Hacking into PBX systems was something of a pastime for phreakers in the U.S. in the 1980s; who knows, they might still be doing it.The PBX systems would be terminated with toll-free numbers. What the businesses who own the PBXs pay for long distance is a lot higher than what you and I would pay.
The thing is, though, that large U.S. corporations, in particular, have replaced a lot of their traditional lines with VOIP. Since most calls are campus-to-campus -- e.g., at IBM a call between, say, Boca Raton, FL, and Armonk, NY -- calls are routed over the company's already existing network lines by using VOIP, thus eliminating long distance charges. So I wonder how many of them are still having PBX systems with the ability to call in and dial out via an 800 number?
Of course, in the most popular form of numerology, there are no two-digit numbers. So there is no 13. You would take the two digits of 13 and add them together, so 13 would be 1+3=4. The number 4 is one of stable partnerships.
Police are local law enforcement, like the local constables in the U.K.. The FBI is the national 'detective bureau' (think "Scotland Yard"), the The U.S. Marshals are like the police, but on the national level. The Secret Service's primary job is to protect the president, vice president, and their families, and to investigate counterfeiting. The NSA consists of a bunch of computer jocks and crypto nerds breaking codes and whatnot -- they do signal intelligence. The CIA is focused international intelligence. The Department of Homeland Security's primary mission is anti-terrorism on U.S. soil -- preventing attacks as opposed to investigating attacks.
Beats having one all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful organization (think "KGB").
On the basis? That they're NOT bundling IE now? I despise Microsoft as much as the next Ubuntu DVD-wielding geek, but if they pull IE out of Windows 7 in Europe, along with the stuff they opened up (apparently to the EC's satisfaction) haven't they complied with the EC's demands? Does the EC have something else on Microsoft?
I'm just a bit puzzled here. Someone enlighten me.
Actually, just like any other search, it just shows ALL of the likely results and you are still responsible for determining for yourself which of the statements is true. It says "CIA killed JFK" but the first result it returns is "Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK". It also seems to pare down the results somewhat, because I know I've seen conspiracies also suggesting that the KGB killed JFK, or that the Mafia killed JFK. I'm guessing that more people think the CIA killed JFK than the KGB or the Mafia.
Yes. In fact, I know 3 people with Crohn's disease, and it is, in fact, difficult to diagnose. I realize 3 people doesn't make a study, but all 3 were undiagnosed for years, despite each having seen a veritable army of doctors. The problem is that symptom-wise Crohn's disease often looks like a lot of other stuff, like ulcerative colitis, dysteria (and other viruses), lactose intolerance, food allergies, various infections, etc. With the flare-ups as described, it goes like this:
Patient: I've had diarrhea and cramps for 2 weeks now. Doctor: Huh. Probably an infection. Here, let's give you some antibiotics.
A couple of weeks later, everything is cleared up, doctor assumes that the antibiotic worked. The patient then gets another flare up, doctor think it's something else, lather, rinse and repeat.

Slashdot doesn't have an agenda of open source. Maybe it used to, but not anymore. If it does seem like open source is posted a lot, it's because, well, open source is in the press a lot. Companies are cutting costs with the economy and one of the most popular methods employed is by rolling out new open source strategies.
You can always just turn it off for yourself. That's what I do.
Anyway, what did you not like about my post? It was intended to draw the types of comments the parent posted. I wasn't so much interested in griping as finding out what other people really think.
I have no inside information, but it's apparent to me that Slsahdot is trying to be the new 'Facebook' or 'MySpace' for geeks. Or something. I'm expecting any day now the ability to add tacky photos, weird fonts and poor layouts to your journal pages.
Furthermore, I think that much of the original geek crowd is gone or mostly in lurk mode. So they are doing their best to attract a younger audience.
It's the buzzword quotient, you know, the BWQ. A tech article is measured in how "cool" it is, especially for the droids working in IT management -- you know, the ones with no computer skills whatsoever that used to work in marketing and now head whole IT departments because they thought they could get a cool title like CIO and matching paycheck? -- by it's BWQ. The more buzzwords, the higher the BWQ, the higher the BWQ, the more likely it will be read those former marketing people with the title "CIO".
The more buzzwords you use, the more smart and important you sound. Hence, you should be discussing these servers as 'green energy cost-reduction centers for cloud computing,' or other such nonsense. If you do that in front of the right people, you'll get promoted to CIO! But I think you have to be wearing a "power tie" when you do it.
Reminds me of those "diskless workstations" which cost more than an equivalent computer. It always seemed like a scheme to sell computers with no hard drive and make a killing.
Additionally, fans without some kind of enclosure wouldn't provided for proper airflow. AMD's and Intel's system design recommendations both state that a proper enclosure is necessary and even give details as to how that closure should work with regard to airflow.
And you can quit calling it "cloud" now... they're just hosting providers and you know it.
Hmmmm.....actually that reminds me. While eating breakfast this morning, I had this crazy idea: if you were doing compute/web hosting with whitebox servers, would that be "White Cloud computing"? Just wondering.

Exactly. As (I think) you guessed, I was implying that this also applies to Linux: some WiFi adapters work perfectly well in Linux (The Broadcom adapters coming on most Dell laptops these days come to mind), others need coaxing. The end is the same: don't buy WiFi adapters that suck.

It's the reason why, for example, you have the right to recite Shakespeare in public, even though you are probably not Shakespeare.
Hence! I am Sir Shakespeare, thou clod insensitive!

All it needs is an envelope that can survive the sulfuric acid clouds and rain, and the temperatures
And now, you see exactly what impaledsunset means. We're about as good ask for legal advice.
Agreed. It doesn't matter. If what some are saying is true, SAP, Microsoft, and all other publishers of closed-source software are slowly becoming irrelevant.
This isn't criminal court, it's civil court. Understand the difference.

Nevermind on the last part. I didn't see the post you were talking about until later.

And yes, this did degenerate to porn already.

Old source code gives us ideas,
Like "WTF did they do here?!", "Why did they do it THAT way?!" and "That has got to be the ugliest kludge I've ever seen!"
Of course its also invaluable to have their nemisises Multics and VMS alos preserved.
Multics was hardly a 'nemesis' of Unix. Multics was basically dead when Unix arrived; its death inspired Ken Thompson and company to work on Unix.
