I'm not about to even TRY to defend that circumcision bloke. That prick deserves whatever he gets.
Now I want you all to think about dwarf-ish people. The 40 something year old people who look like kids. Got that image in your head? Right, now pretend you're in front of a court facing child porn charges, and have a moment to think about how old Bart Simpson "actually" is (hint, the show has been running for over 20 years). The powerpuff girls are a bit younger than that, but if you combine their actual age with the postulated age on the show... so is sleeping with someone who just happens to look *that young* now a crime?
And now I can't believe I just actually wrote that.
As the admin I was connecting to the firewall itself to create the tunnel. Half my users weren't on XP so group policies are/were generally out of the question, and it's kind of necessary to be able to connect to the fw via ssh from inside the network. The only point of use is the outbound blocking of ip/domain, but that would mean maintaining an active list inside the firewall rather than just slotting them in via the "block this site" button on the proxy when I catch someone overusing themselves.
I used to do this and then when I needed to it was a case of
ssh -ND 8080 user@firewall
And the foxyproxy plugin to firefox. This way when someone else is logged in to your machine (which shouldn't happen but just in case) or when a manager is around, your policy is applied to you too.
Hello Lucifer? Yes, it is me. No, I haven't finished the recruitment yet. Oh right, why I was calling, was just wondering if you wanted me to pick you up some mittens before I got back to the pit? No? Alright then.
Sorry sbeckstead, looks like you're going to have to wait a while.
As he should. I don't agree with the man on most of his points, but I can appreciate someone getting up and metaphorically saying "Are you fucking serious?!" to the rest of the parasites he has to work with.
A government should be doing what is best for the country, not what is seen to be most politically correct - at least Nick is working on getting that to happen.
Very very much the same. Of course, I can't customize the server on the box that's set up for me as easily as I can customize my own DNS server - but the results are about the same.
Rubbish. Customisation aside, the open relay on the router is accessible on the outside, whereas one you set up on the inside has to have the ports forwarded through the NAT device on your average home LAN.
More like "how is that not bullshit". I know we all spend time playing spot-the-fed, but does one really believe that they are that dumb? Even if the document is accurate, once it's on the Net it's about as easy to remove as crazy glue on the ass of a rhino - attempting to take it down not only confirms it, it leads more people to try it. As it is it's just filed as onemorepossibility in the "what if" files.
It's not. Rocket science is pretty well established for what we can and can't do at the moment. Until we make a breath-through like gravitonics or FTL, then it will be a fairly static incremental-based field (small increments, slightly faster, slightly smaller, slightly longer range, etc.). The efficiency of the killing weapon comes down to payload, accuracy and target analysis. Like you said, setting that sort of stuff up is not difficult. With a fast enough, small enough (again with the incremental) processor, you could even analyse images taken from a miniature camera and determine whether the weapon was hitting the correct vehicle or building relative to its size, dimensions and GPS location - or explode harmlessly underwater/mountain/etc. if necessary.
Not rocket science, basic weapon science with some electronics thrown in.
Besides... if you have a radio link then why not just give them bluetooth headsets and let them talk to each other?
Probably for the same reason the various military organisations have hand signals to indicate certain things. And to be entirely fair, sometimes I just want to say things to my wife when we are surrounded by people that I can't... because we are surrounded by people.
Actually, though it doesn't reduce the set much, there is a bias: If you are a paranoid admin, I know not to bother trying dictionary words or other basic stuff. Sure there are still tonnes of combinations, but there are a few less.
1998 VT SS Commodore Series 1. Accurate to within 1km. 1990 Ford Laser GL. Accurate to within 2km. 2006 Ford Falcon. Spot on.
That's just naming three. The GPS' in those are two different TomTom's, and a Navman. YMMV, but the only time I've ever had a speedo appear out is when we put larger tyres on one of our vehicles because we were using it off the tar.
Can't we just get rid of the other 10% of the population?
An interesting observation of my own about human behaviour has come to mind - if your average law abiding citizen (think they) can get away with it, they will break "soft" laws. Soft here meaning "I'm not harming anyone or stealing" laws, which is a rather common excuse for torrents ("I'll buy it later... if it's good") and speeding. Regardless of what we do about these things (speed cameras or taking down the pirate bay), normal, every day, generally law abiding people, will continue to break these "soft" laws.
What that says about human nature, I don't know, it just seemed appropriate to the thread.
Ok, Policy COMPANY-201: "Standard Installation of Small Business Server for New Clients"
Sure, I could hack together a Linux box, or I could get them all to use OS X, or I could just make someone click through the initial SBS setup and join their clients to the domain - it's easier than making OS X do what it has to do, albeit I will push the OS X in first time every time.
I have a DeployStudio installation that supports 1132 laptops, iMac's and G5's, with only one IT member (who, to be fair, outsources any really difficult questions to me). Maintaining that is easy as hell - if a user complains too much about a problem, he tells them to netboot - they can choose which building they are etc. or he will VNC for them. Either way, 1 person scales well with DeployStudio - me, I'm an Apple Certified Systems Administrator, with a strong focus on Deployment, and I will push DeployStudio every time.
Two ships go up, one ship comes down. It shouldn't be hard to leave at least a little bit of equipment up there.
On the topic of leaving them up their with their robotic arms, I would like to see some sort of small, orbital building yard - for now it doesn't have to do much, but even some sort of recycling processor to deal with random bits of junk that float past would be interesting, and pave the way for a whole new set of interesting technology.
I have a solar calculator that works just fine under lights at night (with the dead battery removed). Why couldn't something this small draw enough power from overhead fluro's?

Nobody attacks Firefox 2.x anymore, so it must be secure!!!1!!

By that token we have funny-strange and funny-hilarious. Since when did anyone on slashdot fail to be ambiguous?!

Redundant point - if he had cookies on he's either got his own computer/account or his old man doesn't have a facebook profile.
How is that legal?

At least this sounds plausible.
but it's not exactly rocket sc..
It's not. Rocket science is pretty well established for what we can and can't do at the moment.

So it's never actually going to be skynet - it's going to be... pr0net? Attacking us all with fetish porn and...

Where did all that water come from originally if we were "seeded" by meteors and such?

Name some specific policy
