It seems to me that having root access != having easy backdoor access to exes.
For instance, if I can load a wrapper around your financial program, without modifying your financial program (So AIDE would find it), I could more easily grab your data.
For the record, SELinux is nice, but should not be considered your first defense against attackers. Even if it's considered a good secondary defense, the primary defense should certainly be fixed ASAP.
So you're saying that we should abandon all things with no immediate return for humanity? Shit, we shouldda stopped on calculus then. It was worked on for a matter of years before it ever did anything of use.
So what's your proposition? We feed african children? Send money to china? Yeah, like that would do any good. The money and food would be hijacked by their own people before it ever made it there.
Religion and greed should be eliminated first, then everyone may be able to live in peace. Until then, you will have upper classes, middle classes and lower classes. You will also have warring factions intent on killing unbelievers.
It sounds like you're more neoconservative than conservative. If that's the case, there's no stopping you from embarking on your journey to find the bible infested, immigrant free, raise the deficit like it's going out of style, grass is greener forums.
Since when should a conservative care what a citizens sexual preference is? Since when should a conservative spend considerable amounts of money on it? Since when should a conservative care where the citizens of its nation come from? Since when *shouldn't* a (fiscal) conservative care about the ungodly amounts of money the nation gives out as 100% uncooked bacon to gigantic, inefficient and incompetent organizations?
You'd think with the evidence and coincidences that are showing up, that people may actually think these guys have something it say. Instead, some of you just dismiss it as BS. I'm a card carrying libertarian, and I'm siding with the liberals on this one. There's something fishy going on here, and I think it should be investigated.
I wonder, if the positions were reversed and you felt you were losing your country, would you:
A. Still give a fuck? B. Be outraged that fellow citizens don't listen to you, just because they have a different stance on abortion?
I have a 36" wega non-hdtv, I play dead rising on it. If you're not getting DR because you need to take a second glance to read the menu text (which you don't need to anyway, I've played the game just fine ignoring 90% of the text), it's not likely the fix would convince you to buy it either. Seriously, it's not like it's a madden fatigue or morrowind lockup/stuck in the hills type bug. During the first 5 minutes of the game, you have to squint about 5 times. BFD.
What? I don't understand what you're saying, but I think you're trying to counter my sig. Yes, I was:) For the record, the "royal you" means not you specifically but all of "us". BS meant bullshit. Just clearing it up in case any of our non-native english speaking readers have an issue trying to identify that acronym.
At any rate, I completely agree with you that a non-trivial amount of reboots are directly related to bad drivers, bad software, funky hardware or a good combination of them. No argument there. I do, however, disagree that the OSs in question are stable once hardware, software and drivers are controlled for.
To illustrate my point, I did this google query:
site:support.microsoft.com workaround reboot
And of the responses I got in the first few pages (of 7,480 total), I got the following links:
Every single one of those is a WinXP,2k or 2k3. (The third one is Wince, which affects me directly, having to reboot to get my bluetooth working all of the time).
Every single one of these has something to do, directly, with the OS or other MS software (One is MS games, another is MS IE5.01).
All of them have the single workaround of "reboot".
I found "Host Name Resolution Does Not Work After One Year When You Use a Hosts File" especially entertaining. It seems like MS would have to code something like that on purpose to introduce that bug. The hosts file just doesn't work anymore after 365 days.
So, you can argue all you want that you don't personally need to reboot your machines, but that doesn't make up for the fact that Windows has lots of bugs which prevent uptime in general.
The PS2 was seen as expensive when it came out, and thanks to ebaytards and the like, the average cost of one was well above the actual list price.
I don't understand why people complain about this and rag on the people who sell them on ebay. It's simple supply/demand and profits. Most of your lifestyle intimately depends on this concept, regardless of which end you're on.
The Windows reboot argument hasn't been an issue for years and diverts away from the real issue. Stop using it.
What windows reboot argument? Like how you have to reboot to gain back temporary stability or fix issues? If you're saying the royal you doesn't need to do that anymore, I call BS.
So you've been given the task of making lectures available to students. As if you're their dictator, you're worried about some of them watching them because they couldn't make it to class for some reason, despite them having paid for the class. What's the scoop? Why are you so worried about _them_? They're paying for it, right? There will be less people in the classroom if your dreaded scenario took place, and that's normally good, right? It's their responsibility to pass, right? So why do care whether they're there or not? Is it some gross way of telling yourself you have power?
The fact is, the lecture should be available at anytime, whether they were present for it or not. When I go to class, I often find myself distracted (By something that went on earlier, the car that almost hit me on the way there, the blonde to my left that's not wearing a bra, the sound of the failing ballast in the flourescent light, etc) and often not able to take very accurate notes. Most of the notes are good, but I often wish I could recall what the teacher said about X, or Y, or what she said in between A and B. A digital format would always be more beneficial than harmful, IMHO, especially if I have a bested interest in the subject.
While I agree with you, you should note that the entire bible, in and of itself has done far worse than just that phrase. Superiority comes built-in to most religions, which is why there will always be fighting between the religious nuts.
I apologize if I misrepresented something. I've never been a cable tech, nor do I have any idea of what a typical day is like for them (Outside of having them at my place, where some unexpected things have come up). I'm just replying to the guys above who must have just recieved a mail order business degree and suggesting they hire more techs in order for techs to be on time. Perhaps you know more about why techs are normally scheduled +/- 2 hours than I do, but I know a lot of it has to do with unpredictability.
And if you ran a cable company, your techs would be right on time. Even if they spent the last 30 minutes re-running a cable for a customer they didn't anticipate doing it for. Somehow, they would still arrive on time.
Or maybe you'll allot a 2hr time period to every service call. That way, techs that got done in 10 minutes have a 210 minute window for downtime. In which case they can drive back to your office with mileage being low on a truck, and gas being $3/gallon. Or maybe he can just take a break, you still pay him though. Or maybe it took 2.5 hours on the job because had to re-run the entire house for the customer. What then?
Just because some watery tart lobbed a scimitar at you doesn't mean you can go around advocating a ban on chess, especially in our autonomous collective.

The television and newspaper give you the news. On the internet, you go get the news. Big difference.
