S-300 is an intrinsically defensive weapon system...
Just like a shield is a defensive device, it is meant to be use together with an offensive one. An advanced surface-to-air missile system can be used to protect a military nuclear facility, just like the one Syria had until it was taken out by Israel. Just think about what have happened would happen if Syria had continue the development of nuclear weapons at the time, and they fall under the wrong hands, which is quite possible given the current situation.
67 posts and no one has mentioned TOR yet? Everyone above has geek credentials suspended for a week.
On top of doing this, I suggest creating a TOR site mirroring all this material. The USB sticks can include the Tor Browser Bundle for all platforms and a txt file (or better yet, bookmarks) with the urls. Maybe also a note saying "Be patient, anonymous browsing is *slower*"
Wow this is great technology, how does TOR work without any Internet connection?
With Venezuela's only remaining independent tv station stated to be sold to a government sympathizer next month, the country is going in the same direction as Cuba.
Really? What is the resolution? Have you tried replacing the wifi card? You can't unless its blessed by Lenovo, the BIOS prevents the machine from booting artificially if its pci id is not in a whitelist. I will never buy Lenovo again because of this very reason.
Given I upgraded the build to have the exact card I wanted, I can't really see that being a problem for me. They have a couple options IIRC, do you just not like them or something?
I had frequent disconnections with the first card, then upgraded to the more expensive intel 6300 and while much better, still get disconnections. With the 6300 I get 86 Mbps, in a secluded area, with both laptop and access point having 3 antennas. I custom ordered this laptop without any webcam, just so I could have 3 antennas.
My previous laptop was a Sony and I could upgrade the wifi card to an atheros 9280 (2 antennas) without any problem, and got more than 200 Mbps under the same conditions, with the same access point, and no disconnections ever. So it had only 2 antennas but better speed, and a webcam, and no moronic imposed limitations.
The point is that they sell that laptop with upgradeability being one of the key points and then limit artificially what cards you can use for no other reason than forcing customers to buy their cards at double the price, under the lame excuse of FCC regulations.
I should be able to do whatever I want with my laptop and upgrade it in any way I want, after all, I paid for it.
I recently purchased an x230. It's light as hell, has an IPS display, quad core, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, and displayport. Best of all, ALL HW was detected perfectly by fedora 18.
So not all Lenovo laptops are getting worse..

For the clueless moderators, its kind of implied that internet won't be limited to the elite ruling Iran, but to the general population, just like in Cuba, North Korea, and other autocracies.
These guys are smoking dope, don't believe a word they say
Is that supposed to be funny or just plain ignorant?
1. The name of the country is Colombia, not Columbia. 2. Colombia isn't a big marijuana producer or consumer. Paraguay and Mexico are the big producers, and the biggest consumers (by population percentage) in America are the US and Canada.
I created a Skype account long before it was bought by Microsoft, and I used a secret and unique email address for this purpose. After Microsoft acquired Skype, I started receiving emails from Facebook to this email address. I also started receiving emails from Skype saying that they have suspended my credit "temporarily" in Skype because I haven't used it in a while, but that I can "reactivate" it any time I want in their website. To me this sounds like "its just the tip".
That's an interesting point. Many of the blond hair, blue eyed Israeli citizens hail from Germany, Poland, Russia, the U.S. Because they are currently Jewish, they have rights.
But those brown people, the Christians and Muslims, could they not have also been Jews too once? Jews that later converted to Christianity and Islam. The original people that lived in the land called Israel, 2000+ years ago.
Look around the neighborhood (Leb, Egypt,, Syria, etc.), they're all pretty brown too.
Just thinking...
Not all jews are white, there are black jews too and they are treated the same way with the same rights.
In 1991 there was a military operation in which 34 israeli airplanes were sent to rescue the Ethiopian jews from Eritrean and Tigrean rebels, they transported more than 14,000 black jews to Israel, in my opinion that is quite impressive. I know if I was in a similar situation my own country wouldn't move a finger for me.
But then you find out that they're displacing the people living in those areas and then just gifting that land to Israeli settlers and you're like "WTF?!?! How are they ever going to undo that? You can't just go to the settlers and say 'Okay. Time to come back home, we are giving that land back to the Palestinians...'".
The problem is not the software error, its the malicious intention of the developer by coding an app to humiliate the user behind his back with his friends whenever it thinks it was pirated. Even if the piracy detection works, the intention is still there. What's next? posting your private pictures to facebook? Sending your passwords to the developers?
As a happy owner of a Sharp Aquos TV, I really hope Sharp can survive.
In Japan, Sharp is the only brand of TVs with both Japanese and English menu settings. My 3 year old Sharp TV even has an RS-232 port that I have connected to my HTPC and I use it to control most things from it: power on/off, change input, volume, etc. The TV even came with a manual describing the protocol, what else could I ask for?
I have checked their newer models and unfortunately they have removed this feature. I am hoping to find some similar control capability via the network port, with an open protocol, but haven't found anything yet (I welcome any hints!).
The only thing my Sharp TV doesn't do well is displaying the image properly when using nouveau, but since it works well when using the nvidia driver I'm not sure if its a buggy EDID implementation from Sharp or nouveau.
I have a Nokia N95, N900, and N9 and feel the same way about these fine devices of mine, (and use each every day around the house for SIP calls, sync'd emails, calendars, alarms, BASH scripts over SSH, and RSS).
I hope you are not using that n900 for sip calls, cause its voip stack is full of unresolved bugs. Nokia always had an almost good voip implementation, always with some minor annoying bugs, but the n900 takes the prize.
If you look hard enough, you will find that marriage was in fact frequent between very young girls and men. Even among Christians and Jews. Not sure about 9-10 years old but then again who can really accurately tell us the age of those girls?
Not only that, but I have strong reasons to believe that Moses was a picker.
It's a shame that PC games don't allow the user to control everything with a gamepad. I'm talking about starting the game, configuring settings, etc, just like in consoles. Not even in opensource games, I never see this. That makes them impossible or inconvenient to play from a HTPC.

#1 Most Used/Biggest Marketshare on PC Desktops + Servers combined, & it's "losing relevance"? Then MacOS X + Linux never had it @ all, just based on the numbers, & don't argue with me - as the saying goes, "argue with the numbers": See here, "Read 'em & weep" -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems

Parent said "Windows is slowly losing relevance", the article you refer to shows current market share of operating systems, not change in time, so here are some relevant numbers you can argue with. From September 2008 to April 2012: Windows: 90.87% -> 84.13% Mac: 8.69% -> 14.80% Linux: 0.41% -> 0.86%
So it seems it is true that Windows is slowly losing relevance. In the same period of time Linux doubled its usage. And I suspect they are not taking into account mobile devices such as cellphones and tablets.
I've used AND created OpenGL screensavers for Windows since Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003 - based on the OpenGL 2.1 standard
If your screensavers look anything like your posts, I'm not interested.
The challenge is finding someone who is an exact match and have the genetics that is resistant to HIV. It might work for those lucky few, but people already have challenges finding a match without the HIV criteria.
FTFA: "The findings may not apply to all patients. Both men were a little unusual in that they had a genetic mutation that can make immune cells resistant to infection by HIV. Their new immune cells, however, which came from the donors, are fully susceptible to the virus."

Looks like the price of freedom is pretty steep.
It's not like we are starved for wifi dongles that "just work" on Linux without NDISWrapper. We're not in 2003.
eg: http://dx.com/p/802-11n-150mbps-wifi-wlan-wireless-network-usb-adapter-53538 $10 bucks including shipping, and there are TONS cheaper than this. I just looked for one that specifically said "Linux compatible".
As a matter of fact, I wish it "just worked".
I have one of these dongles, and last time I tried to use it I was hitting this bug:

Microsoft business practices at its best.
I am facing exactly the same problem.
This is my first and last Lenovo for this reason.
The country you are referring to is called "United States of America".
It is written like that in the Declaration of Independence and in the Articles of Confederation, and its known like that by everybody in the world.
Some people say "America" colloquially to refer to the USA, but it is simply wrong.
That's an interesting point. Many of the blond hair, blue eyed Israeli citizens hail from Germany, Poland, Russia, the U.S. Because they are currently Jewish, they have rights.

Mmm perhaps like this?
You could also flip the question around and ask what Linux stuff is keeping you from using Windows?
The freedom of having access to the source code of not only the kernel but pretty much everything.
The problem is not the software error, its the malicious intention of the developer by coding an app to humiliate the user behind his back with his friends whenever it thinks it was pirated.
Even if the piracy detection works, the intention is still there.
What's next? posting your private pictures to facebook? Sending your passwords to the developers?
Yes, its from Pheonix, just found it and will give it a try, thanks for the tip!

I second that, after being an AVG user for a long time, I made the big mistake of trying Avira.
I think the nagging is much worse than the viruses.

Google might not make the right decisions sometimes, but it is nowhere close to the evil empire that Microsoft is.
See this for a good example of what I'm talking about:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AARD_code
"What the [user] is supposed to do is feel uncomfortable, and when he has bugs, suspect that the problem is DR-DOS and then go out to buy MS-DOS."
It's a shame that PC games don't allow the user to control everything with a gamepad. I'm talking about starting the game, configuring settings, etc, just like in consoles. Not even in opensource games, I never see this.

So where is the URL to download the CSV automatically on a weekly basis and import it into my proxy?
