It is one of the main, (in my opinion) achievements of the F/OSS movement
Except that it was developed by a company as a commercial product and later released as open source. I am not trying to diminish the (impressive) efforts made after they released the source, only stating the fact.
(That is, Photoshop would also qualify as one of the most impressive OSS projects if Adobe released the source.)
Yeah, the aboriginals should have bashed the white devils heads in as soon as they sat foot on the "new" continent. The same goes for the native americans.
But if you're naive about the net and you go online maybe once a month...then you're a raw piece of meat in a pool full of sharks.
I am one of those naive that really don't have a clue what hardware review sites to trust. My comfort is that I am probably far from alone, in this matter.
To assist me and other naives(sp?), please join this silly poll and review the following sites (regarding credibility) with a scale ranging from 1 to 10, where 1 is "No credibility at all" and 10 is "Perfect credibility, these guys wouldn't post a biased review for world domination":
Most things run as smooth as you'd like, except games.
Either:
You lack RAM for running xp combined with other stuff efficiently.
Or:
Your (parents) windows xp is badly misconfigured.
Hint:
MHz,GHz,THz isn't everything. Run windows xp (or any other newish OS) on a box with 32MB RAM and have a coffe break that lasts an eternity while you wait for swapping to subside.
Hehe, tänkte inte på ditt nick i din inledande kommentar. Tänkte väl att "Mantorp" var ett för bisarrt ord i sammanhanget, för att vara ett rent sammanträffande.:)
Question is, as someone pointed out, did they know they shouldn't have?
If the "hack" was typing in an URL when logged in as mentioned, my guess is that many would type it in without even giving it any thought. Most of these 119 individuals probably wouldn't have gone through with this if it involved some serious hacking. People are curiuos by nature.
The problem here isn't curious youngsters, it is a world class business school practicing security by obscurity.
Slashdot Mirror
Hans Reiser didn't invent any programming language afaik. And I sure hope he doesn't show up on the "killer" side of that game.
Sorry to hear about your cat. :-(

What part of being included is hard to comprehend?
Downloadable after installation doesn't qualify as included.

Points in the general direction of Redmond.
Ha ha!
Your sig is the first thing to make me smile today. Those were the days. :)
Hehehe

I will send them a copy of Dean R Koontz "Hideaway" as a congratulatory gift. :)

I'll make this simple for you:
Piracy is not stealing. Period.
Piracy is copyright infringement. Period.
Learn this simple fact, and you won't have to look like a fool in public.

First we state that girls require Time as well as Money:And as we all know Time is Money:Therefore:And because "money is the root of all evil":Therefore:And we are forced to conclude that:The only catch in this explanation is that "as well as" is not definately the same as "times"

If you know only a few of them, give your opinion on those.
Maybe someone with the right facilities could set up an independent poll?

Mantorp?
Mantorp is the largest racing track in Sweden, does the word have any significance in english too?

Uhm, how would you "implement but not enforce" patent laws?
What happens when company X want to sue copmany Y for infringement?
"Sorry, these laws are implemented, but we can't enforce them."
Me thinks some counter/meta moderation is needed badly.
That already happened with Windows XP SP2. ;)
More info, not sure of the facts though. Sounds a lot like a one-man theory.
Canary Island Mega Tsunami
Megatsunami
Planet Ark
Oh, and it seems I was wrong about the name of the island. It should be La Palma. I fail at geography.
Or maybe blowing off a chunk of Gran canaria and creating a tsunami devestating the american east coast.
That article isn't very accurate though. The name of the island is Gran canaria, not La Palma (Las Palmas being the capital of Gran canaria).
