Damn it!
How many times do you retards need to spout your "wisdom"? "I never saw a computer until I was in 7th grade." You are a retard, they didn't let the tards have computers until it was necessary, that's why.
Schools need some technology. Teachers need to get with the program and understand how to use these tools. Students need some exposure. I think they need to learn to type. Also, controlled access to programs that do other functions is good. Like crappy math programs that go over basic facts. Why isn't there programs like some of the old basic math programs on the C64 available in the Open Source world?
Now, teachers need access to teaching aides that are based in technology. If I go to a presentation and it doesn't have a couple of good power point slides and some interactive content, then I'm generally bored. Many of the online classes I take are pretty interactive. I could see a grade school teacher offering up something like an online assignment that would help these kids.
Your kids are watching tv, playing games, and exposed to interesting "gee whiz" type of stuff all the time. Mrs.CrabApple droning on for 6 hours will kill your kids soul. You should be encouraging these teachers to learn how to implement some basic concepts of presentation. They should be using all of tech available at their disposal.
And why doesn't my kids teacher have an fing email address? RRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
I think you could be doing workshops on basic skills, creating Power points, some basic web site building etc.
Can you imagine a game where the peasants rise up and over through the knights, bishops, queen and the castle? The object is to trap the king. My imagination is wrought by these pawns, i mean peasants overthrowing the king and his people. And get this, they are lead by another King.
I can just see the violence. Wait it's done on a board, theirs no blood. Sure it could be down right discusting, but it's all about how it's done.
I mean look at the kids song "Ring a round the Rosey", it's about the black plague.
Overall I would say that it depends on the area that the coffee shop is in and what sort of customers the owner is hoping to attract. I say that kids in general will appreciate the wireless access but will most likely ignore it or abuse it. Business customers would definately use it and would appreciate it, but there comes a point when they will start to abuse it. My idea would be to set up something like a nocat http://nocat.net/ setup and base the autentication on something that can be added to the receipt. Obviously not 1,2,3,4 but some random number generator or something. I leave that up to your imagination, because it would be simple or hard depending on your implemenetation of a cash register. Give each number an expiration of a certain time. You can only log on from that time on of issueance of the passkey. So I buy my Latte, on the receipt is my passkey. Use it or loose it. Heck you could vary the expiration time based on traffic. I would also hang a sign that gave some general guidelines. No illegal activity, nothing indecent, no taking others Internet time.... And put something to the effect that violators will be banned. Physically and by mac addresss (well I wouldn't put that in the sign.) Other than that, I would block all traffic except web. Secure administration policies, and no access to the equipment by the beverage servers.
I don't know about other schools in the US, but my daughter's school, doesn't appear to have much appreciation for OSS. I don't want to name names, but it's a public school in North San Diego County. Anyway, they sent out a newsletter which said something to the effect of "Summer is here and your kids need to learn how to type." It went it to how the future is here, blah, blah, blah...Interweb...computers and kids. It said that we should buy our kids one of those great typing tutor programs. And it had MS crapware and a few others. All paid for software. Not even freeware. Now I know most of the people on my block, and the parents of my kids friends. None of us has the money (read we live in San Diego County) to buy software for our kids. That was all the list included. Nothing about Tux Typing or.. Well I can't think of anything except TT at this moment. And this was from the Computer teacher. I sent an email, but the response was not what I expected. Basically very sweet and nice, but not really "Hey your absolutely Right!!!"
Come on Slashdot. What is this, news for AOL users? This kiddie crap. Yes, most thieves will just boot the computer with Windows and try to get on the net. But this is Slashdot. We're nerds or something. And this ain't F***ing news. If I got a laptop that was stolen, hell if it was used, I would format it:

Q. Can Computrace Personal be removed? A. The Computrace Personal software is a low-level utility that is as tamper resistant as a disk-based utility can be. The software can only be removed by an authorized user with the correct password so please be sure the password is stored in a safe location and not on the protected computer.
Q. What happens if a computer's hard drive is removed? A. The software resides on a computer's hard drive so if the drive is removed the computer will no longer be protected and can not be located if stolen or lost.
I think we are on the cusp of the P2P Television era. I have been watching http://www.thebroken.org/ and http://www.systm.org/ . Two really great Tech shows.
My only real bitch about P2P TV is that there is no organization. Does anybody do a website about P2P TV content? Were the hell are all the pirates that take a lousy VCD quality cam of Batman Begins and turn it into a somewhat watchable DVD? They should be distributing content on P2P and the other.... thing... Use... something or another.
But back to my point. This is the 1940's/1950's of P2P TV. Now, one of you web monkey's, get out there and code up a site!! Get the word out, so we can choose.
1) Set up a website about P2P Television
2) Come up with a catchy name for said site
3) Organize video distribution and editing on things like Use... something or another
4) Get sponsors
5) Profit!!!!
Sorry, I couldn't resist.
I was very impressed by Justice Breyer's concuring opinion: ---Cut--- "Such legitimate noninfringing uses are coming to include the swapping of: research information (the initial purpose of many peer-to-peer networks); public domain films (e.g., those owned by the Prelinger Archive); historical recordings and digital educational materials (e.g., those stored on the Internet Archive); digital photos (OurPictures, for example, is starting a P2P photo-swapping service); "shareware" and "freeware" (e.g., Linux and certain Windows software); secure licensed music and movie files (Intent MediaWorks, for example, protects licensed content sent across P2P networks); news broadcasts past and present (the BBC Creative Archive lets users "rip, mix and share the BBC"); user-created audio and video files (including "podcasts" that may be distributed through P2P software); and all manner of free "open content" works collected by Creative Commons (one can search for Creative Commons material on StreamCast). See Brief for Distributed Computing Industry Association as Amicus Curiae 1526; Merges, A New Dynamism in the Public Domain, 71 U. Chi. L. Rev. 183 (2004). I can find nothing in the record that suggests that this course of events will not continue to flow naturally as a consequence of the character of the software taken together with the foreseeable development of the Internet and of information technology. Cf. ante, at 12 (opinion of the Court) (discussing the significant benefits of peer-to-peer technology)." --End---- http://wid.ap.org/scotus/pdf/04-480P.ZC1.pdf
I think that it shows that at least some of the Justices do have views that Technology proficient would agree with. Is the ruling "Right"? I don't know, but I feel better knowing that it was a concenting opinion and that at least one of the Justices seems to know something technology.
Now tell me this isn't a fscking lark. MSnbc is running an article about "Would you have allowed Bill Gates to be born?" just days before Discovery Channel's "Greatest American" http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/greatestameri can/greatestamerican.html Which is voted on by people. I wouldn't be suprised to see about a hundred or so more of these "stories" about ole' Billy Gates.
Here's your goal for the next year. Get a better paying job.
Here is what I did. I said that I am going to do better and get more money and be treated better. I started at a company were I was capping out at 38k a year. The benefits sucked and work was a nightmare. I was berated, yelled at.... I was getting very depressed.
I quit. I found another job. Granted, the pay was almost half but it was being a sysadmin in a crazy ISP tech support environment. I touched everything. I worked as hard as I could. Came in really early left late all the time. I had a two hour commute each day. I made manager in 4 months.
By 8 months I was burned out,
By 9 months I decided it was time to get a real job. for two weeks straight I located every company in the area that even hinted at having tech jobs. Specifically ones with Linux/Unix.
I wrote targeted resumes for those companies. Anything that I did (and I did almost everything) I detailed in that resume.
1 week later I had a new job offer. $45k starting 50 k after the first 6 months. With benefits. Not great but I took it.
Why?
8 minutes to work on a good day. My worst day is when I get more than 5 phone calls. Noone ever tells me that I have to do it and like it.
Try it
I am completely amazed by Linus. I have been reading the Kernel list for a few days now and I realize just how incredible he is. He seems to take this approach that he is a figurehead. At times he seems like he knows this and sometimes does not want to be. But for the most part seems to revel in that he is the figurehead of Linux. I wish I had some of the really simple things but in this particular instance he was talking about how he has to choose the route of being completely open. All kernel-sec issues are completely open to the public and there is no secrecy. He then goes on to describing how vendor-security lists are completely closed and noone releases information until it is fixed or it actually goes public by a third party. He descibes a middle of the road where there is a closed-open list I still don't get it.) And that since it's a comprimise noone wins but it meets both people needs. Anyway I highly advise subscribing to kernel mailing lists and just filter everything except for Linus and maybe Alan Cox, and Morton. I am sure everybody on the lists are just as important but there really aren't enough hours in the day to follow the whole thing.
This sig is my vote for Linus to be nominated for a nobel prize.
I started reading books seriously at the age of 8 with Piers Anthony's series of Xanth. While at the time and over the years I have thought that the books are a bit girlie and kind of children oriented, I always thought that a good game inspired by Xanth would be pretty good.

Anway, I'm not that intrigued by Card. His books are well ehhhhhh.
I don't think so. Looking at the photo in different GIMP layers, I think it probably is a comet. It might be that one, Comet Machholz. Who knows. I'm certainly not going to look for it. The reason is because from right to left it seems to get lighter, much like a comet. I'm not saying that it completely is that, but if you magnify it a few times you see that.
Than again who knows? Comet, UFO, killer tomatoes.
Let me preface this in saying I am a Debian user. I got positively moist when I first used apt-get. So....

As we all know, the Marketing will only allow for you to get the latest and greatest features by upgrading to latest and greatest version of M$ Windows. By then 2000 will probably EOL.
It's all about the marketing. On that note, where's the Open Source Marketing department. We are severly lacking in that department. Well that and marketing execs are a bunch soul sucking ticks on the bottom side of humanity. But that's a whole nother rant.
At what point will marketing take over. At what point will the marketing droids figure out what will make every consumer buy exactly what they want them to. The best way I can see it is, marketing will eventually be able to figure out exactly how to make someone buy a product, and so will the rest of the companies. We will be forced by the marketing to buy a product and be happy with it, even though it serves no purpose and we don't really need it. At what point will this stop. People will be thown into jail due to debt because they went to often to the store to buy things they don't need. It will not be their fault but it will be blamed on them.
Or has this day already come? And every product just needs to find it's niche in the way it is marketed. People buy and buy and buy. Whether at the suppermarket or at the local department store. Half the crap I buy I never use but it sounded good that the time. I don't have crap for money yet still I buy.
Egads!!!!
I was thinking that this sounded almost like William Gibson's Book/Movie (yes I know it wasn't the book). Take a photo of some random event at my pc. Or maybe a screenshot from a channel.
Just grab a few pixels from the screenshot at a variety of locations and base a random number on the color of the pixel and Bob's your uncle. You have random numbers based on a random event.
I think it would work.
Go Gibson.

Well folks, I just moved across the country and let me say how much there was nothing on the subject. Roadtrips are Roadtrips, but they weren't much help ass far as moving. I found very little on the net about someone moving across country. No tips, nothing like that. I just arrived about 4 days ago and am still putting the finishing touches on my "Move across America." I did bring a laptop but no wireless access. To be honest just having a dialup acount would have been great. But does anyone know if the Love's Truckstops across our great nation have wireless access? Anyway the laptop was fairly useful.

I did bring a laptop but no wireless access. To be honest just having a dialup acount would have been great. But does anyone know if the Love's Truckstops across our great nation have wireless access? Anyway the laptop was fairly useful.
