'GENERAL TERMS THAT APPLY TO COMPILED PROGRAMS AND REDISTRIBUTABLES You may write and compile (including byte-code compile) your own application programs using the Software, including any libraries and source code included for such purpose with the Software. You may reproduce and distribute, in executable form only, programs which you create using the Software without additional license or fees, subject to all of the conditions in this statement.'

Actually, it's what the license does not state that one should concern themselves.

For example:

No restriction on source code distribution is explicit in the language of the contract.

No restriction is placed on use of libraries provided by Borland.

No restriction is placed upon the authors' "intellectual property" so subsequent distribution should pose no problem.

Additionally, it's important to note that a compiler cannot produce source code. Source code is produced via the combination of knowledge of a computer language, combinatorial logic (using your brain, duh), and your favorite text editor (vi, or emacs, for example). Therefore, it is impossible for Borland to restrict the subsequent distribution of any product that does not require the use of their C/C++ compiler. The compiler merely links and compiles an executable that is specific to the environment that the source code was compiled.

Hence, it is safe to conclude that the premise of this article is in error. Borland can place no restriction on the "intellectual property" that is produced exclusive of Borlands' compiler technology.

Have a look at my database driven web site.

It's a shame that more network administrators don't make use of Sendmail's built-in mechanisms that deny forwarding of SMTP requests by default.

Simply stated, if you are mysite.org your mail daemon will not accept mail destined for someothersite.org from spammaster.com. You can use the M4 macro technique to create the sendmail.cf file.

Mechanisms for precise tuning include:

relay_hosts_only - Forces list of each host in domain.

relay_entire_domain - Setting this feature allows relaying of all hosts within your domain.

access_db - This enables the hash database /etc/mail/access to enable or disable access from individual domains.

relay_hosts_only - enabled by default.

blacklist_recipients - If set, this feature looks up recipients as well as senders in the access database.

accept_unqualified_senders - Normally, sendmail will not accept mail from a sender without a domain attached.

accept_unresolvable_domains - Normally, sendmail will refuse to accept mail that has a return address with a domain that cannot be resolved using regular host lookup.

relay_based_on_MX - Setting this feature permits relaying for any domain that is directed to your host.

So, sendmail is quite flexible, and will not inconvenience your users. Additionally, your access list is based on a database that you define. `;^)

Not to start a flame war, but RedHat Linux is without a doubt the worst linux distribution. Why do I make this assertion? There are several reasons:

Early adoption of glibc (glibc was a disaster).

Essential tools missing from the distribution. For example, RedHat was late to adopt the QT libs (they worked so adopting these libraries is fine).

Inconsistent quality from release to release.

Many security flaws (read "bugs").

The fact is, you could not choose a more poorly implemented Linux distribution.

Perhaps RedHat's worst problem is the "hiding Linux complexity from the user" mantra. This does untold damage to those folks who wish to learn Linux internals.

If you're serious about Linux you are a Slackware user. It's that simple.

...what if the judge had gone the other way?

Hmmm...I guess that makes him a bisexual judge `;^)

Okay, I'm a smart-ass!

You are absolutely correct! 100%.

Not to mention:

Cisco makes quality products.

Cisco has a far more stable future, owing to the increasingly networked nature of our world.

Rock on, Cisco!

Here's my web pages

Like it or not, this is the wave of the future. It is inevitable that man will continue to build intelligence into even the most mundane of objects. Moreover, who could object? For the most part automation improves our lives, and we are all better as the result of this drive toward integration of intelligence into common appliances, etc.

May the proliferation of tech continue!

The best resume is your web site.

The web site should also have the following characteristics:

Original content site.

All servers should be personally administered, configured and managed.

Develop an in-depth knowledge of Linux/UNIX. You have to answer questions, so try to be prepared.

There is no substitute for knowledge and experience, so if you put it on your resume, you should understand that subject in depth.
