So, now that OSI is not an idea, but a group, and that everyone is happily coding... Are the people in the group going to come together? Someone, somewhere has said "United we stand, divided we fall".. That goes for any association. I feel this future has potential if OSI can develop into a united power without losing the original sight (GPL2 vs. GPL3, anyone?)

Or, maybe, countries trying to move forward too fast and without watching their step. How many people here know/work in a company where IT doesn't get the budget it needs for proper network defense?
I wouldn't say ATI is searching for every way to improve the performance of their cards; then again, they haven't shown us any proof, maybe this time they mean it when they say they'll be giving us real drivers.
I used the Omega drivers too, back under Windows. There was a slight performance increase, but you just need to know what you're doing so you don't fry the card.
Anyone who has administered a system, a network, and has had to protect it against spam, intruders, at the same time as making it work, will agree that it is doable. So why would it be any more complicated to have machines running - say - *nix, with one touchscreen that has big options, say, color-coded, with the candidates. Touch one, "Are you sure you want to vote for $CANDIDATE" ? Buttons "yes" and "no" on opposite sides of the screen. Why not go one step further? One monitor per candidate!
And as far as security, hmm, well, it's a *nix. Those are pretty secure when you know what you're doing. So get a white hat to set it up for you. Get someone who wants to Make It Work.
oh, and don't forget PAPER TRAILS! logging works very well under *nix, thank you very much.. cronjobs can print stuff out too.
Technology has everything we want. People are too stupid though. That's what it comes down to. Too spoonfed. Betcha we ought to show them a video on how it works.
"This gives a data rate 20 times more than the blue laser Blue-ray disk."
That's fantastic. Does it mean the data transfer rate is 20 times faster?
Does it mean the data storage ratio for one of those is 20:1 if compared to a Blue-Ray disk?
It's not that it's important, but.. Well, actually, it is.
After all, Kerry conceded. That's the end of it. The votes matter not. Sad but true. Now, the fact that people don't know how to keep paper trails is another matter... Why haven't they hired a BOFH? Sure, everyone gets hurt, but the computers get the job done!
70%+ of France's electricity comes from nuclear energy.
It's perfectly safe and much cheaper and, oh yeah, better for the environment, when done properly.
Anyone willing to throw Chernobyl at my face, just remember that Chernobyl was caused by human error.
If only the US chose to move to nuclear energy.. The earth's lifespan would find itself prolonged.
"- Don't concede: Candidates, make a statement about voting without auditing. Hold off on your concession until the canvass is done". they say. May I laugh?
Finally, people who understand technology wish to discuss with the machines themselves what actually happened.
I don't care what the logs end up showing; I laud the initiative. Maybe we can advance from there.
Thank you for electing me, even though we'll never know because Kerry conceded. Funny how we'll never know if I won the first one either, right? ha, ha!
Anyway, I would like to explain what the new rules will be.
You shall not covet your wife's neighbor.
You shall not use steel.
You shall not... Hang on.. This sounds wrong! Did my dad write this again?
I'll be right back, I need to rework my strategery... We gotta kill the Japanians and deport the Iraqians!
I'm a little bitter. As a foreigner living in the US with a green card, my future suddenly got a couple of shades darker.
As a citizen of the world, my chances of getting bombed just rose a few percents.
I'm annoyed and sad.
My handwriting is absolutely horrible. I'm afraid that configuring that for me would kill it for anybody else.. Hey, theft prevention!:)
So, the new phone is actually a small computer. Neat. Does it come with your choice of apple, penguin or window?
I don't know what I am doing wrong, myself.. I've tried installing a few packages (OpenBSD 3.5, i386) with pkg_add.. Installation file b0rked apparently, and I'm downloading from ftp.crimelabs.net which is an official mirror..
I've never had a problem with a stable gentoo package. Emerging is ++ for me. Heck, I have Gentoo on my laptop, home machine and work machine.
Anyway.. Back to trying to figure out OpenBSD. It's gotta be cool, people are using it.
This article went to crapland when the word "America" appeared. It went from arguing open source to arguing that America is the best, and then to saying that no other country in the world has what it takes to make improvements... Dude, just stop writing already. My eyes are bleeding.
I may be completely wrong on this, but my understanding is that 2.4.xx is primarily aimed at single-processor machines and 2.6.x primarily aimed at multi-processor machines (smp).
Don't take my word for it, I, sadly enough, have no idea where to even start checking this for truth.
Make sure all your users have a windows password. It helps if random programs can't just login as the username they find and install themselves.
disable ActiveX.
Limit Java.
Lose IE/Outlook and use Firefox/Thunderbird.
Block these ports (TCP and UDP):
42
67 (BOOTP Server)
68 (BOOTP Client)
79 (Finger)
113 (Ident) for incoming data
137-139 (NetBIOS) for incoming and outgoing data
( if you aren't on a private network that use M$ Network, completely uninstall NetB*.* that shit has more backdoors and loophole than a stray dog has fleas )
Also block protocols 47 (GRE), 1 (ICMP) and 2 (IGMP) , whatever ports they may use.

So we're going to go from the known party term c*ckblocking to Comcasting.
