The obvious conclusion: "They stopped buying CDs due to piracy!"
Now I DL FREE (as in beer, and some as in freedom) music. I still think they count me as a pirate. Right now, I can't think of an obvious course of action.
And to answer any doubters - no, there is not a scroll bar. (as per usuall complaints)
To answer the original question, yes I do code to W3C. Mostly so I don't end up in an eternal "chase the latest bug" problem others run into when new browsers appear, or even just new versions.
Of course there are some compliant pages that refuse to render right in one or two browsers on the first pass, but debugging them against various browsers is alot easier than getting an IE web page to render correct in firefox, for example.
I've ran into this. They often use a LIVE CD type tool that can only read MS NTFS/FATxx. They have no unix tools, nor the ability to read in alternate file structures.
It was rather like watching a script kiddie. Pathetic really, what passes as an investigation.
How large is the scope of installed workstations?
Net Bios may help. But I get the idea you think hardware is the key.
NOPE.
White box it and call it a day. There's no way you can come up with a cost effective device that doesn't = a white box with some traces cut.
Sorry.
If your company has delt with secret.. you should know all the hardware involved with secret++.
I'm thinking you're not a.mil, so... no more info.
Well, as an ex-army (shall we say... digitally experienced) spec-4, I'd recommend minimum of air gap.
Air-gap = no 2 network cards on 1 machine. No floppy. No CD-r/dvd-r/ect. No USB writeable. No F-in' writable at all (even unauthorsed paper walking out the door).
The idea of "secret" is that you want to slow the out-flow of info.
This isn't a question about "what is the right computer", it's addressed by "who is the right guard"
You can guard your computers by limiting the I/O; more I than O..
The make of x86, or other comp (eg PPC) is today, irrelevent. O/S can slow some PPL. encryption.. better yet.
But always assume someone with root (or close to root) is looking for a little cash.
FCC.. Not sure they do wired (might be wrong)... but they stopped calling after about 10-15ish times of me explaining why I don't want AOL (especially no linux). I/think\ it's still on my credit though (this was going on up to about 2 weeks ago)
Oh man, did I have a problem.....
I was on concast... moved (but had a spankin' new computer with 3 Mos free AOL) so I signed up to hold me over 'till I had everything set up for broadband again...
So things got set up.. canceled AOL... Hundreds of dollars later, they claim they never got my money (LOL) and want up to date payment (1 yr or so) and I NEVER canceled (according to them)... I remember AOL from the'80s, I never thought they would try to screw me out of $100s and F with my credit... but they did.
GOD I HATE THEM NOW.
I have family who internet==AOL, some are comming around.. but...
To my memory, in the biginning... (LOL) to when I first went online (1981ish) it was for the easy exchange of digital info; security was a secondary concern due to the usual usage (by scientists, ect), oh... and ZORK. Mostly ZORK.
Being a tiechie is tough enough, but an actor too? I can talk in front of ppl just fine, as long as the subject is tech, but I'm horrbily lost when I gotta do someone elses role,ie: acting.
As much as I love Will's work, I can't imagine doing it for over 30mins or so.
Can I see you on a "techie" show? I'd like to see a fellow slashdotter on the big screen...?
PM/email me if you get on one of "my" shows, I wold love it.
Exactly not. I want a HHGTTG similar enough for screen. I'm not prone to think hollywood can recreate a book, on screen, that would be a days long afair.
Me too. I hadda revert to true IP addresses yesterday. I'm not a truely skillfull network admin, but I decided to get bind (9-10?) up and runing as a back-up.
I had full-speed contact with the 'net, but no DNS at all. Type in http:....", screwed.
Most ppl aren't much concerned with the 16 year old who looks 20.
As a person who is the father of 2 _little_ _little_ girls who were victims of abuse; I'm very concerned with ppl who get thier fix from kids.
We realy do need to identify these ppl and remove them from situations where they can interact with our kids. Since this issue has came up, I've done _alot_ of thinking, and if the person didn't physically do anything, then I support removing him/her from our kid's suroundings (SP?). Not necessairly prison (most ppl who are into this are that way 'cause of uncle Joe, and the trip to the cabin), but remove them from our kids' world.
My interation with law enforcement has been of like mind. They're parents who wanna keep thier kids safe, not gung-ho freaks who wanna throw everyone in prison.
my 2 cents (had more to say, but thisa edit window is so small... arg)
I did the same thing for linux... I pressed the update button... (longer than usual progress bar filling) Then nothing. So I decided to grab the torrent (thanks slashdot)... then installed. Everything OK.
But I; like you (I think) don't expect mom and pop to know this.
Is the "update" button working under M$ yet?
Anyone who uses firefox under M$ let me know please!
Hrrm, well, yes, you're ALMOST right, but the experiment is exploring the idea that time is like/simmilar to space (x,y,z if you like). You're really not that far off, but backwards.
I'm not trolling you at all. I commend your "native" (for lack of annother word) insight.

I thought of this years ago.
The obvious conclusion:
"They stopped buying CDs due to piracy!"
Now I DL FREE (as in beer, and some as in freedom) music. I still think they count me as a pirate.
Right now, I can't think of an obvious course of action.
Konqueror 3.5.2 is also displaying it perfectly.

oh boy, you must be dealing with some low level MRE ingredients lists, or something.

no

Not at all.

Again: sorry, but I live in MN, so if your ever here, let me know, so I can see you on stage.
LOL, I didn't meen just movies.

True! mod parent up!
PS: not trying to break your balls, or nothing, but: A techie and and actor? Holly crap, you must have real issues.
And somehow I get the feeling that I'll go to the theater and buy the "super-duper" DVD anyways.
Sometimes I am a mindless drone, so I can show ppl where some of my jokes come from.
I hope my kids can like it though. It allways seemed 'kinda 10ish, or is that because thats about how old I was when I read it?
pls, pls be right. I wanna see this thing. The books/ect were awsome, sweet, all that '80s crap.
Not trolling... I really did like the books, they gave me a '80 flashback when I re-read them recently.
Well I though of mavin somewhat similar to the movie's portrail; small, roundish uninpressive.
Me too. I hadda revert to true IP addresses yesterday. I'm not a truely skillfull network admin, but I decided to get bind (9-10?) up and runing as a back-up.

Thank you, I hate group-think.

OK, now my brain is hurting.
Has anyone else notice the ads at the top of the page? (I don't block banner ads here, seing as I really like this site)
PS my (REAL) sig cancels your fake sig. Should I follow you around?
"You must be new here."
Please don't onfuse slashdot with FOX NEWS. Especially today. It will only hurt your brain.
Thankyou! My brain (along with many others', I guess) melted long ago. My real question is why wasn't it Bill Gates? Would have been funnier.
