Darryl McBride, who with his 19 years of executive management and leadership experience, singlehandedly led the formerly faltering SCO to develop a state of the art product like Linux.
I agree and hope to continue pursuing the study of Vedanta and following it's teachings in the future years of my life. Particularly, the parts about losing the (personal) ego, humbling myself and realizing/experiencing the advaita (non-dualistic/unitary/matrix(if you will)) philosophy of existence.
Good point. I think one reason (I have a similar background as the original poster) is that it takes a certain level of maturity to become interested in philosophy and the like.
In my experience, I was far too busy going through my post-teenage years and having fun in college to really begin to think about philosophy. I began to think deeper about life and study philosophy (particularly Vedanta) a couple of years after college.
The first successful nonstop, nonrefueling flight was made by Dick Rutan and Jeana Yeager in their Scaled Composites Model 76 Voyager back in 1986. That one wasn't solo though.
I liked the way how he subtly hinted at the folly of using identifiers as passwords. An identifier is supposed to be public (akin to a login)... but it is increasingly being treated as a password....something which it was never designed to be.
I have the same problem with credit card numbers too. They aren't supposed to be secret - a variety of persons have an opportunity to read/record/duplicate them every time you use it at a restaurant/merchant/online/etc. There should be some other "secret" mechanism to (the written signature is overrated, outdated and ineffective)
Some debit cards do require a PIN (unfortunately not always), which is the proper way to go about it (assuming the swiping mechanism, keypad etc are not rigged).
If enough news outlets spread awareness about this issue and enough people stop treating their SSN's as a secret or atleast protest against businesses using them as an authentication mechanism, maybe we could have a better system.
most IM clients let you restrict incoming IMs only to those originating from people in your Friends list. And most people (in my experience) aren't interested in receiving IMs from anybody outside the list (atleast those of us who use IM mainly as an alternative to phone calls to friends/relatives).
IMHO until somebody figures out a way to spoof IM headers to make them look as if they're coming from somebody else, spimming is going to be far less of an annoyance than email spam.
Not recommending psychedelic drugs or anything of that nature here, but:
Your mind is a greater computer than we can ever create with our current technology. It is also capable of far higher planes of entertainment than we are used to.
Being restricted in your body movement does not restrict you from exploring the depths of your mind. You could try playing these "MindGames (TM)" by yourself. What I'm referring to is exploring "higher planes of consciousness", as Eastern religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, etc) call it, and "trips", as druggies (no offence intended) call it.
These elevated states of consciousness are achievable through meditation and trancendental techniques (lots of Google results when I looked) and to a certain extent (with obvious side effects) through psychotropic drugs. In my experience, these techniques really result in peace and tranquility, at the very least..... and what's more, you don't need anything more than your mind to play them.
Just wanted to offer an out of the box suggestion which I thought might help....Good luck.
customers might upload a shopping list to the store's website before leaving home, and then download the list to the shopping cart upon arriving at the store.

First and foremost, I should link to the last story Slashdot ran about Jon, slamming the media's coverage of the election on CNN's Crossfire.
That out of the way, I would like to encourage people to watch The Daily Show even though it comes on at 11pm EST (it also reruns at 7pm EST the following evening). Even those of you who reject it outright as Left Wing BS.
Pause for a moment and try to listen to what the man has to say in as unbiased a way as possible...thinking of him as a standup comedian might help in this regard.
Over time, you'll realize, that he indeed makes a lot of sense. Atleast when compared to the lameass corporate-owned media which the populace considers as mainstream (and factual) news. In his own, sarcastic and comedic way, he puts forth "politically incorrect" news items, which the popular media outlets are unwilling to touch, or willing to slant to suit their ends.
ChoicePoint maintains personal profiles of nearly every U.S. consumer, which it sells to employers, landlords, marketing companies and about 35 U.S. government agencies.
I love the way marketing companies have more access to my personal information than I do. Moreover, they're among the "legitimate" businesses who the company claims it sells information to -- any dick and harry spammer joint can be called a "marketing company". In other words, if you have enough money to pour down their gullet, you have the information.
The company says its records enable law enforcers to track down serial killers and have helped find 822 missing children.
Yeah, since they help children, they cannot be an irresponsible company.
"The topic of the responsible use of information is a vital one to our society... we support a national debate on this very topic," ChoicePoint President Doug Curling said.
Classic tangential marketspeak response from the president.
Newer rootkits can intercept system calls that are passed to the kernel and filter out queries generated by the software. This makes them invisible to administrators and to detection tools...
Yeah, ofcourse. Once you have software installed with root or admin privileges, it can do pretty much anything, and should be treated as such.
Shouldn't the system be designed that it cannot get on with root/admin previleges without the user's knowledge in the first place?
The underlying problem is Windows' flawed methodolgy of encouraging people to run as admin (RunAs or other lame workarounds don't count - I have encountered several situations where RunAs doesn't do the job - something as simple as like changing the system date/time for example).
If common sysadmin tasks cannot be accomplished without logging in as Admin, people are going to log on as Admin all the time (why should software installation require changes to the central registry?).
All software is installed with root/admin privileges, should be treated with caution.
This may be a dupe (the earlier article is still fresh in my memory), but the BBC article is from today (Feb 18).
At the very least, it's good to see that the mainstream news media has gotten wind of the article and is echoing EFF's concerns. Most of the articles in the Google News search seem to be recent (Jan/Feb 2005).
I don't mind these kinds of dupes, because Slashdot (being the techie kind of website that it is) is likely to report such articles before other generic news sites, and that is how it should be. But it doesn't hurt to post the article again once the major news media reports it.
Ofcourse, if the editors don't add something like "this was posted earlier, and now everybody's talking about it", it does seem like the dupe was not posted with this kind of intention.
Don't expect Richard Clarke to rely on Microsoft Corp.'s anti-virus or anti-spyware programs to protect his own computer.
Yeah...buying an OS vulnerable to viruses and spyware and then buying anti-virus and anti-spyware programs is like shooting yourself in the foot and then running (limping) to the hospital for help.
And what's more...the hospital profits from lending you a gun and encouraging to shoot yourself in the foot.
