In that case I don't get why the government acknowledges the degree given out by that particular institution as valid. It is a private place doing whatever they want after all...
Universities are usually the second after huge commercial entities in bandwidth availability. At least that is how it is in most of Europe afaik and probably in the USA aswell. Heck, some universities even got more IP addresses than some countries!
Anyway, I don't think the bandwidth problem applies to most universities.
Most likely it happened elsewhere aswell, but I don't think a system claimed to be a democracy ever did it on this scale in peacetime. We're talking about more than 90,000 people in ILLEGAL detention only! The biggest stadium in the USA couldn't fit that many people. That is the important difference.
Investigators have also recovered books on how police investigate homicides, which were obtained by Hans Reiser a few days after his wife's Sept. 3 disappearance, the sources said.
I don't know a lot about the other stuff, but this seems to be on HIS side, rather than against him. He acted like I would act, like a geek would act imo in this respect. To put it into geek terminology, he read the HOWTO after he discovered a bug. This would rather point into the direction he didn't knowingly create the bug in the first place.
My point is, if you'd want to kill your wife, you'd obtain these books BEFORE you kill your wife, study them thoroughly for a long time and then despose them. Hans Reiser is not stupid. Of course it is all possible that if she were murdered by him, it was an impulse murder. Who knows. We have no evidence and facts.
So the third world will get their money via paypal and ebay
I can't decide if you're serious or not, but just in case you are, but the country I live in (Hungary) joined the EU in 2004. Do you know since when can we use Paypal here to receive money? Oh, since Oct 5th, 2006...
Somehow I highly doubt that those kids in the poor countries could engage in any financial relationship with anyone abroad.
The survey is to be published in a UK medical journal, the Lancet, on Thursday.
In an accompanying comment, the Lancet's Richard Horton acknowledges that the 2004 survey provoked controversy, but emphasises that the 2006 follow-up has been recommended by "four expert peers... with relatively minor revisions".
Its obvious that body counts based on a non-scientific news method can ever reach the same number as a peer reviewed scientific method based on statistics, but if the Iraq Body Count is right that they counted 44-49k of iraqi dead, it is reasonable to assume that this is only the tip of the iceberg that gets reported.
Yeah, people who want to copy dvds professionally are smart. Legitimate users are not really. Everyone in between is better off using a pirated copy, because it is just better.
Just humbly saying, that your position on murder is entirely cultural, although I guess it should scare you that ex dictatorships from Eastern Europe are viewing murder in a broader sense than the USA. For example we have something called reasonable use of self defense. You're sent to jail for murder if you for example shoot an armed robber (not that it happens here much as gun usage is extremely rare, but for the sake of an example) in their back, after you've luckily wrestled the gun away from him. The only case when you'd be aquitted is if he was about to shoot you right at the time.
See, it's a cultural thing. Your bias, my bias, and everyone's bias about what you consider murder.
Clearly the subversion of the kernel through rootkitting is a growing problem. If MS doesn't fix it, they get knocked for having no security.
I said it before and I'll say it again: trying to defend against a rootkit with administrator priviledges is like fucking for virginity: DOESN'T WORK. Prevention should be used instead to reach the desired state.
MS gets knocked for having no security for years now, deservedly so. It is just now that their insecure model nips them in the butt. Even a virus scanner is too late if it catches a misbehaving piece of code before execution. Why? Because you can't tell intent from binary code. Virus scanners work based either on signatures or on heuristics. Both models are flawed, because the idea of a virus scanner is flawed. If a virus gains access to the administrator level priviledge in a system, it is already past the last line of defense, game over, hasta la vista!
There is a right model to stop these things: it's called sensible design and secure default settings.
The interesting fact I liked from the Inconvenient Truth is that China has higher fuel efficiency standards than the USA. When California suggested fuel standards for 2015 to be x (where x more or less = China's today), the car manufacturers went nuts over it...
How can GP miss the fact that Debian has an official logo they don't EXPECT anyone to use anywhere, besides themselves, and a freely distributable/usable Debian logo to be used anywhere the users want.
Yeah. Shoddy distributors messing up the pristine and just perfect linux kernel! How dare they mess up the WORD OF GOSPEL from Linus's git repository itself!
You say they are patching it to make it better? You're saying that Linus and LKML's opinion encourages this behaviour?
Nevermind...
On the other hand, shoddy distributors messing up the pristine and just perfect Firefox browser! How dare they mess up the WORD OF GOSPEL from the Mozilla corp.'s cvs repository itself!
Yeah, well someone who used Firefox from 0.x, my empirical evidence disagrees.
I've been using Firefox on Debian, Gentoo and Redhat besides the occasional MSWin usage. The only problem I ever had with Firefox is that it crashed occasionally (after days of usage or on select websites). The 0.x had beta problems, after all it was a beta level software at the time. 1.0.x worked the best for me so far, crashes has been the least frequent here. 1.5.x is a step back in that respect, on all distributions I'm using consistently! If that is so, crashes aren't due to debian's patchset...just a food for thought.
Mozilla needs to get off their high horse. They are blaming problems that do exist within their code on other experienced programmers, unjustly in my opinion.
Nvidia are definitely distributing their kernel extentions via their web site. You are playing with words here.
No. The important difference is that Nvidia is making their kernel module accessible through the website. Then YOU have to download it and LINK it against the kernel. They are legally doing nothing wrong with that - it is the users deciding to use the proprietary module with the kernel.
In the case of Kororaa, they distributed it together already linked.
Except that violates GPL. Nvidia gets away with it for two reasons.
First, they have a GPLd interface between the two. This is more of a show of trying to satisfy the GPL while still violating it, but at least is something.
Second, they are not distributing it. Users have to install it manually. The livecd Kororaa had a taste of the problem.
If Nintendo is using proprietary (non-gpl compatible) modules and wants to sell (distribute) Wii, they are violating the GPL.

The brilliant study says: "content available as cache, even after the original source is not there, for some time"?
Bravo! Bravo! Revolutionary thought!

I hope someone else's submission goes through so that we can have a proper discussion about it on

Yeah guess what, charity doesn't work in Africa, it just keeps up a dependency relationship.
Education works. Laptops are a nice way of showing some effort on that front.

I wonder if Hans Reiser will get to lead the Prison Industry, to be able to contribute to ReiserFS 4.
He could use metasploit to craft an exploit to play Prison Break and then go into Mitnick mode hiding out.
Unfortunately I have to agree.

Yay! Finally someone has a viable plan to kill that abomination they call Gnome. You made my day dude!
In case noone mentioned it before, I'll say it loudly: there is Microsoft Office for Mac!

Yeah. That was a good example of subtle hinting. IBM's history with the nazis is certainly interesting.
I just can't believe such vile and shameful accusations against Microsoft! Surely no company would sink this deep to protect it's monopoly. Oh wait...
No. Like 25% other slashdotters are also irritated.
