Linux is great and all, but you really wind up with an incohesive jumble of software, each developed in it's own little bubble with no knowledge of the others. If your lucky you can get an integer return value to tie it all together.
You don't need to sit there in the street and try the combinations
it's not random burglars that would get the most criminal use
buy one of these, mod it to auto-brute force your neighbours garage
131072 is not a lot of combinations.
1 attempt every minute would take 91 hours.
Of course, being a nieghbour gives you the opportunity to find out the manufacturer which reduces your burden to 512 combinations
On the other hand you could just get your binoculars out and look @ the manufacturers logo which will no doubt be emblazoned on your expensive garage doors.
512 - no problem. I remember @ school brute forcing a 3 digit padlock during spare time in my lunch hour over the course of a week
if you work for anyone you are pushing their political agenda. Using Microsoft products, even if you warezed them, is pushing their product and their politics.
Every HTTP_User_Agent entry is a political statement / marketing tool.
If you think that oiling the wheels of capitalism isn't dancing to someone else's tune then I suggest you re-evaluate.

Anyone know of any details around SMP versions of HT CPUs. It's not a very google friendly set of search terms.
I expect that there would be a performance difference if the scheduler knew which were real cpus and which were half of an HT pair.
Even flags to fork concerning which processor to fork to. i.e. --this_cpu_but_different_HT_CPU Because you might want the freedom to attempt to reduce the in-CPU cache misses and the like.
but surely someone who was qualified to comment would know how to spell kernel?
It's not that I want to pull you up for bad spelling but in order to speak with authority one must get the simple things right.
Apologies if you have some sort of linguistic problem but people who seriously study kernel performance see the word kernel constantly and therefore one would expect them to spell kernel kernel.
The next thing you know they are going to be taking something like unix and adding a letter to it and calling it the greatest thing sence sliced bread
August 1980: Microsoft announces XENIX OS, a portable operating system for various 16-bit microprocessors. XENIX is an interactive, multi-user, multi-tasking system. It will be able to run all of Microsoft's existing system software, and also be compatible with the programs written for UNIX OS.
[Xenix was actually an OEM version of Unix licensed by ATT]
August 1984: Microsoft announces that it will use XENIX and MS-DOS for its new personal computer, the IBM PC AT. The new PC sets the standards in multi-user systems. Both of its operating systems support the Intel APX-286 microprocessor.

A Seattle jury called it misappropriation of trade secrets and last month [Dec 2001] awarded a $16.5 million in damages to Fernando Falcon and Federico Gilligan.
The Argentine inventors Falcon and Gilligan invented a computer mouse that allowed concurrent pointing and scrolling. They showed their work in 1993 to KeyTronicEMS, a computer electronics manufacturer in Spokane, Wash., and helped the company build two prototypes. Together they planned to take the mouse to market.
At the time, KeyTronic was struggling to overcome an $8 million loss and hoping to land a lucrative contract making keyboards for Microsoft Corp.
KeyTronic's then-director of research and development, Charles Fauble, assured Falcon and Gilligan that he would show the mice to Microsoft developers at a December 1993 business meeting. That was the last time anyone remembers seeing the devices.
KeyTronic couldn't explain in court how it lost the devices, and Microsoft couldn't explain how the inventors' technology wound up in its Intellimouse, which hit store shelves in 1996.
Here's what was clear: KeyTronic scored a $160 million keyboard contract from Microsoft, and Microsoft raked in roughly $650 million from one of the best selling mouse products of all time.
Vickrey said there was no evidence that Microsoft knew it was getting Falcon and Gilligan's confidential technology.
You guys are exactly what the Penis_bird said you were... a bunch of easily riled idiots.
Lame ones at that too. With 2 cent posts that aren't worth mod points. All you do is complain.
But nooooooo you wanna spurt your pseudo intellectual criticism by posting the obvious yet stupid comment that people don't read the articles.
Because, in fact, that same argument has been used for the past 5 years now, and you think you're going to get modded up 'insightful' for making a highly thought out remark about the world.
Guess again you losers. I feel like an Anonymous Coward compaining about trolls. Everything you say about Slashdot is straight out of a mold.
Push button, inject polyurethane into die-cast mold... and presto: a moaner with a Slashdot-bashing comment.

open source OS companies (like RedHat)
as far as I can see Red Hat is a for-profit company just like any other. If they want to call a tune they have to pay the piper just like anyone else.
The volume of computing means that non "trusted" machines will be available. You don't think people like Yahoo will suddenly switch from FreeBSD to Windows because they can only find motherboards with an AMI bios?
If applied across all executables and scripts.
Especially if it could be fine grained down to a per user basis. i.e. a system wide policy of who can run what.
Then you could have root to be only available in single user mode.
Stick that up your rootkit.

This story is much better

It's about attitude not achievement.

and once again here we have a demonstration of that.
