I remember a guy named DataWar talking about this somewhere around 6-7 years ago on the old phreak.org message board. He was saying that each key makes has its own characteristic [no pun intended] sound. It is an interesting concept though...
How can we wipe out ALL of the extremists? We can't even find the one at the center of the witch hunt... and why do they have to be Islamic? I would like to wipe out the Microsoft extremists as well... when will this war on terrorism end? never? who will declare the winner? in my opinion there is already a clear winner emerging... not the 'terrorists' not the U.S. as a whole... but the select few that were able to use these terrible events for their gain... Bush/Ashcroft/Washington will continue to milk 9-11 for all it is worth... we lost more than 5000 innocent lives that day... we lost any illusion of freedom that day... now we are living in an opressive society that grants many the illusion of security.
"Rebellion against tyrants is obedience
to God."
This was said by Benjamin Franklin. As was this:
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both."
I think maybe he was on to something...
Bush's goal is not to be liked... there are many other forms of control available to him... and his power is increasing by leaps and bounds...
I really dont think that the government cares at all what citizens think... if we get out of hand, they will just declare martial law, and still tell us that it is for national security... "we gotta get them thar terrorusts" it is amazing how much power can be gained through fear...
You may have heard that avoiding coffee and alcohol on planes is a good idea. I was recently informed that drinking coffee while flying is actually a good thing. It acts as a diuretic [sp?] which will cause you to have to use the restroom every couple of hours... this small activity of walking back to the restroom can actually prevent the person from forming blood clots in their legs. I was just on a plane for about fourteen hours straight, and I drank coffee almost constantly with no problems... they say that adverse effects can be nervousness and lightheadedness... [is that a word?]
I work for an ISP... Our phone lines have been solid... have you ever tried to explain the concept of the internet backbone to a pissed off 90 year old lady who only wants to send her apple crisp recipe to the bridge club? Fun stuff...
is it legal to sell the os if you are not going to use it? they usually ship with the install disks, so just fdisk, then sell the os and the license to the guy down the street.
quit whining. you think msnbc is a good news for nerds site? that is a good lemme tell you what i want you to think site. notice the ms at the beginning... take a wild guess at what that stands for... oh... and by the way, i think that the audio is a great idea... once there is nothing that other operating systems have that open source systems dont, there will be no excuse for using them. i still want a good photo editing studio for linux... maybe i am just not looking hard enough...
it is people like you that justify the dmca... there are some people fighting for the freedom to watch movies they have purchased on hardware they have purchased and because of the software they have purchased it is illegal. and you are only thinking about how to pirate these films, this will only give them more reason to keep decss outlawed
it is actually a huge burden to try to keep people from sending unsolicited email, once your address is aquired by some capitalistic company, it is about time to get a new account somewhere. no matter how many filters, blocked addresses, etc you have, some will still get through. one good thing that i have noticed is that most email providers now require some sort of proof that you are not a bot... such as 'enter the letters you see in the image'
at least the jehovah's witnesses will actually go away, most of the time spam isnt actually from the address it says it is. so if you send an unsubscribe email, it falls not even on deaf ears, but no ears at all.
there are not words for how pissed off i am... and even if there were i could never attain the volume i would desire to express them. what is this country, this world coming to? i wish i could hit good 'ol jack in the throat with a pool-stick
eh... are you just trying to piss people off?
on a side note... the nsa is actually developing a distribution of linux, called security enhanced linux... http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/
free speech is allowed, as long as it doesnt directly threaten our lovely government... and since big business is pretty much government, and this threatens them... were screwed.

I really dont think I like this idea... What's next? "I'm George W. Bush and I approve this website."?

I think this was on the Screen Savers sometime back in July or August...
I think that, given the reputation for stability and usability that linux has achieved, this is a very good possibility
i think that as long as the developers keep cranking out the level of software that we have come to expect, i could care less what they wear.
