Also what is it with these Peta campaigns? If I wear fur, they will keep showing naked ladies? Sounds counterproductive to me.
You forgot the oblig linky. Disclaimer: Don't think there's anything X-rated, but it's definitely NSFW. Both genders on display, so there's something for everyone. Extra disclaimer: Yes, I linked to PETA. Read at your own risk, beware of brainwashing, etc.
I'd mod you up, but I have a question. Are you running Steam from that flash drive too? Or do you have a way to get Steam to load data from directories outside the one it is installed in?
I haven't noticed this so much for TF2, but for DOD:S it can be a real nuisance. I like to play on servers with around 8-14 players, so that it doesn't feel too crowded. Unfortunately you get some servers advertising 9/22 players, but when you connect there's only 4 people on. If you're lucky. It's very aggravating.
However, I have a low-tech solution to servers that do this - don't play on them. At all. The Steamfriends.com EU server pulled this a while ago. I don't know if they still do it or not, since I never connect any more.
At the end of the day, servers that run options that players like (eg sane class limits, experience mods etc) will get played on; and those that don't, won't.
Also, the wave thing was him trying to demonstrate he couldn't turn the tide back, which he did because he was tired of sycophantic embellishments of his abilities.
I'm with Be as well and I found out thanks to this article that they are one of the ones filtering / censoring. They will lose me as a customer as well. It's a damn shame as they are pretty good otherwise.
I'll be looking for an ISP that has both IPv6 support and doesn't filter. I have a feeling my money will be going to a small ISP, and I'm happy with that. SixXS has a page with 5 ISPs that support IPv6, and I'm going to find out if they offer connectivity in my area.
Please post again here if you find a decent alternative.
Good job not bringing up age. Might I suggest, "IT is a field that requires constant learning to remain effective. My next applicant after you is straight out of a top 5 university CS program. What do you know that he doesn't?"
(emphasis mine)
I would argue that pretty much every professional field requires constant learning if you want to progress. IT, engineering, law, medicine, accountancy... plumbing, construction, etc. Yeah, you might get away with not improving, but you'll find it much easier and your prospects much better if you are familiar with the ins and outs of your field.
And you'll be respected as "the guy who knows everything". That's always nice:)
It's not quite what you outlined, but at least other people have the same idea. A comment there mentions cofundos (http://cofundos.org/), which looks like Kiva for Open Source.
If you put what you wrote here as an Idea on brainstorm it might (or might not) get implemented, but at least it will be discussed. As sibling poster said, we need more people like you in FOSS communities.
The geek in me hopes that it will be resolved quickly and the movie will hit theaters on time.
I have many doubts that the film can live up to the graphic novel. As a friend of mine put it: The detail and attention devoted to even a single panel in the novel just can't be captured in film. I'm not as big a fan as he is, but I tend to agree (even though the statement is a bit hyperbolic). Watchmen is a dark, well captured story, and I can only see the film being very... well, Hollywood. Oh, it'll no doubt be 'dark', but it'll be a safe, well-defined dark. I really hope I'm wrong.
Note that whatever my feelings are, I don't agree with Fox's tactics - if you want to stop it, do it at the start. Don't let them make a film for megabucks, then say "Uhh, we think we might still have a copyright on that or something.". That's just bad form.
The signed tag is appearing on most (if not all) recent articles. It also appears on the WoW gold limit story, where it was a legitimate use.
Can anyone shed some light on what this is? Are the editors now signing articles with their private keys to ensure they are(n't) dupes? Did the article id suddenly overflow like the comment one did a while ago?
The mobile phones you carry have - by law - every single phone-call and text recorded for the government: this same law covers email and the data is available not just to MI5 & MI6, not even just to the police - but "social workers" and "local government workers" have access to it.
Glider does not 'manipulate a secure line of communication', it manipulates a client. Huge difference there. Now, I'm not going to pass judgment on the morality of what it does, but it stretches the bounds of credibility and cheapens the image of network security / InfoSec people to call it "hacking a [shared] network".

reminds me of the joke "Seal walks into a club."

Because that type of story is all that is posted on Slashdot about the UK these days.
HTH
One word: Sue.
As if she hasn't gone through enough trauma, now you give out her name?!
Yeah, well life ain't easy for a girl named Sue.
Wait what?
Dey tuk our jerbs!
Oh no! Even Coach Z is out of a job! :(

And, you know, posting in the right discussion.
How did the man die, anyway?
Above, and on ZDNet say he died due to a digestive tract virus that lead to a high fever and other complications.
RIP

Hmmm... Aha!

I'd mod you informative, but I'd rather reply.

think the closest analogy to horse meat is ostrich meat
Thanks! I'm glad you cleared that up for everyone.
Have a look at cofundos. While it may not suit the OP, those who are in a similar situation may find it useful.
This is a great idea. If honest, principled people like yourself had an easy way to get money distributed to FOSS projects it could be a real boon.
Searching Ubuntu's brainstorm gives this: #10747 - Donation for "free software"

None, because as we all know Librarians are HOT!
Ook!
"It's all anecdotal, partisan, and un-researched crap."
That statement also describes the CBS Evening News...
And the rest of them, no?

You can throw in all the free cats and laxative kitty treats you want, I'm not buying.

He's infringing copyri... oh, I see.
Very well, carry on.
The mobile phones you carry have - by law - every single phone-call and text recorded for the government: this same law covers email and the data is available not just to MI5 & MI6, not even just to the police - but "social workers" and "local government workers" have access to it.
Which law is that? I'd like to look it up.
"Insightful" ? Come on mods.
