Or just do what the local pub would do and cut them off. When they complain, give a canned response and let them sort it out for themselves. I mean, come on, you're freaking *volunteering* here, and it's really not too much to ask that they install a free (for personal use) firewall and free (for personal use) virus scanner. Oh look, the AVG beta even comes with its own firewall.
Seriously, don't go gray over a volunteer network admin job.
Well, aside from the fact that the soldiers probably know they're subject to attack...
Hmmm. I find your ultimate question more depressing than tough. "Which is better?" Eh, they're both impossible, it seems. I'd think the latter is much better, but quite (trustworthy politicians??? HA!:-P ). The former seems tied to the first. So, I guess my question would be... how do we realize either one?
Your tinfoil hat is a little too thick. If you RTF leaked text, you'll find that classified has just about nothing to do with the actual incident and everything to do stuff that SHOULD be classified because it gives the enemy insight into our security operations. Believe it or not, security through obscurity has a heck of an impact on the effectiveness of military operations. I know the anti-censorship Slashdot gods will censor me for saying this, but keeping detailed analyses of tactical military operations secret in war is a very good thing... unless, of course, you're the type of person that wants to see United States and Iraqi citizens blown to pieces. If that's the case such a person would be happy to see the details I refer to put out in the open; it <strikethrough>is like</strikethrough> IS giving the enemy free and high quality intel.
Even AdBlock doesn't work for textual ads (e.g., Google ads on search result pages).
Yeah, they're not quite as annoying as blinking "Click here and win!" images, but they're ads, damnit, and I don't like them.
I think your parent post was trying to say that we need something that can reliably block any ad on specific pages. For a while, I manually edited my UserPrefs.js (iirc) file to get rid of the text ads on Google search results. We need something to make that easy.
Namely, DNA breaks down at a relatively steady rate, and after 150 million years, you don't have many long runs of it left intact.
The breakdown you are referring to happens when the cells split to form new cells. If the cells aren't multiplying, the DNA's not breaking down. (At least not by the mechanism in question.)
On the other hand, go ahead and tell everyone on AIM about the TOS
I know what we should do, we should start one of those chain IMs! "<strikethrough>AOL will delete your account unless you forward this to 10 people!</strikethrough> AOL owns your IMs! Forward this to everyone on your buddy list!"
It's not sent in clear text. Just do some network sniffing and you'll see.
However, that's not to say messages aren't being encrypted with an AOL public key in addition to the intended recipient's public key. I doubt AOL is bothering to do anything like that, though.
I didn't bother following the "bastardizing English" link, but whatever it says, ignore it, because you understand the "to beg the question" controversy correctly.
The bastardized definition of "begs the question" was spawned in the minds of ignorant people and draws life from the thick-skulled arrogance of the same.
They do not mix. To be sure, I am an adult and I do both. But never at the same time
I must disagree. I daily ride on the public transit rail system in a major metropolitan area, and I see many adults on the train playing games on their cell phones or solitaire on their PDA. I don't know how far the Nintendo-Palm market would extend beyond what I see, but there is certainly a market for it.
Slashdot Mirror
China would fight to maintain the Union??? Perhaps you meant the world's most powerful army.
Skype says its calls are encrypted.
The calls... are highly secure with end-to-end encryption.
Whether their scheme is snake oil or for real, I don't know, as I can't find any documentation on it, much less source code.

much like my use of the preview button...

So bring on the censorship.
Shouldn't that be "data want to be free?" :)
Even if it were all 50-year-old technology, if it's still effective, why not use it? People still use hand-held hammers...

Fair enough. Do you have a link or further explanation? Not trolling you, just want to make sure I'm clear on exactly what you're talking about.

Though I hate /. analogy wars, here's my contribution...
It's more like starting up a running routine: you're slow to start, your legs get sore and hurt, but gradually you get faster.
Personally, I think it's a good idea to put the original link with the Coral Cache link in parentheses or something.
I was just having a joke at the editors' expense.
Personally, I'm more impressed that the editors allowed Coral Cache links for those animated gifs to get into the story. :-D

Too bad Trillian's encryption scheme is snake-oil. It would be trivial for AOL to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks.
And OS did make a difference
I wonder how much of a difference there would be from kernel to kernel.
for future reference

Deep Freeze is much simpler.
Well, not to troll or anything, but if this law is as successful as the can spam act...

This may be of assistance to those wishing to block connections to adware sites: hosts.
Very well said.
