From what I remember of American Military History, during the Cold War, many American textbooks kicked off the discussion with something to the effect of "There are two world superpowers, the US and Russia, locked in a struggle..."
Many Russian textbooks of the same era, however, took this approach (again, paraphrasing, not quoting anything): "There is one world superpower, and they mean to oppress us..."
During that time, just as afraid as we were of Communism, they were afraid that we were going to nuke them if the blinked twice.
Now, it appears, that Russia is reentering the thinking that there is one world superpower, and that they must fight against it. The problem with that, of course, is that our propaganda is currently directed elsewhere. I wonder what they'll fight against when the supposed enemy isn't fighting back?
He was on Fox around 3:15 Eastern (I think. Time may be off), almost in tears talking about how HL2, GTA, and the others prepared the guy for violence - notwithstanding his name hasn't even been released yet.

This actually just happened to my organization two weeks ago. A.com version of one of the.org names we hold was expiring, and we did the backorder thing with Godaddy to try to acquire it since there's really no other way to even have a remote chance at an expiring name.
We got a notice that the name was re registered within a few seconds of its release, and Godaddy had not acquired it on our behalf. The backorder thing also came with monitoring service that notifies us of any changes to the domain's whois.
Three days later, I received a notification that the domain's whois had changed again. I figured the new owners were setting it up for their use, but instead it was changed to my info. We suddenly had the name in our account.
Disagree. Injustices cannot be corrected by ignoring them, or even passively allowing them to continue. Neither you or I should simply ignore what is happening in Darfur. In fact, we have a responsibility to understand what is going on, even if we as individuals sitting somewhere far removed from it can do next to nothing about it (save our governments considering involvement themselves or vis the UN, in which case we could urge our representatives to make that happen).
Google is doing good by raising awareness of the atrocities being committed in Darfur. Yes, they do evil. They're a friggin' corporation and they exist to make money; no one is a saint. But they are doing some good here.
By "groupthink" he means people like me, who were banned for being pro-Windows. With enough -1s, inclusive (not a couple of comments scored -1), you will eventually receive one free/. vacation. It's gotten much better recently, but it used to be the point that posting a comment like "I don't think Linux is easy to use at all. The Windows GUI admin tools are much better" would land you at a score of -1. Enough of those, even over relatively long periods of time, and you get banned.
Been there. Yes, it's stupid and moronic. Yes, it happens. There are plenty of mods who feel "overrated" is there to be used on comments with which they disagree.
I graduated in '05 anyhow. Also, if you get caught with a router, you're up for the termination of your connection at the very least. The policy prohibits connecting anything to the jack except your own single solitary PC. Specifically, "System users must not extend the physical network on which their system resides."
Most RAs wouldn't have reported you, but one guy in my dorm did get his connection cut Spring of Junior year.
I'd agree with that range. From blank hard drive to a reinstall of Windows, restoring data, installing programs (games excluded, that's later), and basic tweaks to get "moved in," that's 2.5 hours, maybe 3. The next few days of full use get minor tweaks here and there.
That's for my home system, though - only do that process about once a year. At work, taking a workstation from blank to a functional install of XP with the latest patches and Office is about 90 minutes, most of that unattended.
Better than the idiotic way Penn State handled it. I was allowed 1.5GB transfer each week. If you went over, you were throttled to 56k until the end of the week. If you went over 3 times you were throttled until the end of the damn semester. Our connections were locked to our MAC and we had static IPs, and attempting to change either simply cut you off. Then my Junior year they banned servers and closed a ton of outgoing ports.
Unfortunately, Nintendo has outright refused to support WPA on the DS. Those who use the DS online regularly must either fall back to WPA or resort to completely unsecured communication. Or change their router's settings every single time they want to play online.
Nintendo's response to this is, last I checked, "well, disable WEP and then turn off your computer," which is obviously ridiculous.
Bad for them, good for us. If this works from the industry's standpoint - and right now, there's no telling whether it will or not - then that should open the door for the other labels.
Note that there's a very big "if" followed by a medium sized "should" here, so there's no telling what might happen. But if the music industry is shown (because they won't see for themselves) that DRM is bad for business, then and only then will they do the right thing.
Since when is 40 "elderly?" There are lots of people of retirement age who play games like those made by PopCap and who play on pogo.com and like sites. In fact, the article focuses mainly on people who are over 60.
Yet the quote for the article summary is a survey done on age brackets at 40 and 50 - hardly people who could be called "elderly".
The main advantage of DD-WRT over OpenWRT is that it's more of an out-of-the-box solution. In fact, the default firmware would be recognizable to people familiar with moderate to advanced networking, web GUI and all. DD-WRT also retains some, but nowhere near all, of the amazingly powerful options offered by OpenWRT. Neither firmware is really appropriate for Joe User, but DD-WRT is appropriate for a far broader user base.
Another way to do this is get a router that uses DD-WRT. It's designed to be much more functional out of the box: install it, pull up the web interface, configure the WAN settings, and go. OpenWRT requires a good deal more knowledge than the average user has; DD-WRT can be installed by a much broader user base and retains some of the incredible functionality OpenWRT offers for power users.
It's a language problem. English makes no distinction between gratis, free as in money, and libre, free as in speech. The words are the same, but the meaning is different. In this case, the grandparent was noting that Ape is not free as in speech. They weren't stating one way or the other whether it is free as in beer.
Yes, because permanently locking down your entire media collection with a proprietary codec stored in a proprietary format is exactly where everyone should go.
Dude, I'm a Windows sysadmin, I like Windows and use it exclusively, I have no in depth Nix knowledge (though I can get around okay), and even I know.wma isn't the way to go.
To back up what RootWind said, here's the official reply (on ClamWin, which is pretty much a Win32 compile + gui for ClamAV):
ClamWin better than Norton? No, you can not look at number of signatures to know who detects more. If you look on how ClamAV performs in independent tests (e.g. AV-Test.de) you see that it score around 49%, while Norton 99% (I would get very similar results). ClamAV is good to use e.g. at mail servers, but I would not suggets to use for other places, as there are better options available.
Seconded. The only time I get reboots is when it's required for a security patch, or the occasional "application freaking the #$@%^& out" kinda thing...servers, workstations, all of 'em. And if it weren't for that, I'd be pushing 90-120 day uptimes on most of my machines. Yes, Windows machines. In fact, I'll get you the data.
Main server has rebooted twice in the last four months for security patches, total ~19 minutes downtime.

Can anyone elaborate on Comcast, its limits, and/or actions?
Wooops. Cut-pasted too fast, switched WPA and WEP around the second time I mentioned them.

Anyone have experience with the Sonicwall PRO series?

So I load this article up and a grand total of two comments have been posted. One says this test shows Intel beat AMD. The other says AMD beat Intel.
Beautiuful.

In the time it took you to type up that complaint, you could have Googled it yourself or even skipped Google and go to Wikipedia for the answer.

.wma isn't the way to go.

A direct ripoff of two major competitors and combining them into one idea is a trade secret?
Sony's in even more trouble than I thought.
