A bit hard for most of us to try, especially since today is the 30th...
64 packages in one month is more than 2 packages being added a day. And besides, among the notable additions were "xmms-funtimedancer." How did NetBSD users survive without a funtime dancer?
First of all, the article notes that "But the link has neither been well established nor explained." Secondly, if you do have "sever asthma" (asthma so bad, you want to sever your lungs from your body), I would argue that this article is important. Every thing possible that can be done to reduce the risk of an asthma attack - which could be lethal, is important.
And the article does not come from the New York Times Science section, but from the Health section. If you are going to claim stories about health are sensational, I don't want to hear it.
I always find it interesting how many more comments appear on articles that have nothing to do with science, but still have some kind of generic American appeal. Considering the current time on the East coast (just after midnight), it will be interesting to see how many posts it has a couple of days from now.
In his confession he says that he acted alone, and had no intention to disseminate the information.
I think that was why he was implying his SSN was no longer in danger, not because of the time since he graduated. If he thought that his record had been removed, he wouldn't care.
I find it interesting that with the heavy-handed tone of the message, they still find it necessary to put at the end "Thank you for taking this notification seriously." Automatic assumption that the college students at U of Utah will either:
a) ignore it.
b) not believe it.
In fact, the entire tone of the message has a kind of "you are not adults, you are children" type feel to it. By setting up a no-tolerance policy, the administration is sending the message that it does not trust its students.
If I lost my network access, I don't know what I would do. I would have to go use the computers (running Redhat, Windows 2000, or OS X) in the 24-hour computer lab. Oh, the horror!
True, no self-respecting XP user would have anything to do with the accounts script in the Control Panel, but the better method of dealing with user accounts is both counter-intuitive ("Performance and Maintenance?" But "User Accounts" is right there!) and practically hidden (Performance & Maintenance -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management (Local) -> Local Users and Groups), at least as far as former 95/98/Me users are concerned.
No, this is a design flaw in XP, part of Microsoft's attempts to dumb down the NT kernel for the home user.
Too true. If you have Windows XP Home, you can't even use the Local Users things in Computer Management, because it isn't displayed. If you go to system32 and open the file manually, it gives you an error message similar to "You're using Windows XP Home Edition, and you can't use this. Give us more money and try again."
That's funny. I have exactly the opposite problem: Windows XP is fine, but KDE 3.0 seems to run slow with my 256 megs of ram and my 1.8 Ghz (Celeron) processor.
Anyone with 116 Google results does not need to make a name for himself.
Now, I know that you are going to say that all of those are because of his case (although the first result is from a different suit...), which proves your point, yadda yadda. Thus, I point you to this Usenet post, which predates the court case by almost a year.
It is making fun of the recent post on IBM monitors overheating. You should already be laughing.

Server In A Fly
·
· Score: 3, Informative
Well, their new experiment (involving an earthworm) is a bit more disturbing, but just as interesting. Supposedly, there is a webcam up here, but I only get darkness...
If wireless networking devices eventually get small enough, they could install a webserver in the fly while it was still alive. Or they could do it with bees (one hive = Beowulf cluster).
Does anyone (human) have a webserver chip installed in them?
If other computers on your network (whether that is a LAN or the Internet) are vulnerable, you should protect your computer by installing a firewall, or disabling services that could compromise your computer. The fact that you got infected is your own fault.
Maybe one day, one of our faster spacecraft will cruise by and pick it up.
Either that, or our colonists on Aldebaran will get a surprise 2 million years from now.

Like this New York Times article, The Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Deer (money required).
Yet another example of someone not reading the article in the post. The linked article from the Ozarks newspaper comes from December 4, 2002.
As far as I can tell, your upload rate is how fast people are downloading from you. So yes, it does work...

- Massive Distribution Version Release
- Long Period during which FTP mirrors are overloaded
- I decide it would be good to burn CDs
- Laziness ensues
- I actually burn CDs
- as soon as the burning starts, new packages come out
- as soon as the burning stops, new distros come out
- Massive Distribution Version Release
- I cry...
Note there was no "4. Profit!" in there...64 packages in one month is more than 2 packages being added a day. And besides, among the notable additions were "xmms-funtimedancer." How did NetBSD users survive without a funtime dancer?

I would just like to say, "I'm ashamed that John Carter comes from Texas."

And why wasn't this obvivous? That's the entire point of the "exclusive" filter!

Actually, if you live in the US, you could, if you go to TerraServer.
And think of the wonders it could do for traffic!
Overturned tractor-trailer? *ZAP* Not overturned anymore...
By the way, could I catch a ride with you?
Shouldn't that be:

According to our friends at winbeta.org, it is a dupe, and not of the dual-post kind.
