Partly true. The Y2K think was to save 2 bytes. I remember a similar problem at the time and saying "2 bytes! are you kidding?" The response was "the app has x number of clients and x number of fields. This will save 2 disk spindles". The wise-ass kid (me) turned around, removed foot from mouth, and solved the problem. Oh and it was COBOL.
Spindles were 100MB to 200MB, big like dishwashers, and cost a gazillion plus your next new born.
A Linux based router with public/private keys would do the trick. Well I guess 'till someone breaks that too. DD-WRT has this ability but, when you do turn it on, it does not disable the user/password thing (last time I looked). A -p or something on the sshd command needs to be added.
The commercial routers don't have this option. Um like D-link, Linksys, etc. Unfortunately they are the majority of home/small enterprise routers But this would be the trick to use.
Yes, agreed. This is all absurd. I think fair usage has to be defined again. I see copies on computers as fair use: photocopies of a NYT article. I would really like to walk aroung the RIAAA offices just to see. Yes I knew 3 A's.
I did not read this whole thread because there is too much... and this is like arguing religion or politics. Here are my comments anywho.
I take you back about 50 years when mimeograph machine started to make copies and then to photocopiers. I wonder where the photocopy industry (Xerox) would be if we had been this stiff about copyrights in those days. OK so "we" passed "fair usage laws". End of problem.
Do we realise how many times copyright laws are broken in offices today throughout the world? Look around the office. How many photocopies of everthing are there around? Magazines, newspapers, printed copies of web sites. Photocopies of this and that at school. We do this without even thinking. I remember when we made a "Xerox" of something instead of a copy. Technically they are all copyright violations. Oh yeah... "fair usage". Right!
OK so "you" need to invent "fair usage" again.
I do understand the need for copyright as in "I take IP of someone else and sell it for profit" as though it were mine.
To use the analogy above, if I share an electronic copy of a tune with a friend, I am simply making a photocopy of the New York Times front page and giving it to someone so they can read it. Yes, I did deprive the artist of 1 sell but I also did it to the New York Times. No one makes a fuss about the latter not even NYT.
Isn't P2P like photocopying. Bet ya the RIAAAAAAA have copies of things. How many A's in that?
You are probably right about the *indows machine in the botnet. The brand is irrelevant.
What is never mentioned is how many servers are infected (websites) with malware (or participate in it) because of errors in the apps running on them. I would say most of these are running *nix. I don't see IIS that much.
I think we are converting a botnet (spam) problem into a religious OS thingy.
Hygrade frankfurts are fresher because more people eat them or do more people eat them because they are fresher?
There are more *doze PCs out there so more of them will be infected.
Interesting but I see no links to any documentation that I can can read to validate this. Is it theory or truth?...or a fun thing to say? Anyone can make an accusation.
This is the first time I hear this. Surely it would (or should) have come out when the father or the son was campaigning (or Jeb).
Anyone have something on this?
For the record: I am not American and am not taking sides here and am not really up on all the information on the Bushes. (or is that Bushs?)
Let's not worry too much on this. Nature can adapt. If there is a "virus" on the planet its anti-bodies will fix the problem. If we are the virus it knows how to fix that.:)
A month later it is news (for Nerds) although it is still stuff that matters.
Now I ask if you need to know someone to submit or does it have to be written by someone else?
This is borderline spyware or badware. Shame on them. Even worse. Let's say you do a search and within the results is a site that, if visited, will raise someone's flag somewhere. Guess what? You visited. You have just made the list of people to monitor. A well meaning crusader of something or other could devastate people lives with this misleading data. I'm sure we can all think of examples. I removed it then did an install without it. Geez did we need this?
Put in 2 cables while you are there. If the first breaks then you hav a second. More money up front but less if it breaks. Consider this as an insurance premium.
No you should NOT have been modded off-topic. It was a valid point to the topic. Fat people are fat because they (most) want to be. Their problem though. Their right also.
So we pick on them right? for global warming? We all know what most causes global warming. The cars. So while we make noise about fat people no one is thing about the cars. Sorry not excited!

Because everything was on punched cards (80 characters) and there was only A-Z and 0-9 and it grew from that when we went to screens.

Only if you work for a government.

If you understand French there is also one that says Jesus with just a tiny space between the "e" and "s".
This was a shirt for women.
Well now uou know where to find one. You just have to get there. :)
Scotty will use it in the future to fix the Enterprise. Good stuff.
And Line 6 also??

Anyone have stats on percentages (with a link)?

I believe Stephen King was also a early publisher in the magazine.
Sure! How can anyone use more than even 64K (was the saying when the 8086 came out).
Quote from the article (I actually read it).
Yep, the planetarium software all runs on Windows XP, with no plans to upgrade to Vista.
Yes, because the early bird gets to eat the worms.
Sleep late. That's what I say... and beat the traffic.

He said tongue-in-cheek.
Until he (could be a she) meets someone badder than he.
Yuk Yuk.
Bet they (nfb) are not too pleased about this.
Again Yuk Yuk
I submitted an article to ./ on May 30 about this AVG thing. I did not read about it but discovered it for myself. I was rejected.

OK. Bad choice of words.

Most fat people are fat because most do nothing about 1) not becoming fat or 2) sliming down. (In effect they want to be fat). Super size it
