The difference might have to do with expectation of privacy. If you give your information to a place like this, you know they're going to whore it all over the internet (it's usually written in big bold letters in the TOS --not in lawyerspeak either...they use nicespeak (as in this wonderful feature will connect you with people all over the world and enjoy the benefits offered by our associates)).
Paypal, ebay and everything else, there is a reasonable expectation or privacy in the information given. You don't expect your bank to publicize how you have $X in the bank account for someone to harass you for. If your bank did do that you'd be upset...
Of course, not that I'd be caught dead giving information to a service like this, but that's just my opinion
I agree that Microsoft has gotten better in the past couple of years, but after a bit of research you're arguments don't support your thesis.
Look at the issues that you mention:
The "one"Microsoft's patch You mentioned was actually three Windows fixes (and one Office fix) bundled together
"The updates fix at least eight security issues," one of which "could allow an attacker to gain control of a person's PC via the Internet"
The three linux patches and the bugfix (which mostly just optimized some things and fixed a memory leak):
The first issue was a local priviledge escalation issue. Local meaning you already have to have access to the box. Although local priviledge escalation exploits can be used with other techniques to gain control PCs, they're nothing compared what microsoft was patching.
The second issue was with lftp. Uh....lftp is an ftp client so I at least wouldn't really count it as part of a server patch..but...This vulnerability does allow a remote site to execute arbitrary code on the local machine (it didn't say as what user, but probably as the current user).
The third issue (was actually to minor issues) were with apache. These fixed a vulnerability that would allow a user to execute arbitrary code as the user apache if they have the ability to edit the apache configuration files. The other issue was a vulnerability in a module with a non-default setup that "can
result in CGI script output being sent to the wrong client".
I'm not going to say which is better, but at least be honest with your arguments. Only zealots feel the need to hide facts in order to convince others of the truth.
1. I think I lost you somewhere between the part where pop-up ads became less effective and the part where advertisers buy more of them. IANAWebMaster, but I would think that a reduction in the effectiveness of pop-up ads would result in a reduction in the number of pop up ads.
3. If you want to support a site, then *you* can enable the pop-up ads for that site (not hard on mozilla). Don't force everyone on the internet to view ads for a website that only you may like (that'd be like requiring atheists to recite the "under god" part of the plegde of allegiance--which some fascists seem to think is a good idea...but that's another story).
2. also, you said "And what happens when websites sue you for denying them income because you blocked their popups?"
Last I checked websites do not have the right to earn money. Some websites may say that they require you to look at their pop-ups, but those restrictions apply to customers and not to their ISPs (would Girl Scouts of America sue god if it turned out I had joined and wasn't quite female?).
4. oh and here's the part of the post I like best--where I get to brow-beat you with a mollusk. A loopy guy like you deserves his own special subnet. After consulting with numerous shellfish in the field, it was decided that the 127.0.0.0/8 subnet must have been made just for you. (A FULL CLASS A!)
Don't worry about me though...I'll get along just fine with my 255.255.255.255/0
It's not silly at all: If cds can't be played then they can't be ripped. If the cds can't be ripped then people can't pirate them online. If people can't pirate cds online, then they will *have* to buy them.
so the RIAA have finally found (or lost?) the missing step! 1. make cds that can't be played 2. profit
In my experience automation != user-friendliness. One of the things that most often annoys my parents and brother is that the computer just does things without asking. Always when I'm at my computer (linux box) and they're at the family computer I hear them saying "what's it doing now?" or "why'd it do that?".
To be more user-friendly, I think, computers need to be more like other appliances, and only do what they are asked to do. You put toast in the toaster you press a button, and it toasts. The user doesn't have to worry about clippy asking them what type of jam they want, or the toaster being busy with a self-cleaning cycle, or blue-screening (and losing their breakfast). The toaster should use the settings that the toaster is set for, and NOT automagically import the browness settings recommended by the bread manufacturer, the heat settings from the supermarket, or Lee Taxor's timer settings. The toaster should not change colors to look like an oven to look like PlaySchool's MyFirstToaster. It should just toast toast.
If the computer is going to do something (at least for the first time) it should pop up ONE dialogue box briefly and clearly describing why it is about to do something: ex. The inbox is taking up a lot of space: <size of Inbox>. <name of company providing email client> recommends that you compress the inbox if it exceeds <size limit>. Compressing the inbox will save <amount of space saved>, but may make <email client> slightly slower to load. <email client> will proceed to compress the inbox. [Ok] [Cancel] __ hitting Ok will compress the inbox. hitting Cancel will not compress the inbox. hitting the X in the upper right corner will have the same effect as clicking Ok
So to return to my toaster analogue: If the computer is in need of maintenace of some kind make it apparent that maintenance will be needed in the near future. Not with those evil pop-up dialogue boxes: Your computer needs to be defragged. It will explode if you do not click ok. Click ok to perform long task that will bluescreen and lose all your unsaved work. Click ok or cancel to continue. [Ok] [Cancel] __ hitting the x in the upper right (most natural way to get rid of annoying pop-ups) will result in your computer exploding
Instead use something like a bar or meter that slowly shrinks as the maintenance becomes more and more necessary.
Or to borrow from the toaster: If the computer is in need of defragging, make the desktop look like it is filled with little partially burnt crumbs. The more fragmented the more crumbs. If possible have the computer start to emit an odor if it becomes really crumby.
I've never seen a description of how to upgrade linux which didn't make me decide it would be easier just to do a clean install ofa new version. If there is such a description/method, please post and earn some well deserved karma.
Firstly, being a moderate does not mean that a person is unwilling to take a stand:
Moderate/moderate/ adj.
4. Opposed to radical or extreme views or measures, especially in politics or religion.
Secondly, I'm unsure how such a man-centric view can even be supported based on what I know of Judeo-Christian ethics. It has been a while since I looked at a bible, but I seem to recall that Adam was set as a sort of caretaker of Eden in the creation stories (giving names and stuff). Adam was even directed not to eat a type of protected wildlife (a tree). I also remember hearing many sermons on stewardship (usually coinciding with when they collected the yearly "voluntary" membership dues). If we are not stewards of this earth, then what are we? In this sense it is our duty to God to take care of the earth he has entrusted unto us. So go thee hence and some such...
Myself, I tend to stay away from religion (too much group-think, and since I'm no good at group-think I don't really fit in). So for me environmentalism is not a religion. I don't worship the grass the air or the trees, but I am sensitive to what I breathe in (of course I come home for christmas and my parents have put mothballs in every closet....ek...). I happen to like fresh air and fresh water. Walk around a city during rush hour traffic and tell me the air is healthy.
In short it's not about judeo-christian ethics, humanocentric views, God, god, or human rights. It's not even a matter of priority of man vs environment. It's a matter of what is best for man.
PS. Thanks for the straw man. I've always wanted one of those ^_^.
And this means that all the talentless people that graduated with Comp Sci degrees hoping to be "the next Bill Gates" will have moved on to something like management, leaving the programming to the real programmers.
I just don't understand these people--they hate/don't understand computers anymore than my mother (still doesn't 'get' double-click) trying to become something they're just not cut for doing something they don't enjoy.
Really IMHO a comp sci or sofware degree doesn't mean much because of people like this. They don't know what they're doing, and they're diluting the market for people that do.
If my tin-foil hat were a little tighter I might even think that these people could be the cause of the economic downturn--people who don't know what they're doing, working for less, getting less done = less productivity => recession
You're probably right, I was just trying to do the same kind of spinning as you are guilty of--except I don't have as much practice.
I'll admit that Dean is probably farther left than I am, but after the past 4 years I'm more willing to err in that direction than the other way.
As for the election, Bush has the advantage right now, but the race hasn't started. I think it will get closer as the election draws near and both candidates fight over the middle ground.
Of course due to the lousy electorate voting system my vote won't count for anything (being in a firmly republican state that no candidates even bother to advertise in).
Anyway...I can't in good conscience support the industrial-military complex (which says that war is good for us; what's good for us is good for america; america must stay at war) and its selfish goals.
Have only ONE GUI. No KDE vs Gnome, just standardize on one, but keep compatibllity libraries for leagacy apps until they are replaced by modern apps.
The command line must be disabled by default, and the only way to get it is to install an unspported package, with a huge disclaimer in bold red text saying explicitly that they can destroy their system, and the user must sign a disclaimer and have to enter in a 50 character activation code (weekly) to confirm that they want to use such dangerous software.
Up to date software in the STABLE distribution, with contiuous upgrades which should promote the use of more sophisticated hardware. Release a core distribution every year, with service packs throughout the year. For example UserLinux 2004, UserLinux 2005 SP3.
One of each app, no more. One text editor, mp3 player, video player, image viewer, office suite, email client, image minupulation program. These should all be completely integrated into the user environment seemlessly, so that they are almost an integral part of the operating system.
Must come with comprehensive documentation, with interface reviews, proofreading and all. With the option to have PRINTED manuals, access to a moderated user forum (read: RTFM response not allowed). Furthermore, all documentation should be written on the level of the average user. Users do not really need to know why this does that, just inform them of what is necessary to complete expected tasks.
Most importantly, ALL options MUST be configurable from the gui and only from the gui! If just one thing has to or can be done from the command line or a text file then the user will be confused. In order to simplify things all settings from all programs need to be concentrated into one of the 4 binary "registry" files to be placed in the/linux,/linux/system, and/tmp/deleteme directories.
Well...since that's where linux is going, I'll probably have to leave...
I already left one operating system for that reason....
if BSD weren't dead I might move to that.....*sigh*
How is hurd coming along?...
Oh.... guess I better start on my own kernel then.......*trots off*

There's nothing "special" about Anime. I watch it because it's different and more interesting than what's available on tv (which is boring at best and downright turgid/dumb most of the time -- not to mention these shows ALWAYS manage to get their facts wrong...even news shows and the "Discovery" channel...).
Whether the plots are incomprehensible, or have bad character development is mostly dependent on the series. I'll admit that there are a LOT of Anime out there that just plain suck. So I try to just watch the good ones. I watch the first 4 episodes and if it sucks I don't watch more.
For me it's not the "obvious" 'I-wanna-shag-Asian-chicks(girls) thing'. In the Anime I watch at least, the girls don't look asian (what race of girl has blue hair anyway?). I watch it because it looks cool. I like the animation style (at least of the newer stuff, the older [70s] stuff where only the mouths move is...not so good). I find the characters more realistic and complicated than those on mainstream american tv. Mainly I probably enjoy it because it's different from american tv, and is not afraid to challenge certain values (in a way that lets the viewer draw their own conclusions) that american shows seem to step around (like god, or fate, or the nature of existence).
As for the 'Alien Tentacle Rape stuff', I haven't seen any Anime like that (I haven't looked), the closest I've come is seeing an Anime that makes fun of the tentacle rape stuff (but that was pretty disturbing on its own) and that was with "Puni Puni Poemi Episode 2" (nasty show....but f-ing hilarious). Anyway It seems that every time someone is writing an objection to Anime they bring that up as if it typifies Anime (which is really just a red herring-- like if everytime someone brought up how much they hate american tv they'd also add, "and what of that wierd S/M stuff? Just fucking disturbing"). I would agree that if all Anime had tentacle rape stuff I would not watch it, but to discount an entire medium just because a small part (which only probably exists from my perspective) is aweful seems incredibly stupid (no offense).
What they probably meant was that was when they ran their twelve searches, 42% of the results from those searches (which yielded a total of 1,286 files) were child porn.
So that makes 540 porn files on a service containing hundreds of millions of files...which is not really that bad.
wait a minute. A 10% management base * 40000 employees = 4000 managers => counts as -40000 employees 40000 employees - 4000 managers = 36000 nonmanager employees.
Totaling the effective employee count of 36000 nonmanager employees and -40000 employee equivalent managers = -4000 employees.
How can a company employee < 0 persons? Even if they can, that would imply that their products would be regressing, and as bad as Microsoft software is, it *is* getting better.
I'd say a manager was worth about -8.99975 employees, but that's just a rough estimate

My economics is a little rusty but IIRC....
Service Industry: Industry that doesn't produce a physical product, but instead renders a service.
Ex. Lawyers, Plumbers, Physicians, Consultants, Hair Dressers, Telephone Sanitizers, hookers, etc.
Basically any time you pay someone to do something, not for something<physical object>, you're paying a service industry.

Dean is about freedom. If you don't like something, don't do it, but it's not fair for you to tell everybody what they can and can't do.
Dean doesn't want a "massive tax hike" he is just going to repeal Bush's tax cut.
His massive new government medical bureaucracy is listed to cost 88 billion--that's cheaper than the war in Iraq.
