Dude, I was hating on that idiot who's afraid of our right to keep and bear arms. Stereotyping gun owners, you know? I'm from Wyoming and we're partial to a 22-250 and a Dodge Cummins turbo diesel 4wd with a low speed rear end.
Never have understood why a 5lb laptop kickes some people's asses. Of course I just watched some Marine get back from Iraq on crutches with 60 lb packs so maybe I'm a bit short on sympathy for those complaining about "more than 3 pounds"
Have been seeing these on my public Linux boxes for 6 months. Trivial to stop. Just allow only unique user names, enforce good passwords, etc...

Wrong, wrong, wrong. He doesn't want to fill any niche except the secure, Open Source, stable OS niche which he has filled. Trying to fill the gnu/linux niche? Do you know ANYTHING about what you're talking about? Christ, take a look at OpenBSD before you comment. Take a look at the project goal. Install it. Read a man page. Try out Package Filter (PF). OpenBSD *just* works. OpenBSD talks the talk and walks the walk--see the results the small OpenBSD group produced over wireless documentation.
I run both OpenBSD and Linux, and they both have their places in my network but Linux seems so haphazard and hacked together after using OpenBSD it's not funny. With OpenBSD, there clear and concise man pages that are human-readable. The install guide on the OpenBSD.org is written so that anyone can install and configure OpenBSD without any help at all.
Theo is a bit outspoken but he's never lied. He's not jealous of Linux, he's just so idealistic he doens't understand why people run something so hacked together and why people put up with a lack of clean code and central planning.
But actually this is pretty cool. I'm just imagining an XServer on an Intel monster...and all of the Wintel fanboys who crow about the processor speed of their latest Fry's homebrewed beast. Now one more reason not to switch to a Mac has bit the dust. Can't wait to get a Mactel box and dual boot Linux on it. Schweet.
Whatever. That was a real insightful comment. Here's your answer. Download and install a *BSD or Linux iso. Burn. Reboot and install and stop bitching.
This guy is infuriating. Not one word about the blatant unprofessional attack on PJ. Nothing about posting her address/phoen number on the Internet. he just sits there and implies that someone is directing "attacks."
I think he's directing these columns. I think Maureen O'Gara directed a extremely personal attack. But Maureen's victim doesn't have deep pockets. No sympathy from Rob for you, PJ!
Enderle still thinks the virus attacks against SCO were orchestrated by the Linux "mafia" or what have you. Not to mention this crap about poor little Microsoft: "its supporters often appear as an endangered species during a government-approved hunting season. "
Not one comment about how people are leaving Microsoft for...just pulling an example out of thin air here but setting up an Exchange server. First you need to buy the Exchange media. Then the licenses to connect to it. Then the Outlook licenses to take full advantage of the proprietary features.

LAPD testified against the.50 Barrett rifle using it as a prop. The level of "expertise" from the officers testifying was pathetic as evidenced below. Personally I believe the cop is not an expert, is just a normal guy, and may have been influenced by various gov't/industry figures.
Regrettably, the same material has been presented to your city council. I personally attended the council meeting in Los Angeles regarding attempts to bar ownership of the.50 caliber rifle in your city. I was allowed to briefly address the council. The tone of the discussion was mostly emotionally based, so the facts that I attempted to provide were ineffective to the extent they were heard at all. The council voted to have the city attorney draft an ordinance to ban the.50, and further, to instruct the city's representatives in Sacramento and in Washington D.C. to push for bans at their respective levels.
At that council meeting, I was very surprised to see an LAPD officer seated front and center with a Barrett 82A1.50 cal rifle. It was the centerpiece of the discussion. As you know, there have been no crimes committed with these rifles, and most importantly, current California law does not allow the sale of the M82AI in the state because of its detachable magazine and features that make it an "assault weapon." This rifle was being deceptively used by your department. The officer portrayed it as a sample of a currently available.50 cal rifle, available for sale to the civilians of Los Angeles. One councilman even questioned how this rifle was available under current laws, but as I stated, facts were ineffective that day.
Your officer, speaking for the LAPD, endorsed the banning of this rifle and its ammunition. Then he used the rifle for photo ops with the Councilmen each of whom, in handling the firearm, may have been committing a felony. I was amazed.
Since 1968, with the closing of the U.S. Springfield Amory, all of the small arms produced for the various government agencies are from the private sector. Every handgun, rifle or shotgun that law enforcement needs comes from this firearms industry. Unless the City of Los Angeles has plans of setting up its own firearms manufacturing, it may need to guard the manufacturing sources it has now.
When I returned to my office from Los Angeles, I found an example of our need for mutual cooperation. Your department had sent one of your 82A1 rifles in to us for service. All of my knowledge in the use of my rifle in the field of law enforcement had been turned upside down by witnessing how your department used yours. Not to protect and serve, but for deception, photo opportunities, and to further an ill-conceived effort that may result in the use of LA taxpayer monies to wage losing political battles in Washington against civil liberties regarding gun ownership.
Please excuse my slow response on the repair service of the rifle. I am battling to what service I am repairing the rifle for. I will not sell, nor service, my rifles to those seeking to infringe upon the Constitution and the crystal clear rights it affords individuals to own firearms.
I implore you to investigate the facts of the.50, to consider the liberties of the law-abiding people and our mutual coexistence, and to change your department's position on this issue

Ahh bush, desert. Yes, we have none of that here in the US. Don't blather on to me about your firearms ownership, your country is one step away from banning them completely along with butter knives.
By the way, thanks for helping us out and doing what we ordered in Iraq. Really appreciate that. Guess Howard works for Bush.
Show me one incident of a machine in a crime out here. If you were invaded, what would defend yourselves with? You're in danger of becoming a Nanny State like the UK.
Sure they wouldn't. Especially your citizens that are so scared of knives and swords that they're banning them after banning guns didn't do anything for your rapidly rising crime rate.
Search for Urim and Thummim. Those are the names of the spectacles. You might also be interested in "No Man Knows MY History" by Fawn M Brodie. It's an biography of Joseph Smith.

I do not judge Mormons based on their beliefs but truth be told I have a hard time believing any religion. The Mormon church is of interest to me because I'm from the West and some of the statements in the BOok of Mormon are so fantastic (do not take offense, just my opinion!) such as the "history" of the lost tribes of Israel here in the US.
But it's a faith and therefore faith based and no Mormon has ever done wrong to me.

Well put. Almost exactly verbatim from the mouths of most people who want to ban guns. Like the use of the stereotype "all gun owners own 4WDs." Nice.
Apparently you've never run a Proliant. Nice servers.
I call BS. Apple is not highly dependant on Office and they're already planning to replace it-see the Exchange support in Mail.
