The grandparent said "we", which I took to mean Americans. As an American, my concerns focus on Americans. Giving habeus corpus to enemy combatants in no way gives Americans any increase in freedoms.
Just because you have problems after putting a dummy in charge does not mean you don't have much worse problems after replacing the dummy with a hate filled tyrannical traitor in charge. Obama is not a precondition for anything except an acceleration of a slide into ruin.
Uh, yeah, I do think so. It's nature, ya know? There used to be vineyards in Greenland. There are still vineyards, just not there. A glacier used to cover all of New England and half of Kansas. These areas now have a rich variety of natural and cultivated vegetation.
This is Chicken Little global warming horse shit. OK, if the climate warms up a few degrees, the latitudes where coffee is grown may conceivably shift north and south a bit. Big deal. You guys crack me up.
Because your own caching name server will still suck on the crappy comcast or other nameserver for its feed, it just caches the results. All the fundamental drawbacks are still there (terrible performance, hijacking lookup failures, etc). OK, the terrible performance is mitigated by your cache, but it's still hurting you on every cache miss.
Yeah, 1 out of 4 reviewers has given it 2 stars. Two others gave it 4 stars and the last gave it 5 stars. Seems like the consensus is that's it's a cool read.
I did one better than you. I went back to Gnome after trying KDE4. The garbage font rendering did it for me. Sheesh.
I still use a number of KDE programs under Gnome. Konsole is far better than gnome terminal. Kate is far superior to gnome editor. Klipper is better than glipper. Cervisia doesn't even have a counterpart. And so on.
Oh, fiddlesticks. Just change the way you look at it. There is no "linux" the way you want to use the term. There is Gnome on linux, and there is KDE on linux. You can walk a Gnome on linux user through changing desktop resolution if you are familiar with Gnome on linux. You can do the same for KDE on linux if you are familiar with KDE on linux. If you are ambitious, you can make yourself able to do both. And so on for Xfce, and a myriad of others. I wouldn't advise tring to become a "wizard" with all of them, but you can pick 1 or 2.
Anyway, your idea of Windows as a single entity in terms of support is not true. At the moment, even disregarding 2000, you have to remember largely different procedures for XP and Vista, and now 7 is going to be yet a third variant in wide use at the same time.
Saying linux can't compete because it's not in a straitjacket like Windows and MacOSX is missing the point of freedom.
Now if you're talking corporate support, you can just pick Gnome or KDE the same way virtually all corporate settings pick either XP or Vista.
Jeeze, if these guys are going to play with computers they should learn the lingo. The shell is, like, the Bourne shell or C shell or bash. Shell code is scripts.
Yeah, right, chief, they are idiots and you are real smart. Did you ever hear about a thing called lift to drag ratio? An enormous, extremely high aspect ratio wing has a lift to drag ratio that is out of sight. And power necessary to overcome parasitic drag is proportional to the cube of the speed. This thing flies at a hair over 20 mph near the surface and peaks at about 45 mph at high altitude where the lower air density cuts the drag.
Oh, and if you don't want clouds in the way you, like, fly over them, ya know?
Common ultralights are ridiculously inefficient, aerodynamically, because they don't NEED to be any better to perform their mission.
ICEs are generally 35-45% efficient in peak operation.
ICE's are generally most efficient at 60-80% of max hp at optimum rpm (less so at full or "peak" power, and less at lower power). Certainly 35-45% thermal efficiency at the highest efficiency operating point is achievable, but I don't think any available lightweight 0.75 hp ICE's come anywhere near that much. Maybe half; maybe less. Glow plug model airplane engines are fantastically inefficient; spark ignition somewhat better.
Oh, for heaven's sake. That attack is child's play to defeat. Use more than one level of nested encryption. Then they won't get past even the first level using your approach, because the output of the first level will NEVER "make sense."
Really what is the problem with this. These computers are being searched AFTER a judge issues a search warrant.
Yeah. Because if the fucking retards who run the legislature pass some outrageous bill against thought crime or victimless crime which gets signed into law by a President or Governor who is devious and pandering enough to be elected by a majority of the drooling morons who make up the voting citizenry, and then some prosecutor who has something against my politics and has the goods on some judge and gets a baseless warrant at three o'clock in the morning; then I must be guilty as Hell, right?
The real smart crooks encrypt their stuff in a way that nothing short of banging them over the head with a $5 pipe wrench will ever reveal.
I'm afraid that crushing the suspect's skull will almost instantly lead to unconsciousness and fairly rapid death through intracranial hemmorhage leading to the brain being destroyed due to swelling. Or maybe the brain injury will only make him a gibbering idiot. Either way, sorry, you're not going to retrieve the password this way. I think the CIA or foreign counterparts could help you with more ingenious solutions.
Anyway, no matter how many passwords you can "generate" per second, it takes a lot longer to try them out than to come up with the candidates. Any password security system worth a shit will incorporate gross slowdown mechanisms to deal with brute force attacks, and hopefully after a few thousand attempts it will permanently cease allowing further attempts.

You do realize that some of us know that you just saying "all the energy we need can come from solar and wind" doesn't make it true, right?
You so right. Good inglish gramer and speling is so much moar importent than talkin about hyoomen rites.
Alas, there are no Thomas Paines any more in the US, let alone in China.

Like the guy says, this is one broad variety of v-8. There are still a pantload of v-8's going to be produced in the US and by GM.

Guess where your caching DNS server gets its feed.
Because your own caching name server will still suck on the crappy comcast or other nameserver for its feed, it just caches the results.

I have one word for software which can be installed without root privelege:
