I wonder if/what impact this will have on the many of the homeless. This could be a great thing. I wonder how many just fall out of contact with family/friends. Maybe this will help them have an easier time keeping that line of communication open. A lot of homeless are victims of mental illness, and a lot of mental illnesses are only made worse buy isolation.
I think it'd be funnier to see non-technical writers writing what they think is technical. It'd be interresting to see how stereotypical we actually are or not. If I want technical accuracy, I can just go to lunch with a co-worker.... boring.
sure, your brain may work harder when you lie, but they're not considering the effect telling the truth has on the rest of your body. For instance the beating you'll receive if you were to tell your best friend the truth, that you did in fact sleep with his girlfriend.
Is there really a market for it?

Vid games are market driven products. If there were a market for religion in games, don't think for a second these corporations wouldn't have already tapped into that? It's because the majority of gamers, at least that I've encountered, don't believe in the organized religion that lives in our mainstream reality. Most gamers are science nuts, and science is about getting to the bottom of why we exist, something religion fiercely ignores. It may be worth a shot, but I doubt games diluted with religion will sell enough to carry it's own weight. However, games where there may be fictitious religions with better ideals and morals than the pathetic ones we're forced to hear about now may prove exciting and interesting.
thanks for making my day. something so seemingly pointless, yet you had the guts to publish it, and look how many smiling faces are walking around their offices this friday! nice job.
Good point. I also forgot about 1950's - 1960's South Vietnam(was just plain old Vietnam then I believe). They also gave homes away. Nice little huts. The only drawback. You had to store food and weapons for the VC.
right, as opposed to all the alternative countries that you know of that give away housing? name one! btw, it's us taxpayers that flip the bill for homeless programs, so, I think it's a small price to pay for valuble research that could be gained from this.
I don't think it will do much good nor harm in today's job market. And you don't have to advertise that you have one when job searching if you feel it's going to scare employers away. However, a PhD is still a pretty assume accomplishment in my book!
Correct me if I'm wrong here. Buy it's my understanding that the validity of the GPL is to be determined by lawmakers, not a couple of yahoo lawyers. It seems to me to be completely irresponsible for a lawyer to make such a public declaration. I think these gentlemen should be reported to the Bar Association.
I've experienced this first hand in the past, when I was merely a "scriptor". I don't believe however that it is descrimination so much as poor management, or managements lack of understading it's uses. A good manager should be well-rounded and probably a programmer her/himself with knowledge of both compiled and scripted languages. I've recently become pretty handy at both, and I'm finding that more often than not, I end up choosing a script, say perl or php,etc over c or java for day to day utitilties.
Sounds like a good reason to promote more privatization. I know the more liberal parties mean well, but the reason things like this are happening is because certain people in government believe that we, the people, are too stupid to do or run anything on our own. If libraries were privately run, this would never happen. The company could tell the FBI where to go. However, who knows who the company would give their info to and for what cost? It's a loose, loose situation! I guess it depends on who you would rather have tracking your habbits. I'd personally prefer the corporations, Barnes and Noble already knows a lot about me I'm sure, so if I had to choose, definately not the US. Government! Besides it's we who are paying for their intrusions! At least at book stores we get something out of it!
Yeah, but from reading the docs on FreeS/WAN it appears that the only patch is for 2.2 kenrels not 2.4's? Is this correct? Also, It'd be nice if they put this patch or something similar in the 2.5 kernel along with the regular IPSEC support!
thanks
Anyone know if this will support VPN's using IPSEC wjhere either peer may be behind 1 or more firewalls? Right now, this has become an issue for a project I'm working on, and we're havin all sorts of issues.
Thanks
I'll back this up, I swap between NPR and WLS-AM radio on my hour commute to work every morning. This way I get the liberal republican-bashers point-of-view, and the Republican War-mongers POV. Then I try to dicipher something between the two, but on both I have heard the word 'Terrorist' attatched to the beltway sniper many times! On BBC news too.
This is just plain stupid. Did I go to JOCKdot.org by accident?

Overview of the BSDs
·
· Score: 1
Agreed that this article is great for bringing BSD onto the scene. I just started using FreeBSD recently at my new job, and coming from a Linux world, the install was awesome and it runs great, and after getting used to the filesystem, that's great too. However, I don't think it should have been put above Linux as much as the author had. I think Linux has it's place, on the desktop, and even more so, as a R&D tool.
Also, I didn't get the feeling that the author was putting FreeBSD in a bigger light than the others, could be my lack of experience with the BSD's.
Well, after reading the article, I'm shocked to hear the summary of the Apple Darwin License. It sounds pretty counter-productive to me. Correct me if I'm misinterpreting it.
I guess the best we can do is keep our actions legal. Wait for them to make a mistake and go after every party involved like a male pit bull on acid. And eventually put this whole mess in the trash where it belongs.
That would be easy, I don't have time to share files, so I don't and I only use open source software, with a few proprietary items that are licensed. So you'd think I'd have some protection. I didn't even think about the ability to go after the provider.
Say my DSL account got shut down one day and I found out it was because my daughter did a book report on a band and it had mentioned song titles in it. I use my connection for business, as I'm a freelancer. I wonder what legal action one could take against them. I have a feeling it would become quit expensive for them.
Please don't leave out us Capitalists! We like to use Linux too. As for games, I play Tribes 2, quake3, unreal tourney, strike force, and many others successfully on my debian distro. I see no reason to run AOL myself, but it sure would be cool to visit mom's house someday and see her launching her AOL apps from Gnome on Mandrake!

Yeah, because Limewire is the first place I go when looking into evaluating software. Your a thief and got what you deserved!
sweet, thanks for the link. i just d/l the latest knoppix live cd and noticed it was doing that also, i guess they're already using freedesktop?

Looks as if one might have more luck going after the lawmakers who, and if , put it into place.
