That's not a very good example, unless you can provide a convincing argument as to why the meaning of the Constitution, which is law only for those in the United States, ought to be goverened by those who are not subject to its jurisdiction. Simply put, we have elected officials to make those determinations, or if necessary, appoint judges to make those determinations. Why should those voices be set aside for the voices of those who are not bound to the Constitution, and totally unaccountable to those who are?
I sure as hell can't accomplish anything even remotely similar to a trivial 'find . -type f -perm 0777 -user value_added -exec blah {}
That's not a fair comparison at all, because ACLs are IMO significantly more complex than standard unix bits. I know there is an ACL implementation for Linux to compare - and for example, the output of getfacl does not seem to be significantly simpler than that of cacls.
Sure, there were terrible games 15 years ago, but the shear number of bad games today is the difference.
I disagree - I think it's all perspective. 90% of everything is crap, consistently. It was then, and it is now. But with older games, you're comparing the 10% of non-crap over a long period of time - because that's all you really remember - to the entire volume of current crap/noncrap that you notice on a daily basis. So it seems like there were more good games back then.
I'd also be interested if there's any useful tools for managing permissions. Or is that still a mixture of DOS attributes and whatnot that one needs to right-click one's way through the file system/registry/etc. to make effective use of?
CACLS and NTRIGHTS have been around for a while now.
How many times is Slashdot going to be suckered by Paul Thurott? He has one basic strategy: first, review it poorly. This gets him all kinds of attention and credibility as people rush to hold him up as such a wise person, who is willing to tell the truth! Then, later, surprise! Everything he wrote before is better now, and $PRODUCT is the best thing ever to exist, and if you believed him then but don't believe him now, you're obviously a lying hypocrite!
Seriously, people, get a grip. This is a set-up for when Vista is available to consumers, at which time - mark my words - he will write about Microsoft's amazing efforts to pull off the seemingly impossible and deliver a polished product that, despite not completely living up to Paul's high standards, is still the best ever made! Highly recommended!
If that's the principle, then any rule which is good enough for "journalists" should be good enough for any citizen. When subpeonas are optional for everybody, I'll agree with you.
It's amazing to me that when Apple was going after a reporter, requesting that the court compel him to reveal his sources for use in a civil case, most posters supported Apple. Now, when the prosecutor requests the court compel a reporter to reveal his sources for use in a criminal case, it's a constitutional violation.
That's what the military and most "with it" government organization use. I've also adopted myself because (a) it is completely unambiguous and (b) I'm an asshole.
Microsoft is opposed to any competition that is detrimental to their cash flow.
It just so happens that competition among hardware manufacturers was good for Microsoft's cash flow.
The fact that they "forced" competition by making hardware vendors support their OSes is not a good thing.
They didn't make hardware vendors support their OS, the hardware vendors chose to support the OS because it provided access to the largest pool of consumers. Why is that a bad thing?
There's absolutely no need to put it in the installer, because if you know enough to want to disable certain services, you should know enough to simply go to Start-->Run-->services.msc.
The troops were "abducted" instead of merely "captured" because they were inside of their own political borders and not actively conducting any particular campaign against Lebanon. Hezbollah had no right - moral, political, or tactical - to take them prisoner.
Some party has got to grow up and say "That's enough. We stop, unconditionally, and we hope you do the same".
Isn't that what Israel did? They withdrew completely from Lebanon. They gave back all of the Gaza and the West Bank, and withdrew all their settlements. They gave the terrorists everything they asked for and complied with every request the UN made. So now how should the respond to continued aggression? Just throw up their hands and wait for death to come?
If they're using civilians as "shields", but those "shields" don't stop the attacks, then why are they still using them as "shields"?
Because it makes things politically difficult for the Israelis, obviously. Even if they'll die anyways, they'll increase the "civilian" body count so that douchebags like you will have something to blame Israel for.
Bush has the power to call a cease fire, but he refuses to step up and do so.
The power to "call" a ceasefire is useless if both sides are not going to agree to it. No, it's worse than useless. Hezbollah has already said that they have no intention of giving up their attacks, or their weapons. No, there is only one party that can unilaterally stop the shotting and that's Hezbollah, by returning the abducted soldiers and removing all of their weapons from the border zones.
It's not random retribution - they're specifically trying to bomb Hebollah weapons and personnel. It's not the Israeli's fault that Hezbollah surrounds themselves with noncombatants.
staggering that in such a short time the US has gone from loved to hated
This may break your heart to hear, but the US has never been loved by much of the world, ever. Unless, of course, those people dancing in the streets on 9/11 were, you know, doing it out of love.
I should have include "sarcasm" tags. Danica gets by a huge margin the most attention, and has probably the largest and loudest fan base in Indy car racing. I was using her as a rhetorical point to question the OP's conclusion.

Ok, I'll admit I'm stumped. What's SCOPUS?

Lol, what? Windows has had ACLS and auditing since NT4.
I'd also be interested if there's any useful tools for managing permissions. Or is that still a mixture of DOS attributes and whatnot that one needs to right-click one's way through the file system/registry/etc. to make effective use of?

I didn't say the best "Windows release" ever made.
Imagine that! Something reminds you of something else! I have to say, I'm astonished and amazed. Please, go on.

Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays!
Because, for all the warm fuzzies, talk is cheap. Actions talk and bullshit walks.

Did you even read the update? He was using a virtual machine image. That's what the update was popping up on.
