Wow MDS and Pulse look pretty cool... but the documentation for Pulse 2 is lacking. For example, one of my first questions would be "Do the Windows machines need to run an 'agent' first for pushing software installs?"
"English documentation will soon be available, stay tuned."
According to wikipedia I know this is a bit citation Nazi-ish, but please don't cite Wikipedia directly. Any random yahoo could have thrown that up 5 minutes ago... hell you could have made that edit 5 minutes ago!
That entire intro paragraph doesn't have one citation other than a passing reference to Title 10 USC
Just sayin'...I'd like to read the part of the USC that sets up the NSA but honestly that's a big law document to parse
I've found that the best way to keep yourself sane while reading Slashdot is to try not to get pulled into the "Slashdot subculture"'s groupthink. I read/. for the news and the articles, and the occasional post that either coaxes me to think in a completely different way about a story (hence, Insightful), throws out some fact that I didn't know before (usually informative), or just makes me chuckle.
Try not to get sucked in by the posters that try to turn damn near EVERYTHING into a political debate
And yes I served 15 months in Iraq (just got back and left the Army three months ago) and no, I'm not new here.
I understand that there is "telling it like it is" and not pulling any punches, but if you've read http://boycottnovell.com/ for more than a day you might start to think that Roy Schestowitz is a little bit paranoid... there are several people in the open source world that have openly argued with him on his blog, because he has made baseless accusations without factual evidence.

whoosh
Try http://wiki.contribs.org/Main_Page - DNS queries for smeserver.org fail...

First world countries have consumer protection laws. (I am so getting -1 flamebaited for this!)
You think you're going to get -1'd for bashing America's lack of consumer protection policies? You must be new here... :)
OK but its possible your cablemodem can't handle a large amount of open TCP connections, or something along those lines.
Bursts of HTTP traffic looks a lot different than 200 open connections to an embedded device
(I know firsthand because I had to flash my Linksys WRT54G to Linux to get it to handle any kind of load...)
Methinks we've been trolled folks.
I for one support these muppet coders of which you speak.
Lol well I was just expecting a one-liner in something like "10 USC Section 5 Subsection 4 Paragraph 3" or whatever :P

Whoooosh!
/. humor on a Sunday.. relax man
It was just a little
Posts like these are why I keep coming back to /.
Good form sir.
or are the server/article timestamps off? It's definitely not 3:30 am in any of the US timezones....
Cue the /. crowd's standard Orwellian freak-out in 5, 4, 3....
Not that it's not definitely justified in this case. As the "dept." line says, "As long as you're not doing anything wrong...."
Citizendium can be the answer to many of these problems...
Also Wikitruth sheds a lot of light on ol' Jimbo Wales and his shenanigans

The quota is "I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine"
Sorry for the OT post but every time I read your sig Vader kills a puppy
OK I know I'm feeding the trolls but you know you can choose to NOT see certain authors' stories under Preferences->Homepage, right?
"Oh I'm sorry... did I accidentally stab you in the face with this rapier?"
What the hell is an NPD? Can we please define obscure acronyms in the summary? I mean... WTF :)
Wow look at this whole thread... the mods are on crack...
Maybe anonymous people moderating posts doesn't actually work in practice?
I'll give it a show on the openSUSE buildservice
/. meme... I wasn't seriously asking the question
Also.. the "does it run on linux" thing is a
run on LINUX?
"Domains may disappear" is a bit different than "NSI Registers Every Domain checked"
News does evolve over time... that's why it's news.

See http://boycottnovell.com/2007/11/25/gnome-foundation-ooxml-ecma/ for an example of this... Jeff Waugh (of the GNOME foundation) is one example of someone who has argued with him
Wow... crazy. So you believe that the "goal" of voting should be to support the ideal "different parties in the legislative and executive branch"?
That's crazy man. Doesn't that sound like an extremely broken machine to you? Wouldn't it make more sense to try to fix the machine?
