Agreed! And I'm based in Ontario. I suppose it is a coincidence that Rogers, the cable monopoly, is launching a streaming content service (movies, sports, etc) called Shomi that competes directly with Netflix. Rogers has too much influence with govt and needs to be broken up.
Editor should be SlickEdit. Programming language should be JavaScript execution of Java code converted with GWT. That's a science experiment right there.
How about setting up firewall rules to only allow SSH from specific source IPs or IP ranges?
While some folks may require access to servers from unpredictable locations, I bet many are like me and only need access from some specific locations. A firewall rule allows you to drop SSH requests versus exposing an open port and putting a sign out saying "SSH here, I dare you to try and break in".
Marijuana possession in Canada gets you the equivalent of a j-walking ticket. No criminal record, unless you have a lot (more than a few ounces?) or are trafficing. My Canadian police buddy tells me people routinely spark up in public and as long as they don't disturb the peace the cops leave them alone. That's not so draconian IMO.
How do they handle the latency involved in getting signals from planes in Iraq to control consoles (and back again)? I would think something close to real-time would be needed to actually fly, land, aim missiles, etc. Bouncing off satellites would be a 100ms round-trip would it not?
If the camera on the plane beams that video to the US, then a pilot reacts to whatever obstacle he's about to fly into and his control signals work their way back to the plane, while the plane is moving at 100's of mile an hour, I would expect some issues.
Technology like this operates under the assumption that ALL users are criminals until proven innocent and blatantly violates the 4th amendment(in the U.S. at least).
I don't see how monitoring assumes all users are criminals. Do police speed traps assume all drivers are speeders?
Out of the box?? I use Ubuntu (Hardy) on a 3Ghz Quad-core and had big performance issues when moderate amount of IO was happening (eg. copy some files while using OpenOffice or Pidgin or FF.
I got things to work better by tweaking the thread scheduler to deadline, tweak 'swappiness' and some others I don't recall. Took days of research.
It still has occasionally Gnome UI lockups but it's usable now. I didn't treak XP at all to get concurrent processes without GUI lockups.
I'm sticking with Linux for a number of reasons, but performance on my quads is not one of them.
The library model is an interesting point. The author and publisher were compensated by the library once, but beyond that they see no revenue from readers. This is mitigated by the fact that there is generally one copy of a book available and only one person can have it checked out at a time. Libraries are not like Blockbuster promising to always have a copy of the latest and greatest available.
If we take this "pay if you like it" concept and apply it to movies and plays, you would only pay on the way out, and only if you choose to. Downloading a movie or book from the Internet and paying later, maybe, is the same thing IMO.
Sorry to be harsh. I did the same thing. But after reading the electronic versions, I understood what all the fuss was about and went and got a paperback version so I could enjoy the writing and admire the artwork without sitting in front of a computer, and also so Moore and Gibbons received whatever royalties they still get from the sales of their original work. They deserve it.
To be clear, you're saying people should only pay to read a book, see a movie, etc, if they end up liking it?
The $30 per month is common to all customers, whereas the additional charge (band rate) differs based on where you are, and for Teksavvy range from $7.25 to $25.10 monthly.
Why don't they just do another 2 seasons of BSG? It probably costs more per episode versus this family drama but will do much better in re-runs/syndication and Bluray sales.
you'll need strong arms...

or an eBook reader. I picked up the Sony PRS-505 last month and read several books using it. Love it. I can carry a metric ton of books in one hand. Anathem may be next.
Seems to me any machines in a "enterprise server farm" would be firewalled. Certainly any machines in a data center worth its salt would be firewalled and thus not accepting connections on the port being exploited here.
I think the bigger threat here is workstations exploiting workstations at enterprise. Even home users are probably ok with basic firewalling.

Would you have preferred someone else had them first?

frag count is still zero.
Because we make great pets.
Why protect their identity? Which well-known computer shop?

Stealth is better.

I don't recall being invited to a DNF beta program.
Of course I managed to completely blow the quote. Perception, ya, that's it.
An ounce of prevention, a pound of obscure?

I downloaded all of the comics

How do you tune a pringles can?

Teksavvy only offers Dry DSL at locations where Bell can provide DSL. Teksavvy and others like them are resellers of Bell's DSL services.
I think he means D.B. Cooper theft.

I'm just gonna write my own "whoosh!" for this one. wtf?
with all those uber-hot Swedish women around?
