Now if only my file server (PIII 866, 384Meg, 160Gig) would recognize large hard drives (BIOS doesn't, and Intel doesn't have a BIOS version that does)..yes, the 160Gig looks like a 127Gig to this machine. All the backups are filling up the drive!
Personally I don't understand why universities and schools all over the world aren't switching all their desktops to Linux. How many billions of taxpayers money is being spent on Microsoft software that could be better spent elsewhere?
I think it's an unjustified fear of support expense and replacement costs for legacy applications that are holding lots of schools/unis back from adopting Linux.
You know what they say: You made this world. Now live in it. The enemy is in the mirror.
No, not true. The majority of us elected the people who take kickbacks to allow this world to become what it is. The enemy is sitting in a big leather chair being overpaid to ignore his constituents in favour of his campaign contributors. Sadly, the one part of your post that is true is that we have to live through it anyway.
Wow, you rounded all the bases of the frothy-mouthed pseudo-patriot in that anusload. Lets have a closer look at the tools a tool like this uses....
Wake up Jack ass There's always room for a snappy introduction using the biggest words you can spell!
if you don't think there is a problem with terrorist blowing up people all over the world a good shill will paint the op as a supporter of the terrorist's actions,
start reading something other than slashdot and it's always helpful to suggest the op is lacking in sources when trying to smear them.... right?
The american people elected him and would again if the elections were held today. I recall the elections were heavily disputed with votes not being counted from some areas and completely lost from others. Once again, a half truth posing as fact wrapped in the conjecture of a halfwit's guess at how the US would vote today. Honestly, I suspect this type couldn't guess how many toes are on his feet without asking his Sister-Wife to cut off his shoes. LOL
Get your head out the sand and your own ass. Ah, the old "insult sandwich". Sir yes Sir!
Impeach the president for protecting america from attacks, huh???? No, impeach him for breaking a law that is written in black and white. This is a great example of how unfocussed the one eye of a pseudo-patriot can be.... LOL. If Boosh was intersted in protecting the US he would have gone to war when he was drafted like all the other citizens who didn't have powerful daddies! Instead he chose to dodge the draft and bypass the same sacrifice he expects of the youth of today to make.
No one except a few liberals\dems think the president broke the law First minimise the infraction by suggesting only a few insignificants are upset...
and if it is breaking the law, then the laws will be changed; as sugested by the dems themselves. backpedalling, no matter how weak and ineffectual, is a must when supporting the corrupt. the law is the law until it's changed,. Full stop. This is how we keep social order.
Monitoring terrorist phone calls to people in the US during a war is just common sense you idiot. Ah, when you invoke the 'T' Word you can transform a US citizen into a terrorist. Reminds me of Salem. When they applied the 'W' word, perfectly normal people become bloodthirsty halfwits ready to burn the innocent at the stake on the sayso of dishonest self-serving authorities (not surprisingly religious ones... the most self serving of them all). Amusing that our favourite good old boy holds himself up as a paragon of religious goodness and and paints the opposition as evil baby eaters. George and Osama have both blown up their fair share of fully populated child minding centers and should both be tied to the same rock and thrown in the ocean, to protect the children..... think of the children!!!!;)
Go join the Talaban. And finally the staple of the lesser frothy-mouthed pseudo-patriot.... paint the op in the enemy's colors.
Bravo, you have rounded all the bases and scored a homerun for pickup drivin, flannel wearin pseudo-patriots everywhere yeeeehaaarrrrrrrr. In 10 years time you will cringe at how pitifully easy it was for even the weakest propaganda to subvert your will. Sad.
This post was modded insightful, for the last week but now it's a troll? Sounds like a few mods might have seen some of themselves in the parent I described above and didn't like it!! LOL.
Please read the original article before writing such rubbish. Slashdot got it wrong - we are NOT suing them!!!
No, you're not sueing them, only impotently threatening to. Here's a copy of the threatening complaint you issued to a company that is trying to protect it's users from peeping toms using your software to invade their privacy:
Reason for submission:
If you read the copyright agreement when you downloaded or ran our
program you will see that Anti-spyware publishers/software houses are
NOT allowed to download, run or examine the software in any way. By
doing so you are breaking EU copyright law, this is a criminal
offence. Please remove our program from your detection list or we
will be forced to take action against you. Thankyou,

I scoff at your indignant reply to the parent, given your deceptively omitted hostile legal intentions.
Unreal. Let me explain the other side for those too one eyed and ignorant to consider it themselves.
Disrespectful nasty little child who has inadequate parent(s). As his parents spend too much time drunk, drugged or absent, they never got around to instilling any values into him. So little darling Johnny goes off to school every day to make life hell for everyone in his own personal ethical void.
He decides to slander a person working at the school by writing insulting things about them in his guestbook then goes around the school instructing people to go to the site and check out what he wrote about old Mr XYZ.
He is confronted by XYZ and responds aggressively and defiantly. If this was your wife or son being slandered and ridiculed at school as a direct result, would your heart stop bleeding for this impudent curr of a child? I would suspect so since the only thing that forces empathy on the selfish is experience.
Next little Johnny goes home and cries to Mommy or Daddy about how Mr XYZ was so mean to him. Mummy or Daddy, racked with guilt about how much they neglect their child in pursuit of their own interests, massively over-react and fail to consider that their child is only telling them HALF THE STORY, JUST LIKE THIS ARTICLE.
This message was written with the express purpose of prying open the "other" eye of civil libitarians.
This is a prime example of why you don't want to be a smart ass to these sorts of questions; if you're wrong, you end up looking like a dumb ass instead...
It seems all who posted to this thread were some variety of ass. Dumb ass, crawling up the potential boss' ass, elitist jackass etc etc
I like Sci-Fi movies, like most of us. Part of the reason I've remained ignorant to Serenity long after it's cinema release here was
(1) Ads for Serenity seemed cryptic pointless snips of film that didn't reveal any plot.
(2) What the hell kind of name is "Serenity"? It sounds like one of those irritating chick flicks with the man and the woman on the cover looking knowingly at each other. You know the ones. They have an outgoing diamond in the rough guy meets a conservative girls, or vice versa, and they eventually meet in the middle of their differences and fall in love...... blechhhh...
I only really took notice of Serenity when I heard a movie review on radio when I was driving. The discussion about the movie made me want to see it. The cryptic film clip used in TV advertising is why I missed the boat. Maybe it's why the mainstream didn't come out to see it.
there will always be some new hack straight out of some college course who dives in and gets the job done, but manages to totally screw up the whole system you and the senior programmers had in place
Inadequate or non-existant supervision and review of the work of juniors sounds like the problem rather than anything inherently inferior about these graduates.
Peer Review, now that sounds better than... AEP... Asychronous Extreme Programming
Remember that episode of the Simpsons where Homer becomes a member of the Buffalo lodge where members lord it over each other based upon the number they were assigned on joining?
Yes, we have an informal class system here.
For example, anyone with a brim on their hat wider than the tip of their nose should be held up to ridicule by city dwellers, unless a foreigner is around, then they should be emulated to make you appear more manly and less of a metrosexual girlyman (go arnie).;)
About the only classless place I've been to in Australia is the Crown Casino in Melbourne. You can get in there in trakky daks.
Wow, we don't have a huge Jewish presence in Australia so I don't really care if they deliberately misinterpret something I say (or don't say in this case) in order to publicly humiliate me and suppress my opinion.
A single justified complaint per incident per account, in the same form as the offending communication is NOT SPAM. You have the right to reply to anything sent to you and if you want that reply to say "Please Leave Me Alone Impudent Spamming Dog" then you are completely within your rights to do so.
Spam is an intrusion. I treat it with the same contempt as telemarketers and door-knockers.... they're all timestealers. They steal the crumbs of leisuretime my boss leaves me and turn them into a boring advertisement.

Second, virtually every state has a law that DOES require maximizing profits.
Correct, but I can assure you that the words "maximizing profits" are not followed by "at any costs".
You know what they say: You made this world. Now live in it. The enemy is in the mirror.
No, not true. The majority of us elected the people who take kickbacks to allow this world to become what it is.

No where do we have to act for the benefit of my fellow man; I just cannot hurt him.
Mate, I'm guessing you were raised by wolves?
The solution is very simple but it requires a strong starchy leader with a backbone.
Strip Sony of it's status as a corporation. Let them starve.
Rest assured there are plenty of other corporations that will pick up the artists.
Corps only act criminally like this because they think they are above the law.
Hang one of them high and the others will fall into line.
