He displays no intelligent(sic) whatsoever and only sucks up to whatever actors or actresses he has on
Oh, that's exactly why I enjoy watching him...I find it hilarious to see Lipton saying things like "your performance in That Famous Movie was absolutely awe-inspiring" while ignoring true interviewing opportunities, such as when Jack Lemmon admitted to having been an alcoholic at the same time he portrayed one. Lipton just stared blankly at him, and changed the subject after the ackward silence.
Could be worse...he could have made the whole interview about that, and then advertise it as "Jack Lemmon tells his deep, darkest secrets"
The original picture before the "enhancement" looks more like a spacecraft to me. It looks like the original, constitution class, Enterprise, in orbit! The enhanced picture is obviously fake...it looks like flying saucers seen in TV shows.
Is this an undocumented time travel occurance where Kirk and crew visits 2001??
"Will Bell Canada make money with these Wi-Fi hotspots? It's hard to guess, especially if this service is offered for free, as it is the case up to the end March."
And I now have to pay $50/month for cable? I'm moving to Canada, at least until the end of March. Which also causes me to add a question to the list of things I need to make sure an apartment has when I'm renting one..."Does the water work? Is it near a pay phone?"
Any why, oh why, would you EVER need more than 640kb?
I believe that was the justification for the dos conventional memory limit that haunted me for years...I'm going to tell you right now, if I'm ever haunted by a similar limit regarding hard drive space, I'll blame YOU!:)
"The risk was highest at the agency's department dealing with volcanic activity, which lacked proper firewalls such as data encryption and password-protected access."
Oh wow...data encryption and password-protected access are proper firewalls...the one I have must not be doing anything then! I can go ahead and shut it off, and just leave my access password to protect my system, and not have to deal with the headaches of hosting games through my current "improper" one.
I don't know much about the subject, but isn't this the method used to convert speech to text? Sounds to me like it's the only way to do it...comparison of a sequence of phonemes to another, except that the each word in the dictionary is associated with a sequence of phonemes. And that's why you're required to "train" the software with your own voice/accent.
Somebody who knows about the subject, please post and explain the process.
They're increasing the amount of leechers, telling people how to disable uploading with their software, and not downloading.
Now all those pleading messages in p2p networks will have to be changed...from "please share what you download" to "please share what you download, and don't give us **** about your ISP not allowing it...just change to a better one"
Fish are native to north america...so that's why Mick Dundee used dynamite to fish in New York...he never saw anybody do it in Australia, all you had in the water were the darn crocodiles.
Nah, it can't be Linux. Nobody else at Starfleet knows how to make other androids, Soong didn't make the software open-source.
Or, maybe...nobody wants to actually look at the code...you see, if Data's code is GPL'd, and they modify it to build others, they'd have to release the new source to the Romulans, Cardassians, etc...
Damnit...I was modded down for that comment, and I will be again for responding to this question...oh well, I don't really care about karma, just voicing my opinion and trying to help.:)
My problem wasn't the conclusion they reached, whether it was Linux/Windows/Palm OS. It was a problem with the data they used to reach the conclusion. I offered an alternate explanation that is just as viable to prove the point that people shouldn't be flocking away from Unix worried that they're going to get hacked into because they just finished reading that it was less secure than windows.
If that study was indeed supposed to find the level of security of operating systems compared to others, it was badly designed. I'd put more weight if they were measuring actual security issues that were exploited, for example.
Although this is really off-topic, and it's obviously flame-bait (therefore posted anonymously), I somehow still feel that I need to respond...to help guide anybody who reads this and takes it seriously.
According to this article, the Aberdeen Group has reached the conclusion that Linux is the most unsecure OS on the basis that there are more security advisories in Linux than in the other operating systems.
I can draw a completely different conclusion from the same data. Linux is the most secure OS exactly because there are so many security advisories. With so many people looking at the source code for open-source software, these people will find security issues before they become a problem. The advisories are then sent, and talented people proceed to fix the problem.
The article then goes on to say that the argument that open-source vulnerabilities are fixed quickly "means little" because they need more testing before they're released to customers. The strength of the system is that those customers will do a lot more testing and fixing of bugs themselves than any proprietary distribution could hope for. If a customer is unwilling to test new software, they can always choose older, tried and true versions.
Please remember that security advisories, i.e. finding the security vulnerabilities is a good thing. It's a much worse problem to have those vulnerabilities and only find out about them after they are exploited.
People will have different opinions about any subject, I agree with you, of course. The intrusion occurs exactly when these opinions aren't respected. The sender of spam, who believes spam is alright, is sending those e-mails to many of those who believe it is not. When you know a person, you're able to gauge whether or not something will anger them. I've read your posts, and your replies respect others' opinions, so let me ask you this: Would you still feel fine about sending those "would you like to buy a lawnmower" e-mails to your friend, if you *knew* he didn't like to receive this type of communication?
I don't know about the man in question, but in many cases the "reply here if you don't want to receive more spam" actually generates more spam when they have confirmation that somebody does indeed check their mail.
I don't have a problem when I go to register in a website and they give me a choice, in the form of a checkbox, "would you like to receive information about our products?" They asked how I felt about it before sending me those e-mails. They respected *my* opinion.
I don't know about you, but if I started receiving e-mails from "friends of friends" trying to sell me stuff...I'd have a serious talk with all my friends that are giving away my e-mail address to people I don't know.
If I know someone who wants to sell something, I'll pass the request to my other friends myself...and I won't just send an e-mail to all the friends on my list either...I'll send it only to those that I believe would have some interest in the product...for one reason or another. That's in the interest of helping both my friends, not just the seller. One needs to get rid of it, the other needs (or at least I think he/she does) to aquire one. If I don't think about this, I'm spamming, whether it's directed to a friend or not.

Ack, anyone can throw fire at each other (why you'd want to, I don't know). I want to see them do Mortal Kombat-like fatalities :)
I can use use especially programmed paper as scratch paper on my next math exam...
Just need to figure out a way to make the "your answer is wrong" warning a quiet one.
