Yeah silk is not very animal-friendly and vegans do avoid it. Unfortunately, this may not be a concern to the non-animal-rights-minded majority.
Even if I was an animal-eater, I still would not like the idea of genetically modifying insects. I know that in this area of CT the mulberry trees were destroyed by introduction of silkworms. Who knows what consequences introduction of a modified silkworm could have? Also I'm scared of killer bees. What are the potential risks of GMO silkworms gone wrong?
Someone who violates trust to expose illegal behavior is indeed breaking the rules, but to expose a bigger rulebreaker. The question that I think is relevant, is specifically, "Are the crimes that Manning exposed greater than the crime he commit?" If so, he should be exonerated.
Islam is an evil religion that tells them to kill non muslims. They would use it if teh could get away with it.
Not calling you bigoted or anything, but would you support laws to prevent Muslims from becoming doctors or cooks (at least for non-Muslims)?
Muslims account for over 1/5th (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam) of the world's population. Like Christianity, I find it doubtful that you could make any generalization which would actually apply to all Muslims. Peace.
You also have netboot.ISO which is only a few megabytes but will download the installer components over the network and give you the equivalent of the alternative text-mode installer. I pretty much exclusively use the TFTPboot option for the Ubuntu installer at work, and we install the entire OS and all packages from our Intranet (takes about 15 minutes with fast disks on a gigabit network!)
Bzip2. Vim, bzcat, bzdiff can give you direct access. If you *need* the filesystem to do this and not userspace well there is probably a fuse plugin, but I believe btrfs has this feature as well.
...just to play devil's advocate. Law enforcement may gain tremendous more power to gather information after a crime has been commit. I believe that law enforcement (when they are the good guys) being able to catch the bad guys is basically a good thing. Not that I'm in favor of everyone losing their privacy, giving law enforcement more power over people who have not commit any crimes, but I do see the up-side, transfer of guns and whatnot.
Also having lived in Louisiana, and gotten a sense of how corrupt it is, I'm wondering if this will have any ability to reduce corruption. I doubt it. I think people who want to circumvent enforcement (getting untraceable guns, etc) will find ways to do so despite this legislation.
However what's most interesting about this is it yet again proves William Gibson's ability to predict the future with fiction. It's been a while, but I think Gibson's idea was that in the future cash will be primarily used for illegal transaction (and law's like this assure that cash transactions are illegal). However, our political climate is one that no longer respects privacy. I hope I am wrong, but I suspect that LA may have started a trend.
I don't think many paperbacks were engineered to last. The glue in them seems to dry and crack causing the pages to fall out. This takes decades for some paperbacks or short period of hard uses for others. The book can be re-bound, but ultimately its the quality and longevity of the paper that we are worried about. I do not think the ink will go before the paper does.
Once my Book Liberator (http://bkrpr.org/blog/) is done and working, I'm going to get rid of 90% of my books. I'm using 2 logitech webcams and uvccapture to get images of all my books which take up less space and are easier to backup. Ok physical copies won't disappear, but they won't be on my bookshelf, maybe put in boxes and moved to cheap storage.
Ok I can't see myself parting with any of my crumbling Fritz Leiber novels or my K+R C book, but beyond that, I'm going to virtualize my library. With the prevalance of tablets and readers, I think most people will eventually go this route.
Xoom has nvidia tegra processor faster than an iPad (comparable to iPad 2). It also has a much larger and higher res screen. I dont even consider viewing angle for a tablet. Main disadvantage of xoom? It's newer. Give it a minute
Can you run IE on an ARM processor yet? I'd like to see IE9 running on Intel Atom (or whatever the lowest power x86 processor supported is), versus Firefox or Chromium running on Linux/ARM. Then we should see some significant differences.
*evenmoresmug*Makes me even happier that I am a vegan*evenmoresmug*
However when I think of big mammals in factory farns eating mostly grain and soy which can use up to 20 times as much land, fuel and water as producing plant-based calories directly, not to mention that it involves massive amounts of antibiotics and ends up dumping lots of fecal waste in clean water, switching to insects does not seem so bad. Shrimp and lobster are pretty much underwater insects and people love to eat them. I'm sure if there were some insect-mcnuggets available, you would not suffer from strange tastes.
Actually the world of fake meat is a marvellous one. There are Tofurky Sausages, vegan lamb (made out of tofu and mushrooms!), and of course veggy burgers! All of these things taste pretty @#! good and gain the same advantages over cattle as insects perhaps moreso... But it still sounds like eating bugs is better than eating cows as long as we dont unleash a plague of locusts or anything...
Yeah because as we know malware authors are unsophisticated and easy to predict. They would never do anything like incrementing a number in a hostname www255.frigd.com www256.frigd.com. Why do you post nonsense as Anonymous Coward and sign as APK?

Sorry saying that malware writers "generally" don't use IP addresses, does not mean you can trust that they never will as a form of security.
"Or the user does not have root access on their phone" - by cmdr_tofu (826352) on Thursday December 30, @05:44PM (#34715798)
That's WHY I had to use ADB for Android (dev tools are the 'secret' here & they're free, afaik @ least, for phones!)
---
ADB does not give you a rootshell. It's not a secret. The dev tools are easily available from http://developer.android.com./ If you get a shell with adb on a non rooted device, I think you will have a tough time writing to/etc/hosts
People:
1.) Make mistakes
2.) Folks get "lured" into clicking on URL's that MIGHT be "bad ones" (tiny URL for example? It "backfires" here, imo @ least)... especially from folks you "trust"
3.) You might "let your guard down"?
There's others, those are just some "possibles"... offhand, on "short-notice" etc.! apk
Clicking a url, is not the same as installing an application, unless there are some serious software vulnerabilities I don't know about. If that is the case, I'd rather use a more secure web browser that doesn't allow installing.apk's without my control than rewrite my/etc/hosts file, as an attempt to cripple malware.
I think icebike said it best above where he said, just don't install malware-ridden Android apps from dodgy warez sites. Use the Android Market.
So your solution to malware is to have users jailbreak/root their phones, and put in a bogus hosts file so that the malware cannot resolve its "control server"? And you think that's solved the problem?
Ok so what if the botnet uses IP addresses? Or the user does not have root access on their phone. Last and most important, your solution requires the user to know something about the malicious software they are installing specifically what hostnames it would try to resolve, before installing it. If the user already knows the software is malicious, why would they install it?
TV is fairly dead and I (and I imagine many many others as well) have not owned a TV or payed for Cable TV service in years.
You can get all the relevant content online (podcasts and streaming mp4, youtube, download services, etc) or simply ordering/renting DVDs. I'd consider getting a Sony-GoogleTV, for the screen (I mean my Sun CRT is nice but..) and for Netflix (now I have to use an annoying Windows Virtualbox). Buyers beware it does not seem to have a VGA input only HDMI... The cheapest model I see is $600! Better wait until that CRT breaks:)
What if you have an employee that you pay to say learn programming languages and write code. The employee tells you they didn't make any progress on projects this week because they spent their time learning. Do you as an employer have a right to know if the user spent 30 hours in non-work related websurfing?
Technically looking over your employee's shoulder is tracking them without consent. However, I agree if an employer wants to track their emplyees they should make a clear a policy saying, "What you do on the work network is your employers business. If you have an expectation of privacy with your use of employer equipment, you should work someplace else, or get a 3G card which you can use in your personal laptop at lunchtime"
Granted this sucks, but it's not quite like that. If it was really about control, they would prevent safari from visiting developer.android.com and even worse. (They don't -yet) I use an iPad as a reader (it's light and has a nice screen, and when a better Android reader is easily available, I'm sure I can pass this iPad on to someone else), and do in fact read content about the Android platform on this device "controlled" by Apple. Primarily why I bought the thing is to read books off my O'Reilly Safari bookshelf and pdfs (indeed some about Android) from the couch instead of the computer.
I have never heard of the Android Magazine, or the Android Magazine app, but this makes me want to root my iPad and try to get it from Cydia store.
