It's as if you've missed the whole craft beer movement in the US that's been going on since the early '80s. There is a lot of really good beer being produced in the US these days. Sure, the domestic standbys are still mass produced crap, but other countries have their own mass produced crap as well. I don't know where you're from, but try visiting the liquor store sometime and try something that doesn't have Miller or Bud written on the label.
If that worked, everyone would be giving out the wrong address. Also, people move all the time.
It's a bigger PITA for the state to track you down than they're willing or able to deal with. Since they're the more powerful party in this case, it becomes your problem. Remember, poop rolls downhill.
1. Nobody runs as admin.
2. Make an image of the computer at critical stages. Keep all data on a separate partition. When the PC becomes compromised, reimage as necessary. It's a lot faster than fixing it.
The town that is. It would be cheaper for the Israeli gov't to bulldoze the town. The technology is proven, they have the means, and the results guaranteed.
High turn-out in a particular demographic sector; Evangelical Christians.
Left politicians are usually more populist than their opponents on the right. Therefore, if you can get more voters to the polls, they will vote for the candidate that promises them the most.
Somebody tell David Gerrold to get off his ass, quit screwing around, and finish the next War Against the Chtorr novel. The last one came out in 1992, if I took this long to finish my projects I'd be out of a job!
At least not in large numbers. Computers really didn't penetrate the business world on a massive scale until the last fifteen years or so. Additionally, many of the older IT workers that I've met have educations and backgounds not in CompSci/IT, but in other fields. Some of those older workers may have migrated back into their original fields.
Then you go back through your logs and figure out what the maximum rate of URL submissions was in the last year per ip address, add ten percent and go with that. Anyone what exceeds that rate will be prompted with a captcha and the rate can be reevaluated later.
In other words, he left an ftp client running and thought that it was somehow magically involved in installing some spyware on his PC. I could be wrong, but I don't think a non-trojaned/hacked/whatever ftp client is going to mysteriously download and install any spyware.
Considering Microsoft's disdain for the law, but still being willing to use it to their advantange, I'd make Microsoft's corporate alignment Neutral Evil. Apple is Neutral Good, but really wants customers to think they are Chaotic Good. SCO is clearly Chaotic Evil. IBM is Lawful Neutral with tendencies toward Good and Evil depending on whether or not your service contract is still valid.
"The moral of the story? New users should not be trusted with Windows, or with a Linux root password."
It sounds like you had them running as administrator on Win NT/2K/XP. That is akin to running as root on *nix. I've had a fair amount of success setting up WinBoxes with the owners running as non-admins without those boxes getting trashed in a couple of weeks.
Apple has to cover the cost of developing OS X as well as paying for marketing and other expenses. Also, shareholders expect a profit. The cost of producing shrink-wrapped software is more than the cost of the physical contents of the box. So no, extra copies wouldn't be 100% profit.
Although it doesn't exactly meet your requirements, printing to PDF and then posting the PDF would preserve all of the original formating and would demand very little effort or time.
Hmm, with a readership of about 500k, a $100 million jackpot would split so that each winner would recieve about $200 before taxes. I can think of better uses of predicting the future. . .
Geez, and I feel bad about charging $25/hour for doing side jobs. Mostly just cleaning up spyware, installing software, drivers, new hardware. Maybe I should up my rates . . .
1. Find a dead badger (try the sides of highways) 2. Remove fiddley biological bits 3. Insert fiddley electronic bits 4. Install Linux w/ apache 5. Write up process and post on deadbadger.dyndns.com 6. Submit article to/. 7. Watch as deadbadger gets slashdotted to death
This is a two-parter.
First off, let's stop incarcerating people for victimless, non-violent crimes. Keep the drug offenders, etc. out of the prison system. That should free up some room.
Next, based on how likely or unlikely it is for a particular type of offender to repeat, base the sentence on that. For instance, the rates of recedivism for sex offenders is very high. Not including the poor schmuck that took a piss at the wrong time, but for those that WILL offend again, keep them in prison. If they're sick and we can't cure them, they should not be given the opportunity to commit another crime.
Maybe this means something other than prison. Penal coloney perhaps? If some of these people are truly sick and unable to stop themselves in the long run, the humane answer is to keep them being able to commit their crimes again.
It's not "you" making the decision. It's your pointy-haired boss making the decision or rubber-stamping whatever decision you're making. People make choices based on even more frivolous points than logos or mascots.

GIMP = $0.00 Adobe Photoshop CS3 = $641.99* Which is a better value if you're not wiping your butt with $100 bills? * newegg's price as of today
. . . but I think that the article is satire.

How strange, our contractors wear orange badges, too. Is there an RFC for badge color out on the intarweb someplace?

So, somebody asks for advice on Linux security books and you jokers give him a spelling and grammer lesson. Good job.
