Hey. Don't forget, they also didn't list that most stable of stable and ingenious of ingenious operating systems "LinuxOne" This article was no better than that stupid "supercomputing" article last week cnn posted from pccomputing then slashdot posted ignorantly. (no, 8 athlons does not equal a super computer nor does it cost $100k in any sane world)
What crime did he do? He played around with cell phones? A certain phrack editor stole the source code to doom and released it in '95, is that a worse crime? He didn't card things, he didn't hurt anybody. He looked through a couple networks. Microsoft has done more ACCOUNTABLE financial damage to companies this month than mitnick could have done in his entire life. And he didn't steal source code.. Oh wait, he stole source code that had illegal functionality (esn trapping, etc..) that an nsa spook had written. That was his real crime. Pissing off the G. The media (coughcoughUNINFORMEDSCRIBLLERJOHN_MARKOFF) was the reason kevin was considered such a danger. I know people during the beginning of the mitnick ordeal, before and afterwards, who were caught, sentenced, and served their time, and have been out for two years now.. including a friend who was arressted for everything from hacking govnerment sites (gotta love sunos 4.1.X), to carding, breaking into voicemails where morons would leave credit card numbers complaining about.. a person with prior felony convictions of thing like assault, larceny, b&e. Mitnick was a scapegoat. It's sad that a thug like ok simpson can get off after killing two people in cold blood, just because he has money.
So I guess mitnick's crimes were as follows :
Pissed off a spook
Was a jew
Was a poor jew
Was a fat jew
pissed off a japanese spook
pissed off a rich white journalist
was suckered in by kevin poulson
Let's not all forget kevin poulson, one of the reasons kevin went to jail. What kevin was associating with lewis depayne.. big whoop, president clinton associates with leaders of terrorist nations like israel and iran.
Kevin poulson was arrested for things from credit card fraud, auto theft, wire fraud, theft, hacking, etc.. but he set mitnick up and boom.. he's the media darling because he's skinny blonde and has a good complexion.
Instead of putting geeks in jail these efforts should be used to giving geeks things to do.. like figuring out way to keep the real criminals off the streets.. like my local state representative who isnt even going to get charged, though he hit somebody on a highway, killed them, and got off scott free.. claims he thought he hit a pole.
Next time kevin should just stab someone and make sure he can hire johnny cochran.. looks like puff daddy won't go to jail.. yeah that happens a lot to me a lot too.. people are always throwing guns into my car.. it's so annoying. people stop throwing guns into my car when there's a shooting, throw them at the jew instead.
gigabit ethernet and 8 athlons running linux in an enclosed rackmount case. I don't see how this is worth more than $35k? They don't say how much if any ram is in these boxes, if it's rdram or what. ALl they do is use a lot of buzzterms, a bad templates based html system ( they seemed to have optimised this page for IE too. disgusting), and then compare to other equally overpriced boxes from compaq, in which they don't state benchmarks or component per component. Slashdot editors, was this REALLY worth an article? Instead of business people like this who are out to exploit the linux market, check out www.beowulf-underground.org, www.beowulf.org and the beowulf mailing list to find reputable vendors.. or look at my userinfo for the url of a decent company (not to boast the place I work for, but at least we're not prone to marketing lies.
The worst is john mccain. Does this country REALLY need another shoot'em'up, i killed a lotta dem commies so now i can run your country republican jerks? I used to work for a company that has a customer which does johnmccain.org or mccainforpresident or something.. very annoying people. A republican is one thing.. but a right winger is a nazi in disguise.
If you go to the marketpro computer shows (yes those wonderfully disgusting flea markets where you too can buy all the porn you want on one low low priced $10 cd and get ripped off by a chinese guy who refuses to speak english but was actually oxford educated and born in london, 4th generation) you can find them @ not so expensive prices ($65). i think they're lame though. the whole crisscrossing plastic reinforcements are ugly. it'd be better if they were uncluttered in their translucency.
"All Tommorrow's Parties" by lou reed, that you can hear Nico screeching out on one of the old velvet underground albums?
"and what dress shall the poooooooooooooor girl weaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.. to alllllllllllll tommorrow's parties? some handme down rags from who knows where....."
Does anybody remember, about a year and a half/2 years ago on here, there was a story about this aircraft aluminum case? It was like 2" x 2" , and stood on a base on one of it's corners. I remember seeing it and really wanting it.. but I can't find the website anymore, or a link on here (go and search for case on slashdot's search see what you get:)
In a more guerilla tactic, what if this had been the same law nation wide? Could you imagine, 100 million people flocking to stores, looting microsoft of $40billion. They could afford it, but stockholders wouldn't be happy. They'd lose all trust & respect with their huge retail partners like best buy, office max, staples, circuit city, fryes, j&r, etc, etc.. Bringing them back down to human status..
We don't want microsoft dead (really:), we need microsoft and their products as an example of what not to do. Microsoft is a prime example of how products shouldn't be.
The sad thing about AMD, is amd is still regarded as an enigma in the industry. The major distributors don't sell systems with this processor, because of licensing pressure with intel, and plain ignorance. What will hurt AMD will be if large resellers like dell, gateway, and compaq don't start selling amd in quantity. AMD's reputation will be made by those who do sell them, the smaller companies.. Such as axissystems.com . a west orange thieve's den. I purchased a computer from them in early december, to have it arrive on january 3rd. When I received it, the cd-rom drive had that typical failure problem (you hear it stutter as it moves), keyboard was missing, power supply was flakey. When I tried calling their 24/7 technical support.. nobody answered night or day.. the operator could sometimes get me a human.
An inquiry to the California Attorney General revealed that axissystems was one of a number of computer resellers in the west orange region (why didn't anyone tell me before west orange was called the pirates cove of california?) for such activities. Oh well, after axis found out about my call to the attorney general they were nothing but happy to take my computer back, and bend their refund policy of not refunding shipping.
Companies like this, who are lead customers for amd, will end up giving amd systems a foul stench in the mind of the average consumer.
Yeah it's definaetly weird having to ask the church stuff. Though the article was on the BBC, and england doesn't have a seperation of church & state..
Here though.. we do.. if you don't mind the zealots firebombing your house in the name of god.
Maybe god is too damned busy playing skiball to pay attention to gene research..:) Plus, if you're god.. you already understand genetic code.. it'd be of little interest to you that others could too, omnipotence would be a bitch. I'm not a follower of christianity, but there was that whole choice thing as well.
Politicians/Churches.. the same thing. It's their job to get everybody riled up about the heresy of the day, be it dolly, the genome project, or the first ape to stand up straight & piss in the bushes instead of the bath water.
I'd just like to read up on it. Do you know what I could look for to research it a bit more?
I thought that they did succeed in creating proteins as well (not to the extent of ordering rungs on the double helix, but did "create life" in a Oops! kind of way)
Genetics are just math.. enough time and research and people can figure it out.. I guess it's newsworthy to note the progress, but sooner or later there will be organizations with genetic kickstart disks and a php interface, so you can create the perfect baby and mail order some frozen spermcicles to your door.
I read somewhere once, that a group of scientists had built a tank of gasses that were similar to earth when life supposedly evolved.. according to darwin's notes.. and they did get amino acids to form.. it was interesting, but I probably got the details somewhat wrong since I think it's been 6 years since I read it.. does anyone know what it is i'm referring to? who did it, where it was done?
Ugh. Saturns... when my father was @ EDS, he headed up a team that designed the SMART system. just a database/controller thing that runs the assembly robots.. was kind of neat.. too bad the cars are ugly, never change, slow, etc.. but at least "saturn was the company so innovative that they created a 3 door coop"...
ghias look really cool. i live close to lehigh U.. and all the little boys and girls drive jeep cherokees ( green jeep cherokee = lehigh U standard issue), ford explorers, etc.. typical boring yuppy car.
Give me a car that lets me feel the road (in a ford explorer you don't even feel the house you just ran over), that handles well and doesn;t look like a minivan, and I give you a happy geek.

yeah i didn't even hear about this.. i love my apex though.. only problem is i have to remember to rip mp3s @ 128k or higher

UHMMMMMMMMM this is reasonably priced?

And he who controls the spice controls the universe.
Of course he was. he wanted to get recognized
by the smaller companies that had their hands in his pocket.
Republicans == All about the money!
The worst is john mccain. Does this country REALLY
need another shoot'em'up, i killed a lotta dem
commies so now i can run your country republican jerks? I used to work for a company that has a customer which does johnmccain.org or mccainforpresident or something.. very annoying people. A republican is one thing.. but a right winger is a nazi in disguise.
Is, will they create a law forcing all mortals
to bow down to their geek superiors?
Well, that and keeping internet taxes at bay
so i don't have to pay tax for buying all those
great oreilly books.
no, trust me. the site was /.'d after about 21 comments.
If you go to the marketpro computer shows (yes those wonderfully disgusting flea markets where you too can buy all the porn you want on one low low priced $10 cd and get ripped off by a chinese guy who refuses to speak english but was actually oxford educated and born in london, 4th generation) you can find them @ not so expensive prices ($65). i think they're lame though. the whole crisscrossing plastic reinforcements are ugly. it'd be better if they were uncluttered in their translucency.
yeah yeah "' whatever. That sucks.. it was
a damned cool looking case.
Wow, thanks.. ask and ye shall receive..
Thanks!
I always wondered about that book title.
Does it have any reference to the song
"All Tommorrow's Parties" by lou reed,
that you can hear Nico screeching out on
one of the old velvet underground albums?
"and what dress shall the poooooooooooooor girl weaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.. to alllllllllllll tommorrow's parties? some handme down rags from who knows where....."

Or more like a restriction. Our personal information that is already floating around can not be resold but merely modified with changes? :)
Ok.. but at least a legal way to prevent us from being in public or sellable databases. I'm so tired of getting calls from phone-spammers.
Damn. Remind me never to go to the library
again for research, I'll just ask here. Much
faster than the dewey decimal system.
Yeah it's definaetly weird having to ask the

These are the gloves! :) I've been wearing
:)
these for about a year.. not all the time.. but
occasionally. they're pretty worn down, but still
effective.
Wow.. now they're in different colors and cheaper
