In a world where the citizens of most developed nations have half their incomes wrested from them by the state (slaves only paid about a quarter, effectively), how widely supported do you think the idea of "freedom" really is? - Russell Nelson
The courts won't have to deal with it. The publishers will bribe Congress to pass a law extending the DMCA to cover printed works. The courts will then be interpreting a new law, not the existing copyright laws.
Hardly. Gates is still worth more than Buffet (48 billion to 41 or so). Buffet can probably access his more readily. Gates has also given away something like $28 billion though.
Paul Allen is number 3, and Dell and Ellison are both in the top 10, so computer guys are still well represented.
The people doing this own tens of thousands of domains and make more money than you can imagine (like tens of thousands of dollars a day). It's actually kind of sick how much money is in this.
The advertisers only care whether the people that click through to them (costing them money) actually end up buying something. In many cases, the clicks coming from PPC sites are probably as good or better than the ones coming from content domains in terms of sales conversion, so why would they care?
I realize that many Linux neophytes cringe at the thought of downloading tar.gz files, but that's the way it used to be done../configure && make && make install - what's the problem? That way, the new software will compile to link with the libraries already in your distribution, and you don't have to worry about conflicts.
Or, if you want to ever be able to manage or upgrade your machine, build your own package for it or rebuild one from another distro. It really isn't that hard.
I personally think he has a point. Linux is fucking hard to properly add third party applications to if they are not installed when the distro is installed
Only if you don't know what you're doing. And if you don't know what you're doing, you have no business running a server in the first place.
Windows is far more prone to having a single application cause problems with other applications on the same machine than any UNIX variant is. Runaway processes generally only cause major problems if they run the machine into swap, and preventing that is quite possible with resource limits. It is far more reliable and I suspect far more common to run multiple applications on a Linux server than a Windows server.
Probably because people inanately understand that there is a large difference between stealing something and making a copy of something, despite industry pressure to equate the two.
No one is going to change the whole email system (and especially voluntarily cripple it) to make hashcash work. It's a non-starter.
The only anti-spam technologies that can be implemented are ones that can be added incrementally, preferably by a single party, without relying on "everyone else" to do the right thing. At best, you might be able to add technologies that allow cooperating senders and receivers to see benefits (like SPF+SES). Ideally, these techniques will actually make email handling cheaper, not more expensive. Ie. being able to bounce obvious forgeries before spending CPU time content-filtering them.
Filtering sucks. Due to false positives you have to read your spam box anyway just to see if it flagged something it shouldn't have. I really fail to see the point.
What most people DON'T know is that the crusades were fought to retake constantinople from the Muslims, who invaded it and took it over for no reason.
Most people don't know that, because that's not what happened. That would be the Holy Land, not Constantinople. Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453, and no western power has tried to recover it. In fact, Europe was on the defensive against the Turks afterwards, until the naval battle of Lepanto showed Europe's large and growing technical superiority.
One of the Crusades did stop by and sack the _Christian_ city of Constantinople on their way to the Holy Lands..
And another of the Crusades killed basically every man, woman and child in Jerusalem; Moslem, Christian and Jew.
Not to mention Antioch, Cairo, and any number of other cities sacked and burned, some many times, over the several hundred years of the crusades.
The Crusades were about bored European princes trying to carve out new kingdoms for themselves in rich lands, and Popes trying to get them to stop killing each other in Europe by giving them something better to do.
lol. It may perform better than Apache for certain workloads, but then so do any number of other web servers. The vast majority of web sites are not limited by their server performance, however. People use Apache because it can do _anything_, usually pretty well. And if it can't today, it's easy to find a way to make it do so.
It also runs on a whole lot of operating systems that people would generally rather use for servers than Windows. It also runs on Windows, for those perversely inclined to do so.
A guy here in Vancouver "said something" to some teens who were kicking his chair in a movie a few months ago. They later knifed him in the lobby. He almost died.
You have to be careful these days, kids just don't give a shit. They know they won't go to jail for more than a few months even if they kill someone.
Yeah, but theatres all got ridiculously expensive at the same time that they started showing ads. You used to be able to see a movie for $6.50 with no ads. It seemed like less than a year later it was $12.00 and 15 minutes of ads. I just stopped going.

use newer, faster, better, cheaper technology.
Then why will it take at least as long as it did the last time?
Oh, right, because NASA is now a pork provider, not a space agency.
Different groups would be created to fullfill every human needs.
Created by who? For what motive?
Oh, I guess if people won't do it voluntarily, we'll just force them to.
Who runs that? Who has all the power?

Even better. Now we can add global conquest to the plan.
And how will this be different from previous Communist states, exactly?
Dude, this is so 1900 of you. It's been tried. It doesn't work. Get over it. If you, personally, want to do stuff for free, be my guest. Stop trying to force everyone else to want the same things you do.

A lot of the bounce spam I get seems to come from Qmail. It hasn't been updated in a really long time, so it wouldn't actually surprise me. Although it does at least refuse mail to unknown recipients, so the bounce spam can't be that high a percentage, except from backup mx's and such.

Of course, we don't believe in building roads either.

The astronauts are more than willing to take the risks now. It's the politicians and bureaucrats who aren't.
but comparing the waste management methods of one to the other is apples to oranges.
No it isn't. We have to get power from somewhere, and these are the only 2 ways to do it on a large scale. Pick 1.
