If my 7 year old niece and my 96 year old grandpa can both use computers without horribly fucking them up, they're obviously reasonably easy to learn and use. Does anyone blame Boeing for people not knowing how to fly an airplane? If you want to use the equipment, you'd better put in the effort to learn how.
And by the way, it's viruses, not virii. Quit trying to sound smart.
That's valid, I stil think that as a whole we waste a lot of packaging for reasons of aesthetics only. Why is it the Power Color Radeon box is twice as big as the Sapphire Radeon box, when it contains the exact same size unit? So they can get a little more visibility and double the waste? It's awfully selfish.
The power supply does not come boxed, rather it comes in a plastic bag with the power cord supplied.[...snip] The power supply was protected well during shipping with packing material and came undamaged. I think that SilenX should really look into getting a box for their power supply, for many different reasons.
So, the unit showed up well packaged, undamaged, and in a bag instead of a box. What's the problem? Not enough useless packaging to end up in landfills? Yeah, that'll make your computer perform better. It'll help keep the price down, too.
There are valid forums for this art form, the Qtopia Event Center in Hollywood has graffiti art exhibitions on their own property frequently. And then there are assholes who vandalize others' property.
Just like there are people who drive cars to work, and there are people who run over their spouse because they're fucked up in the head. There's a difference.
And I'm sorry, but if you don't think graffiti is a valid art form, you're a fucking idiot. I was going to find you some examples online, but I'm not going to waste my time.
There's a difference between tagging and graffiti or aerosol art. If you're unable to make that distinction, I feel sorry for you.
I can't believe their site uses the term "cyber security". Can't we finally let the prefix "cyber" die, along with eAnything, iAnything, and anything EXTREME?
That'd be great.
I love the install. I've been using FreeBSD for several years now, and I decided to throw RedHat on a machine to check it out. Suffice it to say, I won't be making that mistake again.
I don't see how repackaging and selling/distributing software based on BSD code is equivalent to matricide, but if that makes sense to you then you deserve all the Linux you can stomach.
That's why we have this thing called a CHOICE. It's never one or the other. I often run BOTH. What government stereotype does that fit into? Oh, noone else has posted that response yet for you to copy and paste?
FreeBSD is binary compatible with Linux, that's all you need to know about Linux to make things work. Of course native BSD applications are more likely to be more reliable.
Part of the Linux emulation involves emulating bugs in the Linux kernel. How do you like that?
My question is, how will you know if you're pushing hard enough to equal full forward on a joystick? The only way I can think of to know for sure would be some sort of on-screen display... which would be distracting at the very least. Not to mention that it doesn't appear they've addressed this issue at all.
The only gripe I've had with FreeBSD installs is that some packages depend on different versions of Apache, for example. While either would work, the scripts don't know that, and there's no way to get the two versions to coexist. Hopefully they'll adopt this functionality too.
DNS isn't nearly bloated enough. Let's make all DNS servers run Active Directory on Windows, so we can store phone numbers, golf scores, medical records, and political party affiliation.
Then, since it's an 'improvement', we can all rest assured our security concerns have been addressed. Let's get BIND rock solid, then get fancy if you're into that sort of thing.
From the screenshots, you can't see the man or the road to the man nearly as well as you can in aerial photos of the actual event. You'd think a Burning Man simulation would at least show the man. And David Best's temple of the month.

It obviously wasn't shipped UPS in a bag by itself with a shipping label on the side... it had to already be in a box surrounded by packing material.
If it's on a store shelf it's one thing, but if you're getting it shipped to you, what do you care if it's in one box or two?
If every time I ordered 20 floppy or optical drives they came individually boxed, I'd be needlessly buried in cardboard.
It's this very attitude that'll kill us all.
... as long as noone wants to see it? God bless America.
Enough said.

Mozilla Firebird reports the download as an .html document.

If you consider 10,000 "not many", then yeah. Not many packages are available.
I would have sworn I'd read that exact same list somewhere else in the past. If that's not the case, I apologise.
So FreeBSD can run FreeBSD and Linux apps, while Linux can ONLY run Linux apps.
How is this an advantage for Linux again?
Ok everyone, this is how it works:
An unexpectedly large number of hits will bog down ANY server.
A permission denied message is a very small fraction of the size of the web content.
Changing the permissions is an extremely quick way to keep the server from being so bogged down that it's neither functional nor administerable.
Software was designed differently back when the network wasn't the hostile environment that it is today.
