and even the consumer union said that supermarkets weren't doing enough to label healthy foods!
My theory is that the fewer the labels, the healthier the food. The peach I'm eating has one tiny sticker on it. The granola bar my coworker is eating is covered with labels. I rest my case.:)
1. Taste it. Taste it raw, taste it cooking and taste it done. Taste herbs, spices, meat, fish, oil, vinegar. basically everything. Am I being clear on this?
Crystal.:) You will NEVER be a really good cook until you can identify what good food tastes, smells, looks, sounds and feels like. Try as many dishes as possible.
It comes from "religion" having different meanings.
1 the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. 2 a particular system of faith and worship. 3 a pursuit or interest followed with devotion.
1 and 2 apply to your point and are the common use. 3 can be applied to anyone who feels strongly about anything. I'm devoted to my wife, that could be called a religious pursuit. It certainly wouldn't be a common use of the word, though.
Using the justification of athiesm being a "religion" is a complete red herring here. Not teaching about God is different than teaching there is no God. People get very bogged down in rabbit trails and innuendo in this discussion.
I always liked how Google has a very simple interface while yahoo has ads and all that extra crap on their front page. That said, I do like to look at yahoo every so often to read the extra crap like news and movie listings. But I never search there.
The last time I checked in for a flight, I showed photo ID and they had my name in their database. If they wanted to know who was going where, wouldn't it be much simpler to look at that data rather thant trying to connect my suitcase back to who originally purcased it? Incidentally, my mother in law bought the luggage for my wife and I. Does that mean that she's the one who's been going on vacation? When do I get to go?:)
I guess my question is can oracle be run on a sub 1000 system for real world applications in SME?
I'm sure you could get it running on sub 1k hardware, but to get the reliablility that Oracle gives, you need the hardware reliability as well. You don't get hot swappable harddrives and power supplies and large backup solutions for less than 1k, that's for sure.
And at every step we've managed to kill more and more people. How many people could you kill in a day with a catapult vs a cannon vs a machine gun, etc. They just keep getting worse. Or better. Depends on which side you're on.
I doubt it can be stoped. As a race, we're bent on self destruction, but it is rather sobering.
The main issue I see with the film is that one of the main appeal of Adams' writing is just that, his writing. There's no way in a film to portray "the ships hung in the sky in exactly the same way bricks don't" (hopefully i got that close enough)
That said, i'm looking forward to seeing the movie provided the producers put their imaginations into it.
Maybe I'm being dense, but what's the big deal with Microsoft launching their browser for their music shopping service? If they'd used a browser control on their own app, would anyone have complained? It's not like there aren't 1000 other places online to buy music.
Really, perhaps the issue should be the existance of a "buy music online" selection in XP at all. I hate all those pre-loaded ads that come disguised as usability enhancements.
Authentidate gives the hash/timestamp the creedence of a 3rd party witness. They keep track of your hash and assign your stamp. I agree that if the purpose was to simply timestamp or a signature, it would be overkill. For documents where proving "who, what and when" are absolutely necessary, you need an unbiased (i know, it's the gov't) 3rd party.
After perusing the white paper, it looks like the USPS solved this issue by having the user apply online for a digital certificate. Then they print out a form and authenticate themselves at a local post office, then they can download their DC. It's interesting that the post office is probably one of the few federal agencies capable of making this work, due to their presence in every community.
The obvious breakdown with this is that someone could potentially gain access to a user's computer and steal their dc. What about Joe User who runs windows 98 and is unaware of his spyware? It's easily as secure as an old-fashioned signature, though. So maybe that's good enough.
I have to say that it does look like the USPS thought things through rather well on this one. They made it as easy as possible while still focusing on security.
I'm quite content to not have to deal with another XP service pack for a while. The last one for XP gave me fits on several computers that required a complete re-install. And the recent 2K server service pack 4 took our email server out of comission for a day till we uninstalled it. Microsoft's service packs are generally not to be trusted...
Forget republican or democrat, the next logical step is to form a slasdot party. After all, what else would they use the profits from registration for?

Does it bother anyone that we now KNOW how the universe will end because someone came up with a THEORY that is unproven (and possibly unprovable) that MAY support someone's THEORY of the end of the universe? I'm all for the advancement of science, but why all the overstatements? Is it that hard to get funding anymore that you can't do research unless you've practically found a cure for cancer or ended world hunger?
One thing that hit me from the first paragraph: Why would they be going after the end users first, rather than the people who profit from their supposed patents? It's really starting to sound like FUD tactics against Linux. Why else would they try to scare people off of using it rather than getting $ that should have been theirs (that is, a legitimate copyright beef).
Slashdot Mirror
I have been reading slashdot for years and this has to be one of the best quotes I have ever seen. Thank you.
Everyone believed it because they wanted it to be true.

Rumor has it that "Microsoft Sturgeon" is the name of their new application hosting framework.
It works that way quite well in any industry where there isn't a monopoly.

Another Holy Grail of Slashdot. :)

Never did the name "anonymous coward" seem more appropriate.

Cause it was running Linux.

This is the first time in weeks I've actually busted up laughing at a slasdot post. Well done, wish I had mod points.
