This is like all technology issues. You have to make a decision at some point and stop chasing the next breakthrough. It's like buying a new PC. There is always a better soemthing in the pipe line. If you keep waiting for the next best thing, you would never buy one.

This is another side effect of the PC movement. For some reason the differently challenged can not be told there are some things they can not do. I read an article earlier in the year where some of their advocacy groups were suing the Federal government to provide access to more wilderness areas. Now I'm sorry but as soon as you pave a roadway for access, the wilderness is gone. Now the idea that they should be able to hunt without having to leave their home is just going to far yet again. Hopefully the State can put a stop to this before it gets started.
Not sure about the major news not mentioning it. Seems I recall it being reported many times during the build up on Fox News. And they reported it as emails targeted to the military leadership.
The way I read the actual article was that this program would be available for parents or perhaps employers to run the check on a local machine. That way the person running it would probably have to waive any claims against the MPAA for wrongfully deleting files.
It seems like we have had a robot story every few days recently. Makes me wonder where the robot lobby is getting their money for this advertising campaign.
And are you seriously going to compare this power grab with that undertaken by FDR with his New Deal and his attempts to pack the Supreme Court when they tried to deny him. Or how about our rounding up US citizens, Japanese Americans. How about Lincoln's suspension of Habeus Corpus. How about Johnson and his wars on Vietnam and on Poverty. Nixon's wage and price controls... the list goes on. All of those make this action by the FCC look minor league. Atually even the Patriot Act is more to complain about than this.
That is because you apparently didn't read my post or did not think about what it said. The continuing increase of centralized power would occur whether Bush and the Republicans were in power or Kerry and the Democrats. That is why I said it has little effect.
Actually Bush and his party have little if any effect on this. Sorry, but both parties have collected power to the Federal Government through out our history. This process accelerated after the Civil War and continues today. The Constitution is rather clear when read with the 10th Amendment, most of what the government does these days is unconstitutional. But depending on where your ideology stands, you approve when it is your group accumulating power but disapprove when it is the other group. After both sides get their way long though, most every area of our lives are now controlled by the Federal Government. I don't think the average citizen today even realizes that the states are supposed to be the controlling authority in most aspects of our lives, not the central government.
I helped my son install it when it first came out and no problems so far for him either. Not sure if he has kept the firewall activated. I told him to either keep it or install zone alarm. But you know how those 20 year olds can be;-)
As for me, I installed the update when it first came out, but haven't logged back into it since. But no problems with my Slackware during that time;-)
1. Never met a Windows user that did use it, but I will take your word for it.
2. Similarly secure to SSH? All I see is a plugin module for RSA, but nothing builtin. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
3. Really, oh you do have to type a command out don't you.
Did you also know Wal-Mart's employee name badges have RFID tags (and have had for many years) that allow Wal-Mart to track where an employee is at any given time?
They need to implant chips in their forehead or hand. As it is, the employee could just "forget" his tag somewhere. Don't want them employees out running around unattended now do we?
You can't really blame them for giving up. Lawsuits are going to get worse against companies that get hacked and private information gets out on the internet. It also seems like the nature on people on the internet has changed. It used to be that most of the geeky types that tried to hack a box, did it just for fun. We would get in just to see if we could, then maybe leave a note to the Sysop that his system was open. Oftentimes he didn't change anything because he didn't care as long as no one screwed anything up. Now it is all different. There are thousands of script kiddies using scripted tools to hack a box or making slight alterations in virus source code, so they think they are the next phenom.
At the same time companies don't want to spend the money to hire competent people to administrate their networks and systems. They apparently think it is cheaper to just retreat from the internet.
But this will be their method to overwhelm Google without getting into some antitrust problem. They will so intermingle the code with the rest of the OS. They can truthfully tell the court, "it is built into the operating system and can not be removed." And when has security been the primary consideration of M$. Their primary goal is to assimilate. They will buy you or make you obsolete.
I dont' think dead, but probably close to it. Very few people use snail mail except to conduct business. The same will probably be true of email. Businesses will likely continue to use it for the foreseeable future. Not just spam but for responding to customer inquiries or feedback. And just like grandma still sends you that card in the mail. ALot of us old people that have been using email for 10 years we will continue to do so.
But M$ has a huge hammer to rely upon. They will start making Itunes break everytime there is a MS Update run. While making the Windows Media Player more similar to Itunes. Pretty soon it won't be worth the hassle to keep Itunes running right.
Hopefully the shotguns don't get in the robots' way.
Seriously, it is a shame that the United States has allowed our space program to decline to the point where we have to outsource stuff like this. Back in the 70's, I would have expected that by now we would have been able to have a passing space crew on their way to the moon base stop by to do repairs. And this isn't just on one political party. Both of them have basically lost any vision or passion for space. We are too concerned with who we can bribe with pork to keep them happy and voting for us, not what is good for the future of the country.
This all goes back to the modern golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules and M$ has more gold than most countries. If they come after you for trademark/copyright infringement if you are right, they will still keep you tied up in court for years and bankrupt you if they can.
If this software package or OS contains any warez, that means any package containing it is free to use as warez as well.....
hmmm I guess that means Windoze is free to be traded on the warez channel.... I'm sure I read that somewhere..... hmm maybe not.
As one of the looked down upon members of rural America, can I ask: if my local chinese restaurant is owned and entirely staffed by chinese people that barely speak english, how is our chinese restaurant less than yours. And the locally owned pizzerias are owned by real italian people. One of them is owned by a gentleman from Naples, another from Palermo. I have bad news for you, the immigrants of this country spread all through our country. They all did not stop at the water's edge.
From what I remember though, AOL and the Time Warner people don't get along very well. There was a perception by Time Warner that they ended up buying a pig in a poke when they bought AOL.

Your real goal though is to write something, get it patented and then sell it for millions to the big boys.

So if I grew up with a vacuum tube tv and even had a vacuum tube radio, does that make me really old :)
Well you see, it is a male cat. And when the female cat (pussy) comes into season.... oh wait different type of tomcat. Sorry.

It's quite stupid. If both parties are running Gaim then they are using linux. Why not just scp to the other box? It is just as easy and more secure.
We better get the hardware running faster.... Doom 4 is only years away.
