Do you realize how inane your argument is? And did you even read my post? You know, the part with that little conditional statement, easily identified by the contiguous letters "i" and "f"? Your separation of the last century from this, while rhetorically cute, is meaningless and if you think MS is incapable of implementing a good and innovative idea in such a way that the market takes a liking to it... I'm sorry, are you generating millions upon millions of dollars of revenue on anything?
In a slight change of subject and mostly unrelated rant... MS groupware appears to be infinitely better than any FOSS offering. If you start saying how FOSS groupware example X is so great, you obviously have never used the latest and greatest from MS. Although, if you do have something that comes anywhere near Outlook+Exchange, I'd really like to know about it.
Joke away, but if MS does come through with these implementations... I'm sorry, then MS is on the ball, and no amount of bashing by the True Believers will change that.
No it's not a mistake. The Romans did it all the time. Archaeologists have even found graffiti from the time which says "I love her whose name is 545." It was an extremely common practice.
Yes, but I still think it's ridiculous to go around adding up letters to find the anti-Christ.:)
True, the Greek text says "six hundred sixty-six," but the idea behind it is three sixes grouped together.
Are you daft, or did you just stop reading my post when you hit the word "Hebrew?" Greek wasn't John's native language, and if you're under the impression that he entirely abandonded his thought processes and culture when writing in Greek... then you're either ignorant or you really are daft. Furthermore, to get technical, half of what you put up doesn't make any sense since that excerpt is rife with typos... but I'll stop now.
It's three sixes. Not six hundred, sixty-six (or 616)... three sixes. Simple explanation:
Hebrew does superlatives by repeating the adjective three times. (E.g., "Sanctus, sanctus, sanctus" is Latin words with Hebrew grammar. A full translation to Latin would have been "Sanctissimus.") The number 7 was the ideal/perfect number and one less than 7 (i.e., 6) was the worst/imperfect number. So, just as 7, 7, 7 would be "the best," 6, 6, 6 would be "the worst." True, the Greek text says "six hundred sixty-six," but the idea behind it is three sixes grouped together.
In other words, it's not 616.:) And it's probably a mistake to rely on adding up the letters of a person's name to find out if they're the Beast. I've seen people make the most imaginative distortions of alphabets, numbers and logic to show that the Pope, Michael Moore, George W. Bush, Barbra Streisand, Mother Teresa or whoever/whatever the object of their hate might be, are all the Beast.
Come one, I'm sure there's a slashdotter out there that can add up "Microsoft" such that it equals "666.";)
I like how the submitter blames business and not the government. Typical liberal/neocon. After all, the government is a force for *good* and its powers (and revenue) shouldn't be restricted.
Personally, I would severely limit their computer time (as well as TV time), then very gradually relax starting around 13 or 14 or when they start high school. Until they're out on their own, unless they have a real ability with programming/networking/graphics/whatever, I'd encourage them to live life in the real world. If they're not developing a genuine skill or actively engaged in something productive (like writing a paper), there's no need for them to have more access than necessary. If they're using the computer for entertainment, I'd probably treat it like any other form of entertainment that fails to develop good social skills, i.e., restrict it.
Of course, the usual parental concerns of child safety, exposure to inappropriate content, etc., also come into play according to the parents' values.
Better ideas: 1. Hit them where it counts. Find out who their advertisers and voice your grievances. I'll bet there are more people in this sub-thread than use IMBlaze. 2. Launch an informational site (or page on gaim.sf.net) and Google bomb it so that anyone who's likely to run across imblaze.com will also run across this other site. 3. And of course... Find out who they are and in what jurisdiction they're located. Take legal action if possible.
It's not so much that Evolution is inferior, but that Outlook (2003 espeicially) is so much better. As I said, I use Evolution and am happy with it... but that's only because I'm not using it at work.
Outlook is much better in a corporate environment because of the scope of its capabilities and ease of use. To avoid being redundant, I'll reference other posts in this this thred, point you to Outlook 2003's assistance page and share with you my pet peeve: Evolution (as well as Thunderbird and every other foss email client I've tried) doesn't have the option to "remove email from server when emptied from Trash" for pop3 email.
I use Evolution, and I've got to say... Outlook blows it out of the water. I like things to be free and open source, but Outlook (2003 especially) has no equal in the foss world. None. Fanboys can mod me down, but it won't change reality. Groupware and calendaring have a LONG way to go in foss.
If he has a dynamic IP, it's simply a matter of making a new request. He just has to make sure that his dynamic DNS service doesn't update until the/. effect dies down.:)
Slashdot Mirror
Have you published the source for this module?
How about this?
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh -m recent --update --seconds 300 --hitcount 5 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport ssh --tcp-flags syn,ack,rst syn -m recent --set -j ACCEPT
The stuff in bold is what works best for my situation.

This must have been accepted under the "Stuff that matters," because it certainly isn't news...
Ah, I see. I think we both misunderstood each other, then. No hard feelings.
Good grief. Now I'm done.

Hmmm... as I recall, I already noted that:

Interesting. I hadn't heard that before. Do you know which MSS 616 appeared in?

Actually, I had to scroll back up to the top of the page to make sure I wasn't reading The Onion. :)
Fair enough. My real suggestion, anyhow (somewhere else in this thread), was to just tote around your own laptop or other suitable device.
Or go to a web page with a lot of text and then copy and paste your pasword in, character by character.

And laptop. <tin-foil-hat>For all you know there's a keylogger inside the case of the computer you're using in that cafe.</tin-foil-hat>
In the world of (strict) security, physical access == compromised.
Hmmm, maybe just "tripe."
Sounds good to me.
I'm sorry, but you've been duped.
Now all we need is a dupe of this story tomorrow.

Unless he neglected to make some of them exhaust fans. :)
I mean, he does say that his setup doesn't really cool things down...
