Or how about as opposed to nothing. You could recycle that old computer (really recycle, not ship to a landfill in China) and buy shared webspace from a company. They can host thousands of shitty little websites with the same amount of electricity, and the net cost to you is about the same.
I believe that linux distributions like this that cater to older hardware encourage responsible environmental behavior among computer users.
Wait, you mean like this ??
I find it really convenient to have access to an always on, personally reconfigurable server that I can use for everything from a database to a small dynamic website.
Why yes. Nothing quite helps the environment like running all those old computers 24 hours a day!
Actually a full transcript is almost impossible to find. You can only find excerpts of the Pentagon's transcript. Throw another one down the memory hole.
.. so you can do the opposite ? Seems like good advice for me. Notice how the popularily of Firefox exploded right around the time that AOL adopted IE for their browser.
... there is no way in hell this would be successful. The market for this is too small- basically Richard Stallman and non-x86 BSD and Linux boxes. Plus you are competing with 2D-only drivers on cheap Nvidia cards.
Terrorism only requires Terror. Hence the name. A single hostage, a hijacked airliner, a poisoned water supply, an assault case, all count as terrorism because they produce terror.
Isn't that too broad of a definition to be meaningful ? It seems include armed robbery and extortion, for one thing. I don't think it's useful to relabel everything terrorism, just because someone might have been scared or intimidated.
I thought Columbine was amateur terrorism, but it's a murky distinction. The question seems to be - does terrorism require hostages or not ? Hijacking a jet or making bomb threats incites terror because it threatens peoples' lives, but what about indiscriminantly killing people ? Is that terrorism or not ? I would have to say that if the operation is planned, then it is terrorism. Recall that the Oklahoma City bombing was labelled terrorism well before 9/11. Granted, the label was applied at a time when the media thought it was done by Arabs.
I think you've hit the nail on the head here. I expect that in 20 years I'll have to hear all this whining about how people didn't have children and now they're old and everybody just wants them to die so that resources can be freed for the next generation of selfish, whiny, bastards. Wonderful.

I don't know what to say. I'm stunned.
You can do better. It hasn't stopped politicians from beating John Ashcroft , who unlike Cheney, may be alive.
The record industry would have you think so. Remember when .mp3 first appeared ?
Oh, you meant ANTI-virus vendors. Damn I was confused for like, a minute.
...this is the official on-topic place for all Slashdot readers to discuss the election itself.
Kindof like a "free-speech zone". Damn that phrase cracks me up.
Prehaps if you live in Flordia...

Looks like someone needs a rocket fueled webserver...

Imagine that, the website is also a whore.
*THAT* is the problem here. It's not a technical problem, it's a social one - and you can't solve a social problem with a technical solution.
:p
Then I guess there's no point in changing SMTP...
Are you dating someone in Everquest, by chance ?

From scratch to a fully booted system in a week. Gentoo users must be jealous.
Honestly, does every article have to be a troll ?
Everyone knows that tinfoil stuff you buy in a store has tracking stuff in it. To really be safe, you have to make your own.
Or think of it this way. Now the extremists will know exactly who to kidnap, or where best to strike with their suicide bombs! Feel the security!
I mean, it's not like you're going to be broadcasting your personal information... right??
Hahaha, yeah. Nobody would ever do something that stupid.
Yeah, God forbid that happens.

Are you renicing X ? I know this was typically done to increase the responsiveness of 2.4 systems, but it shouldn't be done on 2.6.
