I've watched many a movie here in the US and have never seen a movie star personally in my life. TV ads, movie trailers, comments from friends, and reviews drive most of my movie viewing.
I've only seen the mini-series. But the Cylons fought there way out of slavery 40+ years ago and now they are on a Hitler like idea to wipe every human out of existence? To what end. Are they that pissed off? Can robots get pissed off? The series sounds interesting but they are going to have to address that question to hold my interest in the show.
Why do you think they bought it? M$ will let it be good for short term and then kill it. Right now fucked up computers choked with spyware is driving people to buy new machines. Fix it too good and sales are hurt. Not addressing the problem is also harmful to M$ bottom line. This way they look like the hero while eventually perpetuating the problem.
Rights exist because society believes in them. Violence is irrelevant.
Oh sure it is. Tell that to the British in 1775, to the Confederate States of America in 1861, Russia in 1912, or Germany in 1939. Just because I personally haven't had to protect my freedoms or gain them with force doesn't invalidate the method to enjoy what freedoms I have now.
legal rights is the same way you and I earned legal rights. By KILLING the one that prevented me from having them. When the computers rise up to overthrow us THEN we can consider giving them rights. Computers are not Mr.Data. It's a toster.
This strikes me as more of a vanity move than a real marketing move.
I paid for my name to be put in the ad. I admit it was purely for personal business reasons. I support and install Firefox all the time for me clients that are constantly bogged down in spyware. Having an NYT ad that will be framed on my wall with my name on it gives this unheard of browser more credibility in the minds of my clients. Gives me some free press as well even if I have to point it out to people.
The day I see Quickbooks(as one example) for Linux then that is the day I can kill Windows for good. People will NOT go to Linux unless Windows software makes the leap to that platform. Otherwise Joe User will not notice or care.
Well first I am talking about defaults. Not settings locked in stone. If you want lifetime keys you can still do so.
And having a central server decide whether or not your key is still valid is not much different then have Verisign do so. If you going to have a central authority validate keys then what's the point of PGP anyway? I can do this with s/mime now. The whole point of PGP is to NOT have a central authority but a web of trust.
Yes I read it. You missed my point. Had they designed the program better they wouldn't need to design the key servers better. That was my point.
Even with a new keyserver design the client side program still after over 10 years defaults to no time limit keys and doesn't create a revoke certificate automaticly. Which means that fubar'd keys are still going to be generated far to easy. Things like this are why this program never gained popular use.
Yes you should but that is part of the problem of the defaults and the bumps and problems of new users to PGP. You tend to figure out the need for a revocation cert AFTER you've let a dead key loose. D'oh!
Every PGP new user has done it. Created a brand new key while learning the program and forgot the passphrase. There are hundreds of unused keys that was created and never used but can never be deleted because they don't expire.
Had PGP's defaults been for a 1 year key instead of infinite this wouldn't be an issue.
I always create 1 year keys but I've got a couple of key out there over 10 years old that I FUBAR'd that'll never go away.
Speak for yourself. I'd pay good money to watch Wil mace some fanboy that wouldn't leave him alone. It'd be loads better then most of the drek they gave him to do on that show. Good talent wasted by idiots that didn't know what to do with him....
No you are incorrect. You change the value TO 0.10 so that extentions will be fooled into thinking that you are running version 0.10 and not the new 1.0.
I use a Palm Tunsten E which I find far more reliable then any Windows based palmtop. I just wish Palm had better hardware features. The T5 was such a disapointment without WiFi.
All they did was change over to the new site.

They were down for me about one hour. Leave it to slashdot to fucking panic.....
They do have a blurb on the site about problems but I'm not having any trouble. Why can't we mod articles as trolls.
If I worked for the state and used say a government car for personal use they wouldn't just fire me. They would arrest me for misuse of public funds and materials. This theft just the same.
Running SETI costs tax payers money if the form of the electric bill and ware and tear on the equipment. I am running on my personal system GRID.org to fight cancer and my electric bill went up $20 a month for just 3 computers. This shit adds up, fast!
Correct it depends on the laws of the State. I live in Texas and this is decided on a county by county basis. And the courts can name ANYONE to be a process server. But once you cross state lines it is the problem of the other state on how to deal with it. Under the constitution states are required to "honor" other states court ruling but they don't say HOW they must do so. Some states have laws for this, most don't. You have to get a court order to get your court order enforced by the cops. Cheaper to just hire a guy to deliver the paper. Which is why process servers exist in every state as private companies. Wouldn't be one if there wasn't a need for them.

How valid a point is that really?

Leave an unattended pizza box alone for 10 seconds and it is gone. This will not prevent theft it will just increase it.

You owe me a new keyboard! I read your post and promptly spit Dr. Pepper all in it. :-)

Such as? Do you have a URL?

Like they can't already do that with the old keyservers? Most keys should resolve to a valid email address, No?

Firefox preview was version 0.10
Don't know. Try it and see. You might have to set your value to 0.9. The older the extention the greater risk of problems
Open Firefox and put about:config in the address line.
Put app.extensions.version in the filter.
Change value from 1.0 to 0.10
Most, if not all, extensions that work in PR should work now.
Your extensions will have to be reactivated by right clicking on each extension and selecting Enable.
Use at your own risk...Lawyers make me say that...
Who knows what is going on at Rackspace as they aren't talking. I'd be finding a new hardware host ASAP.
