I would think that the editors of Slashdot wouldn't point their users to the MSNBC site, especially since Miscos**t wants AOL-Netscape to die. Yet time after time they do! Bill Gates and the stockholders make money on every Slashdot clik-thru. This means they have more resources to eliminate things like open source. DO YOU UNDERSTAND, SLASHDOT EDITORS!?!?!
I think MSNBC sucks, anyway. They have very few original articles. They mostly rehash Washington Post and standard wire services stories. Why not link to the real Washington Post or CNN or better yet Northern Light.

Because they are stupid enough to have a buffer overflow problem in the first place! And since just about every Microsoft 'fix' requires a reboot, 24/7 environments put off doing these 'fixes'.
Right. I've got Linux on this side, and a Mac on that side. Why should I shed a tear for those Microsoftian victims?
They're just the self-perpetuating IT underclass. They have their little virus problem, we don't. We get things done, they're busy reinstalling their system.
Some are at the top of the pyramid, and the unwashed masses are at the bottom.
Aside from that, Microsoft is (maybe) going to face a REAL problem selling their new.NET Centralized Virus Repository & Enabler infrastructure to a millions of scared clients. Surely there is a Horatio Alger story in there somewhere for those who see the light.
In addition, the 867MHz system has 2MB of L3 backside cache running at one-fourth the processor speed...
Hmm... makes me think that this cpu is hungry enough for an off-the-shelf DDR solution instead of their obsolete 133 SDRAM and expensive '219 mhz' L3 cache combo.
Your article's score is your censorship on Slashdot. Isn't the default to display only the 1s and above? And I think it works fine.
But the point I want to address is that being 'civil' about mega corporations refusal or inability to publicly release interface specs to their products doesn't count for shit. Corporations are entities that don't have feelings. Be nice or mean to them, whatever suits your mode. Just remember that they want money. Period.
If you need some product specs, usually what's needed is a contact within the mega corporation who can get docs unclassified.
The folks at the linuxbios project went through hell trying to get AMD to un-NDA the bits of info needed to init the Athlon's level-two cache. Then one day out of the blue some AMD employee posted on the mailing list and asked what he could do to help. Bingo. Done. All that was needed was the right contact.
2- The hardware remained essentially the same years after its introduction.
(Since Rebel.com is down, I can't verify though) Why would I pay a premium price for a 266Mhz StrongARM, when I can get a crazy PIII Celeron system for cheaper. At the time it was introduced, the NetWinder was a decent price point (as a dedicated web server), but not now.
And their market has been effectively commoditized by the Taiwan motherboard makers with their BookPCs. One basic BookPC can be a fanless ViaC3 internet appliance or Xterminal, a thin client, be a 1.33 Athlon office workstation, or put into a 1U rack case. Maybe Rebel would still be in business if they had followed market realities and given up on the StrongArm.
...there is far from any consensus that this warming is a result of human activity.
About the only people in the scientific community that don't believe in what you say are the very few who get research grants from big oil companies to make up research poopooing global warming.
Tell the BSA thug to get lost and call your lawyer. The BSA only wants money for finding unlicensed software. They will get reasonable if they have to go through your lawyer.
One is in a much safer position vis-a-vis Micros**t if they never register their software.
They used to be much stronger, more radical. They're is still around. Mostly used to be a loose anarchist-style movement.
While eco terrorism deals with property destruction, and in my mind not so bad, people sometimes get killed. I remember the tree spiking fiasco. Instead of it preventing trees getting logged, sawmill employees got creamed when their huge blade shattered from the spike.
The ecology movement doesn't address overpopulation, by far the root cause of our environmental problems. The idea that we can be comfortable with 6 billion people living like paupers doesn't cut the mustard in this world of technology.
SO can be run on any X-window system without a window manager. In fact, it runs a lot quicker without a window manager. This means a bunch of Xterminals hanging off an application server is a very inexpensive solution for office workers.
So I suppose that they fixed the whole not-being-able-to-print problem??
Not sure if I know what you mean here, but Sun is definitely maintaining the 5.2 code. There are some good sources of free support for SO, including a usenet newsgroup. Once you get past the 'convert MS Office files' stage, the life of most SO users is pretty good.
I wonder what in Caldera's distro is licenseable on a per-seat basis?
Then again, maybe it is a ploy to get at the Stepford IT people who pay lots of money for their Micros**t products and think that free software is BAD, expensive software=good.
Hello? What country are you talking about? They don't pay diddly in the US! They pay more to bribe the politicians with campaign contributions and honorariums than they do in taxes.
At least the government must abide by the legal rights a citizen has. Corporate pig networks don't have to abide by privacy laws, don't have to run lines out to rural areas, and don't have to care about anyone or anything but making money for themselves. I trust the government more than I do MSN.
