Linux is only secure if you have good people who know how to properly make it secure. It seems that there are a lot of shops where someone with a corner office and a nice car decides that linux is cheap and doesn't decide to properly staff for the change.
This isn't my field, but I'll speak to it anyway:P
One of the biggest problems with Comcasts RST packets is that they are spoofed to look like legitimate RST packets, which are necessary.So a filter that effectively blocks RST packets from Comcast, would, as I understand it, also block regular RST packets coming from BT peers.
The word's 'my opinion' does not indemnify you from having to back up claims. You made a statement of fact, that MS systems aren't as stable. Back it up, or it is invalid and unusable for discussion.
Another point to be made is that kids, eventually need to learn how to learn. Their bosses aren't going to give them video games to get their jobs done. And they are going to be loathe to find video games on how to solve real world problems.
I'm kind of disappointed that it will go into 2008. I'm looking at going to Africa with the Peace Corps in January of '08 and a computer that could run independent of a power grid or exepnsive solar setup would have been great. Regardless, I think that even at 300 dollars its a bargain for people who are in situations where power is an issue, or, poor families in the states that don't have access to these kinds of resources.
Just remember that their ultimate inferiority could lie in something as simple as a lack of immune system response to a bug that was introduced, or their un-luckiness in not producing some technology or figuring out some solution to a changing climate system.
I used the word luck for a good reason though. A lot of technology was developed by accident. It doesn't mean that they were in any way inferior in the competitive senses that we think of today (strength, intelligence, etc.). It simply means that something happened that caused them to die off, which can include things that fall far outside the range of our normal measurements of superiority.
Bingo. They aren't blocking people because they have some generic Arab name. They are blocking people who have names that match the Federal list of suspected terrorists. As someone mentioned above, something like Sahir Mohammed. Probably a perfect match for the list.
We too have to run periodic checks against the names in that database. If a match comes up, we have people individually check other information to confirm that it is an actual match (e.g. same name, different birthday).
We have open accounts with these people though, so we have a significant amount of time to deal with these. Western Union has a very short period of time because it is a one time transaction that happens relatively quickly.
You're kidding right...? The guy is 64 years old and has been dealing with a high stress situation for 5 years. I don't suppose that could have anything to do with it.
But hey, let's jump to the completely absurd conspiracy assumption as "much more likely" than the fact that "coronary heart disease (CHD) is the single leading cause of death in America." (American Heart Association, 2003 study).
I'll leave open the possibility of suicide, but I think it unlikely. There are far more convenient ways to kill yourself.
IANAL, but, I think it really depends on how they asked the manufacturers to lower their prices. If they simply sent them a letter saying, we want to be lower, can you help? I can't imagine this will hold water.
IIRC, collusion is when they all set some artificial and generally equal, or close to equal price to establish a artificially inflated price, i.e. to ensure profit by not having someone else to undercut you.
I can understand that there are some similarities, but this looks like them sharing their strategy and asking the manufacturers for a little help.
He is deviously slow to respond. I live in White Lake, I write him often. Give him a few weeks. If you think that is bad, try writing our senators... Stabenow took two months to get back with me last time.
I was well aware of the possibility of the 'x' being a typo. But it is also an extremely popular error. I'd rather err on the side of being wrong and still pointing it out.
Not to mention that I have a very hard time replicating the typo. From personal experience, my typos tend to be hitting a letter to either side, or above, seldom do I hit the key below.
I don't work in the movie industry, but I'm willing to bet that pricing these at anything below current DVD prices won't increase revenue.
I can't imagine that people who pirate movie represent a large portion of the buying public. They don't like paying and they know they don't have to. I don't think you will see a ton of pirates stopping that and purchasing downloads.
Instead, I think you would see people who already buy DVD's buying these downloads. So, to cut the cost of the product would only take people who are already paying a high price for the product, and giving them a lower cost alternative.
Studios make most of their money from DVD sales. It is in their interest to keep the price high. The cost of media and packaging isn't really that high. At least not high enough to justify a significant price break.
They've turned it into an 8 year monopoly, as they now allow high school and college students. One of the appeals of facebook is that it is only students. There is some comfort with the idea that its only people in your age group. While yes, I see your point, I think that facebook does have the college monopoly and that it can be very self perpetuating.
I think you'll see very much, freshman sticking with the old system to try and connect with the older students.
Facebook has a captive audience that is in a consistent demographic and has all of the users verified as real human beings. Or close enough to that. This means that advertisers can make very focused advertising campaigns to a large group of people in the ever so popular 18-24 demographic.
I can't afford the nicer model cars with all these fun toys (poor college student). But if I remember correctly, some of the Audi/VW stuff could corner much more quickly with the traction control. I also remember F1 banning traction control for exactly that reason, they were going too fast.

Sorry to do the grammar police thing but 'expecially' drives me nuts. It's especially.

You're incredibly right, sorry about that. I agree about the bj distinction.
I think technically, Clinton WAS impeached, he simply wasn't removed from office.

Recreate the functions that run facebook? Yes.
Recreate the following and population behind the site? Not likely.
No, I bet he was referring to the fact that Dick Cheney was using a 28-gauge shotgun when he shot his hunting friend.
That is the foundation of capitalism...
In the usual slashdot montra...no, it's just copying, because you aren't actually having something taken from you, they are just making a copy...
I think the tone of a 6 year old would make it far more clear that the above, is parody btw.
