Taking a cue from Caltech scientists this week, Walmart, Best Buy and Compusa have outfitted their RFID tags to read your brain. You will no longer be told how much an item costs, your brain will simply be controlled to move your hand into your pocket and produce a wad of cash whenever you look at an item on the store shelf.

So just what type of antitrust principles are accepted? I would have to say acceptance has nothing to do with forcing-it-down-your-throat, other than accepting the fact your being screwed.
Coupled with your CS degree, that will tell future employers know you know what your doing, and the two degrees will tell them you will take it up the ass for nickles and still be a team player. The BS in Hindu will come in handy on your second interview since you will need to go overseas to find employment. Have a marvelous time, see you on Monster.

Don't forget, you also have a choice to go back to IE and OE if you feel they are more secure. The existence of choice is another important factor of OSS.
Any imbecile in the US can tell you they've tightened up security in airports worldwide. If you have a problem with showing an ID to the gate-wench, then maybe you should be hitchhiking. Don't waste my time and everyone elses standing at the gate trying to make your point. All your going to do is get yourself zip-tied or tasered, and heat up everyone else.
I disagree. Running ps2pdf
to convert a large postscript file to a pdf took me close to 30 seconds on a Blade 2000 - this was writing to local/tmp and reading from local/tmp. On an Athalon xp2000, this same file, under linux, took around 10 seconds. This is an incomplete benchmark by any means, but it raises the wtf flag. For the price of this system (~$12,000) it
should blow the pants off a $300 pc system doing something like a graphics conversion. I am not
comfortable siding with the RISC vs. CISC argument
anymore - especially since the PC is not clocking out instructions at 8mhz anymore, and the marketing dept is always looking for that edge with the buzzwords. Sun is still making some bitchin looking cases though.
This is just capitalism at work. The large ISP can absorb $55k quite easily while the small ISP cannot. Hence, the small ISP goes out of business creating a larger customer base for the already large ISP. This is the way it's done in Amerika, and one of the reasons most countries hate them.
"Lexmark had designed their printers to use a proprietary toner cartridge technology which had the result that only Lexmark branded toner cartridges would work in some of their printers. Lexmark's general tactic was to sell discounted toner cartridges with this technology under the assumption that consumers would have to return their cartridges to Lexmark to be refilled or recycled."
So you see, they were doing all this for the good of the environment, not to lock people into their products.............and if you believe that, I have a bridge for sale. email me.

The same old same old. Don't give me that bunk about security. Of course, it is making me a nice wad of cash cleaning off all these computers. I'm sure Microsoft sees profit in it also.
It's about friggin time. It used to be a good resource, but all it's good for now is research fodder for those people that try to figure out the human phsyche through peer interaction. A simple question turns into an RTFM reply and after a couple more postings, the original subject of the message is lost as the thread denegrates into complete trash. Oh - and groups.google.com is just a mirror of usenet people.. they are not separate entities. I've turned to google (web search) for answers in the longs lists of moderated groups, but it is just not the same wealth of knowledge that was once readily available on usenet (dejanews). Keep pounding those nails in... maybe once it's gone I'll stop wasting my time searching and start buying more books at B&N.
K... when was the last time someone instant messaged you some porn and trashed your Redhat box? Or maybe the last time your database had a worm? Oh, tell me about the time a piece of spyware crawled up Tux's ass and spit out your credit card number out on IRC?

Cool! Let's hack it to find intelligent life in a managers meeting.
Email viruses are going to get rather interesting and diverse.

As opposed to a system choked with corrupt capitalism to the point of uselessness? No thanks.

Sounds like secunia has a buffer overflow in their bug tracking system.

I thought pr0n was what made the internet so popular?
I had one of those IBM Deskstars too.

The reduced noice of the harddrive swapping after it comes to a grinding halt can cut down the noise by 50%.... Anyone have a mirror?
sheesh.

> they create a fake level of trust.
Yes, but they generate a *huge* volume of capital and this is what drives the interweb now.
eg: A server that can predict it's own slashdotting.
