Smartwatches are mostly useful for looking at notifications and deciding whether I need to act upon that information or if I can just make a mental note and swipe right. It saves me time picking up and/or unlocking my phone to see a notification. There's not really any compelling smartwatch apps that wouldn't be more useful as a fullscreen smartphone app.
Parent is spot on. They are only trying to protect children from being rickrolled.
I still have nightmares about the first time I was rickrolled. It was my college roommates. I never would have suspected that they would turn out to be such nefarious internet predators. I've never spoken about it in public until now.
Isn't the best way to secure data *both* something you have (e.g. key) and something you know (e.g. password)?
Something I know is also less likely to get stolen, so long as noone has a keylogger installed on my computer. Last time I checked, it's also a whole lot easier to change my password than it is to change the locks on my doors.
Is it so hard? A smart IDS can detect DDoS activity, and then you place those hosts into non-routed VLANs. If your ISP is worth its salt, they'll have hardware and/or software that can handle the relatively miniscule task of detecting DoS attempts from hosts within your network and making sure that they are effectively removed from the network.
And I'm supposed to care about the conditions of junkies and whores? They *chose* to be junkies and whores, much the same way pornographers choose to be pornographers. If they are treated like crap, it's their own damn fault for getting into the business. Maybe they should have chosen a real job instead of (quite literally) f*cking around.
We need to start beating the living crap out of people who mess with our stuff. Spammers, malware writers, black hats, you wouldn't put up with the neighborhood kid stealing your bike would you? No. You'd go kick his ass and take back your back.
It's time to start kicking ass and taking back our Internet.
You say this as if no other ISP has parental controls. There are many ISPs out there that offer parental controls as an integral part of their service which don't suck as badly as AOHell and aren't horribly overpriced for even basic dialup.
These people probably use AOL and think it absolutely rocks too.
After having been at a university with an OC-12 and Internet2 for 3 years, I could never go back to dialup. Even a T-1 seems slow to me due to my pampering on 10/100 Mbps for the past couple of years. The parent comment is right. These people probably have never experienced broadband, so they don't know what they're missing.
When all people know is one thing (in this case dialup more than likely through AOHell), they have nothing to compare its quality to except itself. Now if we could get DSL or Cable with decent upstream and under $50/month, that would be impressive. Locally here in Gainesville, FL, there's places like atlantic.net and I *think* speakeasy, but I'm not sure. They seem to be the only ones offering decent prices on broadband around. All the telcos and cable companies seem to have a monopoly on these services for the most part, so they can overcharge all they want.
Because the Math Department has their computers constantly hacked?:-D
Or maybe it's because it costs mucho denero to put in Cisco APs and upgrade the VLAN switches for just a few Liberal Arts students who would ever have a need to use a laptop during class.
The Libraries, however, are another issue. I agree with you there. At the bare minimum there should be coverage for the Plaza of the Americas and indoors. Then again, we don't have a library now, so it's a moot point.:-P
No, Bush just finished the job that Clinton never had the stones to finish. The EUnichs were making loads of money off Saddam and Co., so it's understandable that they'd be pissed, even if they are just as big a scumbags as Saddam.
It is possible to upgrade in place. In fact, the install requires that there be a preexisting Linux filesystem to install. That's why there's a LiveCD. But it is certainly not simple.
It's probably best to redo your libs, include, etc. because Gentoo *does* do some things differently from other distros (mostly naming conventions and where certain things are put)
What I would do is install from a LiveCD, format your root partition, backing up any directories that you absolutely *have* to keep (like/home). If you've got/home on a separate partition, even better.
For your installed programs, it's probably best to just reinstall all that. Your home directory will still have all your prefs, so there's no need to keep that stuff when you can get the binaries reinstalled (assuming you don't want to recompile) from the GRP CD.
Kernel config is easy. Just copy your.config file to your home directory or a floppy and then mv it to/usr/src/linux/.config when you've gotten to the point in the install where you install and configure your kernel. Making it from scratch is probably best though (unless you're using the same kernel and patch set). Besides, make menuconfig isn't that hard.;)
All you have to do to keep your/home and other directories that you backed is simply mount them at install time before you chroot. (e.g. mount/dev/hda5/mnt/gentoo/home)
But don't take my word for it. That's just what *I* would do. Ask in the Official Gentoo Forums to get a more complete answer on what exactly is able to be gentooified without rm -rf'ing the pre-existing data.
And for those too lazy to RTFM on distcc (I mean the actual distcc docs, not just setup info from gentoo), if you're using less than a 100Mbps connection, it's a good idea to use ",lzo" after the hostname of machines not on 100Mbit. This uses lzo compression, very useful when bandwidth is precious.
Also, if you have more than 5 times the processing power of your original machine in the distcc network, a good idea is to leave it out of the hosts file for distcc.
And with Gentoo,
#emerge sync && emerge -U world
The way your distro's package management/upgrade path is set up determines the ease or difficulty of upgrading.

It's actually called ForecastFox now and can be found at http://forecastfox.mozdev.org :)

Maybe I can convince my boss to let me play Doom 3 on my workstation. I'll just show him a /. thread on it. ;-)
So they're switching to Linux eh?

And this is different from China's SOP how? No surprise here. It's the ChiComms doing what they do best. . .
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those. . .
No, but that'd be a great hybrid. Think of it: a robot that will get you a beer and sit down to have a cold one with you. The Futurama is now!
Appletalk all the way baby. :-P

To Slashdot, that is.

Your subject should have been IANANA.
Slashdotting. ;)

It's simple really. EoPoE, or Ethernet over Power over Ethernet. :D

Not quite, because if it were Soviet Russia, other way around would think you! ;)
