Yeah so hydrocarbons are dangerous...the technology to reduce the danger has been around considerably longer. Battery powered cars are still crap and it still requires a tremendous amount of hydrocarbons to PRODUCE the car in the first place.
...is Obama concerned about this crap when gasoline is at all time highs, unemployment is near 30s Depression level, healthcare insurance has doubled in the last year and his administration is clamping down on energy and driving prices through the roof? I suspect he's in collusion with the oil companies big time.
Stewart Brand has been going on about this for years. I don't know anyone who would want to live like these people have to. In fact, I challenge Brand to go live as a squatter in Africa.
is proving to be just as incompetent and bumbling as the bush admin they so like to make fun of.
I mean come on...Obama gets lost when his teleprompter goes whacky and biden can't tell the difference between classified and unclassified information.
In addition to all this, obama is getting a lesson in running a country as opposed to being a 'community organizer' for christ's sake.
For example: reneging on closing GitMo? Increasing our involvement in Afghanistan? How many campaign promises does he have to break before people wake up and understand that he's just another power hungry political hack?
Transparency in government? Really? I have not seen any proof of that yet. How much transparency was there with the bills and executive orders he signed? Were they posted online for 48 hours before he acted on any of them?
We have all been suckers, including me. I voted for the jerk. I guarantee I won't vote for him again and it's only been a few months in office. I can't imagine the mess we'll be in 4 years from now.
it will be a long time before the death of Relational DBs.
People will make them work regardless. It is a bit like COBOL, there's lots of it out there and it will be maintained for years to come...put it in the bank.
If it keeps Microsoft, Yahoo, etc honest and innovative, then we the consumer can only benefit. Evil? um Oracle, MS, I consider evil. Google is truely an innovative company.
Geez, any professional sys admin can configure apache. If they can't they should be fired. If you are not a sys admin maybe you should be running IIS on Microsoft. If so you will still have nightmares because sooner or later you get 'owned' and it will be sooner rather than later because by default IIS the OS is wide open.
not only that but let them split off from the rest of the net. Fact is, the Internet for all it's faults work remarkably well.
Besides, there is no incentive for the US to give it up, it just won't happen. The US invented it, the US can maintain and manage it. Let those that want it start their own.
The UN is a remarkably mis-managed, wasteful and corrupt organization full of 3rd world dictators. To turn this over to them would be IMHO a disaster.
Firebird too is as robust if not more so than Oracle. I believe the whole issue, and one that Oracle is counting on is 'mindshare'.

OpenBSD is a great BSD and pf is simply the best firewall implementation there is and it is simple to use.
However, Theo is the last angry man, his attitude sucks, I wouldn't care to meet him and I will never purchase OpenBSD because of this. It's not rational I realize but it is just my opinion.

Encrypting email for the most part is a waste of time...UNLESS...
If you're doing something illegal.
Even if you're not doing anything illegal
IT'S just email.
From a business point of view, if you're sending email that is THAT sensitivel over the public internet you should be caught and fired.
Really... it's JUST email...

to believe anyone reading slashdot would seriously post this. I mean...come on...spammers have been doing this for YEARS.
One sure way to get more spam is to opt-out on email you didn't dbl opt-in to.
But then again, spammers must know that even slashdotters are suckers and that there is no hope to rid the planet of spammer scum.
Bush is gone...time to move on. How much longer are people gonna beat up on him and better yet what good will it REALLY do?
deserve any sympathy when they each start whining about the other.
Let the chips fall where they may.
any IT dept should have picked this up.
They deserve to get robbed.

This not a fight worth fighting unless you have complete control over the decision and implementation. Move on....
Fail they have every right to comment on what ever they want.
They are part of the shared culture unless there is only one of them doing it, which is doubtful.
