Even IF PJ was found to be a fictitious character, how would trusting that her articles are truthful be any different from trusting that Betty Crocker's recipes are genuine recipes?
That is $150 per infected computer. I don't even want to get into what you will probably have to do in order to prove that you got infected. How many people won't even know that they have been rooted?
In 2003 Sun licensed software from SCO's Unix System V Release 4 for use with Intel processors. Sun acquired a System V license for Sparc processors in 1994 (which was first used by Sun with Solaris 2.5). When Sun "outright purchased the right to use Unix" in 1994 they had actually been granted a perpetual license when AT&T sold USL to Novell. At one time AT&T owned a significant share of Sun and Sun had a hand in developing System V.
"If SCO have developed the opinion that "OSes like HP-US (sic) and Solaris are derivatives of code that they 'own'"
SCO IS right about HP-UX and Solaris containing derivatives of the code that they claim to own; and HP and Sun pay license fees to SCO to use that code. Almost all of the license fees that SCO collects are supposed to be turned over to Novell, which is the real owner of the code formerly known as UNIX.
Many moons ago I worked for AT&T and used many dumb terminals. Most were either AT&T/Teletype 3270 clones or were vt100 terminals. One particular terminal I worked on did windowing and supported several different async protocols. Another type of sort of dumb terminal was attached to an HP minicomputer, the terminal had two small tape drives in it and the operator could run programs from the tapes.
I now work for a different company and support over 200 SunRay stations.
>> "I'd imagine they'll go after the Georgia ISPs for helping to break the law..."
They can't do that. The only thing they could do would be to force the ISPs to block myspace.
>> "It can't exactly be prosecuted on a federal level (I hope I'm using the right terminology here, I'm not from the US) because there is no law that has been broken."
Proper term. Yup, it would be a state law, not a Federal law. I have absolutely NO idea how myspace could be expected to enforce such a law.
>> "The laws are already pretty absurd when it comes to censorship, this is just expanding into the infinite democracy of the internet."
They have already been spread into the internet. Other than the obvious China and Saudi Arabia, many other countries also do internet censorship.
>> "But yeah, this shouldn't be done. Teenagers have rights too."
Teenagers have absolutely NO rights other than those rights that the government and their parents allow them to have. In most cases in the US children do not achieve the age of majority until the age of 18.
>> "Who says that the moment you turn 18 you don't have to do this?"
The people who elected the people who make the laws.
>> "Education, not terrible laws should be the force driving people to understand the implications of posting stuff on myspace."
I don't believe that education will work, and I am not sure if such education could be funded.
>> "And anyway, myspace will never give in. Murdoch is a greedy bastard, a blip on his empire will mean nothing."
Yup, although I don't think that there is anything for him to give in to.
10.000 square feet for a datacenter is not very impressive. The datacenter that I work in did a relatively modest 100,000 square foot EXPANSION which was the result of absorbing an adjoining atrium. I suspect that the power equipment and air handlers may take up 10,000 square feet.
You were truly fortunate that you went to a school where you did not personally see anyone get bullied, or perhaps it is because you were the one doing the bullying. You are also gifted with the ability to devine what sort of replies that poster was going after. My, what a charmed life you must lead.
The practicality of windmills would depend upon where you live. Some issues that you may encounter with windmills that you are much likely to have with photovoltaics: zoning, noise, homeowners association rules, liability insurance, covenants. I am assuming that the availability of sun or wind is adequate to operate either and that proper mounting provisions are available for either.
EVERY program has to either default or ask the user what to do for every option. If you produce a popup and ask the user how they want to have an option set, they are just going to get confused and annoyed, and select the default (usually by just pressing whatever button appears will get rid of the popup). From what I have noticed, Firefox defaults are pretty intuitive.
If you don't like the defaults, change the options.
Christ, am I glad the US didn't adopt that monetary system; we'd still be using it.
The US still has kids who can't figure out that there are 12 inches in a foot, 128 ounces in a gallon, and why a meter can't just be 40 inches long. One still commonly used British measuring unit that I find interesting is the stone, pity that it never caught on in the US (1 stone = 14 pounds = 6.35 kilograms).
Manufacturers used to take care of the drivers problem by including an OEM version of Windows and a separate CD that included the required drivers and accessory applications. Some of the accessory applications were crapware and some were actually useful programs.
It is more like I said that I am tired of trying to keep the dogs from pissing in the town's well, and I don't give a fuck any more. I seriously doubt that I would use more energy or other resources in the next ten years than the majority of Americans use in two years. Most of the lights in our condo are low wattage compact fluorescent or LED, our heat pump and refrigerator are very high efficiency units, and we seldom use high energy cooking methods, such as the oven; and that is not going to change. What is going to change is the reason for saving energy and resources. I am no longer saving energy or resources to save the planet, I am still going to save energy and resources to save money (I'm a cheapskate).
The only appliances that I feel guilty about are a dishwasher (which is only ran when it is FULL), a large screen CRT TV, and a server that I don't always turn off when we don't need it. Due to mild weather, good weatherization of our 2 br condo, and I think that the downstairs neighbors are keeping their unit very warm; our heat pump has not yet been turned on this winter. It went down into the low 20's F last night and our living room was 70 degrees F this morning. When (if?) the heat pump is turned on this winter, I am likely to set the thermostat at 72 degrees F, rather than the 65-68 F that it used to be set it at. This summer I will probably turn the thermostat to 74 degrees F rather than 78 degrees F.
I used to be very anal about turning off lights that are not needed, and now I probably won't be as careful. Our lights are low wattage and the impact of doing this for one year would probably be less than the gasoline burned in ONE DAY by a soccer mom who idles her SUV while waiting to pick up her kid from school.
No, I am not pissing in your well, I have just given up caring.
In what way do you mean by "MAKE"? Do you mean regulatory pressures? We are guaranteed that there will be no negative regulatory pressures concerning energy or the environment in the US for at least two more years. High gasoline and electric prices scare the shit out of US politicians and that won't happen for at least ten years. The US just increased it's exploitable oil reserves because Bush lifted the oil drilling ban in Bristol Bay. What do you mean by "Whine about your rights and freedoms"? US politicians aren't gonna fuck with a person's right to waste energy or other resources, there's no profit in doing that. You are welcome to do whatever you want with the planet after I am gone. I made energy conservation and the environment my problem long ago; now it's your problem, sonny.
I have a Series 2 TiVo and a Series 3 TiVo (HD-TiVo). The HD-TiVo has two HD/digital CableCards. I can record three programs at a time, I can listen to web radio stations, and I can get quite a bit of Internet content. All of this and more (including the TV) can be controlled with one easy to use peanut shaped remote.
I demonstrated in the 1970 Earth Day and for over 36 years I did all that I could do to conserve energy. I recycled and I did most of things that I thought that I should do to be ecologically kind the planet. All of the conservation and ecological efforts that I have made during the past 36 years have made NO difference. Although many of our waterways have been cleaned up and the air quality in some cities has gotten better; overall the Earth is MUCH worse off now than it was in 1970. I am getting older now and have maybe 10 to 20 years left -- I don't give a fuck any more what happens to planet Earth, why should I?
I like warm weather during December and January. I like the fact that food and energy are relatively cheap, even though I can afford to pay more for food and energy if I have to. I doubt that the environment will have gone completely to hell in the next 20 years. Sure, I will still do the conservation and ecological things that are habits, but those habits will fade over time. I won't be buying an SUV, but my home's thermostat will be a few degrees warmer in the winter and a few degrees cooler in the summer. I won't feel guilty using more paper towels than I really need to, or washing only a half load of clothes. I won't make an extra trip back to turn off a (high efficiency compact flourescent) light that I left on, why should I?

I might buy a Zune if there was hack that neutered the DRM, but I would NEVER use the word "squirt" in relation to the Zune.
