1. Police scanner is going to have Guard traffic with Shoot to Kill orders? I highly doubt it, most likely if this order came down, it would of been on the secure channels.
2. Those phones in the head rests on airliners....yeah...not cell based BTW.
Mods...check your ratings, parent is kinda over the top here (Art Belle anybody?)
What entertainment value vs. educational value does a game solicited towards minors which promotes violence against authority figures have? Would the concept of having students entertaining with video games which promotes or otherwise displays strong violence, listen to music on over the air radio broadcasts which promotes or otherwise condones violence, watch TV programs which promotes, displays, and or condones violence in various fashions and physical degrees? Would the consideration of programs on HBO, or various urban rap songs, lyrics and artists which promotes prison has the gangsters paradise be any consideration in the proliferation of violence in students minds?
Would the thoughts of the freedoms we enjoy come back and haunt us? Ever?
Would a society where its children drink two or three soda's a day, eat a hamburgers several times a week, watch various degrees of violence on TV, listen to on radio or music with phrases like "pimp my ho" and "nasty bitchs" and other choice "Ghetto is good"(TM) phrases, or entertains via internet or games with violence the only option, be destined for self destruction?
I'm sure I will be attacked as a troll or zealot or religious fanatic or something of that sort, doesn't matter. What does matter is the simple thought of society training children and students with everything they don't need for a healthy life style. You teach your children to talk through example. You teach your children to dress, act, and interact through example. Why cant a teenager wait to drive, cause he wants what has been around his set as an example.
Same thoughts apply to violence. Everything is set through example.
Thanks Wietse, I enjoy the pleasure of installing postfix from ports. Your team has created a fine peice of software that like my choice operating system, just does it's job.
Note: "Like, for example, in my religion, interest based financial transactions are not allowed."
Also note: the said religion also chooses not to bank with interest, but has an interest in flying airplanes into some of the biggest banks in the world (WTC)......
As somebody who has worked on large Teradata systems, they are something else to work with. Ever open one up and look inside? Usually quad Xeon systems, with very high speed networking. Teradata was doing the concept of "beowulf" clusters even before linux was, but they prove the concept very well.
Teradata DB system is really neat in how it works. Consider it kinda like Postgresql meets MPI. The one thing I would love to see somebody setup in postgresql would be a true massive parallel database system.
My only gripes about the Teradata system is NCR Unix, its very very... um... incomplete. I wish more slashdoters knew more about Teradata, It would be awsome to see some of those concepts make it into postgresql.
For those of us who hold onto our faith dearly, a simple prayer.
"God, I ask you bless and comfort those who are grieving in this time of loss. I ask you bless the Bakker family, and be with the those who have lost a good friend. Allow the loved ones to seek closure for Mr. Bakker. In Jesus name, amen"
When do we see the "I hate the dems" part of slashdot?
Typical of slashdot editors. "Were in our world, as far left as we want to be." Slashdot bashs and bash, either microsoft, or sun, or republicians or whomever...Yet there never is a real solution in sight.
Heh, French use mandrake linux. Teh oh so quicker to surrender....Horay! Gotta love Linux and the word Secure, kinda like Microsoft and Secure...its all a joke.
What makes Mandrake (that last distro I would use) able to be considered "Secure" and "Military Hardened"....
Interesting. Maybe they should consider OpenBSD instead.
I wondered when I saw "Asynchronous NETBios calls from 16-bit programs may not function correctly". Makes you think....16-bit....how could they even care?
Those antennas served as a Ground Entry Point (GEP) for the UHF air-ground radio system code-named "Combat Ciders", which provided communications to the Post-Attack Command and Control System (PACCS) aircraft. Those planes, such as "Looking Glass", were flying command posts on continuous airborne alert, capable of delivering orders to launch nuclear-tipped intercontinental ballistic missiles. In addition, the UHF network was used by Air Force One when the plane was within the system's range.
The reason Windows is in such a hurt is compatibility with everything. Even most Linux distros dont offer the level of backwards compatibility that windows xp or less does. You can still to this day run Win16 apps under windows and still print and save, as if it were no big deal. Thats just not possible with Linux. Try downloading or running a binary from 1994 that was compiled for linux and see if it works, im sure libc and glibc and aout and elf will make things fun.
Its kinda sad how things are around here for Microsoft, Damned of they do, Damned of they dont. Somebody shows progress and they get pounced.
"...one giant leap backwards for mankind?"...And recreating an OS from the 70's isnt? Thats pretty narrow thinking.
As somebody who worked in the Education sector, I find it's hard to save thousands and thousands of dollars considering that a copy of office costs about $30 per workstation, not $300. Remember Educational discounts. Its cost practically nothing for schools to run Microsoft products. There are several reasons they don't want to switch.
#1. Allot of people know/understand Microsoft. There is allot of published documentation and help is usually a phone call or google away.
#2. The business world uses Microsoft products. Not everybody graduating from high school will be a computer tech/engineer. In fact, I would say that less that 1% of each graduating class would be able to qualify at tech/engineer material. Having students knowledgeable in Word, Excel, and Windows is required, what good does it to teach students in Lotus or WordPerfect or Open Office, where after high school they are working in a office setting using something different. They will have to relearn their toolset. Not good.
I know for a fact cause I saw it every day, Its possible to take a student right out of MS Office class and put them in an office building environment and they will do good work, maybe not the best, but you don't have to teach them how to do spell checks or form feeds or other things. Where I worked we used a lot of PC's about 70% worth, but some schools had Apple machines instead, and used apple works or something similar. When I would hire students for our CO-OP program you could tell the Apple users, "I never have used word before". We had good staff that could train these people and get them up to speed, but the point remains, the world uses Microsoft Office. The schools while using Open Office or something else is nice, there is and should be a need to teach Microsoft products. Not teaching them would be wrong to the learning process of students preparing for the business world.
Going strong, in a mature way!
You know, I stay impressed with the quality of FreeBSD. As a longtime UNIX user and Linux user, FreeBSD has the professional "sheen" that I would expect from Solaris or AIX. While I enjoyed using Linux, it was the small things in FreeBSD that made me happy. Complete man pages, vs. halfway done man pages and broken info pages, or ports, or how there was a new kernel of the week (eerie similar to Microsoft). I like the fact that FreeBSD was rather set it up, update it, build your software, and forget about it. It's hard to make the 4.x series die, and the 5.x series is looking close to or already is enterprise ready.
Good Luck, God Bless, and keep up the good work FreeBSD Team.

Patrick, thanks for keep us in the loop. Im praying for you. Good luck guy and God bless.

S/N ratio....
Slashdot needs to either get level and balanced with the political spin or let it go. This is turned into another Kuro5hin.
Please slashdot, put up a banner at the top that says Bush Sucks. Also can we change the default colors to red and pink?
