It would be nice to have this option for certain cirumstances, say online gaming,or maybe electronic voting, but the loss of control far out-weighs the potential gains, and to top it off NO MATTER what assurances I was given by a for profit corp. or the current elected/appointed official we all know that given a penny potential for profit they'd sell their own children.
so he's 50 and poor, but the rest of the world is still using his code and not MSIE:) Not an all around victory by any stretch but better than nothing.
of explosive of choice for ALL GOOD eco-terrorists:).
How long before my car will run on a derivitive of this ? I remember getting av-gas when in high school for the friday night drags:) 1/4 tank of mondo octane goodness...
Can't argue with that but since when did the POTENTIAL to commit a crime become illegal ? I thought we were innocent until proven guilty here but I guess that went out with 9/11. I used to think it took an OVERT act to actually commit a crime but now I guess the mere possesion of an item, even the errant thought seems to be enough. This is so far over the line that I have trouble even beginning to grasp how we let ourselves get here.
you CAN SUE anyone, getting a settlement or even a response is a different thing. The US has become the epitomy of hubris, do as we say not as we do.
I'd just like to clarify that I stand 100% behind the US troops all around the world. They are brave and true. I'd also like to let them know that we as US citizens should be ashamed of the way we are allowing our corporate controlled state to use them.
If you read the fine print, if the division goes below $5 per person then they make a charitable donation and we all just lump it...Thanks for screwing everyone else slashdot.
that is a rather advanced view of the customer base, which unfortunately most corp's still view as a consumer base. Sooner or later they will wise up as they begin to understand their market demographics better.
that is the root of the problem, if you connect to a public resource is your website truly private ? I can see both sides, but the physical analogy falls short in this case. There is NO PHYSICAL presence, hence NO TRESPASS, so if you failed to take the rudimentary steps such and POST A NO TRESPASSING sign(login or legal disclaimer), then I think actually the problem does rest on your shoulders.
even mention not linking to them but has a dislcaimer to any third party links they post. Sorkin needs to proof read some of his stuff before posting it...I found numerous mistakes in his posts...
There's a wee bit of difference

between a war, and a War. Having spent several years in law enforcement, at the street level, I can honestly say the war on drugs is one of the more ignorant things this country has attempted, right up there with prohibition. If we legalized the drugs, regulated the growers, the so-called war on drugs would end next week, with the foriegn suppliers going broke, the US government generating huge funds, the prison population which is nearly 1/3 people involved in stupid possesion crimes, would return to a manageable level. The only real show stopper I can see is an on the spot test for drivers, similar to the DUI field sobriety tests, because NO ONE should operate a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs. The whole concept of the government trying to legislate morality is hypocritical in the extreme. Oh well that's my so-called.02, Happy New Year all and TGIF:)
distro ?? Certified to run with Win2K ? Given the nature of the GPL, could they not offer the kernel and source, with additional "certified" binaries downloaded from M$, or do they have to give out the source for everything ?

Who doesn't deserve a trial ? You ? Who are we at war with ? I don't seem to recall congress declaring war, so the BEST we could have is a police action against an indeterminate group without a nationality. Don't get me wrong, we should be fighting terrorism but this "war" is a very poor attempt to cover up a grab for oil. If we were REALLY interested in weapons of mass destruction we'd be paying MUCH CLOSER attention to the former Soviet Union's arms and where they are going, not to mention Pakistan and India. This will be referred to as the Oil War in the future I bet, and I really doubt GWB will be remembered fondly in the years to come by anyone not a member of the Oil Cartel. The rest of us will recall him as the President who sold the US to the corp's for a bag of magic seeds. Speaking as someone who is disgusted with the Feds reversal of nearly every environmental edict on the books, the US is marching backwards in lock step stupidty.
and education before we hook them on the web ?? I really think the digital divide concept just goes to show how little the politico's actually understand or care about the real world average working joe. Kids are starving on the streets without medical care and we are worried about email access ? Granted some of these problems can be partially address via electronic education but the fundamental problems cannot be solved by web access.
If a college student, an ADULT mind you is stupid enough to not pay attention and miss info in class well, too bad for them and the people paying for their schooling. The college still collects tuition. The prof. should stop wasting the time of the class on lowest common denominator and TEACH the CLASS.
if that applies to the backbone carriers then the internet is dead. The government or a large international corporation will soon control everything we see and hear...err wait that happened 10 years ago...sorry move along nothing to see or hear here....
Tower of Hypocrisy that we live with here in the USofA. Do as our leaders say, not as they do. It afflicts the government, the corps, and even the church.
All I can say is we need the OSS community to keep cranking out encryption stuff, because that is our only hope.
I had/have the same problem and to my knowledge there is NO WAY to get them to delete it. The only way I found was to upgrade to the new service, the free one that is and then delete my pages. This still left the broken link redirect but at least my content was gone...YAHOO blows all around.
part. They are dropping their own BSD based Unix variant and moving to either Win2K or Solaris I was told by our account rep but have never seen it in print. Given the choice between X86 hardware with the possibility of Linux/Windows flavor of the month, or Solaris and the lockdown into SUN hardware,Solaris X86 is a joke sorry, I can see why this route was chosen. This is from a TeraData point of view, but I am sure it applies tthroughout NCR.
Standard tactic, I've yet to see anywhere where the FCC or the FAA could point to any credible, repeatable case of interference, but heck, the terrorism effect seems to work every where else why not here as well, can't blame them for trying.

yeah but this is supposed to be fast and optimized so it can't be wizard driven :)

I'v had the DeCSS code up on my web site here in California for almost 2 years now I think. It is insanely easy to find on the net as well.
and education before we hook them on the web ??

I am glad we got that established, I am also glad you are enjoying the game. Happy Holidays :)
