To each theor own, personally I'd like to find a really old radion, you know what I mean, the wooden ones from the 20's or 30's and put a little ITX board in it and use it to stream MP3's to the stereo system, but in the end, its about how you like the way it looks, and how much pride you can take in it. I'd say hes got both the looks and pride hands down.
Currently I've just painted all of mine, but it adds colour to the room so its nicer to work in here, and yes I have a neon tube, but I like blue.
Such selective memory on the history of western civilization.
Genesis 9:25-27: "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers. He also said, 'Blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend the territory of Japheth; may Japeth live in the tents of Shem and may Canaan be his slave'. "
Christians traditionally believed that Canaan had settled in Africa. The dark skin of Africans became associated with this "curse of Ham." Thus slavery of Africans became religiously justifiable.
For a very long time, the idea that blacks were cursed was not just accepted by the catholic church, it was cannon, but don't be so surprised that they don't announce this on the roof tops, they also castrated young boys so they always sung a certain way and supported Nazism until it lost. The churches official stance as been to ignore then issue an apology when the collective belief swings against them.
Then you bring up the wonderful history of of the 'Christian' missionary. Ah yes, the forced conversions such a wonderful time for all involved I'm sure.
Don't try to gloss over the absolutely disgusting things that have been done in the name of religion, and with the Inquisition, the forced conversions at the edge of a sword during the conquest of Latin America, the full support from the Pope himself of Nazi Germany, the Catholic church is at the forefront of this long, disgusting tradition. That Africa is one of the few places in the world that Catholicism is growing is not proof they have done nothing wrong, but a tribute to the churches ability to cover up and silently ignore what is now considered immoral and change exactly what is cannon so as not to insult the people for centuries it considered to be cursed by god.
You wouldn't beleive what crap you have to go through to find a deent reference on this subject. This was at least clean.
I assume you've never heard of Ireland. As far as lynch mobs in America, 'Christians across the country' in general saw nothing wrong with it, after all it was Catholicism that created the basic idea that Blacks were cursed therefore it was ok to do anything to them.
Which is why the RIAA is not charging downloaders, but people who are sharing, since they have no right to do so.
If I steal a car, and sell it, does the person to whom I sold it to become the legal owner of the car simply because they weren't the ones who took it? No they aren't but neither are they charged with the theft.
So possibly technically, downloading music isn't wrong IF you really can prove you had no idea getting free music that you usually had to buy was wrong, the person sharing on the other hand, is illegally distributing it. This ignores the fact that the warning that unauthorized copying is prohibited has been printed on every CD and tape that your not allowed to copy, and copying a copy is still unauthorized copying.
As for the extra charge on recordable media, possibly soon to be extended to MP3 players, it is not open season on distributing that music, but was to placate some who were hoping that people would be lazy enough to buy one tape, it predates cd's, for your home and another for your car and yet another for who knows where, it was stupid, but does not make it legal to distribute out side of personal use. Unless a person or site is authorized to distribute the material, then downloading from them is simply taking material that they have no right to share so you have no right to take in the first place.
Of course around here there is no shortage of people to tell you you have the right to do anything you want.
Theft is taking without permission. Colloquially, the words theft and stealing mean the taking of anything, whether an object or ideas and has done for a very long time, therefore in informal speech it is quite correct to refer to it as stealing. If on the other hand, I was speaking as a lawyer, then the terms 'Copyright Infringement' or 'Larceny' or who knows how many other terms for a very specific set of circumstances, depending upon what and the value of what was 'inappropriately taken.' would be used. In either case, whether 'Copyright infringement' or 'Larceny' and its many degrees, something was taken that you had no rights to. That act of taking that which is not yours, and you have no right or permission to is encompassed in the word Theft.
Its quite simple really, people who wish to do something they're not supposed to, ie download music illegally, do not want you to think of it as stealing or theft because then they're theives, which is wrong. They attempt to justify this position by saying nothing *physical* was taken, they still have the original to release, therefore it was not stealing. Under these circumstances this use of the word 'steal' becomes important:
Idiom:
steal (someone's) thunder
To use, appropriate, or preempt the use of another's idea, especially to one's own advantage and without consent by the originator.
Anything taken, copied, downloaded and such without the owners permission is taking something you have no right to. That is Theft, plain and simple.
Steal: To take and carry away, feloniously; to take without right or leave, and with intent to keep wrongfully; as, to steal the personal goods of another.
Well I don't know about you but the konsole has always been on my kicker when I first install KDE, and what part of K -> System -> Konsole requires hunting through menus.
Friendly, action packed and a good looking desktop does not have to bog down the system. My system isn't a power-house, when I had KDE 2, it was only a P2 350 with 256MB ram. When KDE3 was released, I could see that with the performance I was getting with 2 was going to make it so that 3 with everything it had was not going to run well at all, I wanted it anyway, so I tried a little experiment. I removed the existing KDE rpms and compiled KDE3 myself from source, and it worked just as well as 2 had done.
Try and switch to a distro thats actually compiled for modern systems instead of one that will run on everything but the kitchen sink.incidently, I later switched to Slackware and everything got even snappier.
While I agree that modding any Mac is a crime, modding a beige box to either fit your personality or the decor of the room your in is not something to scoff at just because it doesn't improve it in a technical manner, especially when you sit with it there for a large part of the day. I bet you at least painted the room your sitting in, and that didn't improve the room in any technical manner.
Prof. Tanenbaum did not narrow the view. This 'report' very specifically says Linus could not have written Linux on his own with out taking code he had no right to.
Its very different then your examples of look-alikes. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as you wrote it entirely yourself, or with sources you have a legal right to. If KB were to use The GIMP as his example, he wouldn't be saying The GIMP looks lot like Photoshop, he'd be saying that the developers of The GIMP must have broken into Adobe's offices and stolen the Photoshop code, its the only way they could have a viable product.
What I feel more distastfull is the fact that so prominatntly, anywere hes mentioned, right on its heals is he's GAY!
Ya so, lots of people are. If he wasn't would he be less of a genious? His greatness came from what he did and could do, not his personal life. Obviously its writing attempting to ride on how fasionable it is to be gay right now, and how 'opressed' gay people are, turning this into a 'greatness in the face of adversity.'
As far as having the object of his death in a memorial, its no different the christians wearing a cross and thinking of it as a holy symbol.
A non-interactive, specifically configured honeypot seems like a good way to describe it ya.
When you think about it, it makes sense that a honeypot could do this in its normal course of operation, since most unwanted traffic is not specifically aimed at you, but rather just someone looking for something to do, if it wasn't able to respond to random pings like this, its useless for most of the unwanted traffic you want it to absorb.
You can set a honeypot like honeyd to essencially passivly capture all traffic to a subnet, which would log all worms as well. So a darknet is a lot like a honeynet, except you can't do as much with it.
A sniffer will sniff all traffic on the wire for malicious activity, where as this, since there is no reason for any traffic to be directed at these addresses or routed to that subnet, you know immediately something is up.
If it seems like you've heard it before, you probably have, its similar if not the same thing to a honeypot/net.
Five years ago the main GUI for Java apps was the AWT, which just didn't sit well with a lot of serious developers. Swing was in its infancy, was dog slow at the best of times and didn't play well with threads. If they had tried to do this then, or anytime before Swing became a lot more usable, then it would have died before anyone noticed. They probably could have done it a little sooner, but its possible that because they now ship Gnome instead of CDE they're rethinking some of they ways the deploy a GUI desktop, or are making it easier to create apps with Java across all installations for desktop oriented tasks so that more programmers realize what can be done with Java.
So in response to an article that says gamers need to have more creative thinking, your solution is to tell them what to do. Absolutely brilliant. I mean it, this is genius.
It seems that the creators of Deus Ex thought the same way, They put the player between a rock and a hard place, the locked door and an impossible path. RIGHT IN FRONT of the player was a window. They didn't try the window and your solution is to put a HUGE sign on the window that says 'open me.' You propose to create games that are simply eye candy around connect the dots. "Hello player, welcome do Deus Ex, I'll be telling you what to do for the duration of this game, so please sit back and be as board as you'd like."
I can't see why they wouldn't allow that, not only would the system have to be able to pull updates, it has to be in sync with whatever system its replacing, unless you have a system thats just an OS not doing anything. Obviously you need to talk to your MS sales rep and get some clarification.
Thats not true. It might not be technically an "innovation," but while Mac's where wasteful with the Trash can on the desktop, Microsoft showed forward thinking an ecological responsibility and used a Recycling bin instead.
A lot of people are like that, and in this case its not entirely stubbornness. Jobs is a very single minded person, so its not all that surprising that when information that he already knows is presented in a manner different then how he thinks, it seems either wrong or difficult to comprehend. For example:
Fry: "DOOP? What's that?" Prof: "Its like the United Nations from your time." Fry: "Uh?" Hermes: "Or the Federation from your Star Trek program" Fry: "OH!"
Exactly the same information presented in a very different way. Now Fry is an idiot, but you get the idea.
One good thing that does come out of the article is that it appears the Jobs likes colour, something that really is lacking in a lot of job sites when your working with computers, but it can make the people working there feel a little better. It needs more blue though.
So what processors does this and OpenBSD enable NX on? Seriously, I'm having problems finding a straight answer. I didn't notice a performance decrease from OBSD 3.3 to 3.4 but my system isn't really doing much.

Good luck, Just built it on a dual hypersparc ss10, only sees CPU0
Yes of course we all know that the filing cabnet, and the general idea of organizing related files in a folder was a terrible idea.
