What poses a greater risk an angry person with a sword or an angry person with an automatic assault rifle? In a crowd most at least people can outrun someone carrying a heavy sword and jumping over bodies of his victims. However in some countries swords are regulated as are very long knives.
Maybe swords should be regulated too. Anything that makes killing easy probably should be.
It also might be interpreted that there is no constitutional right to arms for those who are not in a militia. Afaict most gun owners are not in any kind of militia even an unregulated one.
A lot of so called "gun nuts" are not really a threat to anyone, but IMHO it is really HARD to keep a gun physically secure (unless you have a private security firm to guard your weapons) I know when I get car insurance they ask questions like "does anyone else drive your car". Imagine if gun owners needed to buy gun liability insurance and key questions were asked like "do you have any one with previous or current psychological or criminal issues in your home". I'm not saying that insurance is the right answer, but just as a thought it probably would get a more formal risk assesment done.
It becomes everyone's business when your property is a hazard or risk to others. If you on a sweater that's fine. A gun is more like a car. If you want to own it and operate it there some regulations to limit the risk that your neighbors have to endure.
I think what you are seeing is web-applications hosted on Linux being hacked. Apache and MySQL run on Windows too although the WAMP stack is harder to keep updated than the LAMP stack.
But I don't disagree with you. Hosting applications on Linux does not make them ecure. It takes a lot of time and energy. The same is true for Windows. The iframe-injecting kernel module that you linked to is really quite interesting.
Where the rubber meets the road, I think Linux and BSD still win in performance, security and manageability, but you are correct, the margins are a lot slimmer. Windows Server 2008 is not Windows 95 or XP.
If you get enough fat from vegetables, your body will make all the cholesterol that it needs. Human bodies do not need to eat cholesterol. We do need to eat fats, protein, salt and carbs. Excess cholesterol is associated with heart disease (check AHA), the leading killer in these United States and maybe soon the world.
Soy is also bad for you, pretty much on par with flour if not worse, and bread often includes it. Yeah, I know, the Chinese lived off of it for some long assed time, and so did blah blah other culture. These guys lived off of it because they literally had nothing else to eat, so either eat soy or starve.
Tofu is a luxury item, not something one eats when starving. There is a lot of processing and waste. If you are starving you eat soybeans directly. If you want a delicious, expensive treat... tofu!
Yeah because our bodies are so well-equipped to deal with cholesterol. That is why the American Medical Association is suggesting replacing our bread with beef will prevent heart attacks.
btw I would definitely buy online before shopping at fry's or walmart. But small businesses are the first choice! The human factor is important! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_business
When someone says shop local, they don't mean shop at the local Walmart or Fry's or (other chain here). They are talking about a small scale enterprise usually owned by an individual or a family or small set of partners. A better example would be a local bicycle shop.
I shop at the local bicycle shop for commodity items such as tubes, tires, patch kits when I need them right away. They are about double the price of Amazon or online, but very convenient. Well before there was a local bike shop I used to do one fairly large order 1 time / year and even with the shipping it was a lower price, but I prefer to pay more at the bike shop... ot because of the convenience, but because of the service.
Whenever I need an adjustment or some specialized tool that I don't have, they always let me borrow their tools or throw the bike on their stand for free. I do 99% of bike maintenance myself, but it's good to consult with folks who do this on a daily basis and also look at other bikes, etc.
Also local shops tend to have more good events like bicycle clinics, rides, book readings, open mic nights, et cetera. Local shops can and will engage and participate in the community in a way that the giants will not and cannot.
A good local store strengthens your community, improves property value, and broadly increases the quality of life in your area. It's a tough choice when funds are limited and buying online is convenient and easy, but I would also encourage you to shop local whenever possible. You might be able to get a cheaper guitar online, but you will not meet other local musicians to play with that way;-)
What if he was exposing great illegality (which he probably was)? Let's say for instance Manning found hard evidence that George Bush planned 9/11? That's an extreme example of course, but would you say his duty to step in line as a soldier outweighed his duties as a US citizen and a human being to expose these hypothetical extreme crimes? If you believe a private should be an unthinking robot and allow his superiors to bury evidence of crimes they are commiting, I believe that you are taking an unreasonable stance.
What do you do for SPAM? Running a small (less than 10 users) email system over the years, I've had to upgrade from a dual PII to a dual PIII and most recently just got an i7. To be fair I didn't need to get the i7, but the entire system was cheap and the dual PIII had problems that I didn't want to investigate (most likely bad RAM).
Postfix+mailscanner+spamassassin are not cheap to run! Dspam is maybe a lot lighter than spamassassin. But once you have an active mailserver on the internet you get significant IO/CPU load unfortunately.
I looked into replacing my TV computer with an ARM system from TRIM-SLICE, but it wouldn't pay for itself in power savings in less than 5 years. I hope these better CPUs will be *cheap* as well as low power. That will spur adoption here!
Really you don't think other countries have constitutions and their own statements of rights? Have you checked this? I'm pretty sure there are other democracies in the world.
US has some more economic and mineral resources than Somalia too.
It works great and you can watch DVDs legally in Linux. I wish it were easily available (other than through buying a computer model which Dell only sold for a short period.
I'm a bicycle tourist (80-120 miles a day when I'm on vacation) and daily commuter (only 10 miles a day). I never where traditional bike clothes, but any comfortable clothes are fine. For me its loose (not night) stretchy shorts in the summer and expedition weight polypropelene underwear + fleece + pants in the winter and over course whatever rain gear is necessary.
I suppose I'm not as aerodynamic as if I shaved off all my body hair and rubbed myself with grease, but with the panniers, 2 laptops (well not on vacation, but for work), tools and other things I carry, I'm probably not going to win any races. I think the only people who care about optimizing wind-resistance and weight are in competitions. Hey that 10% more work I do might mean 10 less lbs the way I eat;-)
Yeah but you cannot review the code that lives on providers cloud of webservers. For instance althouhg you can view the source to google mail's html and javascript in your browser (and even muck with it using the right ff plugins), there is not any practical way for you to deploy your own gmail on your own server.
A lot of webaps are open source, but if you dont even control the application when its runnign in. I don't know if I have a side, but there is a big shift. For instance with Microsoft office, Microsoft cannot "track you" using their software. Of course I like OpenOffice more than Microsoft, and even though GoogleApps makes collaboration over the Internet a lot easier, it does mean google can track everyone who is using their software. This is definitely something new and a different kind of evil that Microsoft probably never thought of in the early days of poor connectivity.
An open source alternative to googleApps that anyone can deploy on their own PlugPC (or other device) server could allow us to transition to web-based apps and protect against being ruled by vendors. I kind of see free software as inevitably becoming better than proprietary software over time.
Accounting software that someone else has written just gets in the way and will never meet your needs exactly. Just use vim, and perl to do your accounting. If you need to print a check, write a postscript file and | to lp. If your accountant doesn't like it, give them an O'Reilly book.
In all seriousness, that's what I'll probably do someday. However like everyone else says, that might be unwise. Might be smarter to wait until your restaurant has been running for a few years. Right now you can use Linux on a WRT54g to run your free restaurant wifi (or maybe implement a netreg system), and a fileserver for your backups (which I hope are going to be synced offsite), and also a webserver so people can read your menu and maybe even place takeout/delivery orders online.
I don't know if he unappreciated, but his appreciation certainly does not do justice to his talent and the quality of the writings he gave us. A lot of his stuff is available through Project Gutenberg and even librivox.org. I'd highly recommend everyone check out both Fritz Lieber's sword and sorcerer type fantasy as well as his amazing sci-fi short stories and novels.
Green tea has less caffeine than black tea, but arguably is much healthier (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/coffee-vs-tea/). Green tea is less processed than black tea, but white tea which is even less processed has less caffeine and may have the most health promoting properties. I've swapped out my daily pot of joe with a daily pot of green/white mix and do feel a lot better! Even with a few chocolate espresso beans now and then, no insomnia:)

Galaxy S1 is easy to root! You have to be careful and follow instructions, but it's easy. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S
Also Samsung has it's own update process called Kies, but it won't give you root: http://pages.samsung.com/ca/androidupgrade/English/
