Maybe whoever set up the "fake" RNS was trying to hide and appear to be safe until some time when it could collaborate some DDOS. We won't know since they aren't up and running, but having such a highly used server would have been beneficial for whatever the purpose was in the first place, to everyone if it were a positive one or to them if it were negative. But what do I know, I'm purely speculating.
Coming from a friend of mine at AOL, Yahoo is courting AOL to give both of them a better shot at competing with MS. The last thing that Yahoo or AOL want it to give MS more shares in online advertising. So I'd venture to guess that by the end of the year we'll see an AOL/Yahoo merger.
Oh, wait. You said P2/P3s. Oh well, you could have had a real nice heater if they were P4s. I'd say either try to recycle them (at a cost to you), donate them (at a small or no cost to you), use them to run some sort of distributed computing program (some sort of @home thing), for the ones that do run. Or just pull an office space and take out some aggression on them. Good luck.
I was being hyperbolic, but I'd still wager that only 5% of politicians get fired when 50% of people with real jobs would get fired for the same type of mistakes.
Maybe someone knows this better than I do, but it mentions still using emulation to get the OS to work. I've wanted to test out OSX just to see what it's like, but never really wanted to bother with the emulation. It is interesting to note about the benchmarks b/w Mac hardware and PC hardware running OSX, with the exception of AMD which was always underperforming both Intel and Mac, due to the hardware incompatibilities. Plus from browsing through that article there is a ton of work you need to do to get it to work with your hardware, especially for an AMD/Nvidia computer. I don't want to try it out that bad.
Well shit, if that were a crime here about half the population, myself included, would be guilty. We're gonna fail! (Whatever you are thinking, just assume I mean that.)
You must be more advanced than the rest of the human race, because as far as I know, 100% of the population can't see x-rays, hydrogen-alpha radiation, or microwaves. Ooooorrr at magnification from satellites that could set you on fire in under 0.25 seconds.
The good thing with google sky is that it runs in both their webpage and through google earth. The only difference I think is they use different projection, Mercator or something like that, on the web based version.
It still encourages a good rolling release of new packages rather than letting things stagnate. Not saying newer is always better, but things will be fixed within a few weeks and regular package releases to solve any bugs, as well as support for newer technology. This is coming from someone partial to fedora, since I've used it since core 4, and I've never really had an issue with anything, with the exception of getting my wireless card on my laptop to work, but everyone knows what a bitch that is to solve. Desktop, however, has never had an issue. In the other corner we have XP which I will refuse to update with SP3. SP2 forced me to do a fresh install, so I won't bother with it until I really need to.
installed fedora 8 a few weeks ago. guess i'll have to recompile my kernel if it's a new one, not sure since I haven't checked if it is 2.6.24 or not. i guess it's a good thing i'll most likely forget to do it for another month and wait for some new packages to appear.
I'd be interested to find out what clandestine DPI is going on in the states, since apparently both the UK and Canada have problems with ISP snooping. I know the govt does a little bit on its own, but what about our ethernet overlords.
I won't use any contactless methods of payment. I know there are ways to capture info from a swiped card, but it's at least harder to get away with that just sniffing for RFIDs in the area. I'd rather not have my financial info available no matter where I go, as opposed to it being available when I use my magnetic strip once per payment. It's selling point is ease and quickness of use, but I've never heard anything about security. And yes, I abhor the idea of RFIDs in passports too. I'll cover it in tin foil, along with my head.
0.15 dollars. I'll assume that link is from the conversation b/w a customer quoted 0.05 cents per mb or whatever and verizon, who can't do math. very amusing indeed.
Everyone knows cellular companies markup text services so high it's ridiculous. I think it's in the range of 4000x higher than data transfer rates. You pay 0.10 for 140bytes for texts, or about 0.15 for 1024bytes in any data transfer service. This just makes it a stellar ripoff. When will it ever change?
Everything I've read about both Davenport Lyons and Zuxxez makes them look pretty shady since they are using MAFIAA tactics to extort money from people, many of whom are innocent but their guilty until proven innocent outlook doesn't help. They went after 500 people last year for that stupid pinball game, and even went so far as to ask people for details/documentation about their computers and routers, all outside of court mind you, so it's another story of IP renegades run amuck.

One from last year here about George Maschke critiquing a polygraph test that was admitted as court evidence without the agreement of both parties.

Why don't you have a seat over there and you'll find out.
My plan finally worked. One long year of waiting has paid off. It's just nonsense I made up to get some people to try and crack it.
Cheers.
One more time. Fileshack and filebox. That's what the preview button is for.
Since 4.4Mb is obviously going to get slashdotted. I've got a copy at fileshack and at filebox. Reduced to 47Kb of course.

Why did some asshat call in to the NASA teleconference and ask about moon crickets, and when the hell did that become a racial slur?

I had no idea I was more than one person.

Now how am I supposed to get from my house to Shanghai? I need those directions dammit.
Hey, I lost the other one in a freak RFID accident you insensitive clod!
