The ammendment against quartering soldiers in peacetime only seems unimportant because its there... if it weren't there, it might be more important. (that sounds convoluted, but i think its fairly easy to understand)
I was thinking start at the bottom, get local issues fixed, then we can work up to the presidency.
If you want to learn how to run a unix box, you don't start with a (large) corporation's mail server, you start playing with your own box at home... same thing would make sense with politics... start at the bottom and work up
OSDN should just start a political party (maybe with some kick ass music, the established political parties usually aren't fun) and find candidates to run for local elections... Given the choice between an idiot and an idiot who reads/. i'd vote for the/.er

sniffing packets is not terribly effective if everything is encrypted
not to mention that on my system (debian 2.3, linux 2.4) if i attempt to run tcpdump as a normal user, it says 'tcpdump: socket: Operation not permitted' (i tried both promiscious and non-promiscious modes)
Sure they can do it, hell they can do anything they want, of course it may not be legal....
but since its not going outside their corporate boundries in the first incarnation, i doubt it would have any legal problems....
perhaps there will be legal problems if/when they open it up to outsiders, but i wouldn't be able to do anything but speculate if they were in america, and they're not so i have absolutely no idea of the legalities
the public high school i went to (one of the ones listed on www.ggusd.k12.ca.us) was essentially a joke. I had two classes in my three years that made me think. Two years into it, i took the California High School Proficiency Exam and passed, then got them to shorten my sentance to three years instead of four. However, the junior college i went to (one of those listed at www.cccd.edu) was definately a step above. (2 years later...) At the start of this quarter i transfered to a 4-year school. (i'm not giving you a url, but its in wisconsin) So far it has been at about the same level, but i have to make up some General Ed classes i missed.
Some of the differences between college and high school that contribute to a much better educational experience in college are:
Teachers assume you learned what you should have from the classes you had to take before the current one.
Pace: what takes a full year of 1 hour a day, 5 days a week instruction in high school, takes 3 hours a week at 18-weeks (junior college) or 10-weeks (4-year).
Students have an investment in the college, and therefore more ability to do something about instructors who are truly not good educators.
Yeah, i remember hearing something about that a long time ago and was hoping that somebody on here would make mention of it so i knew i wasn't out of my mind
i don't think win2k is architecturally neutral....
else why would it not support anything but x86 at release when nt 4 supports at least mips, x86, alpha and ppc, and up till the later stages in the win2k release process it ran on alphas.
if it was for home/yourowneducation use, then i'd say what the hell violate the liscense, but since its for business use, its (in my mind) much more important to follow the rules

at a former employeer we replaced a firewall appliance w/ a linux box in one of those cute mini cases (not rackmountable though) and set up ipac to gather stats every so often, and another box to periodically get those and graph them.... it mysteriously stopped working since i last checked, but it was working fine before hand, i probably screwed up something or other.
win2k is well behaved compared to other m$ oses....
you can run it for a very long time without rebooting.... but some things may magically stop working (i run win2k on my school issued laptop, its not horrible, or i'd have switched to debian, but its not perfect either)
if correctly setup, NT would make it possible to setup a user with access to very little on the system, and you could run napster as that user (win2k lets you shift+rightclick on something and run as a different user for most things, shortcuts to programs included)
Which isn't to say there aren't problems. One problem on the internet at present is the loss of the messages to open connections for web pages. There is apparently no protocol to check that they make it through- if they don't make it, you just have to retry. For web pages this means the users have to press the reload button, and it messes up caching.
hmmm you mean something where each bit of data is given a sequence number and sends acks back and forth and resends data that is not acked? oh wait thats what transfer control protocol is!

Good luck, stay sane

Probably, but why add more confusion into the kernel?
with the exchange rate... $1 mill after taxes US is probably on par with $1 mill CDN
or something

actually....
the ones with growing jackpots can get to a point where they are not rigged in the house's favor... of course until they get there......

good thing i read the posts

debian is no longer hard to install
:)
(assuming a decent inet connection) make two floppy disks, use your brain to answer questions and boom
unless using your brain is too hard
seriously though, the potato install is massively
nicer than previous installs

ooooh two pcs in 2U sounds like a very cool idea
:)
depending on how much power they ate, you could possibly run them off of one power supply (or off a single redundant power supply system)
that'd be neat
it wasn't moderated down

if it were moderated down, it'd be at -1

i'm sure anything using toc can use ssl, probably oscar too
the only thing is, if both sides of the conversation aren't using ssl, its not very effective....
also if you're worried about major powers doing evil stuff, they could still do evil stuff at aol hq
thats probably to migrate gtesuperpages over, its just a phone book online thing
