When I went from 4 -> 5 I ran the yum update the night before to make sure everything was up-to date (nice but not 100% nescesary) then installed 1 RPM & ran yum upgrade. Worked like a charm at work - was ugly at home following a brownout halfway through the upgrade.
For fresh installs, I suppose you could build a network installer CD based on yum. Not sure if I would want to download & install everything over the net though....
live CD... check
mount/dev/hda/mnt
mkdir... check
chroot... check
cat package_list.txt | yum install... check
Yeah you should be able to do it with a bit of prep work to get the list of all the packages you need to build the system.
[Blink][Blink] Hmm, which exact issue are you discussing. The Ms. Plame incident? There were no bad guys to be caught. There was a vice presidental aid telling reporters confidential information - an act that gets a normal person's clearances cancelled, with a strong possibility of a long vacation in a secure location. The reporter did what a reporter does, gather information, verify information, and put together a story. They didn't run out & scream she's a CIA agent - they got other confirmations, they correlated the information with other known facts - including the timing of her husbands story etc.
So no, I am not saying that a reporter can say anything they want. I am saying it is their responsibility to report information to the public. Personally, I think the bigger story was who in the Whitehouse was divulging classified intel, but hey I like seeing politicians twist in the wind. But given the choice between reporters being able to report verified information vs only what won't hurt anyone, well I'm not forking over my $0.50 for want adds & the comics.
If he's nto required to say anything even when being investigated
Please note - the reporter's not being investigated in these situations. The times reporters who were jailed were not under any sort of investigation. The investigation was about discovering the source of the information, not the reporter reporting it.
I suppose you would also like the right to run red lights when you need to get someplace in a hurry - just like the ambulance operators/cops. A large number (33 from the article) of states recognize that developing & utilizing sources is a critical part of serious journalism and extend to them the right to conceal the name of a source - a 5th ammendment by proxy. When I was working as an industrial chemist, I got to order goodies that the average citizen can't get. Doctors get to do the same thing. Most specialized jobs have grants of rights/privledges that don't apply to the average citizen.
Actually if you read the artical, there is also the case of the CA blogger who was arrested despite the CA shield law.
The case involved a riot outside an international summit, and a police car was damaged. The CA DA asked for the unedited video tape the blogger made in the vicinity, was told no, and was unable to proceed due to the CA shield law. The Federal govt then proceded to demand the tape under the argument that "having given the city a grant for public safety, they had partial ownership in the vehicle." From the resolution, the federal judge didn't buy it when it got to his docket.
Also:
I can say "Fuck Bush" all I want. I don't even have to substitute a letter like you did, to make it seem like I can't (self-censorship). That won't get me arrested.
I direct you to: here and here for people who were ticketed and harassed for bumper stickers.
I also direct you to here for a person who was detained for several hours by sherrifs deputies for writing "Kip Hawley is an Idiot" on the clear toiletries bag inside his suitcase.
So, while you can say "fuck Bush" all you want here on slashdot, I wouldn't recommend you try exerting that particular right standing in front of the Whitehouse - unless you have a few days of extra vacation you want to spend as a guest of DC's finest.
In order ty buy something, the system calls out to the central processing offices, which contact the banks & verify the availible credit. So no, a CC generator won't help to buy anything. But if the system is looking for a CC# just to 'verify' age, then there are routines available to verify if the CC is a valid number - without verifying that it is a valid account.
I recommend a fast google search on variations of "credit card generator".
It would take someone about 15 minutes tops to generate a CC# to use on one of these sites. Unless they are going to require every adult related sited to take credit cards, they are only going to hit the CC validation routines, not test if they are valid accounts. Oh, and is the US government going to give out a free credit card with every bankruptcy now also?
By the way, if I'm a US citizen, running a company based in Switzerland, hosting a site through a UK company, with servers based in Canada - does this law apply? How about if the domain is registered through a US company, but me, the company, the host, and the servers are all based outside the US?
Yes, the original for that passage was in Hebrew. The origin for the NT is primarily Greek & Latin. In no case, is the KJ version considered to be a linguisticly accurate translation.
Actually the code has no DRM in it. The Tivo box itself has an embeded system that - in a very untechnical description - verifies that the checksum you provide matches the checksum it arrives at internally. Because the provided checksum is encrypted by TIVO's private key, and the box has TIVO's public key to decrypt it - and not yours, you can't install a new version.
As for knowing, [shrug] I think you'll find that people still know how to use a decompiler. I also guess I would have to trust that RMS knows what he is talking about & he says that TIVO has fulfilled all the requirements of GPLv2. Since he's mad enough about it to change the GPL, I guess he's satisfied the conditions are met.
It depends on where you look, the original is in Hebrew (being part of the old testiment), a vast number of the translations used later were in Greek, Latin, and in some instances Aramaic.
I'm not a bible scholar, but I do know a few, and all agree that KJ is not an accurate translation - reguardless of whether the original language was Latin, Greek, or Hebrew.
Linus does not care about free software. He never had, he never will. He doesn't understand or he does not accept the idea of free code. He has this idea that he is "pragmatic" (whatever that means) but that basically means code works.
I think if you actually read what he writes, you'll find that the only thing he cares about is that the sourcecode be 'free' as in speech. That's why TIVO doesn't bother him. It's a hardware issue. The sourcecode is 'free'.
There was a discussion on Groklaw a few weeks back & for him, the whole issue is tit-for-tat - we give companies code, they give us back the changes, what they do with that code is their issue. As long as the code changes come back, the community has been improved & the process continues. It doesn't matter if the company ships that code in a ROM based brick, an open flash system, or a Locked down flash box - if the code is available, you can make one yourself & impliment any changes you want.
Only because your bible is a variant on the King James, which was commissioned as a wedding present & the translation was supposed to be beautiful rather than accurate - it's why "thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" rather than a "poisoner" or "brewer or poisons" which is a more accurate translation from the Greek.
My company switched to asterisk about 9 months ago. It covers our IVR & PBX needs, but it's got a glitch somewhere that refuses to drop channels. Depending on call volume/luck, we can only go from 4 hours to a week between having to restart because it's claiming all the channels are in use.
Other than that, we haven't had any problems not related to in house stupidity.
I am running FC5 and it has a/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins that works just fine. When I change to FF2.0 I might have to use a different directory, but you expect that since it takes different plugins.
LOL, so far my limited testing has been the 'click here to test install' link from the install page and the followup overview of flash twice. The video portion has worked flawlessly on all 3. The audio however hung the first time I played the overview & I got an endless loop of 'mobile de'.
So, my overall impression is "I hope the final is better."
The biggest problems the cigarette companies have had is that they falsified research, lied under oath, engaged in blackmail, and engaged in a truely massive coverup. Without all of that, they would have had a crapload less liability for the issues. When you say "I never said that" and then get handed a 2" stack of memos where you said it, you loose credibility. When you say "It's perfectly safe" for 20 years, while all of your research says it'll kill you - you loose millions/billions
more than the world having to be full of magical bondage fairies
Hey, don't diss the Bondage Fairies. We could do worse.
Exibit A: Obviously fake photos of Jack Thompson at a nudist colony
Me: I rest my case your honor, he's a public menace that needs to be locked up for the good of society.
Judge: My eyes, my eyes, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
What actually bothered me was that an uncontested case went to a jury. There could be no uncontested facts due to the presence of only 1 litigant. That should make it a matter of law & decided just by the judge.
That said, I would have to think that $11M is pretty high for a referal agent - unless the comments could be proven to have actually influenced her business to a $M++ degree- when the reputation of A list stars is settled for less than $1M.
LOL, sorry, took me a few minutes to stop laughing at that.
You will never deter 100% of murders through the death penalty. To think that you can crosses from nieve to insane. Check your statistics, there is a temporary decrease in the number of murders following the implimentation of the death penalty in a state - followed by a continuation of the general upward trend. The murder rate for the US is now higher than it was before the death penalty was reinstated. So, no, the death penalty does not significantly deter murderers.
Jury nullification can be used in any state in the US. Alls you have to do is convince 12 people that the person who's dead was such a cretin that the world is better off without him - to such a degree that they are willing to ignore the law. Rare, but doable.
If they had defended themselves in a US court that would have legitamized the US jurismydicktion of the matter, thus opening Steve and Spamhaus to challenges from ANY court in the WORLD.
Per my understanding, they hired a US company to defend themselves - who properly indicated that the Il. court had no jurisdiction & moved it to federal court. At which point their UK legal team told them the US had No jurisdiction at all & to ignore it - which they did.
The problem isn't that they persued the wrong legal strategy, it's that they persued both of them. Either strategy would have worked. But by changing mid-stride, they screwed themselved.

I could have used that notice when I did customer service.
Ment to ask, do you have any specifics on how the problem was resolved?
Interesting, because we have a Rhino channel bank ....
I'll pass that on to the guy in charge of it.
yeah, we have 2 telephone T1s coming into a channel bank & then it gets routed out to the Asterisk server.
My company switched to asterisk about 9 months ago. It covers our IVR & PBX needs, but it's got a glitch somewhere that refuses to drop channels. Depending on call volume/luck, we can only go from 4 hours to a week between having to restart because it's claiming all the channels are in use.
