This is what open source is all about... the strongest will survive. If no one find the product useful, it will eventually die off. On the other hand, it could be come wildly popular, and take many users/developers from competing open source projects...
Companies that run their own networks (i.e. uunet, sprint, etc.) *are* the Internet when they join together. Universities/large companies purchase connections to these networks, which are in turn connected to other networks.
I do agree with your analogy, as I made the same one for the article. However, I do think a single system can be a problem. Not for causing a DOS, but for a launching ground for numerous other attacks (i.e. well know BOFs, port scanning, etc.).
Someone stole my car without my knowledge, and commited a crime with it? Would this situation not apply to a computer being comprimised without the users knowledge? A person wouldn't (shouldn't) be held liable for a crime commited with their car, without their knowledge, because they left it unlocked...
You missed the part about MS KB articles 314828 (XP) and 162001 (2000).
When you duplicate it via DD or simliar systems, all the duplicated systems have identical machine SID's. Which is a very bad thing. Micrsoft doesn't offer any solution for fixing this, I think you could regedit the Keys, but I have no idea what the ramifications of that would be.
as for the speed thing, make sure dma is on (hdparm -d1/dev/hda && hdparm -d1/dev/hdb)
somehow I don't like the idea of my private ssh keys being sown like a seed across a number of systems. To much of a headace worrying about where they are, were they deleted properly... etc.
Whaahaaaaa You've got to be kidding. CEO's earning their pay? Yeah Dick Grasso, *really* earned the boat loads of cash. Ken lay, honest John in my book. There's a list a mile long of crooks who are CEOs, and I'm sure there is a list even longer of those yet to get caught.
Personally, I would put most CEOs on par with Professional atheletes or The "big ticket" actors.
in a wired article they suggest they will use their recently aquired Connectix product "Virtual PC" to provide backwards compatibilty. I'm not quite sure if this is possible... Does Virtual PC emulate a processor? Or is it like VMware, and emulate a BIOS...
I disagree completly with "Not only is it technologically superior to Itanic,...". I'm not processor architecture expert, but it would seem to me that exteneding a 20+ year old design would be technologically inferiour to a design developed in the last 10. From a business perspective I think 64bit x86 is a better bet, a more gradual progression, but not technologically superiour.
I've been a Debian user for several years now. At my current employeer we migrated to Debian from Redhat, and have never looked back. Debian has been far easier to manage in our environment (mainly servers installed at client's sites, which are scarrated accross the province).
I've been trying to understand why so many Redhat users have been up in arms about the changes. From the outside it seems to me like Redhat Linux will live on in Fedora. But many redhat users feel as though they've been tricked and are stuck between a rock and a hard place... either pay the bucks for RHEL or get stuck with the consumer grade (unstable) Fedora.
Who said anything about "isolated and disconnected" products?
They used to create a product, give it away for free and have to support for a year or two. They charged for support.
They now only offer software with 5 year lifespan, sell it for enough to *make money*, and still offer support services for a fee. They now also promote OSS via the Fedora project, but have no obligation to support it (therefore lower costs).
If people don't like Fedora's release cycle, and don't want to pay for RHEL or whatever, they have to go somewhere else.
Sounds like their focusing on what makes money, and dropping that which doesn't. How does that *not* make sense for a business?
Could you explain just how "this" will effect their enterprise business? How does a few thousand non-paying users negativly affect their business, which is clearly the enterprise market, not Joe user??
Some good points, but I don't think there's any concentration of "expensive drugs" in the suburbs (LSD being one of the cheapies at $5/hit). I've found you can get just about any drug, just about anywhere.
Well children basically have no rights. They are pretty much their parents property, so no it doesn't violate their rights.
I think this only goes to show what the school system is designed for anyhow, creating and managing cattle.
Of course it makes sense to relive teachers of some duties via technology, what with class sizes getting larger and larger each year. It only makes sense.
I do find it utterly disgusting that it would come to this, people looking for quick fixes instead of asking tough questions.

I thought it was widely known that MySQL is made for speed, and postgres is made for reliability.

They all connect to each other at peering points, thus ineternetworking networks.

You can't major in education... you fail at everything, then settle for education.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.

That their products will run on a Distro *other than* Redhat?
I really wanted to try the directory server, but it *requires* redhat (and comes only in rpms).
Who said anything about being right?
What is the difference between paying 449 for SuSE standard server (1 year of updates), and 349 for Redhat ES (1 year updates)?
Is Redhat not just moving towards a Suse like model?
So why did bother replying?

What communities are "Drug free" (other than those that are completly cut off from the outside world)?
Several decades? People having been doing drugs for a shit load longer than decades... try 100s if not 1000s of years!
I don't see how idiotic drug policy is inseprable from race... please enlighten us-
If you think the modding on /. has any weight to it, your a bigger fool than the ones who modded the parent a troll.
I mean really, think about it.
go to apple.com/store, there you will find all of your options.
Ever heard of Libranet? Yt's based on Debian and has been around for a bit.
I don't believe the 10D has spot metering either.
Ah but you forget, they have a nasty bark, very little bite.
