Well put. Our brains work by associating information with logically-similar information. It's a matter of how you associate things to other things. Our ability to sort through this information is where the IQ comes in. However, you prove that this doesn't make you necessarily "better" at thinking, or "better" at "things in general", because there is another part of ourselves, other than the brain.
It's the heart.
How do we measure the ability of the heart? One who has equal ability with both brains, and the heart is the true genius. You measure another person's brain, with your brain. You measure another person's heart with your heart.
Maybe that's to keep the attention of the potential prey. The prey keeps it's focus on the big spider, and then the real one pounces from behind.
I only say this because I had a dream of this same exact idea about 17 years ago.
This isn't locating a person, but a device. I think that's a good point to keep in mind. Unless you can prove that I was using that device at that time, it seems to be an invalid argument to say that I had the device, and not another person (stolen), or vehicle (left or lost).
My guess is, they're just trying to pick up some good karma, "encouraging" people to pick up a teaching career and leave, instead of just laying them off life HP did. That way, they'll be able to cut their employment costs, at the same time still retaining a positive image.
That goes without saying, I think. But what is really happening is that, and as great as the education system is America now, there would be far to many teachers, and it would then suck to be a teacher.
Isn't it funny how teachers are so admired, but at the same time, so disrespected? Teaching is not something that you do because you -needs a job man-, it's only successful if it comes from your heart. Maybe that sounds cheesy, but it's true.
I can hear it now, "Don't you talk to me like that you little shit, I use to work at IBM!"
So why did you decide on Slackware, as opposed to the myriad other options?
I chose Slackware really because Fedora Core 4 was being a bitch to install. I built a new box that has 1 SATA drive, and one IDE. The whole time, my friend that was doing the install for me kept mumbling something about Slackware. Had I known what slackware is, I would have originally chosen it.
Accually I do have a C:\ it's just spelled differently. Now it's my/mnt/hda1-c drive. I'm running WinXP on the same box, different drive.
...they always make sure that all the facts are in line, and that the reporters involved in generating the data to the general public are well informed. Come on people, this is slashdot! I thought the typical mindframe here was suppose to be closer to reality than that of the headlines, no?
No telling what this kid accually did, or can do. Obviously he's not good enough to not get caught, but we live in a world that has not fully understood the whole "hacker" thing yet, we just know it bad and sends you to hell. So in trying to make a case against someone who has "broken the law" they ALWAYS have to make sure that certain impressions are imposed on the general public.
And as for any security company wanting to hire this guy, well, he got caught, and that means that he's not very good. Because even if you get caught, you're supposed to have a way out if you know anything about security.
come on buddy, if you can't detect any humor in what I said then maybe you need to go just lighten up a bit?
Really I am a newbie, but I am finding Slackware to be something that seems to be what I've always wanted in out of computing. Also, everyone that is Slackware hip has been a tremendous help, and most seem to respect one who is brave enough to give it a shot. I would recomend it to anyone that dares look out the Windows.
I am a newbie learning slackware. Many people have warned against it, but I am not having any problem with it, other than the fact that I STILL can't find the c:\ and I can't get ANY of the *.exe files to do anything
Kinda makes me feel like rolling over and crapping my pants, and maybe gagging a bit. What's the difference between letting someone own your box, and not own your box, if someone owns your box???
"Hi I'm a 1337 Hax0r and I offer you a deal. Me and my friends will not take over your disk space if you give us some of your disk space."
It would be better to have a PC that is riddled with virus' and spyware, that infects anyone who ties up to it, and just have it as a dummy-PC for the 1337 Hax0rs to have to deal with. It wouldn't be a trojan horse, it would be a trojan castle.
It took almost two years but major record labels in Australia have finally won a legal battle against a Queensland man and his Internet Service Provider for alleged music piracy.
Stephen Cooper, operator of the mp3s4free Web site, was found guilty of copyright infringement by Federal Court Justice Brian Tamberlin.
Although Cooper didn't host pirated recordings per se, the court found he breached the law by creating hyperlinks to sites that had infringing sound recordings.
This is the first such judgement against hyperlinking in Australia.
Tamberlin found against all other respondents in the case, namely ISP Comcen, its employee Chris Takoushis, Comcen's parent company E-Talk Communications, and its director Liam Bal.
In October 2003, the record companies, which included Universal Music, Sony, Warner and EMI, alleged that Cooper cooperated with Bal and Takoushis to increase traffic to the ISP, and aide advertising revenue.
Subsequently, the court was told Cooper was unaware he may have infringed copyright law, while E-Talk and Comcen argued they didn't know of Cooper's actions.
In handing down his judgement today, Tamberlin said: "I am satisfied there has been infringement of copyright.
"I won't make formal orders as yet. But since there's been infringments...the respondents must pay the applicants' costs."
Outside the Sydney court, Music Industry Piracy Investigations general manager Michael Kerin said the verdict sent a strong message to ISPs.
"This is a very significant blow in the war against piracy.
"The court has found against all the respondents. It sends the message that ISPs who involve themselves in copyright infringement can be found guilty.
"The verdict showed that employees of ISPs who engage in piracy can be seen in the eyes of the court as guilty," Kerin said.
Cooper was not present in court. His legal counsel, Bev Stevens, said the verdict was "extremely disappointing".
The parties will only be required to pay costs -- which will be decided in 14 days once the music industry serves short minutes of orders in reponse to the judgement.
This really doesn't give a $amount, just a warning to ISPs and those who dare f%@k with the music industry. As long as you don't try to be so damn "out-in-the-open" about trading music and such, these guys won't bother with you. But go try to be a bad-ass, and this is what you'll most likely get. But really I'd be suprised if the fine is over $1,000.
You know, this used to be a good idea. But Have you noticed how many uncancled stamps there are today? It's like they only bother with about half of them. I get at least 3 a week. Maybe it's only in Alabama though.
If ALL of the/.ers got together and tried to take down google, if would probably only make a bump on their monitor.
[sarcasm]But wouldn't that be cool. Just think, every time a new guy would go into that computer room, he'd be like, "Hey man, what's wrong with that monitor? There's a wierd bump on it." The older Googlie would have to explain about the time they got slashdotted.[/sarcasm]
Girls!!! Icky icky stinky stinky! Pocket-protectors just look so wrong on women. I mean, they have boobies an stuff. Once a girl tried to kiss me! It took me 10-1/2 straight hours of programing to get her out of my head.
Correct. He is in need of some fiber-cables in order to fully enjoy this TV. He doesn't watch much brodcasted signals on this TV, mostly DVD, which is why he needs the fiber-cables.
Meanwhile, lawmakers are eager to reclaim the analog airwaves to improve public safety radio communication. Congress also wants to auction the spectrum to wireless high-speed Internet services. Such an auction is expected to raise up to $30 billion for federal coffers.
Note how they use the word "EAGER". That word always seems to loose it's value when used to define the government. It should be followed by "Mmmwahahahaaaa" in order to gain back the true definition.
...and the picture is crap. You have to be like EXACTLY 7' 8-1/2" away from it, and DIRECTLY in front of it. His excuse is that he does not have the proper set-up for it yet. That means that he does not have fiber-optics from his receiver basicly. I can't understand how it will turn out for the folks that cannot afford to buy a lot of new stuff for their TVs. I mean, not that you have to buy one for $3,000, but it seems kind of useless to -up- your signal, only if you're going to have the same viewing area.

How did the RIAA get so damn powerful anyway?

Isn't that what "Service Packs" are?
2. Bookmarks work
3. Firefox has quality & polish
4. They made a mainstream product
5. Security isnt annoying
This is just a glimps of the article, because I am a very lazy lazy man.
Really I am a newbie, but I am finding Slackware to be something that seems to be what I've always wanted in out of computing.

Both, I think are a waste of disk space.

Correct. He is in need of some fiber-cables in order to fully enjoy this TV. He doesn't watch much brodcasted signals on this TV, mostly DVD, which is why he needs the fiber-cables.
Stay tuned for an article that deals with watching grass grow, vs. watching paint dry. It'll be titled, "Linux is daddy to bitch-ass Windows".
Meanwhile, lawmakers are eager to reclaim the analog airwaves to improve public safety radio communication. Congress also wants to auction the spectrum to wireless high-speed Internet services. Such an auction is expected to raise up to $30 billion for federal coffers.
Note how they use the word "EAGER". That word always seems to loose it's value when used to define the government. It should be followed by "Mmmwahahahaaaa" in order to gain back the true definition.
