Al Queda attackes have occured, on average, every 18 months since Gulf War I. This includes attacks on other countries such as the one recently in Australia.
Senate Resolution 301: Censure of Senator Joseph McCarthy (1954)
On December 2, 1954, the Senate voted to censure Senator Joseph McCarthy, who had led the fight in Congress to root out suspected Communists from the Federal Government. The censure described his behavior as "contrary to senatorial traditions."
Doesn't it make more sense for them to have as many testers as possible on pre-release builds? This way they find potential issues missed through the undoubtedly small QA team on the project.
A method and system for allocating display space on web page. In one embodiment, the display space system receives multiple bids each indicating a bid amount and an advertisement. When a request is received to provide a web page that includes the display space, the display space system selects a bid based in part on the bid amount. The display space system then adds the advertisement of the selected bid to the web page.
This seems *very* similar to Google's system of advertising. The rest of the patent also seems to be like ad words.
It's an issue of value. Those who "steal" music (and that is debatable as to how many are outright thiefs and how many are out to "try-before-they-buy" the music) clearly believe that $18 a CD, which contains songs the listener is not interested in, is too high a price to pay. In the absence of any alternatives, theft is the only other option. Put true competition (of choice, price and flexibility) into the market and then those on Kazaa et al; can be called thieves.
For those paying for the comics, $10 is a fair price given that there are alternatives such as print, etc and this is simply another option. This may have problems in the long run because, for most, this is a lease agreement and not a purchase agreement the way a printed book is. Yes, you can save the images to disk but praticality for most users will rule the day.
The more small minded corporate shills and their bought and paid for politicians keep this up, the more weakened and desensitized people will become to words like terrorism and war. Soon, they will be hiring PR firms to craft new words to symbolize people worse than "terrorists" and armed conflict will no longer be called war but something else. The current administration would no doubt prefer "liberation". This is absolutely ridiculous. The rest of the world must think we are the biggest bunch of un-educated sheep.
I kind of liked the old fire breather... It's like they are trying to make themselves out to be more respectable to the masses or something.
Anyhow, I like change too so it works. Maybe someone is working on a new theme.
More importantly, you need to train ham (ie; non spam) as well as spam!
"Tools | Mark Selected Messages as *Not* Junk"
There have been a bunch of posts to the newsgroup and this has been the problem.
Unless you tell the filter what is spam *AND NOT* spam then it only has half of the information it needs to make a decision. It's a bimodal decision tree that is used to determine whether a message is spam or not. ie;
for each word {
the probability it is spam is x
and the probability it is ham is y
}
A calculation (Bayes) of those probabilities intersecting usually places the probability that any given message is spam either close to 1 (spam) or 0 (ham). What happens if you don't train ham is the probability of all messages will be around.5 and that is not enough to say anything definitively and defaults to delivery.
Actually, what happens if I am travelling and want to check a webcast since the local (to where I am) is really foreign??? They will check my CC and see it has a local (to the game) zip code yet I am traveling and have a foreign (to the game) IP?
Then as time so pass, more and more "features" are added into perl 5.004 and the result is that now you have too many features spoils the broth.
No, most of these "features" as you call them are not added into perl, they are added in as bundled modules. Perl's core is kept small for this very reason. As for Perl 6, that is going to be radically different but perl5 will be able to live on the same machine as perl 6 and I would imagine that a great deal of people will keep both around and maintain both for a great while.
Instead of getting usability "experts" together to moderate a supposed flamewar and make KDE and GNOME clones of each other and ultimately every other OS in existence, why don't they get these so called experts to suggest how these interfaces can be enhanced, in their own way, and *gasp* even contribute a few patches to the cause. Yeah, OSS has some pretty wretched interfaces but there is a great deal of innovation occuring as well and if someone with true experience in the realm of GUIs could harness and direct some of this innovation some amazing things could probably occur. The Mickeysoft way of doing things is not working for anyone over a 65 IQ and Apple is to artsy for many folks so there is a clear market to serve hear. I can even imagine many would think that KDE and GNOME *are* serving that market and with a little more time may really have some polished interfaces. Things *have* gotten better and they will continue to as time moves on. Development is an iterative process.

Actually, it won't get to that. They have apparently already taken down the logo and are referring to themselves as the "search engine briefly known as roogle".
Actually, the standards created by the Liberty Alliance could make a viable private option work so the Gov't does not need to get involved in the daily operational issues (No, I am not a privatization nut). The gov't only needs to be a consumer of those standards and decide to trust the authentication of any number of private partners in the aliance. Then, the citizen only needs to create an ID with any one of those competing partners.
Think Kerberos cross realm authentication. If school x enters into a agreement with school y that students from each school will be able to use network resources on the other campus, the easiest way to manage that is to set the KDC to allow cross realm authen (using a shared secret) and then set up ACLs to allow any UID from the other school access to those resources that are to be shared.
Imagine how many out there are already compromised

According to the article, Windows NT backdoors have always been 'trivial'...
And given this, I wonder how many windows machines are already compromised? I read this article a couple of days on bugtraq and they were speculating that with one known kit in existence, there are probably ten more they don't know about. They literally stumbled onto this one by accident.
Imagine these sleeping beauties (well beasts) all just waiting for the signal...

Yes, that is what I meant to write. Thank you for clarifying for me.

Without a doubt. Rummy was close buddy's with Saddam while he was in the Reagan and Bush I administrations.
That's Weapons of Mass Distraction...
The war is providing great cover for domestic changes like this. Another example

Yes, since it seems that it is actually the Windows Script engine (shared by IE, OE and the OS) that is the problem.

I see you don't read /. that much. This is the site where RTFM became RTFA.
That is assuming they still have jobs and were ever married...

I agree. How I work around it is to set moz to only autocomplete sites I have actually typed in. Works for my browsing style anyhow.

Bud didn't think of that, now did he...

It won't need a mirror. It is hosted by O'Reilly and they are hardly schlubbs with a beat up pentium 200 running RH 6.2 or a Vic 20...

I mirrored 1 meg of files from a /. article once and I got hit with 1GB of data transfer. There are 24Megs worth of video on that page...
