I firmly believe Alabama's state legislature is nuts, no argument from me there at all. Essentially has been since its' inception.

I'm tired of listening to them, I'll be glad when all those camps are finally ready.

They've been ready. The US Army has a MOS for the re-education camps.

Editor’s note: Connecticut State Police have confirmed that Adam Lanza did, in fact, use a Bushmaster .223 high capacity rifle and two hand guns. As far as we can tell, NBC has not issued a retraction.

Hey, I worked on Obama's campaign to get him elected to the US Senate. At the time, I lived in Willowbrook, Illinois and was more liberal because I worked union. Bo Jackson lived on the other side of Kingery Highway (about a mile from my place). It's not Obama, it's the real owners of this country. The president is just a puppet.

Kinda sad you're still using Windows XP. I was kinda hoping you were a Linux guy, seeing as you sent me a Debian logo in one of your posts earlier.

I am a Linux guy (I use Puppy for many different things concerning windows computers). OpenBSD, Red Hat, Fedora, Debian, etc(Red Hat 9 was my first Linux OS in 2003). I use three computers.That picture was made when I was repairing a friends Dell 4700 (it's on a 32 GB USB stick). I upgraded the RAM for her and am now looking at upgrading her processor to the max for that motherboard and get her a better graphics card (present graphics card is 256MB at DDR2, I'm upgrading to 1gig at GDDR3, 128bit bus width). I'll also be upgrading her OS to Win 8. I was hoping to talk her into a dual boot with Fedora or OpenBSD and Win 8, but she's like the 99% of Americans with respect to windoze.

Here's the graphics card which should do fine since she's not a gamer.

http://accessories.u...aynote_irrank=0

She's a luck girl cause I'm not charging her for all of these upgrades. We work together doing animal rescue and that's what she uses her computers for. Hell, I gave away a Dell 1545 to another animal rescue friend for her to use.

Fema camps, black helicopters, black technology, environmental engineering aka chem trails, (insert other covert secret)... are all likely real in some capacity or some small scale (based on historical precedent alone). There is an inherent problem with the assumption that one day, the power will come on and these secret assets will suddenly subvert the free peoples of the united states. Resources. There aren't nearly enough drones, helicopters or death camps to contain very many of us.

No, Fabian socialism requires that we be subverted by our amusements, our affluence and our general apathy, so that we lay down our rights and our arms voluntarily.

I'm personally fascinated with rail-guns, should they ever become economically feasible.

And it's good to find another *nix guy, regardless of ideological disagreements. I dropped Window$ and never looked back after I found Debian.

I've looked into using Debian on my home PC. What are the "downfalls" of Debian v/s windows?

[AUDub 11,184]

I've looked into using Debian on my home PC. What are the "downfalls" of Debian v/s windows?

Hardware compatibility can be an issue, but most things will work out of the box. Programs like Office won't work (there are ways, but it's a tad advanced if you're just getting in to it. Look up WINE), and there are generally good open-source alternatives. You may have to do a little low level coding to mold it to your liking, but it's generally fairly easy to use by default. Keep in mind that Debian is a project, not a product. Community development is the core of the open source market.

In your case, with no UNIX experience. I'd start with a Debian based OS like Ubuntu, which is a good starting point because of its (relative) ease of use. Visit the website. There are ways to try it out before you commit, booting from live DVD's or flash drives. Be prepped for a bit of a learning curve, but the Ubuntu forum has how-to's for everything. BF recommended puppy, which is another good way to break yourself in.

Hope this helps!

[Bottomfeeder 244]

Linuxmint or Ubuntu if you have never used Linux. Linuxmint is pretty good out of the box, but everyone is different. There is also a new Linux OS that is suppose to be even easier, I'll have to find it.

Pardon my ignorance, but what's the point?

Are you guys developers or gamer's or something? What do you do with a computer that works better with these operating systems? Are computers a hobby for you?

I say this from the perspective of being introduced to computers in my job in the 1980's. I learned word processing, spreadsheets, a data base and Powerpoint. I later got into digital photography and I occasionally record music.

Of course, while I was doing this I had technology support people to make it all work.

To me, having to mess with my computer's hardware or software is (sometimes) necessary evil. I just want my application to work and spend my time mastering it. I hate to mess with the computer itself. I sure don't want to introduce compatibility issues, etc.

Well, for me it's refusal to support the government sanctioned monopoly that is Micro$oft. But we all have our own reasons.

Here's an interesting bit of info for you:

The Cathedral and the Bazaar

And yes, computers are indeed one of my favorite hobbies. The flexibility that the world outside of Window$ offers is a thing of beauty to a hacker. If you know what you're doing, you can help make things better for all involved. It's a rather fulfilling hobby.

A lot of people feel the same way (necessary evil) as you. Some people just want a car that gets them from point A to point B. Others want to understand how things operate under the hood and tweak them to our liking.

Well, I understand that. I think it's a generational thing also. When I was at Auburn a calculator capable of doing square roots (a big deal) was a couple of hundred dollars. Needless to say, I didn't have one.

I got my first calculator when I took my first job after graduation. I didn't really trust it and used to check the results with my slide rule! :-\

It's not that I'm not mechanically inclined. I do understand stuff (that I can relate to) and sometimes modify things to work better. But computer technology doesn't really move me, like for example, a motorcycle or car. The time I put into technology is focused on learning applications. Whatever I know about computers has been learned from pure necessity, and that didn't really start to happen until I left the warm embrace of my technical support girl.

This plus I don't have to pay for software and most of the nasties like viruses, trojans, malware, etc. OpenBSD is practically immune to (I love their firewalls). Linux offers an OS that is fully capable of running twice as fast as anything the resource hog windoze ever thought about doing. Most of the programs I run the Linux build already has compilers for, like C++, calc and Matlab (although I had to download Matlab, no biggie it's FREE) and if not I can always add them. From video editing, with of the MANY video editing software tools, to saving a word documents in.pdf format out of the same program with which it was created (Librewrite). Partitioning and formatting hard drives for windows and mac installations using Puppy. Multi-boot hard drive apps to writing firmware and emulators for remote displays. From home automation to DCS controls and PLC programming that is untouchable by the recent attacks on the Iranian industrial control networks that use windoze. Home networking tools like Tomato to cellphone apps like Android/Froyo & Gingerbread. Copying Apple and Windows file systems without corrupting integrity. CAD and 3D rendering without paying for expensive software. CD/DVD creation without having to give up information to Microsoft. Writing algorithms that integrate different processes. Not to mention the speed when browsing the internet. I can boot a live USB (I also have live Mac and Windows bootable CDs AKA .iso) and do what I want to do without leaving a trace. Data management. The list in infinite.

I not going to get into arrays and servers.

3. Description:

The httpd packages contain the Apache HTTP Server (httpd), which is the

namesake project of The Apache Software Foundation.

Input sanitization flaws were found in the mod_negotiation module. A remote

attacker able to upload or create files with arbitrary names in a directory

that has the MultiViews options enabled, could use these flaws to conduct

cross-site scripting and HTTP response splitting attacks against users

visiting the site. (CVE-2008-0455, CVE-2008-0456, CVE-2012-2687)

[AUDub 11,184]

Goodness! It's so nice to see there's another person around that understands Linux just as much (if not more so) than I do! I'm actually very familiar with PLC home automation. I have a LinuxMCE server that I originally built almost exclusively for X10. I've since migrated to Zwave, and it seems secure enough for a wireless protocol. I'm also familiar with LAMP stacks, as I built a few to try my skills. By extension, I'm well aware of Apache's vulnerability that you just described so succinctly. I've used ddWRT to great success on my old WRT54G, and it's the best router I've owned, even at a decade. I have a rooted Droid. I'm using an iPad with iOS (FreeBSD based)

NORTON GHOST = CLONEZILLA (It works with NTFS!)

K3b FOR CD/DVD BURNING

TOTEM OR VLC FOR MEDIA PLAYBACK

There's an open-source alternative for everything. Google runs on Linux.

Most of what you describe is probably over the head of a few here, but if you know the terms, this is an excellent description of all the *nix OS's are capable of. I recommend the jump drives for poor stupid customers that don't know how to hid their more devious *cough*pr0n*cough* activities from their wives. Lol.

[Bottomfeeder 244]

LMAO! I'm still learning and I don't think there is any one Linux engineer that knows it all. That's why we call it a community. I use some of the greasmonkey apps for facebook invites. I love my VLC and video capture addon's for youtube. I think we are about even on knowledge and experience, but I just can't stop learning it because I'm addicted.
