I have. I have purchased FLAC albums digitally without DRM several times (The Divine Comedy and COIL). Add the FLAC losslessly compressed files and a high quality folder.jpg and I'm happy. I wish more indy artists or their labels would sell directly over the internet. I also bought Radiohead's In Dreams and enjoyed listening to part of it this morning.
Are you kidding me? Sun has just announced the T2 (Niagara 2) processor - 64 concurrent threads. High speed 10G networking. Built-in encryption support for apache. Sun is still in the "game" - its just that the "game" has changed and Sun can no longer make money selling $1M USD refrigerator-sized servers. Hopefully, Sun can make money by selling the most technologically advanced sub $20K servers that are optimized for scalability, throughput and middleware (Databases, web, infra etc).
I know what you mean - in my old company, we had 1 problematic HP DL server running RH linux - of course, when we had problems, RH blamed HP and HP blamed the RH linux code. Of course, I had been spoiled previously because most of the Unix boxes used to be Sun Servers running Sun Solaris.
I have been a nextel customer for at least 3 years now and tried to downground the plan (# minutes, less $$$) I am on. The CSR wouldn't let me without signing another 1 or 2 year contract. I refused. I can't wait until the end of November. Bye Bye Nextel!
CERT claims 95% of routine break-ins can be avoided by diligent patching.

I would hope that most distros' update mechanisms use PKI tech and a trusted root certificate chained content signing cert like Marimba's sophisticated infra system or Microsoft's Windows Update.
Marimba worked very hard to build a update infra that remains secure and tamperproof even if the transmitter server was cracked. The content signing certicates can't be easily switched because of the PKI technology (and the fact that the PKI enabled agents would notice the tampering as well).
Of course, hobbyists have a hard time affording quality content certs and building out tamperproof update infra but profit seeking companies should have no excuse.
please consider JCR's comment definitive. I myself played the NeXTSTEP version (without sound). The original DOOM level editor was written in Obj-C (according to comp.sys.next.programmer a while ago).

I believe Dolby Labs has patented a similar approach for the modern AVR. Expect it to appear in the next generation or so.
