Just curious, but what did he need he need ssh for?
I know what I use it for, but I really can't see my mom using ssh. And it's pretty easy to lock down if only you are using it to help update his system (or some other legitimate excuse.)
There is not much you can do in regards to weak passwords other than forcing users to create strong passwords. But you can not install applications that allow others to remotely log into your system.
Think of the consequences, of an oppressive state, that willingly attacks anyone (esp. cyber attacks), blackmails its neighbours (over North Korea), and completely ignores any laws on copyright
Sorry, could you specify whether you're referring to China, or the US. Hard to differentiate on those criteria. If you'd said "invades or bombs foreign countries on a whim", "kidnaps, imprisons and tortures nationals of any country without due process", I might have guessed.
Sorry, couldn't resist that straight line.
Maybe. But if you think the US really is the same, ask yourself why China tries to block half the the internet from it's people.
You can bash the US government when you are online. Do you think if you were a Chinese citizen in China you would get away with being so pubic with you criticisms?
And before the obvious responses, I not the one who began the comparison of China thread and I am not saying that being better than China in regards to liberty is worthwhile goal. (That sets the bar too low.)
The Canadians would agree they're technically Americans, but they'd rather avoid the term and stick to being called Canadians. Same goes for the other countries.
The last time I was in Canada (which was about 8 years ago,) people would get upset when you asked if they took "American" money and then explain that Canadian money was "American" money.
That was in the British Columbia side. I guess the other provinces are different.
And yes it was a petty nickpick. Since when is that a crime on slashdot?:)
Why does the rest of the world (and the US) deserve this to happen?
By the way, it's "as a US citizen" unless you are lumping Canada, Mexico, and all the nations in South America as countries that have it coming to them.
It is the neolibs that post those stupid posts and you just eat it up because it fits so perfectly with what the media have told you a conservative is.
Those posts are solely designed to taint the character of the people that do not support their ideology.
It is so blatant that I cannot believe so many slashdotters fall for it.
These posts do not contain any kind of conservative message, just racial hatred. (And to anticipate the response - racial hatred is not conservatism.)
Honestly, if these "redneck conservatives" are passionate enough to sit by their computers all day and post this garbage, why would they post anonymously? Do you really think someone filled with this much hatred would be afraid of someone seeing their made up username?
I don't consider those people atheists (whether in the USSR, PRC, Cambodia, etc). That might have been something they said they were, but to me, they were in a cult of their own, complete with an array of deity status "super men"--I believe this to be the case, even if they didn't realize it.
That goes both ways.
I don't consider those pedophiles, thieves, and other evil men actually religious even though they said they were.
Why? Did the Clinton's and everyone working with them disappear during that timeframe?
Could that tape have had more information that shows that the Clinton's could have prevented 9/11 before Bush even hit office? And before a new president can try to start new hearings, it disappears?
Don't know, don't really care, but I do know that the timeline does not affect what I said in the slightest.
In fact, I didn't even state it was a coverup. I asked what the Slashdot reaction would be (and judging by yours being the only response, I guess I have my answer.)
Slashdot Mirror
An losing jobs that produce what you would say is undesirable output.
Bring it

That's why I hold my breath
it was effectively just s/drug dealer/terrorist/.... It's sad how little people actually care about their rights.
Unless they're terrorists, apparently. :)
I say Lunix to make fanboys angry
Why would misspelling a word make anyone but grammar fanboys angry?
What's that symbol next to your name? I can recall seeing that before.
I assume that he pissed someone off that has mod points.
Any statement he makes is being marked as troll
That was true almost 8 years ago.
Not anymore.

Well skipping step two we have the h.264 codec
What the hell?

They did cut out anything positive about GM save the jobs "saved." (I'm curious how that number is calculated as well.)
So what if it's cheaper than employee lunches? What does that have to do with anything?
If they saved a few millions a year, that is more money they can throw at another project that they actually control
I believe superslacker87 was referring to obtaining more free proprietary software, not to whether a license can expire.

It amazing that nvidia, id, unreal, and others are able to handle it?
Where did Jurily mention open source?

Maybe you don't give people enough credit.
God is important and relevant in our lives and religion provides a path to him.
Perhaps it's time for the "open minded free thinkers" to quit trying to push their hollowness on us.
As much as you like to believe religion is being forced on you, it's not. Your kind of thinking and cynicism is the norm.
Just look at your post. Marked 5 insightful when for making vague assertions toward the "evils" of religion.
Especially when the "Get A MAC" argument has not been used here.
Do you have some sort of list of last.fm users I could look over to confirm your statement?
No but the RIAA could help you with that one.
