DMCA Forces Cox To Censor Changelog?
Ross Vandegrift writes: "Alan Cox released 2.2.20pre10 today, which includes security fixes. He is refusing to indicate what security holes have been fixed, as Unix-style permissions could be used as an anti-circumvention device. The thread starts here.

fa!
i see this post getting modded up, people replying with flames, modded as overrated, modded up again, then modded into the ground as "troll".
He's only going to hurt Linux users wanting to see the changelog, the rest of the world couldn't care less. Maybe he should spend more time thinking about a little exercise, a shower, and some grooming tips rather than this bullshit.

Can you imagine microsoft getting this sort of attitude with updates to windows? ... i think not...
Cruise TT
Just had a thought... This might be even better...
What you're proposing could never be carried out on a windows machine, and even if it could, what NT SysAdmin would have the brains to keep up with all of the patches?
/them/ with a comment.
I think that what Allan Cox needs to keep in mind -- what we all have to keep in mind -- is how to make sure Linux can compete with Windows. If that means wild speculation about the rants of some "IANAL's" interpretations of the law.... well, then, that's what we've got to do. As long as it helps ensure corporate acceptance of our software.
As for the BSD users... I won't even bother dignifying
Oh, and I'm sure I'll get modded down... because the moderators are just glorified script kiddies who wouldn't understand my radical insight. Well, too bad!
In Marshalltown, Iowa, horses are forbidden to eat fire hydrants.
It seams that the building design specs called for asbestos insulation on the support structure to avoid the catastrophic collapse that a fire could cause. This was used up to the 64th floor, when the use of asbestos insulation was banned in NY. At the time, one designer pointed out that if a fire broke out above the 64th floor, the building would collapse.
Now, asbestos is dangerous when inhaled, but with proper handling is no more dangerous than, say, gas mains.
One friend is of the opinion that of the 6000 dead (pick your number), 1000 were the result of a terrorist attack, and 5000 were the result of government irrationality. Had asbestos insulation been used, it is estimated that the buildings would have stood for at least four hours, if not indefinitely, allowing many of those 5000 to escape.
You could've hired me.
I am worried about about a script kiddie with a dictionary and a basic script to crack everyone's passward and I am worried about licesning costs. Anyone here have an idea on how I should approach the issue with my boss?

Alan Cox knows he's going to get busted if he ever goes to the US again so maybe its best he just doens't go there.
The real problem is what happens when the US goes to him. With the way Blair seems to be tring hard to be the 51st governer it may not be long till hiding in the UK won't save Cox either.
So what happens with Oz when the UK becomes a state? Will the Queen still be the head of state or will the chain of command be much different? I wonder how King George the 3rd feels about all of the this and if there is much rolling in his grave.
(as I quickly try to find my asbestos undies)
up up and away, yay!
not.
