IANAL but I heard that in Canada you can carry any size of blade, since there are some religious groups where it is considered normal. (Not sure which ones).
I may be wrong though
If someone installed Linux (which I would seriously doubt since they are all lawyers who wouldn't even know where to start) I would definitely congratulate them but inform them that they are on their own. I know how to admin Linux it's just that I have enough work with NT:)
The only individual saying they use any video game in this way is a highly paid 'consultant' who makes his money testifying in 'Oh my! Little Johnny has been corrupted by Doom!' cases.
I have seen this guy, he is some former Army colonel and religious biblethumper. Funny thing is that nobody has talked to John Douglas (sp?). He is (was?) the lead profiler for the FBI, actually Starling's boss in Silence of the Lambs was based on him (not like he had a big part in the movie), plus I believe he was also a consultant for the movie. Anyways way back when Ted Bundy was alive Dr James Dobson, who is a big Family counselor type guy with a book and a website (www.fotf.org) was involved in the anti-pornography movement in the 80's around the time that Tipper was crusading against dirty music.
Anyways good ol' Ted Bundy called up Dr. Dobson and did a public interview claiming that it was smut that made him do the things he did. Anyways it ends up (according to John Douglas and others have backed him up on this) that Bundy was pulling Dobson's chain and having fun with him. One thing Bundy wasn't was an idiot. The murders he did had nothing to do with porn but a hatred of women in general after being tragically dumped by some girl in his past. Plus the woman he believed to be his sister was actually his mother and his parent's were actually his grandparents. It seems that these two incidents threw him over the edge. John Douglas' point was stuff like porn doesn't make somebody do this but will only reinforce the feelings that are there. I think this can also be associated with violence in the media. Instead of getting rid of the violent video games, dark music, etc, look at why the person has an attraction to it instead. Chances are you will find something in their past that can be attributed to it.
What's to prevent them from doing the same on the internet?
Because the Internet is not all about the US anymore. Granted a huge chunk is US based but there is still a considerable amount that is outside the US's jurisdiction. Even if the Govt decided to censor US based webservers (which I really have a hard time believing), I doubt that they would start trying to pull access control like China is doing.
Course stranger things could happen.
My choice between Gore and Bush? Gore cause I am pretty sure that he hasn't gotten the latest version of Handout 2000 from M$ like Bush
They will only learn when their customers start to feel the same way you do.
Better question is when are all the third party software manufacturers going to support Linux.
I work for a law firm who has special needs and will probably never go over unless some of their apps work in Linux and VMware is not an alternative since why run an os in a window if you can just put the OS on the machine. Trust me I bet MS would prefer VMware succeeding rather than Wine.
We have the right to know what our government is doing with our money.
That's easy it is all going to Shawinigin (sp?) Quebec!!
For those out of the know Shawinigin is where the Prime Minister is from. So far he has moved where our tax forms go there, spent $20M on a conference center, built a golf course etc etc.
Hi my name is Chris and I have my MCSE. I only got it because I was moving from a CAD Support life where I drew little boxes in Mentor Graphics software (Hated the job) to doing Network admin work and needed some kind of qualifications. Of course it will be null and void once the year ends due to the whole win2000 fiasco. But am I going to get an update??
No.
Why not? All the certificate is, is a piece of paper. Experience means more. Now I am the (only)admin for a 50+ user law firm (gotta start small). When I came in we had 5 NT servers. Now we have 5 NT servers and one Linux server running Samba and if I can get away with it the next server won't be billware. The conversion continues.
Actually it is 4.5 in Canada. Plus you don't drink it for the alcohol. You drink it for the hair it puts on your chest ARGH ARGH (plus the flavour which can grow on you. It only took me three to start liking it)
haven't drank much Canadian beer since the early
70s but I recalled the best Canadian beer being
the Labatt 50.
UGH! Labatt 50 is like Bud. Truckers drink that crap! (No offense to truckers)
Personally if I drink Canadian beer it is usually Rikkards Red. I hear that before Molson bought the Capilano brewery it was a lot better. I have also heard that about Kokanee before Labatts swallowed them up.
or Upper Canada Rebellion, ro Upper Canada Ale. dragon's breath however, tastes like its name. The best beer to feed to our American friends is Brador.;) (6.5% alcohol)
That's why I have moved into Guinness. I find most light ales too weak. For me Kieth's tastes like water. But you don't give Americans Brador, (maybe if you like them), you give them Fin du Monde (which translates to "The End of The World") it has 10%+ alcohol.
Umm, yeah. How can a CEO do anything with stock without knowing if the company will bomb right after he sells it. CEO's always know if the company Quarterly results will be good or not, and so every CEO can be charged with this. It's a load of bullshit.
When I worked at Newbridge I heard that people in the know had to announce their intentions to sell stock months in advance(Can't remember how many though 2? 3?). I guess that null and voids the potential of insider trading. Course I was a lowly peon. The fastest I could sell would have been the day before the trade (which was always Friday)
This may be redundant to anybody who has been following it (I have been watching it for about 3 months) but they (the guys who do ogg) have already released a plugin for Winamp. I tried it out and didn't see anything wrong with it.
The only thing I didn't like was the fact there wasn't a GUI for encoding, but that was 3 months ago and there may be by now.
I think you missed his point which was why do we care what an idiot like Moody says since we know he is full of crap. The key reason to care is not because we know he is crap but a potential admin who wants to use Linux as a server rather than M$'s may get his idea ixnayed by a pointy-haired management type who happen to come across this article and panics.
Don't say that! The poor dears need to find all the Windows bugs they can! Linux isn't an operating system, it's a religion! (Remember: if MS reports a bug it's their incompetence, but if any Linux company reports a bug it's laudable honesty.)
Ah but the ignorant masses look at any OS that has found more bugs to be the worse OS (I think that is why we call them ignorant)>, of course they don't realize the benefit of opening up the source allows more people to find the bugs. See related link here
IcesTorm-I noted a supposed windows bug that will make ya wonder
I don't think this can be called a "windows bug" since it sounds like the BIOS does this. Doesn't matter if you are running M$, Linux, or *BSD, it would happen anyways.
This seems like a win/win scenerio, and annother case of Slashdot overemotional reporting.
Funny you say that, when I was working at Newbridge, my manager said the same thing of Newbridge selling off of Cambrian (who did DWDM) to Nortel (shortly after I believe Timestep and ACC went elsewhere too). Seems like Nortel has now gotten the better part of the deal.
We won't. Not because they're MS tricks, but because they won't work on all the browsers out there (IE: Netscape, Opera, etc...)
Now if more webdevelopers had that attitude life would be grand. I am not impressed when I go to a site using Opera and get some page saying to update to the latest version of Netscape or IE. Any commercial site worth it's salt should know better than to isolate users.

Ah that's how it works! Thanks for the info.
Hmm maybe I will get a 2 for this one?!?

Actually I saw the ebay link earlier this week (Monday I believe) on Bluesnews and at that time it was going for $100k.
