Within the past few years, I've really come to believe that the old adage "ignorance is bliss," is completely true. Day after day of being bombarded with news of terrorist warnings, new diseases, new laws, scandals, etc. I am just tired of hearing all of it. I rarely hear a piece of single genuinely good news on the Internet or TV - yes, I still do watch TV news often. It's depressing. The worst part of all of this, is that I feel there is nothing that I can do as a single person with any of these pieces of information. Can I personally impeach a president? Can I personally launch an investigation of some corrupt corporation? It all makes you feel very helpless as an individual in our modern society, and that's not a good feeling.
I suppose my attitude is a huge part of it. I could be more positive about the information that I'm seeing on a regular basis, but since so little of it is positive news, it sure is tough to keep that attitude up.
But what allows it to take on SYSTEM priveleges? Is there a privelege escalation exploit being used by the bug, or is it allowed to do so because most users already have Administrator priveleges? There are simple tricks that allow any Administrator-level Windows user to take on SYSTEM priveleges. These don't work for limited user accounts, without the help of a privelege escalation exploit.
This is a question that needs to be answered, like, right now. I'm using a LUA, but I'm not sure if I'm protected as such. I would bet that I am, but I'm not about to try.
This would be nice. I was basically kicked out of a LUG meeting the first time I went a few years back. Why? I didn't use Linux, I used BSD. Apparently I wasn't "free enough" or something to that effect. My decision to use BSD was viewed as one that was anti-Linux, and was not appreciated.

NetBSD v3.0 Released

True. I recently dug out my VLC and decided to put in a bigger disk and move up from 1.5.... Nothing works. The MOP bootloader does not work, had to use the one from 1.5. Once I got it booted and ran the installer, the HD boot blocks to not work, even after running 'installboot' as advertised (another showstopper bug). Not even the 1.5 bootblocks will work now. So I have this system installed, but I can't even boot to it.
I'd love to contribute to fixing it, but I'm not a programmer by any means. I think that to use some of the more obscure NetBSD ports, you really need to be one.
Yeah I've seen these pages too, but then I remember that they're almost fifteen years old, and X is quite different now then it was then. Some fundamental design flaws remain, but much of the other idiocies have been resolved. This new build system solves what was probably the worst design issue of the X codebase.
Kazaa was good in its day, but offers little to no anonymity, and is completely infiltrated by RIAA/MPAA/*. So, if you want to go to jail, go ahead and use Kazaa to download your copyrighted material.
That being said, few people are still using it. Nobody will care. Those that do care, can now move on to a better client/network.
When customers are OBSESSED with your product, they'll usually buy it no matter waht. Many anime fans seem to have nothing else on their minds but seeing the latest season of Bigeyes Tokyo, or whatever the hell it's called.
I for one am tired of seeing every forum, newsgroup, and irc channel I visit being flooded by these morons.

GCC 4.1 Released

Oh there's no problem with enforcing strict standards. The only problem I have is when the compiler refuses to compile non-standard code without providing compatibility switches. I'm sure there are such switches present in gcc3/4, but I haven't figured out what they are.
Not necessarily. Even in your average gas engine, the ratio of air to fuel is 14:1. Air makes up the majority of the intake charge. There would not be enough liquid fuel present to leak out. However, I doubt that a paper model engine could be built strong enough to contain the compression required to create downforce on the piston once the charge is ignited. Much less contain the explosion itself.
Wow. What a worthless reply this was.

Gcc has a history of, well, sucking arse for the first few major revisions of any release tree. Is gcc 4 ready for prime-time now, or should I continue on with gcc 3.x? I've already heard of gcc 4 enforcing strict rules that breaks otherwise functional code. I remember how much of a headache that was when gcc 3 rolled around and started spitting out compiler errors that basically said "your code is ugly."
Slackware will always be the first choice for any self-respecting BSD nerd who must use Linux for whatever reason. For that reason alone, I hope Slackware stays afloat.

Just look at the picture of the guy. It says all you need to know. Pretentious, overinflated self-worth, and a (masked) double-chin to boot.

Maybe you can tell me where you live, so I can wish that the nearest natural disaster will bury YOUR communist Linux hippie ass.

That's great. I'm moving all of my scripts to Python now. If the guy's name is Guido, it's gotta be good!

They'll continue to build the gaming software into their Series 60 phones, but gaming won't be a priority for them until 2007.
So, they plan to fail in 2007 as well?
