in a lot of ways they are a victim of their own success. after all the lobbying in the 80's greenpeace won most of their battles that they were going to win, so now they are in a position where they really should just go away, but won't ever be able to bring themselfs to do so.
people are waking up to them now, but they still have enough of an ignorant support base to keep them in stunt dollars for a while...
so those big warnings on every dvd i've ever rented that state copying this dvd is a federal office are lieing? fyi, i know slashdotters never RTFA but you take the cake for not even reading the summary - this doesn't work on small files like songs..
er, it IS private industry doing the research..... NASA is merely offering a prize that is frankly hellishly little money considering what they are asking.
because drug addicts don't just hurt themselfs, they hurt everyone around them. take a look at the reason for 1/2 the assults and robberies - drugs.
and the reason for tobacco and alcohol is unlike speed or ice, i have can gave a beer or a smoke without going off my fucking brain. totally different class of drugs sunshine....
this guy, after threatening to set the police officers involved on fire with a tin of petrol and a lighter, who refused repeated orders to drop the weapon, came at the officers who then tasered him. their only alternative would be to use their fire arms. he has burns to only 10% of his body vs being dead.
i can't even begin to fathom how the ALS justifies in their minds that this is in anyway the fault of the police or the taser.
crooks will still steal them to use in committing ram raids and such though. here being able to lock your car is part of getting a road worthy cert, and it's not at all a bad thing.
the problem is you'd never get agreement on what to put in it now. and who would you trust to draft it? the government? it'd be over run with clauses to suit which ever policical party was in power.
our chance at such a document that actually benefits everyone, has long sailed.
the poster is making the assertion that it works, a lot of people would say their release cycle is a terrible burden on the project.
1. code freeze happens every six months meaning you don't get to finish off features and fixes which might have been of huge benefit. it would make much more sense to base your release cycle around features and improvements, then some arbitary number of days.
2. openBSD EOL's it's releases so quickly, that only in the very rare instance that a business is willing to pay through the nose for inhouse support will you be able to see your system patched.
3. 6 months is way WAY too short of a time for a whole new release. 12 months (if you have to go with the retarded time based release) would be much less of a drain on resources as there is a certain amount of work that must go into a release wether it's got useful upgrades or not.
i've used openbsd in production environment, and it doesn't cut it in hardware support or speed. it's firewall was nice, but i've got that in freebsd now which is a far better OS.
"Not only that, I just checked and according to fedex it costs $7.39 to mail that same letter from coast to coast for their cheapest option. That's only what, nearly 17 times more expensive?"
factor in how much of your tax dollars when into that and then get back to us with a valid point....
my dog gives me a series of ruffs and whistling sounds if i don't follow the rules in the morning. likes wise if i throw the ball into a place he doesn't want to go he'll come back ruffing to me to tell me i need to be the one to fix the situation. the more i talk to him the more he does it as well.
cats and dogs are smarter than we give them credit for, when they look at you, they are thinking about something it's not just a vacant look.
they have improved with every release, win98 - xp was a huge leap and so was vista, in security and it's abilities.
you don't want to get into the who has more bugs between windows and linux. i can melt your brain with the amount of bug riddled software repleased by OSS developers.

of course that isn't as alarming or profitable for greenpeace so they will neglect to tell you this.

dude you reek of yourself.

bender does the job perfectly over and over for a lower cost.
Apu does a poor job, frequently making mistakes to the point he isn't cheaper in the long run.
THAT is where the outrage comes from.
hate GS much? sell in 2003, do you have a time machine??!?!

how exactly are you planning to store such a massive amount of power and avoid losing energy in the transfer?
people this is 2009, how is it you haven't heard of encryption???!!
one day a turd will drop in the shape of RIAA and kdawson will post it
dawson take this stupid bullshit off the frontpage - it's crappy even for slashdot.
private information? what kind of retard thinks facebook is private?

and redhat still calls itself redhat LINUX you spastic.

thats because it's nothing new, and not news worthy.

why is this so hard for some people to understand?
what does it have over VNC? speed,audio,printers and image quality. the reason being it's not a compressed image but screen instructions being sent.
NX is awesome. it's performance has pissed on Xorg for a long long time.
