Oh, grow up. This is an interesting, useful story. Even if it were just about stupidity, it would be worth reading -- there's an art to dealing with stupid people.
You are correct but it is also about the power of the Web to spread to many people very quickly without the help of commercial journalism.
I wish I knew, this is too bright, and my monitor is already turned so dark I can barely view pictures. I guess slashdot is no longer a site for headache sufferers unless there is a workaround.
So far it is running great for me. I did find a bug and helped the developer reproduce it and it has been patched. Any program not working by release will probably be set back to the last stable release. Release candidates are still beta.
Hmmmm,
I plug in the dongle, turn blue-tooth on in the phone, select the computer name in the phone menu, click OK on the computer.
Blue tooth has been built into the kernel and Desktop environment for a while now.
Wait...... that sounds like the time I tried to get Blue-tooth to work in Microsoft Windows xp....... ah, now I get it.
Don't you burn your favorite Disto's to send to your friends still on Microsoft Windows? That is where 99% of my CD-R's go, I use CD-RW for my personal install disks, but they are too expensive to mail out.
No, You mean MS should make free viewers that work on more than just Microsoft Windows. I don't even see a Mac version. Either that or release the formats so that it doesn't have to be reverse engineered to work on other platforms.
just do what I did and middle click on " reply to this " and it opens in a new tab. And by the way the post you click " reply to this " on is above your window to reply in.
Linux users feel that because Google built their system on Linux that they should give back to the community by porting their closed source apps to Linux. Of course this did not happen and I am sure some people were angry because of it.
We have to remember that Google does pay for Linux apps through bounties so they are giving something back. I doubt we will see real ports until a killer worm takes out 50% of all Microsoft Windows boxes.
Any one know how to view that site with no-script in Firefox. It starts to render the page then redirects me and in big red letters say my browser does do scripts.
Wait!, is this a MS page, they probably read my OS and figured I didn't need to read about it.
Since viruses are user installed either by clicking on an insecure executable or installing a program that a virus has attached to, MS is not to blame.
Of course MS is to blame if they don't make it hard to run as root/admin or don't warn when a file is a different type than the extension suggests. Since I don't use MS products I don't know if the warn about extensions that try to trick users like Gnome on Ubuntu does. I believe from many comments on/. that they do automatically set new users as admin. I guess I need to try that server 2003 trial for Unix admins that I have lying around and see how the other 1/2 live.
I was going to send this as a message but you haven't started a journal yet.
1) it isn't internally consistant:
Read Matt 28, Mark 16, Luke 24, John 20-21, Acts 1:3-12 I Corinthians 15:3-8
It contradicts itself never mind the rest of reality!
Can you point out where? All the accounts are written for different audiences. There were many different levels of education at the time, and some were written to be read out loud rather than read only.
2) It asserts the earth is flat, at the centre of the universe, and rests on pillars
Again I don't know where you get this from but to me this verse means that East and West are an infinitely distance from each other which only exists in a round world.
Psalm 103:12 (Amplified Bible)
"As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us."
Bat: Deut. 14:11, 18 It was far easier to group something that flew like a bird, with the birds rather than teach them about how bats are mammals and not the same as birds.
Unicorn: Daniel 8:5 "As I was considering, behold, a he-goat [the king of Greece] came from the west across the face of the whole earth without touching the ground, and the goat had a conspicuous and remarkable horn between his eyes [symbolizing Alexander the Great]." This verse of course describes the speed at which Alexander the Great conquered the known world. There are references to unicorns but it doesn't say they exist at the time they were written about. Animals do go extinct.
Giants: Genesis 6:4 Giants ( very large people exist today), but these may have been bigger, and perished in the flood. I know it seems hard to believe just as the thought that huge lizards once roamed the earth.
Stars Fall: Revelation 6:13-16
Since this is about events that are yet to happen who really knows what this will be. In other verses The Star "worm wood" is really a comet. Everything that was in the night sky was called a star. It was written with the limitations of the Hebrew and Greek languages. Eskimos of old would laugh at how we call all "snow" by one word. To them each type is an entirely different thing.
I hope you are reading a modern translation that tries to correctly translate the Hebrew and Greek to English. New American Standard is good, The Amplified Bible is better. Learning ancient Greek and Hebrew and reading the oldest texts is best but not possible for all.
The Miracles in the Bible cannot be proved either way. Just as what someone said cannot be proved. I am talking about the historical information in the Bible such as city's, countries and their rulers. Even if what someone said is quoted by other people does not prove that they said it.
As for the Bible being changed later, I agree, only the oldest texts can be trusted. The so called Christian religion of today is nothing more than men's attempt to gain power by distorting the truth.
From now on, we should only speak of the 'Christianity theory' and the 'Islamic theory', as neither is scientifically proven. For some reason however, I have the feeling that the 'theory' zealots won't like this...
Are you talking about whether Jesus and Muhammad actually lived and did what the Bible and Koran (excepting the miracles) said happened or are you saying there is no proof that they ever existed?
Believing that Jesus is the Son of God is a matter of faith and could be considered a theory, because it cannot truly be prov-en scientifically. If you are saying that The places and events mentioned in the Bible didn't happen ( I have not studied the Koran) then you should know that so far the Bible has not been proved wrong ( and no the Bible never said that mankind is only 6 thousand years old).
This is not a worm, but a virus, and MS is not releasing a patch, but an updated virus definition.
Viruses are not caused by a system flaw but by user intervention, that is unless it is installed without user intervention, then it is a system flaw. I am not a Microsoft user but I see no fault they are doing.
Why the Chinese link didn't work for me. I could see everything that was suppose to be block. I see the reason now is because I am the worlds worst speller.
Strange that you have these problems. I run Ubuntu 5.10 on a 800MHz PIII with 512 MB RAM with FireFox, Thunderbird, Azureus, Gaim, Abiword, 2 nautilus windows, and some terminals open and my memory usage is 293 MB RAM and 12 MB swap. The speed of the desktop is comparable to an XP box in the 2+ GHz range. It sounds like you have a memory leakage problem. You shouldn't swap much unless you are editing huge files or running very large programs.
Why not just remove all unnecessary drivers from the OS? You can't use a USB drive if you can't mount it. Have CD-RW drives mounted as read only to prevent burning, and remove all burning programs to be even more safe. IT can create an Image or push out a script to make the boxes safe. If someone is going to crack the root password, you have bigger problems anyway.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, now that you mention it, Ubuntu would be a perfect fit for this machine just because of the color scheme.
Actually Edubuntu would be better, and it has a Green and Orange/Red color scheme.
