I wonder why I haven't ever had a rootkit on my Linux installations but I fix M$ installations all the time(Vista included) that have been rootkitted. Once a week at least.
Because Linux is so secure, of course. What else could it be?
We're not talking about restaurants and food, we're talking about software. If there is a problem with some software you use it is up to the people who wrote the software to fix it. Blaming the platform that the software runs on is stupid, and won't solve anything.
But it tells you all of Linux's great selling points; it lets you redefine your boundaries, update your limitations and reject them when you outgrow them.
This wouldn't have happened under Cameron's government.... right? The only thing that clown can find to complain about are "scandalous" e-mails and demand resignations and apologies
His kangaroo trial was conducted by Vichy Iraqis at our urging.
Besides -- if his trial didn't meet our standards, we should have condemned the result anyway. Principles don't have geographic boundaries.
Then people would be criticizing the US for putting a puppet government in place. The whole point of this damn mess (if you're very optimistic) was to free Iraq to make their own choices.
I wrote this tool so that users have to register their e-mail before entering their user/pass/profile data. This way you don't get any wasted database space, and it doesn't need any file/database storage to remember codes: "Easy e-mail verification"
I made the captcha so it doesn't need database/files to store codes, and it's dead simple and can be inserted anywhere. It stopped spam dead on two forums which were getting a constant barrage of spam, without having to add confusing tricks to the registration page.
Well how would you frame the question? Because it's the question we all want to know about while also expressing our sympathies. (Just like Jobs and Apple)
If you have stretched the window it'll still snap back to the old size when another video plays/the video repeats. Even if you were in full screen it'll scale back to windowed.
I heard that would have been fixed in this, shame that it still isn't.
Personally, I think the Queen's gift is the worst out of all those listed (in all the linked articles) anyway - it's too imperialist and overbearing... a signed photo... "Look, I have given you something cheap and readily available to remind you that you were once in my presence". Urk.
Yeah, if I gave my aunt an iPod for x-mas and she gave me a photo signed by herself in return I'd be pissed!
Clearly the same rules apply even between heads of state. The Queen should have at least got him a Toblerone, I mean what the fuck?!
You can stay anonymous and still leak all the details of whatever agency you work for.. As this article shows, leaking information is one of the best ways to fight censorship.
Do we even have a right to know who is monitoring us?
For me if the address doesn't resolve I get a "Page Load Error".. It must be a problem on your end (and I don't see what it has to do with the address bar anyway).
The police have the right to "molest" children then? She is protected by constitutional rights, but the police can break those rights all of a sudden? If they had handed her over to the police and the police had performed the search would there be no outrage here?
There'd still be outrage, because you'd still see "Strip-search" and "13 year old" and stop checking the facts
the teachers are the guardians of the children while they're in school, unfortunately. I'm not a proponent of that system; one reason that is schooling is compulsory and there is little in the way of options for good private schools or homeschooling. in this case, it wasn't known that anyone had anything, let alone "enough drugs to kill themselves." but, even if they did, they should first ASK the child if this was the case.
If someone responsible for my child has reason to suspect they had lethal drugs which they weren't supposed to have and did nothing about it I'd be far more pissed off. When you are a child's guardian and they have lethal drugs you have to do something about it, like it or not. You must be some sort of pervert to think the teachers who searched her enjoyed it, and that they couldn't be concerned for students safety.
school administrations or whatever are neither in a position to judge what exactly a kid should or shouldn't have, what exactly is or isn't a harmful "drug,"
Actually schools are given medical info on their students, have nurses on site and have legal guardianship. The police do not.
and particularly not whether to strip someone naked against their will.
Why not apply that to airlines too? If you can't search someone when you have good reason to there might as well be no rules on what you can carry around, because they'd all be impossible to implement
maybe. but no one asked the parents, did they? and even so, I'm not sure a child's REAL guardians (their parents) would be legally able to have their child consent to something like this; I would almost hope not, in fact.
You probably consider changing a baby's diaper to be rape, and approve of the man who sued millions when a dry cleaner lost his suit. America is great, but people like you are rapidly turning it to shit
Yes, because they were obviously incompetent themselves. The crime is the proof of their incompetence.
They are incompetent -> They should have gone to a competent authority (who has a "license for molestation") -> The fact that they didn't go to a competent authority is a crime -> The crime is proof that they are incompetent
Convincing. What licensing body should these teachers have applied to to become certified competent child molesters?
RTFA. They ordered her to undress.
Sounds like someone doesn't know what molestation is. Back in high school I was ordered to undress to get into swimming and rugby gear as was everyone in my school for years, since it's not for sexual reasons it isn't molestation.
I guess with precedents like this to build on I could sue my phys ed teachers now, because apparently you don't need any proof of sexual intent. If you claim it "ruined your life" that's good enough no matter what actually happened. I deserve some education department money too!
I guess I better watch out next time a child is dying and CPR would save them.. How could I prove beyond a doubt that I wasn't just capitalizing on the CPR to molest a child?
The assistant head authorized it, and two female staff carried it out. Either:
The assistant head is a pervert, but got nothing out of it.
The assistant isn't a pervert but honestly thought a search was necessary, and one or both of the female teachers happened to be a pervert (though they didn't fully undress the child)
They're all perverts, all working together in a fiendish plot, taking advantage of missing prescription drugs to see a 13 year old in underwear
I'm not sure which of these scenarios you actually believe in and are outraged by, they all seem pretty stupid to me
To summarize: Prescription drugs were missing in high school within a group of 13 year old goth girls. She was searched by two female staff. The person who requested the search didn't perform the search. She stripped down to her underwear. This drawn out 6-year case is costing your tax dollars, which would otherwise be spent on schools. Her mum and attorney are milking this for all it's worth and you are lapping it up.
Your argument was that the teachers needed to go to a "competant authority" (not sure what authority that is exactly).
My point was that the teachers are the guardians of the children while they're in school, and when it's known that a group of 13 year old friends have enough drugs to kill themselves most parents (that aren't looking for some quick cash from the public schools) would want the drugs to be found asap
If it's serious and no-one is turning up the drugs better to play it safe than deal with a suicide (or is it better? with cases like this the clear answer is no, they should have been left to do what they like with their drugs)
I don't know who could go up to the female teachers who searched her 6 years ago, without touching her or getting her to take her clothes off, and call them child molesters. I think people are judging the situation with gut reactions3

And if the internet was a bowl of salsa would your OS be a tortilla chip or a potato chip?
The internet isn't a warzone and an OS isn't a vehicle.. There are so many problems with your analogy it's not even worth trying to list the problems
We're not talking about restaurants and food, we're talking about software. If there is a problem with some software you use it is up to the people who wrote the software to fix it. Blaming the platform that the software runs on is stupid, and won't solve anything.
I don't think we're talking about family homepages here

Google the "orion project"; making spacecraft that can travel up to 0.3x the speed of light and weight tonnes, using nukes.
For $43bn though?

I love the net, but even I don't see the point of this. I can't even use the 12mbits I get, what good is 100mbit?
There is no way this is worth $43bn.. Fiber to node, as many ISPs were advocating, would be much cheaper than fiber to the door.
Well how would you frame the question? Because it's the question we all want to know about while also expressing our sympathies. (Just like Jobs and Apple)
You can do this in Australia already, and it works pretty well. The tax system is complex, but the "e-tax" application makes the best of it.
In general government needs to adopt the internet more, what a perfect way to connect government and people more closely.
Don't worry, it won't happen (let's be honest)

For me if the address doesn't resolve I get a "Page Load Error".. It must be a problem on your end (and I don't see what it has to do with the address bar anyway).
I get that.. And I remember a lot more errors in posts before the mandatory /. Preview button
is it costing tax dollars? those taxes would be better spent on private education, which may have solved this problem altogether.
Tax dollars.. private education... *Rubs temples*
maybe the police?!
