Check your history before making off-hand statements:
The band signed a six-album recording contract with EMI in late 1991, following a chance meeting between Colin Greenwood and label representative Keith Wozencroft at the record shop where Greenwood worked. [1]
Off the top of my head, the six albums were:
Pablo Honey
The Bends
OK Computer
Kid A
Amnesiac
Hail to the Thief
The band have no record contract, having fulfilled it in 2004.
Interesting response, it will hopefully be modded informative. Things like mknod to create raw disk access or modifying kernel memory space do require root access. However, I think it's worth pointing out that there are methods that don't, such as following hardlinks (which continue to point outside the jail, unlike symlinks).
Sure, it requires some tardy system administration to have hardlinks like this in place, but it's not possible for the most moronic of admins to make this mistake with virtual machines, as an example.
Poor Newton, first having Einstein pick at his theories, then being outquoted by him.
I think GP will keep going for as long as (s)he gets replies. Then again, those who have espoused such ultra-conservative views are bound for -1 Troll, regardless, methinks.
That would be correct my work associate friend. Although that's neither here nor there. It sounds like you've used that statement to try and stamp out opposition to your views rather than raising valid points. Yep, _definitely_ new here.
Sorry, when I used the word 'suspicious neighbourhood', I was reffering to neighbourhoods, which have a higher crime rate/where regular soliciting goes on, crime 'hotspots'. So if I understand your argument correctly, if one is in a place that has a 'higher crime rate,' or 'regular soliciting goes on,' you feel that alone is due cause for one to be interfered with by the police?
Tomorrow: If you congregate with suspicious people, you can expect to get zapped with the pain ray.
I agree with your statement as stated above. If one associates with criminals (or 'suspicious people' in your terms), you should expect to run into trouble with the law, and if one steps out of line (defies authourity), then one can expect consequences. This is where it becomes very evident that you are simply a troll. 'Suspicious people' is a subjective term, and I assure you that because one looks suspicious, one is not necessarily a criminal. Even if one associates with known criminals, unless there is some evidence to indicate that one is in any way involved with criminal activities, association alone is unlikely to be reasonable grounds for harassment.
I am aware of corrupt or unfair/unjust cops, but that shouldn't mean we need to through them all in the one basket. You must be new here.
I work in IT Support in Australia. Most of my clients (some in the outback) are stubborn and technically inept. They have a real "fuck it" attitude.
If Linux on the desktop is going to fail anywhere, it's going to fail in the Australian outback. Considering this, perhaps it's a good place for HP to start.
Instead of calling me a troll, why not answer on-topic instead of just providing some link with PR blahblah?
You are evidently not familiar with Gentoo in the slightest, and as such thought I may aid in the abation of your misconceptions by pointing you at a nice starting point.
Using Gentoo will not give you a deeper understanding of a linux system than using Debian or SuSE, or most of the other 100 linux distros available.
Really? That's an interesting generalisation. I primarily used BSD (mostly Free- and Net-) prior to Gentoo. I have installed and used Debian, SuSE, Slackware, RH/Fedora/CentOS, even Ubuntu. It's odd, then, that -- contrary to your generalisation -- I have gained a 'deeper understanding' from a few years with Gentoo.
I rarely watch compiles, except with new systems on unfamiliar architectures. Gentoo's package management requires less interaction that the other Linux distributions I have used, and borks much less often.
It might even give you less of an understanding, since more time is wasted on recompiling stuff than actually doing some work and getting hands-on experience in system administration.
That's like saying "I can install a Nagios virual machine in VMWare, it requires no compiling or setting up, I can do real hands-on system administration; thus, I know more about Linux! QED"
I'd seriously consider researching -- or perhaps even using -- Gentoo prior to generalising (this has already been done by uncyclopedia.org in a manner that was actually funny). Until then, I will continue to call troll.
Sorry to be a little off topic (and sorry to remove your +1 by posting), but I was speechless whilst reading about Starbucks' ability to send workers home if they are wearing a union pin. I did a little more research and I will be hesitant to complain about my country's current union system.
When I was younger, in university, I worked for a subsiduary of (then) Coles Myer: Australia's largest department store/supermarket overlord. I was a member of a union, fucked up a few times, and they came to bat for me. Even got me a pay rise a few times. I was approached *by a manager* -- on the day I started -- to join said union.
In 2005, our Liberal Party (read: conservative) government implemented WorkChoices, a system of workplace agreements with which the unions were unhappy. Over half a million people protested.
We don't take kindly to breaches of our rights. And we don't even have a Bill of Rights! I am thankful every day not to be a citizen of the United States of America.
"[T]he open-source world progresses with giant steps. It is a world where the sun never sets and where national borders, race and religion have no meaning. What counts is the code. And that comes abundantly, and in high quality." (attributed to Moshe Bar on his site)
Apparently the code doesn't count, only spurious logic about changing hardware factors. Oh, and apparently the sun does, in fact, set.
I used to build some reasonably big servers. Of course, some of these would be used for what would be considered sensitive information. Hard drives that had crashed were tested by our service dept., then by me, then returned to the manufacturer (occasionally overseas). Fucks me what they did with them. I always assumed they re-used good controller boards or just the ICs, but really any lowly paid technician could be stealing information.
When I worked for a hospital I had access to hundreds of machines and servers with sensitive information. There were old hard drives lying around our lab and that came in daily to be destroyed. This was taken pretty seriously, but again, lots of people had access to these drives.
There is sensitive information lying on hard drives
What this whole story comes down to, is that some kid was told to 'destroy' a drive and it ended up in his backpack.
It's scary to think of what is floating around out there, given the high number of laptop/etc thefts occuring recently. Every piece of sensitive information on my machines (tax/finances/etc), in case of theft, is encrypted with blowfish. Have a look at bcrypt .
Slashdot Mirror
Yeah, well my UID is prime.
So narr.
I find it very hard to believe that a Slashdot reader couldn't work out a simple web site.
I signed up and bought the album within a minute.
Now that I've paid for the album, I'm waiting for a 320kbps version to turn up on BitTorrent.
Use _quality_ as an excuse for not paying, but don't blame your stupidity.

This isn't news.
For those of you who weren't aware how easy it can be to break out of most chroots, here's a good description of a common process:

If we're going to have a discussion about bungled Australian military projects, let's not forget the Collins Class Submarine.

So M$ took him to court for using the name "Lindows," which was apparently too close to M$' trademark -- hence "Linspire."
...or did I miss a memo?
Perhaps the publicity from the case was a good thing? "ajaxWindows" is pretty fucking a blatant trademark violation.
You can have the "nv" and "nvidia" drivers installed simultaneously, and they play nicely if you wish to swap between them in your xorg.conf.
Don't quote me, but I think the VIDEO_CARD="nvidia" line in your make.conf will pull in nvidia-drivers. VIDEO_CARD="nvidia nv" is allowed.

Then I realised libexpat.so.* will, undoubtedly, fuck something up.

At least in Australia we are taught the difference between the words 'effect' and 'affect,' you tards.
