I've read stuff like that in the past so you are right I didn't bother to read the whole links.
The simple fact is it doesn't matter if it was 6 million, 2 million or even 200k, that number is still an ethnic cleansing of epic scale or a holocaust. What I find hilarious in this rhetoric against the Jews is how people who claim this never happened ignore the evidence the US military produced to say it happened. Were your fellow Americans lying? And if so, why?
If you were trying to make me mad you also failed as I have no Jewish connection, however that says a lot about you if your argumentative style is based on angering other people.
Sorry but this is like saying the dinosaurs never ruled the Earth because we only find the occasional skeleton.
Simply go ask any older Jewish people about who they lost in the war. You will find most of them lost at least one relative and many more than that. To disprove this method you must then accuse each of these individuals of lying.
The holocaust happened, however we will probably never know the exact number of people murdered.
See the probes are lost because if they work on their secondary or tertiary attempts then they suddenly become "rescued!" or "alive!" and now the little lost probe is a hero! GO PROBE!
Like it or not our journalism ratchets up the drama at every single opportunity, unfortunately for many they can't see through the fear tactics and live in a state where they believe the world is getting worse and even more dangerous every day. Both of those assumptions are quite wrong.
Just wondering what else you have in your house that draws power?
Do you cook with gas?
How about hot water?
TV?
Cell phones?
I've often thought about trying to move to a house and getting off the grid but we swallow tons of electricty here even with just a few devices running (Plasma TV == horrid).
One of the reasons the dreamcast was able to hold its own in games against the PS2 was due to it being able to do motion blur in the chipset. This was used in a lot of games to great effect. Unfortunately it seems everyone else decided not to implement this so we are left with cold hard static images in things like driving and sports games.
People are actually really confused enough about this AD to talk to others about it in hopes of figuring out what the hell is going on. When they find out it is a movie, about something they had never heard of they are very curious about the source and the result.
Remember how much fevor ID4 generated by just showing clips of landmarks getting the hell blown out of them? Same thing. How do you pitch a smart braintease to a mass audience? By making them think it is something else (please note I am not saying ID4 was a brainteast) or by hoping you get really good word of mouth (Memento).
I used to be very involved in the scene years ago under many names: juuri, syy, ^_, y, y-windoze and on and on. Mitnick was not this legendary figure people are making him out to be. Those who were around then know of others who did much more than him and got away with a fuckload more. Thinking he is using this as smokescreen is giving him some status as legendary.
The truth of the matter is most hackers absolutely paled in comparison to stuff done by the phreaks of the 80s. Even before the rise of the script kids there was very little original stuff going on. One person would figure something out and use it for a few months before trading it to someone else and then it would enter the scene.
You guys need to understand back then yp was everywhere and insecure, nfs was completely exploitable in many ways, telnet daemons were retarded (-fr00t anyone?), hosts abounded with +s in the hosts.equiv, firewalls didn't exist, source routing still worked and on and on. Even back then secured hosts were easily comprimised by finding a single account on a badly secured host, just like today.
It always pains me on slashdot when these articles come up and people fall all over themselves to heap praise on people like Mitnick who were nothing more than petty opportunists with a good sense of trading. Mitnick getting caught also ended a lot of the fun for many of on networks; most people don't recall the extreme lockdown that went into effect on well.com and other community sites of the time.
This is easy and a diary is the wrong way to go about this.
Ask for a formal description of your job requirements as a network admin or systems admin there should be one very specific clause that mentions acceptable downtime levels for service or networks. These SLAs should be your focus and as long as they are detailed it is to point to upper management that you ARE working and doing a good job.
There is a difference between making no profit and making a loss. Real investors don't care if a product doesn't make much money as long as it pays for itself completely. Why? Because if a product does such AND continues to grow in volume the revenue and overall value of the company increases. In this case 25million songs is akin to selling over 8k more top of line powermacs. That revenue is a good thing even if it isn't profit. More importantly even if only every 10k songs results in an iPod sale then Apple still clears an additional 2500 ipods sold. If apple is clearing an average of $150 per iPod (wouldnt be suprised with their crazy margins) then thats over 375k in EXTRA iPods sold. And what if every 100 iPods ends up resulting in a Mac... see it goes on and on.
The point is not making a profit isn't a bad thing if it increases positive mindshare and overall company value, which this is obviously doing.
The indymedia photos have proven to have been taken at different times than the actual pull down of the statue.
What I don't understand is why people will be amazingly skeptical of mass media (as they should) but refuse to be skeptical of places like indymedia which have insanely obvious slants.
I've been telling my friends this very thing. However they don't even really need to have a single one. They just need to announce they have purchased a few from some rogue Soviet state who they won't name and these are on missiles currently pointed at a few major Chinese cities near the coast.
I used to date a girl from the mainland (China that is) and her Chinese friends didn't really care much about Taiwan however they all believed Tibet was THEIRS in the same way Indian people believe Kashmir should also be part of their country. While the government may need to keep up the rhetoric to save face no actions will probably ever come from it.
Because it wasn't about buying Peoplesoft in the first place. The whole point was to make peoplesoft's ongoing merger plans look foolish and to disuade current customers from buying their software again. If Orcale made them look like that had little to stand on they could swoop in and steal many of their customers.
A common misconception amoung admins is that your responsibility is to the system or that the system is your customer. Unfortunately that isn't correct, you need to take a step back. Your customer is the "availability of the application/utility provided by the system".
With that said, many programmers have no idea what is really involved with keeping up highly available large scale apps across entire corporations. As an admin you are responsible for tons of applications and functions being readily accessible, in many cases 24 hours a day. Just like you don't argue with the way they implement low level aspects of their code they should respect your decisions and choices when it comes to systems, networks and security.
The linked article sounds like a case of having inept admins and assuming the rest of the world works like that. It was also typical in someone assuming they know what is best across every strata of a corporation.
Dear editors (and those who are going to mod me down),
Are you really telling me out of all the submissions slashdot gets daily that one of the ten to twnety articles posted has to be about SCO? Is the submission queue really filled with such trash that SCO mentions deserve to go up on the front page everyday? Look I enjoy ragging on stupid companies just as much if not more than anyone else but this is simply played out. We passed the point where ridicule became stale weeks ago.
A more cynical me would just assume you keep putting them up because of the high number of comments and therefore page views, er, AD views the generate.
I come to slashdot to read nerdy news, instead an increasing percentage of articles posted are about "our rights online." I understand that sites grow and change but slashdot is really betraying its technical roots with all this pansy ""rights" stuff and honestly most slashdot posters don't read articles, muchless vote so all these articles do is allow everyone to rehash the same comments from the previous story about how we are losing every right we had, the world is ending, blah blah blah
Er uh okay so I got sidetracker, but c'mon please enough with the SCO at least.
No offense but if you are manually doing this, you need to write some simple automation scripts in shell or perl to handle rolling out "releases" or updates like this.
I've managed and done procedures like this on large clusters before and it was all managed via a small set of scripts and config files that made huge system changes or code rollouts as simple as a couple of shell commands.
I installed Panther on my alBook and on my Cube. Using Xbench to run a series of benchmarks on the Cube before the install and after, taking the averages Panther system-wide is 21% faster*.
21% faster for an OS-upgrade. When is the last time that happened?
* The percentage speed faster was much less on the new alBook.
Slashdot Mirror
Gah. For the 10,1000th time. Apple has been and always will be a SOLUTIONS company, not a hardware or software company.
Apple is about a total computing environment.
Ever heard of a pressurized cabin?
There were 14-15m forced/slave labourers in Germany during the Third Reich, of whom 2-3 million are still alive.
I've read stuff like that in the past so you are right I didn't bother to read the whole links.

How exactly is NeXT a failed OS venture?
I mean, fuck, they got paid cash to take over Apple.
Already happened. In fact, MS already sent out letters dumping the tablet PC within the last week.
No, they sent out letters killing the wireless "Mira" displays.
There is a significant difference between the two.
This is US journalism at its most fine.
See the probes are lost because if they work on their secondary or tertiary attempts then they suddenly become "rescued!" or "alive!" and now the little lost probe is a hero! GO PROBE!
