The FCC does not embody the public interest. They have been screwing up telecommunications for decades now. There is no vote that I can cast to do away with them. I can't chose who serves for the FCC. They are un-fucking-constitutional.
A few of my friends and I really love X-Com. I still even have my origional cd. Alas it is a dos game; Windows 2000 and up seem to not run it at all. Neither do any dos emulators for linux that I have tried (its 'exe' is a dos4gw). Does anyone have anytips for playing these types of games besides setting up a dedicated box to play them?
It is something to be treated seriously. People also need to understand it. I would only like to know why he is so afraid of the police having DNA samples. They already have fingerprints. If you have nothing to hide DNA can prove you innocent very quickly.
Just remember that RAID won't help you if you have a coupted filesystem, angry employee, or a virus. Tape or some other form of backup which can't always be accessed has advantages.
Sure, some felonies are really bad but does that give them the right to take our DNA?
Yes they steal your DNA from you; you can never have it back. DNA is not something to play with.
Maybe you are somehow confusing genetic engineering and record keeping. The idea is that you keep a bit of DNA on record to compare against DNA captured at a crime scene. Its not like they are cloning people.
I was thinking the same thing. If I was the sysadmin on one of these boxes that had an uptime of over a thousand days then I would most certainly have a firewall in front of that box that only allowed port 80 tcp traffic for instance. If you put a OpenBSD box infront of one these old hulking boxes and wrote a good ruleset {scrubbing, syn proxy, etcerta} then the box would only need to be running the latest version of apache.
spamd is a new approach to blocking spam. Its called greylisting. It rejects all email with a temporary failure notice in the hopes that the large volume spam senders don't have the resources to wait 30mins and send the same email again. Apperently this method works quite well and uses little resources.
Seriously email is not the medium you should wish to use for remote data storage, try ftp, or some http + {php,asp,jsp,cgi} solution should make things easier.
We could create a few thousand temporary (2-3 year) jobs for those folks on welfare or currently out of work and using redundant strategies for error correction, manually enter the data into the new formats.
Yes lets take unemployed people and put them to work manually getting to know the interworkings of the IRS and its databases. They sure wouldn't be tempted to abuse their position would they?
The cli allows you to pipe many commands together to do almost anykind of boring repitious task with a single command. Here are some good examples:
I want to find all documents matching $PATTERN and display their contents. cat `find -name "$PATTERN" | xargs`
Now find all documents with a certain name that have $STRING inside of them cat `find -name "$PATTERN" | xargs` | grep "$STRING"
What if a certain program hangs and it has 50 children and they have differnt names? I find this works well kill -9 `ps -aux | grep $PSNAME | awk '{print $2}' | xargs`
These are just some arbitrary examples of how you can use pipes to combine of few small tools into a single useful tool.
I hear you, but can't you just do "emerge --usepkg..." to avoid the compiling part?
If you have the package. Gentoo as of now does not provide them. There is a seperate project that is trying to keep upto date packages. You can also roll your own Gentoo packages. I myself would like to dedicate a box to just building optimized packages, but alas i have not had enough time.
I remember back in my 28.8 days i pushed 4GB in a month the isp called me and was wondering if i was running a ftp server. I wasnt so the guy was just kinda amazed i pushed so much data.
I hate rpm, i in no way complained about freebsd ports system at all, i love it. It simply lacks at times some of the binary packages i wish to have, but it doesnt bother me.

Ah, but your excel isnt being accessed by a couple hundred people a min is it?
Not ports, binary packages. He is refering to the precompiled packages avalible for download much like a rpm. These simply do not exist publicly for download for large ports such as Open Office or gnome2 although you could roll your own.

I can attest to freebsd's preformance underload. There have been serveral times that a rouge process has taken up 100% for a few days and nobody even noticed a small preformance hit!
In short it does. In long if it exists and you happen to guess the right name for the package it works amazingly well otherwise you are left to guess the name (normally its ovious, but sometimes it can be a pain), and sometimes binary packages dont exist for the larger apps (OO, Gnome, etc).

Ask Jeeves is lame.
Their site has to be as compatible as possible. That is probably why they cant be w3c compliant.

You wouldn't say that. You should say: Apple recieved about $70 dollars so from off of iTunes from my wife and me.
Well 802.11a, which runs @ 5Ghz seems to work rather well. So I doubt 3.6Ghz will be poor at penetration.

I understand, but these were poor examples i pulled from my feeble brain. The point was that you can do anything from a few simple pipes.

and you can't tell them otherwise...It doesnt give me the pretty colors and cool spinners emerge does!
Just make sure it is not a bzip2ed diff, they wouldn't have the slightest clue as how to use it!
