When I went through infantry training at Ft Benning I learned that the term "infantry" referred to a nation's ability to field soldiers, which is dependent upon the birth rate.

More infants = more soldiers.

Thus, by extrapolation, soldiers, especially infantrymen, are considered to be expendable.

Sadly, bureaucracy has allowed the care given to our veterans to fall short of expectations, but for many of those with military experience such treatment is par for the course.

AdSuck, from the good folks at Conformal, blocks unwanted connections and thus decreases unwanted network traffic.

Meanwhile the monopoly in my area continues to receive my payments, no matter what they do.

It's also commonly known that Israel is one of the more active espionage opponents of the USA.

Kill a million and you're the Emperor.

I would begin with Isaiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things."

When someone offers all the beer I drink for one low monthly price, I'll be signing up.

That said, I appreciate how much the OS has improved since I first gave "Breezy Badger" a spin a few years ago, and Ubuntu is the obvious choice when I recommend an alternative OS to my non-tech savvy acquaintances.

Free != lazy

Also, lazy people dislike having to manually configure their web clients.

It's got to be his soothing tone.

Sure, some will claim that, "Alaska is always cold, and Hawai'i is always hot," which is a typical fallacy.

People surf in Alaska, and it snows in Hawai'i. (We just had a hailstorm a few weeks ago.)

Back in the 1970's I remember seeing snow fall halfway down the slopes of 13,796 foot Mauna Kea, something we don't see too often anymore.

On my FreeBSD and Linux systems, the ssh -f parameter sends the process to the background, and the -N prevents remote command execution.

  Unfortunately, there's nothing users can do to protect themselves

I would do something like;

ssh -C -D 8080 -fN user@server.tld

Then it's as simple as setting your web connected applications to use the localhost proxy on port 8080.

Could it be that those failing are failing because their ideas are just not as great as they had imagined?

I often go 30, or more, consecutive hours without sleep when working on certain projects.

No drugs involved, no coffee, just a driving desire to accomplish my goals.

I also sometimes go 2 or 3 days without eating a real meal.

I think I got around 3 hours of sleep last night.

Kudos to those who could care less about social stigma.

That said, I agree with your comment.

I don't live in a mansion by the beach, I'm 22 miles inland, downhill from one of the world's most effusive volcanoes. Where I can afford to live.

In 1996 I was making $27.95 per hour.

I'm not going to say what I earn now, but it's not that great.
