But what kind of a sadistic moron do you have to be to make 'sport' of some poor guy being decapicated slowly with a knife? I can't even imagine what in the world is wrong with you (and I'm happy I can't).
Just meaningless gibberish and insultingly stupid generalisations.
Damn straight! Unlike $POLITITION who really speaks for the people[1]! $POLITITION has been for $POPULAR_ISSUE since the beginning and will continue to fight for what's right[2]!
$POLITITION won't make alll the mistakes the other guy has[3]!
[1] The people who give him/her money that is.

Why do you feel repeating a line you read somewhere makes it correct in all scenarios? Obscurity has it's place in security. It can do a lot to improve security. One shouldn't *rely* on obscurity, but one shouldn't ignore it.
If you have a safe to keep your expensive things in, would you hide it in your house or keep it on the front porch?
Bill Gates never claimed that Windows would be invulnerable to viruses and other security holes. It's not the OS's "job" (according to MS) and it's not what the customers expect. It's sorta like suing Levis because your jeans don't stop bullets. They never claimed they would.
Well, Your statically linked binaries will statically linked to other libraries they rely on (libssl et al). But it doesn't gain you a whole lot I believe. In fact, there can be many drawbacks (say, you upgrade libssl for security reasons, now you need to re-link everything that was ever compiled against libnss).
Well, assuming you've even *dared* to leave your house (do you know how many people will actually see you? Dear lord! Just think of this gross invasion of privacy), why would you buy something? I mean, it'll only be useful when *they* wish to identify you later ("He was wearing a red shirt officer").
I suggest renting an apartment for which you pay cash. Move frequently (but only at night to keep *them* from watching you) and ordering take-out food from different restaurants each day.
But all this is moot if you have friends/family. They may actually know where you are at some point, and we can't have that.
Wait a minute... I think somebody just looked at me! Gaaah! Time to dye my hair and change jobs!
No matter how you cut it, copying and pasting code snippets is a pain in the ass (well, not to mention it's fairly difficult to copy and paste to a system that doesn't work yet...).
Spoken like somebody who's never installed Gentoo.:)
Installing Gentoo is done from a working system. Use the Live CD. It does a pretty good job of detecting network settings, and giving you a machine that is fully functional, and connected to the internet. Set the root password, and fire-up sshd. Now do your *entire* install remotely over ssh from the comfort of another machine that works fine. Or just use Lynx to read the install instructions from the 'to be installed' gentoo machine.
The difference? What if you don't want X support in any of your applications? With gentoo you set the USE flag to "-X" and all those applications that will work on the command line (but also have X support) will not include X support, and thus also not require you to install X. I've done this on more than a couple machines I don't ever intend on having X run on (email server, router, etc).
There are other flags that are extremely useful too (alsa, crypt, ipv6, kde, gtk, gtk2, etc.) that control what options are available to applications. This is another type of 'optimization' most people don't think about.
Umn. He has used WMD's in the past, and made no indications that they had all been destroyed (like he was supposed to). Nor had he made any indications that the weapons plans had been stopped.
In fact, the only person who thought it was *obvious* there were no WMD's was this guy
Yes , Linux, Irix can have multiple "windows", but the whole thing doesn't scroll, you just choose another rectangle to look at.
I see you've never found the 'VituralSize' setting in your XFree86 config file? You can set the 'desktop' size bigger than the 'display' size, and the screen will scroll when your mouse moves past the edge of your 'view'.
BTW, can you *imagine* what would happen if the U.S. decided to implement this policy? All mighty hell would break loose! But if France does it, nobody notices...
We Americans have an exaggerated sense of danger - I don't know if it's because of all the violence in our media or we're just scared.
Or because of that whole 'terrorists flying airplanes into buildings' thing that killed thousands of innocent people. Nahhh, who'd be upset by that? It was just blown out of proportion by the media anyway.
Soooo, we shouldn't care at all about airplane crashes simply because there are more automobile accidents? You're saying that only the #1 causes of death should be of concern? In that case why care about automobile accidents? More people die of heart dissease!
What have CAPPS & friends (fingerprinting/photography at airports, massive visa lines at embassies, whatever) done besides terribly annoy a lot of possibly desirable immigrants and tourists
Have we had any more terrorist attacks using airplanes? This may not be a good argument that things are *working*, but then you've supplied no evidence that these measures are *not* working.
The difficult thing is, whether these things work or not is very difficult to measure. If Bush had implemented such constraints before Sept. 11, and it averted the tradgedy without anybody knowing, then everyone here would be bitching about how the government is infringing on their rights for no good reasons!

Baystar is gripping *somthing* of Darl's, though I'm not sure it's his tongue...

I see and know more unemployed people then the government claims there are, for some reason I trust myself more then them.
You see and know more than 5% of the US population?
Never been through the southwest US have you? You can see nearly everything from the Interstate (horizon to horizon). Lotsa wide open flat land...

Caveat emptor if you will.

Way to overcomplicate the situation...
While all this putting together of credit card info and gathering of RFID's, there's also a live *person* handling the transaction!
If you *didn't* want people to know you just bought underwear at a Wal*Mart, you'll need to send a friggin servant or wear a decent disguise.
Well, assuming you've even *dared* to leave your house (do you know how many people will actually see you? Dear lord! Just think of this gross invasion of privacy), why would you buy something?

Which fork? That'd be really nice. I always thought it was a bit stupid to need a local X server if I only ever wanted to be able to display remotely.

Winzip handles .tar.gz just fine. Not too sure about .tar.bz2...
Right, and because of the way that works you're cutting strangs one-at-a-time (or so). Very effective at penetrating most body armor...
What kind of knives do you use? He said 'stabbing' not 'cutting'. Knives put a lot of force in a *very* small area.
Umn. He has used WMD's in the past, and made no indications that they had all been destroyed (like he was supposed to). Nor had he made any indications that the weapons plans had been stopped.

Funny that you use president Bush as an example of an "extremist christian" and not the Pope...
...that's being exploited but that they refuse to (or cannot) fix.
Let's get the *whole* quote shall we?
