Yes! I've had a damn hard time searching for stuff with google lately because it ignores Anthony but the first three search words, so I have to order my search terms in different ways. It's almost as bad as using five search engines back in the day. While we're at it, can there be a check box to allow searching with punctuation? That's actually important to some searches.
Never compromise with the enemy, we are against everything they say! Filibuster, blockade, shut down the government! We can never even hint that the other side might have a valid point in this argument!
The more Filibustering, blockading, government shut downs, the better. Gridlock keeps the politicians from legislating everything.
People are surprised because this is a cell phone app reading data that is irrelevant to the app's function. It would be like if Google had a picture editing program that sent google a snapshot of your entire filesystem directory listings. Surprising.
You did notice I said NOT to have the private keys on the laptops themselves? The submitter wants something easy to use for a limited period of time (an event). Chances are, submitter won't even encrypt the drives, so there's not much preventing a bad apple from throwing their own passwordless ssh public key on the laptop. But once that happens, all they have access to is 30 laptops which can all be reimaged in no time, and they would be at the end of the event. Whoopie.
Doing this is as bad, if not worse, than putting a post-it note with the rude password on your desktop monitor.
Did you mean root password? Anyway, it's not like that at all. A passwordless SSH key is not like an open door. It's more like storing the root password in a vault (unless you keep your private keys on non-secure machines). I mean seriously, if you store your passphrase-enabled private keys on your desktop machine and someone owns it with a browser exploit, don't you think a keylogger is the next step? So at that point, the only reason a passphrase-enabled SSH key would be safer than a passphraseless SSH key is if it's never used. So why have it anyway? Force all logins to the machine to be via console. Remove SSH. Block all ports. No remote access of any kind.
If you worked for me
I would never work for you. You don't know the difference between a public and private key.
You forgot error recovery and logging. So PC #25 was rebooting while your script ran... does that make the script fail, perhaps silently? Does that mean all the PCs except #25 are OK, or #25-(end of list) fail? How do you know to rerun the script later? How many times do you have to run it by hand to "make sure" it ran on all machines? You can add logging and some sort of retry mechanism... Just remember that those who try not to use puppet, end up rewriting puppet, just takes a long time and painful bugs. apt-get install puppetmaster on the main and apt-get install puppet on the remotes is just too easy to bother writing a clone of puppet out of shell scripts.
The submitter wants max 30 machines, and only for a limited time. Telling him to learn how to use puppet would waste his time. If he just wants to install a piece of forgotten software after the event has started, a quick (bash runonallmachines.sh apt-get install foobar) could print out the info to stdout, and reading through 30 such messages isn't that big of a deal. Sure, if this were a long term project, or if he had more machines, puppet would make sense, but why not stick with something easier to use when there's no need to step it up a notch?
If you only have 30 machines for one event, puppet/cfengine is overboard. Just set up a passwordless SSH key for root (remember NOT to put the private key on the laptops), and just use a simple script to send the same commands to every laptop.
For cloning, use partimage, clonezilla, or ghost. BUT, if you need to keep the windows partitions (each one is likely licensed differently), only copy the Linux partition and boot sector, not the whole disk.
I don't understand how they've been able to pull something like this. On a free game on iOS we added some stuff which required us to block some content of one of the levels for old ipods, as they didn't had the required power to play it. We were denied the update as apple said that nothing could be taken away from the users in an update (!)
Simple: You announced it truthfully. These guys were sneaky and the lazy/overworked Appstore Door Troll just read the description and gave them a gold star.
Took away your right to a lawyer.
Took away your right to a trial.
Nope, plenty of lawyers and trials everyday here in the US of A.
There are even more cars than lawyers, but we don't have a right to a car (in the same way that a right to a trial was enshrined). Sure, cars aren't illegal In the same way that lawyers aren't illegal, but if you're suspected of something terroristy enough, you'll get a hellfire missile from a drone whether you're an American citizen or not. No lawyer, no trial. And that is unprecedented in the US. Violent response is reserved for someone who is being a present danger, not a potential future or prior one.
Even more, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all believe in the same god (or at least they claim to).
Sorry, this is wrong. Christians believe in a trinity. Many practising christians try to claim this is still "One God", but the slightest academic perusal of the material shows "the father", "the son", and "the holy ghost" as separate entities. Heck, Jesus prays to god at various points and is responded to. That there shows that they are either separate beings or that god is bipolar.
And Jesus also said "Before Moses, I AM*" to a group of Pharisees
*YHWH, the name of God ("I AM that I AM. Tell them 'the great I AM has sent me to you'"), used in this fashion would be the highest of vanity, and thus sacrilege if the Son were not the Father-made-flesh. The trinity is technically referred to as a mystery, and the best I can compare it to would be [mind/body/(heart/soul)] or [logic/hormones/compassion] that make up a human. If you were to apply the rule to a Pantheon, it would be like saying all of the gods of the pantheon were different aspects of the same being, and that they acted with one will. Not too dissimilar from Hindu's concept of Avatars.
Frankly, the strongest implication that there is a separation is Mark 13:32 & Matthew 24:36 "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." but 2000 years of Christians seem fine with the mystery of the trinity.
Back to the original quoted claim: Islam claims that Allah is the same deity that Christians worship, but that Jesus was just a prophet, Christianity claims that Allah is a false idol from the Mecca idol market which just became prominent over the others and was molded into something like Abraham's God after Mohamed met with some Christians, but that Christians actually worship the same deity as the Jews. In Judaism, there is no question that YHWH is singular, like Allah, but of course the similarities start to break down there.
The Bible says that one day God created x, and on one day God created y. It doesn't say how much time elapsed between those events
I'm a Christian too, and I love playing Devil's advocate (which on/. usually means I'm arguing for biblical literalism). The first days in Genesis are very clearly defined as periods of darkness and light. Sure, maybe those periods were longer than 24 hours for some reason (especially without the Sun), but remember that Adam and maybe Eve (exactly when she was created is undetermined) were created in the Garden several "days" before the rest of humanity who were created on the sixth day (Genesis chapter two is a flashback sequence), so that would potentially make Adam and Eve millions of years old if the days were stretched to fit current theories regarding evolutionary timescales. Since Adam died at 930 years old, that doesn't fit. The only way to really mesh the two is to say that Genesis was a nice story that God told Moses when Moses asked how He made everything.
"So, I started it out with this boson, wait, you don't have a Hebrew word for boson. Space and Time didn't exist because only matter creates spacetime, and everything was energy, like light, so nothing had any form, and there wasn't even vacuum. Then I made a boson, and it made a small bit of spacetime, and the energy coalesced into more matter, etc etc...."
"So the Earth was without form and void, and You said 'let there be light!'.."
"That'll get you off on the right start."
Of course from that point, deciding what portions of the bible should be read as intended allegory and what should be read as intended historical fact becomes much more difficult. You start meshing other current hot cultural topics, making more compromises, and eventually you end up with a rainbow color coded Jesus Seminar Bible.
I'm not going to RTFA, so let me guess: they split it up and bzip2 the remaining files? Maybe they split the headers from the rest of the email and compress those separately?
And you believed him along with all the other college kids. Start voting for politicians who lie unconvincingly. Then you won't be left only with the ones who lie convincingly.

Who is Anthony and why is Google ignoring him?
My phone thinks anything is Anthony.
(there's no way to spell Yakov's laugh)
Sure there is:
!ah ah aH
but the "bats**t barbie" thing is offensive, sexist, unfair and largely untrue, just like many (most?) liberal criticisms of Palin.

That could be problematic if flatworms regenerate their heads.
The trade off? They're highly prone to being a flatworm.

Abortion isn't a privacy intrusion
According to Roe v Wade, it all came down to a "right to privacy".
They have to believe in it. It's the cornerstone of Christianity. If there was no original sin, there's no need for Jesus to save us.
That is patently false. Every Christian alive and dead has done a good job of sinning on their own with or without original sin.
Even more, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all believe in the same god (or at least they claim to).

Since the Nokia N770 (2007), Linux has been on ARM - maybe even prior to that.
Way prior to that. I was using Familiar Linux on iPaq devices (and one Zaurus) back in 2003-2004, and it was mature at that point.
