Why do you always have to compare yourself to the very worst the planet has to offer?
Uhm...you think Belgium is the very worst the planet has to offer?
What do you suggest? Should I compare items with little discernable difference like traveling between Arizona and Nevada versus moving between Alberta and BC Canada? Nothing much to see. It's when you push your freedom that you see the difference.
Wow. You need to get out of your mom's basement and travel to some foreign countries. How is your freedom of Press in places like Russia and Venzuela? How is your freedom of Religion in places like Belgium where they try label Amish, Quakers, Buddhists, Hasidic Judaism, and large mainstream groups of Christians as cults? Try starting a protest in Burma. How about living in Saudi Arabia as a woman? Sure the media tries to demonize the US every chance it gets. We're still the only country in the world where people by the thousands risk their lives every day to break into. Get a clue.
My friend upgraded from 10.4.10 to 10.4.11 and now has all sorts of problems. At first the fonts went screwy. He describes them as looking half sized in some places and many are missing. Then his dock disappeared and he lost the ability to double-click icons to run programs. Safari also seldom chooses to start. Occassionally it will but he hasn't figured out the pattern. I'm going over to his house tomorrow to try to help him. He already tried to "fix permissions" with the disk utility. I don't know much about macs so any pointers of where to look would be gladly accepted. Does the patch have any sort of rollback mechanism to get him back to 10.4.10? I fear that we're looking at a reinstall.
Theres nothing like slapping a dozen fisheye lenses to a moving vehicle and building a movie out of it. My city just got google street view enabled. I was wondering how they got exact pics of where I was on the map. Now that I see it runs at 30 frames/sec I know how they captured so much data!
I would say that is exactly the wrong thing to do. First, you have to know that your little donation can't compare to Verizon, Qwest, ATT, etc. Second, in a few days Dodd will announce his concerns have been met. What concerns you may ask? Check for a large donation from the aforementioned telco companies or their proxies. This sort of "fundraising" happens almost every time. People just don't pay attention.
Slashdot and linux.com are owned by the same company. Joe Barr submitted the slashdot article and also wrote the rebuttal blog. He can look smart and double the ad revenue all in one story.
It makes perfect sense. Since the ACLU types tried to slow down the wiretaps, the FBI had plenty of free cycles to go after leakers of secret programs.
I don't know about the UK laws but when T-mobile essentially says that they won't route calls to other service providers with lower prices than their own it is total bullshit.
Since they're likening themselves to an airplane, does this mean they will expect users to take off their shoes, empty their pockets, etc. and go through a metal detector and X-ray search before using their Open XML format? Inquiring minds want to know...
If you choose MSOOXML there will definately be a rubber glove in your future.
Hell no. Have you read what this system does? It reads (and presumably records) every license plate number driving on city roads. I think the risks here are too obvious for me to have to detail.
Yeah...next thing you know the government will be creating a department of motor vehicles to house this database.
Actually, if someone has to be compared to George W. Bush it really is Nicolas Sarkozy. France is now as polarized as the US was after the Bush 2004 victory.
Let's see here, the conservative wins 53% and the country is polarized but if the socialist were to win with 53% there would be unity and the French version of kum-ba-ya. That is disgusting. I guess in your view that the socialists have to redouble their efforts of "educating" the public.
You know Miguel, I was thinking the same thing. Software names on linux are not obscure enough. Picking a name that can't even be written in latin characters would be the pinnacle of l337ness. Faddadaw' will conquer the market for sure.
If privacy advocates are concerned about public records becoming more easily accessible, they should get laws passed that limit the collection of such data by the government. It seems like Google gets the criticism because their search engine is too good at doing what it is designed to do.
I've been avoiding anything stamped blackberry because I've heard they don't work well with linux -- both sync client software and postfix/cyrus-imap servers. Is this still the case? The blackberry pearl looks like it might be a neat device but there doesn't seem to be much information about them online.
I'd be interested in hearing both success and horror stories.

Was this spanish language course taught by Miguel de Icaza?

I read the title and immediately thought of this VA IT meltdown.
Which will happen first?
The end of digital restrictions or the dominance of GNU HURD?

Freedom has its price.
It's consistently full of lies, distortions and propaganda.
By that standard so is Slashdot.

How good of an idea is it to hire a guy named Windows as the top security chief?
Now you can see the blurred out parts in HD.
Must be a really slow news day to bring back this ancient argument.

Maybe Stallman will sing it.
I think the greater threat to liberty are the people who want to outlaw taking photographs in public.
As an amateur photographer, it scares me to think I will eventually need to be licensed to carry my Nikon if these "privacy" nazis get their way.

I think he'd be better qualified to speak on why BMC loves MSIE.
