What's w/the Google FUD lateley? I'm really curious; there's not a day that goes by lately without a FUD "story" appearing somewhere. It's very apparent that Google has seriously pissed off some people, as the so-called media has really been going at it lately w/their Chicken Little FUD & Fluff; sad really.
Another little rant: Google only has the info *you* GIVE THEM. I don't need GMail, nor do I need some lame Desktop search; why would I? As a professional, I need to be organized; if I need some tool to find my files, then I've got bigger problems than a few misplaced documents.
Seriously, what's the issue here? If you don't want SkyNET to have your data, THEN DON'T GIVE IT UP.
I'm just fine w/my old-school POP mail w/occasional web access while out of town, and I store my docs the same place I've stored them over the last ~20 years: where they belong, in a logical folder structure. Now before someone posts some weak, contrived example of a file that could be possibly belong in 2 different folders, I offer you the advanced technology of the 'ln' command, or its GUI counterparts.
It could be argued that marketing, not technical excellence, "made" Intel during the time period in question, not that the others "simply weren't enough better to make a difference".
Seriously, I think this speaks highly of WINE, which is surely not the submitters intention. As far as implementing WMF and not realizing the exploitability, well, I'm not too sure what to make of that. Seems like a troll, but perhaps the comment has some merit. Thoughts?
Now, I don't know the first thing about the cost of that kind of ammo, but I have to think that it's a little harder to come by than your vanilla bullet.

Or a paid ad. Seriously though, it is a novel concept, and although I don't buy RIAA music any longer (been about 5-7 years), I'm glad to see some bands trying something new.
Probably not; GP is obviously a banking industry 'bot threatened with the prospect of accountability. Is the GP really suggesting that we should never criticize? Funny idea, that.
ISPs should scan their networks for windows machines and disconnect any they find, regularly.
Yes, I know that wouldn't work, because so many of the customers run windows. But other than that, it's actually a sensible idea.
So let me get this straight... An ISP should disconnect ~80-90% of their clients because of some political and/or idealistic belief? But you say that's a bad idea. But other than it being a bad idea, it's a sensible idea. Then you generalize about "terminally clueless" operators.
Hmmm....very interesting concept; "fire" the bulk of your customers. Who is it that's clueless?:P
Seriously, alerting owners of infected machines sounds like a good idea, but in practice, until it is cheaper than the bandwith they consume, it'll never happen. ISP's are in it for money, not some sense of idealism or control. Granted, I like the idea of a "Windows-free" Internet, but let's be fair to the underpriveledged, mmmmkay?
Uugh. Good luck with that! I couldn't imagine using something like that for accounting.
That's because you don't understand it. This is meant neither as a troll nor an insult. Just my observation and personal experience. Once you allow yourself to think freely, you will be amazed at the possibilities open to you.
Here's my take: just turn the question around. Here's my interpretation:
"Why record every single show on the air, all at once, and then use recommendations, search, a grid, or any other means you care to name to figure out which of those thousands and thousands and thousands of hours of programming you want to watch, when you can program a TiVo to get certain shows for you."
Did you ever stop to think that you're corrections of other peoples' miss-speling's is just as annoying to us as the bad spelling and punctuation is too you?? Maybee its' just me, but somehow I doubt it.
I think it works for these sci-fi shows, when the distances they're 'shooting' are in the hundreds of kilometers.
That argument sort of falls flat when the Parkinson-cam is used in every action shot, including internal shots in small rooms... I agree it looks cool for the long outside (space) shots, but otherwise it is very distracting, sometimes almost inducing motion sickness.
Look: he defrauded thousands of people out of an excess of 11 billion dollars.
Eleven. BILLION.
Now I know it's "only money", but tell that to the poeple who lost their pensions/savings/investments. This is *real* damage done to many, *many* peoples lives.
Indeed, if IBM did happen to acquire the rights to UnixWare and OpenServer via such means, then it would be very helpful to the community if they released the source code to both products.

You took the post right out of my fingers. The old "in about 5 years" is the original "RSN"...
STFU, freak

Whew, I feel better now.
some days you eat the bar, some days the bar eats you
Wow, is that like some eastern thing?
This reminds me of the paranoid trying to stop the government from putting Fluoride in the water supply.
My uncle Jack was one of these people. Scary part: he was a General in the US Army. General Ripper (Uncle Jack, to me), you will be missed...
actually with proper coding a Universal binary, the exploit could be cross platform.
Absolutely correct. Also, if a pig is accelerated to a specific unstated velocity, it may, in fact, take to the sky.
Or not.

Not to mention the chocolate variety...

Obviously; no need to reiterate.
Even more impressive, Sergei can write English better than the average Slashdot editor.
;P
So can a dead badger. What's your point?

Exactly.
I'm curious - what is it like being a lifeguard *and* an IT manager?
Have you ever caught anyone peeing in the server room?

I have to agree with the MST3K crew that there are several others even worse, like Manos.

Please tell me you're not a pilot!
He's not the pilot, he's the co-pilot. The pilot is the drunk one...
Look: he defrauded thousands of people out of an excess of 11 billion dollars.
Eleven. BILLION.

And that, my friends, would be justice.
Hey Aggrajag, maybe you haven't been paying attention. Roughly half of us that did vote, including myself, did not vote for Bush.
Maybe you shouldn't judge a group of people by the actions of just some of them. Something for you to think about.
