HAve you ever heard of Road Runner Cable? you know, AOL/Time Warner. The only internet options in places you would assume would have much more, such as the campus area around OSU. Columbus, OH, no New York or anything but still a fairly large city, with nearly 60,000 college students, but yet, in lots of places you can only get road runner cable modem access. I don't know how or why, but I would assume, that smaller companies, find it very expensive to get bandwidth in that area.
And bitch about AOL/Time Warner, well tell me if you'd bitch about this. My friend doesn't use pop3 email. She uses webmail, like hotmail, like a lot of people that are college students and therefor aren't in the same house or with the same ISP for long. So they keep webmail. Anyhow, she apparently recieved one of the numerous viruses going around that use your computer as a spam host, and because roadrunner cables email server is an open relay to anyone on their network(meaning no authentication on outgoing mail, other than ensuring it's one of their IPs.) her computer spammed people from their server. For this they shut off her internet connection and told her to fix the problem because the next time they get complaints they trace back to her they will cancel her service.
She is no computer guru, and I had to drive a couple hours to clean up her system and install a router with NAT and a firewall.
While I was talking to their customer service I asked them if they could just block her IP on their mail server, because I wouldn't be able to drive down there for a week. And they said it would take too much work and it isn't their responsibility. So she had to leave her computer off for days, waiting for me to come down.
Maybe I am wrong, but I don't think they should punish users for things that effected the whole internet and that are hard enough to get rid of that it even takes us IT guys a couple hours to repair a damaged system.
If Real didn't have to put through all the illegal conduct that MS put them through
Please give an example of this. Also, tell me why windows should be held responsible for the finances of real player. No offence but their product sucks, and whenever I see something encoded in real audio or real video I cry because i know the video quality is going to look like shit, and it is going to somehow occupy 100% of my processor to run.
anyone ever notice this, you can be playing something entirely low bandwidth from Real Player and it sucks up system resources like candy?
they do, if you do custom setup. Maybe you didn't notice this, or maybe you know, and are just hoping the linux fanboys will hop on board, and ignore something your all well aware of. That you can simply just unclick the check box next to windows media player during install.
I don't have this problem at all. I think your lieing. I use winamp for MP3, and i use BSplayer for Divx and Xvid. I changed *.avi to BSplayer a long time ago and MP3 to winamp, have since had to upgrade to XP1, didn't change, did numerous security updates, didn't change. I think your doing something wrong.
Of course they are installing their own. For two reasons. They own it, hence forth licensing is easy. And two they want their OS to be able to support a large amount of media without the user having to install anything else. It suppord mpeg 1, mp3, wav, and can support other things as well, if you want to download the codecs.
Linux doesn't come with Windows Media Player, or winamp, why should windows come with other people's shit. This doesn't make any sense. I think Europe is just ass backwards and hates the large American company. Windows should just screw them over and stop selling in Europe and offer no more licenses to Europeans, and then go on a lawsuit frenzy against anyone that continues to run windows over there.
It's ok if you hate Microsoft but telling them their not allowed to enhance their products is retarded, if you get a AC delco stereo in a GM car(AC delco used to be owned by GM, maybe still is) you can't take GM to court because they didn't package their car with a aiwa stereo.
Also, windows makes no attempt to not allow you to install real player, or quick time, so i don't see how their in the wrong.
that's funny, because I was just paraphrasing howstuffworks, lol,

Ummm...so what's the big difference between this and a Krupps. in yours you have coffee in a filter, that you pour hot water through. Last time I checked, that's what my coffee pot does as well, The difference is your filter hangs like a net and is in a stupid wooden stand, where as my filter is inside my coffee pot.
So is the difference simply that your coffee doesn't get to spend is much time in the beans as my coffee does, because yours can just flow out all over the place?
If you drink your coffee black and ussually in the morning after a hang over, you simply make it with Maxwell House in your own pot, and avoid the whining yuppies in the coffee houses all together.
and you'll get maxwell house, made by drip. You could have saved yourself a drive and went to the grocery store and made it at home.
by the way, I go to an engineering school, and pay about 22,000$ a year for an education that requires me to be up 20 hours of the day to get my 4 point, so go screw yourself if you think coffee isn't as needed for me as it is for some trucker that can pull off the road and sleep eight hours whenever he feels like it.
Nope your way off, actually caffeine constricts blood vessels in the brain. And in most people, lowers their heart rate while increasing blood pressure. The accelerated feeling is apparently caused by caffiene attaching to receptors in replacement to adenosine that normally would have calmed the body. Also, the constricting of the blood vessels makes the brain feel their is something wrong, results in the pituitary gland's stimulating the adrenal glands to release adrenaline into your body.
I don't know what's more sad, that you said the picard formula, or that I knew exactly what would come after it. There is nothing worse than seeing a trekkie nerd and then realising it's you.
Your brain produces a chemical called adenosine. When adenosine binds to the adenosine receptors in your brain, it causes all the activity to slow down and it makes you tired. Caffeine has a structure that is very similar to adenosine, so it binds to the adenosine receptors instead. This causes two things. (1) The activity in your cells does not decrease; it increases. (2) The blood vessels in your brain constrict.
Your body sees all this increased activity, and it thinks that it's in danger. So the pituitary gland sends messages to the adrenaline gland to produce adrenaline. The adrenaline causes your heart rate to increase and your liver to release more sugar into your bloodstream so that you have more energy.
In addition to increasing energy, caffeine has a few other functions as well. Caffeine also acts as a diuretic for many people. It is also an appetite suppressant. As long as you consume a moderate amount of caffeine, the positive effects of caffeine outweigh the negative effects.
One Websites Opinion on Caffeine
The habitual consumption of caffeine leads to the development of tolerance to the drug's cardiovascular and neuroendocrine effects. The extent of any potential pathogenic consequences of caffeine/stress interactions should be directly related to caffeine and stress exposure, but if daily consumption of the drug leads to tolerance to its effects, the negative effects on health attributable to caffeine should be minimal.
no soda? I don't drink soda either, I drink pop. Anyhow, nothing like sitting at the boardroom table talking to my boss, and saying, sir, could you please pass the tea pot, it seems my cup has grown empty again.
Not gonna happen, I work in an office where coffee is strong, and black, and if you add sugar we all know your the new guy.(and god help you if you ask where the creamer is)
I just saw a movie(Hidalgo) and it has enspired me to try something, make a pot of coffee so thick you can toss a horse shoe in and it will stand up straight.
Well, anything that might also look bad to the linux community, because much of linux, and solaris security tend to share the same form and function, although the code is much different.
But if you said, Solaris, had a High Security risk, with something as serious as root priveledges, it may very well start to destroy the security supremousy that the slashdotters often claim, Solaris, Unix, Linux, OSX all have over Windows.
And this is Slashdot, we stand by linux even if the ships sinking, because to fix the ship is to say it was broke in the first place.
That's what happens when you slashdot a server. The links go down. or it takes six years to retrieve a post, why don't you guy set up a slashdot mirror that people can upload to, so that the first guy can download the file, upload it to a server pool, and then post the link from a slashdotlink.com domain or something. I am sure their are lots of nerds on this site willing to mirror the upload site, and just use DNS to point to multiple systems, and whenever one is down it will go to the other one, proxypass in apache could do this, as well as other programs.
Linux doesn't have any security problems. Or at least that's what they always tell me when I am patching my XP, AMD machine. Build a Linux, Intel machine and you'll never have a problem.
So this is impossible. Nothing can happen to Linux, certainly, not a ROOT security exploit.
I refuse to believe, this is Slashdot, where Linux reigns supreme and the all powerful gods of modding, will mod you down for even suggesting a linux box has a vulnerability.
If all the machine does is make sure that your IRIS, matches the Iris on your card you hand them, than isn't still going to be fakeable, because the control element is based on the idea that your passport is right about what that persons Iris is supposed to be?
I submit this idea, does it even matter? How many terrorist acts are commited by people who snuck, 9-11 was commited by people who came into the US legally
Your a dolt. Children are a requirement for the future of a country. Even if you don't have children, by being a citizen you have a responsibility to the good of the country. And the better educated a populace is, the more likely the country will continue to do economically well.
You don't get a tax break for children you get a tax break for dependants, this means that a significant amount of your money is being spent on another person. IF you don't like how the tax is, the other option would be to allow you to right off money spent on supporting this other person. Dependants are only qualified as such if you are directly responsible for the well being. Parent or guardian, wife or husband. This is a good idea, and trust me, their tax break does not come close to the actualy cost of a dependant.
not to beat a dead horse, but you had parents jack ass and you benefited from this in the respect that your parents had more money to spend on you, so you could come here educated and bitch about you paying taxes.
and that public schools shit you just said, that was dumb, parents also pay the ten dollars, because in most school districts public schools are paid for with a property tax, and their are no dependant breaks on property tax.
Country
Sorry. BUt that is the hierarchy. Self never even comes into it. There is a reason for this. and don't ever comare the most elite fighting force in the world with the South American Military. Anyhow, this is no way to spend my leave. I'm off to PT, I suggest you get up and do the same, might clear your mind of its idiocy
Now your mocking the Marines. That sounds like a dangerous habit to have. Oh well, nothing to be done about the people that only complain about their country and don't serve it. I said be prepared to die for your country. I didn't say you should want to. The point is, unit, corps, country, then yourself, that's how your importance levels should go.
And us soldiers wouldn't have it any other way. Rattling sabers is how this country was built, and how we keep it free. Throw away the millitary, stop showing millitary power and watch just how long it takes before your suddenly under a different power. A life lost in a war is not a waste. At least they died fighting for their country no matter where they are fighting or who they are fighting, they are fighting for their country.
and if your a soldier, not willing to die for your country, your not a very good soldier.
Also, I siad 8000 lives, because it was 2000 dead and 6000 injured, that amounts up to 8000 lives ruined or screwed up by a weak act performed by weak people. Soldiers fighting soldiers is one thing, a few people attacking civilians is another, especially when war had not been declared.
Also in the Marines we understand were paid to be soldiers and shouldn't bitch when were sent off to do our jobs and our families, must understand that as well, we didn't recieve all this training just so we can sit around and not fight.
If you believe in total pacifism, I believe France has open doors for your kind.But if you believe in the honor of battle, the strength of will, and can understand that their are times to fight. We have open arms for you.
States don't have their own millitary, all of defense is funded by the federal government. This is a perfectly fair comparison. States chose to fund their own schools, against the wishes of the federal government. Hence why the two numbers are comparable, the fed has to pick up the full bill for defense and states pick up most of education, still all our government.
and for you liberals out there, most advancements paid for with a millitary budget, go on to advance society as a whole. You certainly wouldn't have our nice satellites if it wasn't for defense spending on Rocket propulsion systems, and dry fuel research. Remember even NASA gets defense help. For instance, our best and brightest pilots, that cost millions to train, in fuel, aircraft, and instructor time.
So stop badgering the millitary, before Caesar brings his army across the Tiber, and into the City.
