There are plenty of people here paying $130 / month for 3G mobile just to get a decent bandwidth / download connection coz they can't get ADSL. Telecoms / Internet pricing in this country sucks. All because of one dominant more or less monopoly Telco.
Some number of drug users AND non drug users lose control all the time and these drugs ARE illegal, so what the fuck is your point?
The whole point of my post which has been marked troll is pretty simple. Leave people the f*ck alone.
If someone idiot (my opinion) wants to do drugs, let 'em. The government shouldn't waste taxpayer money to fight this 'war'. People have the right to be free. Free to succeed or fail. People have the right to do drugs, or not do drugs.
But on the same note, the government shouldn't be restricting firearms--because when someone irresponsibly uses a drug, goes crazy, and tries to kill a family, that family better have a gun so they can defend themselves.
Copyright is specified in the Constitution. Drugs? Not so much. Why should drug prohibition require nothing more than a law when alcohol prohibition required a constitutional amendment? Oh, and the original excuses for banning drugs: black folks on cocaine or mexicans smoking marijuana might rape your white daughter.
Meh--easy solution to the 'problem'. Allow people to take personal responsibility and drug themselves to death if they want.
Allow every citizen (with no restrictions) to carry any amount of guns they want.
Then, in your scenario, if some coked-up druggie tried to rape your daughter, you can blow them away.
After a year or so spike in drug/gun related deaths, everything should settle down. The retards who use drugs and lose control and try to kill someone will be dead. The nutjobs who get ahold of guns will be dead (by the non-nutjobs with guns) and we can just continue on...
Or as a dope-smoker once put it to me: "keep on keepin' on"
I don't see a way to use robots.txt to limit the number of crawler hits per interval other than just denying it. So you can block it, but that's undesirable if you want people to find it. It's also undesirable to have a robot hit your site every two seconds if ShieldW0lf is saying the truth, but robots.txt only address it in a simplistic allow / disallow.
I'm not sure if any of the other providers implement this, but Google does. SiteMaps
Lets you specify how often to update certain content, what URLs to block. It's a more advanced robots.txt.
Maybe not... she might just keep a DNA sample and bring up rape charges later.
Hmm... makes me wonder how one would implement a MITM attack.
Ever hear that old joke about superman and wonderwoman?
Wonderwoman is sunbathing on the roof naked when superman flies over. He thinks to himself "I'm the fastest man in the world, I can get away with this."
He decides to go for it. He swoops down, and in a flash has sex with wonderwoman, then flies away
Wonderwoman sits up and says "What the hell was that?"
"I don't know" said the invisible man, "but boy does my ass hurt.
Don't think they're going to put Cuban in a women's prison. Anyway, Martha Stewart was not convicted of insider trading. She was convicted of lying to investigators.
My experience too -- most W.D. and Seagate drives fail either almost immediately, or after at least 5-6 years in servicem but almost never anywhere inbetween.
However, I've seen plenty of Maxtors that died after only a year or two in service, with absolutely NO warning.
I love Western Digital.
I've owned around 30 WD drives in my life. Only a few had to be RMA'd--always a problem at first power-on, or within a few minutes.
I have one old linux box that's been running for a few years now--smartmon says the drive power-on hours just hit 6.5 years. Woo WD!
And you don't have to type in a password every time you get a system update.
That's because you are either already logged in as an administrator, or you have wuauclt set to grant elevated privileges to normal users.
The linux equivalent would be adding a user to sudoers restricting them to update-manager, apt-get, yum, or whatever and passing it the NOPASSWD option.
Hey, never let verifiable facts get in the way of your beliefs.:P
If you're not using a machine, put it to sleep.
Ok. One of my clients has a network of 80 windows machines. While they usually get rebooted twice per week (average), they never get shut down. They always have power going to them--they each have their own UPS.
I've been managing them for 2 years now, and about a month ago we actually shut them down in prep for an extended power outage.
Several machines did not come back up. Power supplies needed to be replaced...one motherboard was fried.
So...can you tell me why the computers died? And for bonus points, can you tell without making reference to power supplies, or lack of power?
Never let a retard on slashdot claiming he has the facts get in the way of real-world experience.
Hm. In my experience dealing with Microsoft server solutions (which, admittedly, usually involve the word "SharePoint" somewhere), it has always been the "official" recommendation to use a dedicated database server.
Yeah--except that Microsoft offers a product (SBS 2003) that very specifically sets up all that crap on one box.
From what I've heard of Windows 2008 SBS (which my company still hasn't even started testing) it will let you split SBS into two servers.
Unless you're one of the poor sods living nearby who was hired to clean up the radioactive debris without anyone actually mentioning that the debris might be hazardous...
But... yeah. Coulda been worse.
I don't know about you, but if someone from the military asked me to go out into my back yard and help them clean up some debris, and I noticed the military guys were wearing chemical suits...well...I must just pack my bags and head to a friends house for the weekend.
Actually, fuck the bags, I'd just jump in the car and get the hell out of there.
My E62 on the other hand screams, "I'm trying to piss you off, come deal with me NOW!!!" If set to loudest volume I can hear the alerts and ringing through my pillow over my head 2 rooms away.
That shit will wake the dead, in the dead of night...
Plus you can buy the stupid base-station amplifier which will make you go deaf on the highest setting. It's also useful if you want to leave your pager at home, yet still know when there's a call from several states away. Plus the base station can turn on your lights for you...
Why do all paging providers have the shittiest websites in the world? Our local paging provider (Cook Paging) has a website that looks like it was designed with Front Page 0.1-PRE-ALPHA.
The DirectPage coverage maps are all completely broken and return 404s. WTF?
Stupid businesses being run by wireless engineers.
If you want to keep from fubar-ing your G1 by typing in the wrong stuff accidentally, just type "cat [enter]" first thing when you power on the device, and it will be defused from then on. All input will be harmlessly filed away to stdout.
Wait--you're missing the big picture.
Jailbreak the phone!
Woo! We now have root access! We can hax0r the phone and load our own custom applic...what? Oh. Shit. Wrong phone. I'll wait for the next iPhone article.
Slashdot Mirror
With blackjack and hookers?
In fact, forget blackjack and djb.
It'll be a single function call in the next Mathematica release :)
Hey--this is slashdot. You can't talk about proprietary software in here unless you are bashing it! Hand in your geek card.
Yes, the whole thing would have been FAR more accessible as a 40000 character perl regex.
Dumbass, go troll your anti-ms propaganda elsewhere :-(
Yeah, but it'd be like 5 lines in Python... ;)
And it gives a great alternative to Java.
I have a great alternative to being burned alive. It's being beaten to death with a baseball bat.

This is bull. I'll make an analogy for you with sex and condoms, since you suggested it, and it is a fairly apt analogy.
Using the internet with a secure browser is like having sex with a condom.
So spoofing is analogous to you having sex with your wife, and when you're done she reaches up and pulls of the 'wife mask' he was wearing.
Don't think they're going to put Cuban in a women's prison. Anyway, Martha Stewart was not convicted of insider trading. She was convicted of lying to investigators.
Don't assume Martha Stewart is a woman.
You cant compare theft to drug use.
Smart people do commit crimes ( morals have nothing to do with intelligence ). The dumb ones get caught and serve time.
Well crap. I'd mod you insightful, but I already posted...
The smart ones don't.
The smart ones don't do it in the first place.
That's like making a reference to people doing meth, and then referring to one of them as 'the smart one'.
And if he's too smart for that? Might just piss him off and he might release the names regardless of payment.
If i was the guy, i bet i worked alone and would call their bluff and laugh at them.
Doesn't matter. You'd eventually get caught.

That shit will wake the dead, in the dead of night...
Plus you can buy the stupid base-station amplifier which will make you go deaf on the highest setting. It's also useful if you want to leave your pager at home, yet still know when there's a call from several states away. Plus the base station can turn on your lights for you...

Still sells them. About $10 a month.

I use emacs on the iPhone, you insensitive clod!
PS: I'm not a very +1 Funny guy, but I consider myself +1 Insightfull [/karmawhore]
I just have to know...how do you do the butterfly key in emacs on your iphone..?
After having read this, I think I may switch back to Avast.
Really? After the gp said "It seems like AVG has gone massively downhill lately."?
You must be the guy the campaign sign makers target.
Vote for Kodos!
Hmm...that sign makes a good point. I think I'll switch my vote to Kodos!

You mean defused until you type Control-z, Control-d or Control-c, right?
Uuh...how often do you type those key combos into your phone??
