I know, its so strange, its not like there's any other Ottawa or Ontario anywhere else in the world. Yep, only ones are in Canada, and while were at it only Americans don't know geography. Any other cliches you want to throw in?
...getting information, especially with regards to fiction You seem to misunderstand the word 'fiction' and the purpose of reading it. Fiction is a made up story, with made up people and events, hence the word 'Fictitious,' relating to something that is not real. You read fiction to relax. I know its hard to understand for people that don't like to think, but some people like to engage their minds and think a little when they relax.
Reading doesn't change any of that. I do read and I read many different things from fiction to poems to more technical books. None of it has had any affect on my spelling or grammar.
Well Military sites have got to be high on the list of sites for random break in attempts, and while I would hope sensitive materials would be under very good lock and key, sometimes they make you wonder. Personally, I would have thought that the people covering their security would be more then a little familiar with what they were doing.
Though it a nice little insult to everyone trying, they don't care so much that someone who has never done security before can handle all those pansy ass hackers.
Seems like you and I have a different definition of 'ripped to shreds.' When was the last time you saw a bug in Windows passed off as nothing just because a bunch of people were talking about it 2 years ago.
So this guy wrote a book about the todo list and he's some sort of visionary? Hell I write down what I have to do all the time, mainly because I usually forget, but if I had known I could make money off of a book about it, I would have added that too. I could use the money and I don't care if it comes from a bunch of saps.
Yes they have, PA-RISC as well as I believe. HP is fully on board the good ship Itanic. My dad works on VMS again now, and I believe the word from their HP rep was that VMS will be supported for the next 15 years, and they made a big thing out of booting VMS on an Itanium and doing some simple math on it.
When I claim someone is breaking some law, since I'm not a lawyer I am speaking colloquially. For instance if I refer to a crime as murder, as long as they killed someone, I am correct. A lawyer on the other hand may use words like 'manslaughter,' 'depraved indifference causing bodily harm,' and various degrees of murder, and they all mean different things. So when speaking of stealing as refering to anything that is covered by 'taking something that you have no right to,' I am using the word correctly.
However, since we're being so exact, lets look at some definitions, courtesy of Google. Copyright Infringement: Violation of copyright through unauthorized copying or use of a work or other subject matter under copyright. The distribution of material protected by copyright restrictions without a author's permission.
Theft: Any act of stealing, including robbery and burglary. The wrongful taking of the property of another.
Since copyright assigns rights of ownership to the copyright holder, any 'Unauthorized copying,' would be 'wrongful taking of property.'
It would seem that it is not so much of a leap to call Unauthorized copying wrongful taking of property, which would be theft, and since it has no precise meaning in law, it might be that its not wrong to call Copyright Infringement theft.
Microsoft wants four hundred dollars for Office So? they're within their right to charge what ever they want, its their software. On the other hand if you feel this is an unfair price its your right not to purchase it. Just because you disagree with the list price of something does not give you the right to take it. I don't have the right to download Office because I can't afford it any more then its my right to jack a BMW because its expensive but I still want one.
You can argue that piracy isn't stealing till your blue in the face, one, it doesn't change the fact its illegal, two, you took something you have no right to , and three, the meaning of words change, language is not a static entity, so if the general population uses the word steal in the context of downloading music, movies or software, guess what it comes to mean. If you don't believe me, look up the word Gay some time.
I'm not joking, its still a favorite of mine for some reason.
Ok maybe it was a little bit of a joke, but something light, enjoyable and has absolutely nothing to do with anything at all is a better gift then something thats meant to teach. People need to relax more, when I've just finished a course, the last thing I want is more reading material on the exact same subject, and I always hate people that give gifts with the attitude, 'this helped me, learn from it.' Maybe I do need to learn more, but I do it on my own time. If you give someone more and more heavy material without a break, they're going to burn out or ignore it all, either way it means very little.
I'm so sorry to see you can't read, I said 40% of what was hitting the honeypot came from Linux hosts.
Would you care to point out where you got your bullshit stats of 60-80% of spam coming from home users, by which I assume you mean Windows PC's. Well an article here says only a third is estimated to come from home PC's. Now I'm not mathematician but it seems to me that about 33% is significantly less then 60-80%. Now I don't ever expect to see an objective discussion about Linux here, but between Linux and Windows, which one installs a MTA that is very nicely relaying everything it receives? Heres a hint, you have to add it to IIS after the system is up and running. 2/3's of spam is coming from mail servers that are open, as in the admin didn't configure it correctly, and most of the mail on the internet is relayed by *nix machines. Once again, simply being a *nix admin does not mean you know anything.
I really don't mean to be rude, but it sounds like this is one of your first experiences with linux, so maybe Slackware isn't the best way to get started.
That said, runlevels are analogous to the Safe Mode settings in XP, there's a local, one with networking, one with everything but X, one with everything including X. They're set in/etc/inittab and read by the startup scripts to figure out what they're supposed to do. Your first bet is to run through the installation scripts again, you can choose what by running/sbin/pkgtool as root, try running the xwmconfig script. Go through them slowly and carefully. Slackware is the oldest active distro so a lot of time has gone into making things work, but sometimes the installations prompts can be a little confusing.
As far as where in the manuals, its in `man init` and `man inittab`. You still didn't give anyone an idea exactly what the problem was. Maybe include what errors there were, or what you did.
You deal with the crap they have to, or perhaps used too before they got lazy. Its probably worse when dealing with tech sales, because the customer thinks they're always right, Everyone is a god damn expert when they go shopping for a computer or a TV. I loathed dealing with most people when I did retail sales, because except for a few, they were the worst type of people, though those few really were nice and genuinely thankful for help, they were nice people to help made you feel good for the rest of the day. On the other hand they are supposed to suck it up and sell stuff, hating the customer is no excuse for not taking their money.
You must have a hell of a lot of patience to wait an hour before leaving.
Install X. Ok ok I'm joking, but you don't give much to go on. Assuming you have X configured right, make sure your not booting to runlevel 3 or 5, in Slackware, runlevel 4 will give you kdm, gdm or xdm, in that order if I remember correctly.
Nostalgic is probably the wrong word, but you can pry FF7 from my cold dead hands. I'm also happy so see the FF1-6 being re-released on the PS1 since I never had a console till the PS1 and missed so many games because of that. Re-releases on new hardware is a great thing.

Only personal experience from Social Studies every year in school. I would do a study myself, but it would be restricted to people around here.

I'm going to shut up now.
To be perfectly honest, I sat there for a moment to decide which one and affect wasn't my first choice either.
Affect: To have an influence on or effect a change in
Well it didn't do that either, but your probably right that I meant effect.

In the Air Force, quite a few people who deal with IT are pretty new to this stuff.
Anyone else more then a little bothered by this statement?
Problems in IE get a lot of attention too, but somehow every open bug is a blotch on MS, whereas for Mozilla here, its just fine and dandy.
Other then the fact that FreeBSD has more in the ports tree then OpenBSD, what did you find lacking in OBSD as far as desktop use?

Get a VMS license for it or install a BSD on it. At least put it in a more dignified place.

Since copyright assigns rights of ownership to the copyright holder, any 'Unauthorized copying,' would be 'wrongful taking of property.'
Now these are just dictionary terms, so lets take a look at how legally the term 'Theft' is used. From the Personal Insurance Federation of California Insurance Reference Book THEFT: This is the common word for "acts of stealing." There is no precise meaning in law.
It would seem that it is not so much of a leap to call Unauthorized copying wrongful taking of property, which would be theft, and since it has no precise meaning in law, it might be that its not wrong to call Copyright Infringement theft.
Thats a lot of commas, sorry.
