Ps: Thanks CmdrTaco for unbanning my address. You should have waited, my next offer was to buy you a case of wine and change my name to scriptkiddy2.
I would prefer "Stranger in a Strange Land", "Friday" (is that the name) and "Time Enough For Love".
However, I don't go to the movies. Why should I? People are noisy, its either to loud or quiet, I can't smoke, I can't stop it, I can't go to the toilet, and, finally, my arse goes to sleep.
Either you mean local as "in the network" and remote as "outside the network" or I'm missing something. This is entirely possible but, I would like to know what it is.
Hate to say this mate. But all the paper trail, open source, accountable, triple times goodness isn't gonna help them a bit if all they have to choose between is someone backed by a some corporations vs someone else backed by some other (maybe the same) corporations.
What ever happened to the political protester comes to power. Haven't any of their presidents spent their youth being locked up fighting the government, staging marches, standing up for whats right? Well, on the bright side maybe the yanks will listen to us next time we say the guy that are voting for is an idiot.
(By the way, thanks for protecting New Zealand. You're pretty much our only hope since the government down here decided to decimate the defense force. Lots of love, try not to burn your country down by throwing a ciggi out the window or something...)
Besides, I may have only used Student edition 2003 but Outlook sucked. It either didn't open, opened slowly, or locked up.....thats not much of a choice. Open Office is great, opens a little slow but opens, reads Microsoft formats passably well and can write to them. I haven't tried Office XP on a.odt document yet, but I'll bet it doesn't open it.
Another complaint about Office XP is that having stayed up all weekend (check sig) doing an assignment, I get to uni, go to print it, and fuck me if the pictures are gone and the formatting is out. Its supposed to be a standard format (.doc), how the hell am I meant to keep a track of who's got 2000, 2002 or XP? Now, before an assignment hand in, I have to get the tutor, find what version he or she has, can I embed Visio pictures, what year Visio, what year Office, etc, etc, etc....
Can we not just have a standard standard that doesn't change from year to year. If I have to save the document into older versions then why not just have the old version?
Now I'm on Open Office and KOffice. I would prefer KOffice as the interface is a bit cleaner but it doesn't deal with Microsoft documents to well. Everything gets thrown into.odt for my own use anyway and if someone wants to read my notes they can bloody well download Open Office, or I'll give them a copy.
In the end the difference is, I'm not making money on other people being able to read what I write so I can be as pedantic as hell.
As for email, Kontact is the go, never a problem with it yet (six months and counting).
Beside that, why bother. Computers aren't all that useful on their own, its the communication aspect that matters and that happens over the internet. The NSA would be far better off having a backdoor in the internet routers.
Why you should worry about cycles. This is quoted from the Ocean and Climate Change Institutes' article on "The Day After Tomorrow".
"It is worth keeping in mind that an "abrupt" climate change, which may take place over a decade, is abrupt from a geologic perspective, in which many phenomena take place on the time scales of hundreds of thousands to millions of years."
To put it mildly, if you looked up and saw a car might hit you at 1MPH then you might be a little worried but not really all that concerned. If instead you looked up and found a car might hit you at 100MPH then you would shit yourself. Yes, we don't have the data, capability or knowledge to model climate actions and consequences accurately. This is because in most cases we don't know what the hell we are doing. We do have survival instincts however, and one of these should currently be telling you that its all well and fine to stand on the road, but it might be safer to walk on the grass. Cycles are a reality and love them all you want but being carefull the other side of the cycle doesn't have a big "End of life as you want it" sign is a damn good idea.
On the other side of things, a good two or three meter rise would put one of my homes in a really nice position (taking erosion into account). The downside is that it would be the only home I had left.
"Last year one of them refused to hand my drivers license back and I had to go to collect it from the police station after a few questions, turns out another guy with a name similar to mine had bought a few packets recently from that same chemist.'
With a name like Freaky Spook, what do you expect?
Be interesting to have a neutral system for legislation titles. Much harder to sell "w95278" than "The Patriot Act". As an added bonus, if you woke up in congress and they were voting on the "w95278" then you would probably vote against it just because you didn't know what it was (I assume U.S.A. is like N.Z. and the politicians at the back feel free to catch up on their sleep).
Yes, I can see it now.
"Students! Assignment one has two parts, a and b. Part a is to figure out what university you are going to, part b is to scan ip address 127.0.0.1, find a security flaw and either format the drive, infect it with virus's, or destroy the operating system completely".

I believe you mean the Analogue Creation of Universe Copyright Act. But then, IANAP (I am not a priest).
It is interesting logic isn't it.

Two points. You demonize those you want fired on. Didn't your politicians take an oath as well?
"We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.

NC17, lol, sounds like something out of Star Trek. I wonder whether "Time Enough For Love" would be banned completely because of incest.
Actually, SUSE makes me think, "How do you say it?".
However, I don't go to the movies. Why should I? People are noisy, its either to loud or quiet, I can't smoke, I can't stop it, I can't go to the toilet, and, finally, my arse goes to sleep.
Err....open sauce porn?
"No remote or local root logins."
Either you mean local as "in the network" and remote as "outside the network" or I'm missing something. This is entirely possible but, I would like to know what it is.
Or that its somehow tacked onto a bottle of wine.

If it's so highly classified, whats it doing on /.?
Just use the Mac address and encrypt it. Its easier, and the amount of people who can/will hack it is small.
