A timid bespectacled accountant gets framed for embezzlement, and sent to the jail house.
On his first day he has to share a cell with a 300lb bald headed bubba.
The giant moves manacingly towards the accountant..
"I wanna play mammas and pappas, who do YOU want to be , mummy or daddy"
Deciding which fate was worse, the accountant mumbles , "I.. I'll be daddy".
The giant laughs, "Well come on over here, and suck mummy's d!$%$£#.. [carrier lost]
In the UK I thought you can legally call yourself anything you want, even without Deed Poll?. Unless it was for an official legally binding document (Passport, Birth Certificate, Bank Accounts etc).
New, old, mainstream, underground; it was a real free-for-all type of broadcast, largely formula free and totally unpredictable.
Hmm as someone who was into Jazz-Funk, Good Disco (Brothers Johnson/Slave/The Jacksons/McFadden Whitehead) not to mention the early electro (not hip-hop) , there was nothing there for me. It was definitely uncool.
Some may argue Michael Jackson's Billie Jean that was the start of the Demise, but I think the problem lies with the people that chose what acts get signed more than the acts themselves.
Seriously? Is your network infrastructure -that- unreliable that its actually worth *doubling* your costs for redundancy?
I agree. Running a business from home is one thing but the OP is concerned about torrents failing over at night. Is it worth the cost of another ISP on the off chance that your torrents stop in the night.
Look at the yearly cost of the ISP and weigh that against the importance of failover in your situation.
I had cable+ADSL for over a year. I work from home and twice it has saved my bacon. But was it worth paying 25 GBP a month extra for?.. nope.
Just cancelled last month.
If I get an outage now I could always postpone, or go to an internet cafe if something was that important.
Perhaps not commercial applications, yet, but many open source and freely distributed applications do. Case in point: uTorrent. I'm fairly sure "wine" was IBM's official stance on a Linux Lotus Notes client (albeit briefly)
I think I read somewhere that R3 are not going to sue but want to shame them into some kind of settlement.
In the meantime, I'm sure they got plenty of advertising and exposure out of it!
Who knows maybe even $profit once they compare losses against exposure and any increase new subscrptions. (repeat revenue)
I think the point is that 'legal immigrants' can have their status questioned or revoked on certain technicalities. I'm sure "having terrorist sympathies against Queen & Country" etc, counts.
The chap is being fasttracked out of the country.
Or any minor infringement is now cause enough.
> lowered the internal memory to lessen the effectiveness of third party flashing
My understanding is the motivation was primarily cost. VxWorks runs on less hardware, and presumable the amount saved my reduced flash is greater than the per seat license cost for VxWorks?
>It's unfortunate that they felt like crippling a perfectly useful router just because free firmware made it competitive with their high end products.
Due to popular demand its back as the WRT54GL
Also at least we get out once in a while what with 71% of us having passports compared with 27% in some other places. (Granted one of those places is VERY big and has enough variety to negate the need to travel outside that much)
Also they dont want Modders keeping the drivers working against new OSs working when they would rather consumers use the oppertunity to buy new hardware..Cough.. Creative/Vista.. Cough.
For a hacker it would still be hard to do anything on a Linux/BSD/Unix box without root/admin privileges - maybe stealing info is the worst (via accounts that do not need special privileges to view/access files). Destroy or corrupt all of the users data.
By that reasoning, there should be a proportional amount of viruses/worms/trojans for Linux and OS X. If 5% of desktop computers are Unix (OS X is Unix) or Linux , then 5% of the viruses should affect Unix or Linux.
I dont think you can extrapolate ratios like that. Hijacking a computer is an oppertunist/path of least resistance activity. Thieves dont break into unsecure and secure houses with an even statistica spread. They look for the easy target.
Slashdot Mirror
But it has SP2 (look at picture).
All working fine here. And better than Mandrake days. Any specifics?
Mammas and the Pappas

That may have changed with the War On Terror?
I suppose I could have wiki'ed it to look all smart 'n' stuff..
30 minutes or 6 hours? Will it need rotating or is it a transparent keyboard :)
Australia is relatively isolated with a limited population of first world consumers.
Public Enemy are Australian?

Darn, domain is taken.
I vote for Xandros + Linspire = Xanspire. Or maybe Lindros, but I think that may give people a concussion.

Pulling out and splashing on her face? This is almost standard in porn, but in RL ?
Forgot to add, they have since done a native port. Not that the world needs another version of Lotus Notes in a hurry.
Dont tell the Gnome developers that :)

Hey no fair , you switched from "Christian Bible" to "New Testament" (puts concordance back on shelf)

The US really needed to move to HD faster because NTSC is nasty.
If it got through a user action wont it have that users privs? And most hacks these days seem to originate from users clicking a link etc?
