What path is there for the it professional in later life? When you're 40, 50, 60 even 65-70 with retirement ages rising what do you do? There is only a finite space for manager/director roles so what do all the older people do?
People who are smart will of course get around it, but this is not for smart people. It's for the masses and so it'll work just fine. It's also pretty cheap and easy to implement site-specific filtering and most any ISP can do if if they know what a route is and how to make squid work.
Damn, I had mod points and now I can not mod this discussion.
Look folks.. Privacy simply does not exist. You'll get your search terms read, email copied, if you encrypt you have to give over the keys and if you don't then you get put into prison anyway.
Your phone will be tapped, mobile will be tracked, cars followed with "traffic enforcement cameras". Your DNA will be on file, biometrics saved and your Underground trips logged.
Everywhere you go there are CCTV cameras, face recognition. Your purchases are tracked with credit cards, store loyalty cards and RFID tags. Your bank transactions are flagged if they look interesting and the tax people peer into your account looking for money that suddenly appears.
You go to the pub:-) Cus you won't be able ot diddly squat as you'll have skype for telephony, gmail for email, and the new google web office suite for your applications.
It most likely was not really using 200Mb of memory. It's far more likely that you simply do not know how Linux memory management works and what the figures in 'ps' mean..
I do not understand. Since when you buy a blank media, does this mean that you can legally leech some mp3s and stick them onto this CD, since you already paid for the content?
Iran will get nukes, they will nuke Israel, Israel will nuke them and then it'll all end in tears, you hear me now. In a few years time you'll know I was right. When I was a lad....

Yes, and he's still at it. Only this time he's using his technical connery to con people into buying his books...
Because, really, I could have told them that for five quid.. It is really quite obvious..
Recently, in the UK, there was a £250,000 survey scheme to find out why people in Scotland did not ride their bikes to work as much as people in other countries. Their conclusion... "...because it's bloody freezing most of the time in Scotland..."
Now 250,000 quid would have purchased enough CDRWs to give a copy of slackware to 250,000 people (excluding jewel cases and labels)..
I think that money wasted on painfully obvious conclusions is a major problem for people who want to switch to Linux on the desktop.
[Microsoft] has also expressed fears that making its source code public could allow hackers to find security holes in Microsoft products
But surely this is good as it'll result in a better, more secure product in the end?
I really do not see what is so secret about Windows source code, what trade secrets can you possible hide in it apart from sekret protocol dox?
And who gets to define what a "law abiding" citizen is? It may be OK now but what happens when the law is that you do not oppose the state, whoops, too late, there is already the infrastructure in place to find out where those damned pro-democracy scum are and what they are upto.
Next, when we're all watching TV and doing our VoIP on the net, all have our home security systems on the net then the government 'sees' everything, 'knows' everything and you have entered into the police state where you can't even move without it being reported on.
who post and then put up these dupes ACTUALLY READ/. ?
or is there a room full of monkeys posting articles in the hope that eventually there will be a day without any dupes?

Of course, Tesco are likely just re-selling somebody else's network like most other VoIP players seem to do. So far they do Insurance, Tellys, Voice and banking services.. They will be operating small brothels next..
I would much rather and have in the past purchased a cheap fake rather than over priced branded kit. It all works, is usually useless in a few years anyway and since it was much cheaper, if it dies in a year or two then you can be happy you got that much use form it and buy another cheap fake.
Cool, skype cams in young swedish blond's bedrooms! I can't wait till skype approaches the depths of depravity that every other camera enabled conf system resides in.
Is it just me or is the net only used for pron?
Hmm, nope it's not just me, the net is in fact the largest pron distribution machine in the world.
Of course you then realise that without engineers there is nothing to sell so it is really the engineers who have the sales people by the short and curlies.

What exactly do you do at home, behind clsoed doors, when nobody is looking?
Well, not at the moment anyway. Shows, you can have a /. proof site if you *really* want it.
Got thunderbird 1.5, just deployed it to all our SunRay users, it looks oright.

I have a pink oboe that plays quite well. Has some problems with the higher notes at times though.
