I pegged it at usian becuase it seems to be prevelent there. I guess it is because of the way septics speak.
When I was in NYC with my friends we noticed that almost everyone there said "yuh know wha'm sayin'?" at the end of almost every sentence. For fun we started slurring "you know I'm insane?" instead, much to our amusment. We shared this bit of info with our hosts and the amusement was all round.
My point is you're talking crap that you know fuck all about.
> I also don't think anyone expected there to be so many machines attached to each other as we have now.
In 1988 Fidonet had already been running for 4 years.
Compuserve had POPs all over Europe.
I first encountered Cabir in King's Cross train station in London, I'd left my Bluetooth on after toothing on the train.
If you think people are unprepared, walk into a pub and search for Bluetooth handsets. And if you think that Joe Average has the slightest fucking clue about Bluetooth security you are deluded.
Two security researchers say they have discovered a technique for taking control of Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, even when the handsets have security features switched on.
In November 2003, Adam Laurie of A.L. Digital Ltd. discovered that there are serious flaws in the authentication and/or data transfer mechanisms on some bluetooth enabled devices. Specifically, three vulnerabilities have been found:
Firstly, confidential data can be obtained, anonymously, and without the owner's knowledge or consent, from some bluetooth enabled mobile phones. This data includes, at least, the entire phonebook and calendar, and the phone's IMEI.

That would be rare not "rare".
When have buffer overflows ever been rare ?
You *almost* sound like you know what you are talking about.

Ease of a GUI ?
pressing enter 10 times or clicking Next 10 times

I might even turn these off

With non-HD DV video at 12Gb per hour I can fill these disks a couple of times over with my DV tape store.
The summary sounds like a press release, another slashvert ?

Glad you took it in the spirit it was intended.

Bluetooth has an insecure history

Intimates that the BSD was used as the basis, if not copy & pasted.
But thanks, it made me look up the subject for real.
As I said, not "all their own work".
If you re-read my post without your angry glasses on, you'll see it doesn't say what you think it does.

xterms have a baud rate even though they are not serial consoles
NFS - puke
SSH - band aid
etc. etc.
it *could* be so much better
But you have to get people to even see it is a problem, like being alcoholic.
Unixaholism is a disease, DrSkwid is the cure !!
If you're going to say it's GNU/Linux because of the wonderful userland (and not because of glibc) then perhaps you should call it Bell-Labs/GNU/Linux

I want to SSH in to the server and set up my new wave NFS

wtf! credit the INVENTORS not the imitators!
get over it and start the next wave
haha, you TOTALLY misunderstood me =)
I was replying to this from the parent to my post :
"As a developer, if you value your work, the GPL is the better license under which to release code"
Because of that confusion it took me a few reads of your post (after I replied) to work out what you actually meant - and it was a spot on reply.
I'm not surprised you took umbrage if you missed that bit. I'm a FreeBSD user and am totally behind the BSD philosophy.
keep up the good work =)
That's right. The GPL just don't get that.
I've never seen anyone complain that a commercial entity used some BSD code as the basis for a project (except for Theo and his SSH rant =).
Imagine the devastation if the first TCP/IP stack out of Redmond had been all their own work!
I wonder how many of the "gpl stops you getting ripped off" people have ever PAID for Linux ?
I've bought it twice and I don't even like it !
hmm, did you reply to the wrong post ?
Yeah, killing the product line of a Linux based router is definitely a win, they won't make that mistake again.
OSX - you seem to have missed the caveat : improved.
License wars, yawn.
yes, you're right, I should have said "here in England".
you missed the caveat : IMPROVED
So it supports diskless terminals via PXE, centralized authentication and distributed computing out of the box ?
my fault, I thought I was making the name up.
