Every media source is free from fact checking. That includes the Big Media. Hell, if they had done their fact checking then they would have never helped generate as much public support for the invasion and occupation of Iraq as they did.
It is a well-known fact in most of Europe and Britain that there were no such "sleeper cells". In fact, many of the supposed videos and recordings have been proven to be forgeries.
Again, I ask, what have you done to alert the general public to your precarious situation? Freedom doesn't come free to those who sit on their ass and let themselves be oppressed! If you truly want Internet freedom, then you must make some effort to obtian and then protect it.
If you combine the raw processing power of multiple multicore Intel processors with the stunning visual and multimedia capabilities of Mac OS X, the Battlefield experience could be revolutionized. Indeed, the future Intel-based Apple computers may be the tour de force necessary to move PC gaming away from being a Microsoft OS-specific activity.
Personally, I don't think bloggers would tolerate a blogging tax in America. If anything, such bloggers would probably just host their blogs on servers outside of American jurisdiction. The blog serving business would boom in Mexico, Canada and Europe.
Have you written letters to the editors of newspapers? Have you written letters to your governmental representatives? Have you published blog articles that explained this issue?
Indeed, such censorship is very anti-freedom, especially if it is being partaken in by a public, tax-payer-funded educational facility.
They "abuse" the freedom to blog in what way? They publish ideas, views and opines that you disagree with? Remember, that is not "abusing" freedom. That is merely voicing a view that displeases you, for whatever reason. That is what freedom is all about.
DEC did a fair bit of research and development into such composite systems back in the late 1980s. That is why today systems like Tru64 UNIX are so adept at virtual networked systems. It's too bad that HP has squandered the gem it picked up from DEC (via Compaq) in Tru64.
It's well known that OSNews.com is not taken seriously by the well-educated, intellectual open-source community. In fact, they are a complete laughing stock at many far more reputable blogs.
SGI machines are built to last. They are built to perform. Even if they aren't the fastest or most powerful computers out there, they are amongst the most reliable and industructable systems built. You might get minor performance boosts from an nVidia-based PC, but don't be surprised if that PC overheats and dies within a year. SGI has military-grade strength and quality. PC hardware does not.
Blogs are the modern versions of the small, local newspapers the Founding Fathers had. They allow lone individuals to reach the masses with minimal effort and overhead. It is no wonder that blogs are leading the freedom train.
What exactly is wrong with making a checkmark in a circle beside the name of a candidate one wishes to vote for, and then counting such votes manually? It's a system that works very well in countries like Ireland, Scotland, Great Britain, Canada, France, Switzerland, most of Germany, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Austria, Spain, most of Norway, Italy, and Greece, to name a few.
Anyone who uses the term "flip-flop" loses all creditiblity with me. People are natually indecisive. Indeed, people often do change their opinions when presented with further information. If anything, that's good. That's a sign of not being a complete zealot. So accusing someone of "flip-flopping" as if it is a bad thing is moronic, at best.
It saddens me to see such an immature, mindless term used so extensively by the American big media and now by other writers.
This activity as of late harkens back to the DEC and SGI days. SGI took a similar route to Apple, ditching their high-performance IRIX and MIPS workstation platform in favor of a lower-powered, but Windows NT-based x86 workstation. In the end, SGI did end up returning to their IRIX/MIPS roots, but it was not enough. They had dischanted enough of their userbase that they never fully recovered. Their switch to the terribly performing Itanium platform has basically sealed their fate as a minor player in the workstation market.
If MD5 is found to be insecure, what are the alternatives we can use when signing our open-source packages? Is there any other alternative that is even approaching the widespread use of md5sum?
No, they really don't. They're struggling in Iraq. And they even had the support of most Iraqis initially. The US is in no position to invade Indonesia, especially over some pirated software.
This situation seems very similar to that of the news media, namely due to the sources of funding.
A scientists or news media group who must obtain their funding via commercial means will never have reliable information as their first goal.
Their first goal will always be to obtain further funding. In the scientific world this leads to falsified results and very unscientific behavior. Similarly, in the American corporate news world, the focus is not so much on presenting the truth, but rather it is on maintaining advertisers (by not publishing articles that may "offend" such advertisers), increasing reader-/viewership by appealing to fundamentalist views, and other non-integrity related issues.
On the other hand, when money is not a problem, the reporting is often far better. We can see examples of this in the state-funded news broadcasters such as the CBC and BBC. The reporting and journalistic integrity of such broadcasters is extremely high, as they do not need to grovel for financial support. When it comes to scientists, those who need do not need to fight tooth and nail for funding will far more often be able to produce high-quality results. That is just the nature of the game.
No offense taken. But indeed, my point still stands. One must have experienced the events in question to truly understand their nature. That said, you now are better off for knowing the what happened during the 1970s. I do commend your inquisitive, scientific nature.
What about scientists in South America, Europe, Asia, Canada, Africa, Australia, and other non-American regions? Do they follow a similar trend of data manipulation, forgery and misbehavior? If so, then perhaps this just isn't a problem with American scientists, but scientists in general. That would lead me to believe that it is more just a problem with human nature: the inability to accept that one's beliefs may be incorrect.

Is this a.NET program, or a typical MFC program? I'm asking because there was speculation earlier that Microsoft was not making much use of.NET in the upcoming Longhorn release of Windows. Did they purchase this program because it is a.NET program, and will allow them to begin replacing their existing, outdated MFC/Win32 API-based programs with.NET programs?

I thought it was very unprofessional when David Adams, the publisher of OSNews.com, posted a fake resignation here at Slashdot.

That's very interesting! It seems that C++ and the MFC still reign supreme at Microsoft, even as they suggest that everybody else use .NET instead.
I just want to make it clear that this has nothing to do with monads in Haskell and other functional programming languages.

Indeed, it is good for massive SMP machines acting as servers. But it is unsuitable for a high-performance workstation, unfortunately.
