Links? Links please? This sounds like a total exageration or downright anti-communist propaganda. Are you sure your source wasn't the onion.com? This is something that if true I would be very interested in.
True. Some author (Arthur C Clark?) wrote about the 3 stages of a race.
I do not know if he is the one to come up with it or if he borrowed the idea from someone else but I do remember reading about the stages a race goes through in the book HYPERSPACE by Michio Kaku.
what we need is a sheriff; one that will honor the privacy and uphold the security of each honorable individual; but with the right to gun down the outlaws
I would never support such a thing. An internet "sheriff" would end up under the thumb of people like the RIAA, FBI and MPAA. The internet sheriff would probably more resemble the 1990's era LAPD than the good guy on the white horse.
We don't need MORE AUTHORITY, what we need is LESS AUTHORITY.
Anarchy is lawlessness and disorder as a result of governmental failure
Actually, anarchist's generally look at anarchism as being more of a form of stateless communism. Many anarchists are pacifists who despise violence. Check out the following link for more info:
You can use XP and have a vast library of games, or you can use Linux, and get a few titles, but none of the big ones (like Warcraft 3, Championship Manager, the biggest selling game in Europe).
Or you can buy a Playstation2 and kick back on your couch with a controller while your best friend has a controller and you play the new Contra game on your flat screen TV. Plus you never have to worry about upgrading the video card in your PS2 or reinstalling games because that ASM prog you wrote killed your hard drive.
O.K. I am a little drunk this saturday night so I cannot think of all the reasons to switch to a console (be it: GameCube, PS2 or even the accursed console whose name shall not be spoken (X-Box)) but trust me that no one I know who has bought a console has regretted it. Linux on your PC and a PS2 in front of your T.V., there is no better combination.
You can get them for VERY cheap on eBay. I remember a few months ago almost buying an original NES with something like 60 games for $150.00. That is a lot less than a third of the price.
Damn. You had me going there for a minute with Chinese apartment stores. I was thinking of some dirty little six mat in China with an alleyway entrance, peeling Chinese flyers and posters all over the walls and neon Chinese signs flickering on and off. With dirty Chinese guys in torn black trench coats with fiberoptic and RJ-45 jacks in the back of their necks, sneaking into one of these "apartment stores" and buying pirated software and illegal bioware enhancements. But then you had to ruin it all with your little apartment=department correction.
If you are having DB or other problems "multiple nigths in a row" you are doing something wrong. Learn to do your job.
Just maybe the problems are not caused by him? Where I work I spend the vast majority of my time fixing problems caused by other people. For many of us that is what our job consists of.
If you let your employer call you at home when he feels like it, without compensation high enough that it's worth it to you and your girlfriend, you are doing something wrong.
Actually in this job market many of us are happy to have any job at all and are not in the position to look for a better job if our current one sucks.
What makes you think that so few sysadmins have girlfriends ? This is a bullshit clichee. Infact I can think of only one co-worker who has no girlfriend, and for him it's more 'cos he tends to be a little unstable and have different ones...
Sure SysAdmins (and other brands of geeks) have girlfriends, but in my experience geeks without girlfriends are a hell of a lot more common than "normal" guys without girlfriends.
If you don't want to be disturbed at nigth, pull out the phone. How hard is that ? Employer doesn't accept it ? In that case he should be *paying* you for being "always accessible".
Like I just said, many of us have to take whatever job we can in this job market. For some of us being on call 24/7 is part of that job. And the only option might be to quit and go work at Burger King which really isn't an option at all.
Why would this be any harder to fool than it is to fool an antivirus scanner with a polymorphic virus? What I am saying is that there are some really smart people out there who would find ways around things like this just like people find ways around firewalls and intrusion detection systems. Everything can be exploited, nothing is 100% secure.
Or more specifically big ass robotic battle mechs bristling with cluster rockets and mini-guns, piloted by pink haired sexy eighteen year old future hentai stars...Hell yeah...Nobody does that better than the Japanese.
I agree that mainstream media has in many ways conquered much of the web (not all of it) but I think that to say that blogging is some kind of a reaction to this is just plain wrong.
The vast majority of blogs that I have read are completely banal and insipid. They may not be funded by MTV or Warner Bros but they share the same kind of empty headed mundanity so well epitomized by the kind of sugar coated garbage seen on MTV. It's the Triumph of the Swill.
Exactly, for the longest time I kept hearing things like; "The job market and the economy should both start picking up within a few months."
But from what I've seen it hasn't happened.

QUESTION:
Ok, I have to know, what did you do to get on his foes list? I'm just curious.
ANSWER:

this didn't deserve to be modded down. i think that he is more or less correct
Who's modding him down, he posted as an AC. AC's post at 0.

What are some of the 'other' newest hacker 'tools' out there
Newest Hacker Tools

Anarchism is not about chaos.
You can get a Gamecube for $139 (half of a day's salary)
Half a days salary for who? Certainly not me!
I figure that I make about $12.00 a day BEFORE taxes.

I predict that six years from now we will all be downloading hacked BIOS images to flash our computers with to disable this technology.
There is something deeply, deeply wrong with spanking it to the rape of a crap-covered 13 year old schoolgirl buy a ninja octopus demon
Um, exactly which hentai flick is it that you are talking about? I am wanting to check it out for... research purposes.
That's about 80% of all viruses EVER, simply because of the fact VB existed.
Yes but those were created intentionaly, I am thinking more along the lines of code being insecure by accident.
could explain all the [...]exploit ridden software though.
Umm no. I would say that at least 80% (probably more) of the exploit ridden software out there is written in C.
Buffer overflows anyone?
Shit. Name me a couple of programs that were written in VB that are exploitable because the language used was VB.
Would you rather live in a country where you can vote for President, or one where the Party appoints a puppet master?
I think that the party appointing a puppet master is a pretty apt description of the way the two party system works in the good old USA.
One word: MECHA
Or more specifically big ass robotic battle mechs bristling with cluster rockets and mini-guns, piloted by pink haired sexy eighteen year old future hentai stars...Hell yeah...Nobody does that better than the Japanese.
Exactly, a single Dragon CPU may be slow so I'll just pick up a MoBo capable of handling quad processors, I'm sure Linux can handle that.
If it is the only DRM-free chip made then my guess is that most of the Slashdot crew will end up running them.
After all the People's Republic of China is still ruled by a totalitarian regime.
And King George the second, ruler of Pax Americana Is just so much fscking better.
the question remains, why switch if it's just the same thing?
Like I have said before. You switch because Linux is free.
Because Linux is free and Windows cost money?
