It's actually pretty easy. There is a program that is called RevRDist that copies the contents of a master to each computer on the network.
The various schools I've been to in the last 10 years have had that on thier Macs, and my college hash PCRDist for their pcs labs. Good software, works well. Everytime the comp reboots it gets a fresh replacement for changed stuff from the master.
This reminds me of when pets.com sued Conan O'Brien and NBC for Triumph the comic insult dog. I wish I could run around sueing to cover up my failures.
For some reason, that sounds like bullshit to me. If the US gov't was so against DeBeers, then how come they let their diamonds be imported on a regular basis? And this is to a market they control 85% of in America.
I don't recall there being anything that says an ISP has to accept email from someone. It seems more like the accepted business idea of reserving the right to refuse service to anyone.
The product took about twice as long as expected. All that software engineering theory just didn't apply in the real world. Build environments, makefiles, message files, and all that stuff you use in the real world were foreign concepts
I can't imagine what school of software engineering thought he was from. In my BS program, if you didn't know unix development, you'd drown like a rat. Most of the U professors I know are nazis about style, readability and development tools.
When I read stories such as this, I really start to wonder what type of dumbfucks run IBM. By closing the hardware support for the 970, they've bascially prevented their chip from becoming a player in these massively parallel computing environments.
Who wants to buy 3000 IBM or Apple branded boxes when you can get 64-bit Opterons with whatever box maker you want? Doesn't that make a lot more sense to the bottom line? The most annoying part is I am sure you are bound to using IBM service contracts as part of the deal.
What's even worse is at the Bellevue Art Fair (an anual outdoor event near Seattle) they use ATMs that are connected through the cellular network and only use 32-bit encryption.
I can understand Congress being bought out by various copyright holders, but I was amazed to find that courts going in favor of the DMCA. How this couldn't be viewed as a major violation of privacy and in fact condones corporate vigilantism is beyond me.
When that piece of shit law finally hits the Supreme Court, I really hope they step up to the plate and show the world what Checks and Balanaces really means.
You're absolutely correct. If you remember the Siberian asteriod impact 100 years ago, it actually came in at an angle (as indicated by tree burn patters) and caused a lot more damage that way.
This particular event, which was compared to a multi-megaton nuclear weapon was actually pretty lightweight. The actual asteriod/meteorite never hit the ground intact, it disintegrated in the atmosphere. Now image how much damage would have been caused if it was large enough to remain intact!
I don't really dig X-men Evolution. Its well drawn and all, but the few times I tried to watch it, I couldn't get into it. Maybe I grew up and nostalgia is the only explaination for the appeal of those old tapes.
I think the real issue is how horrible cartoons have become. Back when I was a kid, we had shows like the Adventures of Batman, X-men, EXO squad, and stuff like that.
Today's cartoons are too bizarre and uncool. Spounge Bob Sqaure Pants? Give me a fucking break! I would have never watched anything like that, and I watched Doug for crying out loud.
Its like the decine in Star Trek. Cartoons and TV are afraid to have any sort of heat on them anymore. Kirk and Riker were total womanizers. Archer and Trip are pussies. Wonder why ratings decline? Same reason why kids don't watch these "healthy" cartoons -- they're boring.
The good thing about this (if there is one) is that it is not a law. Yet. It says in the article that many providers are still insuring that they can recieve products without this feature so that they will not the legally required to enable it.
The bad thing is that some parts of the internet infrastructure, especially in other countries, are owned by goverments. This will lead to the governments having more oversight without making a official requests.
Imagine those communites in America that were so greatful that their municipal government stepped up and provided them with subsidized fiber access. Will they be so greatful when systems like these get employed so local law enforcement gets to observe them?
Makes me feel like when Verizon turned my records over to the RIAA.

There is another path: teach people the value of software freedom.
Are you sure you don't mean preach?
American Business' views towards customers: don't like it? Fuck off and move along. No-one is sticking a gun to your head to use aol.

time consider shooting up one of the back street boys
I think just about everyone has considered shooting a backstreet boy

Doesn't the US Military subsidize one of the variants of BSD? That would definitely count.
A million people don't use the same library book at the same time though.
I can't wait to grab that off Kazaa and share with my friends!!
There is really no excuse not to be already using it.
And you call his post bullshit? I've got absolutely no reason to use IP6, but plenty of little green reasons why not.
What's even worse is at the Bellevue Art Fair (an anual outdoor event near Seattle) they use ATMs that are connected through the cellular network and only use 32-bit encryption.
Its sad, but on the other hand, its just like a buddy of mine says:
You don't make any money off of free.
I think AOL/TW would need about a 100,000 Rabis praying simultaneously to raise their sinkhole of a stock now!
Buying a appellite judge, may be possible, but buying a Supreme Court justice may not be. Especially buying a majority of the 9.

Well, this book isn't sci-fi, but it made a facinating read.
Trainspotting by Irving Welch.
I just picked up the sequel, Porno today, and I can't wait for school to let up so I can get into it.
And in response to such alarming news, shares of Novell [NVOL] rose an impressive 3.00% to a whopping 3.09

I think this could be a first.... slashdotting a satellite reciver.
