On the contrary, I'll have to disagree with the fact that the military's IT is getting better. I was down at Davis Monthan this past March, and while I was touring their communications offices and whatnot, they were dealing with a script kiddie who had hacked his way into classified material. He was caught, yes, but it just shows how very little security has really prevailed within the military. For those who don't know, Davis Monthan is the Air Force base responsible for training all their A-10 pilots, and supposedly a "secure" base as far as IT goes.
Also, down in the Twin Cities where I lived was the home of the 934th Airlift Wing and the 133rd, I believe. Again, their IT infrastructure was a bloodbath. A sergent was being detained for hacking into more classified information, using nothing but telnet. No tools, no exploits, no nothing. He just telneted his way through the network until he got to something good.
All in all, I love the military, however its IT status is a trainwreck and a massacre waiting to happen.
I wonder if I can walk into SCO's headquarters and walk out with every server in there... Then we'll all see what real asshats they are. Ohhh yeessssssss....
The funny thing is that this kid lives by me. Not too far away, actually. I find that funny, especially when I drove by to find a shit load of those black FBI SUVs everywhere. Maybe I should take pictures...
Shit, it hasn't even been two hours and already the site has been Slashdotted. Jesus Christ, give ME a chance to at least see it before you all start jumping on it! EEEeeesssshhhh!!!!
If he wanted to sue the publishers/developers, he should've done it a long time ago... like when it first came out. The naming is purely coincidental, and almost generic. It's like saying, "HEY YOU! MY NAME IS ADAM SMITH! I'M GOING TO SUE YOU, BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE SAME NAME AS ME!" Give me a break.
Am I the only one who thinks that the Chineese are obsessed with red, fire, Dragons, and Gold stars? I mean c'mon! They limit their names to basically those four themes! WHERE'S THE CREATIVITY?! Here in the states, we have a variety of names such as Itanium, Winblows, Linux, and Yodigidy (ok, fine... that last one was to prove a point), but hey! WHERE IS THE CREATIVITY AND VARIETY, CHINA?!
We can send spammers, boy bands, Bill Gates, SCO, France, Windows, Brittany Spears, pigs, Tablet PCs, and HP into space. Who/what else can you think of to ship into space? Let's hear 'em!
There is a simple solution to stop spammers: put a bounty on them. Hell, I'd gladly put a good $100k on a spammer's head. If we all put bounties on spammers, spamming would be eliminated. Wha-la!
There really is no reason today to send humans into space. Everything can be launched via rockets these days. What I believe is that the government needs a discrete way to place spy satillites and other orbital platforms into orbit without the world's knowledge. "The space shuttle has launched today for a two week mission to deploy a state of the art communications satillite." Right. For all we know, there could be something like the Goldeneye system in place (note, I said "something like.") Anyway, just gives you something to think about... I think that the shuttle missions are very easily used as a ploy for government and military missions to be kept off the record.
Here are some simple instructions to avoid the RIAA and U.S. copyright laws in general:
1.) Pack up your stuff. Everything you own, pack it up. You'll be going for a trip.
2.) Sell your car. It's not like you'll need it here anyway...
3.) Go to the airport, check in your bags and whatnot.
4.) Move to Switzerland.
Then why don't we/. ers band together and make some sort of SG1 "influenced" UT2k3 mod, and get this prize, eh? Anyone interested can email me at kermes@oktagone.net... if you want.
Y'know, I think I may start downloading MP3s after this. I'm on Kazaa, and suddenly get that RIAA message. Now I search my entire network. There is not one MP3, movie, or any other illegal bit on it. In fact, the only things I had shared were some source code bits, and levels for games like UT2k3. Maybe they want those?
Anyway, this is disturbing that they threaten you with legal action over something that does not apply to you. It's definately a scare tactic, and one that they don't really put much effort into it. I mean c'mon! Not one stinking bit on there, and they threaten me with legal action... Legal action for what, I'm still wondering...
Am I the only one who gets a laugh out of what the west calls this processor? It's made in Communist China... Communism = bad... USSR... Red Dragon... ahhh forget it.
Leave it to CNet to give you the latest in breaking outdated news. "There is a network of computers called 'the internet' that is now hot among people." Way to go CNet. Way to go. =D

Not even thirty minutes, and the /. effect kicks in!

Choke another one up for the Penguin bandwagon!

Gee... I wonder if their crummy box office sales has anything to do with the fact that the Tomb Raider franchise is based purely on sex appeal.

Does this mean that I can get my cloaking device now and walk naked around downtown?
M$ hasn't sued them yet? What gives?
I do believe you are insane.
The death of web browsing innovation happened when Internet Explorer was released with Windows.
