Asking Slashdot: Now THAT's a cheap way to perform methodical analysis for a government agency. No, I will not share any wisdom about how I do protect my online privacy.
There are just as many people out there who would like laws that silence those groups from expressing their potentially offensive opinions.
Oh...and pedophiles are bad people.
Let me add another side to this multifaceted problem: for me, Christians, Muslims and Neocons are just as bad as Pedophiles. Because all of those groups are actually coercing others by force and violence. I hate them not for "potentially offensive opinions", but for their actual violence and crimes against humanity already exhibited. In the sense of elementary difference between potentiality and actuality, as defined in ancient greek philosophy.
Fake Slashdot, too...

In China, they have a fake Slashdot, see slashdot.cn, registered to jesse.webmaster@gmail.com. The website even keeps crashing my firefox-1.5.0.2 on linux box.
Funny then that the NSA's contributors list [nsa.gov] for SELinux includes as many/more references to Red Hat and Debian as Gentoo.
That's not funny at all. You forgot to mention these are EXTERNAL contributors to SELinux, while Gentoo/SELinux is used internally by NSA, as well as supported by NSA for other gov agencies.
I've got better things to do with my time, like actually *use* my applications, instead of waiting a whole weekend while the latest ebuilds from KDE and X.org compile on my whitebox Athlon linux desktop.
What a nonsense you say, with a lot of prejudice. With PORTAGE_NICENESS 15, last time I did compiling KDE on background, I played a 3D game at the same time. And won. What actually prevents you to just restart X or KDE session after Xorg or KDE has been finished recompiled?
Your post is hardly informative, but certainly misleading. Because in the wilderness there are at least two versions of Genuine Advantage, let's call it "weak" and "strong". You cannot uninstall the strong version. The difference depends on country of your localisation and the license category.
Certification during installation. So why the hell do all my Microsoft PocketPC applications tell me they are from an unknown publisher. WTF M$ ???
I flashed Familiar Linux over PocketPC in my iPaq very long time ago. Since then, I do compile all applications myself, so they are 100% "certified", whatever you mean by it. I suggest you to do the same. ARM platform target is not difficult to croscompile for on any typical x86 desktop Linux box.
You are wrong. In Gentoo community, Debian is completely irrelevant, not critical, as well as Red Hat is. Both technical superiority and community management makes Gentoo outstanding both for bleeding edge development AND hardened production. For example, does NSA use Debian? No, they are backing and contributing Gentoo with selinux. In mission critical systems, marketing propaganda (as in Red Hat or Microsoft) does not count.
Many manufacturers often use for their advertising premium photos of the (non working) aluminium model, specially crafted for that photo session, which of course looks significantly better than production line models made of plastic. Do not believe ad photos.
No funny simulation is needed, a math paper refered by TFA contains the info you want: 50 KSV's have probability 0.999, by the properties of linear algebra over Z/2exp56Z.
Do Russian rockets have a magical gremlin inside making them capable of violating Newton's Laws? The truth is ballisitic missiles paths are _very_ predictable, despite whatever minor perturbations they induce inflight.
Technically, yes, they have a "gremlin" inside. It's called a computer. Russian latest generation of strategic rockets which shall counter illegal (as in treaty violation) Bush's defense programs are not ballistic at all, just like small guided misiles are not ballistic. Their trajectory is chaotic, as in math. Ballistic missiles are a Third World's tech today, so "high-school physics students solving the problem" wouldn't help you much.
Hahha. Instant dismissal of 50 years of laser technology.. because your gut says so.
I have a CO2 lasgun in my kitchen for years. I would hardly call THAT a "dismissal of laser technology"...
Oh man, mirrors!
Mirrors I am talking about can absorb energy at certain wavelength and emit most of it on several others. More effective than pure reflection.
Note you didn't addressed a metal vapour cooling, a major problem in industrial laser/plasma technology. It's quite a difference between etching an image on your notebook plastic case and cutting through several inches of solid metal. You need to do it relatively slow and repeatedly. One big shot is not an option.
Should Americans have a power source device with equivalent energy density for such weapon, they wouldn't be fighting desperately for remnants of oil today. Considering latest Russian rockets have unpredictable trajectory, targeting would be quite an interesting math problem. Unpredictable as in chaotic, not as in "we don't know where they shoot". Certainly a 747 is a much better target for identical weapon of an opponent than speedy rocket is... Optical properties of atmosphere are horrible, ask some pilot; so called "beam preconditioning" sounds pseudoscience bullshit to me. Possible iodine laser wavelengths will not be dificult to find, what if the misile surface will be polished mirror for that waves? Or maybe the opposite: vaporized metallic carbide of outer coat can serve as thermal isolation or even coolant..
Anyway, high energy weapons projects for upcoming age of energy scarcity is a really challenging strategy. Water pistols in desert, anyone?
I keep all of my received spam at home. All of 5714 this year and 20493 last year total on 14 addresses. And of course feeding filters with it, so my family did never see any. It takes some 0.0000000000??% of my bandwith, I am vasting much more bandwith just reading Slashdot. More, I can study time patterns, botnet spread and even bugs in spamming software passively on that data set with some interesting conclusions.
The weakest two of my 20+ Linux machines are a 486SX/8MB and P166/16MB, both a laboratory notebooks, with X11/fluxbox (640x400x16/grey and 800x600xcolor) and networking and pretty lot of lab equipment on parallel and USB ports, not just some tiny consoleless routers. That's order of 1000 in scale of spec comparision with my hugest desktop. My iPaq runs Linux from 64MB internal flash and my Jornada from a 512 CF card, both supporting a big assortment of CF and PCMCIA stuff and outperforming original WinCE.
I am rather asking, why is Negroponte saying such nonsense that Linux is fat? $100 project has 128MB RAM/512MB flash. I believe I could seriously run xen with 20 linuxes on it.
It is obvious the money sum is not impressive even for slashdotters here, however the strategic gain is somewhere else: by using Linux, China already spared some billions of dollars need not be payed for Microsoft Windows. That's another small drop helping to keep up the huge trade deficit of the opponent empire with them.
There is no need for mixing KDE and Gnome alltogether.
As I already mentioned in another slashdot discussion some time ago, I run KDE on vt7 amd Gnome on vt8. (And Fluxbox on vt9 just for OpenGL 3D accelerated games but that's another story.)
Just try it: On KDE 3.5.x, click "Switch User:Start New Session" on K menu. You will get your favourite login manager running on a new terminal. Pick another deskop you have installed. Switch back and forth with Alt+Ctrl+F7,F8,F9... And don't forget you still have your framebuffer consoles on Alt+Ctrl+F1..F6.
KDE 3.5 cooperates pretty well with udev and hal. I can't see a problem here. I am using customized secure setup for identifiable usb drives per user. However, printers in 21 century belong to network, standalone, not on some random ports on random boxes.

Just tell them your name is Alice, then.
I strongly disagree with Mr. Gates. I would gladly replace all of 22 PCs in my kitchen for a mainframe.
Yes, let's hope someone will actually invent some in that period. For I am afraid my graveyard identity could be stolen...
Please, someone make a nudity hack to Solitaire...
That's a little one-sided. Let's also add:
conservatives, neocons, Christians, et cetera.

I'm running DBase II over Banyan Vines.
Cool. Now I feel quite ashamed with my dBaseIII over LANtastic.
Anyone want to run a simulation?
No funny simulation is needed, a math paper refered by TFA contains the info you want: 50 KSV's have probability 0.999, by the properties of linear algebra over Z/2exp56Z.
Morse, Tesla, Marconi, Edison... And their patents already expired.
SMTP over packet radio? Decades ago, not just nineties.
