So for example if I my mac is the master OS, and I set up a firewall set, does the windows OS have to go through the mac's firewall (and thus be protected better) or does it have direct access to the ports itself.
When setting VirtualBox up under Gentoo, I had to create a new network 'device' specifically for VB, and would have to create one for each virtual machine had I not just decided to stick with 1 virtual machine. From my understanding, VB is protected in the following fashion:
eth0 and tap both connect to br0, so the chain would go: Internet eth0 br0 tap. I would imagine that if the firewall were applied to either eth0 or br0, it that would protect both the host and client, since the host interfaces with br0 while the client interfaces with tap, but someone else will have to confirm that here.
The thing one must understand regarding "high end" stereo equipment, is the marketing aspect of it all. Once you pass a certain threshold, say $600 per component (or $3000 for a 5.1 system with receiver/amp), you step into the audiophile reality distortion field. Crossing that line means you've got money to burn, which is why audiophile gear starts out cheap and stretches to infinity dollars.
The reason your buddy's $11k stereo sounded like ass, is because it puts him in the "rich sucker" bracket. The components may have been selected by the sales person or manufacturer to sound a little off, solely to create demand for their $15k system. The term "upgrade" is heard every day in audio shops around the globe, and such upgrades tend to happen in small, granular steps. That's why speaker vendors don't have just one "perfect" set, they have a long list of products carefully plotted from cheap to obscene, and many shops will offer a trade-in program to help you climb that money ladder. It's all designed to part fools with their money while convincing them otherwise. This sounds strikingly similar to the strategy employed by the "Church" of Scientology....
At the risk of being modded troll, OO Calc will probably never replace Excel - other than Suns and big iron, corporate america runs on Microsoft Excel (not necessarily a good thing, but still). If you are thinking of macros, OOo will support them soon. Great, so what happens when one of your macros calls for Solver to be run?
But just a standing desk with a tall stool to alternate with can work wonders for back pain and good posture. The walking is probably better on the knees though. That's what Rumsfeld did when he was still employed by the US Government.
Personally, though, I've put up with plenty of days of literally being on my feet for 10 or 12 hours, with the only breaks being a half-hour for lunch and two 15-minute breaks. I could have spent more money on better shoes, sure, but that money was better spent to put me through school. And I doubt many dress shoes are constructed with those types of conditions in mind.
Oh, and try walking or biking to work in Wisconsin in February.
I did, for 3 years (and then I graduated.) And this past year, we had to put up with 96+ inches of snow. I've seen busses getting stuck on relatively flat streets because of excessive amounts of snow. But you know what? Madison, WI still survived. Also, being outside when it's -25F is no fun, but it's doable for a period of time.
Switchgrass And what happens when things like switchgrass and waste products no longer decompose on the land that they grew from? Where are all of these nutrients and minerals going to come from to grow new plants? Unless you plan on replacing them with fertilizer, because we all know that fertilizer is a safe, renewable source that is completely independent of petroleum....
The best alternative is to develope communities in a fashion that is conducive to both mass-transit as well as manual-transit (such as walking, biking, &c.)
Whilst I am not what I would consider an active member of the Gentoo community (I go through the forums and occasionally try to help people out, but I have contributed 0 lines of code for anything in Gentoo,) Gentoo doesn't even have enough developers to keep the community happy. I'm guessing this is a similar issue in many other distributions. Hell, when Patrick dropped Gnome support in Slackware years ago, he pissed off a lot of people (including me, who then switched to Gentoo)
When you can't see Cheney's right hand and his lips are moving.
Nonsense; that's when W is bullshitting. Lieing involves an intent to intentionally mislead the audience by providing inaccurate information. By doing this intentionally, one needs to know whether the information *is* inaccurate by knowing what the accurate information is. If one states information without regard as to its accuracy, then one has committed the act of Bullshitting.
I'm sorry, what's your point? You going to build a time machine and travel back to 2001 so that Bush can get impeached for the human rights abuses he hasn't committed yet?
Anyway, Congress could force Bush to close Guantanamo any time they want. All they have to do is say that they war powers they gave him after 9-11 don't include the ability to invent a new category of prisoner, denied both the constitutional protections of the accused criminal and the treaty protections of the POW.
Congress is complicit in all of Dubya's excesses. That's the real reason they can't impeach him. How about these charges:
Conspiracy to commit murder Conspiracy to commit treason
After the 2006 election, Nancy Pelosi's first action as Speaker of the House was to take impeachment off the table. Why would she do that when the vast majority of the Democratic base clearly wanted it? Because, even if it had succeeded, it would have hurt the Democrats' chances in 2008. Funny, I thought it was because it would result in 2 years of Cheney officially running the country, instead of running the country from behind the scenes.
And they still do not seem to have grasped the concept of the global Inbox. Mail.app is about the only program I have seen that does it how I want it:
Inbox
>Account1
>Account2
>Account3 Sent
>Account1
>Account2
>Account3 Trash
>Account1
>Account2
>Account3
If I click on "Inbox" (first line above), I see all messages in all the Inboxes in all three accounts. If I want to just see the Inbox for Account1, I can click on that instead (second line).
Thunderbird and others seem to be convinced that everyone wants to break up everything based on accounts. Does anyone know the UI reasoning for this? And then the computer gods said "Let there be filters!"
And *poof*, computer users could create filters that sorted mail by recipient and/or sender!
The one issue I have is mixing & matching POP3 with IMAP. I'm using Evolution at home, and while I love IMAP heaps & bounds over POP3, Google's been a real pain in the ass with my inboxes. Plus, there's some times when you switch from one to another (POP3 IMAP) because either your needs change or because your email providers change what they offer.
I hope this finally serves as a "wake up call" for Linux lickers and lovers that using Linux does increase chances of violence and murder. For too long now Linux lovers have accused Microsoft of tomfoolery, when Microsoft has only delivered wholesome, moral, and radidly patched products.
Perhaps now they'll finally start listening to the studies that Linux and open-source leads to genital herpes and PWNING your wife with a.45 and a shovel.
Jack Thompson, is that you? I thought the Florida Bar muzzled you for good (Or at least for 10 years, which should be long enough for everyone else to return to sanity)....
is all these exercise machines America uses is to plug in to the wall and transfer the energy we expend at the gym and home to be put to use rather than wasted in heat and friction. What we need is for all of these exercise machines Americans have to actually be used. You know, exercise machines such as road bikes and the like. The way I see it, so much energy being consumed in America is wasted because it's duplicating work. Why the hell people drive 10 miles each way to the gym to use exercise bikes for an hour or two is beyond me.
There was a Ziggy cartoon that addressed this issue; however, instead of using exercise bikes, I believe it involved a treadmill....
There are a few pros and cons to releasing Duke Nukem Forever.
When it is released, we will be able to play Duke Nukem Forever, which by this time, better be awesome!
However, after it is released we then lose a lot of Duke Nukem Forever jokes. We will have to put thought into what will take its place in Wired News's Vaporware Awards.
The post-Duke Nukem Forever released world, will be vastly different to what we know today... and that makes me scared. Don't worry, we will always have the Phantom
Gentoo is not hard core. Any monkey that can use a command line can do a Stage 1 Gentoo install (I'm proof!). Linux From Scratch is hard core.
emerge "teh hardcorz" Good luck finding a stage-1 anywhere anymore, though. Gentoo's pretty much dropped Stage-1 and Stage-2. For a while, there were some people who tried fix bootstrapping for stage-1, but I think even they just concluded that after syncing and updating from the stage-3 install has the same result (albeit in less time) as a stage-1 install.
But you are correct: Gentoo is not hard-core. It's for developers and for people like me who occasionally have OCD and want to specify 1 thing too many that you can't easily specify with RedHat, SuSE or Debian.
It's been a while (probably around 5 or 6 years) since I've used Patrick's distribution, but I'd wager that Gentoo is just as hard core as Slackware....
Slashdot Mirror
Cue the purists saying: "But it is supposed to have hiss. That's part of its character."
Is that before or after they yell at him for not storing as .wav or .flac?
Why would you have to agree with Apple yanking it?
Because Apple does the same thing, but calls it 'hardware' instead of 'art'
So for example if I my mac is the master OS, and I set up a firewall set, does the windows OS have to go through the mac's firewall (and thus be protected better) or does it have direct access to the ports itself.

All in favor?
Party A: Aye!
All opposed?
Party B: NAY!

Granted, you have a few less than others, but it's worth giving a shot
I watch TV, I know what's going on, and quit trying to fool us! Forget whatever Douglas Hofstadter says, the future is now!

These numbers don't mean squat until they both select their VP's. Choosing the right, or wrong, VP can make all the difference in the world.
People are easily swayed. Another terrorist attack in the USA I think could sway the elections. That after 8 years, Republicans can't protect America?

I'd love to see this car in the shower. Or, at least for the instance of cars, either the front yard or the car wash.
How the hell would you wash these things? Something makes me think that a sponge and a hose just wouldn't cut it....
