If the UN controls the Internet, then you can bet your bottom dollar that the Internet as we know it will become fragmented. I can only imagine the horrors the consumer market faces with a bunch of AOL-Me-too networks/service.
Meanwhile, the educational system will be on threaded togeather on Internet2.
"Why doesn't someone tell this whiny little whore to wipe his own ass?"
And it's attutudes like this that is EXACTLY why Linux will never succeed or appeal to the masses. Basically what your telling me is "Figure it all out and code your own solutions, or STFU".
You wanna know something? I don't program, but I am willing to look into an alternative. Microsoft maybe a monopoly, but at least I can be guaranteed some form of support for XYZ funtion of windows if I'm not able to fix it myself. Thought it might cost me, but I would rather go down that road then having to deal with condescending fuck-tards such as yourself.
I really hope you don't represent the majority of *nix users out there. Because if you do, then fuck open source.
For the record, I'm rather optimistic about the OS community. But you fit the classic example of how NOT to be of any help to a newbe in the world of Linux.
...but it must be able to support my PC games. Why can't the community get togeather and create an open API like Microsofts Direct-X? Why not call the Linux version "Open-X" and start writing/porting games for this. Hell, if it becomes popular enough, then all W32 users have to do is download and install said "Open X".
PC hardware is based on a defacto standard and is interchangeable for the most part. An OS should also be the same. I would say Linux is that OS. But it really needs support from the entertainment gaming industry to push is public support to the masses.
Deterrent? I doubt it. More like war by proxy. an ICBM from Iran is not what I fear. What I DO fear is them selling a basic fissionable bomb to Al-Queda and having someone import it into the US. From there, all it will take is someone to drop it in the back truck of a car or truck. Then, drive downtown to "name-your-city".
What do you know. A nuclear car bomb. The first of it's kind and well withen reach of the most evil of people.
I'm sure everyone can agree that N. Korea is a clear-and-present danger.
However, according to the lastest poll in late May, most of Europe does not see Iran as a threat. I'm not sure if this poll was conducted before or after the 30+ reporters got access to underground facilities where they were shown 50,000 (yes, fifty bloody thousand) certrifuge rods to process the fuel into bomb making matrial. Obviously, Iran did not say they would make a bomb...but lets just lay the cards on the table and let facts speak for itself. The answer is rather obvious. And as an American, it scares me to hear members of Iran political parties chant "Death to America".
You are correct. But basically, it comes down to national security in the world of ecconomics. This applies not only to the US, but also China. It's justifiable depending on what side of the fence you are (what country you live in)
Infect PSP with Viri

IRC On The PSP

I'm feeling evil. But I would love to see a virus jump off the IRC network and infect the PSP just to see if it can be done. Why not? The worst that would happen is you lose your saved game data.
The human brain has much more in common with that of a dolphins then in comparison to a computer. Yet, the way a dolphin thinks and understands is totally alien to us. Hence, we can't interact with them too well.
That said, I expect computers to be self aware but in a way totally unlike us humans. In fact, they might already be self aware and we just can't see it at their logical level.
Even better, I can get two sticks and rub them togeather and create fire. It's not that hard to cause arson and burn down compleate houses or buildings and trap people in a firey hell.
Fact is, death has always been cheap, and life is expensive.
It can be a vet killer, but not unless you dump some serious money on WRX turbo mods. Also, pitting up tuned WRX vs stock Z06 will very greatly when dragging on 1/8th or 1/4 mile runs.
If I could afford it, I would take a stock Z06 any day. It's an awsome American machine to behold with extras to boot. But I must admit, watching all four tires light up in smoke off the line is rather impressive for an AWD car.
E85 fuel will be the perfect for the migration. Current cars that are "fuel flex" will take any mixure of gasoline and E-85 and wont be a bother to the driver or cause for worry. In fact, E-85 is nothing but 15% gas and 85% ethanol hence it's name.
Though only a select few cars are certified to use E-85, basically any car can run the stuff provider you have higher flow fuel injectors, fuel lines and tank that wont corrode, different O2 sensors, and a modified fuel map in the ECU. Not that hard of a conversion, but it can be done for around 2 to 3 grand I would imagine. And you can be sure there will be a huge aftermarket for these conversions once gas gets very expensive.
Could it be that us Americans LOVE a nice beefy engine loaded with top end horse power?? I mean, you need to keep it fed with fuel right. And thus, we consume oil knowingly
So what's wrong if the oil companies what to sell us their product in a free market?
Dude, he could plaster every square inch of the walls in his house with plasma screens and it STILL would NOT put a dent in his wallet...at least from his perspective.
As a former EVE player, I will admit that this game is rather dull at first. But to really get anywhere in this game, you need to socialise with other members and play your part in a Corp as a team player. This in of itself is what makes the game experience rewarding. That, and the in-game politics and internal fight for resources in other star systems.
Last time I played, my corp (Damage Inc) banded togeather with other corps in a mutual agreement to fight of Mo0 (player pirate group). It became a constent tug-of-war over sectors after each massive battle and loss of life but was well worth the effort.
Also, IMHO this is the first true MMORPG to capture the feal for how fucking big space really is. It really is overwelming...as it should be in space.
People like him are needed in places like China. But well...where the rubber meets the road.
Anyways, I'm sure you understand. Action speaks louder then words.
Note: He should NOT be involved in this kind or any activity that would involve his wife and child. He should pass the torch off to someone else that shares his passion and beliefs.

Don't worry, I'm sure Symantec or McAfee would LOVE to sell gamers their new antivirus software.

Thank you!! What you said is so true. But, I expect you get modded down or even a troll due to the communistic hivemindset of the slashdot crowd.
I do hope I'm wrong on my prediction through.

Sun will be running Linux soon too.
Oh wait, not that sun? Doh!

Ya, and a grand is worth a lot in China. I doubt it was revenge over a game. I suspect pure monitary greed over this fatal dispute
So if OS X crashes, do you get a "Y" (as in why) screen of death?
Ok, I'm listening. Do you have more information about this or a link that explains this in better detailed?
Is the CPU rated at 333mhz but underclocked at 222?
Of course not, this is Slashdot after all. Who actually reads TFA?!
In the world of PC Repair and IT, there is no such thing as a professional or an amature. You ONLY get labled AFTER the job.
If you solve the clients PC issues, then your a professional.
If you fuck up the PC even worse, your an amature.
And yes, you can be both in one day given you have at least have two clients to sell your services to.
