I never specified inbound or outbound, but since UDP is stateless, specifically allowing inbound packets may be required, depending on the router. Ditto for NTP (different protocol, same problem, port 123 though).
I was simply making the point that none of the ports the parent to my original comment specified had anything to do with DNS.
That would be horrifically stupid -- don't EVER enable incoming TCP ports like those unless you know what you're doing. Outbound ports are you connecting out, but inbound ports allow anyone on the internet to try and connect to you on those ports, none of which relate to DNS lookups -- that would be port 53 (UDP and/or rarely TCP).
Last I checked, Viacom should have no legal right to see my viewing habits on Youtube since I'm Canadian and by doing business in Canada, Google will have violated many privacy laws by revealing this information about my fellow citizens.
What you said. Same deal -- the Genarlow Wilson case obviously wasn't enough of a wake-up call in the USA about how draconian its sex laws are.
Here's a clue to those not paying attention -- two highschool kids having sex are criminals in most of the USA (unless they both failed a lot of grades).
Should sex with children be illegal? Yes. Should consensual sex between 17 yr olds be illegal? How about 16? Why is there a big line drawn at 18, 19 or 21 (in some states) way above the 50th percentile of sex activity in America?
(35% of kids have had sex by 13 in America, if you don't like it, laws against it won't help, try talking to your kids about sex before they have a kid instead).
Being a user of Xen myself on small server sites, I prefer to name servers somewhat randomly and give them additional A records for their functionality.
That is, Legalas.test.local and Intranet.test.local may both resolve to the same IP, but I can move Intranet to another server and still know what the name is of the specific box that was previously the fileserver.
My way, regular clients connect to the common names, whereas technical staff connect to hardware names. CNAMEs are also appropriate under some circumstances.
There's nothing like a good construction or other basic blue collar job to keep regular pay cheques coming in. I keep telling people I know that are in college this, but they're sure studying computers will get them further.
When Palm was at the height of its handheld achievements (before the whole market went down the tubes for a while), it sure did hold a candle to Apple. Apple was desperate by that point. We're talking before iTunes, before the iMac and before the vast majority of people you knew had a smart phone.
I don't really understand the view that because someone succeeded they must be smart. This isn't necessarily true at all. Success is often a matter of luck or timing that had nothing to do with skill.
For example, Apple didn't succeed with their Newton handheld but Palm computing did with their Pilot. Most people agree its a case of market timing, even though the Newton was unarguably a more powerful device all-round.
Whether Mark stole an idea or not should be argued on its own merits, whether he succeeded in the resulting application of that theft or not.
People (with money) steal ideas all the time and then hire people to implement it for them leaving true inventors empty handed. Ask the inventor of the Yo-yo how his patent fights against big companies have been for example.
No matter what you were told in school, market forces are NOT fair. They may determine several things, but determining who DESERVES credit or compensation is not one of them.
If we didn't allow these types of locks, we could end up with a future of phones like PCs -- where you could install any OS you like on any device you like that will support it, and use it on any combination of networks you like.
Can you imagine buying a cell phone with the OS of your choice and having a non-contract arrangement with two different providers for network access, telling your phone which to prefer and having it use Skype when you're near open Wifi instead?
Considering this is the only game I stopped playing before paying the first monthly fee -- it was fun, and had a nice concept but just required WAY too much boring grind and mundane quests.
That feature already exists on the PS3 at least. Unfortunately its not per-user, but system-wide so it goes basically unused in my home.
That is to say, if I set the console not to launch games designed for people over 13 yrs old, and I go to the game listing, I get a bunch of unknown game icons and can't identify which game to launch (and then enter the password to bypass parental locking).
The fact that someone is or is not religious does not in most cases then associate the inviting them to speak at an event with their beliefs.
Sure, inviting a pastor or the pope or whatever might deserve reference to their religious stature, ditto for leaders of evangelical movements like Focus on the Family perhaps.
This however is a governor and the only thing we should really be focusing on is whether there is any merit in him speaking at this event from a knowledge or position standpoint and since he's a governor, what his politics are may come into that, but not his religion.
You know what's bad business? Criticizing people solely because they are religious in an invalid context -- it makes you look like a bigot. Rather, it makes you a bigot.
To be fair, the Bush administration has not been pushing Christianity down peoples' throats, it has been pushing policy down peoples' throats under the guise of Christian values.
Very little of what Bush has done that people dislike has any actual root in Christian beliefs.
The HD magazine in question is installed as a 'game' on the hard drive of the PS3 and is purchased and installed through the PSN Store via the PS3. The content _may_ be viewable elsewhere (such as on a PSP or via memory stick transfer) but there's no mention of such capabilities in their blog on the issue.
Because there was no other reason for them to otherwise make special note of the religious nature of attendees.
I've never noticed if my doctor is or is not religious, nor my daughter's crossing guard. I don't know if her teacher is at school either.
The very fact that they cared enough to call attention to this highly irrelevant detail makes them seem anti-christian at the least, if not completely anti-religion.
And for those who dare claim religion is somehow relevant, I'd love to know how you believe a Christian governor is a less qualified speaker at such an event than a non-Christian governor would be. Obviously when framed in that context, it isn't relevant at all.
The fact that this person has nothing to do with the industry is relevant, their knowledge of computing is relevant, but their religious beliefs are completely irrelevant and did not bear mentioning.

I think the point was modularity in libraries, not in functionality.
Kparts / OLE / Active-X are all the same game, but "#include <windows.h>" was awful, and so is linking against KDE.

You mean "I'm sorry crappy Windows user, uninstall and use Linux then come back" right?
I see no reason to punish Windows users or AVG users. If their software is putting a burden on your webserver, block the requests, or just limit them.
I stopped reading after the first two sentences -- did nobody teach you about paragraphs? Seriously.
Jeez that was awful.

Or is he really starting a reality TV show with all the hidden cameras in his house and belongings that will begin the week after he moves out?
But the MS geeks can erase their social insurance data :-)
It worked so well for Sun that Microsoft just trampled them with their own entirely new language and SDK instead.
I'm pretty sure licensing Java would be cheaper than inventing C# and the .NET runtime, but Microsoft doesn't like being dependant on others at all.

Americans have a hard time believing they're not the center of the economic universe in all areas at all times. You'll get past it.
