Not true. I could drive up in a surveillance van parked a couple doors away with extremely sensitive gear and actually tap into your electrical system and read what is going on with your system. Not to mention EM transmissions. Wired networks decrease this ability, and fiber all but eliminates it without some very sophisticated splicing tools. All in all, a wired network as far as security goes does improve it. The only way wireless will be secure if the wireless link itself is secured via encryption, and the data passed to the transmitting wireless point is already encrypted via vpn or some other link level encryption. That way even if the wireless link itself is broken, the data itself still has to be cracked. Another thing with wireless is that if someone is sniffing your traffic, you have no way to know. With cat5/6, you could if required do weekly/monthly checks on the wire to find if anything is suspicious. With fiber, you could know usually on the spot that it was spliced and someone had patched in for snooping purposes.
Some people just don't see the usefulness of a visual horizon monitor. I must say, driving a Yukon (3 kids, a wife, and living in the country its not just for fashion), being the slightly top heavy vehicle it is, I watch my drinks and the tassel I have hanging from my rear view mirror. It gives me a good idea of how much more I can give it before I become to top heavy and roll.
I agree in hindsight it was stupid. But sometimes, you have a student who the school just doesn't serve. What I was getting at is that this takes away from more students who want to learn a broad range of topics. I myself wanted to learn, but found school to confining of a learning medium. I am a very hands on type of person and I can learn rather quickly when I pace myself. School for me went to slow and didn't offer a broad enough variety to learn from. As I said, I was teaching myself topics not even covered by my school at the time (I graduated in 96) and spent less time on what the school system was trying to teach me as a lot of the times I was already above that level.
It probably didn't help that I had some form of computer since the age of 6 and learned to program at the very early age of 7 (granted it was BASIC on a Tandy TRS-80 model II), but I still learned. From the time I was 10, I was on BBS, and then internet scouring for data I didn't already know but wanted to know about.
All in all, english was the one place in school I should have paid more attention. It never interested me if I couldn't apply math or science to it.
All through school I wanted to do something in engineering. I found school even then to be to narrow. I had self taught myself trig my sophomore year and calculus by my junior year. I was studying electrical engineering when I was a freshman and took 3 classes in basic electronic principles. Alas, school bored me so that I graduated with a 1.7GPA and a 1450 on my SAT's that just wasn't good enough. Funny as my math score was a 754 and those I took in my junior year. I ended going into the NAVY and doing cryptologic collection and analysis from submarines for 3 years. I helped later design a portable wireless system for boarding teams debarking from our ship for timely communications without need for a reboard to check gathered intelligence. I now just work under a 4 star and help with computer work.
Highschool I always thought was about critical thinking, developing ideas, and learning about ones self. This is forcing someone to pick a path that may not be them at an early age and possibly what they may not truly want because it will keep them away from things they would otherwise experience. This is a bad idea and I am someone who graduated from Florida. This is a way to make a child pick something, get burnt out on it and burnt out the rest of the time they are institutionalized there.
The BSD's work pretty closely together and if he did find something in another BSD, it could be very possible he was looking into a feature to port over and doing his own testing of the code before hand found this. Is this what happened? I am not sure, but it is possible. The BSD's are really in a non-compete status with each other and are more in a sharing of knowledge of the forks of the original base.
That's a fairly good point. Most people are comfortable with windows at home because it was introduced to them at school and or work. If people use linux at work, they may find it easier to grab a copy of suse and then possibly another distro later. It could benefit the whole of the linux community in the long run. Likely, time will tell.
Um, honestly, the fact that most people are using computers is half the reason RIAA/MPAA/MAFIA is getting so many of these stupid laws passed. I miss the good ol days of 2400baud personally. Tech was different and so was the culture back then.
Why not actually write a schedule that has a performance option tunable. Basically, pass a real time instruction to it to optimize how its working so it can switch between SD and CFS on the fly. Seems very possible.
SANYO HIT solar cells are doing 21-22% and aren't that bad for budget conscience. They put cells on front and back to receive light from a reflected source as well.
How is this modded FUNNY? Gotta be the WOW slaves actually taking a break to read slashdot. This is an honest account of what computers have come to for the younger generation. Productivity on a computer capable of gaming isn't even its 2nd purpose. Lucky if its the 5th or 6th purpose for having one. Get a student a computer with just enough power to do SCHOOL WORK, and they may just use it for that.
Does this mean I should end my genetic experiment to cross-pollinate a Mac fanboy with a Scientologist to produce the world's most pompous asshole?
Mix in a little Windows Zealot and we could at least rest assured they would self destruct themselves.
Least you had night!!! In Alaska, we had to do it in broad daylight half the year!! And our nearest neighbor was a snowdrift away!! You ever see a snowdrift in Alaska? Size of Deleware they are!
You are wrong about constitutionally protected speech when it can cause harm or mass hysteria. That is NOT protected.
I'm curious how the 2nd would protect against airline hijacking though.
I'm pretty sure car jacking and armed robbery and even hijacking an airplane aren't covered in the constitution either. There are however laws dealing with mass hysteria which said threat could cause. There is nothing in the constitution keeping me from going to the beach and yelling 'SHARK!!!' either, but guess what, its illegal.
Lets also not forget that Betamax WAS the superior product. They lost out on that battle to VHS because sony wouldn't license betamax to adult content providers whereas vhs did....
Not a lot of trials that had state secrets in them ever made it to trial. Some have I know. The problem is from what I have seen and read, is finding people that both sides will agree on to try the case, how to maintain the classified nature of the case from ever becoming public record outside of the declassification process.
The only way to prove you were affected is to be affected. The fact you were affected you can't prove even when you are affected because the fact that you were is to remain a state secret.

If automatic updates is turned off, and the service is disabled, just how did MS know to send an update to the machine in the first place?

What about SCO?

Did you get his sarcasm? I'm don't want to assume one way or the other.

Images of Arnold as Mr. Freeze from Batman are funnily enough flooding my thoughts...

That's nothing. My company made me work from Jun6 to Dec10, and then a year later from Jan26 to Jun20... Those are some wicked hours.
To bad the Statute of Limitations is being written to 19.5 years on these kind of cases.
