Nope. I just moved a lot. Schools in different states do not necessarily teach civics in the same year as others.
You may be badly misremembering the process of amending the Constitution, in which after an amendment is approved by two-thirds of both houses of Congress (or two-thirds of a constitutional convention), it must be ratified by three-fourths of the state *legislatures* (or state conventions), not governors.
I just want to know who is coming up with these ideas? Clinton wanted the Clipper chip and Bush wants an Internet version (in a manner of speaking). It would almost point to the same person or organization doing the "suggesting". Curious.
I thought that the governors of the states could override (or do something legal:)) with a 3/4 majority vote via some organization of all the governors? Board of Governors? I just know that such a group exists; I have no idea how it interacts with the federal government.
OpenBSD on UltraSparc III isn't a mere curiosity. De Raadt is particularly interested in UltraSparc III features that are well-suited to OpenBSD's emphasis on security--for example, memory protections that make computers less vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks.
The Windows machines behind the FreeBSD (or any other BSD OS) certainly can. This sounds like a good idea for a project on my home LAN. My wife will love it.;)
1: If the OpenBSD crowd want the docs, sign the NDA. Linux developers did this. It's not that big a deal.
I believe that Sun has not offered OpenBSD the NDA to sign.
2: Look at the Linux source for hints. This surely isn't too difficult.
Theo wants to take advantage of some special features in these chips that Linux is not currently using, therefore, the specs are required.
Access to the information the OBSD developers have requested is a privilege, not a right. They want to build a kernel around the USIII, which is great, but the rules have been set by Sun, and are quite clear. Deal.
Sun gave the specs to Linux under an NDA. OpenBSD wants to play by the same rules.
I am mostly in the FreeBSD world, so my answers may or may not be accurate.
I understand what you are saying, but there are a few points I want to comment on:
Exhibit #5: According to an interview in a recent Cable World article, Shyrock noted that one subscriber had "altered his modem to handle 100 megabits per second, up and downstream", though the company could never realistically even obtain such speeds. So the fact that there wasn't enough bandwidth makes this better? Okay? They basically modded it to use as much bandwidth as possible, to the detriment of others.
This is serious. This means the company lied to the FBI to get them involved. This should have been a police matter, but the company would rather waste tax-payer money and FBI time on an obviously local matter.
If you modify your equipment to take more bandwidth than you are intended to have by your provider, you may end up in trouble.
I am wondering about cable modems that you purchase from the store. What if they allowed for personal cable modems and I prevented the cable company from modifying my equipment? I can see the bandwidth being stolen argument, but I also can see that the cable company has no right to alter my computer equipment.
I still use it. I started with mail then to Elm then to Pine. I use it at home and work. The only change I have made is use Vim as my editor instead of Pico inside of Pine.
Graphical MUA are too slow for me to navigate. Besides, you can use a mouse in Pine in an Xterm if needed.
I am running with the nVidia drivers now on my Ti4200. Things I have noticed:
1) You need a chmod 0666 on/dev/nvidia*. It helps xlock run. 2) Atlantis mode (xlock) is my desktop background. Hi shark. Please do not eat my menu. 3) The artifacts left behind by the XFree86 nv driver are no longer there. I believe that XFree86 v4.3 is supposed to fix this.
Now, I need to go find some games. Time to try out UT.
It has been under my impression that BSD development is even more focused on server side and ultra stable solutions.
I do not know about you, but I like game play to be ultra stable.:)
Seriously, I bought a Ti4200 which I run under Win2k and FreeBSD. I am excited about having better 3D performance under FreeBSD for trying out games (through Linux ABI support or not) and speeding up xlockmore 3D, which should impress some people I know.
First, I will be trying out the Atlantis screen saver mode as my root window.:)
The MD5 checksums are distributed from a FreeBSD server independent of the source distribution server. They would have to change the MD5 in two locations to make that work.
You do realize that the FCC was pissing people off even during the Clinton administration. I strongly doubt that both Bush and Clinton have the same plan. It is more likely that the same people are still working for the FCC.
I would find it more likely this plan was from the Democrats than the Republicans as the entertainment industry supports the Democrats a lot more than the Republicans financially. I would try to find something on vote-smart.org, but it is under construction (?).
Even saying that, I believe it is the FCC that is running around with too much power. Remember that some of the "fees" that they add to your bill were never approved by Congress.
The Weather Channel is sponsoring ATI 8500 drivers for XFree86. While looking through code in FreeBSD, I noticed they also sponsored some code changes there.
No luck. I am running XFree86-Server-4.2.1 with a Ti4200 and have the random dots on the screen. Either a 4.2.2 comes out to fix it, or we will have to wait for 4.3. This is just a guess based on browsing through XFree86's CVS. On the bright side, 4.2.1 (with some patches provided automically within the port) does recognize the card.
I am glad I saw your post. It shows I am not the only one with the problem. Nothing like building a new machine and having to wonder if the problem is software or hardware. If hardware, where to begin.:)
I believe they submitted 1.3 to Sun for certification, but it sounds like it takes a long time for Sun to accept a Java port. I think the Linux port also took a long for Sun to accept, but I do not know for certain.
I agree with Ioldanach above, but I also wanted to address one point you made.
personally, i don't appreciate giving money to the government, in the form of taxes, and then having to buy back from them what they discovered thanks to my money
Microsoft also pays taxes. A lot of taxes.
I believe a 2-clause BSD license or just releasing it in the public domain would suit everyone.

I can see you flunked civics.
Nope. I just moved a lot. Schools in different states do not necessarily teach civics in the same year as others.

That must be it.
Thank you.

um dude, having a devil as your mascot doesn't show that you're not religious. in fact quite the opposite as the devil only exists in religion.
:)
What about in the details?
Cute.
Seriously, from the article:

It looks like PECOFF support was added for the PEACE project. This will be great once it is more complete.
I believe libh to still be alive: libh. In fact, it looks like it will have mulitple GUI's to choose from.
Although simpler, I prefer portsupgrade. It is a nice little Perl script that does the job of replacing a port.

However, this sudden affection from the Bush administration for strictly enforcing antitrust law is obvious horseshit.
Or maybe it is because the Clinton administration is not being bought by Turner to allow cable companies (namely Turner's) to grow into monopolies?
See. I can also pull reasons out of thin air.
Before I get marked down as flamebait, Ded Bob's political affiliation is none.

The first thing I thought of when I read your post: "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century!" :)
Two important links:
1) Reference.
2) New show.

Even better, here is a recent progress report: report

Out of curiosity, moderator, why was I labeled a troll? Just because you did not agree with me does not make me a troll.
