If the average person suddenly became aware of how much deception goes on and how many underhanded tactics are routinely and daily used to manipulate mass media, let's just say that the outrage and protesting would make the Vietnam War look like a a small uncontroversial subject.
Is that an understatement or what? Once you realize it, then watch the news after a current event, you see the media in an entirely different light. If I had mod points I would be assigning one right now.
Well, I do want. Having democracy evolve using on-line electronic voting, and perhaps voting more often is a good thing. The fact that Diebold screwed up was likely sponsored to deter it. Our masters as it stands get 4-5 year dictatorships and the last think they want is integrity in voting and a higher frequency of voting. It is harder to corrupt 33M voters than than to corrupt 3 or 4 party leaders.
We need electronic voting. Say a vote is electronically cast to 7 sites simultaneously. Maybe include a few national TV stations, a university and different levels of governments. Maybe even a taxpayer funded organization not answering to government. Then when the poles close at 8pm, they reveal their vote counts at the same time. All should agree. And no chad under the electoral peoples desks as quite frankly I don't trust today's closed door counting system.
Then perhaps we could have elections every year. That is so the politicians don't treat it like a term dictatorship only worrying about the constituents once every 4-5 years. Or perhaps go once step further, let the people vote directly and have our representatives advise us. It is much harder to corrupt millions of voters on say a GM bailout vote.
But being a Canadian myself, learning Spanish and thinking Brazil, Chile or Argentina.
Taxes in BC are a real killer of wealth and not really reflected to cost of living as much as other cities. If you are going to move, pick a place where utility bills in the winter are not $500+/mo. Its popularity is only due to the fact that for many Canadians it is the most temperate part of Canada without leaving the country. But compared to the US, a cold place none the less.
For small backups, every ten minutes, I use backintime (based on rsync). For larger, nightly or more rare backups, I use rdiff-backup. Both work over the LAN, or to locally-mounted hard drives.
True. Even if you use MS-Windows, make your home path on the Samba share. Or fire up a VM and mount the MS-Windows partition.
Now according to Wiki they employ 2,054 faculty members and probably outsource most other services like cleaning etc. That works out to $14,000 per year per faculty.
Technological change is most definitely not a good thing. Those stinking truck drivers and their trucks have ruined my career as a stage coach driver!
Then become a politician! Heck, $200,000 a year partially tax free with an expense account that isn't quoestion too much. You even get the air miles! You want a riding on the Westjet route, nicer looking ladies. Even has job security and pension is only 6 years and government backed. Maybe a little cash extra under the table too. And you can use CCRA to find out where to hide your money from the tax man. Get good inside investment tips to from Goodale.
This is why I recommend everyone have a router installed on their internet connection, even if they have only one PC. Routers inherently block almost all worms.
Don't get too comfortable about that thought. While many routers block what comes in quite nicely, they often ignore what goes out just as nicely. So if the browser or email client, or some other user land app goes out because it has been compromised then it will not help.
Effective firewalling watches what goes out, and what comes in and not on the same host where it can be disabled.
There's no way you can expect an average user to figure out how to compile drivers or even use wine to make this work.
Depends, if it is packaged nicely. But I don't see drivers here as being an issue, it was ordered with Ubuntu. Should be a few questions up front and on you go.
It's her fault partially for not asking the right questions beforehand, but it's Dell's fault for not making sure she understood what she was getting and not supporting her after the fact.
I see it as 100% her fault.
As others have pointed out she was looking for a reason to fail. Does not have what it takes to get through MATC. Pure an simple. Hey, I think the picture above, she appears attractive but to go to college you have to turn your brain on.
Second point, she could have bought a MS package. Read the little book, invited a friend over or something and changed the OS. College students can't give up on minor obsticles.
Not everone attending college should graduate just because they show up. You are there to learn how to learn and read. Even what you learn may not be applied later, but you know then how to learn and rationalize.
Looking at that code, it never had effective code review or Q/A. If I was the manager responsible I would be looking up those who signed off on the code in the last review. I didn't spot one, but 4 issues in that code and would not doubt more exist. Second off, there are much simpler ways of doing this in the C libraries, and simplicty has value.
But the design, I suspect is very flawed. Why not use asctime() and rely on it's more proven calculations of leap year and the like via the OS libraries?
And when you see something like this, you know someones brain was in the off position:
This is fantastic news, I applaude the ATI management for realizing this is a good thing to do. I stopped buying ATI in about 2000 because of the issues in getting driver support for Linux. Now that ATI is stepping up to the plate, I am adding ATI products that use this driver to my buy list!
....It's not strange in this country to live in a major city today and still be unable to get an upload rate above 512kbps for under $100 a month. That's retarded.
I agree. But that is because in North America we operate unregulated monopolies and pay the price. Oh, they may say they are being regulated, but not for us, for city profits, franchise fees. It is the system of how they operate that is not in our interests.
.. the problem is that no one knows the best way to make the internet more resilient, accessible and secure, since there's no just no public data.
I dispute that. The internet is a collective effort by many technical people past and present that develop it's potential. The only hinderance is politics, useless patents, corporate monopolies and the like. It is a truly free media, unencumbered by undue influence by anyone or any special interest group.
Keep the internet free, and it will serve mankind very well. The interent does not need stimulus, it needs net equality of access not dominated by any one.
Any solutions for reliability, useability will be provided as needed. Very efficient model too. For example, it does not depend on any one operation system for it's existance, even though some would have it otherwise. Maybe even open up some of that TV channel bandwidth for the internet without the ownership and licensing issues, allowing any company to provide WAN access.
The internet is truly a democratic collective. Work with it and don't let secular forces pervert it. Doesn't cost much either to do this.
Will your solution be as well tested and engineered?
Sun doesn't do much engineering here. Grab a bunch of SATA drives engineered by someone else, put them on a SATA chipset engineered by someone else, skip adding RAID to cut engineering costs and you have a storage array. Someone in China crimps the cables and packs it in a box, one metal and then one cardboard.
But I could go to my local PC enthusiast store buy a pair of 800W or 1200W power supplies, a mobo with quad core, 8GB of RAM, 6 SATA ports built in, 2 x 12 port SATA add ons, 30 1.5TB Seagate drives. Then load Linux (or Solaris) for 45TB of the good stuff and RAID it the way you want. Cost, a fraction of Sun box per TB. BTW, 1.5TB of Seagate SATA is under $200 right now. I am sure I would get a discount if I said I wanted weekly orders of 300 to build 10 per week. Oh, add 2 x 1000BT for bonded Ethernet, need that I/O.
For just 2TB, you really only need 3 1.5TB Seagate drives, use on board ICH9R or ICR19R RAID 5, on the cheap. Might even be able to do that for not much more than $1000 with 8GB of RAM cache. Ooops, Solaris doesn't support many ICH9 configs, use Linux.
Ya, I really wish they get rid of their multiple editions. I see only need for Windows 7 and Windows 7 Server (and even if they want to stretch it, Windows 7 Home and Windows 7 Business/Pro like they did in XP), but 5 versions are ridiculous.
Actually, more than that. Double it for OEM versions and you forgot ultimate. My local electronics shop has 11 different ways to order Vista, and I don't think it is complete.
I haven't been able to find guide on deploying active directory-like system with free software which would offer group policy features. When I already have groups deployed in LDAP, why do I need to script installers instead just defining policy to install software to that group
First, quit thinking like Microsoft, their methods are ass backwards and overly complex. Look at a script as a hyper intelligent policy where you are in total control and not bound by the options presented to you.
A quick note about US debt and Canadian debt that once accounted for show a very similar amount of debt per capita. In fact, considering provincial debt in Ontario and Quebec as part of a total debt load many Canadians are at least as hit by government debt. Here are the items.
The US accounts for projected shortfalls in Social Security as debt with a an entry on the books for it. Canada does not include this in their debt situation. While Canada does actually have a CPP reserve, it is short. Last I collected money today is paid out to pensioners inside of 3 months, effectively funded out of current contributions by others. Where did it go? I was squandered from Liberal Pierre Elliot Turdeau on.
Next, the US economy has more elasticity in tax collection than Canada and government internal costs are less. For example, your average working Canadian pays close to 50% if not more in total aggregate tax load to all levels of government, which includes all forms of direct and indirect taxation. Americans on the other hand by the same measure are at about 30% or less.
So in reality, if Canada had a 1 trillion deficit added to the 500 billion or so debt, add in the massive provincial debt in most provinces then Canadians are in debt and already taxed us the wazoo. And far more in debt than the American. Hate to break the news to you but Canada is every it a debtor nation like out neighbors to the south!
Compound this with many people getting lower wages in their profession with higher taxes...less consumer elasticity. When employment in Canada hits 6% going down, we think the economy is hot as it gets! When US unemployment goes up to 6% they are deemed in a recession! And Canadians pay more for major ticket items like homes, autos, appliances etc. And generally except for mining, oil and government have less competition for skills.
I am sorry if I offended socialists ears, but socialism clear robs wealth from people and serves no other purpose but to subvert people. I have lived on both side of the border for extend periods of time and many a Canadian has relatively no idea of the differences in the US and Canada. Just what they hear from big mouths like Chretien/Dion/Laytoon...ya..socialist misfit losers. They lie more than any Canadian knows.
Its called inflation and is a godsend for a debtor nation like the US. With household debt at 100% of GDP and over $10 trillion on national debt, the policies of this government will inevitably be geared towards inflation. The need to keep inflation numbers low for now is simply to sucker people into lending us money at a low interest rate. At some point in the future, the US will inflate its way out of its debt. (Do you really think we'll ever actually pay back what we've borrowed?) When that happens, those who own debts will benefit, those who hold cash will cry.
Deserves repeating too. I am a firm believer that government coming up with $800 billion is geared towards making inflation happen. The stock market is on to this as in a 20% interest rate environment a 1% dividend makes no sense. In short, they are not telling us all the reasons the market is dropping. The required P/E for a good investment needs to be 5, no more.
look pal, youre the only continent that is stuck with that mccarthian scarecrowing shit about left.
Ah, managed to get a NDiaPer to wake up.
entire europe is on social democracy, and it already got past north america in terms of economy and life standard, - hell, in every aspect of life.
Then you should move there. When I lived/worked in Europe the pay for the locals, well, wasn't good. And taxes, whew....great cultural place to visit but no want to live there unless I was filthy rich.
get this shit into your head -> in life EVERYthing needs BALANCE. without balance, everything flops. economy is not exempt from this basic rule.
Yes, everything needs a balance. It is also why the NDP are out of balance. They have great talk, lovely ideas, promise the moon. And it works great until the credit card comes past due. The balance for an NDP is credit runs out.
I agree, all are bad in the above. But it is what is happening in the markets and the super rich know it. Internationalization of the worlds currencies and economies has just began.
please, its 2008. stop it.
Except of course for the Alberta Progressive Conservative party, which reduced taxes, eliminated the deficit AND the provincial debt (it is now completely gone).
All Alberta did was elect two successive by the people representatives as our leaders. Yes, I live in Alberta. Neither Klein nor successor Stelmach are professional politicians, both came from the working class from their successful stints in real careers. That is, they are not in-the-pocket of vested interests behind the scenes. When Klein got in, he spent the first 6 months on a hack and burn of government waste and excess. Civil service people still scream at this government overhaul event as the provincial debt was increasing.
Alberta voters tend to be smarter and avoided the liberal left promise of stars, spending and statist government at our, taxpayers expense. People here know when a candidate promises something they intuitively think, how is it going to be paid for?
While some say it is oil, they are over stating the facts. Klein did this before oil was lucrative and only $20/barrel and the industry was barely hanging on. And in lucrative times, the government piggy banked the increased revenue money which reduces taxes in a sound sustainable way.
It does not take long to turn around a out of control government, just a decent, honest, practical politician with lots of power that isn't doing the job for self ego. Even on Klein's last days, he would sit down with normal people and say hello.
What the USA calls "right-wing" may not act like it at all, but in Canada generally fiscal conservatism means such, because we have an actual example of such that happened, not just theory like down south.
We will see in the next few weeks. Canada's currency took a wild dip as the government is ailing out the banks too. Fiat currency management is on both sides of the border, they are not overlooking the Bank of Canada's propensity to create fiat money.
It is a trap and not a joke. The NDP have never left less government debt in their terms of office. Provinces like Saskatchewan have 11 billion dollars in debt. While that many not sound like much, they have less than 1 million people to support it. They love credit spending like no other.
Most experienced Canadians know NDP as socialists. Nationalization is a key plug of theirs.
Laytoon would say anything to get elected be he mean it or not. World readers need to know it is routine that Canadian candidates lie often.
