The success of companies such as Red Hat is great. Nice to see alternatives.
However it probably also explains the results presented in that recent/. article declaring that Linux systems have edged out Windows systems in becoming victims to cyber attacks.
Now that Linux is becoming a real player in the industry, its time to fix all the vulnerabilities that went unnoticed simply due to Linux being too rare to be worth the bother of attacking.
One of my professors liked to complain how there's a new windows patch out every day. I've found that my red hat linux computer gets far more bug/security fix alerts.
where do you think the hydrogen comes from? What about the oil, coal, natural gas, and nuclear fuel that will have to be consumed to produce the hydrogen?
What about the huge greenhouse gas potential created by the constant release of hydrogen into the atmosphere? - It is notoriously difficult to keep hydrogen bottled up, to the point where it can seep right through metal bottles.
It is the future but it will not be the perfect answer you may think it is.
Recall that in the 1950's nuclear energy was advertised to be not only clean and safe, but as a source of unlimited free energy.
The US will use the anti-spam laws around the world to their advantage, creating a massive subsidised US spam industry, and putting huge tariffs on all the 'unfair' imported spam.
Spam lobbyists will push for further subsidies each year while shutting out foreign spam supplies for their horrible spam dumping trade practices.
The WTO will find in favour of the foreign spam sources time and time again, but the US will continue on because US spam is the only true spam.
yes have you all forgotten? the US is the only meaningful spot in the world! Ignore all other stories!
I bet the huge forest fires in western canada this summer caused way more damage than this little category 2 hurricane will.... and that you never heard about the fires.
So, you would openly and easily submit to violations of your freedom of religion?
You'd sit there and take it when you are wrongly accused and held off a flight just because of how you look?
You'd sit there with a smile as the people on the plane complain to the stewardessess that they don't feel safe having one of your kind on their flight?
In different times, when it was the Jews in Germany who were branded as the problem, you sir would have been first in line to breath the gas and feel the flames, all the time 'not being pissy about it', commenting on what great service you've received.
No, if you were Muslim, you would feel different.
Who are the real terrorists? Every Year in the US, guns are used in crimes, killing twice as many people as died on 9/11.
yes we should leave lots of room open so that the neo-nazi's, other white supremecists, the many charisma cults, and the ignorant midwest constituition touting militia groups can have a chance to do their share of damage.
Or, in the proper american way, we can ignore all the signs, wait until they cause a problem, then overreact to it.
I bet if you were Muslim, you'd feel a lot different.
I'd also like you to demonstrate your unfalable scary Muslim detector that will have to be installed at all airports.
in other news, as an american (70% of americans anyways) I needed no proof that hussein as linked to 9/11... but would now please like the UN to clean up the mess we made that we can't handle anymore. Especially since no WMD's were found.
too bad that arbitrary ethical idealism also had to lead to so many thousands slaughtered under false pretense in Iraq.
actually no, we license the software, we don't own it. remember to read the fine print in those EULA's.
my point in comment 3 was that many linux users would rather spend a week making something work in linux that is trivial in windows. Thats's great if you like to tinker but add up all that spent time and even a coder from India could buy his windows license and have a good week spent enjoying his game while you're still trying to get linux to recognize your CD burner.
Timothy McVeigh didnt park the truckload of explosives in front of a school, he blew up a government building, and if i recall his attack was just as horrible as the pentagon attack.
show me how racial profiling will stop that from happening again.. and before you answer think about the americans caught in Iraq recently who were helping Iraqi's fight against the american occupation.
The key is to treat everyone the way the 'profiled' ones are treated. ANYONE can be a terrorist, the americans captured in Iraq recently who were helping attack american troops are a good example. Racial profiling won't stop that anymore than it would have stopped Mr. white, blonde, blue-eyed, apple pie eating Timothy McVeigh.
The other key is to stop doing all those things around the world that make all those people want to kill you.
If there was any separation, the president wouldn't talk of praying to god to help get through tough times like after 9/11. Separation is supposed to keep god out of the whitehouse as well as the whitehouse out of god.
And of course if there was separation of church and state, thousands of US highschool students wouldn't be stuck getting useless diplomas right now from high schools that have allowed the church to suspend scientific process by teaching creationism in biology lectures and banning any mention of evolution.
Currently I'm tracerouting your IP address and sending it to the FBI for analysis. By insinuating that there IS separation of church and state in the US, you sir are a terrorist, or at least an idiot.
I'm afraid you're another victim of the media and george dubya's self-empowering scare tactics.
There are valid reasons for being in Africa and pretty much everywhere else in the world for months on end.
Personally I'm more worried about the christian fundamentalists right here at home. The extreme security must apply to everyone of any race, from any country or there is no point to it at all. There should be no racial profiling because anyone, EVEN YOU could be the next terrorist. Haven't you seen the news on all the US and British combatants in Iraq that have been captured after attacks on US troops?
Actually the new coding system will have two labels:
1. Has No WMD's - safe passenger
2. Has No WMD's but with no evidence or any link whatsover to recent terrorism, we want you to think he has WMD's so lets haul him off the airplane for a near nuclear anal probing where we will find no WMD's and call in the UN to clean up after us when we can't handle the mess we made anymore. - safe Arab passenger
My father in law was branded as number 2 recently - with his tan from working in africa for months, they thought he was middle eastern, when he pulled his shirt open to expose his untanned white skin, the guards laughed at their 'mistake', stopped searching him and let him carry on.
Now if you Americans would stop pissing off people around the world, you wouldnt need all these colour schemes.
3. Linux users are lover's of open source (free) stuff. Why would they want to spend money on the game?
4. The average computer user doesn't understanding how to coax linux to cooperate with their sound card and doesnt want to waste their lives learning how to, let alone struggling to make it run a new game properly.
5. The home installed base of Linux is not big enough for Valve to make a profit from the effort of making a Linux version of the game. Think the base is big enough?.. recall that most of us run Linux on a spare parts computer who's hampsters couldnt handle space invaders let alone anything with pixel shaders.
Actually yes you can fuse iron.. where do you think all the heavier elements came from?
.. However, fusing Iron takes more energy than it releases! THIS is the reason stars die when they hit the Iron stage if they get that far at all.
Whats the arguement here anyways? the boost of fuel from the planet impact is meaningless, you have all well established that.
Now, THINK about it! - it was the momentum of the impact that caused the brightening, not increased fusion. If the momentum itself didnt increase the glow then it was the momentum stripping off enough of the star's outer surface to expose a hotter interior.... just like the tiny comet fragments that hit Jupiter, they exposed the different coloured gases in the layers beneath, plus unleashing incredible energy.
I assume that when quitting time comes, you leave at exactly that time... cuz one minute past that makes you a sucker if they are going to treat you like that in the morning.

And you wonder why there is still hunger in the world
Solid state hard drives have existed for at least 5 years. Have you never seen those funky PCI cards with half a dozen sticks of ram on them?
Even a dead white dwarf star can occasionally nova if enough gas is allowed to keep trickling into it.

Actually the US went metric way earlier, in the early 1800's, but you got lazy and stopped after making your money metric.
We in the UK are also glad you don't live here.
So, you would openly and easily submit to violations of your freedom of religion?

Who are the real terrorists? Every Year in the US, guns are used in crimes, killing twice as many people as died on 9/11.
who paid for it? it was all student/intern work. Regardless, its a humourous way of investigating contamination of dropped food.
This would be big news if the findings supported moving the world to a 10 second rule! Think of all the little gummies saved!

woohooo! :)
I didnt notice it was a pun until just now!
Hehehe look at how this has been modded down, I guess the truth hurts.
i agree totally ...
... but would now please like the UN to clean up the mess we made that we can't handle anymore. Especially since no WMD's were found.
