Doesn't 1.0.6 have known problems? Is Dell shipping security risks now?
and IE doesn't??? come on... how many unpatched holes still exist for IE??? Dell could never keep up with it... they'd need a fresh install image every week nearly...
but I would pick Python... but if you really have to, then Java... the whole point of this course is not that you are learning a programming language... but that you are learning the fundamentals of Object Oriented Programming. The language is a means to an end... just think yourself lucky... I had to suffer Eiffel on my OOP course
actually, considering I cut my programming teeth way back in the early 70's and had to punch my programmes in on good old fashioned punched cards... built my first personal computer the hard way by having to solder EVERY connection, and had to code it by typing in the raw op codes, I think I'm ably qualified to tell you young whippersnappers, especially those inexperienced whippersnappers that Microsoft insists on using, where things are wrong...
oh by the way, they have to pay me to use ms-windows... I use and code on Linux by personal choice. My daughters and my grandchildren also prefer Linux
so the best defence is to hide behind a hardware firewall router then... what's running on that firewall router??? bet you anything it's most likely Linux...
Gee, that sounds serious, and these viruses don't tell you that they've just installed themselves. What someone should make then is some sort of software that scans your system for viruses and warns you if your system has been compromised...
what someone should make is a consumer grade operating system that's secure by design in the first place... ms-windows ISN'T...
well, you could always download the source code and keep up to date yourself using CVS or whatever system they're using... the builds are just for the convenience of those who lack the ability/resources/knowledge to do it for themselves... of course, if you're stuck on dialup or no net connection at all, then tough... 75MB takes me 3 minutes to download...
If anything is obscuring the license plate you will be pulled simply for that.
First, they have to catch you... and there are precious few police out pulling people for dirty plates, I can tell you that... so, are they gonna station police by major junctions waiting for the camera system to tell them there's an unreadable plate going through???
it's as big a scandal as the ships being dissassembled by hand on the beaches of India... and all the surplus PCs being shipped off to be stripped down by hand...
Corporate pigs shipping work out to places that have NO health and safety laws... all in the name of short term shareholder profits. These bastards have NO ethics... how would they feel if they themselves were on the breadline with no job protection and the only work available being dirty, shit jobs exported from countries that should know better
and to Microsoft, a standard is whatever the heck they say it is today... cos, as sures as eggs is eggs, Microsoft will stretch this RSS standard until their version only works with IE...
If your ISP does this, find a better ISP, cancel your subscription with the former.
When ISPs get enough of it, they'll come around
to be able to do that, you have to have a choice... a lot of people have no choice at all... they only have the one ISP that they can connect with. and that's usually tied with their cable or phone connection.
As for the ban on torture loophole? I think you are misreading somethign here. All this deal did was say that interrogators accused of using improper methods could offer as a defense that they were acting on orders that a reasonable person would believe to be lawful. This doesn't mean that i could order you to starve a person until they talk and you would get away with it. What it does say is that if an order is lawful to a reasonable person you can use that as a defense.
The Nurumberg trials voided that defense... I'm surprised people still get away with the "I was only acting under orders" gig...
but am I the only one wondering just why on earth they were messing around with such strong radiation source in the first place and managed to get it stuck and spent some 21 days prannying about before they called in the robot...
Worth considering I think for any distro that wants to be handed a few million virgin computers with NO ms inside and a hardware maker that would love to shaft MS like it has never been shafted before.
Sadly, Sony have blown it with the rootkit saga... I am now refusing to buy new Sony items, I will however buy secondhand... so will have to wait for some time before used PS3's come onto the market...:(
honestly, does anyone actually understand what the heck they're going on about here???
'facilitate advanced dependency injection scenarios.' [...]'Dependency injection encapsulates the details of resource and collaborator discovery, and aspects can (among other things) encapsulate the details of middleware service invocations'
First, cell phones are wide spread, and the companies that control them aren't entirely under the thumb of Ma' Bell. Verizon and Cingular are closely related to Regional Bell operating companies, T-Mobile and Sprint are not. They'll limit any power that resurgent Ma' Bell could exercise.
Only if they own their own cable... if their voice/data traffic has to travel via any wire owned by "Ma'Bell", as you put it, then they can be choked out by price rises and/or low prioritisation.
Second, the cable tv industry is making strong moves into telephony. The VoIP bundles offered by the cable companies provide the second line of defense against Ma' Bell.
ditto the above, plus VOIP is being subjected to legislation designed to require costly measures to achieve compliance. Note, when the 911 system was originally set up, the landline companies were subsidised heavily to get the infrastructure in place, this time, the VOIP companies are not getting any money or relief on the date to achieve compliance...
Third, municpal broadband would only become a stronger alternative in the face of a reassembled Ma' Bell. Municipal broadband, coupled with Skype, Vonage, or a dozen others will offer a third line of defense against Ma' Bell.
Municipal broadband with VOIP will also be heavily legislated such that it becomes very expensive to achieve compliance... that crap earlier on about all access points having to be encrypted and firewalled is expressly designed to make it very expensive to set up. And WiMax is going to run into a wall of legislation designed to make it expensive to achieve compliance as well.
I've been watching the big telephone companies setting their ducks up in a row... shoes are starting to drop and the real results will soon be seen as the fledgling IP based upstarts will not be able to grow into healthy businesses.
Perhaps I'll take the plunge and switch to KDE when the next Ubuntu rolls. But it would be a shock for my wife, who I have finally gotten broken in to GNOME. She operates in both the Windows and GNOME desktop environments, and doesn't have to (and doesn't WANT to) drop to the command line in either.
What???? WHY??? surely you have an account each... then she can have Gnome as her preference and you can have KDE for yourself... best of both worlds... unlike windows or OSX where you have NO choice...
Another thought: what does the hardware cost, is it worth it for the company, and is there a EULA that says you can't hack it for your own purpose?
They'll have a hard time enforcing that EULA... once I've gotten my sticky mits on it and done the dirty deed, there's no chance it'll ever be able to tell them it's been hacked. How are they gonna know? are they going to require your full contact details and for you to report in every so many days for them to ascertain you've still got it and are using it in accordance with the terms? I'll just say I lost it over the side of my boat... what can they do? sue me... see where it gets them.

IT was not a fertility treatment... it was prescribed to reduce morning sickness...
NOT for me... my brother is one of the victims
so can we expect YOU to be first in the queue to be a guinea pig then???
