefully one of these days the journalists will do some informed research before posting these things.

That went down so fast, the server was hosed before there was nary a comment posted. Anyone happen to mirror it?

What's the alternative? I seriously doubt microchip production will be shutdown because it is environmentally unsafe.
