Today is Monday. Does that mean Sun loves Linux or hates Linux? I forget.
More then anything, Sun's demise has to do with the fact that Sun can't figure out what they are doing, and won't stick to their decision for more then a year.

Well, Switzerland has it's own questionable practices which may not make it a proper democracy.
Women didn't have the right to vote in Switzerland until 1971. Women still couldn't vote in some Cantons until 1989!
In the 70s, the Swiss held an "overpopulation" lottery (I think it was mostly young men). If your name was selected the Swiss government revoked your Swiss citizenship. I knew nothing about this until I visited Switzerland in 2002 during a big art festival. A large focus of the festival was getting these ex-Swiss back in contact with the Switzerland.
Of course there are all sorts of legacy applications that are 'required' to work with this, ranging from java applications to ancient pc programs.
You aren't giving alot of detail here. You didn't even mention your OS's.
Are these Windows apps? Linux apps? Web apps? Apps for your WPA-enabled phone (Hey, he said Legacy:)
Does each individual program really have it's own authentication system? If so you are in trouble. For most most legacy application, you log into Windows, then use the program. Somehow I don't think you are looking for more then just a centralized Windows network however.
Do people need to log into a website? How about Unix servers? Unix desktops?
What will you do to keep me, successful student, productive citizen, and pot smoker, out of jail?
This should be interesting, considering that Bush, Clinton, Gore, Schwartzenegger and a host of other polticians have smoked pot (Or in Bush's case, snorted coke); and are highly successful poeple.
I have no doubt that Kerry also smoked pot on occasion.
who was winning in the polls and looked like a shoo-in candidate,
Are you intentionally trying to mislead people?
Look, it's not very hard to show that Obama was ahead of Ryan in the polls. Go to Google. Search for "Obama Ryan Poll. At best, Ryan sometimes held a slight lead over Obama, but Ryan was never, ever a "shoo-in candidate".
Ryan took himself out of the race because he was losing at the polls, because he's yet another Republican hypocrite who tries to force his morality on other people.
That is true, but I'm just trying to point out the AC's lies.
Clinton was still asked to move to NYC and run in the senate race. It's part of a larger strategy to give her experience, have her show some leadership in the senate and get her name out, probably in preparation for the 2008 or 2012 presidential race.
But the Third Partys (parties?) aren't in it just for this election. They have long term goals in mind... get your name out during this election, next election maybe a bit more, if you get 5% of the vote you qualify for federal funding, etc.
If third partys never run, we'll always be a two party system, which these days is quickly becoming a one party system.
Alan Keyes, the Republican candidate for Senate in Illinois
It should be noted that Alan Keyes isn't FROM Illinois, he is merely running in the Senate race. I don't think that in itself is bad, but it is probably one of the many reasons he is trailing in the polls.
I seem to remember Keyes once saying that people from out-of-state SHOULDN'T run for a state office, but I can't find that quote now, so maybe I'm just spreading nasty rumors. But it's ok, because I fufilled my duties.
So Alan Keyes, another Republican who wants to control things. There was once a day when Republicans were about NOT controlling things, but that time is long gone.
Bush is losing his post-convention bounce. Kerry gave a great speech to open the last phase of the election.
Gee, we need a distraction! Let's remind the voters that they need to be scared. A terrorist might kill you and you child at any minute! Only Bush can save you!
"The goal is to make it more difficult for hackers to deface and/or hijack the website," said Lieutenant Colonel Ellen Krenke.
What a load of crap.
We web-savvy Slashdoters all know that it's pretty easy to allow access to the HTTP & HTTPS ports and still maintain a very secure website by blocking access to all other ports.
Unless you have some wacky scripting on the site, this level of security is trivial.
Blocking by IP number isn't a good security solution, because the hackers can always find another security solution.

I'm not sure I want to think about monkeys banging their typewriters...
That's assuming that you get all of your products via apt. Does 'apt-get upgrade' fix all of those Third Party issues?
What if you compile a third party product from a tarfile? Third party products are as common on Debian as they are on any other distro.
Everyday it is Sun Java Desktop, which is based on UnitedLinux, which is basically Suse 8.2
... I think the QUBE and RAQ stuff came with a RH-based distro.
Ah, but in the past they have sold RedHat
This year at Linuxworld I was told specifically that it was not UnitedLinux but was a SuSE-based distro.
It's hard to keep things straight...

God, I hope Spokane has taken security into consideration.
Does Spokane realize that most wireless services using cheap, off-the-shelf technology are easily broken using free, off-the-net tools?
Well we better figure out a way to harvest energy from your flaming body!
Welcome to the 20th Century. A few more years and you can join us in the 21st Century-- where you DON'T need to control your customers behavior.
It is relevant, because people who do drugs just once are often arrested and prosecuted.
Many of these politicians who have done drugs in the past say that doing drugs just once is wrong.

Really? Out of the millions of people in NYC, you are saying *nobody* asked her to come there?
If that was true she wouldn't have won the election.
Come on, people were talking about it for a year before the election.

make our voice heard at the polls.
Is that why right wingers hold gun rallies and shoot family planning doctors? Or try to ammend the constitution to ban things?
this is the first time weapon grade plutonium has been shipped ever
It's the first time that the PUBLIC knows about it, but isn't necessarily the first time that weapon grade plutonium has been shipped.
Big difference.

They might object, but then they still need to turn over the data.
"I object to us closing the doors on the barn after the house got out"
And how many of those hacks happened through the HTTP port? Probably close to zero.
Block the other stuff, but there is virtually no need to block the HTTP port.
