Is what the government is saying. Please forget this ever happened.
DHS, Patriot Act, warrantless wiretapping, TSA, color-coded 'Terrorists Might Get Us Today' alert levels, Boston freaking out over L.E.D.'s, troops in Afghanistan, troops in Iraq, 'No Fly' lists, etc...
I think that genie is irrevocably out of the bottle, but it would still not surprise me if you were correct.
It happened and it's history. People need to know the truth./quote And remember it to avoid the same mistakes.(we seem to be having trouble with this one)
Just remember kiddies, when you stick your head in the sand, it puts your butt up in the air for easy access...have plenty of lube ready.
Uhmm...When I decided to reinstall XP in October, 2008 to try Fallout 3, after I installed SP3 I had IE7. It was not a separate download and install by me. I can assure you I would not have wasted my time with it, as I have used Firefox since before it was named Firefox.(0.7) XP Pro SP2 installed fresh, had IE6. Went straight to MS updates and got SP3 only. Rebooted, and had IE7. Period. Did not select anything extra.
And I don't have a netbook, so what are you talking about? (note the '?' at the end of my sentence you quoted...as in I'm not sure what comes on the netbooks)
SP3 does not come with IE7...
You are absofuckinglutely correct!!! SP3 does not come with IE7! But IE7 does come with SP3. (it helps if you hitch the horse to the front of the cart to pull it, instead of behind it to push it)
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Hurricane78, but I am sadly used to the wacked out zealot-moderator's agenda scores...from both sides.
The funny thing is that I am completely anti-Microsoft and anti-Windows, and have only used GNU/Linux since Ubuntu 5.10, and have no interest in installing or using anything from Microsoft.
I was just trying to give good advice to someone that was asking, and not trying to harass him, convert him to *nix, or flame him for using Windows. I don't have a 'mission' to convert anyone to my choice, and resent when someone tries. Why do that to someone else? Yeah, I'll joke about it here-no denying my posting history, but this is too ludicrous to take seriously.*ROFLMAO* (This is where you need to tune out-none of the following is for/at yo)
Mainly I feel sad for...GHAAGHH! I can't say that with a straight face! LOL!! I laugh at, and despise the clueless, and myopic idiot/s that modded me flamebait because of his/her agenda. You are a sad, pitiful excuse for an intelligent being, and I hope many get amusement from your stumbling through life. You idiots are entertaining on a 'slapstick comedy' level, so mod on, you're a laugh-a-minute!
Even funnier than me being anti-MS/Windows, and getting modded 'flamebait' is....one of my fellow *nix zealots probably modded me flamebait!! LOL!!! And I have no interest in their reason, as I doubt a rational person could understand something that fscked-up! Maybe disgruntled IE6/Activex developers....who are not even worthy of my disgust! Even funnier! LOL!
I humbly stand corrected, and reminded of the roots!
My main point and rant/soapbox-mounting unavoidably had me focused on the spelling issue, and the underhanded way the poster I was replying to, tried to denigrate that in typical USA hick/redneck fashion that can easily spark me to 'action'.
It remains a 'chip on my shoulder' since I was 6 years old(1963), and caught flack in school over the spelling of certain words. The teacher would present one spelling, which was different from my British 'Blue Blooded'*** Great Grand Mother's teachings. The dictionaries were no help, as they acknowledged both spellings as valid: Gray==Grey Color==Colour Honor==Honour, etc...
The die was cast by the time I was 6-7 years old. I'll stick to what I was taught as 'proper English', and grammar. At least it is consistent, precise, and predictable, yet 'keeping the door open' when something 'new' is needed, and not just wanted as a fad.
Hell, I was born, raised, and spent most of my life in the USA, and from some of the 'so called' English used here on slashdot, sometimes I fell like I have stumbled into a foreign language website. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation change yearly anymore.
I think this is where I am supposed to yell: "Get off of my lawn, you punks!" Oh, and "Turn that crap down!" Yeah, I think that's got it.
Realistically, I have to take the position that both spellings are technically correct.
The couch, while being shaped/passed off as a cake, is....a lie!! So, none of you have had the 'couch cover' working as you had assumed. Start running, the timer has started. *note: if you wait for the couch to explode...you are sadly, way too late*
BTW, don't fsck with a Real Engineer(tm)! (not talking about software/electrical-pseudo/wannabe engineers...how lame!)
Oh, careful where you jump to avoid the booby-trapped couch that is rigged***....;-)....[don't bother wasting inadequate brain-power on what's beyond the couch!-you were already fscked before you were aware of the couch!]
***My personal best is a self-induced 100% kill of 23 enemy 'jumping/fleeing' from one 'safe' spot to another after setting off the original ambush...eight frikken times!...w00t! (set off original ambush, then 'survivors'(Hah!Hah!) in order as planned, fell 1, 2, 3,...) Not very sporting, but I am not foolish enough to gamble with other lives(my team) solely for sport.
'Eager Lt.' set off the first Willy Peter grenade via a tripwire, then, the survivors were consumed by our chaos...the unfortunate fsckers set off eight more of my 'surprises' trying to escape the first one...no survivors! An effective mix of C-4, Claymores, and a.45 ACP Gov't. Model 1911 semi-auto pistol @10-12 meters!-had 6 out of 7 rounds left in the magazine when the smoke cleared!-) It only lasted 46 seconds, from start to finish. 'Wham, BAM, Fsck You, man!' That particular 'Hang out with the STASI, and keep them entertained' while we exited-stage left...the operation enabled 'us' to rescue nine East German scientists from E. Berlin that had requested asylum, but were denied(for political reasons between USA and W.Germ. at that time), and were in danger for having made the request. We had the Op Order, and debarked before we knew the request was denied. You can only decide based on what info you have at the time.:-)
Hide behind your couch, Dino!...Heh! Heh! Oh, yeah, you are perfectly safe! Heh! Heh! Circa:1979-1980 in E. Berlin...Good Riddance, you STASI bastards!

"All the recent talk about various polls and elections being pranked or hijacked, serious and silly alike, prompted me to write an article about the technical realities behind online polling, and the political fallout of ever becoming subject to online voting for serious elections. Even if we were to be able to limit voting to legitimate, legal voters, the realities of social networking and the rise of Internet-based movements would dramatically alter the political landscape if online voting were to become commonplace.
"[all emphasis mine]
Yes!1 Yes!1 Abso-fscking-lutely!1! Let's put EVERY-FSCKING-THING that determines/influences our political process online!...ASAP! The only realistic questions become then are:
1. "Should we concentrate on learning Russian, Chinese, or both?" (least pessimistic scenario) 2. Will 'Twitter' take over Congress, and sentient life?(do not confuse the two to your detriment) 3. ??? 4.Profit!!!**
What could possibly go wrong???? (Hint: I am learning Russian)
** Can I still post on/. if I voted for CowboyNeal?
They were trying to prove that people want to be heard, that people want to make a lasting impact in the world. And that people more often than not don't even know what they're for, against or at all.
That's a contradictory set of goals, purposes, and expectations...and nothing new, in fact, desire, or concept....nothing new at all.
Go out in the streets with a friend who lugs some large camera around and pose as some sort of "opinion asker" for a local TV station. Ask random strangers whether they have heterosexual friends, or whether they are heterosexual. And be surprised of the answers.
Don't try this in Boston if your camera has LED's. It could get ugly for you as a "terrorist".(sarcastic joke implied here)
Also, don't be surprised by how many times you get punched in the face and kicked in the 'nads in places like Oklahoma;-)...if you are lucky. (no sarcasm/troll/flamebait intended...too many times I have witnessed some 'crazy shit' here)
On the other hand, you could be given 'free reign' to go/do what you want....YMMV....preliminary research is highly advised.
Choose your venue very carefully. Good luck with this, irregardless...just be careful.(I would advise against this project in central Oklahoma unless you are pandering to the 'religious+++right'!!!!) I was dumbfounded by the number of 'fellow cow-orkers' that were actually in fscking tears over Obama's winning the election, and the 'fact' that we would all be sold into Islamic slavery when he took office!!! Yes, the majority believed this!?!?!?!
Let them fire me if they can! This was at Oklahoma's "Oklahoma State University", in Stillwater, Oklahoma. *note: the Administration, Faculty, and Students were/are not the problem, it is/was the 'Staff' personnel, that make up a large, and influential part of the total FUD here.*
Note: You college kids need to get involved, or at least pay attention to both your Student Government organisation, and your Campus/College Newspaper and Radio Station(if applicable). You are the future, and the 'hope' of the next generation-fail this, and you will be reacting to shit, and delusionally blaming your woes on a third party. (think 'Editorials here...don't be bashful, at worst, your editorial will be turned down, you will not be taken out to be shot...yet. Take charge, be aggressive, and don't take no for an answer without good cause. After all, you are the ones that have to face yourselves in the mirror from now on, and justify your views/choices/decisions. It's all golden, if you have done your homework, and are not stupid, and have a 'pair'.
If you have 'done your homework/research', then it's all golden! If not, you are just another idiot...go back home to continue your stupidity, and pass it on.[see:DarwinAwards.com]...we will just add y'all to the statistics in some arbitrary, insignificant heading. Avoid this!

*sigh* They have, several times. IE7 came out for XP around SP3. This is another update.
*disclaimer: I have been running Kubuntu since long before IE7 was released for XP, yet I still know this.*
shouldn't they patch the version XP shipped with instead?
Which version of XP? the new one (SP3) that comes on netbooks with IE7?, or the 'old' versions that come with IE6?
If you are just 'trolling', then you deserve an "Epic Fail" for missing the target by a galaxy. If you are serious, then you need to just resign yourself to the fact you are hopelessly clueless, and need to pull your head out of your ass to take a look at the fresh world around you...not just the 'dingleberries' around your sphincter, and immediate 'view of the world'.
I look at your UID, and can only deduce that you are a troll, or more likely too stupid to discourse with. You should know better, if not...you surely[yes, I called you 'shirley!!!biatch!!] will know why you are marked 'foe' as being to stupid to consider/converse with.(if not, no big loss here) Goodbye forever....have a good life in my/. oblivion!
I will throw you a bone as a clueless n00b. Sink or swim...and look out for sharks.
Yes, and no. If you use XP and/or the 'view in IE tab' extension, then yes, you should be using at least IE7 for on-line security.(IE 5,6,7, or 8-whatever is installed, is just opened in a FF tab/window-vulnerabilities will still exist somewhat) If 'no to both', then don't worry about it.
The 'bottom line' is: get rid of IE 6, or earlier at all costs. (as a 'Home' user-at work:YMMV)
I set up several different 'profiles' on-line linked by e-mail addresses on different sites. Depending on the job applied for, that e-mail address and subsequent 'profile' is what I use.
Search for my slashdot UID anywhere, and all you find are this specific user ID's slashdot posts. It does not connect to 'me' directly, easily, or obviously. I'm sure it could be done given enough motivation, but realistically, 'why bother' for someone like me?
"Given the persistence with which they propagate incorrect information, we cannot rule out the possibility that a competitor is involved," he said. "The competitor goes under the name 'reality.' Needless to say, we have no tolerance for an entity of such limited possibilities.

Sadly we will be looking into how to implement this in Corporate America[formerly known as 'the USA'] ASAP.

Yes, contact us at 'honesty@Ministry_of_Truth.guv.uk' for more info. After all, would we lie to you? *disclaimer-applies to us 'across the pond' here also*
How about a system that takes whatever you were doing on the web and has a telemarketer call you about a related product immediately?
FSCK YOU and the white mule you rode in on.
The 'Minority Report' type adverts would most assuredly cause me to go over the edge and engage in 'Gone Plaid/Past Ludicrous' overloaded anarchy against 'The Man'. Expect an 'Earth-shattering Kaboom!' when this is implemented. It will be best for the Galaxy as a whole, for Earth's marketing to go this way. I am willing to sacrifice, as long as I get a lot of your type.;-)
I think 'mcalli' was applying the honorific 'Honourable' as sarcasm/dry wit, not applying it to the Cabinet Minister in question. That would have been obvious to you if you would have clicked on the linked (prior-two weeks ago) comment, and actually read it. Or should I have spelt that 'red' for u? After all, we're jus' droppin' uneeded letters now, ain't we?(honor vs. honour)
Get over the spelling, they invented the language, and he/she used the correct spelling, just as I was also taught! (bred, born, and raised in the USA)
Just because we 'fold, spindle, and mutilate' different languages/words and incorporate them into our language here in the USA, does not mean that the rest of the world has to adopt our version of the language. The USA version of the English language has a rich history of begging, borrowing, stealing, and 'bastardising**' of words to claim as our own. One quick example: USA=='lasso' comes from (bastardisation?) 'lariat' which we stole and bastardised from the Mexican/Spanish Vaquero term: 'la riata'=='the rope'.
**And another thing: Yes! I did use 's' instead of 'z'! This NewSpeak B.S. with replacing the 's' in words with a 'z' recently? FZCK OFF, spel czecker! Ur ass iz gettin reetr8nd!

No, it's meters and not miles.
The ISS it would be coming back to Earth from only orbits the Earth at around 160 miles altitude.

Why is it not enough?

Fall into the 'buzzword 2.0' mind set as you will. Only your brain will rot...not mine. Knock yourself out...Have your temporary fun. Check your Cheerios and Wheaties for n/t before consumption for your own good health.
Have I pissed you off yet?
If not, let me know***. I can do much better, but you did not seem worth the effort for me to try harder than I did out of shear boredom this time.
***Note: you will need at least a + 6 to register on my 'RADAR' from now on, so you may encounter difficulty getting through the 'dumbass' filters. :-)
Or toss the HDD into a smelter...Followed with 'high-explosives' and thermite. Then call in a 'air-strike'.
Second best thing is 'nuking it from orbit...it's the only way to be sure' solution. 'If it does not glow, we have a go!'
*sigh*
They have, several times.
IE7 came out for XP around SP3. This is another update.
*disclaimer: I have been running Kubuntu since long before IE7 was released for XP, yet I still know this.*
shouldn't they patch the version XP shipped with instead?
Which version of XP? the new one (SP3) that comes on netbooks with IE7?, or the 'old' versions that come with IE6?
If you are just 'trolling', then you deserve an "Epic Fail" for missing the target by a galaxy.
If you are serious, then you need to just resign yourself to the fact you are hopelessly clueless, and need to pull your head out of your ass to take a look at the fresh world around you...not just the 'dingleberries' around your sphincter, and immediate 'view of the world'.
I look at your UID, and can only deduce that you are a troll, or more likely too stupid to discourse with. You should know better, if not...you surely[yes, I called you 'shirley!!!biatch!!] will know why you are marked 'foe' as being to stupid to consider/converse with.(if not, no big loss here) Goodbye forever....have a good life in my /. oblivion!
I will throw you a bone as a clueless n00b. Sink or swim...and look out for sharks.
Yes, and no.
If you use XP and/or the 'view in IE tab' extension, then yes, you should be using at least IE7 for on-line security.(IE 5,6,7, or 8-whatever is installed, is just opened in a FF tab/window-vulnerabilities will still exist somewhat)
If 'no to both', then don't worry about it.
The 'bottom line' is: get rid of IE 6, or earlier at all costs. (as a 'Home' user-at work:YMMV)
I set up several different 'profiles' on-line linked by e-mail addresses on different sites. Depending on the job applied for, that e-mail address and subsequent 'profile' is what I use.
Search for my slashdot UID anywhere, and all you find are this specific user ID's slashdot posts.
It does not connect to 'me' directly, easily, or obviously. I'm sure it could be done given enough motivation, but realistically, 'why bother' for someone like me?
Sadly we will be looking into how to implement this in Corporate America[formerly known as 'the USA'] ASAP.
What the fuck does that even mean?
ARRGHH! You scurvy dog!
It means you get to walk the fsck'ing plank after yer keel-hauled, drawn-n-quartered***, and make a sacrifice of 72 virgin goatse's to the Corporate OverLords!
*parrot sounds off:*
"Polly wants a cracker!
***Yes, that's stretching it a bit...
Yes, contact us at 'honesty@Ministry_of_Truth.guv.uk' for more info. After all, would we lie to you?
*disclaimer-applies to us 'across the pond' here also*
How about a system that takes whatever you were doing on the web and has a telemarketer call you about a related product immediately?
FSCK YOU and the white mule you rode in on.
The 'Minority Report' type adverts would most assuredly cause me to go over the edge and engage in 'Gone Plaid/Past Ludicrous' overloaded anarchy against 'The Man'. Expect an 'Earth-shattering Kaboom!' when this is implemented. ;-)
It will be best for the Galaxy as a whole, for Earth's marketing to go this way. I am willing to sacrifice, as long as I get a lot of your type.
I think 'mcalli' was applying the honorific 'Honourable' as sarcasm/dry wit, not applying it to the Cabinet Minister in question.
That would have been obvious to you if you would have clicked on the linked (prior-two weeks ago) comment, and actually read it. Or should I have spelt that 'red' for u? After all, we're jus' droppin' uneeded letters now, ain't we?(honor vs. honour)
Get over the spelling, they invented the language, and he/she used the correct spelling, just as I was also taught! (bred, born, and raised in the USA)
Just because we 'fold, spindle, and mutilate' different languages/words and incorporate them into our language here in the USA, does not mean that the rest of the world has to adopt our version of the language.
The USA version of the English language has a rich history of begging, borrowing, stealing, and 'bastardising**' of words to claim as our own.
One quick example: USA=='lasso' comes from (bastardisation?) 'lariat' which we stole and bastardised from the Mexican/Spanish Vaquero term: 'la riata'=='the rope'.
**And another thing: Yes! I did use 's' instead of 'z'!
This NewSpeak B.S. with replacing the 's' in words with a 'z' recently?
FZCK OFF, spel czecker! Ur ass iz gettin reetr8nd!
