Umm... that's what MOST distross do any more. Seriously, check it out. Do a default install of say, Ubuntu, and you have one app for any "function". Firefox for Web, Evolution for email, etc. Last time I installed Fedora Core, it was the same way. The people modding you up (and you) obviously have no clue about what is really installed in a system. And you don't even need GCC and the full GNU toolchain for these distros if you enable the non-free repositories, because they have binary packages of the most common 3rd party software (NVidia and ATI drivers at the forefront of that).
You know, it's quite obvious that you got a D- in English. They may be 'successful', but they are now holding the bank account details of MANY Americans, along with all kinds of other interesting data.
I wouldn't want someone who was stupid enough to get a D- in security to be guarding any of MY data, just like I wouldn't want you writing anything that represented me. Your psychiatrist told you how to be happy, but I've seen many idiots smiling all the way up to the end.
Why should it be in two separate places, though? Even if it is multiple lines, there's no good reason for configurations relating to the same thing being found in two different files.
I like to imagine the sky as a deep iridescent purple. Can I have a flying swine too, while we're imagining things?:) Yeah, I know, it's totally OT. I just had to get it out of my system.
The kangaroos are storing the energy on coming down, and releasing most of it coming back up. A human doesn't have the same kind of mechanical advantage, and relies on muscle power to do the up and down motion. Therefore, it's more efficient for a human to keep vertical motion to a minimum so that the majority of the energy can be devoted to forward locomotion. The achilles tendon does help with humans, but it's not to the same extent as in kangaroos. Besides, if you watch a kangaroo when it's just moving at a good clip across open ground, their bodies and centers of mass actually don't move vertically very much, it's just their legs.
You were using too much of your energy to push up, rather than forward. Your feet may leave the ground, the trick is to not have to let most of your weight change height too much in any given stride (up too high, you have to catch it on the way down. Down too low, gotta push it back up). Saves lots of energy.
All that means is that you have more ethics than the vast majority of people;) I've seen too many people just say "Hey boss, I need this security training so I can be a better employee!", when what they really want is just a paid vacation. I've even been in the position of teaching those kinds of people. Pain in the rear.
I had mandatory athletics at my engineering university (minimum 4 semesters, or participate in a varsity sport). What really baffled me was I was C-team/JV level in high school, but everyone wanted me on their team in college.
I thought it was a good thing for everyone, but it really opened my eyes to how badly out of shape people were elsewhere. I guess I'm just used to how Colorado normally is, with the lowest obesity rate by far of any state in the US.
Running is boring as hell. I like doing it when playing frisbee or something, but running for the sake of running? My brain spins around on stuff, and I end up overanalyzing things and causing myself problems.
Please, stop running away... I'm not THAT crazy... come back...
They'll either a) not be skilled/intelligent enough to be considered a hacker by most/.ers and thus it doesn't really matter whether they can regurgitate ethics if they can't even portscan effectively, or they'll b) ignore what the teacher says as they choose. If they teacher has information they want, then they'll listen. If it's preaching (ethics is usually a form of preaching), then they'll ignore it as they see fit.
But that's just my view of the hacker mentality. But what do I know, I only get paid to solve problems with computers.
Naah. Microsoft is gonna burn because of their own greed coupled with their own incompetence. But then again, they have so much cash they're sitting on, they aren't going to do much but smolder for a while, and then finally figure out how to use a fire extinguisher.
If someone has the intelligence and skill to be able to hack effectively, it's very unlikely that they'll be terribly influenced by a "teacher" that they more than likely don't respect.
Solar Power is not a panacea. It uses a lot of toxic chemicals in it's manufacture, and it's really not terribly efficient, it requires much more infrastructure to support when the sun isn't out (batteries, etc.) all of which are also highly toxic, and in much larger volumes than any radioactive material that may come out of a nuclear reactor, assuming they don't re-use it in a breeder style reactor (as another poster said).
You might also note that Coal power is now a major source of electricity, and ANYTHING has to be better than that. It fills the atmosphere with pollutants, and has more radioactive emissions than any nuclear plant.
It'd do you good to educate yourself before saying "OH NOES RADIATION NIMBY!".
Spain -- Land Area: 499,542 km Population: 40,341,462
United States of America -- Area: 9,631,418 km Population: 295,734,134
That's only a land area factor of, oh, 19. Yes, the US is 19X the size of Spain, but with only 7X the population. Things are nowhere near as close to one another as they are in Europe. It's not ideal, but that's the way things are in the US. You just about have to drive to get to where you need to go in anywhere less than a day, unless you happen to be right on a bus route that goes very near where you're going. But most bus routes to where I need to go would take multiple transfers, many stops, and be at least 3 or 4 times as long.
Gas is cheap and subsidized here for a reason... we need it to get where we're going. When you can walk across the street to get your groceries, it's not so bad. But the nearest market to my house is over a mile away, and I'm not lugging a couple week's worth of food over a mile. And that's just food.
I'm not excusing waste. I drive a more efficient car, I try to drive as little as possible, walk where I can, take public transport when i can (they're on strike now... that really sucks). But Europeans seldom seem to understand the actual SCALE of the United States. It's big. Bigger than most anything you've experienced. 3 hours is not a long drive in a car. 24 hours is getting there.
Agnostics are just people that are too afraid to draw a conclusion from what they see and believe. Choose atheism, buddhism, shintoism, Christianity, Judaism... whatever. Just don't be a pansy and sit on the fence.
Hell, with the access to the information that these computers will provide them, maybed Intel IS going to be helping stop the polio vaccine fears and the fears of genetically modified foods.
Sure it's easy. Just make those sites and drive traffic to them. What, you expected that it was the people going to those URL's that made the money? Silly rabbit.
Investing in the company you work for isn't a bad thing. That's what owners often do. The problem is when you don't have diverse investments, and they're all tied up on one rickety ship.
First off, the word is spelled 'priorities.' Idiot.
But then again, Clinton ALSO lied to the American (it's capitalized. Idiot.) public about his affairs, and the Whitewater scandal. But he's an angel.
Fuck both major parties, especially their "leadership". And get your head out of your ass.
Hell, it wasn't even Sony's rootkit, either. A Sony suit probably just bought the product the company pitched that'd make their music secure, and said "engineer, make this work" and then proceeded to either ignore or just be totally unaware that the software he ordered caused the problems that it did.

The trunk's going to be cooler than the greenhouse of the inside of your car.
I'd love to bet, but that's only because I enjoy losing.
then put your own encrypted filesystem within their encrypted filesystem. Everyone's a winner ;)

It's called a 'junket' but not in the government sense, in the business sense.
