Look for a copyright on the website. If there is one then you can't just copy the news. If there isn't a copyright notice then you can due to copyright law. But you should probably just ask.
Updating your site with news you read, but not a identical copy that you just grabbed off the site, would be ok. You're not copying anything. Just using information from the site to make your own version.
Well for starters it is true. The MTRR support in Linux doesn't work with the Athlon. This has been fixed but as you have found out you need the system bootable for you to be able to get the new kernel. First off see if you can find another computer that you could use. Unlike with Windows you can easily move Linux from one computer to another without running into major problems. Get the harddrive from your Athlon and move it to another computer. Then install Linux on that harddrive on the other computer. Recompile the kernel to remove all MTRR support and then put the harddrive back into the Athlon. You'll need to change some settings such as XWindows settings and mouse settings. But thats pretty easy. For XWindows run XF86Setup on a RedHat machine or xf86config on Slackware or Debian. The mouse settings can be found by running linuxconf on RedHat and by looking in the/etc/rc.d files on Slackware or/etc/init.d files on Debian. If things work right then you can download a new kernel and try getting it to work. Just make sure you don't overwrite your old one!
Well I live in Canada and don't watch much TV. Why bother? I've seen premium cable. What a waste of time. 50 channels and there is still nothing good on.:-( I much perfer slashdot.org
I maintain a small network with 13 Windows computers. I never bother to install Netscape. With IE you get it right out of the box. I can do things faster and therefor save my employer time.
Sure Netscape is just as good if not better then IE. And it doesn't have any of the terrible security of IE. (ActiveX anyone?) But it's just not as easy.
I don't support Microsoft on much, heck I use Linux/Netscape exclusivly at home, but I think they made things much easier/faster by including IE with Windows.
Look at all of the Linux distributions. Notice how all of them (other then Debian) install Netscape? It's not much different then Microsoft including IE with Windows.
But the fact is that in any case with open source you have a chance of such things being found.
Sure about %99 of people will not look in the code at all. But that %1 can always tell the rest of the world. And that %1 will get fame, although not fortune, for finding any leaks. Just imagine what would happen if a serious privacy violation like the one in RealPlayer was found in a OpenSource project. It would be a great way to get your name known.
Anyway with closed source you have to look much harder to find privacy problems. You can't just look at the source code.
Journeling is something Linux badly needs. This can only be good news.
I've been dieing to get a journeled filesystem for my three servers. I design my servers so they will never have to be touched again. But I've always worried that we might get a power outage and the automatic-fsck Linux does might fail. Journeling would be a big help.
The amount of data apps can send about you is scary. Anyone with a network connection is at risk. Perhaps we should be watching what our app are doing with some network monitoring tools?

Why did they revoke access for running Linux? Sounds really dumb to me.

I love the Red Green Show though...
Ooops! You're right.

I'm still waiting for Sun's XFS though...
Just another reason to go with open source...

I wonder what stuff that would turn up...
