I don't have a problem with someone forming an opinion based on an article on a blog, but if a response to the article was done, then that should also be cited.
I think it falls into that funny "Fair and balanced coverage" slogan folks use...
For what it is worth, here is the response to the blog about the "EVIL" choicepoint:
Then you wouldn't even have to plug your own site on slashdot!:p
I'm surprised this passed as "news for nerds" and where are the "Tagged, your it" Tshirts
** BTW, the Tshirts are now (c) 2006 by Stephen Shimatzki ** Proceeds to benifit my little peanuts college fund, contact if your interested in using this copyrighted phrase on a tshirt...
I let my wallet speak for me when it comes to this crap...
I won't buy a philips product if it enforces viewing of ads...
Or anyone else's product of like features...
This is why I DO NOT have Tivo and do NOT watch much TV. Heck, Most of the time I still use my VCR to record any "MUST SEE TV" - (c)NBC And just FF through commercials... Unless it is one I WANT to see (heard from friends after souper bowle or some such reason.)
No, My computer is not an 8088 either, but yes, sometimes lowtech is the way...
oh, and of course there is the famous (Click) surf or (Click) off buttons.
If Phil & Co were smart they would make note of this... It's ashame that I already skip going to the movies because they force you to watch adds after purchasing a license to experience the content of the film in comfy seats with loud surround sound.
But then again, I don't think I've missed toooo many movies that were worth seeing anyways.:) Bleh!
It really seems your knocking Go-Daddy for no reason...
I've never had a problem with go-daddy not giving me my domains I request, unless it WAS already taken. And the ones I have, a few do have "Parked" pages, until I get my sites up. I don't understand your problem with this? If I wanted, I could put FOR-SALE pages, but thats not my intentions. besides, Go-Daddy could just be the register for the name, and the site hosted elsewhere... Some folks need time to figure it out, etc...
So in short... I'm saying don't knock a site unless you've tried them... Then give specific complaints, not BROAD sweeping complaints that have no basis.
> outlawed just before Nutrasweet was approved for public consumption in the 80s. I leave you to draw your own conclusions. More and better foods worldwide, huh? Yeah and Bush is the saviour of the world
Ummm... 1980's was Reagan.. But Bush SR. was VP... But I don't think either of these folks contributed to the food on our store shelfs during that period. So, just another excuse to bash G.W. for something he didn't contribute to at the time...
And as for the food... Shhh... If you speak up too much, then folks will just live longer and THEN we are really screwed... Let them have this hamburger coronary's... That actually means I may have something to look forward to after they all die.
"I leave you to draw your own conclusions" ok. done.
In an episode of "My name is Earl", he goes to give a talk at a class, and everyone types EVERY WORD he speaks, even when he asks "Are they gonna type everything I say?" the class types it... Finally he convinces them to put the laptops down and listen.
He forgot the part that the GAME MAGAZINES are part of the hype / marketing gig in and of themselves! Same with hardware review sites... (Tom's Hardware, etc..) They may or may not get compensated for doing a review, but without them there would be NO MARKETING for some products... How many times on slashdot has a "cool product" been mentioned, then point back the hardware hacking website... If it is truly great, why not banner ad it, like some select hardware is?
At least 4 or more years old... So it was recycled back into whatever bill this is about... but the programs / loopholes have been around for years... I remember reading about this the first term of G. And I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't around before then... It's not the party, it's not the person in office, it's politics in general.. EVERYONE has capacity for EVIL... So No, I'm not a troll against or for any particular group...
Besides, The Ori will straighten them all out soon enough... now wer'd I' put my ZET?
I remember seing a Discovery Health or some type of media show about a woman who had a brain anurism... Problem was that she'd bleed out if they tried to remove it.. So they killed her... by running her blood through a cooler system and brought her body down to hyperthermic temps (high 60's-f or low 70's-f I think...) it cooled her whole body down and she basically "died"... (experienceing the light tunnel, voices, visions, effects and such associated with brain death and attributed to NDE or Near Death Experiences.) Anyways... after death, about 15 minutes to operate on the brain anurism to remove and bridge it.... Then they warmed the blood while circulateing it and brought her back up to "regular" temps (98f?) and then Electro-shocked her heart to start it back up, and it did and she eventually recovered with no brain damage or any complications.
All this based on the idea of children that would fall under the ice in northern climates and would loose conscientiousness for 20 to 30 minutes under water with no oxygen while being searched for... a number of these "miricle" children were found after the extremem temps had put them in a hyperthermic (a real word?) coma they eventually would warm and be resesitated with little or no brain damage! It seems linked that the brains oxygen consumption could be slowed by the extreme temps, and not cause normal brain damage that would result from oxygen depervation for such an extended period of time...
Now... I can't remember WHERE I saw this, it had to have been a medical documentation show... NOT SCI-FI type crap... So I know it was actually used at least once before years ago... so the pigs vs. human trials may just be to get some type of FDA approvial for the methods and or procedures.
A COOL procedure if it really works. (Sorry, Pun intended...:)
The problem with starving artists is that someone will usually end up feeding them right before they are to expire... thus keeping this populance at a null growth trending group. Usually right after they get the munchies and go on the prowl for brownies...
What kind of "Air" I'll get... I'm thinking Dukes-of-Hazard stuff here... I want to be able to jump about 25ft in the air and 50 feet down the street... That way I don't have to stop at intersections, (at least the ones with the ramp power generator) I can just JUMP the intersection.
"WHAT Stop signs officer? I was 25 feet above them, they don't count anymore!"
At least that is what I want if they are gonna be stealing some of my speed from MY GAS and MY CAR for THEIR POWER!
I seem to remember a few years (1-2) ago, some student in Ohio or Michigan dumped mercury on the floor of his school (very small amount) from the Chem lab or something to cause a "Hazmat" response to get him and his friends a day out of school....
I remember reading it in the newspaper and laughing because the closed the whole school until the hazmat folks came in and cleaned it up... He may have been caught, can't remember that part... I do remember it made the Sunday "BLADE" (local paper here in Toledo.)
Keep you Dirty , Stinking hands off our internet! If you like our toy soo much that you want to take it home to your house, then go buy your own! Maybe then someday we can play together... Till then, keep away from our internet!
So, the rootkit installs when you put the CD in to play... But if you do one of either 2 things, you should be fine, right?
(A) disable Autorun
-OR-
(B) Use a NON-WINDOWS Operating system...
If I was Bill Gates, I'd be pissed and calling up Sony and threatning to send them up the bomb... Think of how many more people this will drive from windows to MACS.
(unless you missed the slashdot story the otherday, supposedly 1mil PC -> Mac converts according to Apple)
Personally, I have my VanZants song from Itunes, burned on CD then ripped into MP3, so no rootkit for me, but I guess that would require a denotion of (C)... But thats totally seperate rant at this point...;)
Sue their asses then buy another CD after the settlement gives you free vouchers for SONY/BMG CD's in 3 years!
We need to keep the USA in charge of the internet! If it was UN Controlled, the fight would have been a commitee in the UN deciding who has the right to say what... etc.. and I dare say, I DO NOT trust them to rule in the favor of US laws.
Build your own Friggin' Internet! Then we can disconnect you from ours, LEECHES! It was US RESEARCH and MONEY that funded the DARPA research that birthed the internet... Take a hike if you don't want to play by our rules!
Think of the spam that will be eliminated because we disconnect the internet from the rest of the world... No more zombie china computers relaying spam...
I'll believe it all when it happens... So far they've been late/wrong on everything else, I'm tired of futurists...
Of course, if your a Glen Beck fan, then your also in the know about the the "Future of the Future..." Where the everlasting gobstopper will not change it's taste or the time it takes to eat one thanks to advances in amazing technology in the future of, THE FUTURE!... )
I'll make one perdiction that will come true... You will die in the future... Better bet on it...
What, Just rule them out? They've been doing Active directory and groupware LONG before Microsoft decided to emulate (steal) the ideal...
Novell 6.5 is the latest, and I can lock out users based on windows policies, etc.. just like MS active dir... assign various sub admins to rule over their own dept, etc... AND Groupwise (IMHO) is a great email/calender app... (Groupwise 7 is supposed to be better, but I haven't gotten to play with it yet...)
AND they are starting to move everything over to Linux via SUSE Linux, so you have the OSS... Best of both worlds if you ask me...
Sure, Novell AND Microsoft cost $$$, you could build your own Linux server and hack it together, but if your a REAL company and you expect to play REAL Ball, you will PAY to have the propriatory software to compete with everyone else... At least with Novell, you can still play OSS and support linux, etc... even if you have to buy their version...
OSS Does not equal FREE... Thats the problem... too many freeloaders want EVERYTHING for FREE... If that was the case then your company would just give its product away also... oops, now your company is dead... Guess that model won't work.
I must admit, I do ADMIN a Novell network, and I do like SUSE Linux... Much better than anything MS has to offer...
Again, just my.02 worth... (climbing into Flame resistant suite)
